The book says: When it prospers, the people suffer; when it perishes, the people suffer.
exactly.
In one of the most prosperous times in history, there were natural and man-made disasters that resulted in countless refugees, not to mention the Warring States Period, an era full of warriors and horses, swords and swords.
People are worse than dogs!
Although Ying Gao has the heart to be a hegemon, the trace of compassion in his heart has not been completely wiped out.
In later generations, although Ying Gao was not rich at that time, he would donate money when he heard about earthquakes and floods. Even if he saw crowdfunding for sick people in the circle of friends, he would silently forward it, and at the same time he would donate hundreds and eighty yuan.
money.
"Ma Xing, in the name of the county governor, summons craftsmen from Sanchuan County. The labor will be settled at a price higher than the market price. They must arrive at the capital camp of Jingxian County within five days."
After hearing Ma Xing's words, Ying Gao made a decision in his heart.
No matter what, he wants to do something for the people of this world, at least in Sanchuan County, so that he will not be left to eat.
When you serve as an official, you should benefit one party.
As the governor of Sanchuan County, Ying Gao has this responsibility.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Ma was so excited that he swallowed the words without speaking. These things did not affect the overall situation. As a retainer, he would naturally not object.
"Ma Xing, after I leave, the government affairs of Sanchuan County will be handed over to you!"
After drinking a cup of Jian Nanchun, Ying Gao felt a wave of heat emanating from his throat and quickly sweeping through his body: "Starting tomorrow, I will go to Jing County and sit among the army."
"By the way, let's get familiar with the army. In the spring of next year, our army will have a big war..."
Hearing this, Ma Xingshun immediately understood. He knew in his heart that Ying Gao also wanted to participate in the war in the coming spring. As soon as he thought about it, he quickly said: "Don't worry, sir, with my subordinates here, Sanchuan County will be safe."
nothing!"
The Qin Dynasty built its country by force, and military exploits were extremely important for a person. Since he followed Ying Gao, he naturally hoped that Ying Gao would make great achievements and go higher and further.
"Sir, I am very relieved!"
Ying Gao has been running around all this time, and Ma Xing has always been in charge of government affairs in Sanchuan County. Naturally, Ying Gao will not worry about any accidents that may happen when he goes to the Jing County camp this time.
However, he is the governor of Sanchuan County, so this is his responsibility.
"Let's go back!"
"promise."
He raised his head and glanced at Ma Xing's leaving figure, and Ying Gao's faint voice came out: "Sanchuan University must also pay close attention to that aspect and don't relax."
........
Sanchuan University is planning for the future. Although it does not stop at becoming as strong as it is now, it must not relax!
In a sense, Sanchuan University's help to Ying Gao is far beyond what a large army can match, but at the moment, the Python Army is the focus.
This time, Da Qin's military training is where he shines.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ying Gao took a sip of rice wine and looked at the burning charcoal fire. The light deep in his eyes was more powerful than the charcoal fire at this moment.
Zhengzhou Coal Mine will be the focus of Ying Gao's trip.
Thirty thousand troops, coupled with absenteeism, will inevitably dig out the coal as soon as possible. With the craftsmen in Da Qin, it is not a problem to distinguish anthracite coal from the rest of the bituminous coal.
And whether it is bituminous coal or anthracite coal, if the pipe is connected, the heating effect is guaranteed to be roughly the same.
It's just that bituminous coal causes serious pollution.
A little carelessness can put your life in danger.
...........
In this era, especially in the Qin Dynasty, bronze technology reached its peak.
After all, in history, the warriors of the Qin Dynasty held bronze weapons and defeated the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, which mainly used iron weapons. However, in this era, bronze was not cheap.
During the Warring States Period, mineral deposits that could be used to create weapons were naturally extremely important.
Thoughts flickered in his mind, and Ying Gao knew clearly that he could only use iron. In the Central Plains, iron ore was generally used to smelt iron directly. The early method was to smelt iron in lumps, and later to use shaft furnaces.
In the late Spring and Autumn Period, liquid pig iron for casting was refined, cast into ironware, and used in production, and the cast iron softening technology was invented. The iron smelting industry flourished during the Warring States Period, and the iron products produced were mainly agricultural tools and hand tools, and weapons were
Bronze, steel, and iron.
According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas·Wuzangshan Jing", there are 37 iron-producing mountains.
However, this is not within the scope of Sanchuan County, so we can only look forward to it and sigh. What's more, the important thing for Da Qin now is not to develop internal affairs, but to carry out a war to destroy the country.
Even if he reported the iron mine matter, he would not take it seriously. After all, he knew that the ambitious Qin Wangzheng would start a war against Korea after this military training.
Ying Gao knew better that the current King of Han was no match for the Qin Dynasty. As the smallest party among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, South Korea only had one Yingchuan County and half of Nanyang County left.
Especially after he conquered Xinzheng once, the prestige of King Han continued to decline. Otherwise, King Zhao would not be ambitious and wanted to annex the three Jin lands.
Moreover, Ying Gao also wanted to take part in this war, but he knew that the future Datong would be in Yanmen County, which was too far away from him now.
He could only set his target in Zhengzhou, centered on the coal mines around Zhengzhou, and the closest iron ore mining area to Xinzheng was later around Yinxu in Hanoi County.
That is Anyang in later generations. Apart from this, the only choice is Handan. Instead of taking Handan, it is better to take Hanoi in one fell swoop.
After all, the Wei State was once the overlord, but the sun has already set. At this time, the Wei State no longer has much fighting power, and is far inferior to the Zhao State.
The most important thing is that Yinxu is the iron mining area closest to Sanchuan County.
Because of this, Ying Gao was ready to make a move at this moment.
…
"Jing Yu has met the young master!"
Jing Yu walked into the study, bowed solemnly to Ying Gao, and said.
"Sit, sit in front of the charcoal fire!"
Waving his hand, Ying Gao signaled: "It's snowing so heavily and I bother you to come here because I have something to explain..."
"Sir, please tell me!"
Glancing at Jing Yu, Ying Gao said, "I plan to go to the capital camp of Jingxian County. You ask the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce to collect various medicinal materials for sharpening Qi and blood, and at the same time be responsible for the spring enrollment."
"In this vast and heavy snow, I am still idle. Among the major county schools and county schools in Sanchuan County, the age limit for the students to be admitted, as well as the admission requirements, are all on the parchment on the long table."
"The various schools in Sanchuan County cannot teach for free, unless the descendants of the soldiers who died following me enroll in the school, they must charge a certain fee."
"The specific fee shouldn't be too high, but it shouldn't be too low either. Words don't spread lightly. They will only certify it after paying the money."
