Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

"What's going on?" Zhao Qingrui rubbed her brows wearily.

"Master Xu Changming from Shanglinyuan said he found the rubber tree His Majesty needs, please go and check it out." The eunuch said respectfully.

"Pull up to Linyuan." Zhao Qingrui's eyes lit up immediately. The rubber tree, which she was looking forward to for the stars and the moon, finally came.

The speed of the carriage is still quite fast, mainly because after the road is repaired, the traffic is smoother, and the road is also very stable without bumps.

Zhao Qingrui is still very satisfied with the situation in Xianyang City.

In Shanglin Garden, Xu Changming was very excited at this moment. The rubber tree had been planted for two or three years. He didn't notice it before, but he didn't know the tree.

By chance, the knife he was carrying with him cut the trunk, and the trunk actually started to leak out glue, which is very similar to the rubber His Majesty said.

This made Xu Changming very excited. His Majesty said that this thing has many uses. Once it is verified, it will be a great credit.

When they came to Shanglin Garden, the concubines of Afang Palace were shocked when they knew that Zhao Qingrui was coming, and hurriedly came out to salute.

Fortunately, Zhao Qingrui didn't come to look for them, so he waved his hand and headed towards the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Xu Changming had brought the farmer's people to wait early in the morning, and immediately led the farmer's people to pick him up after Zhao Qingrui came over.

"Aiqing, you don't have to be polite, take me to see the rubber tree." Zhao Qingrui went over to help Xu Changming up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take His Majesty to see it right now." Xu Changming said enthusiastically, his dark face was full of joy.

"it is good."

A group of people headed towards the location of the rubber tree, which was planted halfway up the mountain. The weeds here were cleaned up, and a tree more than ten meters high grew here alone.

"Look, Your Majesty, this is the tree. The sap that flows out after it is cut is sticky, much like the rubber your Majesty said." Xu Changming said excitedly, and took out a small bowl hanging from the tree. It came down, and there was some tree sap on it.

The eunuch next to Zhao Qingrui immediately took over the small bowl. Naturally, they were the ones who did the dirty work.

The small bowl was placed in front of Zhao Qingrui and asked Zhao Qingrui to examine it carefully.

Zhao Qingrui looked at the trees in front of him, then at the juice in the bowl, and then spent some points to do a test.

"This is indeed a rubber tree, Xu everyone did a good job." Zhao Qingrui said affirmatively, unexpectedly, she had transplanted a rubber tree here a long time ago.

"It's fine if it's a rubber tree. It's my duty to share His Majesty's worries." Xu Changming said seriously.

Your Majesty attaches great importance to farmers, and this is the greatest affirmation for them.

"Everyone discovered the rubber tree and made great contributions to our Great Qin. I was promoted to a higher level, and I was rewarded with a house, two thousand yi of gold, a pair of jade Ruyi, and a pearl." Zhao Qingrui directly rewarded a bunch of things.

"Your Majesty, this is too much." Xu Changming was stunned, he just found a rubber tree, and he couldn't accept so many rewards.

"You deserve it. You don't know the value of this thing. This thing can be used in many aspects of life, and there are many machines that can also use it. It can continuously create value for Daqin." Zhao said. Qing Rui said seriously.

Ask someone to draw the shape of the rubber tree, and Zhao Qingrui went back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, the first thing Zhao Qingrui did was to send an order to Wang Yuan to process natural rubber at Ling Rubber Factory.

If there are not enough rubber trees, we have to find a way to make people grow more.

Now Daqin's technology can't synthesize artificial rubber at all, and can only use natural rubber collected from trees.

Just as the disaster situation in Lingnan has improved, the impact of this epidemic on the economy of Lingnan is still great.

If there is a rubber industry, it can also quickly promote the development of Lingnan.

Zhao Qingrui also allocated a large sum of money and food to Wang Yuan, asking him to build the factory as soon as possible.

Zhao Qingrui's actions made many officials in the court object. With so much money, in addition to the money invested in education, the treasury of Daqin was barely enough to maintain the operation of the whole Daqin. Now His Majesty So much money has been transferred to build a rubber factory and plant rubber.

Although His Majesty said that this is a good thing, it will take a long time for these things to be put into the market, and the initial investment is also a huge amount.

Although they disagreed, Zhao Qingrui issued an edict to enforce the matter.

