The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 449 Training Fusu
After testing the armor, Richard took out two more things.

"Master, what is this?"

"Horseshoes, Takahashi saddles, and stirrups!"

"What are these three things for?"

"To put it simply, horseshoes are shoes for horse hooves, and stirrups and saddles are designed to make riding easier and more labor-saving, making it easier to control the horse and freeing up both hands."

When the First Emperor heard this, he instantly realized the importance of these three things.

"Someone, go get a horse."

Soon the groom brought a warhorse, and Richard instructed the groom to fix the horse's hooves and then nail horseshoes on the horse. After the horseshoes were installed, he also asked someone to put a saddle and stirrups on the horse.

During the Qin Dynasty, the saddle used was a low-bridge saddle, which served as a cushion, while the high-bridge saddle could hold the cavalry's body, making it difficult for the cavalry to fall off the horse. Combined with the stirrup, it would be easier for people to control the warhorse.

Soon after the warhorse was dressed in the cavalry suit, the soldiers next to it began to try it out. The soldiers rode the warhorse quickly on the parade ground, and at the same time they could shoot arrows on horseback with both hands.

After testing it, the soldier dismounted and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, with these things, it is very easy to control a warhorse, and riding it is much easier. At the same time, weapons can be used with both hands. With these equipment, every Qin cavalryman can ride and shoot with both hands!"

Hearing this, the First Emperor immediately mounted the horse himself and rode it at full speed to experience it. As expected, after riding the warhorse, he immediately felt the difference.

In the past, riding a horse was very difficult, as one had to clamp one's legs against the horse's belly, and it was also inconvenient to use a weapon at the same time. But now it has become very easy. The First Emperor was in a good mood, so he simply held the reins with one hand and drew the long sword from his waist with the other.

"All the soldiers, follow me to pacify the world!"

At this time, the First Emperor was riding on his warhorse, full of enthusiasm and vigor. The soldiers around him responded one after another.

For a time, the parade ground was filled with swords and spears, and heroic spirit soared to the sky.

Finally, the First Emperor finished the test, dismounted, and said, "Master, these things have made my Qin cavalry invincible!"

"Oh, and there's the horseshoe. Someone, come and lift up the horse's hoof and take a look at it."

The groom next to him quickly lifted the horse's hoof and saw that it was intact.

"The function of horseshoes is to protect the horseshoes, so that even if the warhorse accidentally steps on a small stone while running, it will not cause the horse to stumble. At the same time, it also prevents the warhorse from having to be killed because of severe wear and tear of the horseshoes."

"With these three horseshoes, the cavalry's strength will be greatly enhanced!" The First Emperor said happily, but he soon thought of something and immediately ordered: "All horseshoes, saddles, and stirrups are sealed up, and today's events are not allowed to be spread out! If anyone dares to spread it, they will be torn to pieces!"

"Yes!" Everyone's faces stiffened and they immediately bowed.

"Also, order the 30,000 cavalrymen in the Lantian camp to set up camp in Shanglin Garden! No one is allowed to approach without my order!"

The First Emperor soon realized that the three-piece cavalry suit would have an immediate effect on the improvement of the cavalry's strength, but these three items had almost no technical content, and you would know it as long as you looked at them once. Others would naturally make this three-piece cavalry suit.

Therefore, if you want to unleash the maximum power of the cavalry three-piece set, you must keep it secret. Try to keep it as secret as possible before using it, so that it can have the final say when you use it.

The First Emperor immediately thought of this problem and recalled all the cavalry from the Lantian camp.

Shanglinyuan is a royal garden and the place where Emperor Qin Shihuang went hunting. It has a large area and is suitable for cavalry training.

After returning to the Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor seemed to have not yet recovered from his excitement.

"From now on, I will build a real Qin cavalry. When the time comes, the cavalry will come and go like the wind. What will the Huns fear? What can the southern barbarians use to resist my cavalry!"

Richard smiled in his heart. With these equipments and the Tianxing Flying Boat, the Qin soldiers could conquer any land.

Maybe the Qin Dynasty in this world can really unify the world and become the ruler of the Earth!
Such a small earth can be divided into more than 200 countries. How could the First Emperor allow this to happen?

Then, other workshops supervised by Richard also began to produce. The papermaking workshop produced paper suitable for writing, and the printing workshop also completed woodblock printing and movable type printing.

Richard had a set of books printed with movable type, and then sent the books to the Xianyang Palace. When he saw the back of these books, the First Emperor was extremely surprised.

For a long time, books were only kept in the hands of a few people. Moreover, books were difficult to write. A book of hundreds of thousands of words could be recorded in a dozen or twenty scrolls. But now, it can be done with just a thin book. This is a groundbreaking move for the spread of knowledge.

