The ministers watched their ships leave the port and returned to their mansions with satisfaction.
Next, all they have to do is wait!
The same goes for the veterans. Although the steamer left Xianyang early, no one knew what Yizhou could bring back!
Within a few days, the shipyard's first batch of internal combustion engine ships had been built!
This will make the nobles who have been waiting in Xianyang City extremely happy!
Previously, they watched ships leaving the port on the Weishui River, and now it was finally their turn!
Rush to buy ships and fuel and send sailors out to sea!
As a fuel for internal combustion engine ships, diesel has naturally become popular!
However, Ying Feiyu has not yet built gas stations everywhere. If he wants to buy oil, he can only go to the refinery in person!
"Those guys at the shipyard are really good at it. Last time we went there, they only said they were undergoing renovations! They didn't mention anything about what they were undergoing renovations and to what extent they were being renovated!"
"Hmph! It's probably that kid's idea again!"
"If we had told you in advance, could those steam engines and ships we had built before still be sold...?"
On the way to the morning meeting, Wang Ben and others gathered together and walked forward with their heads held high.
But there was muttering in his mouth, very dissatisfied!
Like other ministers who bought steam engines and ships, they all felt that they had lost money!
Spend the same money and buy something that is almost obsolete!
It’s weird to be able to balance your mind!
"Why don't we wait until after the morning court to talk to His Highness the Prince? At least we have to ask him to invite us to a restaurant for a meal! Otherwise, wouldn't our loss be in vain?"
The more Kang Anping thought about it, the more angry he became.
Those nobles who finally arrived in Xianyang all bought internal combustion engine ships, but they, the local officials, only bought internal combustion engine ships!
It makes people laugh if you tell me!
"Hmph...!"
However, several other people looked at him as if they were a fool and snorted with disdain.
"What do you mean?"
Kang Anping was suspicious.
"What else do you mean? If you want to speak out, you can go it alone, but don't call us. We can't afford to embarrass that person!"
"Yes! We bought the ship ourselves, and we also asked for the blueprints as gifts! Even the purchase of grain was offered by us! His Highness the Crown Prince never said a word from beginning to end, we still have to go Are you going to settle accounts with the prince?"
"That's right! Our ship is the earliest. Even if we know that there are internal combustion engine ships, we can't wait for another ten days and a half!"
"Everything is done voluntarily. How can we find His Highness the Crown Prince...?"
Several other old guys, one by one, made Kang Anping speechless.
"It seems you are right, but don't bring trouble to yourself!"
Kang An flattened his mouth and muttered to himself.
Normally, that kid could turn a dead person into a living person, let alone in this situation!
"That's it. A steamship is a steamship. As long as it can sail safely on the sea, what does it matter if it has less power? Besides, I heard that if you want, a steamship can be transformed into an internal combustion engine ship, but you have to pay for it out of your own pocket. !”
Meng Yi said.
"Let's do this for now, and then we'll see what happens over there in Yizhou!"
While the old guys were chatting, they came to Qilin Hall and started their morning pilgrimage.
The focus today is the autumn harvest!
August is about to enter, and the food is beginning to mature. As long as it is recovered smoothly, the most important task of this year will be completed!
In order to ensure the efficiency of people's autumn harvest, internal combustion engines have been in intensive production, and a large number of craftsmen have been trained to transform tractors in various places!
I estimate that in about half a month, all the renovations will be completed!
When Ying Zheng heard the news, he was naturally happy from ear to ear!
Then he asked people from all over the country about their registration status for immigrants!
There are only a few, but they are far from satisfactory!
Fortunately, this is just the beginning, and you can continue to observe for a while!
After the morning meeting, Ying Feiyu specially stopped a few veterans and revealed to them the news that the internal combustion engine car had been built.
At the same time, he sent someone to deliver a message to Daddy, who was already heading towards the harem!
These old guys not only have status in Xianyang City, but they also love to show off!
If they have something good, they will definitely not hide it. They want to let everyone in the world know about it!
Therefore, Ying Feiyu planned to let them serve as this living advertisement!
Sure enough, after the old guys learned that the internal combustion engine car was built, they immediately showed great interest and hurried to the car factory!
Not long after, Ying Zheng, who had changed into regular clothes, also rushed to the car factory!
When steam cars were first built, all the old guys’ eyes lit up and they were so surprised that they must drive them whenever they went out!
But as time went by, the novelty gradually faded away.
I even think steam cars are a bit inconvenient.
Every time before going out, you must find someone to make a fire and boil water in advance. You can only leave after the water boils!
If there is an emergency, it will be too late, and it will be worse than a horse!
In addition, steam cars are relatively large and cannot pass through even the narrowest roads.
Even if it passes, it is difficult to turn and it is not flexible at all!
"Your Highness, is this an internal combustion engine car?"
Dozens of brand new internal combustion engine cars are parked in the exhibition hall of the automobile factory.
The appearance of these cars was copied from later cars, so they were much smaller than before.
The old guys were circling back and forth around the car, their eyes flashing, looking very interested!
"That's right!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"This internal combustion engine car is so much smaller than the previous steam car? Is this possible?"
Ying Zheng frowned and questioned.
Although the previous steam cars had some shortcomings, the driving experience was still good, and they were powerful and could run much faster than horses!
And today's cars are much smaller than before, and they seem to have no power!
"Father, don't worry. Even though this internal combustion engine car is small, it runs no slower than a steam car!"
Ying Feiyu said firmly.
"oh?"
Ying Zheng still raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
"If Father doesn't believe it, you can do a test!"
"How to test?"
"It's very simple. Test it with your father's steam car and the internal combustion engine car in front of you. Whoever reaches the destination first will win!"
"good!"
Ying Zheng agreed to such an interesting thing without even thinking about it.
Then he ordered people to start making preparations to boil the water in the steam car and compete with the internal combustion engine car!
The automobile factory is built on an open space outside Xianyang City. There is a wide cement road outside the factory!
The two cars started from the automobile factory, drove to the gate of Xianyang City and then returned.
Whoever arrives first will naturally win!
