At the end of the year, Zhao Tuo took Zhang Han and other subordinates to inspect the Shaofu official office where he had worked for more than half a year.
Smelting yard, paper mill, catering place...
"One last look."
Zhao Tuo felt a little nostalgic.
Zhang Han sighed: "I have served in the Shaofu for nearly ten years, and I have never seen anyone like the great concubine. In just half a year, I have created papermaking, printing, the three treasures of cavalry, the treadmill, the water mill, Waterwheels...everything is a weapon of the country, and they are all sacred objects that the world can't imagine. According to the opinion of the subordinates, the post of Shaofu is specially designed for the great concubine. There is no one in the world who can compare with the great concubine. The elder is more qualified for this position."
Zhao Tuo smiled slightly and accepted Zhang Han's flattery.
He also felt that the position of Shaofu was the most suitable for utilizing the ability of a time traveler.
For example, in the past few months, he has made people come up with a treadmill that can spring rice. When he was walking through the Weishui River, he thought of the wonderful use of water power, and took advantage of the situation and built a water treadmill that can use water.
Now that we thought of using water power, waterwheels that could irrigate farmland and watermills that were linked to mills came into being.
In fact, the principles of these things are simple. They can be easily made with the productivity level of this era. The main thing is to see if anyone can imagine that once they are made, it will have a great impact on the entire era.
And this is the real role of the time traveler.
Even though Zhao Tuo didn't know the specific technologies of many later generations, he had advanced concepts and correct ideas, and with the help of a large number of skilled craftsmen and ink masters under the Shaofu's jurisdiction, he could move forward.
Sometimes, finding the right direction is more important than anything else.
"If I am allowed to serve as the Young Master for another ten years, I can improve the technological level of the Qin Dynasty in all aspects by more than a thousand years."
Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart.
It's a pity that he doesn't have enough time. After the New Year, Zhao Tuo will no longer be the young master.
He turned to look at Zhang Han and said: "Shaorong, you should study the things I mentioned carefully. If you can figure them out, it will be a great achievement. Especially the telescope I mentioned, it is a weapon in military competition. It is extremely useful on the battlefield. As soon as you get it, present it to the emperor and send it to the battlefield."
"Zhang Han will definitely live up to the expectations of the young master and make the telescope!"
Zhang Han spoke in a deep voice, his voice firm.
This was the trust Mr. Zhao had placed in him. If he couldn't fulfill it, Zhang Han would not be able to see him again.
Zhao Tuo nodded, he was still assured of Zhang Han's ability to do things.
Grassland and desert stretch as far as the eye can see.
If you could get a telescope out, it would be a super artifact.
Although transparent glass could not be made in this era, Zhao Tuo remembered that he had seen pictures of the "Warring States Crystal Cup" unearthed in later generations.
It is a national treasure comparable to the Stepmother Wuding and the Bronze Divine Tree. It is completely transparent and has the same appearance as a glass. It can be used as a telescope lens.
It's just that crystals with extremely high purity are hard to find, and polishing and polishing is also a delicate job. This matter cannot be rushed. Zhao Tuo doesn't have enough time to stay in Xianyang, so he can only leave it to Zhang Han.
Zhao Tuo believed that no matter who took over the post of young master, he would never dare to abandon the several projects he left behind, and would even strongly support them.
"With the three treasures of the cavalry, the telescope, and the pot helmet noodles, it's time for a change of overlord on the grassland."
After Zhao Tuo "entrusted" Zhang Han, he put aside the affairs of the Shaofu.
In the last days of September, he met his first guest from Kanto.
"It's the New Year, but Chen Sheng left his wife and children to come here. I feel very uneasy."
Zhao Tuo spoke very politely, without any hint of arrogance after gaining power in his words, which made Chen Ping breathe a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that he had rejected Zhao Tuo's hint of solicitation, and now he came eagerly, which would make Zhao Tuo feel a trace of contempt in his heart.
Chen Ping had not been in contact with Zhao Tuo for a long time, so he was not very clear about the character of the great concubine.
Now that he saw the concubine treating him politely, he immediately felt relieved.
"The chief concubine did not think that Chen Ping was from a humble background, but he personally invited him in a letter. I am deeply grateful for this kindness. I will serve you now. Please don't give up, the chief concubine."
Chen Ping bowed down with a respectful expression, and his words directly expressed his intention to surrender.
The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth curled up slightly. This was the benefit of power and status.
In the past, he was a lord of five hundred in Wei. Chen Ping's many hints and solicitations were politely rejected by the other party.
Now, as the chief concubine, Zhao Tuo only needed a letter to ask Chen Ping, who had rejected him in the past, to abandon his beloved wife and travel thousands of miles to serve him before the New Year.
The scene in later generations where "the tiger's body shook and all the heroes bowed down" is not necessarily fake.
The premise is to have enough power and position and the opportunity to bring benefits to others.
Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "Chen Sheng and I are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. I will host a banquet for Chen Sheng tonight. Then I will invite Shejian, Heiyi, Xiqigu and other troops. We are acquaintances, let’s catch up on old times. Oh, by the way, there is also a Lisheng from your Wei Dynasty, has Chen Sheng ever heard of her?”
"A three-inch tongue talks about surrendering a country. I have heard of Li Sheng's name. It is a great honor for me to serve with such heroes in the tent of the great concubine."
Chen Ping lowered his head and answered.
Li Shiqi's deeds of surrendering to the Qi Kingdom have already spread throughout the world. His hometown of Chenliu is very close to Yangwu County where Chen Ping lives. How could he not have heard of it? It can even be said that he heard it like thunder.
According to Chen Ping's understanding, Li Shiqi chose to follow Zhao Tuo when he was conquering Wei. From then on, he soared into the sky and became famous all over the world.
That was the opportunity that Chen Ping gave up, but Li Shiqi seized it.
Thinking of this, envy and jealousy flashed in Chen Ping's eyes.
He thought to himself: "Although I don't have Li Shiqi's eloquence, in terms of resourcefulness, I am definitely not inferior to him. Now that I have joined the chief concubine and become his guest, I must work hard and let me explain. Ping’s name can be spread all over the world in the future!”
After the two chatted for a few more words, Zhao Tuo asked someone to take Chen Ping to his old residence before getting married.
Zhao Tuo now lives in the eldest princess's mansion, so it is naturally impossible to accommodate guests. Fortunately, the old house in the past is also a large house with a good environment. It is also Zhao Tuo's old residence, which has special significance. It is used to house these guests and staff who have defected to him. Of course it's a perfect fit.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Zhao Tuo sneered, thinking of the luxurious lineup he was about to gather.
Top lobbyist Li Shiqi.
Zhongli Mei, the minister of bones and bones.
Chen Ping, a brilliant strategist.
Xiao He, the good minister of logistics.
Cao Shen is used for both civil and military purposes.
The brave warrior Fanhui ascended first.
There are also Zhang Han, Lu Wan, Shejian, Su Jiao, Li Shang and other confidants.
Plus Han Xin, who has a promising future.
That's the lineup.
Zhao Tuo's mentality suddenly expanded.
