When Ying Feiyu got the hand-operated generator back from Ying Zheng, he called Huang Yuan to the palace and showed it to him and Ying Heng.
As expected, Huang Yuan immediately showed great interest.
Even though Ying Heng had seen a hand-operated generator before, he was still very interested!
Then Ying Feiyu explained the principle again, saying that he wanted to build a generator set and set up a power plant!
Huang Yuan simply flipped through the drawings and promised to produce it within half a year!
Next up is the power plant!
What Ying Feiyu wants to build is a hydroelectric power plant, which can use natural resources to generate electricity without causing too much pollution to the natural environment!
It’s just that it will be more difficult to build than a thermal power plant!
Nowadays, all industrial expansion of Ying Feiyu has been handed over to the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Works was also happy to take on this job.
Because as long as there are projects, the craftsmen in their Ministry of Works can earn double salaries, and at the same time, the Ministry of Works will also have money.
The most important thing is that Feng Quji wants to invest in electric power, so of course the power plant must be built as quickly as possible!
After everything was arranged, the snowflakes were already falling.
Fusu followed Ying Feiyu's example and built a greenhouse in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, hoping to grow some fruits and vegetables.
Since it was the first time to build it and I had little experience, I asked Mr. Shota to check and see if there was anything missing.
"Yes, it's already very good. As long as the temperature is maintained, vegetables can grow normally!"
After turning around and finding nothing missing, Ying Feiyu nodded and said.
"That's good. The lentils newly cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are planted in these soils, as well as the cantaloupe and spinach seeds brought by Queen Loulan. If everything goes well, you can taste them in the New Year, and they can be promoted smoothly next year! "
Fusu showed off to Ying Feiyu enthusiastically.
"Well! As long as the temperature is suitable, lentils can be grown twice a year! Spinach has high nutritional value. It can not only help digestion, but also nourish yin and calm the liver. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals! Hami melon is not only sweet, It’s also very nutritious and really needs to be cultivated well!”
Ying Feiyu nodded and smiled.
He never expected that Fusu would become obsessed with agriculture and turn a blind eye to state affairs after seeing the high yield of grain.
That is to say, only when agriculture is mentioned, his face will be filled with smile and he will talk more!
Nowadays, I rarely even go to morning pilgrimage!
Ying Zheng didn't want to say anything more. Anyway, he had already found his successor, and everyone else could do whatever they liked!
It is much better than everyone focusing on this throne and fighting!
"I heard from other royal brothers a few days ago that you have invented another kind of electricity. Will it be integrated into people's lives and production in the future, and it can even replace steam engines?"
Fusu ignored government affairs, but was very concerned about the lives of the people. After hearing about this incident, he immediately became interested.
It's just that I have been busy studying this greenhouse, so I didn't go to see Xiaoshota.
I just happened to take advantage of today to make some inquiries.
"Yes, the power plant and units are producing. From now on, there will be street lights on the roads, and Xianyang will become a city that never sleeps...!"
Ying Feiyu briefly introduced electricity and electromagnetic induction to him, and Fusu was stunned for a while.
"Since this electricity is so magical, how can it help agriculture?"
Fusu blinked and looked at the little shota who was a head shorter than him with interest.
"Of course it helps...!"
Ying Feiyu nodded naturally and continued: "If nothing else, take this greenhouse as an example. Now it uses coal and firewood for heating. If there is electricity, you can use electricity for heating, and it will automatically Adjust the temperature, it will automatically cut off the power when it reaches a certain temperature, and it will automatically heat up when it falls below this temperature to maintain the temperature in the shed!"
"In addition, you can also supplement light! For example, when the sunlight is reduced in winter, you can turn on specific lights to allow plants to continue photosynthesis, allowing plants to grow quickly and increase crop yields!"
"That's really good!"
Hearing this, Fusu's eyes lit up even more.
“However, if electricity is to be popularized, it cannot be accomplished overnight!”
Electricity is a big project. Even in later generations, it took more than ten years for every household to have stable access to electricity!
"Well, I know this. Just like a railway, it must be built one by one!"
"That's right!"
"I heard that the railway from Longxi to Jiaodong will be completed soon?"
"Yes! This time the Ministry of Industry has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to speed up the construction. It is estimated that it will be completed by the end of the year!"
"Doesn't that mean that the army for the Western Expedition will be able to set off after the New Year?"
"Army? Depart? Depart for what? Where to go?"
Fusu's words really confused Ying Feiyu.
Recently he has been studying electricity and knows nothing about military matters.
Is that old guy Ying Zheng going to send troops to fight?
It shouldn’t be, there’s no way he wouldn’t know about such a big thing, right?
No matter how busy he is, he goes to court every day. If there is a war, it is impossible for him not to know about it?
"When I sent watermelons to my father today, I heard him mention that he was going to send troops to conquer the Qiang. He also promised that he would send someone to look for crops that we don't have in China!"
Since Ying Zheng appointed Ying Feiyu as his successor, his requirements for other princes have become lower and lower, and his father's love has gradually emerged.
Anyway, I don’t expect anything to happen to them. It’s already great if they can think about the people like Fusu!
If you can't do that, just be a prince with peace of mind and have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life!
"What? This old guy... Oh! No! It's my father! My father is not young anymore, so how can he still say that wind is rain? The Qiang people are not young at all. They will conquer if they say they want to conquer?"
In a moment of urgency, Ying Feiyu recalled what he called Ying Zheng in his mind. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and corrected it in time.
But Fusu still heard it.
He is not Ying Zheng. He is old and his ears are not so sensitive.
Fusu was still in his prime, so even if he corrected it in time, he would still hear it clearly!
Fusu smiled fondly, "Feiyu! Among all the emperor's brothers, you are the bravest!"
If it were anyone else, let alone calling him an old guy, he wouldn't even dare to give him a look of contempt.
Who wouldn't be respectful to their father when they meet him, and wouldn't dare to say the wrong thing?
That is, Fei Yu, no matter what he does, his father will not blame him!
"Brother Imperial, it's not that I'm brave, it's that you are too brave!"
Knowing that Fusu heard what he called Ying Zheng, Ying Feiyu did not make any attempt to hide it, but stuck out his tongue playfully.
These princes have been strictly required by Ying Zheng since they were young, hoping to cultivate a qualified successor.
If you make the slightest mistake, you will be reprimanded or even punished.
So much so that they were in awe of Ying Zheng.
In the words of later generations, that is psychological shadow!
And Ying Feiyu's thoughts come from later generations, and he grew up in the countryside, so he is naturally unrestrained!
"Okay, brother, I have to go find my father quickly and ask what's going on!"
When Ying Feiyu learned that Ying Zheng intended to conquer the Qiang, he did not dare to delay for a moment and left quickly.
