Focusing on economic development, it has become a recognized national policy by the senior officials of the Qin Dynasty. It is just because of some problems that Ying Zheng did not report to the court and the opposition.

However, the important officials such as Li Si had already known in their hearts that the reason why Ying Zheng hid was not to report to the court and the public at the first time was probably because the revision of the Jinbu Law had not been improved.

It was precisely the understanding of this that made Li Si and others feel more stressed. They knew in their hearts that Ying Zheng had decided to change the national policy of the Great Qin and focus on economic development from then on.

If they cannot meet Ying Zheng's requirements, they will not be qualified to stay in the Xianyang Palace Hall.

In other words, the Qin Empire never needed waste food. There were many talents in the world. If they did not do anything, they would inevitably be replaced by others.

Therefore, whether it was Li Si, Zheng Guo and others, they attached great importance to the amendment of the Jinbu Law. They all knew that economic construction was the core of the Qin Empire.

Many things need to make way for this.

The next day.

Ying Zheng woke up from the dormitory. He didn't understand and didn't care about the emotional changes of Li Si and others. All he wanted was to let them loyally implement his strategy.

To calm the people's hearts, then point your sword at the various schools of thought to prepare for the next war.

Ying Zheng knew in his heart that if he wanted to prepare for the war, he not only needed internal stability, but also needed a lot of money and food to support the army to maintain the operation of the war machine of the Great Qin Empire.

This requires the Qin Dynasty to accumulate national strength.

Accumulating national strength is not only a change in grain seeds, but also a change in the system. It is promoted from light industry, commerce, agriculture and other aspects. Only in this way can the Qin Empire support a war.

Ying Zheng knew about this from the beginning, but it was extremely difficult to do this.

In history, the only one who achieved national prosperity was the Sui Dynasty, but the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty received institutional dividends, which was incomparable to the Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, the Great Qin Empire has just been established. Although the Qin Empire was suitable for the current Great Qin Empire, it did not fit and needed further optimization.

Ying Zheng knew that if the Qin Empire wanted to accumulate strength and then prepare for the next war, it needed to improve it from both hard power and soft power.

For example, using the development of iron smelting technology, the Qin Ruishi then prompted the Qin Dynasty to change clothes and replace bronze weapons with iron weapons, or in other words, optimize the grain species so that the Qin Dynasty can have no worries about food and clothing.

For the Great Qin Empire, all this is necessary, and even the importance of breakthrough in iron smelting technology is far above optimizing grain species. After all, the replacement of soldiers of the Great Qin Empire and the agricultural tools require breakthroughs in iron smelting technology.

Of course, this also requires finding one or two large iron ore veins, and then completely solving the internal needs of the Qin Empire, laying the foundation for the next development of the Qin Empire towards the industrial revolution.

"Your Majesty, our people have heard news that the scout found the iron ore vein that His Majesty said in Liangzhou where General Zhang Han was stationed, and the same Bashu also found the iron ore vein that His Majesty said."

Chen Ping walked into the study of Xianyang Palace, bowed to Ying Zheng solemnly, and said, "Now, the Shaofu Office has sent craftsmen to take over, and then recruited people to start drawing and mining."

"I believe that in a short time, Daqin will not lack iron ore veins."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng pondered for a long time, and gave a decisive order to Chen Ping, saying: "Transfer the imperial edict, Zheng State, Li Si and Wang Wan and others entered the study room of Xianyang Palace!"

"promise."

Nodded and agreed, Chen Ping turned around and left.

Looking at Chen Ping's departure, a solemnity flashed through Ying Zheng's eyes. He knew in his heart that whether it was Dazhang or Liangzhou's iron ore veins, the distance from Xianyang was very far.

This means that if you want to run iron ore, you need to build a large-scale road.

Now Daqin has cement and red bricks, and has also found the method of refining asphalt and the largest asphalt vein in Bashu. It only takes forged steel bars to build a large number of roads in a short period of time.

"My minister Li Si, Zheng State, Wang Wan pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years, and the Qin for ten thousand years--!" After a while, Wang Wan and others walked into the study of Xianyang Palace, bowed solemnly towards Ying Zheng, and said.

"Um!"

Nodded slightly, Ying Zheng signaled Li Si and others to sit down: "You are not polite, please take your seat first. I have something to discuss with you!"

"promise."

He nodded and agreed. When the ministers heard that Ying Zheng had something to discuss, they naturally did not dare to say anything. They quickly found their place and sat down. They poured himself a cup of tea and sat upright.

"Dear friends, according to the news from the Black Ice Platform, the craftsmen of the Shaofu have already investigated it in Liangzhou. The iron ore vein reserves are extremely large, enough to supply the Qin Dynasty for a hundred years."

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers and said in a solemn tone, "At the same time, the south of Bashu, that is, Xiazhou, which Wu Chenghou had just captured, also found an iron ore vein."

"The iron ore veins are in Dazhe, and the reserves are no less than those in Liangzhou's iron ore veins. Moreover, there are a large number of salt lakes in Liangzhou, which can produce a large amount of refined salt."

"About Qin Yan, my dear friends have already felt it. Next, Qin Yan will definitely promote it to the world, so that the common people in the world can also feel the beauty of Qin Yan."

"However, both Liangzhou and Xiazhou are far away from Xianyang, and the journey is different, which means that most of the time and energy will be wasted halfway."

...........

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and others with a sharp look and said, "Salt and iron are the foundation of a country. Whether it is Liangzhou or Xiazhou, it is a first-class and important place."

"It is not only necessary to migrate the population and integrate culturally, and gradually digest the two places, but also to build a road that closely connects the two places with Xianyang."

"In recent years, the Great Qin Treasury still has some money and food. I plan to build a road from Xianyang to Liangzhou and from Xianyang to Xiazhou. I wonder what your dear friends mean?"

Upon hearing this, Li Si and others frowned. They naturally knew the importance of Liangzhou and Xiazhou, but the difficulty of building Chidao was too shocking.

The reason why the Qin Dynasty built the Chidao before was entirely because of the Qin Dynasty's annexation of the six countries and obtained the treasury of the six countries. But even so, the Chidao of the Qin Empire would be fully consumed.

Even if this time the construction of Chidao and the activation of slaves is a huge test for the Qin Dynasty's treasury.

"Your Majesty, although the national treasury is not tight, it is not easy to build whether it is from Xianyang to Liangzhou or from Xianyang to Xiazhou."
