I bring the system to tease Shihuang to engage in infrastructure construction

With a wave of his hand, Ying Zheng was ready to ask Li Si to capture [-] workers and prisoners.

Zhao Jun was stunned.

Good guy, this guy is really generous.

"Wait a minute, my king, don't worry, listen to me first."

Zhao Jun quickly stopped him.

She was really afraid that if she wasn't careful, Ying Zheng would kill all the young adults in the country.

Isn’t this the case in history?

"What's wrong, aren't you anxious?"

Ying Zheng frowned. She obviously looked anxious, but why did she tell herself not to be anxious?

"I'm not in a hurry, just listen to me first."

Zhao Jun held him down and the two sat opposite each other.

"What I mean is this. First we have to lay the tracks. How to lay the tracks? Let's not think about people first."

"First of all, you need skills. That's no problem. Let the Mohist craftsmen teach you, and everyone should be able to do it."

"Then there are materials. A lot of iron is used to lay the track. Juzi already has advanced iron smelting methods, so this is not a big problem."

"The last thing is the line. This track requires a lot of manpower and material resources. How do we plan to repair it? Which road should we repair first? Do we need to think carefully about this?"

"There has to be a person in charge, right? I can't keep an eye on the construction of the track, so who will be in charge of this matter?"

"Finally, let's talk about people. The current population, especially the young and middle-aged people, is so precious. We may have to repair a lot of things in the future. We can't waste it. We can't use up the crops and kill them."

"Then we can't use force to arrest them. We have to recruit workers. I'm sure those workers will be willing to work on the next project after they finish this project, right?"

Zhao Jun spoke earnestly for a long time, and listed several questions by the way.

"Your Majesty, what do you say?"

She looked at the other side with sincere eyes.

"Can you let go first?"

Ying Zheng glanced down.

Just now, in order to stop him, Zhao Jun pressed his hands on his sleeves.

Zhao Jun noticed it when he said this, and immediately pulled back his hand and smiled obediently.

"Are you the kind of brainless person? Don't I know the value of labor?"

He glared at Zhao Jun.

"These [-] workers can be selected from the military."

"The number of wars in the Qin State has decreased in the past two years, and it should be even less after the fall of the Qi State. Many soldiers cannot go to the battlefield, and the lack of promotion paths has already made them very uneasy."

"You know that a large part of Qin's strength comes from its military meritocracy, but with the reduction of wars, there are still so many soldiers, and there are not that many titles for promotion. It's hard to say what will happen to them in the future."

Ying Zheng sighed.

"That's why I decided to let soldiers with such free time at home do this work, and just give them some compensation."

"Oh~"

Zhao Jun let out a long oh, indicating that he understood.

"If that's the case, then it'll be no problem. We're specifically recruiting people within the military this time, and we'll provide them with some normal benefits. Then it'll be no problem."

Zhao Jun turned his head and felt that this method was quite feasible.

"I will be formulating a detailed recruitment standard later on."

"Well, did you think that I was too stupid before?"

He glanced sideways at Zhao Jun with a bad tone.

Zhao Jun lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

"Besides, what you just asked is to find a person in charge of this matter. You already have a candidate in mind."

Ying Zheng began to answer the questions she just asked one by one.

Zhao Jun is serious. "There are only a few people I know, and the only one I can choose is Meng Yi."

"Although this technology was developed by the Mo family, Juzi and the others are only interested in research and have no intention of caring about it."

"I'm thinking that this will require iron and coal, so why don't we get along with Meng Yi? Let him supervise the construction, and let the workers do the construction."

She thought about the people she was familiar with, and this was the only one who was free and qualified.

"Well, let me talk to Meng Yi later and let him do it."

Ying Zheng directly agreed to her suggestion, and the candidate was finalized.

"Then the focus of today is the route. Your Majesty, you have to decide which section of road we will build first."

"Of course, I have already decided on this starting point, which is right outside the gate of the university in Xianyang."

She fiddled with it for a while and took out a map from her clothes.

"Your Majesty, take a look."

Zhao Jun unfolded the map, and a small black dot was drawn on the location outside Xianyang City.

"Why should we start from the entrance of this school?"

Ying Zheng took the map and looked at it for a while. Although he thought there was nothing wrong with her starting point, he still asked.

"Uh... This, I just want to create a buzz for our university. It can be considered an advertisement."

"Your Majesty, think about it, those students from other places must not know about this thing. But as soon as they came to Qin State to go to university, they saw such a rare behemoth. They immediately respected our Qin State."

Zhao Jun began to boast.

"Well, you're right."

Ying Zheng felt very happy and nodded proudly.

He stared at the map for a while and quickly pointed to a location.

"I think this is the most suitable ending point for the first place."

His fingertips touched a location in the corner of the map.

There is, Shangjun.

"You just said that this steam locomotive is not only fast, but can also carry people and goods. Shangjun is the border of Qin State, and it is also where General Meng Tian is stationed all year round."

"In the future, we plan to build the Great Wall across the entire border. If this road is opened, it will be very convenient to transport grain and grass supplies in the future."

Zhao Jun thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"It's up to the king to decide. I have no objection. This route is very long and spans almost half of the Qin Kingdom. Anyway, it will pass through many places in the middle. We can also build a few temporary stops in the middle."

Zhao Jun drew it on the map with a pen.

Afterwards, the two had a detailed discussion on the specific route and terrain conditions.

"Okay, that's it for now. Your Majesty, you'd better talk to Meng Yi as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way, and I will sort out the recruitment details for road construction when I go back today."

"We have to recruit workers in the army quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

After the discussion, Zhao Jun packed up his things and prepared to leave.

She is very busy.

"You said you weren't in a hurry."

Seeing that look, Ying Zheng couldn't help but raise his forehead and complain.

"Of course I am not in a hurry for the subsequent construction, but the starting point at the entrance of the university must be repaired quickly, otherwise my university will open soon. How can I build momentum after this time."

"Your Majesty, I will leave first."

After she replied, she ran out without looking back.

Ying Zheng looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.

"This guy is really getting more and more unruly."
