Good Life in Qin Dynasty

"Why fenced off the place?" Ying Zheng asked Li Jiyang after hearing about it.

"Those people are all outsiders. This is in the harem. What if there is no accident?" Li Jiyang had a good reason: "Lv Buwei's lesson from the past!"

At this time, there is already an idiom "a lesson learned from the past", which comes from "Xunzi", which is the teacher of Han Fei and Li Si.

Ying Zheng thought about it, and it really is!

When the queen mother of the two palaces heard that the construction had started, she specially asked for a lot of food and drink to reward the workers.

It's a pity that I can only live up to the kindness of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. These things have been collected by Li Jiyang into the space. These "workers"

They don't eat!

The foundation was completed in three days. The future construction robots are very powerful. During the day, they will work as normal workers. The progress is slow, and there is no one at night. Everyone starts to make all kinds of troubles, and the construction speed is "nightly".

These people didn't see any construction materials being transported in, but when they passed by there, they could see the piles of wood piled up and all kinds of dust piled up. This is mixing cement!

The canal is officially in use, and the land of Guanzhong can be called fertile and wild.

And the keel waterwheel of the inkmen has finally been successfully researched!

"Very good, everyone. In order to celebrate the success of the research, I decided to reward you all!" Li Jiyang looked at these Mohists, because they lived well in Qin Anjun's mansion, all of them had ruddy faces, bright eyes, and well-dressed clothes. clean.

"What reward?" Ju Ziqin looked at Li Jiyang.

"Everyone will get one thousand gold." Li Jiyang gave very generously the first reward.

A thousand pieces of gold!

The Mohists looked at each other in blank dismay, looking at their leader, Ju Ziqin.

Ju Ziqin was also a little dazed. It was the first time he had led the Mohists for so many years and got so much money!

"Each person distributes another hundred shi of grain, and you make your own arrangements. Whether you donate to your colleagues or donate to the poor is up to you." Li Jiyang continued to hit them with things: "The best silk, ten horses, the best thick, ten horses , cloth, a hundred pieces."

Everyone has complicated expressions, it's just a keel waterwheel.

"Don't worry, everyone, these things are your rewards, and there are still many things that you need to continue to work on!" Li Jiyang mobilized them: "The next step is to ask everyone to get an iron cooker."

"Iron cooking utensils?" Ju Ziqin's eyes lit up: "Isn't it made of bronze or pottery?"

"But iron is better, iron pots can be used for cooking!" Li Jiyang took out a set of iron cooking utensils from the space: "Research according to it!"

"Besides, there are still many things that need to be studied. I heard that Shu can extract oil." Soybean oil is already available.

"Press oil?" Ju Ziqin became interested: "Isn't it only for tofu?"

"You can also extract oil." Li Jiyang said: "I don't know how to do it specifically, but you can definitely extract oil."

"What can this oil do?"

"It can be used for anything, it can be used as a lubricant, it can be used as lamp oil, it can be fried, even stewed, and this oil is liquid, just like water, but the color is yellow, thick, and not like Beef and mutton oil are solidified." Li Jiyang gestured to him about the appearance of soybean oil: "The kind looks good, like liquid gold."

After hearing this, all the Mohists were fascinated leisurely.

"There is also porcelain, which is more delicate than pottery. It is extremely smooth and delicate like jade." Li Jiyang continued to tell them new things: "I only saw it at my master's place, and I have samples."

He took out a few porcelain vases. The things used by cultivators are naturally extremely exquisite. The crane on it is depicted lifelike. Now only in the age of pottery, the appearance of porcelain made the eyes of all the inkmen brighten!

Porcelain was called "false jade" in ancient times. Its origin was in the middle of the Shang Dynasty, because it was still rough in both the carcass and the glaze layer, and the firing temperature was relatively low. It shows primitiveness and transition, so it is generally called "primitive porcelain".

It was fired by chance, and no one has systematically found out the best formula, so no one has studied it too much, but it is different now, he has inkmen!

Porcelain is much easier to use than pottery, and it is also more beautiful.

But Li Jiyang knows the recipe!

After providing it, let the Mohist study it.

"But, my lord, we don't have a cave here! How do we burn a kiln?" Ju Ziqin asked Li Jiyang immediately.

"Then what do you want?" Li Jiyang was stunned: "Could it be possible that you still want to build a cave in my son's Qin Anjun mansion to make porcelain?" "No, we want to move out..." The giant rubbed his hands frequently, this time They were about to leave just after they were given a big reward. To be honest, it was a bit unreasonable.

"Are you leaving?" Li Jiyang was angry: "Where is my place?"

"No, you don't have a cave dwelling here..." Ju Ziqin clasped his hands and explained, "That porcelain...."

Li Jiyang looked at them one by one and looked at him longingly: "Forget it, you just follow... to Migu!"

"Migu!?" All the Mohists were surprised.

Migu is famous, and the things that come out there are very impressive, from tofu to cement, from food to use, each one is a mystery.

There is also the owner of Migu, who is said to be a guy named Ling Yi, who is also a dragon who sees his head but does not see his tail.

Qin Anjun is another master. Many people are very curious about Migu. There is not a country in the vassal states that has not sent people to contact Migu, but none of them can enter.

People from Migu rarely come out.

Don't show your face easily.

But Ju Ziqin said cautiously: "Can we not go?"

The Migu is too mysterious, and he really wanted to take a look, but he couldn't, because he was afraid that he would not be able to get out if he brought the Mohists in!

Li Jiyang understood when he thought about it!

