Clone of the heavens: I activated spiritual energy recovery

After the pig iron cooled down, Zhang Shi asked the Black Dragon Guard to take it with him and prepare to return to Xianyang to resume his life.

When they came, there were one hundred black dragon guards.

When he returned, there were only thirty Black Dragon Guards left, and the remaining Black Dragon Guards had to guard near the iron mine until the imperial court sent someone to take over.

Another day passed and Zhang Shi returned to Xianyang.

Zhang Shi arrived in the Qin Dynasty for eight days, and finally opened up the situation and gained a firm foothold.

"Commander Zhang, you first bring your things to announce the good news to His Majesty. I have to go back to Wangyi Palace and clean myself up. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful for me to look like this."

"Master Zhang, if you please, I will ask two brothers to escort you to the eldest son's palace."

"Then thank you, Commander Zhang."

Under the escort of two black dragon guards, Zhang Shi returned to Wangyi Palace. He had no choice but to live in Wangyi Palace as he had no place to live in Xianyang City. He thought Fusu wouldn't mind if he came.

"Eldest Young Master, let me wash up first. After living in the wild for four or five days, my whole body stinks. I hope Eldest Young Master doesn't dislike it."

"Zhang Si, you are a hero of our Great Qin. How could I dislike you?"

Under Fusu's arrangement, Zhang Shi enjoyed the luxurious life of the ancients. It was really refreshing to have someone help him wash and change clothes, and to be able to do it all without having to do it himself.

Zhang Shi had just finished washing up and was having dinner with Fusu when Ying Zheng sent someone to summon him to the palace to meet the emperor.

"My lord, I forgive you."

Zhang Shi was indeed hungry, so he ate. Before he could eat more, Ying Zheng's envoy arrived. He had no choice but to pick up the roast mutton on the table and walk out while eating.

"You can take the carriage, and you can continue to eat on the carriage. There is no need to be in such a hurry."

After Fusu finished speaking, Zhang Shi had already left the room.

He had no choice but to ask the palace people to catch up with Zhang Shi and let Zhang Shi ride in the carriage. He also packed half of his meals and put them on the carriage for Zhang Shi to eat on the way.

I have to say that Fusu is really kind to his own people. He is the only prince of a country who can do this.

The carriage was very slow. It took seven or eight minutes to walk from Wangyi Palace to Xianyang Palace. This time was enough for Zhang Shi to eat half full.

Xianyang Palace, Yingzheng Study Room.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be safe."

"Aiqing is free."

Judging from the title, Zhang Shi has been promoted to the status of Aiqing. It can be said that Zhang Shi has indeed made great achievements this time.

Zhang Han had already reported Zhang Shi's actions during this period to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng knew what Zhang Shi had done and had a good impression of Zhang Shi. Not only was he serious about his work, but his iron-making methods were indeed advanced.

[Hey, this is my life of hard work. Just after eating, Brother Zheng, you call me. If Fusu Renhou hadn't let me continue eating on the carriage, I would have to come to work hungry.]

[Forget it, who made you the emperor, the biggest one in the world? I feel wronged, but I endure it]

Listening to this inner voice, Ying Zheng laughed out loud.

"My dear, you have made great contributions to Zhouzhi Iron Mine. What reward do you want?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to take credit. It's all up to your Majesty's arrangement. Moreover, the brothers of the Black Dragon Guard also contributed a lot. Commander Zhang Han is very cooperative with Wei Chen. If it weren't for Commander Zhang Han's support, Wei Chen wouldn't be able to accomplish this so quickly."

【Reward? At least you have to give me a house. You can’t let me live in Fusuna all the time. I feel uncomfortable living here, and Fusu doesn’t feel comfortable either. I’ll give you the rest. It’s good to give me some money.]

[On the contrary, Zhang Han can make friends with the three war gods in the late Qin Dynasty, who almost saved the life of the Qin Dynasty. If it weren't for Zhao Gao, that military idiot, the Qin Dynasty might still be able to survive for a few more years]

After hearing this, Ying Zheng already knew what he should reward. A house, money, etc. would not be small, but he also had to give him a title. He was never stingy in his treatment of meritorious officials.

There is also Zhang Han, the commander of the Black Dragon Guard, who has such a glorious experience in the future. He must be a talented person. Continuing to be the commander of the Black Dragon Guard is a bit of an incompetence. He should be released to lead troops in battle.

"Zhang Shi, I will give you a house by the Weishui River. You just don't have a place to live yet. I will give you three hundred gold and silver coins, and I will give it to a noble official who can go to court to discuss matters."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Zhang Shi was also happy in his heart. As expected, he had to work with a good leader. Those who had meritorious service in the government would be truly rewarded, including a house, money, and status.

"Your Majesty, the method of iron-making is not perfect at present. Please send me some blacksmiths and carpenters. I am confident that I can perfect the method of iron-making. It just so happens that I also need the help of carpenters and blacksmiths to build the curved shaft plow."

"Okay, I will give you a warrant. You can mobilize the blacksmiths and carpenters at will. I hope you can do more things. There is also the matter of farming. Food is the foundation."

"Your Majesty, I know this."

[Brother Zheng, you have to give me a break. It’s not time to farm yet. I’ll solve the problem of iron tools first, and then I can solve the problem of farming. Things have to be done one by one]

Ying Zheng also knew that he had to do things one by one, but he was anxious and urgently needed Zhang Shi to use his knowledge to quickly change the Qin Dynasty.

"I will give you a few days off. Go back and have a good rest. You have been tired from the past few days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave. By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that eating milk is good for the body. Your Majesty, you can eat some. It will help delay the aging of the body."

