"How long, two hours?"

"Are you sure it's not two days?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Tuo in disbelief.

It took only two hours for such a big, hard stone wall? how can that be?

Zhao Tuo didn't speak, but Meng Yi on the side did explain: "Shang Huang, the minister and the general Wang have been here all the time."

"This wall... it was indeed built two hours ago."

"Unbelievable, incredible!"

Ying Zheng stared at the small pile of cement that remained.

As the former first emperor of Qin Dynasty, he was keenly aware that this cement...will bring earth-shaking changes to Da Qin!

Coincidentally, Ying Zheng was not the only one who realized some clues at this moment.

Feng Quji on the side also suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty! Could it be that you asked me to deal with the reduction of corvée because of this cement?"

"That's right!"

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth raised slightly.

But Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard the news of the reduction of corvée.

It's just that after taking a look at the cement, he didn't say much.

"Do you know how this cement is made? What is the cost?"

The crowd naturally shook their heads.

"I hope Your Majesty will make it clear."

"To make this cement, only three raw materials are needed: one is lime powder, the second is clay surface, and the third is fine sand ground from slag."

"As for the production process, the cement ash can be made by simply mixing the lime powder clay surface and firing it, and then adding slag."

Wang Ben, who was on the side, blurted out subconsciously, "Isn't that... extremely cheap?"

The eyes of the rest of the people gradually lit up.

Lime powder and stone workshops are treated as waste.

The clay surface is all over the place.

Slag, which is also useless before this.

Aside from the need for a firing process, this cement is basically...no cost!

At this moment, everyone present realized it.

This cement... I am afraid it will completely change the status quo of Daqin, and even save Daqin from fire and water!

In today's Daqin, corvée is heavy.

The most important reason is because of the construction of the Great Wall, Afang, Mausoleum and Chidao.

In today's Daqin construction of city walls, the foundation is constantly rammed with loess, and the rice soup is irrigated.

A small section of the city wall requires dozens of people to wield tools day and night to build it continuously for several days.

Time-consuming.

It is even more necessary to take out the rice soup that the people who starved to death could not drink, and poured the city wall.

exhausted.

starved.

Those are real people!

What has been accumulated is also full of resentment towards Da Qin!

In addition, these hundreds of thousands of corvée had to eat every day.

Hundreds of thousands of mouths, how much food do you have to consume in a day?

These burdens are not carried by Xianyang Palace or Da Qin?

And how much of the land in Daqin was abandoned due to the lack of young and strong labor.

More consumption, less tax.

No matter how powerful a country is, it cannot withstand such consumption.

And Daqin, that is how to decline day by day.

But...if this cement was used in the construction of the Great Wall, Afang, and Mausoleum.

Then everything will change completely!

With this cement, the construction difficulty of each project will be greatly reduced, and the progress will be greatly accelerated!

There is less need, and even the prisoners in Lishan can undertake the construction of these projects.

As for the remaining corvée, they can be sent back to their hometowns individually!

Reclamation, farming, breeding...

Taxes rise and spending falls.

From negative to positive!

The entire Daqin will be completely changed for it!

"Fantastic! This is a real fetish! My Daqin... is saved!"

Ying Zheng squatted down and looked at the pool of cement in front of him with red eyes.

For many days and nights, Da Qin's predicament made him unable to sleep.

I can only extravagantly ask for longevity and rely on my own power to shock the world.

Now... Da Qin finally found a way out of the predicament!

"Good! Good!"

"Really God bless me Daqin!"

"Ding, Ying Zheng was impressed by the influence of cement on Daqin, and gained reputation points: 12,0000 points"

"Ding, discovering the influence of cement on Daqin, Meng Yi and others admired the five-body throw to the ground, and gained reputation points: 8, 9000 points"

! ! !

Zhao Tuo was startled.

Good guy, worthy of being the first emperor Ying Zheng.

The prestige points provided by him alone are as high as 100,000 points, which is more than Meng Yi and others put together.

Seeing that the balance has grown to more than 700,000 reputation points

Zhao Tuo couldn't help but open the system mall to search.

"Universal education...Papermaking, I look at..."

[Elementary Papermaking]: 132,0000 reputation points.

The production methods of the base paper types are recorded.

Note: Paper has played an important role in the inheritance of world culture, and its early appearance will completely change the world, so it is of great value.

"Good guy, 1.32 million?"

Zhao Tuo rubbed his temples.

Sure enough, he was a little too naive.

"It seems that it is still necessary to speed up the production of a large amount of cement as planned, and then cut down on corvée to earn a wave of prestige."

"Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"Nothing..." Zhao Tuo shook his head, looked at Feng Quji and said, "Feng Xiang, now that the trial production of this cement has been successful, we will need to produce it in large numbers."

"You will draft an edict for me, ordering the general Zuo Shaofu to set up a special workshop to burn a large amount of cement ash."

"Here!"

Feng Quji said goodbye and left.

And the remaining Ying Zheng, Meng Yi and others, after seeing the cement, they didn't stay too much when they saw nothing happened.

When the hustle and bustle dissipated, Zhao Tuo saw that there was no one around, and a few jumped to the top of the hall, overlooking the distant scenery.

Looking at the distant horizon, the constantly changing "Qi" in the perspective of Qi Watching

The look on Zhao Tuo's face became a little playful.

"Calculate the time, if the remnants of the Six Nations are not stupid, they should have planned to take this opportunity to rise up?"

"If they're smart, they may even use the previous visions of heaven and earth to blow it up and win the hearts of the people."

"Maybe while they are waiting for a large number of corvés to return home, they will also gather a large number of people to fight against the Qin army."

"I just hope you can be smart and don't really do this."

The smile on Zhao Tuo's mouth gradually spread.

"Otherwise... it would be too boring to fall into the dug hole so easily."*