"Well, I'll find a place, um, let's build an academy!" Li Jiyang suggested, "Let's call it Mohist Academy, how about it?" When Ying Zheng ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, it can be changed to Daqin Royal Comprehensive Academy.

Because the Mohists are very tolerant, when the time comes, all science and engineering subjects will be provided, such as physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, astronomy, and mathematics, as well as literature, history, and other liberal arts subjects will also be established, which is equivalent to a comprehensive university!

At that time, all the students trained will be officials for Daqin!

However, a military academy must also be built, and only by advancing both civil and military can the Great Qin prosper.

"Building a college? What do you mean?" Ju Ziqin was puzzled.

"You will know when the time comes!" Li Jiyang said: "You don't need to worry about the kiln. First study soybean oil, that is, bean oil, and iron cooking utensils."

After dismissing the Mohists, Li Jiyang strolled around the yard, and then went to the garden behind.

The style of the Qin Dynasty is simple and grand, but there are also graceful details. As early as the Warring States period, there were gardens, and some beautiful flowers and trees were planted in them, such as cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, but there were also many mulberry trees and kapok. , but shorter.

In this season, all the flowers have fallen, but the jujube and hawthorn trees are growing vigorously.

Civil and military colleges must be opened. In the Warring States period, talents are the most important. After Yingzheng unifies the six countries in the future, a large number of people will be needed to govern.

When it's time to use it, it will be less, he has to train it in advance, and his batch of children are a little older now, so let's be the experimental subjects and train them first!

Li Jiyang thought a lot, put aside his personal relationship with Ying Zheng, now that Hu Hai's mother is still gone, Qin may not die in the second generation.

Thinking of the death of the second generation, Li Jiyang thought of the tomb of the first emperor. Yingzheng can't be allowed to do those boring things. There are so many major projects in the world that need manpower, so don't build a grave if you have nothing to do. Isn't it good to have a museum?

Hmm, that's a good idea!

The next day when they went to court, the front line sent back a good news: In the first battle, the Qin army won a complete victory!

Although the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms were fierce, they came to the battlefield after a long journey. They were beaten up by the Qin army who was waiting for work, and captured a number of allied forces. However, they did not kill the prisoners, but took care of them with good food and drink. These people soon cried bitterly I'm running out of tears, the food for the coalition forces is the folk food they forcibly confiscated.

Now the Three Kingdoms may be starved to death everywhere!

Those who came to Zhao Guo were all veterans, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled!

Although the people of Zhao hated the people of Qin, they hated their ruler even more at this time, because the ruler was incompetent!

Also suffered from the plague of locusts, but the state of Qin next to it was able to get through it safely, but the state of Zhao across the water could not!

It's all like this, the Lord of the Zhao Kingdom still wants to choose beautiful women to fill the harem!

Meng Wu did a very dishonest thing, he let those captives go home and brought his family back to Qin!

"You also know that the Lord of the Qin Kingdom has always been a great man with a great strategy. Now the country is building roads, and decent Qin people have no time to farm. If you come here like this, you can definitely go to build roads!" When I told them about the salary, even the people in Zhao Guo were tempted.

"Is it really as good as you say?" Zhao Guo's prisoner asked.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can just ask anyone in our army and you will know that their family members are going to build roads during the slack season!" Meng Wu is full of confidence.

The captives of the three countries were all moved, especially the captives of Chu!

No matter how great the hatred is, it is not that important in the face of life and death.

Maybe they can die without hesitation, but what about their family?

Meng Wu persuaded many people to surrender, and these people were quietly released by him. Instead of returning to the barracks, they returned home, brought their family members, pretended to be refugees, and trekked across mountains and rivers to Qin.

Zhang Ping, who was in charge of resettling the refugees, received the news and immediately arranged for people to help them settle down.

And the leveling work of Qin Guo Avenue has begun to enter a comprehensive renovation, which is more troublesome than that of the canal, because Zheng Guo and Xu Yi will consider and consider each stage, and leave enough space for Qin Anjun to build a station.

The amount of the project is huge, and there are too many people to use. There are not enough people in the Qin country. Once the migrants come, they will have jobs. As long as they work for a month, they will be given grain, cloth and salt. These things are hard currency. After selling food for money, they can build a house.

People in the state of Qin have a lot of problems. They only drink water that has been boiled and let it cool down; they have to take a bath every ten days and a half a month; Deduct wages!

This is a regulation imposed by Li Jiyang.

"Why add this one?" Zhang Ping didn't quite understand.

"After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. It's either a plague or a famine. Now it's a famine. I'm afraid of a plague!" Li Jiyang said earnestly: "Especially in places with a lot of people, they should be cleaned up every day, and a lot of disinfected things should be scattered. Anyone who has diarrhea has to ask for sick leave, don't worry, as long as the person who takes sick leave is really sick, the current month's salary can be halved, not all deducted; but if someone conceals it and does not report, the month's salary will be fully deducted, and the whole family is on the construction site All of them will be deducted!"

I have to say that the word "plague" is too strong, Zhang Ping asked people to enforce it without saying a word, and the enforcement was very strict!

Even if it was just a bad stomach, they were not allowed to go to work, and some of them were punished for not reporting, and everyone was honest.

The Qin State had the upper hand in the war, because they were defending the city, and because of the cement, in a few days, the city was reinforced to be as hard as a bastard shell!

Qin State's internal affairs were carried out in an orderly manner. When the midsummer season came, the general road map of Zheng State and Xu Yi had been drawn.

The two palaces that Li Jiyang was in charge of building had already begun to cap their heads.

But when the queen mother of the two palaces heard that the top can be capped now, she was obviously unhappy.
