My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 885 Technological Explosion

After more than ten years, under the influence and transformation of Fusu, the Qin State has slowly embarked on the track of moving towards world peace.

After the problems in Nufang broke out, Lu Zhi participated in the governance and quickly sorted out a relatively humane management system that was in line with the theme elements of the era such as the factory system and the Industrial Revolution.

It is a miracle that the empire's factory system and factory civilization construction got on the right track, and it was actually started by a group of women.

But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any problem.

Because there are only two kinds of people in this world, those who rule over others and those who are ruled.

The former is a human being, while the latter is not considered a human being.

The Qin State has always governed people. All its systems, policies, and laws are designed to protect the interests of people.

If the misfortunes in the lives of every person living in Qin were heard by officials, then these misfortunes would be filed for study in the hope of resolving them as soon as possible.

The women's workshop was the first to establish the rules. Every day after sunrise, the women workers would gather and rest for an incense stick after working for an hour. At noon, they had a full hour to eat and take a lunch break. After the lunch break, they would continue to work until it was almost dark, and then they would basically finish the work.

Lu Zhi dispatched a large number of female officials and began to train female officials in the female workshop. She almost used up all her wisdom to help the emperor accomplish this great task.

Lu Zhi also patiently maintained interpersonal relationships among the workers.

The human atmosphere in the women's quarters was maintained at the highest state and the best level for a while.

Without all those messy concerns, everyone worked like a wild horse without a rein.

People are like this. Nothing is more motivating and gives you a greater sense of achievement than completing your own personality and making yourself better.

A person who is sensible and able to treat everyone equally can inspire everyone's potential.

These female relatives were all very submissive to Lu Zhi, and at least they did not dare to act recklessly on the surface.

The interesting thing is that before Lu Zhi came, these women always liked to bully each other. They would bully someone on purpose if they didn't like him. Sometimes they would even gloat over the misfortune of others.

People always blame each other, quibble over trivial matters, and attack each other.

But when Lu Zhi arrived, she was surprised.

These women, who used to quarrel and have conflicts all the time, now know how to care about each other.

The reputation of Nufang changed, and Lu Zhi's reputation began to spread in Xianyang City.

With Qin II protecting her from behind, although Lu Zhi knew that she had offended someone, she was still willing to do it.

Soon, the women's workshop completed most of the tasks.

These rules are very important. More and more female workers are joining the workforce. If there are no regulations, things like that are likely to happen.

The human heart is very subtle. The slightest thing will arouse desires and thoughts.

With unified rules, it will be easier for everyone to get things done.

It’s all thanks to Lu Zhi, otherwise the women’s brothels would still be a mess today.

The war was over, people's lives stabilized, and they began to pursue wealth and status.

More and more people are holding on to the properties in the fields with one hand, and at the same time trying to seize opportunities to get into the fields to work as soon as possible in order to earn more money for their families.

Everyone started to go further and further, faster and faster on the road to wealth.

Correspondingly, the culture of this era is also quietly changing.

Before this, Qin's culture was applicable to animals such as cattle and horses, and it was about raising livestock.

Now, due to the times and environment, Qin's culture began to include more things.

In order to serve people, some rules that were originally designed for animals and livestock have now been changed. The system has changed from serving animals to serving people.

Lu Zhi invented the Nufang factory system, which was the first clearly defined internal factory system in the Qin State and was strictly enforced.

It is of extraordinary significance and far-reaching impact.

Many generals felt happier when they saw these women united, living in harmony and peace.

Because women are the rear base of men. When the rear base is stable, these men will feel at ease. When they go out, they feel safe.

Meng Tian's wife heard about the changes in the women's quarters. Those people who liked to quarrel, gossip, and bully others have now reconciled and started to care about each other.

This kind of thing is a miracle of the world.

Especially in women's circles, what everyone likes to hear most is that there is a conflict between so-and-so and so-and-so.

It seems like this is some kind of nutritional supplement that can make you happier after eating it.

This strange news in the brothel also reached the ears of Meng Tian's wife.

To be honest, Meng Tian was not interested in the little intrigues women engage in all day long. He was unhappy when he first heard it, but after listening to it again, he actually started laughing.

Meng Tian was also a very ambitious man. Qin II trusted him so much, and Meng Tian knew that such trust was hard-won, so he naturally redoubled his efforts to live up to Qin II's trust.

Hearing that Lu Zhi had established a series of regulations, Meng Tian did not care that she was a woman, nor did he care about some bad rumors about Lu Zhi. He just learned from the experience.

He first reported his intention to the emperor, who praised his idea very much. Then Meng Tian began to establish regulations in the factories he managed.

How can you make the emperor trust you absolutely? Watch carefully, Meng Tian will only demonstrate it once.

Meng Tian personally went to the factory to investigate the conditions of the workers, gave them more rest time, and even provided them with fruit to eat.

In the Qin Dynasty, the most abundant thing was fruit, such as pears, apples, peaches, and apricots.

People had cellars and knew how to use wood ash for preservation, so many fruits could be well preserved in the cellars.

However, who would have thought of proactively providing these free resources to workers and putting them at their fingertips?

Meng Tian was the first one.

Like his father, Meng Tian was always able to consider his subordinates. Standing in such a high position, he was able to put himself in the shoes of his subordinates, seek benefits for them and give them some benefits.

This is the reason why he has always been respected by his soldiers.

Speaking of Meng Tian's military strategy, to be honest, his military tactics may not be as good as Li Xin's. He is indeed not very good at fighting.

But if it’s Meng Tian’s turn, he will never lose.

In addition to sending some fruits, Meng Tian also stipulated that the workers should be allowed to come up for some fresh air every few days.

Workers must not be allowed to live underground forever.

If an accident occurs among mining workers, the person responsible will go to jail.

