Dunruo immediately sent someone to report what happened in Kongli to Xianyang.
After Li Si received the report, he immediately found Ying Zheng.
At this time, in Yingzheng's study, Li Sizheng reported to Yingzheng with a solemn expression.
After Ying Zheng heard this, he was silent for a while, and then he sneered and said, "After Confucius died, did he know that I would dig his grave?
So, after my death, Great Qin will also be finished? Die in the second generation? "
"Your Majesty, I believe that, regardless of whether it is true or not, this matter involves your Majesty and the fate of the country, so it should be kept strictly confidential!"
Li Si said worriedly.
"Hahaha!"
When Ying Zheng heard Li Si's words, he couldn't help but laugh loudly, then shook his head and said: "How come Wei Ting has become so pedantic? People say that I, the Second Emperor of Qin Dynasty, died, just to let the world know;
If you don’t speak out, won’t others speak out? "
"But....."
"Nothing to worry about!"
Li Si wanted to persuade Ying Zheng a few more words, but was interrupted by Ying Zheng solemnly: "Keeping secrets strictly is no different from hiding one's ears and stealing the bell. I still don't believe it. How much trouble can a group of rats and dogs steal!"
Hearing this, Li Si sighed in his heart and said with some confusion: "The theory of gods and ghosts has always been deeply respected by the people. Sometimes it's hard to explain..."
"It's just pretending, what's not to say?"
Ying Zheng sneered and said, "This is obvious at a glance. If Tingwei doesn't believe it, how about I give you a prediction? In a few days, the news that Zulong will die this year will spread throughout the world!"
"Um?"
Li Si was surprised and raised his head suddenly.
Ying Zheng glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Ting Wei doesn't believe it? Maybe after next year, it will become the next year when Zulong dies!"
"Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense..."
Li Si was so stunned by what Ying Zheng said that he quickly stopped him.
Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal Li Si to calm down, then shook his head and said: "How dare you show off such a small skill in front of me? The remnants of the Six Kingdoms have very limited skills!"
After saying this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Compared to the treacherous words Zhao Hao said, these prophecies are nothing like shit!
Still want to make me angry?
Will I be angry?
Not only will I not be angry, I also want to eat a bowl of instant noodles!
Well, instant noodles taste really good...
But what surprised Li Si was that Ying Zheng really got it right. He strictly ordered Dunruo to keep the secret secret, and even sealed off the county where Kong Li was located for three months.
However, before three days passed, counties and counties from all over the country came to report, saying that folk rumors were spreading, some of which were predicted by mountain ghosts that the ancestor dragon would die next year, and some of which were about the appearance of the water god and the death of Qin Hao.
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
How is the result? If you are too serious, you will let those remnants of the Six Nations take advantage of you! "
Hearing this, Li Si was filled with indignation: "These shameless people! They should be severely punished according to law!"
"I understand that you are angry, but these shameless people are hiding in the dark. How can you find them? Last time we killed so many people, what was the result? Not even half a month later, they popped out again!"
After saying this, Ying Zheng's expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "You don't have to pay attention to them anymore, Ting Wei! A bunch of clowns can't destroy our Daqin. As long as we are united, I will watch it even if I die." Wait, who will destroy our Great Qin!"
"His Majesty...."
When Li Si heard this, his eyes instantly turned red. He was really convinced by the First Emperor now.
He also understands what it means to truly defeat all laws with force, and what it means to confuse the gods with unexplained power.
But something happened one after another, which almost broke a hole in Qin's sky.
On this day, Dunruo returned to Xianyang in person and brought back Hou Sheng, who had escaped, and a shocking bamboo slip!
...
At the same time, Zhao Hao, who was oblivious to what was going on outside the window and was only focused on burning cement, was stepping up his efforts to bake cement.
Of course, it’s the craftsmen who do the real work.
He is mainly responsible for technical support, as well as sitting on the Taishi chair, eating melon seeds and basking in the sun.
At this moment, Zhang Cang came from a distance, smiled and said to him, "Master, the kiln has been loaded. It is only appropriate that the first fire should be lit by Master!"
"Oh? It's installed so quickly? Let's burn it quickly! My brothers are waiting impatiently!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao stood up from his chair and waved to Zhang Cang.
Although there are VIP rooms in the prison of Tingwei Mansion, it is not a problem to always have prison food.
After all, it’s really hard to live a life without a drop of oil in the dish with two steamed buns in hand.
Soon, Zhao Hao arrived in front of the lime kiln.
Just as he was about to light a fire, he suddenly discovered that it was filled with wood.
"Sir, please light a fire."
Zhang Cang saw Zhao Hao standing still and reminded him with a smile.
Zhao Hao held up the torch, frowned, then shook his head, pointed at the wood and asked, "Why use wood for burning? Why not use coal?"
coal?
Zhang Cang was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Zhao Hao was talking about, and turned to look at the craftsmen.
But I saw that all the craftsmen were also confused and looked at each other.
"What, you don't know about coal?"
Zhao Hao glanced at everyone suspiciously.
Zhang Cang raised his hands curiously: "May I ask, Sir, what is coal?"
"Well...."
