All Heavens and Worlds Modified History System

Chapter 385 Oh my, it’s all my~~~
The six countries in Kanto have been rather confused lately.

The ferocious Qin State has not gone to war for some time.

What’s even more exaggerated is that the Qin people stopped fighting and started doing business instead.

Their envoys sold all kinds of ironware to various countries, ranging from farm tools to weapons and armor.

The Qin envoys vowed that they had plenty of these things and would sell them in as many quantities as desired, with larger quantities given at a lower price.

After careful research, smelters from various countries were surprised to find that the quality of ironware provided by Qin was extremely good, so good that it was unbelievable.

Originally, Chen Ran also suggested providing high-manganese steel rails to various countries at low prices, allowing each country to build the rails themselves to facilitate marching and transportation in future wars.

However, Lu Buwei politely declined this proposal.

His original words were, "The six nations are greedy and mean. If they get high-quality steel at a low price, they will definitely melt it to make weapons and armor, and will not sell it."

Chen Ran thought about it and it made sense. The Qin army was currently replacing their armor and weapons with steel, and all that was sold were made of iron. If the six countries were to obtain a large amount of high-manganese steel, that would not be a good thing.

The six countries were very interested in the cheap iron objects and expressed their willingness to buy them.

However, the purchasing method proposed by the Qin State was to transform the monarchs and ministers of various countries into Louis XVI.

"If you want to buy Qin iron, you should use Qin currency."

Countries have said that we do not have such a thing as Qin currency.

Qin's response was even more straightforward. Since there was nothing to borrow, Qin was willing to lend a large amount of Qin currency to other countries at a very low interest rate so that they could purchase Qin's goods.

This operation really messed up all the countries.

The King of Zhao simply asked, "Isn't Qin afraid that we will default on our debts?"

The Qin envoy's response was simple: "Qin has the ability to collect debts by force!"

Qin's monetary policy was very open, and it even allowed the six states to purchase houses in Xianyang city as long as the price was right.

Their request was very simple: all countries could use Qin currency to purchase any Qin goods.

Correspondingly, the Qin State could also use Qin currency to purchase goods from various countries.

After intense discussions, Qi was the first to agree.

Qi’s idea is very simple. I am so far away from you, even if I default on my debt, there are people in front to support me.

Why wouldn't you want such a free benefit?

The rest of the countries are still in a state of hesitation and confusion.

Xianyang City, Xianyang Palace.

"Let them taste the sweetness first, and gradually become inseparable from Qin currency." Chen Ran explained to Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei, "Once their position is completely established, we can start to reap the benefits."

Lü Buwei asked earnestly, "Master, when can you say that your position is established?"

Chen Ran said with a smile, "When Qin can bribe the internal supporters of other countries by only giving Qin coins instead of gold, the matter will be settled."

Lu Buwei nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ji had no interest in these political affairs. Seeing that the two were getting more and more excited, she simply said to send them away, "Bu Wei, you go ahead and do your work. I have something important to discuss with the Immortal Master."

Lu Buwei muttered to himself, "What important matter can it be? It's just pleasure."

But this was a good thing for him, so he quickly got up and said goodbye and left.

This is Zhao Ji's bedroom. She had driven out all the servants early on.

Chen Ran looked at the empress dowager in front of him speechlessly.

Unlike the empress dowagers who served as regents in past dynasties, Zhao Ji was not very interested in power. What she really liked was aerobic exercise.

She can be considered a rare gem among the empress dowagers who serve as regents.

"Master." Zhao Ji came closer with her beautiful eyes blurred. "Master, please fetch the magic weapon~~~"

Chen Ran stared at her in confusion. Logically speaking, Zhao Ji should also help to modify the subtitles.

After thinking about it, he decided to try a different approach.

Pushing Zhao Ji away, Chen Ran simply ordered, "Get a whip."

After several sessions of practice, two lines of subtitles indeed floated before Chen Ran's eyes.

'Meet the historical figure Zhao Ji, the mother of Ying Zheng, the first empress dowager in history, famous for her beauty. She did not fight for power, but loved money by nature, and her name was recorded in history books for her debauchery in the harem.'

'Note: You can modify two of the words.'

"Sure enough, I have to change my thinking." Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction and immediately changed 'naturally fond of silver' to 'naturally loyal'.

"Queen Mother."

He packed up and immediately stood up to leave. "I won't come here again."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji rushed over and hugged him, tears in her eyes, "If you don't come, I will die in front of you~~~"

Chen Ran'°□°'

This isn’t right. Wasn’t it changed? Could it be that the system is broken?

He looked at Zhao Ji in doubt, and when their eyes met, he saw deep affection and determination in her beautiful eyes.

"Sigh~~~"

Chen Ran understood instantly, "Loyalty has changed to me~~~"

This is depressing.

He came here to work and really had no interest in romance.

After all, this is not a female-oriented series. If you don’t have love, you will die.

The system also added to the confusion, and directly gave him subtitles.

'The modification of Zhao Ji has been completed, and the rewards are now issued.'

