Just as Xiao He was enjoying it, Fusu also came into the workshop.
Ever since Fusu moved out of the palace, he no longer had to come out of the palace with Zhao Jun every day. He would go directly to the workshop or the Neishi Mansion to find her.
"Sir, I heard from people outside that you were walking down the street early this morning sitting on something strange. This is it."
As soon as he walked in, he saw Xiao He gathered around something, so he asked.
"It was only this morning that the news started to spread. That's it, you see."
Fusu also joined Xiao He in watching the scene.
"Sir, is this wheel made of the gloves I bought from Mr. Luo before?"
He squatted on the ground and touched the black wheel.
"Smart, that's it."
Zhao Jun nodded in response.
Fusu looked at her for a while before walking over to Zhao Jun and talking to her about other things.
"General Meng Tian returned to Shangjun yesterday."
"I know. I even gave him a letter and asked him to bring it to Qingliu when he passed through the Northland."
Zhao Jun sat aside and replied.
The New Year has passed, the cold winter is coming to an end, and it is time for everyone to do their part in the bright spring weather.
"Sir, I discovered that this wheel is indeed the most critical part of this car."
"I've never seen anything made of this material before. The eldest master just said he bought it from a merchant."
"Where did you get it specifically? If I want to buy it, where should I go?"
Xiao He walked up to them from the side of the car and asked excitedly.
"this……"
Fusu glanced at Zhao Jun and replied.
"I heard from that merchant that he got it from Nanhai County. He only went there once, so it's definitely sold out if I want to buy it now."
"Nanhai County?!"
Xiao He murmured.
"Sir, can I go to Nanhai County?"
Xiao He stared at Zhao Jun excitedly.
Zhao Jun glanced at him indifferently and answered lightly.
"no."
"Why?"
Xiao He asked back.
"Don't get too excited, let me tell you."
"First and foremost, Nanhai County is too far away. I don't know how many months it will take to get there, how many places we will have to pass through, and whether the journey will be dangerous."
"Secondly, the climate in Nanhai County is very different from ours. It's very easy for ordinary people to get sick there, and if they're not careful, they could die."
"Third, although that area is Qin territory, it is remote and has many local ethnic minorities, so Qin's rule is relatively weak there."
"Fourth, even if we get the rubber back now, we can't put it into large-scale use."
"So, we have to go to Nanhai County, but not at this time."
"When I decide to go to Nanhai County, I will definitely bring a large number of soldiers with me and be well prepared. This time I will not only take rubber but also other good things from the South China Sea."
Zhao Jun told him his ideas one by one.
Xiao He also slowly calmed down his excitement. After careful consideration, he realized that going to Nanhai County was indeed not something that could be accomplished overnight.
"Yes, sir, I understand."
Xiao He quickly figured out the key and nodded in acceptance.
"Sir, the spring plowing season is approaching. Are you still going to Hanzhong County this year?"
Fusu suddenly asked.
He knew that the gentleman had gone to Hanzhong County last year and stayed there for a long time.
If my husband goes there this year, I can go with him.
"No, last year was the first year we planted corn, sweet potatoes, and other crops, and I was worried the people didn't have the experience. But last year's crop yields were very encouraging, so this year I won't go in person. I'll just let Wang Deng go around and take a look."
I won’t go, Fusu felt regretful for a while.
"Well, my plan this year is not to go anywhere and just stay in Xianyang."
This is the result of Zhao Jun's careful consideration.
Although Xianyang's business is now very prosperous, there are still too few workshops that can make money.
Only the papermaking workshop has a big head.
So this year she plans to open a few more workshops in Xianyang to take Xianyang's economy to the next level.
Then go somewhere else in the next few years.
There were only four years left before Ying Zheng unified the six kingdoms.
She still has a lot to do in four years.
A few days later, Zhao Jun, who had made plans, appeared at the morning court again.
And Ying Zheng also happened to announce a big event today.
In 225 BC, the State of Wei was completely destroyed. In the same year, Ying Zheng decided to launch a war against the State of Chu.
After Wang Jian and others rested for a few months, hundreds of thousands of troops began to march towards the border of Chu State.
The next time they return with another great victory, it will be the time when the State of Chu will be destroyed.
The King of Zhao also made suggestions to Ying Zheng together with Meng Yi at this court meeting.
"Your Majesty, let's first talk about the use of coal. It's now a household name in Xianyang, and its convenience is obvious to all."
"So I think over the next year, states and counties will need to identify the locations of coal mines within their jurisdictions and send specialized teams to protect them."
"In Xianyang, a special department headed by Lord Meng Yi will be established to oversee coal mining throughout the country. Each prefecture and county will report and grant permission before logging can begin."
"At the same time, I will lead the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to resolve the tax issues related to coal."
"In the next year, the mining and use of coal will benefit the entire country."
In the hall, the Lord of Zhao methodically made suggestions to Ying Zheng, while Meng Yi also supplemented them.
Regardless of what Ying Zheng was thinking, many people in the hall had already started to have other thoughts in their minds.
It is foreseeable that mining this coal mine will be a lucrative business.
Now the Lord of Zhao said that Meng Yi would be in charge directly.
Then can I get a share of the pie?
Many people wanted to speak up, but it was probably unlikely that they would say they wanted to take over coal mining at this time.
Many people had other thoughts.
Look how foresighted Meng Yi was in establishing a good relationship with Zhao Jun, and now he has a lucrative job.
Then I should quickly put aside my past grudges and give this person a hug.
Zhao Jun had no idea what these people were thinking.
Because Ying Zheng had already agreed to her proposal.
"What Zhao Qing said makes sense, like this."
"Now, in addition to the Nine Ministers, a special coal mining office has been established, with Meng Yi as the director of the coal mining office, in charge of all coal mining matters throughout the country."
Ying Zheng announced in a deep voice, and then spoke to Meng Yi.
"Meng Yi, you are in charge of the Coal Administration. If we need to recruit new officials, just report directly."
"Your humble servant thanks the king for his grace."
Meng Yi knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.
The other officials present were a little confused, even Li Si was a little shocked.
This was the first time in Qin history that a separate department was established outside the Nine Ministers.
Is it possible that the Nine Ministers System that has been in operation for a long time is finally going to be torn apart?
