Chapter 301
For this situation, Yingchen did not expect it.
Perhaps, he himself underestimated the pursuit of the people of Great Qin for a warmer environment in the cold winter.
Especially those of the aristocracy and the wealthy.
They don't care about money, they care more about the comfort of life.
What's more, a honeycomb coal is only five cents, which is simply too cheap, okay!
Families like Li Si and Wang Jian only use this honeycomb coal all day long, but only a thousand yuan a day.
The expenditure of 5,000 wen a day is sprinkled with water for these big families!
Seeing this situation, Yingchen decided to intervene.
His original intention was to hope that those ordinary people could get some benefits.
All the benefits have been taken to these nobles, so don't the people still have to rely on their physical fitness and single clothes to survive this harsh winter as before!
That's right!
Thinking of clothes, Yingchen suddenly thought of something. 20 yes!
What clothes to wear in winter!
Yingchen almost didn't give himself a slap.
Sure enough, I have been thinking about big things, but I have forgotten these most basic small things.
Although Yingchen has always reminded himself not to forget his original intention, he has been in the position of the prince for too long, and he is still a little out of the world.
Cotton clothes!
Cotton!
And cotton, isn't it in the Western Regions!
The long-staple cotton of the Western Regions is a must in the world!
However, this is also the blame that although Yingchen conquered the Western Regions, to be honest, the Western Regions were able to be defeated thanks to Yue Fei.
And Yue Fei is a military general, there is no problem if you let him lead the troops to fight.
But it would be too difficult for him to realize that those blooming cotton can be made into quilts and can be used for warmth.
And Yingchen has always been in Daqin, and in this era, except for the Western Regions, there is no such thing as cotton.
Sometimes, when an object does not appear in front of you, and you do not lack warm things, you will naturally subconsciously ignore these things.
Fortunately, when Yingchen thought of winter clothes, he thought of cotton.
In this regard, Yingchen issued an edict directly to Yue Fei's hands, asking him to send an order to the countries of the Western Regions, asking them to send cotton and seeds over.
However, in addition to the cotton matter, what Yingchen needs to do now is to popularize honeycomb coal to the people as much as possible.
Yingchen originally wanted to directly use his authority, and then limit the amount of money that those nobles could buy.
But after thinking about it carefully, Yingchen still gave up this method in the end.
There are some things that cannot be done completely by relying on his authority.
The market has its own inherent laws.
Since all this is in line with the market, then he can't intervene sideways.
Otherwise, it would be unfair to those who have money.
So after thinking about it, Yingchen decided.
In Chenxing Commercial Bank, we are choosing a shop, and then we will sell a batch of honeycomb coal to ordinary people.
This is undoubtedly a means of making amends, and it is undoubtedly better than forcibly restricting the right of the nobles of the family to buy.
It can be regarded as basically satisfying the interests of all parties.
In this regard, whether it is the nobles of the family or the ordinary people, there is no opinion.
There are so many things, and it is good that Yingchen can balance the needs of all parties as much as possible.
Of course, this is also the prestige of Yingchen.
If you are a person with a lower heritage or prestige, you will become a person who is not a person inside and out.
Not only the nobles of the family will not be satisfied with him, but also the ordinary people.
This is the value that comes with one's fame.
However, under this circumstance, the construction of a cement road from Yunzhong County to Luoyang was put on the agenda. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
However, this matter is also very difficult.
Yunzhong County to Luoyang, which has to pass through Taiyuan County and Hedong County!
This place has a title, mountains and rivers!
Even these places are high and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Therefore, it is really difficult to build roads in these places.
In this regard, after thinking about it carefully, Yingchen still thinks that building a road!
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
Besides, before that, Daqin had already built a gallop road from Guanzhong to Jiuyuan.
Isn't it possible to build a cement road from Yunzhong to Luoyang now!
Of course, this road is very difficult to build, so the money will be taken out of the treasury.
It just so happened that this time the northern expedition captured 500,000 Hu people.
Let these people contribute to the construction of Daqin.
In this regard, Yingchen directly announced to the world in the name of the crown prince of the Great Qin Prison State that Great Qin would build a cement road from Yunzhong County to Luoyang.
Of course, this time the road construction is different from the past.
Yingchen will not rush the construction period, nor will he forcibly recruit the people, and the main force of road construction this time will be those captured Hu people.
The money for road construction comes from the honeycomb coal sold by Daqin, and for every piece of honeycomb coal sold, a penny is proposed to be used to build the road.
This opinion immediately made people all over the world nod their heads.
In this way, once this cement road is successfully built, not only for the honeycomb coal of Yunzhong County can be transported to the Central Plains 157 land one by one.
It is also able to communicate the connection between the Central Plains and the cloud.
In fact, if you want to win Chen, it is better to build a railway directly.
Unfortunately, these ideas were destined to be impossible to realize.
With Daqin's current national strength and productivity, being able to build these cement roads and invent honeycomb coal is already the limit of productivity.
After all, it's not enough to have a railroad, you also need a steam engine.
The invention of the steam engine requires a series of meritorious categories to be thoroughly matured and developed to a certain stage.
At present, it will take at least ten to twenty years for Great Qin, or even longer.
And even if the steam engine is invented now, it still can't solve the basic problem of Great Qin.
Because Daqin's current steel production is not enough.
Now, even if Yingchen climbs the science and technology tree, Daqin's annual steel output is less than 100,000 tons.
Don't underestimate these 100,000 tons, before the 19th century, even after the Industrial Revolution, Britain's steel production was only 76,000 tons.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, our steel output was basically able to reach 150,000 tons.
It's a pity that this data is already the highest data in our classical era.
In the Qing Dynasty later, the steel output could not be compared to the Ming Dynasty, and even the Song Dynasty could not be compared!
