Chapter 607: Talk Big About Lishan, Project Restart

Ying Ying Zi Ye saw that Brother Zheng was no longer angry.

He found a seat and sat down.

He talked about the Craftsman Bureau manufacturing weapons.

The appearance of tens of thousands of weapons and cement, and the lack of some bowstring materials.

He told Brother Zheng and the other about these things.

Ying Zheng and General Zhang Han Han were shocked.

They really hadn't expected the Craftsman Bureau to manufacture so many weapons.

The Craftsman Bureau was not small, and there were many small workshops underneath.

But these weapons weren't that easy to make; to put it bluntly, it was a lack of materials.

But now, tens of thousands of sets of equipment had been manufactured all at once.

How could they not be surprised?

They hadn't paid attention to the Craftsman Bureau recently; they didn't expect this change to be so big.

And that thing called cement; Ying Zheng and General Zhang Han Han didn't understand what it was.

But when they heard the explanation, both widened their eyes again.

The role of this cement was truly too great.

Building imperial roads, building the Great Wall, building walls, and even mausoleums could use it.

The uses were quite many, and it was simple and fast.

It was also incomparably hard after solidifying, much more powerful than rammed earth.

Both looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye incredulously.

The emotions about arriving late just now were completely forgotten.

The three started a series of discussions about these weapons and cement.

Bursts of laughter came from the Imperial Study from time to time.

The atmosphere also became incomparably warm.

Ying Ying Zi Ye also told many things.

Things about the northern border and things that happened on the way back.

Finally, Ying Ying Zi Ye even asked Brother Zheng for some imperial edicts.

Not for himself, but because the people below needed to be promoted based on merit.

Like Han Xin and the others, those with merit should be rewarded.

Great Qin's military merit system: reward those with merit; Ying Zheng didn't say much.

What should be rewarded should be rewarded; rewards and punishments were clear.

Killing enemies at the border was the best way to be promoted; everyone knew this point.

General Zhang Han Han also introduced the matter of Xiongnu people being escorted to Lishan.

They must have received the news about these things in advance.

Ying Zheng also revealed a smile.

Because of this matter, his lifespan increased quite a bit.

His mausoleum definitely had to be built; before, the construction had stopped, and he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Now, the project could finally be restarted.

"You brat, hand over that cement technology."

"Using this cement to build the mausoleum will definitely have better results."

Ying Zheng was also very interested in cement.

With cement, his mausoleum would be even easier to build.

However, the number of people was always a bit small.

What could a few tens of thousands of people do?

This was also something he wanted to ask Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Thinking of the number of people here, Ying Zheng couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"Father Emperor, don't worry about cement; there's plenty."

"Don't worry too much about the number of people either."

"Although the number of people is still a bit small now."

"But who can guarantee that the number of people later will still be so small?"

"There will definitely be more and more people."

Ying Ying Zi Ye seemed to see Brother Zheng's worry.

He also knew that the number of people was too small.

After all, Lishan used to have seven or eight hundred thousand convicts building it.

Now there were only a few tens of thousands; the number of people was more than ten times less than before.

"More and more people?"

"Is your idea to capture foreigners to build Great Qin's projects?"

"If you don't use a single one of your own people, in what year and month will those projects be built?"

Ying Zheng had a headache whenever he thought of this.

If it weren't for the fact that disbanding the world's corvée and convicts made the Great Qin people's resentment dissipate, he also increased his lifespan.

Maybe he would have ordered to continue building again.

Disbanding corvée and convicts had the effect of enhancing Great Qin's national fortune, so he wouldn't mess around.

He was afraid that messing around would lower Great Qin's national fortune, which would involve his lifespan.

He remembered the national fortune matter deeply.

He still remembered when he enfeoffed the Crown Prince last time, he almost killed himself.

It was precisely for this reason that the mausoleum was temporarily not being built, and he could only be anxious in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 609 =====
