【Ding! Congratulations to the host, for successfully building a steam tractor, making all ministers surrender, and receiving ten cosmetic boxes as a reward! 】
Just when the ministers were exclaiming about the magic of steam tractors, a mechanical sound of the system suddenly sounded in Ying Feiyu's mind.
Makeup case?
Brother, are you kidding me?
We are pure men, what is the use of giving me this thing?
Finally got a reward, but Ying Feiyu was not happy at all!
However, the big brother of the system pretended to be mute and stopped talking!
There was no other way, so Ying Feiyu had no choice but to open the system warehouse and see what it was about!
"Hiss..."
After seeing the ten boxes lying quietly in the warehouse, I couldn't help but take a breath.
Good guy, the box is as big as a twenty-inch suitcase.
It's sparkling with gold and inlaid with countless colorful gems. It's extremely luxurious!
After opening it, there were hundreds of small bottles and cans of various colors.
Fortunately, I also had a girlfriend for a few days in later generations, so I probably know the use of these things!
It's just... isn't this too luxurious?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Great Qin, Your Highness the Crown Prince has created another artifact for Great Qin that will benefit the country and the people!"
While Ying Feiyu was stunned, all the ministers congratulated Ying Zheng one after another.
They also didn't expect that the inconspicuous steam tractor could be so powerful.
"Well! This tractor has indeed solved the people's farming problem, and it has also solved the imperial court's immigration problem!"
Ying Zheng was very surprised to see the power of the steam tractor with his own eyes.
Then he turned to look at the founder of the steam tractor, "Feiyu, when will this steam tractor be mass-produced and popularized throughout the Qin Dynasty?"
"Huh? What?"
Ying Feiyu's consciousness was immersed in the system. He didn't expect to be called out suddenly, and his face was full of confusion.
"I ask you, when will this tractor become popular!"
"Ah! Father said this...!"
Ying Feiyu suddenly laughed, "The tractor has just been successfully developed and is squeezed together with the steam train. Why can't it be mass-produced until next spring when the factory is built! If we want the whole of Daqin to use tractors, it will take three Five years!”
"It will take three to five years to become popular?"
Upon hearing this number, the smile on Ying Zheng's face suddenly stopped, "That means that the immigration matter will be delayed for another three to five years? Can't it be faster?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just encourage it, right? The Ministry of Industry has only a limited number of craftsmen. My father has to build railways and build factories, so the craftsmen don't have a lot of heads and six arms!"
"Furthermore, even after the factory is built, recruiting and training workers is not an easy task. You have to take your time!"
Ying Feiyu persuaded patiently.
"well……"
Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly.
Before, he thought that Da Qin was a huge country.
Now it seems that the population is still too small and there is simply not enough distribution!
He wants to build trains, build a steam tractor factory, and also wants a large number of immigrants!
But what about population? Where is the population?
Without a population, who will do the work for you?
There is no other way, now we can only wait!
When the tractor factory is slowly built, tractors will be popularized throughout the Qin Dynasty and the labor force will be liberated.
"Feng Shangshu!"
"I'm here!"
Feng Quji handed over his hands and went out.
"Although the tractor was developed by His Highness the Prince, you must fully cooperate with us in building the factory!"
Ying Zheng issued the order.
"yes!"
Feng Quji immediately took the order.
In fact, even if Ying Zheng doesn't say anything, he will fully cooperate!
Because as long as they work for the prince, the craftsmen will not only receive the normal salary from the court, but the young master will also receive an extra portion, and will also give part of the Ministry of Works as compensation. Why not?
"It seems that starting from next year, a large number of steam tractor factories will be built to continuously manufacture steam tractors!"
"That's for sure. Steam tractors plow the land quickly and well, saving time and effort, and can free up a lot of labor!"
"In this way, the young master will make a lot of money again!"
…
After Ying Zheng ordered the mass production of steam tractors, the ministers immediately cast envious eyes on Ying Feiyu.
Every time the prince makes a move, it will definitely benefit the country and the people and make a lot of money at the same time!
The same goes for the steam tractor this time!
Produced and sold all over the Qin Dynasty, the money earned is not a small amount of money!
"Your Highness, this steam tractor is indeed good, but I don't know how much it costs. If it is too expensive, even ordinary people may not be able to afford it!"
Zhang Han stared at the tractor for a long time. Most of its structure was made of fine iron, so it was probably not cheap.
“This hasn’t been calculated yet. We can’t estimate its value until the tractors are mass-produced!”
Ying Feiyu said.
"The train has been running for a while and it seems to be still popular. I wonder if the revenue has been calculated?"
When talking about the cost of steam tractors, Ying Zheng suddenly thought of trains.
They have invested a lot of money in this!
"Every day the train tickets are sold out three to five days in advance, and the seats are packed. The same goes for freight. The queues are at least three days. Judging from the current situation, if it is fast, it will only pay back in seven or eight years, and if it is slow, it will be enough in ten years! "
Ying Feiyu made a rough estimate.
"Oh? So fast?"
Ying Zheng and the ministers were suddenly shocked.
At the beginning, it was said that trains were a business passed down from generation to generation, and they bought shares in order to leave an inheritance to future generations.
I didn’t expect that I could get my money back within ten years at the latest.
Doesn’t that mean that they can get the train’s dividends in their lifetime?
"That's right!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
After this period of time, people's novelty towards trains has diminished, and today's demand should be the most real!
Although you can’t buy train tickets on the day, as long as you plan your trip well and buy a few days in advance, it’s still possible!
So Ying Feiyu is not planning to increase the number of trains!
After this year, the other two railways will begin surveying and construction, and a large number of trains will be needed by then!
"That's great. I can get my money back in ten years. I should still be able to see that day!"
"I don't know if you can see it, but I'm still young and can definitely wait until the day of dividends!"
"You old man, do you still want to show off? If I remember correctly, you should have been born two years later than someone else!"
"So what? Look at your head full of white hair, how can you even have a black hair? Look at me again. It's hard to find a single white hair. It's not a problem to live decades longer than you!"
"Quickly pull him down. My nephew is more than ten years younger than you. Didn't he suddenly die a few days ago? It's useless what you say!"
"Hmph! No matter what, I am younger than you...!"
The two ministers were talking and suddenly started to quarrel.
What started out as whispers turned into loud curses.
In the end, they were scolded by Ying Zheng, and both of them became more honest!
Then Ying Zheng asked in detail about the structure and use of the steam engine, as well as its future distribution in various places, before leading the people out of the other courtyard.
