At the end of the year, Zhao Tuo took Zhang Han and other subordinates to inspect the Shaofu official office where he had worked for more than half a year.
Smelting yard, paper mill, catering place...
"One last look."
Zhao Tuo felt a little nostalgic.
Zhang Han sighed: "I have served in the Shaofu for nearly ten years, and I have never seen anyone like the great concubine. In just half a year, I have developed papermaking, printing, the three treasures of cavalry, the treadmill, and the water hammer.
Waterwheels...everything is a weapon of the country, and they are all sacred objects that the world can hardly imagine. According to the opinion of the subordinates, the post of Shaofu is specially designed for the great concubine. There is no one in the world who can compare with the great concubine.
The elder is more qualified for this position."
Zhao Tuo smiled slightly and accepted Zhang Han's flattery.
He also felt that the position of Shaofu was the most suitable for utilizing the ability of a time traveler.
For example, in the past few months, he has made people come up with a treadmill that can spring rice. When he was walking on the Weishui River, he thought of the wonderful use of water power, and took advantage of the situation and built a water treadmill that can use water.
Since we thought of using water power, waterwheels that could irrigate farmland and watermills linked to mills came into being.
In fact, the principles of these things are simple. They can be easily made with the productivity level of this era. The main thing is to see if anyone can imagine that once they are made, it will have a great impact on the entire era.
And this is the real role of the time traveler.
Even though Zhao Tuo did not know the specific technologies of many later generations, he had advanced concepts and correct ideas, and with the help of a large number of skilled craftsmen and ink masters under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, he could move forward.
Sometimes, finding the right direction is more important than anything else.
"If I am allowed to serve as the Young Master for another ten years, I can improve the Qin Dynasty's technological level in all aspects by more than a thousand years."
Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart.
It's a pity that he doesn't have enough time. After the New Year, Zhao Tuo will no longer be the young master.
He turned to look at Zhang Han and said: "Shaorong, you should study the things I mentioned carefully. If you can figure them out, it will be a great achievement. Especially the telescope I mentioned, it is a weapon in military competition.
It is extremely useful on the battlefield. As soon as it is produced, it is presented to the emperor and sent to the battlefield."
"Zhang Han will definitely live up to the expectations of the young master and will make the telescope!"
Zhang Han spoke in a deep voice, his voice firm.
This was the trust Mr. Zhao had placed in him. If he could not keep it, Zhang Han would not be able to see him again.
Zhao Tuo nodded, he was still assured of Zhang Han's ability to do things.
Grasslands and deserts stretch as far as the eye can see.
If you can get a telescope out, it would be a super artifact.
Although transparent glass could not be produced in this era, Zhao Tuo remembered that he had seen pictures of the "Warring States Crystal Cup" unearthed in later generations.
It is a national treasure comparable to the Stepmother Wuding and the Bronze Divine Tree. It is completely transparent and has the same appearance as a glass. It can be used as a lens for a telescope.
It's just that crystals with extremely high purity are hard to find, and polishing and polishing is also a delicate job. This matter can't be rushed. Zhao Tuo doesn't have enough time to stay in Xianyang, so he can only leave it to Zhang Han.
Zhao Tuo believed that no matter who took over the post of young master, he would never dare to abandon the several projects he left behind, and would even strongly support them.
"With the three treasures of the cavalry, the telescope, and the pot helmet noodles, it's time to change the overlord on the grassland."
After Zhao Tuo "entrusted" Zhang Han, he put aside the affairs of the Shaofu.
In the last few days of September, he met his first guest from Kanto.
"It's the New Year, but Chen Sheng left his wife and children to come here. I feel very uneasy."
Zhao Tuo spoke very politely, without any hint of arrogance after gaining power in his words, which made Chen Ping breathe a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that he had rejected Zhao Tuo's hint of solicitation, and now he came eagerly, which would make Zhao Tuo feel a trace of contempt in his heart.
Chen Ping had not been in contact with Zhao Tuo for a long time, so he was not very clear about the character of the great concubine.
Now that he saw the concubine treating him politely, he immediately felt relieved.
"The chief concubine did not think that Chen Ping was from a humble background, but personally invited him with a letter. I am deeply grateful for this kindness. I will serve you now, and I also ask the concubine not to give up."
Chen Ping bowed down, his expression was respectful, and his words directly expressed his intention to surrender.
