"Sir, I don't understand something, please help me clarify it."
After Wang Li finished writing, he turned around and saluted Zhao Hao solemnly.
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and frowned: "Do you think I'm a 'backgammon click machine'? I don't know where to click? It wasn't enough to hurt me last time, what do you want to do this time?"
"What is a backgammon reading machine?"
Wang Li was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion: "When did Wang Li harm the young master?"
"It's just the military ration analysis you did!"
"oh"
Wang Li was stunned, and then became a little confused: "Why did this military ration analysis harm the young master? Wang Li only studied military rations because of the young master's advice. Could it be that his research was wrong?"
"."
Zhao Hao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead, saying in his heart that you are right and I am wrong.
"Master, please tell me what Wang Li did wrong!"
Seeing that Zhao Hao was silent, Wang Li suddenly panicked.
Zhao Hao raised his head and glanced at him, sighed helplessly and said, "Wang Li, let me tell you the truth. I don't know everything. I don't even know things about the army as well as you."
"No, Master must know this."
Wang Li walked up to Zhao Hao in a polite manner, and then spoke quickly: "Some time ago, I went to the Weiwei Barracks. I heard the sergeant inside said that the food in the Weiwei Barracks was different from other military camps, so I asked about it. After a while, it’s the nutritional balance method arranged by Master Gao.”
"Huh? What then?"
"Then I knew that Gongzi Gao had studied medicine with you, so I wanted to ask you, was it you who taught Gongzi Gao? Because there was no such method in the military camp before!"
"Yes."
Zhao Hao readily admitted it, after all, it was no secret.
But what he didn't expect was that Wang Li was extremely excited: "Great! I also heard that the nutritional balance method can change the physique of soldiers. I recently studied military rations and found that although military rations can fill the stomach, they have no impact on the combat effectiveness of soldiers. The impact is not big, so I just want to ask Master, can this nutritional balancing method enhance combat effectiveness?"
"The purpose of improving soldiers' physical fitness is to enhance their combat effectiveness."
"Really?"
"You ask me and you still doubt me, so why do you ask?" Zhao Hao said a little funny.
Wang Li waved his hand quickly: "No, young master, I just don't understand the relationship between the two, so I want to ask you for advice!"
"Okay, if I tell you this, it should be easier for you to understand."
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "For example, if the Huns and us Qin people fight one-on-one, who can win?"
"Of course he is from Qin!"
Wang Li said without hesitation.
"What about the Qin people and the Yue people?"
"Still from Qin!"
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao snorted and sneered: "Can we stop bragging?"
Wang Li looked at Zhao Hao with confusion.
Zhao Hao said solemnly: "Do you really think the Qin people can defeat the Huns in one-on-one combat?"
"this"
Wang Li was stunned by Zhao Hao's question.
At this time, Mond stopped the pen in his hand and turned around and said: "Young Master, do you want to say that the Huns are taller than the Qin people, have a physical advantage, and have greater combat power?"
"good!"
Zhao Hao nodded and said: "The reason why our Qin army can sweep through the six countries and is not afraid of the Xiongnu barbarians is because our Qin army's equipment is far superior to theirs, and it has the will of a tiger and a wolf. However, in terms of individual combat capabilities, it is actually not as good as the Xiongnu. "
"Why?"
Yang Cen also asked Zhao Hao with interest.
Zhao Hao glanced at him and said with a smile: "The one you are holding is a white wolf dog, which lives in the hometown of Quanrong. The Xianyang nobles raise thin dogs, which come from the land of Guanzhong. The biggest difference between the two is that the white wolf dog is more beautiful." Mighty, thin dogs are faster.”
"That's the regional difference."
"We live in different regions from the Xiongnu. In fact, there are differences. The climate is different, the soil is different, and the water and soil may be different. So, in such an environment, the Huns who eat beef and mutton are naturally different from us who eat whole grains. There is a difference!”
"Come to think of it, this is why the Huns are taller than the Qin people."
"Then what you mean, Master, we Qin people are not as tall as the Huns, is it because of the different diet?" Yang Cen touched the dog's head and asked thoughtfully.
"Climate also has an impact, but the main reason is diet." Zhao Hao touched his chin without a beard and nodded slightly.
Wang Li nodded thoughtfully, and then murmured to himself: "The Huns feed on beef and mutton, while the Qin people feed on grains. The beef and mutton are strong muscles and bones, and they can indeed improve people's physical condition. "
"But the Huns don't live as long as we do!"
Li Zhan suddenly stopped writing and interjected.
Everyone was stunned and seemed to think it made sense. The life span of the Huns was indeed not as good as that of the Qin people.
The average life span of the Qin people in this era was about thirty years old, while the Huns died at most in their twenties.