"I know, I will let someone get some to eat."

[Brother Zheng, I can only help you so much. You still have to take care of your body. If you don’t give up the pursuit of immortality, it’s hard for us people to advise you]

Ying Zheng smiled slightly. Zhang Shi was indeed kind to him. Although he had only known him for ten years, he still had an inexplicable affection for him. He hoped that he would live longer and make sincere contributions to the Qin Dynasty.

Before Zhang Shi left Xianyang Palace, he went to receive his reward. Three hundred gold and silver coins had been sent to his house.

"Hey, I can be considered a homeowner in Da Qin. I have a big house of [-] to [-] square meters. I will buy a few slaves first, and then officially visit Fusu to thank Fusu for taking care of me."

After seeing the big house, Zhang Shi took some money and went out to buy slaves. By the way, he took a good look at Xianyang City and learned more about the situation among the people of the Qin Dynasty.

How should I put it, Zhang Shi felt awkward walking on the streets of Xianyang City. He was used to seeing modern cities, but when he suddenly came to the ancient city, he couldn't blend in.

Finding a place where slaves were sold, Zhang Shi bought twenty slaves, half male and half male.

Next was the big purchase, which he didn't understand very well, so he could only leave it to the slaves. As for whether the slaves would deceive him, there was no need to worry. Qin's laws were very strict and had a strong deterrent effect on the slaves.

He himself went to Wangyi Palace to visit Fusu. He had only been a guest in Wangyi Palace before.

This time it was a formal visit, and I wanted to get to know what kind of person Fusu was.

Zhang Shi arrived at Wangyi Palace, but Fusu was not there. He only left a message for him, saying that he had to go out of the city for urgent matters and it might take a few days to come back. He had to go back to his house and deal with the affairs of the house first.

That night, Zhang Shi asked for help from his body.

He currently requires a lot of technology and a lot of physical objects for early transition.

Papermaking, printing, war horse equipment designs, more advanced iron-making methods, more advanced mining methods, waterwheel designs, cement production processes, more advanced bellows designs, curved plow designs, more excellent future generations Grain seeds, fertilizer production process.

The main body Zhang Peng had no choice but to mobilize all the clones to prepare technical materials for Zhang Shi. The No. [-] clone had the heaviest task. It can only be said that the No. [-] clone can mobilize more resources, and many things have to be done by the No. [-].

The next day, Zhang Shi found a blacksmith and a carpenter to continue to improve the blast furnace ironmaking method, come up with an ironmaking method that is in line with the current era, and increase iron production.

On the third and fourth days, Zhang Shi still studied with the blacksmith and carpenter, and instilled some basic knowledge to improve the gold content of the steel industry.

It wasn't until the fifth day that the first version of the blast furnace ironmaking method was perfected and could be applied to all parts of Daqin. It could increase Daqin's iron output by at least ten times and triple the quality of the iron.

On the sixth day, Zhang Shi went into the palace to meet the saint and reported his achievements during this period.

Ying Zheng gave him a holiday, but he still had to do his work during the holiday. At most, he didn't have to stay with the boss all the time and had enough free time to work from home.

While doing research with the blacksmith and carpenter, Zhang Shi discovered a shortcoming of his own, that is, he did not know Qin Xiaozhuan and Xiaozhuan writing. He could understand what others said, and others could understand what he said. But he cannot read or write.

Qin Xiaozhuan is really difficult to write and read, but in order to live a better life in the Qin Dynasty, you still have to learn what you need to learn.

Fortunately, Zhang Shi's understanding is amazing and his learning progress is good. It's just that his calligraphy skills are not good and he still needs to practice, but his handwriting can be understood by others, which is already very good.

"Your Majesty, I have lived up to expectations and have perfected the method of making iron in the blast furnace. The blacksmiths and carpenters you asked me to dispatch have mastered the method of making iron and can make large-scale iron at any time."

"Very good. My dear, you are worthy of being the pillar of my Great Qin."

[Hey, brother Zheng, where are you going? Increasing iron production is only the first step to making a country strong. As long as you don’t die, brother Zheng, I can come up with more good things and continue to change Daqin]

[The next step is to make a batch of curved shaft plows and iron farm tools. I just don’t know if Brother Zheng is willing to let the iron tools be dispersed among the people. Forget it, it’s too early to say this. We won’t let the iron tools be dispersed among the people for the time being.]

[Speaking of which, [-] farmers would have to make at least [-] farm tools and a thousand ploughs, which would require a lot of iron. The Zhouzhi Iron Mine is temporarily unable to produce enough ore, so I just don’t know if Brother Zheng is willing to give me a batch of iron. 】

[It’s hard to do, just take it one step at a time]

The first matter of iron-making has come to an end. Zhang Shi is thinking about the second matter of farming, and his thoughts are flying as he thinks about it.

Ying Zheng also had a headache at the moment. If he wanted to increase grain production, he needed iron farm tools. However, [-]% of the iron tools were supplied to the army. Even if the iron output increased tenfold now, the output of iron tools would still be limited for a while.

So hearing that Zhang Shi wanted so many iron tools, he didn't know where to get a batch of iron for Zhang Shi.

For a moment, Ying Zheng didn't speak, but started thinking.

Zhang Shi didn't say anything. He was thinking about whether to ask for help from the main body and share a batch of farm tools from the main body. However, the source of these farm tools was a problem.

It was quiet in the main hall. The palace attendants on the side looked at the two people who were thinking and did not dare to disturb them. They retreated silently to reduce their sense of presence.
