The roads in Xianyang City were built faster than expected. After they were fully opened, the craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Revenue to survey and map only returned half of them, so they could not allocate roads!
There are quite a few nobles who came to sign up. Including a group of ministers, there are at least two to three hundred people in Xianyang City, and there must be four to five hundred people outside Xianyang!
Ying Zheng never expected so many people!
When did these guys quietly make so much money?
Since the surveying and mapping has not been completed, the matter can only be put on hold temporarily. Anyway, winter has begun, and even if it needs to be repaired, it will have to wait until the next spring.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ying Feiyu doubled the size of the cement factory in Xianyang and recruited many more people.
"Your Highness, our warehouse can barely contain it!"
As winter approaches, cement sales plummet, and the manager approaches Ying Feiyu to find a solution.
"The warehouse will be rebuilt if it cannot be loaded. The production volume must not be reduced. Just these cements will not be enough to sell by the time spring comes!"
Ying Feiyu was full of confidence.
After the beginning of spring, the construction of highways throughout the Qin Dynasty will begin.
Although there are cement plants in various counties and counties, Xianyang is the central point and the demand will definitely be greater. If there is no cement by then, it will not only delay the progress of road construction, but also delay his making money!
"yes!"
When the prince gave the order, the steward responded and hurriedly went to do it.
The cement factory is located dozens of miles outside the city, surrounded by wasteland and barren mountains. It would be no problem to open up a piece of land and build a shed!
For such a small matter, there is no need to bother the Ministry of Works to send someone over. He led the craftsmen and it was completed in a few days!
In previous years, when the autumn harvest was over and taxes were paid, officials everywhere could breathe a sigh of relief.
But this year is different. After the autumn harvest, officials are busier than in previous years.
Because they listened to Ying Feiyu's advice, governments everywhere built huge granaries for food storage!
This is definitely a good thing for the people.
You can sell the grain directly to the government without letting those grain merchants squeeze another one!
Furthermore, if a disaster really occurs, the government will use these grains to provide relief, but grain merchants will not!
If the unscrupulous grain dealers don't take the opportunity to raise prices, it would be a good idea to trick them!
This year's grain harvest is very good, and there is an endless stream of people coming to the government to sell grain every day!
After getting the money from selling grain, the people began to prepare for the New Year!
The weather was getting colder, and Ying Zheng began to miss the army of the Mauryan Dynasty again.
In another month, the river will be frozen. If it doesn't come back, I might have to wait until next spring!
The telegram was sent, and Han Xin replied that the separated armies had reunited and would turn back in a few days!
After hearing this news, Ying Zheng finally felt a lot more at ease!
…
Maurya.
The army captured Huashi City, King Jialuo was captured, and most of the Mauryan Dynasty's troops were also eliminated. Only then did Han Xin dare to disperse his troops and sweep across the entire territory of the Mauryan Dynasty.
The Mauryan Dynasty had a large territory, and it took more than a month to clean up the remaining tribes. Finally, they met in Huashi City and sent a telegram to Ying Zheng!
"General, we have taken many prisoners this time. We will take 10,000 people out and come back with 20,000 people!"
"Hmph! We are not much worse than you, with a total of eight thousand prisoners!"
"That's right! We haven't spoken yet!"
"It seems that we are the least, only five thousand!"
"No! We are fewer than you, 3,500 people...!"
After the rendezvous, Peng Yue, Wang Li, Fan Kuai, Yingchi and others reported the number of prisoners one after another.
Their main purpose in attacking the Maurya Dynasty this time is to obtain prisoners and bring them back to Xianyang to be slaves and do the most dangerous work!
So after several teams meet up, the competition is not to see who brings back more loot, but to see who brings back the most prisoners!
"Haha, that's right. Register and register. After returning to Xianyang, these will all be military merits!"
The armies reunited smoothly, and Han Xin laughed happily.
The current military merit algorithm is very different from the past!
In the past, it was based on how many enemies were killed!
Now, in addition to killing enemies, it also depends on how many prisoners are captured!
"Thank you, General!"
When they heard the word "military merit", everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Why do you go out to fight? Isn’t it just military merit?
With military merit, one can gain a firm foothold in the family and be given the title of wife and son!
"How many casualties were there in the army?"
Apart from the prisoners, what Han Xin cared about most was the casualties.
"My General Han, the main force of the Mauryan Dynasty is gone. The people in the village are like mice seeing cats when they see us. They are unable to resist at all. No soldiers were killed at all. At most, there were a few injured accidentally! "
Cao Shen laughed jokingly.
"Yes! No one in the army was killed, and three were injured!"
"General, it's the same in our army. No one was killed, but there were a little more injured. There are ten in total!"
"There are eight of us...!"
Everyone picked up their arms and counted them, and the largest group did not exceed twelve.
Some of these people were injured because they disobeyed orders.
Others were injured by enemy soldiers who were still breathing while cleaning the battlefield!
But most often, the ankle is twisted due to running, or the bones are damaged due to collision.
Basically, after practicing for a while, you will be back to your original state!
"That's good!"
After hearing everyone's feedback, Han Xin finally let go of his hanging heart.
"The army will rest for two days and set off for Jilingjia City, take a steamer and return to Xianyang!"
After the war ended, soldiers were left to guard every city. It was time for him to lead his army back to Xianyang to resume his duties.
"Okay! Great...!"
The army suddenly became excited.
"General Han, do you still remember the fruit we ate in Jilinga City before?"
After cheering, Wang Li asked with interest.
"Yeah, remember! That fruit looks strange and tastes good too!"
During this period of time, the war was intense. In addition to studying strategies with the lieutenants every day, they also discussed how to deploy manpower to protect the city that had been conquered.
I have long forgotten these things!
After he reminded me like this, I suddenly remembered it!
"We had just arrived on the island at that time, and the war was the most important thing! Now that the war is over, can we give the soldiers a few days to pick some and have a good time?"
The large area of fruit trees we saw when we arrived on the island bore a lot of strange-tasting fruits.
But when their 300,000 troops came ashore, it wasn’t enough!
So everyone agreed to record all the places where the fruit was available in the Mauryan Dynasty, and when the war was over, they would pick it, make it into cans, and bring it back to Xianyang!
"Do you know where it is?"
Han Xin raised his eyebrows.
"I know! Many soldiers in the army have made detailed records of Xiang. As long as you give them time, they can find it immediately!"
Peng Yue nodded repeatedly.
Even he himself made a lot of records while cleaning up the entire territory, waiting for the war to end so he could pick them up.
"Yes, not to mention other places, from Jilinga to Huashi City, there are quite a few!"
Wang Li said.
"Okay! Then I'll give everyone a few days to pick fruits!"
Han Xin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
