Daqin Engineers

The industrial zone is divided into three major areas: papermaking, iron smelting and textiles.

The simplest and most mature is papermaking.

It's just that this thing was related to the national propaganda strategy in ancient times, and Shen Bing was temporarily afraid to let go of production and flow into the market.

As a result, papermaking is more for Yunzhong County's own use.

On the other hand, Shen Bing deliberately asked Fusu to report the papermaking methods to Yingzheng in detail... Only in this way can Yingzheng be completely assured and Fusu's position in Yingzheng's heart can be improved.

In fact, from a certain perspective, Fusu's position in Yingzheng's heart is not the point.

Because Fusu has always been very important in Yingzheng's eyes in history, otherwise it would not have been both Chunyuyue and Meng Tian's painstaking training.

Although Yingzheng did not make Fusu a prince on the bright side, it was only because Yingzheng had strict requirements on this successor, and worried that he could not manage the country he had worked so hard or that Fusu had not yet grown into a qualified prince. .

But just imagine, if Fusu hasn't become a qualified prince, which other prince can match?

Hu Hai, an underage?

You don't have to think about it.

Therefore, Yingzheng has always believed that Fusu is the heir, so Fusu will be allowed to preside over the funeral before his death... This is actually the meaning of letting Fusu inherit the throne, but Zhao Gao and Li Si will not show that It was changed to death.

Therefore, the biggest problem with Fusu was not Yingzheng, and even Shen Bing believed that as long as Fusu continued to hone with him on the front line, Yingzheng would be satisfied, just like Fusu was hone by Mengtian in history.

But Shen Bing was still consciously or unconsciously letting Fusu stay in touch with Yingzheng and constantly improve his favor.

This is not only beneficial to Fusu's throne in the future, but also beneficial to Shen Bing and even Yunzhong County.

Although Shen Bing was a meritorious and "loyal"... "loyal" with quotation marks, Shen Bing knew the result so he was determined to follow the Ying Zheng chaos, and he was not loyal by nature.

But Shen Bing is an outsider after all.

As Zhao Gao said, there is a need for autonomy in the North. Li Mu was jealous of the king of Zhao because of autonomy, which eventually led to the death of Li Mu and the destruction of the Kingdom of Zhao.

In addition, Qin State has a system of prefectures and counties throughout the country. Why does the Northland form a de facto "feud"?

At this time, Ying Zheng allowed the North to govern... Is it really because he trusted Shen Bing or was he not as stupid as King Zhao?

This is not the case.

The more important reason should be that Fu Su was involved in the supervising army of the Liang Army and knew the secrets, so Ying Zheng had a clear picture of Shen Bing.

Even strictly speaking, Beidi is under the control of Fusu...The person with the most right to speak in Beidi is undoubtedly Fusu. He is the son of Qin, so who dares to say "no" what he wants to say?

So, what happened to Northland Autonomy?

What happened to the Huns who could produce grain and iron by themselves?

Isn't this the whole small country let Fusu learn to take care of it?

In the future, the throne will be passed to Fusu. Is it necessary for Fusu to rebel?

If Fusu, the young man, revolted on his own, I'm afraid his brain was flooded!

Therefore, Yingzheng's trust in Fusu is directly related to the degree of independence of Yunzhong County.

If you trust and recognize him as the heir, you will give the people, resources, and power...

Otherwise, Ying Zheng will worry that Fu Suwei will not be able to lose his father, just like Tou Mandan intends to change his life after he first Li Maodun.

Shen Bing understands this subtle relationship, which has nothing to do with him as an outsider.

The iron smelting in the industrial zone still uses the old blast furnace.

Shen Bing was still cautious enough on iron.

If paper is a national propaganda tool, then the iron thing in ancient times represented the advanced level of military equipment.

Shen Bing does not intend to let high-quality new iron flow into the market in large quantities, and even his iron smelting workshops are privately set up.

It is only used as the basis for the production, storage and future industrialization of weapons to enhance the combat effectiveness of Yunzhong County...Industrialization requires a large amount of iron, so steel output will become one of the standards for the degree of industrialization.

Because there are many problems:

The first is the outflow of high-quality iron. Does it mean that Yunzhong County does not have much armament advantage over other regions and military weapons?

The second and more important thing is...

If the mass production in Yunzhong County even becomes a commodity circulation, it would be impossible to keep Yingzheng a secret... such as making iron pots, iron bowls, iron buckets, iron hoes, iron plows, etc.

When Ying Zheng took a look, was it still worth it?

My Daqin army is still using bronze wares. Does your autonomous Northland use such mature ironware and even mass produce daily necessities?

When I asked Fusu again, even Fusu didn't know how to make it... Isn't it the opposite of hiding weapons?

So Shen Bing died and Fusu, the supervising army, would also be implicated.

This is not a joke, and it is more sensitive and serious than paper, Shen Bing cannot be careful.

Shen Bing used the old-style blast furnace to smelt iron in the industrial zone, which actually confuses others...The iron produced in Yunzhong County is of high quality?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

It also has poor quality iron, and the quantity is still quite large.

As for the high-quality iron used for arrows and bed crossbows... that is the selection of high-quality iron for the army in mass production of inferior iron, rather than any other iron-making method.

With this explanation, the emergence of the new railway in Yunzhong County can be explained.

It can even be said to be more reasonable.

Because in this era, a certain famous mountain and a certain sword-making master inadvertently smelt high-quality iron or even steel into a sword, so a "divine weapon" is released.

What made Shen Bing ecstatic is that Yingzheng even sent a team of more than one hundred "explorers" to Yunzhong County.

The so-called prospecting is to find iron, copper, tin and other minerals in the area so that they can be directly mined locally without transportation from a distance.

This is good news for Shen Bing.

First of all, this shows Yingzheng's trust in Fusu and Shen Bing.

Secondly, if mines can be found in Yunzhong County, even copper and tin mines will be of great help to Yunzhong County.

Because this really means that Yunzhong County can be "autonomous" instead of being choked by Zhao Gao, Li Si and others at critical moments.

For example, one day Shen Bing resisted the decree and did not obey and oppose Su Su committed suicide... As long as Zhao Gao and Li Si cut off the source of ore to Yunzhong County, Yunzhong County's military power would be limited.

Shen Bing now entertained these prospectors with good wine and food.

The head is an old man named Bo.

Later, Shen Bing learned that he was actually in his early forties, but because his life was not easy, he looked old because he was tired all the time... In ancient times, there were many people like this who lived hard.

Bo is actually a medicinal farmer who gathers herbs for his livelihood. He has been walking in the mountains for many years and found an iron ore accidentally, so his life track has become "exploration".

The discovery of an iron ore in this era is remarkable.

Because at this time, there are only 37 iron-producing mountains in the whole Central, and all of them are on the mountain.

No wonder only those who gather herbs can discover it.
