After Ying Fan left, Ying Feiyu was no longer sleepy. After eating some Shaqima, he walked towards the Ministry of Works.
"Hey! The sky is clear today. What kind of wind brought His Highness here?"
After being informed, Feng Quji ran out to greet him enthusiastically.
Usually, they are the ones who come to Xianyang looking for the prince.
It is really unusual for His Highness the Crown Prince to come to him!
"Of course it's the electricity trend!"
Ying Feiyu didn't mince words and got down to business before even entering the door of the Ministry of Industry.
A large-scale power plant is to be built in the Guanzhong area, and this project must be carried out by none other than the Ministry of Industry!
"Electricity? But starting to build a power plant?"
Feng Quji's eyes lit up.
In terms of electricity, he can invest in a lot of shares.
The sooner you build a power plant, the sooner you can make money!
I can't guarantee that he will still be able to get electricity dividends before he is alive!
When it comes to money bags, he is naturally happy!
"That's right! Yu Wenxuan has gathered all the funds and can start construction at any time! Now it's up to you!"
Ying Feiyu walked towards the Hubu Yamen with his little hands on his back like a little adult.
In this day and age, he is actually not too young at his age!
There are not many people who get married and start a business at the age of twelve or thirteen, and there are many who start their own business!
He is now nine and a half years old, already half a young man!
"Your Highness, please rest assured. There are no big projects in the imperial court now, but there are many craftsmen in the Ministry of Works!"
Feng Qu said with a happy smile.
"That's good……!"
Ying Feiyu nodded and continued: "Slaves can be transferred to some dangerous jobs. Don't let the people of Great Qin take risks!"
"Of course, this is what was done the last time we built a power plant!"
Feng Quji responded.
As the Qin Dynasty continues to expand, there are more and more slaves!
Now they are not only allowed to mine, but also all the dirty, tiring, and dangerous work!
Things like building railroad tracks, cutting mountains and splitting rocks are all done by slaves!
The population of Daqin is too small to be protected, so how can they be allowed to do such dangerous work again?
"Well! Let Huang Yuan send two craftsmen who know electricity to come over and work with the people from the Ministry of Works to select a site!"
"This is the best!"
After responding to this matter, the Ministry of Industry immediately got busy.
Buy materials when you need to buy materials, and survey when you need to survey!
At the same time, the Daqin Railway has also begun comprehensive construction!
With the spoils of war from several countries and the gold constantly sent from Wodao, Yingzheng became arrogant and built five railways at once!
Since Ying Feiyu came to Da Qin, his status as a craftsman has improved.
Coupled with the high salaries of craftsmen, it attracted many young and strong people!
All major factories are expanding again and again, and production volume continues to increase!
"Your Highness, the first batch of steam cars have been built!"
Huang Yuan took some time to report the news to Ying Feiyu himself.
"Huh? Is it done?"
Ying Feiyu immediately became interested.
"That's right. Although there is only one workshop to produce steam cars, it was divided into three groups. Each group worked for four hours and worked non-stop throughout the day. Finally, it was finished!"
Huang Yuan reported with a hint of satisfaction.
"Well! The efficiency is indeed very high! How many were made in the first batch?"
"Go back to His Majesty the Crown Prince, there are twenty vehicles in total!"
The development of internal combustion engines had already begun, and Ying Feiyu did not build a factory specifically for steam vehicles.
There is only one workshop opened in the steam tractor factory, and the output will not be high if it is produced alone!
"Yes! I will send someone to inform the ministers later and ask them to go to the factory to pick it up! As for the rest, give one to this prince, and sell the rest for 30,000 gold each!"
Ying Feiyu opened his mouth and explained.
"Thirty thousand gold?"
"That's right!"
"The steam cars ordered by several ministers will be worth 20,000 yuan, and the news will spread soon. If the remaining cars suddenly increase to 30,000 yuan, I'm afraid they won't be easy to sell!"
Huang Yuan said slightly embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I'm afraid everyone will rush to buy it for 30,000 gold!"
In this regard, Ying Feiyu is very confident, after all, things are precious.
Through this stock issuance, Ying Feiyu discovered that there are so many rich people in Daqin, even more than he imagined!
Only so many steam cars were produced. After deducting his and a few old ones, there were only thirteen cars left.
Not to mention the entire Great Qin Dynasty, just in Xianyang City alone, everyone has to fight for their heads!
What do people do to make money? Isn’t it just to improve your living standards?
You drive a car when everyone else rides a bike.
Not only can it gain the envious looks of many people, but it can also facilitate travel.
As long as family conditions permit, who doesn’t want to have one?
"Okay! I'll go down and set the price later!"
Huang Yuan bowed his hands.
"Well! Is everything going well at the power plant?"
"Your Highness, please rest assured, everything is going well! The wires are being set up recently, and it is estimated that it will not take long to arrive in the city!"
Huang Yuan reported the truth truthfully.
"Well! When the time comes, we will first lay the wires into the palace and let the entire palace light up first!"
The imperial palace is the core of Great Qin. Any good things must be sent to the palace first, and electricity is no exception.
Furthermore, electricity has just been developed, and the price of electricity is very high. The unit price of electricity is also very high, and it is not affordable for ordinary people!
The palace is different. The court has plenty of money and can definitely pay this sum!
Letting the palace light up first can also play a leading role in letting people understand electricity and see its important role, which will facilitate future promotion!
"Your Highness, don't worry, the direction where the electric wires are laid is towards the palace!"
Even if Ying Feiyu didn't say it, Huang Yuan knew it in his heart.
As the king of a country, Ying Zheng lives in the palace. If he lays electric wires in the city and gives them to the people first, it would be strange if your majesty doesn't give him small shoes to wear!
"Okay! Now that we have electricity, the telegraph machine should be put on the agenda! Later, I will write down the drawings and principles of the telegraph machine. You and the emperor will study it together to see if it can be manufactured!"
On the train from Longxi to Xianyang, Ying Feiyu mentioned the telegraph machine.
But since there was still no power, we put it on hold!
Now that electricity is available, it’s time to study the telegraph machine!
As long as this thing is developed, when the soldiers go to war again, they can send battlefield information back to Xianyang anytime and anywhere, allowing Ying Zheng to grasp the situation on the battlefield!
In addition, the telegraph machine also plays a great role for the people, and it must be studied!
"Telegraph?"
This word is absolutely new to Huang Yuan.
"That's right! It's a machine that relies on electricity to deliver messages!"
Ying Feiyu explained briefly.
"Can electricity still send messages?"
In Huang Yuan's impression, electricity is lighting.
Although His Royal Highness the Prince said that it can be used as a driving force to research various machines.
But without any guidance, he was still confused and didn't understand the principle at all!
Not to mention delivering the message!