The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth curled up slightly, this is the benefit brought by power and status.
In the past, he was a lord of 500 in Wei, and Chen Ping made many hints and solicitations, but was politely rejected by the other party.
Now, as the chief concubine, Zhao Tuo only used a letter to ask Chen Ping, who had rejected him in the past, to abandon his beloved wife before the New Year and travel thousands of miles to pay his respects.
The scene in later novels where "the tiger's body shook and all the heroes bowed down" is not necessarily fake.
The premise is to have enough power and position and the opportunity to bring benefits to others.
Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "Chen Sheng and I are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. I will host a banquet for Chen Sheng tonight. Then I will invite Shejian, Black Hips, Xiqigu and other troops. We are acquainted with each other, let’s talk about old times. Oh, by the way, there is also a Lisheng from your Wei Dynasty, has Chen Sheng ever heard of her?”
"A three-inch tongue talks about surrendering a country. I have heard of Li Sheng's name. I am extremely honored to be able to serve under the great concubine's tent with such heroes."
Chen Ping lowered his head and answered.
Li Shiqi's deeds of surrendering to the Qi Kingdom have already spread throughout the world. His hometown of Chenliu is very close to Yangwu County where Chen Ping lives. How could he not have heard of it? It can even be said that he heard it like thunder.
According to Chen Ping's understanding, Li Shiqi chose to follow Zhao Tuo when he was conquering Wei. From then on, he soared into the sky and became famous all over the world.
That was an opportunity that Chen Ping gave up, but Li Shiqi seized it.
Thinking of this, envy and jealousy flashed in Chen Ping's eyes.
He thought to himself: "Although I don't have Li Shiqi's eloquence, I am by no means inferior to him in terms of resourcefulness. Now that I have joined the chief concubine and become the chief concubine's guest, I must work hard and let me tell my story." Ping's name can be spread all over the world in the future!"
After the two chatted for a few more words, Zhao Tuo asked someone to take Chen Ping to his old residence before getting married.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Tuo now lives in the princess's mansion, so it is naturally impossible for guests to stay overnight. Fortunately, the old house in the past was also a large house with a good environment. Zhao Tuo again
His old residence has special significance, and it is naturally the perfect place to house these guests and staff who have defected to him.
Watching Chen Ping's back being led away by his attendants.
A smile bloomed at the corner of Zhao Tuo's mouth.
A top talent has been hired.
Zhao Tuo again thought of the letter sent by Zhao Guang, the lieutenant of Sishui County.
The letter stated that Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Fan Hui all accepted his conquest and would come with the conscripted soldiers.
"Sure enough, it's better to be powerful. If I were still a five-hundred-year-old master, I'm afraid these people wouldn't agree to me at all."
Zhao Tuo once again lamented the benefits brought by power.
This time, in addition to recruiting the three talents he knew.
He actually had the idea of bringing Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu to Xianyang, but he gave up after just thinking about it.
You, Zhao Tuo, have defeated Xiang Yan, Xiang Qu, and the Xiang family. You can say that they are mortal enemies.
The people who recruited the Xiang family at this time seemed to have bad intentions. Maybe as soon as Zhao Tuo issued the order, Xiang Liang and others would run away, hiding their names, and they would not be found.
As for letting people take action against the Xiang family in the Chu region, it is impossible under the current circumstances. The Qin State's dominance in Guandong is not enough, and it needs the help of local powerful families to rule.
The Xiang family is a local snake who is under the prime minister, and because they have been Chu generals for generations, they are quite popular with the local Chu people. It is impossible for Zhao Tuo to capture them thousands of miles away.
The best way is to wait patiently and not to alert the enemy. After the Chi Road is repaired and the Chu nobles are moved into the customs, they can do whatever they want on Zhao Tuo's territory.
"And with my current status, am I still afraid of a little kid?"
Zhao Tuo sneered, thinking of the luxurious lineup he was about to gather.
Top lobbyist Li Shiqi.
Zhongli Mei, the minister of bones.
Chen Ping, a strategist with extraordinary tricks.
Xiao He, the good logistics minister.
Cao Shen is used for both civil and military purposes.
The brave warrior Fanhui arrived first.
There are also Zhang Han, Lu Wan, Shejian, Su Jiao, Li Shang and other confidants.
