In the following week, Tobu made a sewing machine based on Qin Ming's sketches, and made cement with the raw material recipes listed by Qin Ming.

With sand and gravel, the solidified concrete is very hard.

The birth of this thing can be described as a subversive transformation of infrastructure, and this thing is much better than cement to repair houses.

And it's more stable and more convenient.

You can also build roads, which are very useful.

The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry cooperated to vigorously promote these industries, and I believe that in the near future, the state of Chu will be earth-shaking changes.

In addition, Qin Ming also took the lead in giving an order, and the cement that came out was first paved with cement roads on the main streets of the imperial capital, and the houses could not be repaired in a hurry, and they were all still lived, but the roads must be done well.

With the imperial capital of Chu as the center, the construction of cement roads began to be built as a national policy, and they were repaired well.

With a good road, coupled with the tricycle and four-wheeled vehicle that everyone has made, it is absolutely convenient to travel and transport goods.

This policy is to be done by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and Qin Ming is also relieved.

During this time, a series of industrial policies were promulgated, and he was quite tired, and now the people below basically did what he wanted, so he also had a good rest.

In the Qingxin Palace, Qin Ming looked at Gonggong Liu and said, "The two princes and princesses of the Half Moon Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom didn't do anything, right?" ”

"According to Your Majesty's orders, let people keep an eye on it, they all wrote letters and contacted the emperors of their countries, yesterday, the prince of the Half Moon Kingdom received a reply, and placed an order of four million silver and one million books in the Chu State, and now the paper printing factory is rushing to them."

Father-in-law Liu paid attention to these little things.

Qin Ming asked again: "What about the prince of the Yuan Kingdom?" ”

"The prince of Yuan received a reply from the emperor of Yuan State, but there has been no movement yet, and I don't know what the reply is." Liu Gonggong said.

"No movement...... I'm afraid, the reply may not be a good decision! Qin Ming sneered.

Gonggong Liu asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to investigate the content of the reply?" ”

"No need, what is the content, just see what the prince of Yuan Kingdom will do next." Qin Ming waved his hand.

Gonggong Liu nodded, and said: "I always feel that this prince of the Yuan Kingdom is very hypocritical, he looks like he is dressed in white like snow, and his face is gentle and elegant, but in fact, he is quite scheming!" ”

"Well, I also feel this way, but don't worry, the Yuan State is not a country worthy of the fear of the Chu State, so let him go, if he buys a book in a proper manner, I will sell it to him. If you have any thoughts, then be prepared to suffer the consequences! ”

Gonggong Liu said: "This is also ~"

"By the way, where is Xue Rengui now?" Qin Ming spoke.

"Back to Your Majesty, General Xue, Marshal Long and General Zhu are guarding in the south, Qing District, Aolai District and other places."

Qin Ming said again: "The management work of these places should also be implemented." ”

"That's right, the good officials in various places don't need to move, and the officials in question have been replaced by talents from our Chu State. General Xue and the officials sent over were also fighting against some of the big families that had been left in various places, and some chaotic forces.

Now, it has also reached the final stage, and it won't be long before it comes, in addition to some garrison generals, several generals and marshals are also coming back soon. ”

Qin Ming took a deep breath, still very satisfied in his heart.

Ruling several countries, relatively smoothly.

And Qin Ming couldn't wait, hoping that Marshal Long and them would come back,

Now that the geographical area has expanded, Qin Ming has already issued an order to recruit soldiers to the military department, just waiting for a few generals and marshals to come back to train these soldiers.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming took a deep breath, industrial development, economic development, agricultural development, construction development, and army development......

As long as these continue to develop steadily, the state of Chu will not surpass all the big countries?

Qin Ming sat on the chair, and after taking a few sips of tea, he was about to say something more, but he saw the white robe walk in and said to Qin Ming:

"Your Majesty, just now someone secretly tried to sneak into the printing house, and after being discovered, he was poisoned and died, and his identity could not be found."

Qin Ming was very calm and said, "It's from the Yuan Kingdom!" ”

"I also doubted it, but the prince of the Yuan Kingdom just sent another book list and ordered more than a million books." The white robe said.

He thought, since the prince of Yuan Guo also placed an order, there is no need, and he still sent someone to steal the technology, right?

Qin Ming sneered and said: "That's right, it must be that he didn't complete the task of stealing technology, so he hurriedly handed over an order, first, to eliminate suspicion, and second, even if we suspect it, he gave an order of a few hundred taels of silver, and it will not be good for him." ”

Hearing Qin Ming say this, Bai Pao felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "So it makes sense, then Your Majesty, do you want to ......?"

"Don't touch him, they can't take advantage, let them toss, you just protect the printing house and don't let them succeed." Qin Ming said.

The white robe nodded: "Understood, then I'll go down!" ”

After the white robe left, Qin Minggang poured another cup of tea, but saw Lai Yuejin come again.

This product has placed a position in the dark web for him, because he is a five-grade master, light and strong, so it is more special, and many special things are done by him.

After he came, he looked panicked, Qin Ming was puzzled when he saw this, and before he could ask, Lai Yuejin bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the 10 million books ordered by Xicang Kingdom last time have already been shipped to the past. And these five million copies were robbed on the way to the Western Cangguo! ”

Qin Ming's face changed, he stood up suddenly, and said, "What? By...... Robbery? Who is so bold? Even the book given by the State of Chu to the State of Xicang dared to rob it? ”

"Hundreds of soldiers have been killed, and the murderer has not yet been found, the secret guard has already gone to investigate, in addition, the Xicang Kingdom is also angry, and some officials have been assigned to the place where the accident occurred, and at the same time, the emperor of the Xicang Kingdom said that the responsibility is ours." Lai Yuejin said points.

Qin Ming touched his nose, nonsense, he knew that in his place, the thing was lost before it reached the hands of others, which was clearly the fault of the delivery party.

Now the top priority is to find these five million books, these books, but the Xicang Kingdom received 20 million taels of silver, even if the Chu State printed another 5 million copies, the cost would be hundreds of thousands of silver.

Qin Ming didn't want to lose hundreds of thousands of silver and regain it, besides, if someone robbed a book, if he dared to rob it once, he would dare to do it twice, where was the majesty of the Chu State?

In this matter, you have to look it up and find the book.

So, Qin Ming immediately ordered Lai Yuejin and the secret guards to go all out to investigate, especially the country passing by, in Qin Ming's opinion, some robbers, there is no need to come and rob books, because it is useless to rob them, do you expect them to read too?

Besides, they don't have the guts.

Therefore, Qin Ming has a lot of reason to suspect that it was the local country that did it.

You know, apart from the state of Chu, which country is not short of books?
