Compasses were made to identify directions, but gunpowder was still reduced to the fate of firecrackers. The brains of the skilled craftsmen in the Shao Fu were still too small, and they could not even develop explosives.
However, Fu Su did not mind. In this era where there was spiritual energy, martial arts, and military formations were important, the effect of explosives was not as outstanding as in his previous life.
A batch of the three-piece horse harness had already been produced. Fu Su was prepared to gather enough for a 100,000-strong army to send to Meng Tian.
Great Qin's army mainly consisted of infantry and archers, and they had very few Cavalrymen. Apart from people, they did not have many good horses.
The best warhorses were all in the Western Regions, but the Xiongnu and the Wolf Tribe were separated from the Empire and the Western Regions, so it was very rare to get a good warhorse!
The only Cavalry in Great Qin was under Meng Tian's command. However, he only had 30,000 Cavalrymen, which was a pitiful number.
However, he had already asked Han Xin to bring a hundred thousand soldiers over. Whether the empire could have a large number of cavalry would depend on how they operated.
What he could do now was to urge the Imperial Household to work overtime and help them forge a batch of steel weapons and a batch of canned fish and shrimp. He wanted the soldiers on the frontline to improve their food and let him feel the warmth of the Empire.
There were still too few potatoes and cotton, and they could not be popularized for the time being. These things were in short supply, and even cultural relics and officials were fighting for them crazily. The soldiers at the front line could not count on them.
This year, the Shao Fu had made a huge contribution. Other than the above-mentioned matters, they had also rushed to produce new farming tools and spread them, saving the people of the empire a lot of physical strength.
However, Fu Su inadvertently discovered another problem. The Empire's cattle were too few for farming. Then, he set his sights on the Huns and wolves in the north.
……
Fu Nian returned to the Little Sage Manor and told Xunzi about Fu Su's request.
"From what the second emperor has done since he ascended the throne, he doesn't seem like a fatuous ruler!”Xun Zi pondered," He shouldn't be doing this to humiliate our scholarly faction, but to take a hostage!”
"Times have changed. You have seen the papers and books from Xianyang. You've seen canned fish and shrimp, new farming tools, and glass mirrors…"
"I heard that these things have other uses in Xianyang. Times are changing, and Great Qin is leading the way!”
"Our Confucianists have always regarded educating the world as our duty, but now, we have fallen behind!”
"The Confucians can't be complacent. If the second emperor needs a token of loyalty, then we'll give it to him. We need to catch up and not be eliminated by history!”
Fu Nian was shocked; he had never thought that Xun Zi would have such a high opinion of Great Qin.
At the same time, he thought of Zhang Liang, the Han noble who hated Great Qin but was extremely smart.
"Zifang, what do you want to choose?"
Xun Zi looked at Fu Nian and said," The scholarly faction needs to be passed down. Now is not the time to be sentimental. Special times need special methods to deal with them!”
"Fu Nian, follow the second emperor's request and find a few female disciples. I will personally teach them!”
Fu Nian looked at Xun Zi in shock!
"Martial Uncle, I don't understand. Is the second emperor's actions more powerful than the first emperor's?”
Xun Zi looked at him and said,"Looking at the entire Small Sage Manor, Zifang's mind is not here; Yan Lu was a modest gentleman and wasn't suitable to lead the Confucians. Only you are the most suitable person to lead the scholarly faction forward after me.”
"Uncle-Master praises me too much. I'm ashamed!" Fu Nian bowed.
However, Xun Zi ignored him and continued," The Second Emperor and the First Emperor are different. When the First Emperor ascended the throne, his ancestors had already laid a very solid foundation for him to unify the world. The strength of the Qin State had reached its peak.”
"Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Fan Sui, Wei Liao, Li Si, and Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Ao, and Meng Tian were at the peak of the militarists 'era. It was only natural for the First Emperor to unify the world.”
" However, it's different when it comes to the second emperor. The foundation of the sixth emperor of Great Qin has been completely exhausted by the first emperor. When the first emperor passed away, Zhao Gao and Li Si even dared to fake the imperial edict…"
"However, it's quite strange. At that time, I could already sense that the Great Qin Imperial Star was on the verge of collapse and was about to fall. I wonder how the second Emperor broke through the Final Destiny!”
"Fu Nian, you have to know that you are now facing a second emperor who has already broken through the shackles of his own fate.”
Fu Nian did not know how many times he had been shocked today.
The second emperor who broke through the shackles of his own fate?
Why hadn't he heard his Uncle-Master mention it before?
That's right, this kind of secret, unless it was at such a critical moment, Uncle-Master probably wouldn't say it!
However, even his martial uncle could not break through his own destiny, so what right did the second emperor have?
I can't think of you!
"Looking at what the second Emperor has done since he ascended the throne, he has led Great Qin to a vibrant era!”
" It's said that he boldly promoted some people who were previously worthless," Xun Zi said in a deep voice." The empire has been issuing new laws every now and then. It seems that these people are the ones who have come into play."”
"I observed the second emperor and thought that he was a man of action. Such an emperor has been rare since ancient times!”