Zhao Hao's lips twitched, thinking that he really didn't know, so he explained directly: "It is a black, stone-like thing, some are mined underground, and some are mined in the mountains, just like mining lime mines;
….
This kind of thing can be ignited, burns better than wood, and is more resistant to burning! "
"..."
After hearing Zhao Hao's explanation, the craftsmen whispered. After a while, someone suddenly asked loudly: "Sir, are you talking about charcoal?"
"Carbon?"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then realized and said with a smile: "Yes! It's charcoal!"
Another name for coal is coal, but it’s called differently.
After receiving Zhao Hao's affirmation, Zhang Cang quickly asked the speaker: "Do you know where there is coal?"
"Back at the Young Mansion, I don't know where there is coal, I just heard someone mention it!"
"Have you heard anyone mention it?"
Zhao Hao frowned: "Is there no coal in Xianyang City?"
"No?"
"Then what is burned when forging weapons?"
"Back to you, sir, we usually burn charcoal!"
"this...."
Zhao Hao was speechless.
It turns out that no one uses coal in this era!
But it is impossible without coal. In addition to lime, the raw material for making cement is coal ash.
Therefore, coal must be used.
This is not something that burning wood can replace.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao's hometown in his previous life was not far from Xianyang, and he knew where there were coal mines around Xianyang.
Moreover, his uncle's second uncle works in a coal mining company.
According to him, the best coal mine around Xianyang is the Coal Mine in Juyi County.
The Coal Mine in Juyi County is an exogenous mineral deposit. Although it is not as good as those truly large mines, in terms of storage capacity and ease of mining, it is definitely the best choice at the moment.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao's eyes flashed with light, and he said in his heart that I deserved to make money.
Since no one is burning coal in this era, then I might as well buy a few mines...
This is not a long-term business like opening a medical clinic, this is a business for the nouveau riche!
Not to mention that Da Qin does all the mining business by itself, even these few mines are enough to feed and drink for future generations.
That's really a matter of relying on the mountain and eating the mountain...
"Snapped!"
Zhao Hao came to his senses and threw away the torch in his hand. The craftsmen around him were confused and did not dare to ask.
In the end, Zhang Cang bravely stepped forward, bowed and said, "Master, what do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything, it just can't be burned with wood!"
Zhao Hao shook his head and curled his lips and said, "Not to mention the slow burning, the quality of the cement produced is not good either. I'm afraid it won't meet the requirements for building Zhaoyang Palace!"
"Huh? What should we do?"
Zhang Cang suddenly panicked after hearing this.
When he thought about it, if he couldn't burn wood, he would have to burn charcoal, which would only be more expensive. However, Zhao Hao made it very clear that he could only use pebbles for burning, but there was no pebbles in Xianyang. Could it be that he would not burn without pebbles?
Seeing Zhang Cang's bitter expression, Zhao Hao looked at him calmly: "I'll find a solution!"
As he said that, he looked around at the craftsmen and said, "You've worked hard today. Let's go down to eat. I'll wait until I figure out a solution!"
"this...."
The craftsmen looked at each other, looking at each other.
Although they were very confused about Zhao Hao's behavior and even made a fuss in front of Zhao Hao, when they heard the word "eat", they remembered Zhao Hao's kindness to them, so they didn't bother to pay more attention.
After all, eating is the main point.
….
Some people even skip eating the morning meal in order to have a free meal, waiting to eat this meal, and then don't eat again when they get home, and only eat one meal a day.
Looking at the bustling scene in the cafeteria, Zhang Cang felt very unhappy even though the food he was eating was not his.
The young master now has some money and just squanders it like this. I don't know how much he will lose in the future. If he becomes the emperor, I am afraid that he will have to cry, make trouble, and hang himself in order to govern the country.
Thinking of Zhi Su Nei Shi, he thought of that shameless old enemy, Linghu Fan.
Lao Fan was living a prosperous life during this period and had no worries about money and food.
Because a series of money-making methods devised by the First Emperor were all contracted by him.
It made him, a government official who specialized in helping the First Emperor make money, to be raised by his stepmother, which made him feel very aggrieved.
However, if you follow the young master, you will still have meat to eat. As long as the paper mill and cement factory are built, it will not mean that you will be rich.
Eat, eat, until you are exhausted, you will count as one!
Seeing the craftsmen transforming into rice-drying machines and eating big mouthfuls of food, Zhang Cang cursed in his heart for a while, and then looked at Zhao Hao: "Sir, have you heard about the recent events?"
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Hao was thinking about how to hide the mine purchase from the First Emperor, when he was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Cang, who asked with a somewhat unhappy expression.
Zhang Cang replied cautiously: "It's just a matter of rumors..."
"The teacher told me, don't worry about things that shouldn't be done, and just do your own thing!"
"Don't blame me, sir, it was the veteran who was rude..."
"It doesn't matter, I'll go back to the palace first and leave the affairs here to you."
Zhao Hao waved his hand and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a palace attendant running from a distance. He saluted the two of them hurriedly, and then said quickly: "Young Master, Your Majesty is thundering and raging in the Qilin Palace. The old prime minister ordered the servants to come and ask the Young Master to hurry up." Go back to the palace!"
