Chapter 136 The benefits of iron

"Father doesn't have to do this. Now, the so-called Six Kingdoms are there in my Great Qin. The title of Six Kingdoms is just the dream of spring and autumn for those who want to restore their country. The reason why Gao proposed to use iron tools to make military weapons was to expand the army several years later. Once the iron tools replace bronze tools successfully, our Great Qin will be able to improve regardless of military power or production!"

The benefits of iron tools are endless even if Ying Gao sits here and talks to the First Emperor for a night, so Ying Gao doesn’t plan to explain in detail. Of course, he can’t say that with this iron, I can’t develop and develop it well and I can bring you the cooking dishes that will only be available in more than a thousand years later.

The only thing that can attract the attention of Emperor Qin Shi is the strong army, so Ying Gao only needs to seize this.

The First Emperor actually knew the wear resistance and toughness of iron tools. When he and Zhao Ji were in Zhao State, they had seen iron tools widely used in Zhao State, but Qin State did not find iron ore at that time, so this matter was behind.

"Even so, this ironmaking is not a matter of one day or one night. Even this blacksmith has to search for it..."

"The reason why Gao dared to mention this to his father is because there is an outstanding person among the masters!"

"Oh? Let's hear it." Obviously, Ying Gao's pretended mysterious behavior attracted the attention of the First Emperor.

"Ahem, my father still remembers the weapon that was attacked in Gubo Langsha before, the big hammer weighing hundreds of pounds?"

"Oh? This time you went to Chen County. Although you dismantled the bandit leader's power, you did not catch the bandit leader. It was enough to show that he was very cunning. Could it be that there is something hidden in it?"

After Emperor First Emperor asked this, Ying Gao could only sigh heavily. He said that at this point, for the development of the Qin Dynasty, I can only add a little emotional color to the facts...

"Yes, the main culprit Zhang Liang was the prime minister of South Korea. He had a deep resentment towards his father and I, Daqin. This time, he was prepared for him so he could not capture him. However, this guy was already hit by me when he ran away, and he would not feel good. But my father didn't know that Gao's biggest gain was that he rescued someone. After asking, he was the blacksmith who had deceived Zhang Liang to make the iron hammer for him before Bolangsha attacked his father. This person was named Zhang Kai. He was a famous skilled craftsman in the former land of Lu. He was proficient in the production of iron tools and mechanisms. After I was rescued, he was willing to contribute the rest of his life to my Daqin to thank him for the crime of making iron hammers. Now Gao has brought him back and placed him in Xianyang City!"

I have to say that most of Ying Gao’s story is true. Even Zhang Kai was coerced by Zhang Liang, which is understandable. The only thing that cannot be said is that Zhang Liang was let go. This guy should remember his first merit...

"Hiss... Although people like this should have a good time to investigate their life experience, if they are really skilled craftsmen, they can naturally use it. However, the manufacturing of my Daqin bronze ware has already reached a scale. If they are changed rashly, it will probably cause a lot of inconvenience."

Emperor Qin Shi agreed with Ying Gao's statement. In fact, there were many things he had thought about in his early years, but as he grew older, these things had to be lined up in his head and had to seek ways to make way for him to seek immortality. It was not until after Meng Sheng's incident that Emperor Qin Shi felt that he had finally escaped from the vicious circle of not wanting to die but getting closer to death.

Now that he has his son who has just been appointed as the crown prince as the vanguard, the First Emperor is still willing to make some changes. After all, all he has to do is nod and wait and see the results. Why not do it?

"What Gao thought in his heart was that his father would first divide one third of the craftsmen who made bronze ware and hand it over to the open hand. If the output is three months later or the effect cannot be compared with the bronze ware, Gao would send it back to Lu State!"

Ying Gao had issued such an order. If Emperor Qin Shi did not hand over the third of the craftsmen to him, it would be a bit too petty. Therefore, this vigorous iron smelting movement set the tone in the words of the father and son.

If you want to do things well, you must first sharpen your tools. In fact, what Ying Gao wants most now is to dig out Zhang Liang, then cut him off with one knife, then go to Pei County to find Liu Bang, and cut him with one knife.

But once you decide to do this, if you cannot erase all the extramarital people on the Qin territory with thunder at the same time, it will almost certainly cause riots. In other words, this is a situation that will affect the whole body. If one is not good, it will cause the Dazexiang Uprising to come two years later.

Therefore, while Ying Gao slowly changed the distribution of Qin's troops, he also needed to increase the individual combat effectiveness of the army. When the time comes, he could not rely on experts like the secret magic team.

The performance of the 10,000 people he led in Chen County made Ying Gao quite disappointed. Ying Gao believed that the combat effectiveness of them and the Great Qin Tiger and Wolf Army who destroyed the six kingdoms was not on the same level at all. Otherwise, although Zhang Liang's mechanism was exquisite, he would not have died a thousand times at once.

Under such a background, it is even more necessary to replace the Qin Bing's bronze ware. Once the iron ware is refined better, its toughness and sharpness are not comparable to those of just bronze ware.

Although Ying Gao is a liberal arts student, he is familiar with history and knows that if it is a sword of the same size, the iron one will definitely be sharper than the copper one, and of course it will be easier to kill the enemy.

The next day, when Ying Gao brought Zhang Kai, who had been in Xianyang City for a few days, to the hundreds of craftsmen assigned to him by the First Emperor, and told him that all these people were under his control, his eyes were almost emitting light.

When Ying Gao told Zhang Kai that if he could prove to the people in Xianyang that the ironware that was made with the same energy was far better than bronzeware in terms of durability and cost, all the craftsmen in Xianyang City would be managed by him, the eyes of the open open seemed to be spewing out fire. What does it mean to reach the peak of life? Just look at Zhang Kai at this time and you will know.

After saying the requirements, Ying Gao left on his own. He was not the kind of guy who did everything himself. Besides, he said that iron smelting. Although he knew that iron ware was better than copper ware, how could he, a liberal arts student, know the principle that in these aspects, what he could do was to promote the Qin Dynasty according to the development of history and make inventions. It was really not his dish.

He came, that was to do a "big thing"... Of course, he could also be said to be lazy.
