Leaving the Imperial College Laboratory, Zhao Hao staggered towards the Shaofu.
Although Lao Zhang has not yet gone to court, it has become a habit of Zhao Hao to go to the spot early.
When I first became acquainted with Zhang Cang, on the one hand, I was interested in Zhang Cang's identity as the young master, and on the other hand, the old man knew current affairs.
Generally, it is difficult for court ministers like Linghu Fan and Yao Jia to treat Zhao Hao like Zhang Cang.
Therefore, Zhao Hao was particularly fond of Zhang Cang.
It didn't take long for Zhao Hao to arrive at the young master's living room.
As if they were used to Zhao Hao's arrival, the officials of the Shaofu just bowed respectfully and went about their own business.
About half an hour later, Zhao Hao heard the faint sound of conversation outside, so he walked out of the living room and greeted: "Master Zhang, long time no see!"
"Hehehe, young master is joking, didn't we meet yesterday?"
When Zhang Cang saw Zhao Hao, he smiled heartily, then waved his hand to the official beside him, and then came to Zhao Hao's side in three steps and two steps at a time.
Zhao Hao looked at him with a smile, and then said, "Have you ever heard of the saying 'A day without seeing each other is like three autumns apart', Mr. Zhang?"
"Hahaha, you are a great talent, come and invite me inside!"
"No, let's go for a walk in the woods. I just sat there for half an hour!"
"That's it, sorry for the poor reception."
Zhang Cang suddenly nodded and prepared to give Zhao Hao a polite salute.
"Okay, let's stop being polite!"
Zhao Hao smiled and waved his hand, then walked straight towards the woods.
I have to say that the courtyards of ancient government offices were really big.
There are not only office buildings, but also pavilions, trees, and pools and gardens.
Zhao Hao felt comfortable walking in the yard. Zhang Cang couldn't figure out the young master's purpose, so he stayed with him silently, stopping and walking.
"Actually, I came to Mr. Zhang's Mansion this time to trouble you with something!"
"It's a coincidence. I also have something to see the young master!"
"Um?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and thought to himself that this old guy was really calm. If he didn't speak, he would never speak. As soon as he spoke, he would say that he had something to do with him.
My feelings were wandering around with me just now, are they waiting for me here?
Feeling a little dumbfounded in his heart, Zhao Hao couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead and asked helplessly: "I wonder if Mr. Zhang has anything to do with me?"
"Sir, do you still remember the waterwheel and the plow?"
Zhang Cang asked with a smile.
Zhao Hao was speechless and frowned: "This is a farming artifact I designed to increase production in Guizhou Province of the Great Qin Dynasty. How could I not remember it?"
"Yes, thanks to Young Master, this year will be a good harvest for our country in Great Qin!"
"Isn't a good harvest a good thing? What's wrong? There are not enough waterwheels and plows?"
"If there are not enough waterwheels and plows, I still have a way to solve it. Now there is too much food, and I am worried about harvesting."
Zhang Cang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"What's there to worry about? Can't we just arrange more people to take care of it and we'll be done with it?"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and thought to himself, are you guys cheap? When there is not enough food, you worry. When there is too much food, do you still worry?
Why, ask me to get some grain seeds, no more, no less?
Isn’t this nonsense? !
Seeing that Zhao Hao's eyelids were about to roll up to the sky, Zhang Cang stroked his beard in embarrassment, and then continued: "Young Master, to be honest, when I went to court just now, I heard someone from Qin Tianjian say that after a while, It’s going to rain heavily, and I’m afraid I’ll be hit by the rain before the food is collected.”
"Can Qin Tianjian also predict the weather?"
Zhao Hao twitched the corner of his mouth, glared at Zhang Cang angrily, waved his hand and said: "Don't believe him, just accept it as usual!"
He didn't believe that a group of skywatchers could predict the weather accurately.
In later generations, predictions of so many high-tech equipment were sometimes wrong, let alone ancient times when there was none.
"But."
Zhang Cang hesitated and said: "What if the Qintian Supervisor has spotted it correctly?"
"What just in case? Let me tell you, there is no such thing as a chance. Can someone like Qin Tianjian use his eyes to predict the weather accurately?"
"this"
"Hey, that's it!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand impatiently: "What do you want to do?"
"Well, since you are such a young master, I was wondering if there is any way for you to harvest food quickly?"
Seeing that Zhao Hao didn't have the patience to listen to his explanation of Qin Tianjian's past, Zhang Cang directly threw out his request.
After Zhao Hao heard his request, he was immediately stunned: "Quickly harvest food?"
