"Don't tell me, such a simple gadget is actually brighter than ten candles. It really shouldn't be underestimated!"
After seeing the light bulb glowing, Ying Zheng grinned and began to look at the hand generator carefully.
The same goes for Wang Ben and others, who began to look at handcrank generators with admiration!
"His Royal Highness is right, this electricity is really not as scary as we thought!"
"Well! It's not terrible, but it's just too tiring. If you want to keep the light bulb on stably for a long time, you have to rotate several people and shake it constantly. It's not very cost-effective if you think about it!"
"That's right! Your Majesty can only afford to use this thing. Among ordinary people, who has the time to shake this thing?"
"If you look at it this way, this electricity is not very practical...!"
Although the light emitted by the electric lamp shocked everyone, when you think about it carefully, it is not practical.
"No, no, no, electricity can be produced in many ways. The hand-cranked generator is just to let my father understand electricity. If you really want it to be practical, you have to build a larger generator set!"
"Then...the generator set you mentioned doesn't need to be shaken?"
"Of course, electricity is widely used, and the demand will be huge in the future. Just relying on hand cranking is not enough for many people!"
Ying Feiyu smiled and continued: "The power needed to generate electricity can be obtained from nature, such as wind power, fire power and water power...!"
Next, Ying Feiyu explained in detail the role of electricity and the principle of power generation!
"So that's it...!"
The veterans listened in stunned silence for a long time, then finally understood and nodded as if they had realized something.
"According to what you mean, as long as there are rivers, electricity can be produced by water power, and then transmitted to the places where it is needed through wires?"
Ying Zheng asked.
"That's right! That's what it means! In the future, both people's lives and factory production will be inseparable from electricity. It is even said that when technology develops to a certain extent, even trains can rely on electricity, and their speed will be more than twice as fast as now. !”
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"What? Electricity can double the speed of a train?"
The veterans’ jaws suddenly dropped.
It is said that people's lives and production are inseparable from electricity. Old people do not have an intuitive understanding.
But take the train as an example, and they immediately understood!
Today's steam trains can travel thousands of miles a day.
If electricity were used, wouldn't it mean that one could walk two thousand miles a day?
Going to Yanmen County, can we arrive in six hours?
"That's right! But this is only if technology allows it! It's still difficult to achieve now!"
In later generations, it was only after trains had been running for decades that high-speed rail was built on a large scale.
At this time, Daqin only has one railway track laid, so the high-speed rail should wait!
However, Ying Feiyu believes that as long as there is a beginning, the rest will be simple.
As long as future generations study hard, they will definitely be able to study it!
"Then... wouldn't this electricity be like a train, which can make money continuously?"
Just when the other veterans were immersed in shock, Zhang Han's eyes suddenly lit up.
Everyone needs electricity, which means there is a very huge market!
Now that the market is there, isn’t it about making money?
"Yeah! You can also say that!"
The corners of Ying Feiyu's mouth raised unconsciously.
Should I say it or not, this old guy Zhang Han is really sensitive to money.
At first, he just wanted to do a favor to the old guys, attract the attention of the scumbag, and let him return to Xianyang early, so he moved out the hand-cranked generator and then explained it.
Unexpectedly, this old guy Zhang Han immediately smelled the smell of money and knew that this thing could make money!
"I'm afraid that electricity, like railways, is also a business that can be passed down from generation to generation, right?"
Zhang Han was delighted when he guessed it, raised his brows, and asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, other old guys' eyes lit up and they stared at the young lady with burning eyes.
"Yeah! That's almost it!"
Ying Feiyu pursed his lips secretly and nodded slightly.
"No! I want to buy shares!"
In fact, Ying Zheng still has only a half-understanding of what he heard.
But just because he didn't understand, it didn't mean that Zhang Han didn't understand.
That old guy is like a slippery man, as long as he understands it, that's fine!
Moreover, just for a legendary transaction, it is worth investing in.
Not to mention when we can see the profits, at least it can be passed down to the world. In the future, if the shares are divided, all the princes can benefit, which is also good!
"Your Highness, considering that Bieyuan and X's residence are opposite each other, don't forget X when you buy shares!"
Zhang Han followed closely, eager to take a stake.
"Yes, there's me too! I'm your future father-in-law, so you have to let me become a shareholder, right?"
When there was a good opportunity to make money, Wang Ben was naturally unwilling to lag behind others and used relatives to get close to him.
"And us, we all want to be shareholders too...!"
The other veterans present raised their hands one after another, standing taller than the other, for fear that Ying Feiyu wouldn't be able to see them.
"Father, ministers, you are too anxious. The generator set has not been built yet!"
Seeing them scrambling, Ying Feiyu laughed helplessly.
"I don't care if you build it well or not. Anyway, you must tell me first when you buy shares. Otherwise, I will definitely not let you develop this electricity!"
In order to make money by investing in shares, Ying Zheng directly made harsh words.
Anyway, people are living a good life now without electricity.
"Forehead……"
Ying Feiyu flattened his lips and said, "Okay, when I need to buy shares later, I will definitely tell my father and several ministers!"
In fact, even if Ying Zheng didn't speak, he still had to take the initiative to report it.
To popularize electricity is a very huge project. If you want to implement this project, how can you not notify Ying Zheng first?
"Haha! Thank you so much, His Royal Highness!"
With these words, several veterans finally felt confident.
"After the generator set is built, the money required will be converted into shares. My father and the ministers can volunteer how many shares they want to buy at that time!"
If we want to popularize electricity quickly, we must build power plants in various counties and counties in Daqin, and the money required is not a small amount.
At that time, not only will these old guys be allowed to take shares, but all the ministers in the DPRK and even the wealthy private households will be able to participate!
"good!"
The veterans agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
"But I, the prince, should put the ugly words ahead. Although electricity is profitable, it also requires a lot of investment. It may be under development in recent years or even decades, and the benefits may not be guaranteed. Everyone should think about it. !”
Electricity will be needed by every household in the future, and it may make money faster than railways.
But at the same time, it also needs to continue to expand, and it will not see profits in a short time like wine shops and restaurants.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. We are mentally prepared for this. We simply cannot spend all the income generated by wine shops and restaurants. We are just in time to invest in electricity and leave the family business to future generations!"
Even if the profits cannot be seen in a short period of time, it will not affect the enthusiasm of veteran investors at all.
Because everyone knows that you can only be rich for three generations. No matter how much money you save, as long as there is a prodigal son among the descendants, everything will be ruined.
It is better to leave some family property, even if you meet a prodigal, you will not squander it all!