……

…………

These news, like a gentle breeze, slowly nourish the times, slowly seep into people's hearts, and slowly change people's words and deeds.

Reform will only be meaningful when the goodwill and benefits truly reach the hands of the grassroots people and affect all aspects of their lives.

For the people of Qin, in fact, the happiest time in their lives was this stage.

Just like the four seasons, spring is the most beautiful because in spring, everything begins to grow and it seems that anything can happen.

In spring, everything is gentle and easy.

Just like the people at the beginning of the reform, everyone has bright eyes and hopes in their hearts, rather than vested interests. Everyone has infinite expectations for the future.

For the people of the Qin Dynasty, the best life they have ever experienced is now.

Everyone began to reflect on their past actions and changes themselves in light of the misfortunes of the past.

War scarred people's hearts and affected their lives one after another. When they were disgusted with war, they finally got rid of it and started to live a life they had never imagined before.

When chaos reaches its extreme, people's hearts will begin to become clear and their personalities will begin to change for the better.

Naturally, the social atmosphere is also the best at this time.

Everyone has concerns in their hearts, knows how to be respectful, and will behave themselves quietly and well.

The Qin State's status had not reached its peak, but it was in the process of transformation.

When all the vassal states were trembling with fear and awe at the Great Qin Empire, the Qin State was still working hard towards a stronger goal.

Since the rise of Qin II, the pride and extravagance among the high-level officials of the Qin Empire, as well as the situation of being complacent and lacking ambition, have improved a lot.

These second-generation Qin people followed Qin II and gradually forgot their past achievements in unification. They began to focus on a new thing - technology.

The court officials were originally resistant to reform, but after seeing the continuous development of science and technology, their hearts changed.

Nobles are prone to getting bored with their current lives. Why are there always talented people among nobles, especially the nobles who are best at inventions?

Because their daily material needs have long been met, when ordinary people open their eyes every day, they have to consider whether there is food at home today, and how to make money next time when they have little money in their pockets.

However, the first thing the nobles have to face when they wake up every morning is that today is another day of luxury and well-being. I am so bored. What can I do to pass the day?

You see, the poor people’s day is full of repetitive busyness, and they end up being exhausted.

Rich people have different ways of playing every day and are busy looking for new things every day.

Technology is the most stimulating and novel thing among all, and it can bring the nobles the greatest pleasure.

Investing in science and technology and developing industry are welcomed and expected by people across the country in any era.

The princes had long been convinced by the Qin State, but the Qin State still persevered and continued to invest in scientific and technological research and development.

In the third year of the Second Emperor's reign, the Qin State entered the initial stage of a technological explosion.

The Qin people began to promote assembly line production to all aspects of production and life.

Originally, assembly lines were only used in the production of crossbows and crossbow arrows, and the people were only afraid after hearing about their power.

Now, these assembly line productions have been moved out and exposed to the world.

First of all, Qin's agricultural planting entered an era of full mechanization. Various kinds of plows came into being, as did sharp plowshares and small carts made of iron sheets.

In the past, wheelbarrows were all made of wood, but now they have iron bottoms and some can be used to carry water.

Now, almost all the people of Qin, seeing the new tools in their hands, sighed and said, "Times have really changed."

The work that used to take a whole day to finish can now be done in half a day.

In addition to the explosive production brought about by the assembly line operations of these agricultural tools, all walks of life began to establish large-scale workshops and began to produce goods.

Especially pottery, pottery for production and daily use.

In the past, during wars, a clay pot could hold anything and be used extensively.

Now times have changed and people's lives have become better.

Four different jars are needed to store firewood, rice, oil and salt. A super large earthenware jar is needed to store pickles. A soup pot is needed for making soup, and a hot pot is needed for hot dishes. Originally, each person used a tile to serve rice, but now everyone has a large ceramic bowl.

Qin's products were guaranteed to be supplied to the people in a timely and sufficient manner, and prices fluctuated for a while.

The government is busy maintaining market prices. It cannot allow prices to be too low, which would hurt merchants and workers; nor can it allow prices to be too high, lest the people get angry and smash their stalls.

Once assembly line operations became popular, the new spirit of reform in the Qin Empire spread to every inch of the hearts of the people of Qin.

However, this is just the beginning.

If the Qin Empire wants to maintain its current dominant position, it must ensure absolute military strength.

War preparedness is something the Qin State is currently making great efforts to prepare in secret.

If someone thinks that there will be no more wars after Fusu ascended the throne, that is impossible.

When a country is strong and powerful enough, it will inevitably expand outward and annex other countries.

It's like in a group of people, there is one person who is extremely powerful, exceptionally strong and superior. Even if he has no intention to hurt others, he may hurt others if he just says a few words. And in most cases, when you are the big brother, you always have to collect protection fees.

this is the truth.

Now that the Qin State is powerful, it can just move its hands and knock the capitals of other countries off the map and replace them with its own doorman.

The Qin State, which is more sensible, will not make things difficult for those obedient small countries.

The key is South Vietnam and the Hu people in the north.

These two are absolutely tough guys. Once they become strong and see Qin is unprepared, they will strike back.

For this reason, the Qin State was also conducting active defense. The so-called active defense means that once the other side shows signs of opening fire, the Qin State will send troops to destroy them.

And this is another specialty of the Qin Dynasty's era of technological explosion - gunpowder weapons.

Since Fusu came to the Qin Dynasty, Qin's gunpowder equipment has become more and more mature and complete.

Fire caltrops were originally advanced weapons on the battlefield of the Qin State, but in the third year of the reign of Qin II, the Qin State had the ability to produce explosives and incendiary bombs in large quantities.

Explosives, this is a good thing. One explosive pack is equivalent to a team of twenty people.

With this guy, Qin's combat power will triple. (End of this chapter)
