Chapter 25 Assembly Line Factory!
And Shahe Village is able to produce things continuously.

All of this was due to the support of Ying Zheng.

Under Ying Zheng's order, all the resources of the Qin state were transferred to Shaqiu.

As long as Zhao Yi needs something, it will be provided.

Whether it was iron ore, sulfur, saltpeter, coal, bamboo or wood, all were transported here.

When the officials saw what His Majesty was doing, they began to increasingly doubt whether His Majesty was really going to move the capital to Shaqiu.

Otherwise, so many resources would not be transported to Dune.

Doesn’t it look like they are going to build a capital?
They also enclosed land in Kuaiji County to build some strange houses, reclaimed military farms, and established new military camps to train soldiers.

In fact, Ying Zheng planned to build wineries, paper mills and reclaim military fields in various places in Kuaiji County in order to prepare for the planting of potatoes in preparation for the popularization of potatoes in the Qin Dynasty in the future.

So the Left Prime Minister Li Si submitted a memorial to test the emperor and asked whether he was considering moving the capital.

But Ying Zheng did not give a clear answer.

Neither deny nor confirm.

Because Ying Zheng himself was also struggling.

He originally had no idea of ​​moving the capital.

After all, moving the capital is a huge and cumbersome project.

But if I don't move the capital, I can't stay in the sand dunes forever.

Although Ying Zheng brought some officials with him on his eastern tour, some officials and Right Prime Minister Feng Quji stayed in the capital Xianyang to handle some government affairs. Only the more important matters were decided by Ying Zheng.

That's why Ying Zheng could go to Shahe Village every day to eat and listen to Zhao Yi's lectures.

With the things Zhao Yi gave him, Ying Zheng didn't dare to let Zhao Yi out of his sight.

If I go back to Xianyang, who knows what Zhao Yi will come up with.

If he really rebelled, it would really endanger the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, Ying Zheng was also quite troubled.

When Li Si saw that His Majesty did not give an answer, he knew what His Majesty was thinking.

Until now, Li Si still couldn't figure out what His Majesty was doing in Shaqiu.

His Majesty only asked him to formulate a universal education system and an official examination system and nothing more happened.

In fact, it’s not that Ying Zheng didn’t want to promote it.

But the time has not yet come.

The paper mill built according to the drawings provided by Zhao Yi has not yet been completed and put into production.

Without cheap writing materials like paper, universal education would not be possible.

Ying Zheng was shocked when he saw the production of the Shahe Village factory in front of him.

Originally in Ying Zheng’s impression.

A metallurgical plant is a group of craftsmen who keep hitting metal blocks with hammers in front of a furnace.

Forge various weapons or parts.

But now, what we see before us are machines working non-stop to cut metal.

People are only responsible for controlling and placing metal parts.

And the production speed is too fast!
It takes less than a minute to make a component!

If the craftsmen from the Qin Dynasty were to come, it would take two or three days to make that part.

Ying Zheng discovered that the iron production capacity of this factory was equivalent to that of more than half of the official military equipment production plant of the Qin Dynasty.

so horrible!

The reason why Ying Zheng was so surprised was that Zhao Yi introduced assembly line operation in the factory in Shahe Village.

After several steam lathes were assembled five days ago, Zhao Yi developed a new assembly line production plan for the factory.

However, assembly line production would have been a crushing blow to the Qin Dynasty when production was all done manually and individually.

Even though the Qin Dynasty had a more advanced division of labor and production system than the six kingdoms.

It is also far inferior to the factory in Shahe Village.

Because the speed of production based on experience will never be faster than that of assembly line production under standardized management.

As a result, the production speed that shocked Ying Zheng was achieved.

"Zhao boy, can this factory in your village also produce weapons?" Zhao Yi did not tell his scumbag father about the gun. So Ying Zheng could not understand what the gun barrels produced in the factory were, and thought they were parts of some farm tools.

After all, a round tube as long as an arm doesn't look like a lethal weapon.

Little did they know that this was the hot weapon that would change the battlefield - the gun.

"Of course. Those machines you see that are emitting steam are called steam lathes. They can cut out metal very quickly and can cut out any part you need."

Zhao Yi briefly explained the function of the steam lathe to Ying Zheng.

The reason why Zhao Yi brought Zhadie here was to let him see the production speed of Shahe Village.

Let the scumbag dad understand that the factory in Shahe Village can ensure that he will not lack weapons for his rebellion.

Let him understand that the iron ore and materials he transported are used in production.

"Steam lathe..."

Ying Zheng could understand the meaning of Zhao Yi's words.

Sure enough, this kid Zhao is really scary.

According to what he said before he came, this factory has only become like this in the past half month.

It only takes half a month to build a factory that is equivalent to most of the official arsenals in the entire Qin Dynasty.

In other words, as long as Zhao Yi wants, he only needs to spend half a year if resources are sufficient.

It would be possible to produce enough weapons to arm an army of 200,000.

Fortunately, Zhao Yi is still considered one of us and is not really rebelling.

Ying Zheng decided that if he could persuade Zhao Yi to surrender to Qin in the future, he would tell Zhao Yi his identity.

If Zhao Yi cannot be persuaded to surrender to Qin, he will still insist on rebelling.

Then he will perform a big drama of rebelling against me in front of Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi is only three years old now, and he definitely won’t go to the front line at such a young age.

At that time, he would make some fake war reports every day to show Zhao Yi.

Just make Zhao Yi feel that he is rebelling.

Anyway, according to Zhao Yi, if the rebellion was successful, he would ascend the throne and become emperor.

So all we have to do is deceive Zhao Yi.

And Ying Zheng was willing to spend so much effort to deceive Zhao Yi.

In addition to the fact that Ying Zheng liked Zhao Yi very much, it was also because Zhao Yi was too important.

During this half month, through the conversations between the shadow guards disguised as caravan members and the villagers, they learned that the reason why Shahe Village has become what it is today is all because of Zhao Yi.

So Zhao Yi is the key to everything.

Ying Zheng would not take action against Zhao Yi.

Because of Zhao Yi, all aspects of Daqin can change with each passing day, just like this factory in front of us.

Ying Zheng believed that with Zhao Yi's help he could conquer the entire earth and establish the Qin Empire, on which the sun never sets.

Zhao Yi never expected that his scumbag father would think so much.

It was obvious that he just wanted to make his scumbag father more determined to rebel.

But the scumbag dad thought so much.

After visiting the factory, Ying Zheng and Zhao Yi walked into the meeting room.

"Zhao boy, I didn't see any grenades among the products produced in the factory just now. So where are the grenades produced?" Ying Zheng asked.

Grenades are what Ying Zheng cares about most because they can defeat any army of the Qin Dynasty.

But Ying Zheng did not see any grenade in the factory production workshop just now.

That's why Ying Zheng asked this question.

"In fact, some parts of the grenade are also produced in the factory, but the specific assembly is done elsewhere because the other material of the grenade is too dangerous."

"what material?"

Zhao Yi replied: "Gunpowder."
