Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 44 If the court uses the minister's secret method, it will charge money!
It's not that Ying Zheng doesn't love his daughters.

As the princess of Daqin, she is doomed to sacrifice herself in the future to fulfill the righteousness of the whole family and the country, whether she wants to or not.

Princess Yuan Man of Huayang almost married Wang Jian, which is the best example.

Therefore, Ying Zheng has always been tolerant, even conniving, to his daughters!

Hu Hai was the most favored among his more than 20 sons, but in front of Yuan Man, he was suppressed to death, and he dared not complain even if he was kicked.

Why?

It was nothing more than Yingzheng's indulgence of Yuanman out of his father's guilt!
"Aiqing, what should I do?"

Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Qin Mo, and asked helplessly.

Qin Mo clasped his hands: "The school has a medical school, under which there is a department of maternity and children. The students are all women, and they are supplemented by teaching methods according to etiquette... It all depends on your Majesty's words."

This is kicking the ball back again.

Ying Zheng turned his head again, glanced at his expecting daughters, and said in a deep thought, "Forget it, all my children come here to study."

The princesses were overjoyed: "Thank you, Father, for your kind heart!"

Seeing the joy of his daughters, Ying Zheng showed a rare kindness, and told them not to use their status to make trouble after they came to the academy.

Otherwise, the master will be punished, and he will definitely not interfere with asylum.

This exhortation also applies to you young masters.

……

Yingzheng educated his children, and the group soon came to Baigongyuan.

Qin Mo led the way and found a group of students who were shoveling sand and mud, with a white-haired old master beside them.

Ying Zheng took a closer look at the white-haired old master who was covered in mud, then he stepped forward quickly and respectfully said: "So it's the Old and Young Mansion, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Shaofu is one of the Nine Ministers, in charge of the royal family's finances, as well as the country's craftsman workshop.

The great Qin star-killing crossbows and chrome-plated bronze swords that are talked about by later generations, including the new equipment used by Qin Mo's [-] cavalry warriors to conquer beyond the Great Wall, are all made by Shaofu craftsmen.

The old and young man whom Yingzheng respected was named Xiangli Mian, and he had already lost his job.

But he also has another identity, he is the great son of the Mo family of the Xiangli family. The Great Qin was able to destroy the six kingdoms, and the Mo of the Xiangli family made the greatest contribution.

This is also the origin of the saying that "Great Qin ruled the country, with Legalism as the mainstay and Confucianism and Mohism as the mainstay"!

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Xiangli bowed his hands to pay homage, but he was also hale and hearty.

Ying Zheng hurriedly supported him: "You don't need to be polite, old and young, why don't you enjoy the joy of your children and grandchildren at home, but you are doing hard labor here?"

"Hard labor?"

Xiang Limian looked at the sand beside him, and said with a stunned smile: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, the old minister is not doing hard labor here, but following the principles of the Mohist school and delving into the art of art."

"By the way, I will train some students who are good at all kinds of crafts for Your Majesty, so that I can enrich the Shaofu in the future!"

Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said straightly: "You and the family have a heart."

However, looking at the dirt all over Xiang Limian's body and the sand being stirred by the students, he couldn't help being confused again: "Is there any magic in the mud?"

Xiangli grinned, pointing to several stone piers with a square half zhang beside him, and said, "Look at these stone piers, Your Majesty, how are they different from other stone piers?"

Ying Zheng had seen those unusual stone piers a long time ago, so he stepped forward to look them up curiously.

The sons and daughters behind him also stepped forward one after another, circling around several square stone piers.

Hu Hai picked up a piece of half-dried condensed sand from the side of the stone pier, held it in his hand and pondered for a while, then seemed to have some enlightenment, and stretched out his hand to touch the stone pier again.

"Father, this stone pier was not chiseled from huge stones, but... but poured with sand?!"

Hu Hai cried out in surprise, and handed the half-dried condensed sand in his hand to Ying Zheng.

It's not without reason that this little guy is favored by Ying Zheng the most, he is indeed extremely alert.

Following his example, Ying Zheng squeezed the half-dry sand, touched the stone pier again, and said in amazement, "This... what kind of magic technique is this? It can gather sand into stone?"

He knew that mud and sand could be fired into bricks.

But he also knew that the baked bricks were broken by bumps.

And the stone pier in front of him was only poured by stirring, not fired, but it was integrated into one piece, and it felt hard to the touch!

Seeing the reaction of the father and son, Xiangli Mian couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "It's not a fairy art, but a secret method that Qin Xiang studied recently. It was handed over to the Baigong Institute for trial production, and it is called: concrete."

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Mo, and suddenly said, "Is this the concrete that Ai Qing said about the secret method of building roads?"

Qin Mo nodded: "Exactly, the pavement is poured with this soil, and the whole shape is as smooth as a mirror, which is several times better than the stone road made of stone slabs."

"At the same time, after the soil is solidified, it has a toughness that rocks do not have, and it is not easy to break. It can be used for decades without breaking!"

Ying Zheng was even more astonished when he heard his words sound mysterious. He looked at the students who had retreated far away and said, "There is a big hammer, take a handle."

"It's here."

The students all came back to their senses, and hurriedly took out a big hammer, Fusu went to pick it up, and handed it to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng wiped his hands, took the sledgehammer, held his breath, let out a low shout, and slammed it on the stone pier in front of him.

bang——

Amidst the loud noise, the hammer bounced high.

Looking at the stone pier again, it was only a shallow pit that was smashed out, and the main body was not damaged.

boom--

boom--

boom--

wow-

Yingzheng smashed the hammer several times until he cracked a piece of the stone pier, and finally stopped.

All the princes and princesses cheered loudly: "Father is really brave!"

"Old man, if you are ten years younger, this pier can be broken with one blow."

Ying Zheng sighed, and threw down the hammer casually, but he was extremely Versailles, pretending to be a wave in front of his children.

The princes and princesses are another wave of rainbow farts!

However, no one saw that Ying Zheng's hands tucked into his sleeves had already trembled into chicken feet.

Although he is diligent in government affairs, he also practices martial arts to strengthen his body every day, and his strength is really not small.

If it's an ordinary stone pier, he doesn't need to be ten years younger, he can break it with one blow.

After all, the stone is hard and brittle, and it is most afraid of being hit!
But the stone pier poured with concrete in front of him is indeed as Qin Mo said, possessing toughness that rocks do not have.

He only managed to crack a piece with all his strength, and his arm was almost crippled by the shock.

Ying Zheng was enjoying the admiration of his sons and daughters, and he looked at Qin Mo after a while and said, "You two lovers, there is a lot to do in this land!"

Xiang Limian also lamented: "It's not just that there is great potential. This soil is indestructible when used for city building, and there is no danger of embankment collapse when used for water conservancy. It is of great benefit to the country and the people."

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, and then asked Qin Mo, "How much does this soil cost?"

Qin Mo: "It's not worth a penny, but it requires a lot of manpower. That's why I borrow slaves from His Majesty for hard labor."

When Ying Zheng heard him say that it was worthless, he immediately felt relieved: "My mausoleum will also be poured with this soil. Aiqing, don't you want to hide your secrets?"

Qin Mo nodded: "Your Majesty wants to use it, and I will not keep it private, but if the court uses it, I will charge money for this secret method!"

　There is a fierce monthly ticket war outside, so I won't ask for a monthly ticket.

　　But but but, please order some recommended tickets, there are more than a dozen tickets a day today, it's too pitiful!

　　Thanks to Xiafei o, the emperor, for the 6-point reward!
　　Thanks to the emperor 20220316191353769 for his reward of 500 points!