"Li Zhan is right. The Huns eat beef and mutton. Although they can strengthen their bodies, they are indeed short-lived. We Qin people eat healthier, so we live longer!"
Zhao Hao nodded in approval.
"Oh?" Li Zhan became interested and asked, "Can Master's nutritional balance method solve this problem and make us Qin people strong and live longer?"
"You should just add buffs to the game! It's not that easy. I still want to live longer!"
Zhao Hao glared at Li Zhan with some amazement, and said: "The nutritional balance method can indeed improve people's physique, but there are many factors that affect life span. It does not mean that you will live a long life if you have a good physique."
"Of course, people with poor health will not live long."
"I see."
Li Zhan nodded suddenly.
Wang Li glanced at him and frowned: "Then, can our soldiers eat meat like the Xiongnu to improve their physical fitness and enhance their combat effectiveness?"
Whether he lives a long life or not is not his focus. What he focuses on is combat effectiveness.
If we can find a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, it will definitely be a good thing for the country.
"Eating meat can indeed improve physical fitness and enhance combat effectiveness, but we have to face the question, where does the meat come from?" Zhao Hao said with a half-smile.
"."
Everyone was stunned again.
Yes, the Central Plains is not like the grasslands, and there is not so much beef and mutton. The people of Qin eat mainly chicken, duck and fish, with a small amount of mutton and beef as supplements.
If the Qin army improved their physique by eating meat, it would most likely lead to a situation where there was not enough meat.
Thinking of this, Mond turned to look at Zhao Hao: "Master, is there any way to solve the problem of meat?"
"There is a way, do you dare to execute it?"
Zhao Hao still had a smile on his face and asked lightly.
Mond looked weird and didn't rush to answer because he always felt something was wrong.
But Wang Li had a solemn expression: "As long as it can enhance the combat effectiveness of our army, there is nothing I, Wang Li, dare not do!"
"oh?"
Zhao Hao's eyes lit up, and then he looked at Wang Li with interest: "Then I dare to ask General Wang if he is willing to raise dolphins?"
"Raising dolphins?"
Wang Li's expression froze and he seemed to have no reaction.
The rest of the people also looked at Zhao Hao in disbelief.
They never expected that Zhao Hao would actually let Wang Li raise dolphins.
This dolphin is actually a pig.
Pigs in this era were cheap food, and nobles generally disdained to eat this kind of food.
Because dolphins live in dirty huts.
If a nobleman like Wang Li goes to raise pigs, he is afraid that Wang Ben will beat him to death when he comes back.
"No. Master, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Li came back from his daze and seemed to still not believe Zhao Hao's words, so he asked again.
Zhao Hao shrugged and said, "I have a dolphin-raising technology. If you are interested, we can jointly open a dolphin-raising factory. You provide the money, and I provide the technology. We will split the money 50-50, and we will not deceive anyone."
After saying that, he raised his hand and looked around at everyone: "If you are interested, you can also buy shares, and you will be paid according to the shares."
"this"
Everyone looked at each other, looking at each other.
This is not a question of money or not!
This is a matter of dignity, okay!
After all, we are also descendants of nobles. You want us to raise dolphins?
Can it still be fun?
Seeing that everyone's expressions were getting more and more resentful, Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly: "I know you can't accept it for a while, but let's not be in a hurry. One day I will make some delicious food for you, and you will know after you taste it!"
The reason why nobles in this era did not like to eat pork was not only because pork was despicable, but also because pork had a strong smell and was difficult to swallow.
Of course, for civilians, it’s good to have meat, and they don’t care whether the meat is expensive or not.
Zhao Hao didn't feel it was a pity that Wang Li and the others were not fooled into raising pigs. Anyway, they would understand what the Law of True Fragrance is in the future.
Since the success of papermaking, Zhang Cang has been very busy these days. He is either delivering paper to the First Emperor, the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, and the royal family. Anyway, he has basically delivered paper to all the Xianyang nobles.
I have to say that this guy really knows how to be a person and an official.
Just as Zhao Hao thought, his act of undressing the jade pendant as a 'paperweight' soon became a fashion among the Xianyang nobles, even the First Emperor.
This made Zhao Hao dumbfounded.
Thinking of those idiotic fans who imitated his 'idou' in his previous life, he finally understood.
"Father, do you have something to do with my son?"
Glancing at the jade pendant that Ying Zheng placed on the paper, Zhao Hao couldn't help but lower his head in laughter and asked cautiously.
While writing, Ying Zheng asked calmly: "We have successfully made paper. When will the national bond rolls be printed and distributed?"
"Well"
Zhao Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and said to himself that the First Emperor's concern for money really did not fall behind at all. He had just succeeded in making paper and was thinking about the national debt. He was really famous for his impatience.
"What? Is there a problem?"
