Straight!

It is a military road, and Cai Chong dared not be careless. He could only build this road with the greatest ability, not only to be strong, but also to the shortest distance.

Unlike the road, if this vast mountain blocks it, you can take a detour, but the straight road cannot.

It is said that soldiers are the most important thing. Since they are military use, they naturally have to quickly reach Jiuyuan.

Although Cai Chong was in charge of Daqin Heavy Industry, during this period, he was just building the framework of Daqin Heavy Industry and then sorting out the major projects in the Daqin Empire.

He just just got to know the straight road, and what he really participated in was the Chidao.

After all, Cai Chong has not been involved in this matter for a long time, and most of his time is spent building the framework of Daqin Heavy Industry, and he has no time to participate in the straight road project.

The most important thing is that whether it is straight or chirop, there are currently special officials in charge. If he wants to participate, he needs a more appropriate time.

...

"Cai Chong, if you stop the three major roads and gather all your strength to build the straight road, will it be completed within one year?"

Ying Zheng's idea was different from that of ordinary people. He wanted to open up the straight path in one fell swoop. The threat of the surviving tribes of the six countries was far smaller than that of the Huns in the north.

Even though there were wars in the country, Ying Zheng was unwilling to be invaded by the Huns, and the people were living in poverty.

"Report to your Majesty, you can indeed speed it up, but I do not agree with doing so!"

Cai Chong nodded at Ying Zheng first, then shook his head: "Your Majesty now projects in various places, especially on the road, have entered the middle stage, and some have even reached the late stage."

"Once you go to the straight road, it will not only waste people and money, but also affect the mood of labor..."

"Under the situation of the Qin Empire, it will take five or six years for Your Majesty to calm the internal situation, and within this period of time, the straight road will inevitably be completed."

...

Cai Chong's father is Cai Ze, and he is also the young master of the Jiran family. He has the knowledge he should have.

He naturally knew that the frequent attempts of Emperor First Emperor wanted to suffocate the disputes on the Central Plains and suppress the remnants of the six countries, which was probably to resolve the Huns in the northern desert and the Nanyue.

"What you said makes sense, but the straight road must be cultivated in the shortest time. After all, it is only a thousand days to be a thief, so how can you defend against thieves for a thousand days?"

When Ying Zheng said this, he sighed to Cai Chong. For the Great Qin Empire, whether it was the Huns or the South Vietnam, they were all bandits who peeked at the Great Qin Empire.

For these bandits, you should kill them quickly!

"Cai Chong, how many great people do you think will be born in this national exam?"

Facing the First Emperor's inquiry, Cai Ze was also stunned. He naturally knew about the national exam.

During this period, the most talked about in the Qin Empire was the land reform and the national examinations conducted in Xianyang. Although the national examinations have not yet died, the storm caused by this policy is not small.

After all, whether it is land reform or national examination, it is a decision to break the routine of the Qin Empire, which is equivalent to digging for the aristocratic class.

Cai Chong was not only a minister of the Qin Dynasty, but also the young leader of the Jiran family, so he was naturally concerned about the national exam.

"The national examination is naturally beneficial to the Qin Empire. I will not hide it from His Majesty. This time, someone from Jiran's family also participated. Even if there are not a few hundred, there will be more than a dozen outstanding people."

Cai Ze knew in his heart that this national examination was not only an opportunity for the common people, but to a certain extent, it was also an opportunity for various schools of thought.

Although all kinds of schools of thought have been prosperous, they are only the people. In the court, only real talents, like Shang Yang, Zhang Zi and others, can be as good as fish in water.

The assessment and promotion systems before the Qin Empire were all for the service of the aristocratic class. It was difficult for various schools of thought to enter the official career.

During this national examination, the First Emperor issued an edict to the world that only talents are the only ones. Even if he can test his moral character, as long as he is a talented person, he will have the opportunity to make a name for himself.

It can be said that this is an opportunity, both for all schools of thought and the common people.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing Cai Ze's words, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said, "Your dear is too optimistic. It is a blessing for more than two thousand people to have two or three outstanding people."

"Although the Central Plains is large, it is easy to produce talents, but it is difficult to find talents. There may be nearly a hundred people suitable for entering the official career!"

Ying Zheng didn't have much hope for the national exam.

He knew in his heart that all schools of thought were prosperous and there were great talents among the common people, but these people did not mean that they were really suitable to enter the court.

This national exam will eventually be a big wave of sand, leaving only some gold shining.

...

"My dear, write a memorial to send it to Xianyang Palace for the detailed income and expenditure of Daqin Heavy Industry this year!"

"promise."

Daqin Heavy Industry does not have much advantage at this time, but the role of Daqin Heavy Industry in the future will inevitably be irreplaceable.

Even Ying Zheng once thought of using the Qin Heavy Industry to transition the Qin Empire to the next stage.

From the Bronze Age, completely transitioning to the Iron Age!

Although iron tools were already very common in this era, bronze tools were more common, which was closely related to the current situation of the Qin Dynasty. Although the Qin Dynasty's bronze technology reached its peak, change was imperative.

Bronzes are suitable for viewing, but not for combat. Bronze weapons at their peak may have certain advantages over early iron tools, but this slight advantage will be replaced in a very short time.

Ying Zheng knew better than anyone that in the future, bronze ware had been replaced, and until later, iron ware was the mainstream in this sky.

However, at this moment, the Great Qin is still at the peak of bronze and cannot extricate itself. Even the weapons in the hands of the Great Qin Ruishi are basically all bronze.

There is a historical reason for this!

But it must be changed!

Before the Qin Dynasty was unified, there were not many iron ore on the Qin territory. The number of people who wanted to equip the three armies to fight for the world was far from enough.

The most important thing is that at that time, the Great Qin Dynasty was obviously behind the Central Plains countries in iron smelting technology. Using the peak bronze technology was actually a helpless choice for the Great Qin Empire.

It is precisely based on considerations about this matter that Ying Zheng ordered Cai Chong to establish Daqin Heavy Industry as soon as possible, and Daqin today has the best craftsmanship of this era.

As long as Daqin Heavy Industry cooperates with Shanggongfang, it is only a matter of time before iron can replace bronzes.

Of course, this replacement problem requires a smooth transition, and it is not a good time at the moment.

"Cai Chong, I have high hopes for Daqin Heavy Industry!" After a deep look at Cai Chong, Ying Zheng said earnestly, "I hope Daqin Heavy Industry will become a gold-snatching beast."