No one said it would work, she had to promote this rubber.

Zhao Qingrui didn't think about hiding the emergence of rubber, a new thing, from outsiders, so there were still a lot of rumors in Xianyang City during this period.

Zhao Qingrui listened to the weak report for a while, and didn't care about it anymore, anyway, they will know the use of rubber in the future.

"Your Majesty, Lord Gongshu seeks an audience." The eunuch said respectfully.

"Xuan." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

Soon, Gongshuyu came over, and he also came over with a long box in his arms.

"Your Majesty, luckily you fulfilled your mission. The Ding Qin Sword has been recast, please take a look at it." Gong Shuyu opened the box.

In order to recast the Ding Qin Sword, the public loser spent a lot of effort during this period, and only then did the recasting of the Ding Qin Sword be completed.

Zhao Qingrui came over and took out the Ding Qin sword from the sword box.

As soon as he got it, Zhao Qingrui found that the Ding Qin sword was a lot heavier, but it felt better in the hand.

Pulling out the Ding Qin sword, there was a soft cry, the sword body revealed a faint cold light, and some ancient patterns were engraved on the sword body, this is the appearance of Ding Qin sword before.

The current Ding Qin Sword, it can be said that only its appearance is the same as the previous Ding Qin Sword, and the entire Ding Qin Sword has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Zhangtai Palace was spacious enough, Zhao Qingrui couldn't help practicing a few moves with the Ding Qin Sword.

Fortunately, she learned a lot from Wang Jian before. Apart from the situation in the army, she also learned how to use some weapons.

The types of weapons in Daqin are relatively small, not as rich as those of later generations.

Zhao Qingrui's figure was as light as a baby swallow, her wrists were spinning, and Ding Qin's sword was also flashing like lightning, the sword's light was shining, and it merged with the figure of the girl in the palace.

Gongshuyu was taken aback for a while, why didn't he realize that His Majesty is so beautiful before?
That's right, His Majesty's majesty became more and more serious day by day, His Majesty became more and more like the First Emperor, and they didn't dare to look directly at His Majesty's sky.

"Good sword." Zhao Qingrui took back the sword in his hand and said with satisfaction.

"As long as His Majesty likes it." Came back to his senses in an instant, Gong Shuyu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he couldn't look at His Majesty like this next time.

If His Majesty finds out, it is estimated that the pair of eyeballs will be lost.

After rewarding the public loser with some things, the public loser left Zhangtai Palace.

The Zhangtai Palace became quiet, Zhao Qingrui was playing with Ding Qin Jian, his eyes were full of joy.

Today's Ding Qin sword absolutely cuts iron like mud, and she is very satisfied with the sword forged by the public loser this time.

The good news came one after another, and Zhao Qingrui's depressed mood improved a lot.

Hang the sword on your waist, just like your father, put the sword where you can get it at any time, so you don't have to worry about it even if you are attacked.
-
When Wang Yuan received Zhao Qingrui's order, he was shocked when he saw the large amount of money sent over.

His Majesty wanted him to find rubber trees and build a large rubber factory, and the drawings inside the rubber factory were also sent along.

The blueprint of the rubber factory was purchased by Zhao Qingrui with a lot of points, and it was the most primitive and the cheapest.

Even the cheapest one cost more than [-] points.

However, as long as he thinks about the value created by the rubber tree, Zhao Qingrui feels that this investment is completely worthwhile.

The equipment used in it can be built in the iron workshop now, and technological innovation will be needed in the future, and then let them figure out their own way, so she won't interfere much.

Seeing these things, Wang Yuan asked people to make dozens of copies of the pattern of the rubber tree and sent them to the county lieutenant's mansion, and then arranged for people to start looking for the rubber tree.

In addition to searching, some small saplings had to be transplanted and planted in a special place. Wang Yuan was allowed to plan the planting place, and she gave Wang Yuan great rights.

Wang Yuan also lived up to Zhao Qingrui's expectations. The epidemic here has been completely brought under control, but the economy is low. Zhao Qingrui's edict is enough to revitalize this place.

Wang Yuan discussed with the newly transferred sheriff, and quickly planned a large area for planting rubber trees, and designated a large area for building factories.

Considering the situation of various factories in Xianyang, Wang Yuan asked for some more land to build dormitories and entertainment areas here.

