At the end of the evening eclipse, Fen and others had begun to rest. Zhao Shu and his prisoners continued to dig mountains and quarry while it was still early in the day.
At the construction site of Lishan Mausoleum, female prisoners were pounding rice and mending clothes, not being seen together with the men.
There were no electronic products or human-creation activities. The prisoners who had worked hard for a day closed their eyes and began to recharge their batteries.
While the prisoners were working, Zhao Shu looked at the sky and thought about his future. Since he had come to this era and could never go back, he never thought about ruining it.
At the end of the Warring States Period, this was a great and prosperous world. There was Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of the ages, and famous ministers such as Wang Jian and Li Si.
Hundreds of schools of thought are overwhelming the world, and the warriors of the Qin Dynasty are marching everywhere. This is a world of great strife and a world of great changes.
Nobles with thousands of years of blood cannot compete with the military merit system. Those royal nobles will be stepped on by the Qin officials.
In the pre-Qin period, the ideas of various scholars collided, the scholars were strong, and the soldiers fought in the world. Zhao Shu was also looking forward to it. Since he is here, why not take a trip.
This is fate. Since you can't resist it, just enjoy it.
What he learned is enough to rewrite an ancient history and change the destiny of this nation. China may become more wonderful because of him.
After the prisoners finished their work, it was already an hour later. Zhao Shu ordered everyone to go back to rest and entered the wooden house himself.
In the Datong bunk, the remaining bedding and bed were his. Without thinking too much, Zhao Shu climbed into bed.
Although the smell of feet and sweat mixed together was nauseating, Zhao Shu knew that Lishan was still safe in the wooden house at night.
Wild beasts are roaming around in the mountains, and poisons are escaping. If you rest outside, you will not only catch a cold, but also die.
The conditions were difficult, and the hygiene was even messy and poor. However, Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and endured it. He knew very well that surviving was more important than anything else.
The Lishan Mausoleum area is surrounded by Da Qin warriors, so there is no need to worry about the prisoners causing trouble.
Before the Second World War, the terrifying combat power and reputation of the Great Qin warriors had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they were the symbol of the safest.
The next day is a holiday.
The entire Lishan Mountain will stop, and all craftsmen and prisoners will take a rest. The officials of Da Qin know very well that death is common, and lack of food is not a big deal, but everything that is too much is not enough.
Too much pressure can easily lead to riots. Take a rest every seven days and eat meat every half a month. This is the reason why Lishan has always maintained stability.
Zhao Shutian got up before dawn, washed his face in the nearby aqueduct, dipped his fingers in water, rubbed his teeth, and rinsed his mouth.
I put on another set of short shirts issued by the imperial court, washed the ones I took off in the ditch, and found a big stone to dry them.
A group of people get together to brag and brag about a young man from all over the country. Except for this kind of service, he may never meet him in his life.
Speaking with local accents and talking about their own interesting stories, Zhao Shu felt like he was dreaming of returning to his university dormitory.
"Wu Changshu, what are you thinking about in a daze? Are you thinking about that little lady?" A teasing laugh came, and everyone laughed.
In the pre-Qin period, just like in later generations, a group of men gathered together to talk about careers or women.
"Haha, isn't the pretty widow at the end of the village a sweet lady? If it's a young lady..." Zhao Shu replied, with a smile on his face.
In this era, apart from the old clans, gentry and other large families, as well as small families, a pretty widow is more popular than a young lady.
Due to various factors such as medical level, it is very dangerous for women to give birth in this era, and it is easy to kill two people.
The saying that when a woman gives birth to a child is a trip through hell, it couldn't be more appropriate to describe giving birth to a child in this era.
As for the pretty widow who has already given birth to an heir, after the first, second, and third births, it will be much easier, and the risk will be infinitely reduced.
What's more, the pretty widow knows much better and can tempt young boys far more than girls.
In this era, Cao's thieves would die miserably. Especially after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, if someone is caught cheating, they will be killed without guilt.
"Wu Zhangshu, I didn't expect you to be such a Wu Zhangshu. Tell me, is there a pretty widow there?"
"How are you in shape? How old are you?"
…
"Wu Changshu, the superior asked you to come over." A nobleman came in a hurry and whispered to Zhao Shu.
"good."
Zhao Shu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you sir for making the trip. I'm very grateful."
The soldier shook his head: "I am not a senior official, just an ordinary soldier."
Zhao Shu didn't dwell on this. After all, deputy directors all like to be called directors.
Saying goodbye to everyone, Zhao Shu followed the soldier Fu and came to Gu's wooden house: "Shu has seen the superiors and met the superiors."
In the wooden house, besides Gu, there was also a young man. Zhao Shu didn't know what to call him, so he came to see a senior official.
"What are you talking about, superior officer? This is the Young Master Zhang Han." Gu scolded, taking the opportunity to inform Zhao Shu of Zhang Han's identity.
In the Shaofu, it has been verified that the idea proposed by Zhao Shu is feasible, and the specific effect needs to be tested in the Lishan quarry area.
Having gained the benefits, I naturally don’t mind mentioning a few things about Zhao Shu.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu quickly saluted: "Shu, I have met the Shaofu. Shu didn't know that the Shaofu was coming personally. He offended the Shaofu with his words and asked the Shaofu to punish him."
Zhang Han.
The Shaofu of the Qin Dynasty supervised the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum. Later, the second generation was in chaos and the princes joined forces. Zhang Han led the Lishan prisoner army to sweep away the bandits.
Although the result was not satisfactory, after the deaths of Wang Jian, Meng Tian and others, Zhang Han was regarded as the only famous general in the Qin Dynasty.
At this moment, Zhang Han was also looking at Zhao Shu. Although Zhao Shu was asking for punishment just now, his expression did not change and there was no trace of panic on his face.
Moreover, he speaks clearly and clearly, and even when meeting him, he is calm and unhurried. Such a mind is not comparable to that of a simple young man.
"He who does not know is not guilty."
Zhang Han spoke and chuckled: "I heard that you have improved the art of mining mountains and quarrying rocks?"
"Shaofu Mingjian, this method is Shu's idea at the moment. He mentioned it to the superior officials. After the superior officials perfected it, it was roughly formed."
Zhao Shu's tone was calm and unhurried: "As for the effect, I can't guarantee it, but it will definitely be faster than before."
"After all, doing this not only saves labor, but also reduces the generation of waste materials."
"Haha... interesting!"
With a loud laugh, Zhang Han told Gu: "Bring your things and go to the quarrying area. I just have a rest today to try the effect."
"If the effect is good, I will ask the king for instructions."
These nails and hammers all require iron to be forged. In Da Qin, when it comes to iron, except for the nod from Qin Wangzheng, even the Shaofu did not dare to build it on a large scale.
At present, Da Qin's iron is mainly used to make agricultural tools. The output is not high and it is difficult to forge, which makes Da Qin's iron very valuable.
The quarries in the Lishan Mausoleum area are not only the one that Zhao Shu is responsible for, but there are also several others, and the number of quarries to be built will not be small.
Zhang Han is a cautious person, and he will not make arbitrary opinions. Of course, he still has this power as the young man to build one or two pairs.