"Yes, it means harvesting food faster than before and minimizing the losses to Guizhou and the imperial court."
"this."
"What? Is it difficult?"
Zhao Hao: "It's not difficult at all. Let me think about it."
Zhang Cang: "Okay, no problem. Then why did the young master come to see me?"
"Hey, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me!"
When Zhao Hao heard this, he slapped his forehead and said as if he was remembering something: "It's like this. Song Hong needs a few craftsmen who can make porcelain. You can arrange a few for him!"
"Okay, no problem, I'll make arrangements now!"
Zhang Cang responded readily and prepared to turn around and leave the woods.
Zhao Hao saw this and quickly stopped him: "Wait!"
"Master, what else can you do?"
Zhang Cang paused and looked at Zhao Hao with confusion on his face.
Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and said tentatively: "Today, the old prime minister is presiding over the court meeting. Did you mention the matter of Datian Order?"
"How could I not mention that Datian Ling is an important official in the imperial court and is responsible for farming!"
Zhang Cang said with a straight face.
"So what?"
Zhao Hao said sternly: "Old Zhang, I have thought about it in the past few days. Maybe my father trusted them too much, which made them become lawless."
"Do you think His Majesty doesn't know about them? Do you think His Majesty doesn't want to clean up these scum in the court, but if you kill them all, what will happen to the court? The officials of the Qin Dynasty are gone from ten to seventy-eight, who will handle the political affairs? It depends on you, young master, or this old man. ?”
"But."
"But what?"
Zhang Cang looked solemn.
Originally, Zhao Hao did not mention this matter, and he was not prepared to intervene in it. Now that Zhao Hao mentioned it in front of him, it was necessary for him to explain the pros and cons to Zhao Hao clearly.
But he heard him say again: "If the master has officials to deal with political affairs, it doesn't need to be too many, just half of the current number. I guarantee that your majesty will definitely deal with them when he comes back, but do you have any?"
"I"
Zhao Hao opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Zhang Cang sighed helplessly and said: "The old prime minister has already informed His Majesty about this matter, so just leave it alone and wait for Your Majesty to make a decision."
"I'm afraid I can't wait any longer."
"how?"
"A few days ago, Qiong brought news that the person behind Da Tian Ling asked me to let Da Tian Ling go regardless of the previous suspicion. However, I didn't want to let him go, so I asked Chen Ping to deal with it."
Zhao Hao said with some embarrassment.
When Zhang Cang heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but ask, "How to deal with it?"
Zhao Haosan smiled and touched his nose, and whispered: "Just use some means to make Datian Ling and Ying Hao kill each other and transfer the conflict to the Ying Qin clan."
"Ah? This"
Zhang Cang looked surprised: "This boy is very clever!"
"It is indeed a good method, but I think he may have other methods."
"What's the meaning."
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "Although Chen Ping is mine, I don't want to interfere with his plan. No matter what he plans, he will not harm me."
Hearing this, Zhang Cang frowned and was speechless for a while.
Deep in his heart, Zhao Hao's actions were definitely a sign of political unqualification.
As the most valued prince of the First Emperor, it is obvious what political failure means.
But analyzed from another perspective, Zhang Cang was extremely pleased with Zhao Hao's acting style.
The First Emperor did not make Fusu the crown prince because of Fusu's words and deeds. Although he could be considered a benevolent monarch, he was too weak and did not have the domineering power a monarch should have.
This makes it easy to be swayed by people with ulterior motives.
Especially when politics is immature, it will harm the country and the people.
On the other hand, Zhao Hao not only acted decisively, was thoughtful, knew people well and was good at assigning tasks, but also greatly satisfied the First Emperor.
Therefore, compared to Fusu, Zhao Hao had a better chance of being appointed as the crown prince by the First Emperor.
But it cannot be said that Zhao Hao will be 100% appointed as the crown prince by the First Emperor, because Zhao Hao has obvious advantages and obvious shortcomings.
Everything can only be observed slowly by the First Emperor.
"Since the young master has handed over the matter to Director Chen, let's forget it. Anyway, those two losers will be dead if they die. The people behind the Datian Order will not fall out with the clan because of him."
Zhang Cang said thoughtfully.
Zhao Hao's heart moved and he asked curiously: "Do you know who is behind him?"
"I know, but I can't say it!"
"Why are you all so mysterious? It makes me a little unhappy."
"hehe."
Zhang Cang smiled noncommittally: "You will know later. I will go and arrange the matters assigned by the young master first. I will also trouble the young master with my affairs!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the forest.
