Su Shu, the prefect of Shuntian, stood in front of the gate of the industrial zone. He watched the goods being shipped out of the industrial zone.
The products in the industrial zone are mainly divided into three categories.
The most important category is various electrically driven machines.
Machines such as spinning machines, looms, and rice mills powered by electric motors have a stable power supply with the establishment of industrial zones.
Various factories sprung up in industrial areas using new machines to produce.
This is because electric machines are highly efficient and more maneuverable than steam engines.
The steam engine uses a celestial shaft to connect the belt to drive the factory machinery.
The steam engine came to a complete stop before the steam engine boiler went out.
There's a problem with the machine and it's risky to stop it.
Electric machines, on the other hand, only require the push of a button.
The most important point is that the cost of using a steam engine far exceeds the cost of electricity.
The power plant uses more efficient steam turbines to generate electricity, and the coal used in the power plant is purchased directly from the place of origin in large quantities.
If it is a hydroelectric power plant, the cost of generating electricity will be cheaper than that of a thermal power plant.
The factories instead use inefficient boilers and they buy coal at market price.
As a result, the comprehensive cost of coal is much higher than the cost of electricity.
It’s just that this price difference does not take into account the difference in efficiency between the two machines, nor does it take into account the tax exemption issue.
He can allow businessmen to earn back the cost of opening a factory in ten years.
Businessmen are the best at settling accounts. They discovered the benefits of industrial zones and began to compete for the size of industrial zones.
The second category of goods in the industrial zone, which is also the largest sales volume, is provided by this group of merchants.
Covering all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the categories are very complete.
They hit the market with similar products at low prices, making businessmen who did not enter the industrial zone regret.
Most of the benefits were taken by two chambers of commerce, namely the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Capital Chamber of Commerce.
The Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was established because of his wife Li Xiyue's relationship, and Su Shu's father-in-law was Li Gong, the president of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.
When he seizes the opportunity to perform, he will definitely fully support Su Shu's career.
The Capital Chamber of Commerce was first-come-first-served. They were slower to respond, but they occupied most of the factory.
The most important commodities in the industrial zone are all imperial dignitaries invited by Su and Shu.
Su and Shu provided plans and technology, supported these powerful people, and they made progress together.
Such products are mainly novel electrical appliances, such as electric fans, electric kettles, refrigerators, record players and telephones.
Su Shu also had a factory founded in his own name in the industrial zone, which was a factory specializing in the production of wireless telegraph machines.
The factory is managed by Li Xiyue, who does not pay attention to the situation in the factory.
There are also some nobles who don't want to take risks, such as Yuan Guogong Su Ying, who is seriously ill.
The factory Su Shu arranged for them was to produce various electrical components.
Small things such as copper wires, aluminum wires, resistors, capacitors, and inductors may seem low-tech and sell for extremely low prices.
However, the shipment volume of this kind of electrical components is huge, and there are considerable profits every month.
Master Zhou Baixin walked out of the industrial area with a melancholy look on his face.
Su Shu quickly asked: "Is the output value of the industrial zone falsified? Has the investigation been clear?
This is just over a thousand acres of land, less than a hundred factories.
Generating 800,000 taels of silver coins a month is astonishing.
The government had previously estimated that there would be 300,000 taels of silver coins, which would be a good start. "
While Su Shu was inspecting the situation in the industrial zone, he asked his master Zhou Baixin to secretly investigate whether the industrial zone was fake?
Even with the two pillars of wireless telegraph and telephone, the monthly income of 800,000 taels of silver coins is too amazing, almost three times more than expected.
Su Shu was worried about fraud in the industrial zone. There might be some minor flaws in his first political performance, but fraud would never be allowed.
Zhou Baixin said excitedly: "Sir, there is no fraud in the industrial zone.
Because the quality of the products in the industrial zone is very good, the prices are also more advantageous than similar products.
This resulted in an endless stream of orders from the factory, and how could these businessmen miss the opportunity to make money.
The factory is brightly lit and adopts the strategy of people repairing machines instead of repairing them.
Some factories work in two shifts, and some factories work in three shifts.
Machines run around the clock, churning out huge amounts of goods. "
When Su Shu heard this situation, he quickly asked: "What policies has Chen Yaozu introduced to manage this problem."
He knew that this situation had also occurred in other industrially developed areas.
There have also been cases where workers collectively blocked the gates of industrial zones and demanded wages.
Some businessmen are very evil. The factory makes so much money, but they are not willing to pay even a meager salary to the workers.
Master Zhou Baixinhui reported: "Chen Yaozu strictly supervises the payment of wages.
