Chapter 859 Flying to the Sky

"Heming Academy?"

Qin Shihuang said with some disbelief that he knew how much money Heming University in Xianyang spent.

"How could Yunmengze be able to build a Heming Academy?"

Hearing this, the young man was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the children around him and said with a smile,

"This noble man, this is Heming Academy."

Qin Shihuang was suddenly stunned.

He knew Zhao Lang's plan to open schools all over the world.

In fact, he didn't think so, considering how huge the money and manpower was spent.

Even if it takes another ten years, I am afraid that I will not be able to afford the entire Da Qin students. This is unrealistic.

The vast majority of the people will inevitably have to live their whole lives with their backs to the sky and their faces facing the loess.

He even thought in his heart that it would be better for there to be fewer scholars in the world.

Otherwise, how can the people afford it?

But he never expected that it would unfold in this form. Only now did he fully understand Zhao Lang's idea, which was not to cultivate countless scholars, but to turn the ability to read into the most basic ability for everyone.

With the ability to read, coupled with the increasingly cheap paper books, countless talents will emerge from it.

Just like sowing seeds into a fertile field, the final result will depend on the power contained in the seeds themselves.

You may not see results within ten years, but the longer it goes, the greater the power will explode!

This is the other party's plan.

Even Qin Shihuang was shocked by such a long-term plan.

"Noble?"

The young man on the side shouted at this time,

"Are you okay?"

Qin Shihuang came to his senses at this time and looked at the other party with a complicated expression. The other party was the best example.

After you learn to read yourself, you can then pass this knowledge on to others.

This is already a seed that has sprouted!

"It's nothing. You've done a good job. I don't have much, I only have some money to help you."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and Zhao Gao on the side took out a bag of money.

The young man hesitated for a moment and finally declined,

"This noble man teaches the children not for money, but for the education of the school."

Qin Shi Huang said with a smile,

"This money is not just for you. It would also be good for you to buy some books and some clothes for the children."

The young man then took the money and returned,

"Thank you, sir."

Qin Shihuang nodded and continued walking forward without stopping.

Zhao Gao smiled and said at this time,

"It is his good fortune to meet His Majesty."

Qin Shihuang shook his head and said,

"I am lucky to meet him."

Neither of them doubted whether the other would swallow the money privately and teach others voluntarily for free, but would not do such a thing.

The two of them continued walking on the street, and not long after, they came across a place where people gathered again, but this time they were all adults.

This time, they knew what was going on without asking, because there was a notice posted next to it, and a steward was yelling loudly.

"We're recruiting, we're recruiting. As long as they have Daqin household registration, they are male or female, and they have all their hands and feet."

"I work for five hours every day and have one day off every six days. The wages are extremely fair and are guaranteed by documents issued by the Qin government!"

Hearing this, Qin Shihuang frowned slightly. This condition was much more stringent than what Lang'er had shown him.

I don’t know how the people will react.

With a lot of shouting, the people gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.

Soon a common man stood up and said,

"I'm from a nearby village. I can go out to work if I don't have much land in my family, but your rules are a bit bad."

When the person in charge heard this, he quickly said,

"Our rules are all based on government documents. What's wrong with that? The wages are also very fair."

The people then said,

"You said I work five hours a day, but I don't want to rest for that long. If I work beyond five hours, how will my wages be calculated?"

"Also, I don't need to take one day off in six days, just one day in half a month."

When working at home, there is no such thing as rest. Gu Yi

The steward was stunned for a moment, as if he had never encountered such a situation before.

After a while he said,

"Well, the salary is calculated separately, and I can add a little more for you."

The people immediately replied,

"Okay! I'll go with you!"

Soon, many people followed the person in charge and signed the documents.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shihuang fell silent, then showed a wry smile and whispered,

"This is slightly different from what Lang'er thought."

Zhao Lang's measures were all to protect the people and prevent them from working for too long.

But the current situation is that people want to take the initiative to extend the time.

Zhao Gao on the side agreed,

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been pampered since he was a child. He may not be so clear about what the people want."

The people of Da Qin are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but are afraid of having a bad life.

As long as they have a strong will, their tenacity is rare in the world.

Qin Shihuang shook his head slightly. He did not agree with Zhao Gao's words.

"If Lang'er really doesn't understand the people, then it is impossible to put down the chaos of the Six Kingdoms with the power of the people."

"It's just that he understands these businessmen and nobles better."

"Anyway, that's it. Let's see what it will be like in five years."

Every time Zhao Lang discussed plans with him, he used five years as a period to see the results and make adjustments.

After speaking, Qin Shihuang led his people and walked out of the city, preparing to return to the camp.

In the evening, Qin Shihuang returned to the camp where the parade was located. When he came back, an attendant came over and reported,

"Your Majesty, the craftsman who oversees the craftsmanship has come to report that he has made a new ink lamp and is ready to be launched into the sky."

Qin Shihuang's eyes lit up and he said quickly,

"lead the way."

Then they went all the way to the back of the camp and saw a dozen craftsmen surrounding an ink lantern that was much larger than an ordinary ink lantern. Seeing Qin Shihuang coming, the leader of the craftsmen came over and reported,

"Your Majesty's new ink lamp has been prepared. This time we have prepared a live chicken."

Qin Shihuang nodded and said,

"Light the fire."

The craftsman did not hesitate, turned around, walked to the ink lamp, and lit the fire.

In the nervous gaze of everyone, under the evening sun, as the flame burned, the ink lamp suddenly shook.

Then it began to rise slowly, and finally, fixed by the rope, it stopped at a height of more than ten meters in the air!

At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and the ink lamp suddenly swayed. The leader of the craftsmen said quickly,

"Pull down the ink lamp."

Soon the ink lamp returned to the ground, and the craftsmen took out the live chickens and sent them to Qin Shihuang.

"Done?"

Qin Shihuang said with a bit of disbelief at this time.

The craftsman said at this time,

"Your Majesty, this paper ink lamp is still not stable enough and can catch fire easily."

"I'm afraid we still need to find new materials."

Qin Shihuang nodded at this time, but his face was filled with excitement.

"Okay, here's the order to head directly to the Land of Baiyue tomorrow morning!"

Although this kind of ink lamp is still not big enough, it can't fly high, and the only thing it can carry is a live chicken, but this is the first time to bring a living animal to the sky.

But as long as this continues, one day, this ink lamp will be able to take people to the sky!

He even thought about what kind of expression he would have if one day he appeared in front of Langer with a flying ink lantern.

At this time, Zhao Lang sneezed in the Xianyang Palace.

"Which bastard is thinking about me again?"

After touching his nose, Zhao Lang asked the slave next to him,

"Has the letter to Han Xin been sent?"

The slave returned with a smile,

"Master, he has already been sent out."

Zhao Lang nodded and asked Han Xin to look at Liu Bang this time. There should be no problem.
