Chapter 449: Training Fusu

After testing the armor, Richard took out two more things.

"Master, what are these?"

"Horseshoes, high-bridge saddles and stirrups!"

"What are these three things for?"

"Horseshoes are simply shoes for horse hooves, and stirrups and saddles are to make it easier and more labor-saving for people to ride horses, and to make it easier to control war horses and free their hands."

When the First Emperor heard this, he instantly realized the importance of these three things.

"Come on, bring a horse."

Soon the groom brought a war horse, and then Richard instructed the groom to fix the horse's hooves, and then nail horseshoes on the war horse. At the same time, after installing the horseshoes, he asked someone to install saddles and stirrups on the war horse.

During the Qin Dynasty, the saddle used a low-bridge saddle, which served as a cushion, while the high-bridge saddle could clamp the cavalry's body, making it difficult for the cavalry to fall off the horse. Combined with the stirrup, it will be easier to control the warhorse.

Soon after the warhorse was equipped with the three-piece cavalry suit, the soldiers next to him began to try to get on the horse. The soldier rode the warhorse and ran quickly on the parade ground, and at the same time, he could shoot with both hands on the horseback.

After testing it, the soldier turned over and dismounted, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, with these things, the warhorse is very easy to control, and riding is much easier. At the same time, weapons can be used with both hands. It can be said that with these equipment, everyone in my Qin cavalry can shoot with both hands!"

Hearing this, the First Emperor immediately got on the horse himself, and then galloped on the horse to experience it. Sure enough, after riding this warhorse, he immediately felt the difference.

Riding a horse used to be very strenuous, and the legs had to clamp the horse's belly, and it was also inconvenient to use weapons at the same time, but now it has become very easy. The First Emperor was in a good mood, and he directly held the reins with one hand and pulled out the long sword at his waist with the other hand.

"All the soldiers, follow me to pacify the world!"

At this time, the First Emperor was riding on a warhorse, full of passion and high spirits. The soldiers around him responded one after another.

For a while, the training ground was full of swords and horses, and passion soared to the sky.

Finally, the First Emperor finished the test, turned over and dismounted, and then said: "These things of the national teacher make my Qin cavalry invincible in the world!"

"By the way, there is also the horseshoe, come on, lift the horse hoof to see how it works?"

The groom next to him quickly lifted the horse hoof, and saw that the horse hoof was intact.

"The function of horseshoes is to protect the horseshoes, so that even if the warhorse accidentally steps on a small stone while running, it will not cause the horse to stumble. At the same time, it also prevents the warhorse from having to be killed because of severe wear of the horseshoes."

"With these three horseshoes, the strength of the cavalry will be greatly increased!" The First Emperor said happily, but soon thought of something and immediately ordered: "All horseshoes, saddles, and stirrups are sealed, and today's events are not allowed to spread! If anyone dares to spread it, they will be torn to pieces!"

"Yes!" Everyone's face condensed, and they immediately bowed.

"In addition, order the 30,000 cavalrymen in the Lantian camp to camp in Shanglinyuan! No one is allowed to approach without my order!"

The First Emperor soon realized that the cavalry three-piece suit would immediately improve the cavalry's strength, but these three items had almost no technical content, and you would know it as long as you looked at them once. Others would naturally make this cavalry three-piece suit.

So if you want to maximize the power of the cavalry three-piece suit, it is confidentiality, as much as possible before use, and then it can be used to make the final decision.

The First Emperor immediately thought of this problem, and then called back all the cavalry from the Lantian Camp.

Shanglin Garden is a royal garden, where the First Emperor hunts. It has a vast area and is suitable for cavalry training.

After returning to the Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor seemed to have not recovered from his excitement just now.

"In the future, I will form a real Qin cavalry. When the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, what will those Huns be afraid of? What can the southern barbarians use to resist my cavalry!"

Richard smiled slightly in his heart. With these equipment, plus the Tianxing flying boat, the Qin soldiers can conquer any land.

Maybe the Qin in this world really has the possibility of unifying the world and becoming the ruler of the earth!

A small earth can be divided into more than 200 countries. How can the First Emperor allow this to happen?

Next, other workshops supervised by Richard also began to produce. In the papermaking workshop, paper suitable for writing was produced, and at the same time, the printing workshop also completed woodblock printing and movable type printing.

Richard had a set of books printed with movable type, and then sent the book to the Xianyang Palace. When he saw the back of these books, the First Emperor was extremely surprised.

For a long time, books were only kept in the hands of a few people. And books are difficult to write. A book of more than 100,000 words can be recorded in more than 10 or 20 pieces of paper. Now, only a thin book can do it.

This is epoch-making for the spread of knowledge.