The factory must hand over a security deposit to the industrial zone, and when wages are in arrears, the security deposit must be used to make up for it.
From what I learned about the situation, workers are willing to work overtime as long as the factory pays them enough wages.
There are many factories in industrial areas. If the treatment in a certain factory is too harsh, workers will immediately change jobs. "
Su Shu sternly explained: "Inform Chen Yaozu and strictly supervise each factory.
The factory must abide by the laws of the empire. If something happens to the industrial zone, he will be an accountant for the rest of his life. "
Zhou Baixin lowered his body and immediately responded: "I will convey your Lord's words to Chen Yaozu in full."
When Su Shu learned about the situation in the industrial zone, he immediately returned to the capital to tell his father the good news.
Of course he had to show his achievements to his father after working hard for more than half a year.
Su Shu came outside the Qianqing Palace. He learned from Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi that his father was reviewing memorials in the Qianqing Palace and did not summon anyone.
After being notified, he was allowed to enter the Qianqing Palace to meet his father.
Emperor Su He looked at the eldest prince Su Shu and walked in with a happy face.
He couldn't be so happy and angry that his thoughts were written on his face.
"Su Shu, it seems that the situation in the industrial zone is very good. You have to share it with me."
"My father's guess was too accurate. I came here specifically to report on the situation in the industrial zone."
The eldest prince Su Shu reported in detail the situation of the electric power industrial zone.
He then stood aside with his head held high and his clothes begging for praise.
Emperor Su He nodded with a smile and said with approval: "Shu'er, you did a great job this time.
All affairs are well arranged, adding an engine for Shuntian Mansion's economic development. "
Emperor Su He was very happy. He had been secretly observing the process of preparing the industrial zone by the eldest prince Su Shu.
The eldest prince Su Shu has a thorough understanding of the industrial situation.
He also humbly seeks advice from more professional scholars, listens to professional advice, and does not act arbitrarily.
The eldest prince Su Shu was very happy when he heard his father's praise.
Emperor Su He was about to give some advice to the eldest prince Su Shu. He was not perfect at what he did, and there were still many areas for improvement.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi had a serious look on his face. He walked to Emperor Su He and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is news from Director Zhao Ziyan of the Royal Hospital that Yuan Guogong Su Ying is critically ill."
Emperor Su He couldn't believe it when he heard the news.
How can this be? Su Ying is only a few years older than him. He is only forty-five now and in his prime.
In his early years in the army, Su Ying had been dealing with matters related to military law. He never went to the front line, and he never suffered any hidden injuries.
Su Ying resigned from all work four years ago, citing physical discomfort.
Emperor Su He just thought that Su Ying wanted to retreat bravely and live out his old age in peace.
Su Zhuang, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, suffered many hidden injuries because he led troops in the army in his early years, and was also hit by the Bird Command of the Ming Army.
Even so, Song Guogong Su Zhuang is just bedridden now, and has not yet died of illness.
Emperor Su He could also see Su Ying from time to time. He had indeed become fatter year by year since he settled in the capital.
When Su Ying was at his fattest, he had reached 2,890 pounds.
Emperor Su He knew that people were too fat to lose weight, so he ordered the Duke's government to control Su Ying's diet. His weight was slowly declining.
Emperor Su He had the insight of later generations. He knew that obese people are prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Su Ying's condition should be closely related to obesity.
The eldest prince Su Shu heard what Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi said.
He thought of meeting Su Ying in a wheelchair more than a month ago, with a sick look on his face.
He immediately said: "Father, I met Duke Yuan Guo a month ago.
He was pale and very fat, especially his legs.
Erchen thought it was obesity before, but now that he thought about it, it was because his legs were swollen.
Especially Yuan Guogong had a strange smell that even the strong perfume could not cover up. "
When Emperor Su He heard the introduction from the eldest prince Su Shu, he thought of a disease that had no solution in this era - diabetes.
Diabetes is more common in obese people in later generations, and the incidence rate is still very high.
After using insulin, most people's condition can be controlled.
But in this era, diabetes is a terminal disease with no cure.
Compared with the progress of the empire's pharmaceutical and chemical industry, if it develops for decades or hundreds of years, it may not be possible to advance the technology to the synthesis of insulin.
Emperor Su He ordered: "Call the queen and come with me to visit Duke Yuan."
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi accepted the order and sent someone to the harem immediately to inform Queen Wang Wenjun.
Emperor Su He looked at the helpless eldest prince Su Shu and said, "Shu'er, you go with Zhen."
Queen Wang Wenjun quickly rushed to Qianqing Palace, and they rushed to the Royal Hospital by car.
