Industry determines the speed, scale and level of the economic growth of the Qin Empire, and plays a leading role in the economy of the Qin Empire.

Industry also provides raw materials, fuel and power for itself and other departments of the national economy, and provides industrial consumer goods for the material and cultural life of the Chinese people.

Similarly, it is also the main source of national fiscal revenue and the fundamental guarantee of national economic autonomy, political independence and national defense.

Promoting industrial development is something Ying Zheng has always wanted to do, so he founded Daqin Heavy Industry at the beginning and wanted to explore the way forward.

But Ying Zheng was a little overthinking. In this era, there was almost no heavy industry, and most of them were light industry mainly based on handicrafts.

If you want to promote industrial development, you must not be hungry for the people of the country. Therefore, land reform is almost the only choice for Ying Zheng.

Especially the emergence of heavy industries such as coal will have a huge boost to things in the world, thereby achieving changes and bringing earth-shaking changes to the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, he had just taken the first step on the road of thousands of miles, and the first step was not completed.

"Your Majesty, the food is ready. Please use it. It will be bad if it becomes cold in a while!" Zhao Gao personally brought the food and gently placed it on Ying Zheng's desk.

At this moment, when he thought of the problem of the First Emperor, he couldn't help but remind him that he knew that the First Emperor would think about things and the food would be cold.

"I understand!"

...

A quarter of an hour later, Ying Zheng put down his chopsticks with satisfaction. The food in this era was not delicious, but this was definitely not included in the Qin Emperor Palace.

Although he got many famous dishes from Li Kang's memory, he was not disgusted with the food in the court, after all, he had eaten for most of his life.

Seeing Ying Zheng put down his chopsticks, at this moment, no matter who was eating or not eating, all the people who put down the chopsticks in their hands at this moment.

Seeing that there was still food on their long table, Ying Zheng whispered, "You don't have to care about me. Food is the most important thing for the people. I let Zhao Gaoshang's food be prepared according to the standards of my appetite."

"My dear friends, if it's not enough, you can continue to add it, but it's best not to waste too much. After all, in the current Daqin, there are many places where the Chinese people cannot eat..."

"Frugality is very necessary in the Qin court..."

At this moment, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, and passed by the ministers present, and his tone became inexplicable: "I once heard a saying among the people: The rich family smells of wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death!"

...

"I am hereby ordered!"

Ying Zheng suddenly spoke, which shocked the ministers. The words "The rich man's wine and meat smelled like meat and bones were frozen to death on the road, which shocked their hearts and a stream of cold air couldn't help but emerge.

At this time, they didn't care about thinking too much. After answering, they quickly started to liquidate the market.

All the people present were important officials of the Qin Dynasty. They naturally had some understanding of the saying that the rich people in Ying Zheng's words were smelly of wine and meat, and that the road was frozen to death.

The military families and old clans for hundreds of years have accumulated too many advantages in the process of unification of the Qin Empire and have lived a very luxurious life.

The Qin Empire has a lot of labor service and taxes, which is very similar to the people's miserable life. Although this phenomenon has been alleviated with various policy edicts from the First Emperor.
