Time flies, and it's the end of July. The heat has completely faded, and there's a hint of coolness in the air.

There were many more people walking back and forth on the streets of Xianyang City than before!

Summer is hot and people are too lazy to go out.

Now that it’s finally cooled down, I must go out for a walk!

All factories are working hard to speed up production, especially down jacket factories.

The weather in Guanzhong is getting cold very quickly, and it will snow in less than two months. More and more people are coming to buy down jackets!

With the increase in popularity, many merchants contacted Yu Ji, wanting to order goods and transport them by train to other counties in Daqin for sale!

Therefore, many female workers have been recruited in the factory to produce non-stop throughout the day!

Fortunately, the lighting is all electric lamps, so even at night, you can work without tiring your eyes!

In addition, the internal combustion engine factory and cement factory are also extremely busy!

Needless to say, internal combustion engines, as autumn is getting closer, they must seize the time and strive to transform steam tractors into internal combustion engine tractors before the autumn harvest!

With the transformation of internal combustion engine tractors in Xianyang City, many craftsmen who can carry out transformation have been trained.

As soon as the machines at the internal combustion engine factory come off the production line, they are immediately sent to various places for modification!

Da Qin contracted all the main roads to wealthy people in various counties and counties to build them, so the consumption of cement was huge, and the supply was always in short supply!

Fortunately, it often rains in the summer, and the progress of road construction is very slow, giving the cement factory workers a chance to breathe.

Now that autumn has entered, the weather is dry and there is little rain. The progress of building cement roads has accelerated a lot. The demand for cement has increased again, and workers have to work overtime to produce!

But there are certain benefits for workers.

You know, their salaries are linked to output.

The more we produce, the more our salaries will be paid.

On the contrary, the less you produce, the less your salary will naturally be!

As the autumn harvest season is approaching, officials from all over the country can breathe a sigh of relief. They don’t have to worry about floods or the like!

Although these are natural disasters, they are also closely related to their official positions.

Once a natural disaster occurs in your own jurisdiction, your Majesty will definitely get no good results if he gets angry!

In the morning, Ying Zheng sat happily on the dragon throne, "General Han has sent a telegram, saying that the army has captured Yizhou and is heading towards Erzhou! At the same time, the telegram also said that Yizhou is vast and sparsely populated. The resources are rich and the imperial court can develop them!”

"Your Majesty, is Yizhou as rich in resources as Nanyang?"

A minister asked with his hand raised.

"I have never been to Yizhou, how could I know?"

This question touched on Ying Zheng's knowledge blind spot, and he even wondered whether this guy was deliberately embarrassing himself.

It was even the first time for the army to touch it, how could he know?

So the old face was immediately pulled back!

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask if General Han mentioned it in the telegram!"

After hearing Ying Zheng's angry tone, the minister knew that the way he expressed himself was not quite right, so he quickly changed his words.

"It was not mentioned...!"

Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng turned his attention to Ying Feiyu and said, "Yizhou and other places were proposed by you. Do you know what the situation is like there?"

"..."

Although Ying Feiyu did not fall asleep today, he was fishing. He was chatting quietly with the prince next to him about something. The two of them kept shrugging their shoulders and laughing secretly.

"Feiyu?"

Ying Zheng's words did not receive a response, and he suddenly felt that he was losing face.

You know, at this time, the eyes of all the ministers were flowing between the two, waiting to hear their answers.

As a result, he even called twice, but the boy didn't respond at all!

"What a cheating kid!"

Ying Zheng cursed softly.

Last time, just because of a few down jackets and this kid's unusual behavior, he was unable to stay overnight in Yuxiu Palace for several days.

In the end, he kept apologizing and rubbing Lian'er's shoulders and feet, and then he stayed there smoothly!

As a result, he humiliated him again in public today and screamed twice as if he didn't hear him!

"Ahem...there's something going on, but nothing..."

"Huh? Retired from the imperial court?"

Ying Zheng coughed twice and used his trump card.

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, the boy's eyes suddenly lit up and he jumped off the chair in an instant!

"Pfft..."

Seeing this scene, many princes and ministers burst out laughing without holding back.

Wang Ben was also very helpless.

Even His Highness the Crown Prince can do this kind of thing, no one else would dare to do it!

"Huh? What's going on?"

After seeing the reactions of the ministers present, Ying Feiyu suddenly felt something was wrong.

Zhang Han secretly stretched out his hand, waved it towards him, and winked at the same time, trying to give him some hints!

Ying Feiyu's sharp eyes actually saw it and understood it!

"Haha! I saw that the atmosphere was awkward, so I stepped forward to liven up the atmosphere...!"

Ying Feiyu grinned and slowly sat on the chair, "Father, what did you just say?"

"I say we will raise a few more pigs next year and dry them to make rations for the soldiers!"

Ying Zheng was so angry with him that he started talking nonsense.

"Well! Don't tell me, this is a good idea. The troops stationed in various places often go on patrol. If you can bring some dried meat, it will not only fill you up and increase your physical strength, but also supplement your nutrition. I think it is feasible!"

When he said these words, Ying Feiyu didn't even think about it.

Because there’s nothing to think about, it’s just raising pigs, you can raise them if you want, no matter what!

"snort!"

Seeing his serious look, Ying Zhengqi stopped and slapped Long An.

"What do you mean? Isn't it enough to be raised?"

Ying Feiyu was stunned.

"Royal brother, my father is asking about the situation in Yizhou. It is somewhat similar to Nanyang. Is it also rich in resources?"

At this moment, a prince not far from him reminded him quietly.

"Oh! That's it! You said you were raising pigs, I thought it was true...!"

Hearing this, Ying Feiyu sneered directly, "Given the vast territory of the state and the sparse population, it is naturally rich in natural resources! However, the geographical conditions and climate are different from those in Nanyang, and are closer to the Qin Dynasty!"

"That means there are no spices or rubber trees left in Yizhou?"

The minister who asked the question before spoke again.

"Those are indeed not available, but the mineral resources are much more than ours in Great Qin!"

Human civilization in Da Qin is relatively early, but it is still in the barbaric era. People can't even make clothes, let alone mine.

"In this case, can the people of Da Qin who own ships go to Yizhou to mine mineral deposits, go to the beach to pick up gems, and exchange treasures with the local indigenous people?"

The ministers who had made Nanyang fortune immediately brightened up.

When the navy went to Southeast Asia for the first time, it brought back countless treasures.

Even a piece of tattered clothing can be exchanged with the local natives for gems as big as eggs.

It is also normal to see gold nuggets on the beach.

This attracted countless people to flock here, and more and more people were willing to stay in Nanyang because they took a fancy to the wealth here!

However, a few years have passed and people are walking by the beach almost every day. If they want to pick up gems again, the chances are very slim!
