Zhao Tuo returned to Xianyang Palace under the cheers of the commoners.
Even though he was a person of the later generations and knew the nature of this era, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
It was no wonder that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang could rise up and gain support by pretending to be a demon in the grass and shouting "Great Chuxing, King Chen Sheng".
It was no wonder that carving the words "The First Emperor died and the land was divided" on a meteorite could make the people feel uneasy.
" It's scary to be uncultured…"
"Your Majesty, what did you say?"
Looking at Meng Yi's confused expression, Zhao Tuo shook his head slightly.
"It's fine. I'm just lamenting that the people of Great Qin are ignorant.”
"If we want Great Qin to rise, we will have to first solve this problem.”
Feng Quji nodded, but a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty is right, but…this is not an easy task. Right now, the commoners are still hungry.”
"Moreover, this is not the only reason why people are restricted from studying.”
"I naturally know."
Zhao Tuo didn't say anything else. He waved his hand to signal for Meng Yi and Feng Quji to leave.
"I will take my leave!"
The two of them bowed and left the bedroom.
It was not until the two of them disappeared from the palace gate that Little Peach, who had been washing tea at the side, came over obediently with the teapot.
She filled Zhao Tuo's cup with tea and asked curiously,"Brother Tuo already has a plan for the commoners to study, right?”
"How did you know?"
"Because you rarely bring up questions that you are not confident in.”
Hearing Little Peach's explanation, Zhao Tuo could not help but laugh.
It seemed that after so many years of getting along, Little Peach had long understood herself.
"Brother Tuo, take care of your rest. I'm going to teach the people how to process the tea leaves.”
Zhao Tuo grabbed Little Peach, who was about to turn around and leave.
"Little Peach, you're now the master of the harem. You don't have to do everything yourself.”
"I know, but if I don't teach them, will Brother Tuo be able to drink the tea that they dry themselves?”
“……”
"And those cooks have just come into contact with the iron pot. If I don't teach them, will the dishes they cook be edible?”
“……”
"Also, the rice and vegetables that Brother Tuo planted need to be taken care of on time.”
“……”
Zhao Tuo was speechless for a moment.
"Ahem, you have a point. Speaking of vegetables…how are the seeds that I ordered people to plant in various places last year?”
"Big Brother Tuo, don't worry; those seeds have already been sent to all parts of Great Qin, and the Black Ice Platform has people looking after them. They'll probably be harvested in a few months.”
Zhao Tuo nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that the current plan was progressing steadily.
"Alright, go ahead. Remember to rest.”
"I know."
As soon as Little Peach left the bedchamber, Zhao Tuo called out the Reputation Point Mall in his mind.
" Elementary cement production method: 520,000 reputation points. Do you wish to exchange?”
Zhao Tuo chose yes without hesitation.
The next moment, with a pleasant notification, the balance of more than one million instantly shrank by half.
Along with it, a large amount of knowledge surged into his mind.
After closing his eyes and digesting for a long time, Zhao Tuo slowly opened his eyes.
"I see. Fortunately, I didn't rashly try it before. It turns out that the temperature of the cement is a little more complicated than I thought.”
As he muttered, Zhao Tuo picked up a pen and started writing on the silk.
"Men!"
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Tuo handed the silk in his hand to the eunuch who had just entered and instructed,""Give this to the craftsmen of the Shao Mansion.”
"After the morning court session ends in three days, Zhen will personally make a trip over.”
"Here."
The eunuch took the silk that Zhao Tuo had written and went straight to the workshop in the palace.
……
Three days later, early in the morning, the routine morning court session.
After the ceremony at Mount Li a few days ago, the civil and military officials in the court had visibly become more respectful toward Zhao Tuo.
Back then, Zhao Tuo had claimed that he was under the command of the Great Qin people.
However, in their eyes, Zhao Tuo now had an additional trace of the color of a true "being ordered by the heavens".
Even the civil and military officials in the court were like this, not to mention the entire Xianyang City and the surrounding people.
Let's not talk about anything else.
At least after the Pilgrimage Ceremony, the turbulent situation in Xianyang City had completely stabilized.
As for those who were trying to stir up trouble among the commoners…they were probably killed by the Iron Eagle Guards that day.
After the morning court session, Zhao Tuo called Meng Yi, Feng Quji, and Wang Ben over.
"Come, follow zhen to the workshop in the palace.”
Workshop?
The three of them looked at each other in confusion.
Why did His Majesty go to the workshop when he had nothing to do?
"His Majesty has arrived!"
As soon as Zhao Tuo arrived, the eunuch who accompanied him immediately called out the minor official in charge of the workshop.
"I am Liu Zhen. Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Hmm…"
Zhao Tuo nodded and went straight to the point."The thing that I ordered someone to send over a few days ago, has it been refined?”
"Replying to Your Majesty, although it was extremely difficult to control the fire at the beginning, it was not difficult to make it once one became familiar with it. Now, the craftsmen in the workshop have made a whole stone.”
"Good! Bring me to take a look!"
Under Liu Zhen's lead, Zhao Tuo and Meng Yi brought the three of them to the warehouse next to the workshop.
As soon as he entered, Zhao Tuo saw the gray dust at the door.
"Have you prepared the slag for the smelting process?”
"Your Majesty, the slag has been ground into powder and is ready.”
"Very good! Send the things to my bedroom and ask two craftsmen to bring more green stone bricks.”
"Here."
With Zhao Tuo's orders, the eunuchs and black-armored Imperial Army soldiers began to get busy.
Only Meng Yi and the other two were still confused.
What was His Majesty trying to do?
What was this grey dust? What would he do with the ground slag?
Why did he send so many bluestone bricks to the bedroom?
For a moment, a large number of question marks appeared in the minds of the three of them.
And right at this moment, Zhao Tuo's words completely stunned the three of them.
"Prime Minister Feng, go back and draft the documents related to the Great Wall of the Northern Borderline and the reduction of the corvee.”
"He also ordered the counties to prepare for the return of the corvee.”
