Ying Zheng's decision
It was definitely not a whim!
He knew that Great Qin was still not stable enough, and there was a lot of internal chaos. The main reason was that the people did not have enough food and clothing, and the remaining members of the six dynasties had the opportunity to secretly stir up trouble.
Since that was the case, then he would dig potatoes in public!
If this hundred-picul immortal grain was dug out and weighed in public, it would definitely be able to shut up the mouths of the world and make the people of the world ecstatic!
In addition to the two big moves of reducing taxes and the holy temple, why would they worry about the people of the world not being willing to return? Why worry about the remnants of the six countries?
It had to be said that Ying Zheng was a very shrewd politician!
Ji Han had only said one thing, so he could immediately draw inferences and come up with an even more powerful strategy for Great Qin.
After the court session ended!
Ying Zheng summoned Zhang Han in the side hall.
Along with Zhang Han, there were also three great craftsmen from the General Manor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Han knelt down and shouted, his gaze calm.
This former general of Ying Zheng's had never been outstanding because of Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Wang Ben.
He wouldn't even have a share in the battle against the Xiongnu in the north!
But today, Ying Zheng had thought of him, and even entrusted him with an important task.
"Zhang Han, get up!" Ying Zheng casually waved his hand and suddenly asked,""Zhen has neglected you all these years. Do you have any resentment?”
"I don't dare!" Zhang Han knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, shouting,""I swear my life to be loyal to Your Majesty. I'm a part of Great Qin, and I'm a ghost of Great Qin in death. I only dare to remember Your Majesty's kindness, so how can I have any resentment?”
"Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then said,""The reason why I didn't use you to attack the Xiongnu in the north is because there's something that concerns the Great Qin for ten thousand years that I need you to do personally.”
"This?"
Zhang Han gasped!
This huge surprise immediately made his mind go blank.
After regaining his senses, Zhang Han immediately said excitedly,"Your Majesty, please give me your orders.”
"I want you to secretly set up a Military Armament Office to be responsible for the production of gunpowder, steel, cement, and so on!”" I will assign ten thousand craftsmen and thirty thousand old soldiers of the Great Qin Empire to you," Ying Zheng ordered." Are you confident that you can do it?"”
"Hmm?"
Zhang Han's face was filled with confusion. He didn't know what this gunpowder cement was.
However, he knew that this was definitely a very important department.
Ying Zheng valued him so much, which made him feel flattered.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will manage the Military Armament House well and not disappoint you.”Zhang Han agreed excitedly.
"Good!" Ying Zheng pointed at the three master craftsmen kneeling on the ground and said,""These three are the top craftsmen in the General's Residence. Three generations of their ancestors are craftsmen of the Great Qin Dynasty.”
"The three of them will be your assistants. You can entrust all the research and production matters to them. You are mainly responsible for controlling the overall situation and forbidding all the assets and secrets in the Military Weaponry Department from being leaked.”
"I understand!"
Zhang Han quickly agreed. He was secretly ecstatic.
Since Ying Zheng attached so much importance to this Armaments Department, it seemed that it was definitely not a simple place. He was going to rise to the top.
"The three of you, come up!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and placed the blueprints of gunpowder, cement, stir-frying steel, and steel-making methods on the table.
The three master craftsmen kneeled forward in fear.
"The three of you have your own strengths and are the best craftsmen in Great Qin. I want to put you in an important position.”
"These blueprints were passed down by the immortal master. If you dare to leak any of them, I will definitely kill your entire family!”
Ying Zheng drew out his sword and pointed at the blueprints with the tip of the sword, explaining them one by one!
After a series of threats and explanations, the master craftsmen could not help but exclaim in awe.
"This, this gunpowder is actually the raw material for making wooden hand grenades? Unbelievable, truly unbelievable.”
"The cement can actually turn sand into stone? How is this possible?"
"The stir-frying and pouring steel methods can actually mass produce refined steel? Isn't this too magical?"
The three master craftsmen cried out in alarm!
They were all smart people and top-notch craftsmen.
Although he did not understand the principles of these three new products, he had deeply memorized their production process. As long as he went back and experimented a few more times, he would definitely be able to make these things.
Ying Zheng gave them a series of exhortations and explanations, and only after he was sure that they had all memorized it did he put away the blueprint in satisfaction.
This thing was a treasure, and it could not be leaked!
Even these three great craftsmen would be closely monitored in the future, and their descendants would not be allowed to leave Xianyang.
Zhang Han's responsibility was naturally to lead the troops to guard these craftsmen and strictly protect the Military Armament House, ensuring the normal and orderly production of various treasures and preventing outsiders from causing trouble.
These things could not be leaked!
If this was leaked, Old Zhao would kill someone.
"Remember, the location of the Military Armament Department is in the abandoned barracks outside the city. If there is not enough space, expand it as soon as possible!”
"The Military Weaponry Department is temporarily divided into three departments. The three of you will each lead a department in charge of production. Get these things out as soon as possible, the more the better!”
"Also, the development and production of gunpowder must be kept strictly confidential. Be careful not to come into contact with open fire ironware. All production tools must be made of wood to prevent explosions, understand?”
Ying Zheng gave another round of exhortations!
Zhang Han and the three master craftsmen quickly knelt on the ground and shouted,""Don't worry, Your Majesty. We'll remember it!"
"Yes!"
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand to dismiss them!
It could be predicted that soon, Great Qin would have a large amount of cement to invest in its infrastructure, as well as a large amount of steel and gunpowder. It would be enough to arm the Qin army to the teeth!
At the thought that he would be able to obtain an endless supply of wooden grenades and explosive packs in the future, Ying Zheng beamed with joy and felt very happy.
