Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 173: Holding the battle flag, looking at the distant sky

"Yes, she is a woman, but she knows so much."

The craftsmen were talking about it.

"Everyone." Feng Jie looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "These drawings are of great importance. We must produce them as soon as possible. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes." The craftsmen shouted in unison.

"Okay." Feng Jie nodded with satisfaction, "I'll give you half a month. After half a month, I must see the steam engine and the train."

"Yes." The craftsmen responded and began to work.

"Remember." Feng Jie looked at the craftsmen and said in a cold voice, "If you can't do it, don't blame me for being rude. You should know how much His Majesty values ​​this matter. If you dare to delay, all nine of your clans will be punished."

After hearing Feng Jie's words, all the craftsmen's faces changed.

"Of course." Feng Jie changed his tone and said with a smile, "If you do well, I will report to His Majesty and reward you handsomely."

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. After hearing Feng Jie's words, all the craftsmen became excited.

In the next few days, Feng Jie moved directly to the Shaofu and personally supervised the work of the craftsmen.

Under Feng Jie's strict supervision, the craftsmen worked day and night with extremely high efficiency.

After just three days, the craftsmen had figured out the construction methods and precautions for the rails.

"Everyone." Feng Jie looked at the craftsmen in front of him and said in a deep voice, "I will give you two days now. After two days, I hope to see steam engines and trains."

"Yes." The craftsmen responded and continued to work hard.

Looking at the busy figures of the craftsmen, a smile appeared on Feng Jie's face.

"Mr. Lin." Feng Jie murmured to himself, "You are truly a noble person of the Great Qin."

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another five days have passed.

During these five days, Feng Jie continued to exert pressure, and finally, on the evening of the eighth day, the craftsmen brought good news.

"Sir, the steam engine and the train have been completed." A craftsman said excitedly.

"Great." Feng Jie stood up excitedly, "Take me to see it."

"Yes." The craftsman responded and brought Feng Jie outside.

At this time, there were two strange vehicles parked outside, with white smoke coming out of them.

"Is this a steam engine and a train?" Feng Jie asked excitedly.

"Yes." The craftsman nodded, "We have tested it and found that the steam engine can drive the train to run."

"Great." Feng Jie was very excited. "Notify His Majesty immediately, and then you continue your research and make sure to make them more perfect."

"Yes." The craftsman responded and then stepped back.

Feng Jie stood there, looking at the steam engine and train in front of him, his heart filled with excitement.

He knew that the history of the Qin Dynasty was about to be rewritten.

……

Xianyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, Lord Feng has sent someone to deliver a letter," said the eunuch.

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was stunned, "Bring it here quickly."

Ying Zheng took the letter and began to read it.

"Haha." After reading it, Ying Zheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Li Si asked puzzledly.

"The steam engine research has been successful." Ying Zheng said with a big laugh.

"Really?" Li Si was also stunned.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, "Feng Jie has sent someone to deliver the news."

"Great." Li Si said excitedly, "With the steam engine, the strength of our Great Qin will be further improved."

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded vigorously, "Pass on my order and have Feng Jie enter the palace as soon as possible."

"Yes." The eunuch responded and retreated.

Half an hour later, Feng Jie walked into the Xianyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Feng Jie saluted.

"Stand up." Ying Zheng waved his hand. "Feng Jie, how is the steam engine research going?"

"Your Majesty, the steam engine has been successfully researched." Feng Jie said.

"Great." Ying Zheng said excitedly, "Can a steam engine really drive a vehicle?"

"Yes." Feng Jie nodded, "The vehicle can travel very fast on the rails."

"Great." Ying Zheng was very excited, "Feng Jie, you did a great job."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Feng Jie smiled and said, "However, there is still a problem now."

"What's the problem?" Ying Zheng asked.

"We have only developed two trains now," said Feng Jie.

"Two?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

"Yes." Feng Jie nodded, "If we want to build railways on a large scale, we will need more trains."

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, "I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure to build more trains as soon as possible."

"Yes." Feng Jie responded, "Your Majesty, I have another request."

"Speak." Ying Zheng said.

"I request Your Majesty to mobilize all the slaves from the ten counties to build the railway," said Feng Jie.

"Okay." Ying Zheng agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Jie said gratefully.

……

The next day, Feng Jie announced the method of building railways to the ten counties, and at the same time, he also distributed the drawings of the steam engine.

After receiving the news, the county governors of the ten counties were all excited. They were well aware of the value of railways and steam engines.

So, they mobilized the entire county's strength without hesitation and began to build the railway.

For a time, the entire Qin territory was bustling with activity.

……

Feng Jie stood on the city wall, holding a battle flag in his hand, looking at the distant sky.

There was a gleam of determination in his eyes.

"Your Majesty." Feng Jie murmured to himself, "I, Feng Jie, will ensure the eternal prosperity of the Great Qin even at my death!"

……

Ten days later, the first dirt road was completed, leading directly from Xianyang to Shangjun.

Although this dirt road is not as good as the cement roads of later generations, it is already considered a super road in this era.

At the same time, the institute also worked out how to build a train.

Lin Anlan's drawings and ideas were finally transformed into reality.

With resources allocated, Daqin's engineers began to build trains.

The entire Qin Dynasty was put into operation because of railways and steam engines.

……

Qiang battlefield.

Zhao Tuo, Wang Li, Prince Jianglu and Li Xin stood on the hillside, observing the battlefield in the distance through telescopes.

At this time on the battlefield, the Qin army and the Huns were fighting fiercely.

Although the Qin army had the advantage, the Huns' resistance was also very tenacious, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

"Alas." Zhao Tuo sighed and put down the telescope.

"General Zhao, why are you sighing?" asked Prince Jianglu.

"We suffered heavy losses in this battle." Zhao Tuo said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Young Master Jianglu nodded, "The fighting power of the Xiongnu is stronger than I thought."

"Yes." Zhao Tuo nodded, "Their cavalry is very powerful. Our cavalry is no match for them."

"This is not a solution." Wang Li frowned and said.

"That's right." Li Xin also nodded, "We must think of a way."

The four of them looked at each other and fell into silence.
