Yu He heard what I said and said quickly: "I checked carefully. Sanchuan County now only has 180,000 households, but has a population of nearly one million. Compared with the other three counties, which have nearly 300,000 households, and a normal county of five people per It is normal to compare the household registration with each other, and the censor has carefully checked the authenticity of the household registration."
"Yes." I said calmly without any expression: "Do as you said before and let the other three counties find ways to recover as soon as possible. You tell them that I will not issue an order to deal with this matter, but if there is still no improvement within two years , it won’t be so easy to talk when you wait for my edict!”
Yu He's heart was shocked, and he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is merciful, I will definitely supervise with the censors of each county to restore the household registration of the three counties to the true situation."
"Back off."
After Yu He left, I thought for a long time and sighed helplessly. After all, the law of development of all things will not change due to human will.
"Meng He."
Meng He walked in, cupped his hands and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
I stood up and pulled out the Lu Lu Sword and waved it in my hand: "If I hand over the King Qin Sword to you, can you hold it tightly in your own hand?"
The Lu Lu Sword used to be the symbol of the King of Qin and is now the symbol of the Emperor. Whoever holds it means acting on behalf of the Emperor and has the power to kill and seize most lives.
Meng He hesitated for a moment and said carefully: "What does your Majesty mean?"
I put the Lu Lu sword back into its scabbard, sat down and said in a deep voice: "I want you to develop the clean room into an intelligence agency. It is not just for the emperor's patrols, rebellion, and special edicts, but to actively collect information. Report it to me!"
The main function of the clean room was to secretly protect the emperor when he was on tour. I have only used it twice to plot rebellion against the country, once when Bai Tu rebelled, Jing Shi stopped Bai Tu in Zhaohua; once when Ren Xiao rebelled, Nanshan took the initiative to inform me of the details. This was also the only time Jing Shi took the initiative to report to me. As for the special edict, I only used it once when I was looking for Lin Xiao.
Meng He frowned slightly: "Your Majesty means that the clean room will monitor various places and report if there is any abnormality?"
I nodded: "Not only that, but we also need to monitor those court ministers!"
Meng He was shocked. When I came to the throne, I made it clear that the clean room was not allowed to interfere in any state affairs. Now even the court ministers have to be monitored? There was no hesitation on his face: "I understand, let's get started immediately!"
I stared at him closely and warned: "You know the seriousness of this matter. This is more dangerous than King Qin's Sword! It must be firmly held in your hand, and more importantly, do not let anyone notice it. If necessary, use the method It’s okay to go to extremes!”
Meng He said in a deep voice: "I understand!"
Looking at Meng He's back as he walked out, my eyes were sharp. There were lazy people in the past, and there were more households in the future. Since you don’t tell me the truth, don’t blame me for using extraordinary methods!
Not long after, Qi Wan came over with the written edict. I wrote the words "Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty" on the book and handed it back to him.
Seeing that Qi Wan's face looked a little uncomfortable, I asked with concern: "Qi Wan, you don't look good, are you okay?"
Qi Wan was flattered and bowed: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine. It's just that the imperial censor recently investigated the case, and I cooperated by looking through some previous reports. I checked with the censor late last night."
"Just let the people in Zhongshu Yezhe's Mansion do these things. Why do you have to go there in person?"
A smile appeared on Qi Wan's tired face: "Since the incident of intercepting the Jiangnan Supervisory Envoy's report, I have not dared to let go of matters in the palace too much. Now I often go to see it."
I nodded, he never made any mistakes when doing things, and he won my heart.
"You have been with me for five years. When the first scientific examination is over next year and suitable talents are selected, I will let you take up a post in the county. Always following me around doing these chores has buried your talents. At that time, the Zhongshu Yezhe Mansion can also be handed over to others."
Qi Wan quickly raised her hands and said, "I have benefited a lot from being by your Majesty's side. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
I smiled and said no more: "Send the edict as soon as possible, they are going to take some time."
After Qiwan went out, I thought about it, picked up a piece of paper, and wrote down the process of making cement in detail.
If the construction of the new city is to strive to be the best, cement is essential. The raw materials for making cement in this era were not difficult to mine. All you had to do was grind limestone and clay into dough, then calcine the clinker and grind it into powder together with the slag left after ironmaking.
Among them, the lime firing technology has been very mature in the Qin Dynasty. After several years of development in iron making and porcelain firing, high-temperature blast furnaces have been used very maturely.
A few days ago, I talked to Gongsu Jin about the manufacturing methods of large-scale equipment. As long as there are large-scale equipment, the biggest problems of crushing raw materials and grinding powder can also be solved.
All the ingredients for making cement in this way are present.
However, plain concrete is easily cracked when used alone and is not as good as rammed earth roads, so it must be used in conjunction with stones or steel bars. It's just that steel is currently in short supply for making weapons and agricultural tools, and it is definitely not luxurious enough to use it to make steel bars and pave roads.
After thinking about it, I decided to use stone. The Qin Dynasty did not have a "hundred-ton king". It was just a horse-drawn carriage. Stones and cement were enough to be used, and if the rammed earth on the ground was dense, there would be almost no bending problem.
In this way, the carriage must be improved simultaneously, and the carriage must use bearings. Although I have improved the water wheel and large equipment, there is actually a fatal problem, that is, the wooden shafts used in the Qin Dynasty technology are not only inefficient to use, but also extremely easy to damage.
If there are ball bearings, the efficiency will be greatly improved. Don’t look at the fact that in modern society, a small ball bearing can be bought for just a few dollars, but it plays a great role in improving the carrying capacity of the vehicle. The wheeled power source can be made larger and more durable, and it must be manufactured in the future. Machine tools, etc., all use it.
The key to making ball bearings is to have a machine tool that can be used, NND, closed loop...
It wasn't until the sky turned dark and a lot of brain cells were consumed that I improved the prototype of Qin Dynasty's existing lathe based on the technology that is now available, and also drew a drawing. Let’s improve the lathe first. To be precise, the lathe of the Qin Dynasty can only be regarded as having the components of a lathe. It is almost the same as a reeling machine. It cannot really be called a lathe...
I glanced outside the door and saw that Meng He hadn't come back yet, so I ordered Qi Wan.
"Qi Wan, send these drawings to the general's office for import. Tell him that there is no need to worry about the cement. Just test it first and it will be successful, and then mass-produce it after the construction of the new city starts. As for the machine tools, let him study it carefully and study it. Okay, let’s go find Tewu and make machine tools out of fine steel.”
All other things can be replaced with wood and stone, but machine tools, which are so sophisticated, can't make ends meet.
"In addition, he asked him to send people to find the raw materials for making cement. There will definitely be a lot of cement used by then. Sufficient raw materials must be prepared in advance."
