Chapter 174 Zi Gao Ambition
"In a few days, you will take all the clan members and descendants who are thirteen years old or older to the military camp for training. Instruct them not to give them any special treatment. They will all be treated the same as new recruits."
My children are all training in the army, and you guys are still trying to stir up trouble.
"promise."
Fusu accepted the order happily.
The clan members, who had originally thought that the matter was over, welcomed the prince to their home a few days later.
Afterwards, the children in the family were taken to the military camp one by one, and no matter how reluctant they were, it was of no use.
Who dares to disobey your Majesty's orders?
And the clan leader is also watching from the side. If he doesn't want to, he can just remove his clan member status.
The little bullies in the family were taken away one by one.
It was only after they arrived at the military camp that their unbearable suffering began.
After some rectification, the clan members have all become obedient.
If there is a spoiled child in a family, other families will teach their own children not to have contact with him.
I’m afraid that they will be led to do something wrong without their knowledge, and that it will eventually bring trouble to my family.
After this incident, Your Majesty's status in the hearts of the people of Xianyang has been further elevated.
Officials were also more respected by the people.
Everything is going in a good direction.
"My Lord, everyone has been arranged."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
Ever since Zhuo Ban and his colleagues' affairs were handed over to Xianyang Ling, Zhang Yuanqing asked Ada to arrange for Zhuo Ban's parents and brothers to work in the workshop.
Otherwise, those relatives of His Majesty will not let their family go.
As for Zhuo Ban, Zhang Yuanqing could only ask the college teachers to take better care of him.
Don't be bullied by those children of the aristocracy.
This is also the reason why the Zhuoban family can live in peace.
"My Lord, the woolen quilt has been made."
Qingque walked in with his men, followed by a servant holding a thin blanket.
The lake blue cloth is embroidered with green bamboo, which looks very elegant. Even the water droplets on the bamboo leaves are faintly visible.
Zhang Yuanqing stood up and walked over, raised his hand and touched the quilt, which was soft and comfortable.
I sniffed it and there was no strange smell.
"good."
"If the craftsmen knew that the Marquis praised them so highly, they would surely be so happy that they would eat more."
Qingque's cheerful voice made the smile on Zhang Yuanqing's face more obvious.
"Prepare the car and enter the palace."
"promise."
Zhang Yuanqing quickly drove into Zhangtai Palace in a carriage.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Qing quickly stand up and sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I have come here to present something to Your Majesty."
"What is it?"
Not only Ying Zheng was curious, but Fusu and his brothers also put down their pens and looked at Zhang Yuanqing curiously.
"Your Majesty, I previously asked the Mohists to research how to use wool, and we've made some progress."
"Clothing made of wool is extremely warm. Now the Mo family has improved their technology and produced a wool blanket."
"I have brought a quilt with me, Your Majesty, please take a look."
"allow."
Shi Yi respectfully came in with his men, holding a folded woolen blanket and presented it to His Majesty.
Thanks to the Mohists, Qin's textile and tie-dyeing techniques have been greatly improved.
Ying Zheng lifted a corner of the quilt, and the fluffy feel made him feel very comfortable.
It's definitely different from the wool blanket I used before.
"Your Majesty, General Li Mu conquered the Xiongnu territory, and now large areas of grassland are deserted. I find it a pity."
"I think Your Majesty could assign someone specifically to manage the breeding of cattle and sheep. These cattle and sheep not only provide meat for the people, but also provide nourishing milk, and their fur has many uses."
"Just like this woolen blanket, if you raise more sheep, you can make it in large quantities, so that people can have more things to keep warm in winter."
"allow."
"Sir, who do you think can handle this matter?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Zigao has served Your Majesty in handling state affairs for many years. He is calm and honest. I believe you can send Prince Zigao and send a few court officials to assist him."
"We can also bring some craftsmen with us to open a textile factory in the northern border. Not only will this generate income for the people of the northern border, but the clothing and bedding produced can also be sold in Qin, increasing revenue for the treasury."
When Zigao heard the teacher recommending him, he clenched his hands excitedly.
As the second child of his father, Zigao has been studious since childhood. However, after his father left the Qin State, he would only devote a little time to his eldest brother. As for him, he could only follow behind his eldest brother and be overshadowed by his eldest brother's brilliance.
If it weren't for the arrival of the teacher later, which made my father and elder brother change a lot, I'm afraid I would rarely even see my father.
Now he finally has the opportunity to share the worries of the Qin State and his father and show his talents.
Zigao was so excited that he could hardly suppress the joy in his heart.
Ying Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at his son expectantly.
"Is Zigao willing?"
Zi Gao stood up and said, "Father, I am willing. Although I am not as good as my elder brother, I also want to share your worries and contribute to the strength of Qin."
Ying Zheng looked at Zi Gao in silence for a moment, "Okay, my child is definitely not incompetent."
A good word made Zi Gao look up happily at Ying Zheng in surprise.
They have all forgotten the etiquette they learned since childhood.
"Brother Zigao is so happy."
Fusu chuckled and spoke aside.
Zi Gao reacted: "Thank you, father."
"Get up. Since you have this intention, you must do your job well."
"promise."
Afterwards, the emperor and his ministers discussed the ministers who would go, and before dusk, Zhang Yuanqing left Zhangtai Palace in a carriage.
In the next few days, Zigao was busy packing his things and asking questions to his teacher.
Five days later, he set out with his men in a mighty force.
At this time in the northern border, the young and strong men of the Xiongnu and Donghu peoples had been arranged to build roads, and the remaining women and children stayed on the grassland to raise cattle, sheep, and horses.
Later, many Korean slaves joined.
These people now have no dedicated people to manage them, but Li Mu has arranged soldiers to guard them.
After Zi Gao arrived with his men, he began to understand the situation of these slaves.
Then, everyone was arranged reasonably.
And a series of reward and punishment systems have been established.
The slaves did not dare to resist. Although they had to do more work, if they did a good job, they would receive a lot of rewards. Moreover, those who performed well could be granted Qin household registration.
With Qin household registration, they were no longer slaves but Qin people and could be treated the same as Qin people.
Such good news made many slaves very happy.
Everyone served the livestock more attentively.
At the same time, as the scale of breeding expanded, Zigao and his people began to build a factory.
This place will be used to process sheepskin and cowhide in the future to make clothes and quilts.
The people in the north responded positively.
The recruitment went smoothly.
In Xianyang City.
General Wang Ben in Kuaiji finally brought good news.
The Daqin No. 1 giant ship was built.
The Mohists had completed their experiments at sea, and the ship carrying 3,000 soldiers returned successfully after two days of sailing on the sea.
No accidents occurred during this period.
When the news reached Xianyang, Ying Zheng immediately summoned Zhang Yuanqing.