If you want to develop this side, these things are essential.

Although he is not very good at management, he has seen this kind of model a lot in the past few years in Xianyang, so he just copied it.

The sheriff is newly transferred here, and Wang Yuan is a celebrity around His Majesty, and he is still entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty. As long as he follows through properly, credit will definitely be indispensable.

Once the rubber trees are planted, the factory is built, and the rubber is processed and used, the prosperity here will definitely be indispensable in the future.

As long as this side develops, his way up in the future will definitely be much smoother.

Although I don't know what the specific purpose of this rubber is, but it must be a good thing that can be affirmed by His Majesty.

Thinking of this, his working movements became more agile.

After discussing with the sheriff, Wang Yuan acted quickly.

The current population of Lingnan is still too small, and there is a lot of open space. It is a breeze to set aside an area to plant rubber trees.

All the land requested by Wang Yuan was directly approved. Anyway, apart from trees, Lingnan has the most land.

There are still some small tribes here in Lingnan, but they have fully adapted to the development of Daqin in the past few years, and they have already regarded themselves as Daqin people.

This is an order from the imperial court. To work, there is wages, enough food, and some oily smell.

In the past few years, Lingnan has developed well and has enough food, but it is still relatively poor.

Zhao Qingrui's edict this time was warmly welcomed by the people here.

They have really benefited from building a school here before, especially if their children have good grades, the bonuses can catch up with their income for several months.

They also pay more attention to the matter of letting their children study. After reading, they can not only understand, but also become officials in the future. The various benefits are simply irresistible to them.

Now the factory is going to be built again, and they have only seen what the factory looks like in newspapers, and it is simply unrealistic to see it in reality.

There is a big salt factory here, but they can't go in and see it.

Now we have to build a factory and recruit a lot of people, how can we not make them excited.

As soon as the news of the construction of the factory was released, even other nearby counties and counties got the news, and the head of Guizhou rushed here to sign up.

The number of applicants increased rapidly, and it took a few days to determine the number of people. This time, tens of thousands of people were directly recruited.

With so many people, Wang Yuan was stunned.

But he quickly came back to his senses and made quick arrangements.

This time, quite a few people were brought here, and those who followed the edict also brought some technical talents and management talents, so Wang Yuan was not in a hurry.

The whole of Lingnan began to become lively. A large amount of materials were needed to build a factory. In addition to transporting them from various places, Wang Yuan also purchased a lot of materials from some merchants.

Now Zhao Qingrui, who makes cement, has been completely released, so many businessmen have settled in and built workshops to make cement.

Cement has many uses. Whether it is building houses or repairing bridges and paving roads, it is extremely strong. Many buildings in various places are gradually replaced by cement.

Even the dikes and dams used by the imperial court were replaced with cement.

The dikes and dams in various places have been strengthened, and the floods in the past two years have rarely occurred, and they have not reached the point of reporting to the court.

Cement is not expensive, so Wang Yuan bought a lot.

In addition to cement, all kinds of wood are also needed, and the most indispensable thing here in Lingnan is all kinds of wood.

Fortunately, he has always remembered Zhao Qingrui's words. After cutting down the trees, he planted some saplings, so as not to damage the environment.

All kinds of materials were quickly sent to the open space where the factory was built, and Wang Yuan had already arranged for people to start digging the foundation.

Tens of thousands of people act together, the scene is still very spectacular.

The workers are not as numb as before. Although many people are tired, they have bright smiles on their faces and are full of expectations for life.

The work here is in full swing, and Han Xin, who chased and killed pirates, also chased to Lingnan. There are many islands in the sea, and some of the people of Daqin even became pirates.

Over the past year, they have smashed several large pirate gangs.

All those arrested were sent to Yingzhou Island to mine. However, even if the arrest is stricter here, there are still pirates, but they are restrained.

"Huh? It's you? Why did you come to Lingnan?" Han Xin had the pirates tied up, and looked at Wang Yuan in surprise.

He naturally knew Wang Yuan, and Wang Yuan was valued by His Majesty, so he naturally paid more attention to those close to His Majesty.

"I was sent by His Majesty to treat the epidemic here. I was ready to go back to Xianyang after finishing my work. Your Majesty issued a new order." Wang Yuan said with a smile, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