"Hello"
Seeing Zhang Cang leave immediately without stopping to say hello, Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel a toothache and wondered: "Why is this happening? Who is it!?"
On the other side, inside Xianyang City.
Han Sheng and Ding Si were discussing the matter of public toilets in Xianyang.
"Ding Si, how is the location of the public toilet going? When will the manpower be available?"
Han Sheng took a copy of the latest planning map and asked Ding Si while checking the streets.
"Back to Director Han, the site selection is almost in progress. Almost all the houses in Guizhou have been bought, and we are just waiting for them to move!"
Ding Si quickly handed over his hand and replied with a smile: "In addition, the recruitment may be a little slower. It will take two days to be in place, and"
"And what?"
"And the wages may be higher."
"It doesn't matter!"
Han Sheng smiled and shook his head: "Master, what you want is speed, it doesn't hurt to spend more money."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed to a certain corner house on the drawing, and said: "Young master sent me to deal with this matter with you because of your trust in us. Once it is done, the benefits will be yours!"
"Yes, yes, Director Han said that the villain must do his best for the young master!"
"Okay, if you see this area, buy the houses in this area and clear out an open space. From now on, this place will be called Heroes' Square!"
"Heroes Square?"
Ding Si was startled and couldn't help but said: "Director Han, don't you want to build a public toilet? Why build a square? You can't poop or pee, nor can you plant flowers or trees. What's the point of building this thing?"
"What do you know! This square will be of great use in the future!"
Han Sheng said sternly, "Young Master said, while the Qin leaders in Guizhou must meet their material needs, they must also meet their spiritual needs. Only when they are happy can they be motivated!"
"Not only does Xianyang have a Heroes' Square, but every city in Da Qin from now on must have one!"
"this"
Ding Si was speechless, not knowing what to say.
In fact, Zhao Hao feels that the current publicity is not enough, and plans to set up a stage in the square in the future, rehearse the troupe, perform here, and advocate everyone to be civilized, establish new trends, and create a beautiful home together.
Of course, the so-called Heroes' Square is naturally related to heroes. In the future, generals who have won military exploits after returning from the army can also come here to hold hero commendation meetings.
"Okay, these are the master's arrangements, let's just follow them and don't ask so many questions!"
Seeing that Ding Si was silent, Han Sheng didn't bother to explain to him and directly handed him the drawings and asked him to construct according to the drawings.
Just like that, in the next half month, Xianyang City began to undergo staggering changes.
First, many private houses were demolished one by one, clearing out a huge square. The streets of the square were all paved with stone slabs, and a stage had been set up in the innermost position.
Several large billboards were also set up around the square using wooden frames.
Although it's still empty at the moment, it could be a way to make money in the future.
In addition, many sculptures, flowers, trees and other decorations are also planned around the square and in the center.
Although it is not yet open to the public, many savvy businessmen have begun to contact Xiao He and prepare to set up stalls around the square.
Xiao He is also happy to see the results. There is not much to do in the Commerce Bureau now. It is rare to have a few courageous and flexible businessmen willing to stand up.
In this regard, Xiao He not only held a bidding meeting at Zhao Hao's suggestion, but also asked Han Xin to train an urban management team to protect these small businessmen and hawkers from being bullied by local ruffians.
Unified landscape trees have also been planted on both sides of the street, giving Xianyang City a completely new look.
The most important thing is the public toilets in Xianyang City. At present, they are almost there. There is a public toilet every 250 feet.
In the public toilets, there is a newly installed toilet director who is responsible for managing the public toilets and preventing Guizhou leaders from dumping excrement buckets at will.
In addition, a space has been reserved behind the public toilets for unified dumping and collection.
If someone is found to be disobeying the rules, just ask the disobedient person to carry a wooden sign with the word "dung beetle" in the public toilets. The wooden sign will not be taken off until the next person who violates the rules is found.
Although this rule will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some people in Guizhou, the toilet lottery activity has made most people accept this rule.
Therefore, for the few dissatisfied Guizhou leaders, Zhao Hao's method was simple and crude, directly suppressing them.
Because of this, the people from the Six Nations and foreign businessmen who poured into Xianyang became much more honest in a short period of time.
Officials in Xianyang City were happy to see the success.
It can be said that not only the head of Xianyang Guizhou is satisfied with the current Xianyang City, but also the officials in Xianyang City.
Just changing the sanitary conditions has greatly improved the quality of life of urban residents without unduly disturbing the people or spending too much manpower, material and financial resources.
Xianyang may be the first metropolis in the world to gradually modernize due to toilet use.