Emperor Su He leaned on his seat, thinking about the time he spent working with Su Ying.
The Royal Hospital brings together all the skilled doctors in the empire.
For a person with the status of Yuan Guogong Su Ying, he was declared critically ill by the doctor, and there was no way to save him.
Su Ying is already on his deathbed and may die of illness at any time.
Emperor Su He said regretfully: "Yuan Guogong Su Ying fought with me to conquer the world and endured unimaginable pain and suffering.
He had not enjoyed the blessing for a few days when he was killed by the disease.
Su Ying controls the Military Justice Department, but he is a very easy-going person.
Someone in the army breaks the law. Although the circumstances are excusable, they must be punished with death.
Su Ying used his title as Duke to vouch for this person.
I was so angry that I wanted to depose the duke of another country.
However, he argued hard and argued that the reason was nothing more than human feelings.
I advise you not to let one case chill the hearts of the soldiers. "
Emperor Su He rambled on and talked about a lot of things between him and Su Ying.
Queen Wang Wenjun held Emperor Su He's hand and said with concern: "Husband, your state today is a little unusual. This is because you have a fear of death."
Emperor Su He sighed and said: "Academician Qin Yun of the Royal Academy of Sciences studied the laws of biological inheritance and found that genetic factors can be inherited between parents.
Genetic factors are closely related to many diseases.
Qin Yun's research revealed that when close relatives marry, the probability of their offspring developing deformities and strange diseases is greatly increased.
Qin Yun is my disciple, and a lot of his knowledge was taught by me.
I just asked Zhou Fangzhi to check the situation of the clan.
There are many obese people in the clan, and Uncle Su Wuniu also suffered from a situation similar to Su Ying's, but his condition was not as serious.
This genetic factor that makes people prone to obesity allowed our Su family to survive the crisis during the difficult period of food shortage.
When I was extremely hungry, I could fight with the servants of the gentry.
But in an era of affluent life, rapid obesity is not a good thing.
Especially some nutritional supplements make people very lazy and difficult to lose weight. "
After Emperor Su He saw the investigation, he was worried about his physical condition.
Genetic diseases are really unsolvable in this era.
If the emperor is short-lived, it will be a huge turmoil for the dynasty.
Most of the emperors of the Song Dynasty were short-lived, and it was not uncommon for emperors to die of illness in their twenties or thirties.
Su He didn't want himself and his descendants to be short-lived ghosts.
Queen Wang Wenjun consoled her: "My husband has also investigated and found that the chance of getting sick is closely related to obesity.
As long as you reduce your food intake, it is impossible to gain weight.
When Shu'er and Rong'er were young, I strictly restricted their food intake.
They have developed a habit and have never gained weight.
The second prince Su Lei is not like that, he is now a big fat man. "
While Queen Wang Wenjun persuaded Emperor Su He, he also did not forget to set up obstacles for the second prince Su Lei.
She knew the disease better than Emperor Su He.
She knew the progress of Yuan Guogong Su Ying's condition.
Queen Wang Wenjun knows that this disease can be saved if the weight is controlled in time in the early stages of the disease.
When the condition is serious, medicine cannot save it.
Most of the sick fat people are elderly people in their fifties and sixties, but the number of young people in their thirties and forties is not low.
The car quickly arrived at the Royal Hospital, and Emperor Su He and his party rushed directly to the door of Yuan Guogong Su Ying's ward.
Dean Zhao Ziyan saw the emperor and queen arriving. After bowing, he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the queen.
The minister and everyone at the hospital have tried all methods, but there is still nothing they can do. "
He took out a test tube containing a milky white suspension from the shelf nearby.
"Your Majesty, this is the blood extracted from Yuan Guogong's body.
The red blood in his body was no longer red, but milky white.
Chen commissioned the Royal Academy of Sciences to test and compare his blood with that of normal people.
There is a lot of extra fat in it, and the sugar content in the blood is also very high.
This situation cannot be saved by gods. "
Emperor Su He listened to Zhao Ziyan's account of Yuan Guogong Su Ying's condition.
He combined it with the investigation of Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi.
Emperor Su He could basically confirm that the disease Yuan Guogong Su Ying suffered from was diabetes.
Members of the royal family all carry genes that are prone to obesity. It is still not possible to determine whether they are prone to diabetes?
The only thing that made Emperor Su He happy was that there were many ways to lose weight.
But he also felt a crisis. He could not predict whether Su Ying's serious illness was an isolated case or a common phenomenon.
The sense of crisis that had not appeared in Emperor Su He's heart for a long time came to his mind again when he saw Su Ying, Duke of Yuan, lying on the hospital bed, no longer human. (End of chapter)