Why couldn't the Qin Dynasty completely control the six kingdoms? On the one hand, it was because of the long distance and the obstruction of the nobles of the six kingdoms, and on the other hand, it was because there were not enough officials.

Even though the country had been unified for more than a decade, the Qin State still had not trained enough officials. Without enough officials, it would be impossible to control local power.

Rights do not disappear, they only transfer. When the Qin court does not control these rights, they will be stolen by others. The survivors of the six kingdoms took advantage of the fact that there were not enough officials in the court and they could not control so many positions, so they had to delegate power.

Now that they have these books, the imperial court can cultivate enough talents. These talents can extend the power of the Qin imperial court further downwards.

Qin law was formulated very rigorously. Although the sentencing was too heavy in many places, it was not as harsh as imagined. However, the people who enforced Qin law were the people. As a result, there was no one who was familiar with Qin law in a county. How could you let the officials enforce Qin law?
Therefore, there must be enough talents so that the court can control the world.

With Richard's help, Qin's technology trees were lit up one after another. The emergence of the traditional blast furnace increased Qin's iron production dramatically, allowing Qin to enter the Iron Age at high speed. Bronze weapons and equipment began to be rapidly eliminated.

After it was no longer used as a weapon, bronze began to be cast into copper coins in large quantities. When Qin Shihuang unified the weights and measures and the writing system, this practice promoted the prosperity of commerce, but it also caused a problem: the shortage of coins.

The Qin half-liang coins were not enough.

Because the bronze used to make coins can also be made into weapons and equipment, the number of coins minted by each country was not large. After Emperor Qin Shihuang abolished the coins of the six countries, the supply of coins in the world became tight.

Now that iron is used to make weapons, bronze will soon be phased out of weaponry and become real money. With more money, commerce will naturally begin to flourish.

With the advent of papermaking and printing, the emergence of a large number of books is foreseeable. At that time, knowledge will spread and the number of officials in the court will increase rapidly. Combined with powerful military force, the court's control over the local areas will become increasingly stronger in the next few decades.

Richard also illuminated the production of porcelain and glass, which will soon appear on the market. These items can improve people's living standards and can also be sold.

In addition to these, the development of steam dynamics and mechanical transmission also led to the emergence of various tools and machines in the Qin Dynasty. It is unknown when they will be able to develop a steam engine.

Once the steam engine appeared, the Qin Dynasty would enter the fast lane of development.

Perhaps one or two hundred years later, the Qin Dynasty would have completed the Industrial Revolution, while humans in other parts of the world would still be in the Bronze Age or even the Barbaric Age.

After Fusu visited various places and saw the lives of the people, he thought a lot about governing the country. The Zhou rituals that he regarded as the guiding principles were not suitable for the times in the eyes of the people.

Just like the mourning period. The common people need to travel around and farm to support their families. If they really go to mourn, what will happen if the world is barren? What if the court levies labor service?
There is also the so-called well-field system. How to divide the fields and how to ensure the output of public fields? How will the children divide the family in the future? There is also the issue of criminal law. Confucianism does not attach importance to criminal law, but attaches more importance to ritual law. It wants to rule the country by ritual law, but how to define this ritual law? Customs vary from place to place. How to use ritual law in this case?

Various problems made him have many doubts about Zhou Li, and Zhou Li really did not adapt to the times.

If it really adapted to the times, it would not have been abandoned by the princes.

In the end, Fusu thought a lot and then went to see Richard again.

"Master, which of Confucianism, Legalism, or Mohism is more suitable for governing the country?" Prince Fusu's eyes were full of confusion.

"Young Master, why do you have to dwell on the differences between Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism?" Richard shook his head and said, "The Qin Dynasty unified the world and was able to accommodate the six kingdoms, so it was natural that it could accommodate all the schools of thought."

"The way to govern a country cannot be accomplished by any one of the Confucian, Legalist, Mohist, Taoist and other schools. Each of these schools has its own advantages and disadvantages. If we want to govern a country, we cannot limit ourselves to one school, but must be inclusive, learn from the strengths of all schools and discard their weaknesses!"

"To impose harsh laws and punishments blindly is not to govern the country, and to be lenient and lenient is even less to govern the country. A balance of leniency and severity is the way to govern the world. Each school of thought has its merits,"

"Just like the Tiangongyuan, can you let Confucian disciples manage the research? They only know the so-called "zhihuzheya". Can they make a machine? Can they make a spinning wheel?"

"To command the army, can you let the Taoist go? You must use the military strategist to lead the army and conquer the world."

“Governing a country is about putting the right people in the right positions.”

"This is how the Qin State should be now. Although the Legalists can strengthen the country, they are too oppressive to the people. The people must be given time to recuperate."

"The Qin Dynasty has its own system, which is a mixture of the ways of kings and hegemons, taking the strengths of hundreds of schools and discarding their weaknesses!"