Why couldn't the Qin court completely control the six countries? On the one hand, the journey was long, and the nobles of the six countries were obstructing it. On the other hand, there were not enough officials.

Even though the world has been unified for more than ten years, the Qin State still has not cultivated enough officials. Without enough officials, it is impossible to control local power.

Rights will not disappear, but will only transfer. When the Qin court does not control these rights, these rights will be stolen by others. The survivors of the six countries took advantage of the fact that there were not enough court officials and could not control so many positions, and finally they could only delegate power.

Now with these books, the court can cultivate enough talents. These people can extend the power of the Qin court further downward.

Just like the Qin law is very rigorous, although many places have too heavy sentences, it is not as harsh as imagined. But the people who enforce the Qin law are people. As a result, there is no one who is familiar with the Qin law in a county. How can you let the officials below enforce the Qin law?

So there must be enough talents so that the court can control the world.

With the help of Richard, Qin's technology trees were lit up one after another. The emergence of the earth-made blast furnace increased the output of Qin's ironware, which directly led Qin to run into the Iron Age, and bronze weapons and equipment began to be eliminated rapidly.

After no longer being used as weapons and equipment, bronze began to be cast into copper coins in large quantities. At the beginning, Qin Shihuang unified the weights and measures and unified the characters. This practice promoted the prosperity of commerce, but it also caused a problem, the insufficient number of coins.

The number of Qin Banliang coins was insufficient.

Because the bronze used to cast coins can also be cast into weapons and equipment, the coins cast by various countries are not many. After the First Emperor abolished the coins of the six countries, the coins in the world became tight.

Now that there are iron tools to make weapons, bronze will soon withdraw from the ranks of weapons and equipment and become real coins. With more coins, business will naturally begin to prosper.

With the lighting of papermaking and printing, it is foreseeable that books will appear in large numbers. At that time, knowledge will spread, and the number of officials in the court will increase rapidly. With the powerful military force, the court will have more and more control over the local areas in the next few decades.

Richard also lit up the production of porcelain and glass, and porcelain and glass will soon appear on the market. These items can improve people's living standards and can also be used for sales.

In addition to these, the lighting of steam dynamics and mechanical transmission also made various tools and machines in the Qin Dynasty begin to appear in large numbers. I don't know when they can develop a steam engine.

Once the steam engine appears, the Qin Dynasty will enter the fast lane of development.

Maybe one or two hundred years later, the Qin Dynasty has completed the industrial revolution, while humans in other parts of the world are still in the Bronze Age or even the Savage Age.

After Fusu went to various places to see the lives of the people with his own eyes, he thought a lot about governing the country. Many of the Zhou rituals that he regarded as the Guigao were out of date in the eyes of the people.

Just like the mourning. The people need to run around all year round and need to farm to support their families. If they really go to mourn, what should they do if the world is barren? What should they do if the court levies labor?

There is also the so-called well-field system. How to divide the fields and how to ensure the output of public fields? How will the children divide the family in the future? There is also the problem of criminal law. Confucianism does not attach importance to criminal law, but more to etiquette and law. It wants to rule the country with etiquette and law, but how to stipulate this etiquette and law? Customs are different in different places. How to use etiquette and law in this case?

Various problems made him have many doubts about Zhou Li. Zhou Li is really not adapted to the times.

If it really adapts to the times, it will not be abandoned by the princes.

In the end, Fusu thought a lot and went to see Richard again.

"Master, which of the Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism is more suitable for governing the country?" Prince Fusu's eyes were full of confusion.

"Young Master, why do you have to dwell on the differences between Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism?" Richard shook his head and said, "The Qin Dynasty unified the world and was able to accommodate the six kingdoms, so it could naturally accommodate all the schools of thought."

"The way to govern a country is not something that can be accomplished by any of the simple schools of Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, and Taoism. Each of these schools has its own advantages and disadvantages. If we want to govern a country, we cannot limit ourselves to one school, but must be inclusive, take the strengths of all schools, and abandon the weaknesses of all schools!"

"To be strict and lenient is not to govern a country, and to be lenient is not to govern a country. A combination of leniency and strictness is the way to govern the world. Each school has its advantages. "

"Just like the Tiangong Academy, can you let Confucian students manage research? Can they make a machine if they only know the so-called "zhihuzheya"? Can they make a spinning wheel?"

"To command the army, can you let the Taoists do it? You must use the military strategists to lead the army and conquer the world."

"Governing a country is to put the right people in the right positions."

"The current Qin State should be like this. Although the Legalists can strengthen the country, they oppress the people too much. The people must be given time to recuperate."

"The Great Qin has its own system, which is mixed with the ways of kingship and hegemony, taking the strengths of hundreds of schools and discarding their weaknesses!"