'Note: Oil production, refining and storage complex (fully automated operation, the nodding machine is placed directly on the oil field to produce oil on its own. Annual oil production and refining capacity of 10 million tons.)'

"Lü Buwei was born into a business family, so it's understandable that he gave him a money printing machine."

"Ying Zheng is the cornerstone of the Qin State, so it makes sense for him to be the foundation of the steel industry."

"But why would Zhao Ji be given to the oil extraction and refining consortium? Is it because she has too much oil and water?" Greasy and watery, just like a blowout during oil extraction.

It's not wrong to think so.

Chen Ran was also speechless. He always felt that something was wrong with the system this time.

"Wait until I finish my work."

There are naturally oil fields in Guanzhong, and they are very large.

Although mining is difficult, it is not a problem at all with the technical support of the system.

Chen Ran’s only question was, what was the use of getting these fuels?
No matter how much oil he produces, he has nowhere to use it.

There is no other way but to put it aside temporarily and wait and see if I can find anything useful when I meet other historical figures.

Chen Ran is very busy at work.

Normally, the production of Qin coins would be arranged in Xianyang city in the morning, with denominations ranging from one yuan to one hundred yuan.

For smaller denominations, copper coins were used instead.

Providing a large amount of Qin coins can effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient liquidity in an era of low productivity.

In an era of low productivity, metal currency is never enough.

So the practice of using shells and silk as currency came into being.

In most places, transactions are still based on barter.

The massive amount of banknotes injected into the market has the effect of rapidly increasing commercial liquidity.

Moreover, the quality of the banknotes is very good. Not only do we not have to worry about counterfeiting, but the common people are more willing to accept them.

Of course, there are also various iron farm tools and other products that can only be purchased with paper money to promote it.

Simply taking a piece of paper and saying that it can be used to buy something, no one will be willing to use it, no matter how beautiful it is.

It must be given the ability to exchange goods.

Under normal circumstances, precious metals such as gold and silver are used as anchors.

Now, the added value is the ironware produced.

After lunch, Chen Ran would ride to the steel plant west of Fengshui to arrange for the delivery of raw materials and production.

Lu Buwei mobilized tens of thousands of people to mine raw materials, and then transported them in carts.

These raw materials are simply piled up at designated locations and the steel plant will automatically take them away.

The production aspect is exaggerated, such as hoes, sickles, plows and other farm tools.

Chen Ran only needs to make a selection on the control panel and enter the quantity.

Large quantities of products will appear in piles at the exit.

In many places in the Qin State, the common people were still working with wooden or even stone farm tools.

It is easy to imagine how low the production efficiency of this kind of agricultural tool is.

After switching to iron farm tools, production efficiency will undoubtedly increase significantly.

There's no rush for armor and weapons.

In addition to meeting the orders from the six countries, not much steel armor and steel weapons were produced. Because Qin was not at war now and raw materials were limited, Chen Ran believed that it was more important to meet civilian demand first.

The main products produced are high manganese steel rails.

The first steel rail railway was produced together with accessories such as rivets, and it ran from the factory to the mine.

More than 10,000 people were busy preparing the ground for laying rails.

It’s not that we can’t mobilize more people to work, it’s that production capacity can’t keep up.

In other words, the supply of raw materials is insufficient.

In addition to rails, Chen Ran also arranged for the production of a number of steel-structured bridge components.

Used to build bridges.

With the technology and productivity of the Warring States Period, the only way to cross a slightly wider river was to use a ferry or, at most, to build a floating bridge.

Every river has a significant impact on transportation.

Chen Ran was only responsible for producing equipment and providing drawings, while the specific construction was left to Mo Jia.

Among the various schools of thought, most were empty talkers who focused on one's nature, morality, character, etc.

Those who really get things done are mostly from schools such as Mohism and Agriculture.

The place where these practical schools of thought flourished most was the Qin State.

It is because of their efforts that Qin's national strength has grown rapidly.

When it came to the war to destroy the State of Qi, which was the Confucian stronghold, they did not dare to fight at all and surrendered directly.

Not only did they surrender to Qin, but in history, after Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, the corrupt scholars of Qi cried at Xiang Yu's grave. Liu Bang personally led the army there, and these people surrendered again immediately~~~
If you think about the various surrenders, kneelings, and persuasion forms shown by Confucianists over thousands of years of history, it is no wonder that Chen Ran has always looked down on them.

After arranging the work at the steel plant, Chen Ran would ride his horse back to Xianyang City and go directly to the Xianyang Palace.

He did not go looking for Zhao Ji, but went to find Ying Zheng to teach him, mainly scientific knowledge.

After all, he is a scientist, and he knows everything about astronomy, geography, physics and chemistry.

Ying Zheng had a very serious attitude towards learning, probably because he regarded science as theology.

Apart from Chen Ran, he is the person in this world who has the deepest understanding of science.

Especially when Chen Ran spread the world map he drew in front of him, he could clearly see the burning fire in Ying Zheng's eyes.

It was a look of extreme longing.

Whenever Ying Zheng looked at the world map and trembled with excitement, Chen Ran would dub for him.

"Oh, it's all oh~~~"
