After knowing that there is a treasure mountain in Dongying, after returning to the palace, Yingzheng sent people to study the warships. After cleaning up the tribes of the Huns, the next goal was to clean up Dongying first.

Warship has been studied before, and Ying Zheng also attaches great importance to it, but now, he pays more attention to it.

On the second day, Zhang Liang took out the written plan for the establishment of the Weapons Research Department.

The public loser studied the movement made by gunpowder, and Ying Zheng also said it directly at the court meeting, and they all knew the power of gunpowder.

The proposal of the Weapons Research Department surprised everyone.

The people in the court all looked towards Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang had been following His Highness the Crown Prince all along, and when he mentioned it, it must be His Highness the Crown Prince's intention.

"Your Majesty, to attack the Xiongnu, the treasury needs to support the operation of the entire Great Qin, set up a weapons research department, and require the court to provide research materials, etc. Your Majesty, this plan is not appropriate." Zhou Yan stood up again.

The newly established department is obviously dedicated to the craftsmen of the public losers, but they are just craftsmen. If they stand up, they will definitely threaten the interests of nobles like them.

Now the status of the nobles in Daqin is not as good as before, especially since the land reform, not only the status of the head of Guizhou has been greatly improved, but even the status of businessmen has been improved a lot.

Now that the craftsmen are about to rise again, in their eyes, the craftsmen are just low-level existences, and even the craftsmen are going to be on an equal footing with them, so it's no wonder that they are happy in their hearts.

Just because Su Ling spoke for them this time, he will definitely talk to the people in his family when he goes back, and try not to target the Mo family in the future.

After Guan Zhong put forward the theory of the division of labor among the four peoples, people in the world were divided into four types: scholars, farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen, and the status of craftsmen was greatly reduced.

Gong Shuyu glared at these people. When Zhang Liang proposed to set up a weapons research department, he was very excited. Zhang Liang's words must be the meaning of His Highness the Crown Prince.

His Highness the Crown Prince thought about them wholeheartedly, and he was grateful in his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty, research on weapons is their duty. Setting up a special department will increase the burden on the imperial court." One of the old Qin nobles also stood up.

If this is the case, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

"Father, my son also thinks that we should set up a weapons research department. If Daqin wants to become strong, we don't just rely on bows, crossbows and swords. Weapons need to be constantly updated to ensure Daqin's rule." Zhao Qingrui said respectfully.

"Of course, these weapons are too terrifying and should be banned in the entire Qin Dynasty." Zhou Yan took it for granted.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that the existence of the Weapons Research Department is very necessary. Our Daqin needs powerful weapons, and the public losers are willing to die for the stability of Daqin." The public loser Yu Dayi said awe-inspiringly.

"Your Majesty, I agree with what Feng Xiang said. If these weapons are flooded in Guizhou, they will pose a great threat. Setting up a special department will not only reduce this threat, but also benefit the development of Daqin weapons." Li Si bowed and said, such a powerful thing , must be in the hands of the court.

He also went to see the situation of the public loser. Such a powerful weapon can kill two people directly. This is because there are few people there. If there are many people, I don’t know how many people will be killed.

Such weapons are far too foul compared to Daqin's existing weapons. If they are not controlled and allowed to spread among the people, wouldn't this provide opportunities for turmoil to those remnants of the Six Kingdoms and people with ulterior motives?

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Weapons Research Department must be included in the imperial court. For powerful weapons like gunpowder, other craftsmen should not research them at will, otherwise it will pose a great hidden danger to the stability of Great Qin." Feng Quji said respectfully.

After he and Feng Quji went to the public loser yesterday, he has been thinking about how to solve this matter. He did not expect Zhang Liang to provide such a good solution.

The status of these old Qin nobles is also not as good as before. After Zhao Qingrui came back, none of the policies she promulgated was beneficial to these nobles, but greatly damaged their interests.

"Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal. The order of the Great Qin is now chaotic, and the nobles are not separated from each other. This move will definitely fuel the arrogance of those low-level people."

"Where is the prince?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui.

Ying Zheng watched indifferently, and did not rush to speak. Those who opposed were all nobles.

He is not interested in weapon research, but the establishment of this department is very necessary. If Daqin has powerful weapons, it will be very useful whether it is to conquer the Huns or defend Daqin.

"What does Lord Zhou mean, shouldn't you be able to study those weapons?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhou Yan coldly. If this guy doesn't oppose her, he feels uncomfortable, right?

Zhao Qingrui became the crown prince, and they objected in their hearts, not only because she was a woman, but also because she didn't seek profit for them.

"Li Qing, Feng Qing, what do you two think about this matter?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and Feng Quji.

When Su Ling stood up, Gongshuyu was surprised. Everyone in Xianyang knew about the relationship between the Gongshu family and the Mo family, but he didn't expect him to stand up and speak for them.

"My Daqin has only settled down now, and waged wars arbitrarily, which also has a great impact on the head of Guizhou. His Royal Highness is dedicated to the people. Is this all just for the sake of fame?"

"His Royal Highness, what do you mean by wanting to start a war?" Zhou Yan said dissatisfied.

The scholar-bureaucrat class belongs to the top class of society and has enjoyed so many years of pursuit. Now in the head of Guizhou, the status of merchants and even craftsmen has been greatly improved, and the rights and interests of nobles have also been weakened. The gap can be imagined.

But these people, it is too much to belittle their public losers so much, Gong Shuyu secretly gritted his teeth, and will definitely trip them up when he finds an opportunity.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is also thinking about the future of the Great Qin. The army needs more powerful weapons. This move is also for the foundation of the Great Qin forever." For the first time, Su Ling took the initiative to stand up and help speak.

Ying Zheng's face was even colder. The Great Qin ruled the six kingdoms. He was called the first emperor, and he was not bad as the founding emperor. He knew better than anyone that having a sword without a sword and not having a sword are two completely different concepts.

With the existence of these powerful weapons, even if the descendants are stupid, the rule of Daqin can still continue.

In his heart, he also agrees with the establishment of this weapons research department. Only when the weapons are strong enough can Daqin be stabilized and he will not be afraid of the threat of any nobles.

Seeing His Majesty's face getting colder and colder, and his hand even holding the hilt of Tai'a Sword, many people couldn't help but thump in their hearts.

"Master Zhou's words are really absurd. Master Zhou only sees the horror of this thing. As long as it is used in the right place, anything is valuable. Could it be that this gunpowder threatens Master Zhou?" The corners of Zhao Qingrui's lips curled up. A touch of sarcasm.