"It's not a problem. It's just that the paper used in this national bond roll is a little different from the current paper. I guess we have to wait a while."
"Um."
Ying Zheng nodded, as if he had no intention of embarrassing Zhao Hao, and continued: "The young master has sent the paper to the place where it should be sent. I asked Zhao Gao to inquire today, and everyone seems to have a good opinion of the paper. What do you think? "
"Isn't this our opportunity? Let a small number of people use paper first, and then 'pull a string of action' and wait until scholars can afford paper, then replace bamboo slips."
"The problem of replacing the bamboo slips is not big. Now there is a problem that needs you to solve!"
"what is the problem?"
Zhao Hao tilted his head and looked at Ying Zheng doubtfully.
Ying Zheng raised his pen and raised his head and said calmly: "You said before that if papermaking is successful, a classic will not use much paper and can be carried with you. I will be on an eastward tour soon. How do you think we can solve it?"
"This is not easy, just print it into a thread-bound book!"
Zhao Hao said a little funny.
In his mind, this wasn't a problem at all.
But Ying Zheng frowned and looked at him confused.
"Okay, this thread-bound book is the same as the bamboo slips, both are fixed with ropes. The difference is that the bamboo slips are made of bamboo pieces connected in series, while the thread-bound books are bound!"
Zhao Hao said, fearing that Ying Zheng would not understand, he quickly stepped forward, picked up a few pieces of paper, folded them together and said: "Just like this, stack the cut papers one by one, punch holes on the edges, and use The rope is fixed, and when reading, you can open it page by page."
"I see."
Ying Zheng suddenly nodded: "You already had a solution, but I was worried too much."
"In fact, in addition to thread-bound books, like calligraphy and painting, you can also roll them up and make them into scrolls for preservation, such as pictures of beauties." Zhao Hao touched his nose and smiled.
"snort!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he snorted, and then he seemed to remember something and said with a smile: "This paper-making success has benefited the country and the people. In addition to the previous three-piece cavalry suit and the contribution to the country, I should reward you." What did you order?"
"reward?"
Zhao Hao had a playful expression on his face: "Why not 'reward'?"
"Because the prince doesn't grant rewards, he can only reward them."
Ying Zheng suppressed his smile and said calmly.
Zhao Hao actually also understood that if a prince was granted a reward, he would be either a king or a king. If the First Emperor granted him a reward, it would be equivalent to slapping the First Emperor in the face for not granting a reward to the royal family.
Therefore, it was impossible for the First Emperor to reward him unless there were special circumstances.
"Actually, I am not interested in rewards either."
Zhao Hao borrowed the donkey down the slope and said, "I like rewards more."
"Then what reward do you plan to ask for?"
Ying Zheng regained his smile and looked directly at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao said without thinking: "Can you let me build a mansion outside?"
"You want to open a mansion?"
Ying Zheng frowned.
"Okay, it's fine if you don't open a house, just give me the money!"
"Don't you have a way to make money? Are you asking me for money?"
"Okay, okay, it's okay if you don't give me money, just give me land!"
"Land? What do you want land for?"
"Then you can't give me nothing, right? If it doesn't work, give me some beauties from the palace!"
"Asshole!"
Ying Zheng was so angry with Zhao Hao that his blood pressure soared. He threw the pen in his hand and hit Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao narrowly avoided the brush, but he was still burned by a few drops of ink on his face. He couldn't help but screamed: "Hey, hey, it was my father who said the reward was given, why do you want to default on it again? You have no joke!"
"I'm not dead yet, and you dare to take advantage of the palace maid!?"
"The ones outside the palace are fine too..."
"The traitor——!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Zhao Gao heard the movement in the study and quickly ran in to comfort Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng originally wanted to scold Zhao Hao a few more words, but when he saw that his face looked like a tabby cat, he suddenly felt angry and funny. Finally, he waved his hands helplessly and said: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with the ministers again." , let’s see what I’ll reward you with.”
"Okay, okay! Don't be impatient, I just want a reward!"
Zhao Hao nodded fiercely and couldn't help but wipe his face, making the ink stains on his face even more smudged.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but glance at him, turned to Zhao Gao and said: "Give him a gauze to wipe it, it's not ridiculous at all!"
"promise."
Zhao Gao responded, not even daring to look at Zhao Hao, and quickly bowed and left.
Zhao Hao grinned in a funny way, then bent down to pick up the brush and carefully placed it on Ying Zheng's writing desk: "Father, I have something to ask you!"
"Just ask if you want, why is there so much nonsense!"
Ying Zheng said angrily.
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, then took two steps back and whispered: "My son, I would like to ask my father, is your uncle still alive?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his face darkened and he said coldly: "Who are you talking about?"
"Ying Chengyu!"
