225 BC, the year passed very quickly.
But the changes this year have also been huge.
The work of the Coal Administration is going smoothly.
Now coal mines have been discovered in more than a dozen large counties of the Qin State, including Hanzhong County, Shang County, Beidi County, and Taiyuan County.
Among them, the coal mines mined in Taiyuan County were the most shocking.
Taiyuan County had the largest number of coal mines in the Qin State.
Many main cement roads were also paved between the Ministry of Works and the various prefectures and counties.
Several official roads from Xianyang to Hanzhong County, Beidi County, Nanyang County, Hedong County, and Yingchuan County have all been paved.
At this point, the roads from Xianyang to the three main directions of Qin State have become much more convenient.
It’s the same year.
Ying Zheng sent many generals including Wang Jian and Li Xin to besiege the State of Chu.
However, he encountered stubborn resistance from the State of Chu.
Among the six states, Chu had the strongest economic and military strength and the largest territory.
Ying Zheng had already anticipated that this war would not be easy.
What's more, the general who led this desperate defensive battle of Chu was Xiang Yan.
Ying Zheng had also heard of Xiang Yan's bravery in leading troops.
The obstacles encountered on the front battlefield did not affect Zhao Jun at all.
Because she knew that next year Wang Jian would defeat Xiang Yan, Xiang Yan would commit suicide, and the State of Chu would be destroyed.
But there is only less than a year left, she can still wait.
What's more, she doesn't know much about things like war and killing.
But this year, the economic work she deployed in the rear went smoothly.
Corn and sweet potatoes, two economic crops, have basically spread across most areas of the Qin State, and the harvest is very good.
Hanzhong County also achieved a very good harvest of terraced potatoes last year.
This year, some areas in Hanzhong County also began to grow potatoes, and the practice gradually spread to other counties.
The existing food and clothing problems in Qin State have basically been solved.
In Beidi County, Zhao Jun received many letters from Qingliu this year.
This year, the Northland has further expanded the amount of cotton planting, and the entire Northland is almost covered with cotton.
The Shumian workshop is operating normally, and the female workers have completely transformed into skilled workers.
She also had her eyes on a few girls, including the girl with her younger sister that Zhao Jun remembered.
Qingliu thinks highly of her and is currently training her intensively.
The development of the border trade is also very stable, and the current level of liveliness in the north has increased significantly compared to last year.
Now Qingliu is leading her female workers to study the suggestions made by Zhao Jun earlier.
Zhao Jun hadn't mentioned it before because he didn't have the conditions. In fact, there are many families raising sheep in the north, and there are also large areas of shepherds outside the Great Wall.
In fact, they can also find ways to make woolen sweaters, which are more warming.
However, Zhao Jun didn't have enough energy to study it, so he left it to Qingliu and the female workers to figure it out on their own.
Zhao Jun didn't know how lively the north was now.
But during the year she was in Xianyang, she saw how lively Xianyang became.
The papermaking workshop is still running smoothly.
Fusu has fully mastered his skills and is now in charge of manufacturing matters in the glass workshop.
In addition to glass cups, many other uses for glass have been developed.
The most important of these are glass windows.
Now Fusu is keeping a close eye on the production of glass windows, planning to replace all the windows in his mansion with glass.
With these two money-making beasts, the Neishi Mansion truly made a fortune every day.
In addition to these two workshops, the fish pond that was previously funded by the government and mainly managed by Qi Min and his wife was also subcontracted out according to Zhao Jun's previous idea.
In addition to the Qi couple, several other families also joined the fish pond contracting business.
Thanks to Qi Min's experience, the fish pond also had a rich harvest this year.
The contracted households all made money, and the people of Xianyang were able to eat cheap and fresh fish.
In addition to these, Xianyang has one of the biggest and most lively changes.
I don’t know if it’s because last year’s New Year celebration was too grand.
Not long after the beginning of spring this year, many businessmen rushed to Xianyang.
Many of them have been wandering outside for a long time, far away from home and have hardly ever been to Xianyang.
After seeing the changes in Xianyang today, coupled with the huge temptation of paper and glass.
More and more businessmen settled down and opened shops.
However, the main urban area of Xianyang has almost been occupied by the merchants who arrived earlier.
They don't have any good locations to open a shop.
So the King of Zhao found Ying Zheng.
A new vacant land with few inhabitants was planned on the site of Xianyang today.
Let people build shops on the vacant land and sell them to the merchants who came later.
According to the current saying.
She planned a development zone for Xianyang.
The development zone is not far from the main city of Xianyang. After a large number of businessmen settled there, it quickly became prosperous.
So even though Xianyang City is still as big as before, it can accommodate many more people than before.
When there are more people, it will naturally become more lively, and the economy will naturally develop faster.
Those businessmen who have stayed here for a long time are even more reluctant to leave.
"So, this is what we have done this year and what has changed in Xianyang."
On New Year's Day in 225, King Zhao and Fusu Yingzheng sat together for a New Year's Eve dinner.
I also gave a brief report on my achievements for the year, which can be regarded as a simple year-end summary to my boss.
"Sir, if you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have known you'd done so much this year."
Before Ying Zheng could speak, Fusu couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not me. Your help is also indispensable here. You are managing the glass workshop very well now."
