Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

The court meeting ended quickly in the eagerness of Ying Zheng and the civil and military officials. After leaving the court, a group of people followed Fusu directly onto the carriage and headed towards the Daqin Engineering Institute located on the outskirts of Xianyang.

The chilly autumn wind came in through the carriage windows. The courtiers unconsciously shrank their hands and quickly closed the windows.

"Fusu, the new cotton you brought is indeed very effective in keeping warm."

Ying Zheng felt the warmth coming from the roof and couldn't help but praise again.

After getting older, even the First Emperor became much less afraid of the cold. Now wearing a cotton coat and cotton gloves, he is completely No longer afraid of the chill of late autumn

"My son has already sent a batch of cotton cloth and cotton to the palace. If my father likes it, I can just make a few more! Fusu said with a slight smile.

"Fusu, you are interested!"

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

He just felt more comfortable.

As he approaches the age of fifty, Ying Zheng has a clearer understanding of life and at the same time, he also cherishes family ties a lot.

And Fusu's filial piety is undoubtedly Ying Zheng was greatly comforted and his heart warmed up.

While chatting and joking, the group had already arrived at the Daqin Engineering Technology Research Institute located on the outskirts of Xianyang City.

"Why isn't the Academy of Engineering built on the edge of the new city like the Academy of Sciences?"

Nei Shiteng looked at the rolling mountains on the side and couldn't help but wonder.

"The Academy of Science focuses on theoretical research, so it is more convenient to be close to the new city. However, the Academy of Engineering focuses on practical research. Experiments often make some big noises, so it is suitable for secluded places."

"Moreover, a secluded place is more suitable for keeping secrets to prevent prying eyes from interested people! Fusu said with a slight smile.

After carefully inspecting several locations, he chose this valley in the Qinling Mountains. For this purpose, he built a concrete straight road and arranged for guards to protect it.

"What His Highness said is true!"

Dun Ruo said with deep understanding.

It was precisely because of confidentiality reasons that at the military parade, Da Qin only displayed the Qin crossbow, which was difficult to imitate in appearance, and did not display the rock trebuchet and kerosene bombs at the bottom of the box..

Even so, after the military parade, the weak Black Ice Platform still caught many spies from other countries.

Nowadays, there are many military scientific research projects in the Academy of Engineering, and the level of confidentiality should really be emphasized.

"Now that the location has arrived, it’s time for His Highness to reveal the answer to the mystery for us!"

Nei Shiteng said eagerly.

During the entire morning, he was thinking about the surprise Fusu said. He was a little absent-minded even in the previous court.

"Don’t worry, there’s one for everyone!"

Fusu smiled and took Ying Zheng and others into the hall of the main building of the Engineering Academy, and then asked people to bring the gifts that had been prepared.

Looking at the big box that was as tall as a person, the eyes of the officials suddenly became brighter.

This weight, Everyone really has one.

And when the box was opened and looking at the colorful new clothes, even Ying Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.

"What material is this?"

"Although it doesn't feel as good as a cotton coat, it is furry, a bit like fur, and has a very good effect in keeping out the cold."

Ying Zheng felt it and said

"Father, this piece of clothing is called a woolen sweater. It is made from wool that is washed, processed into wool thread, and then knitted with wool thread."

"The output of this woolen sweater is now much higher than that of cotton coats. You can pick one up and try it out. It’s a little gift for you!"

Fusu introduced with a smile.

"It turns out that His Highness has been purchasing large amounts of wool since last year, just for this woolen sweater!"

"This woolen sweater is not only beautiful, it is also very effective in keeping out the cold!"

Neishiteng happily picked out a woolen sweater for himself and put it on outside, and said with a look of surprise on his face.

"His Highness just said that the output of this woolen sweater is much higher than that of cotton coats. Is that the price?"

Feng Quji thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, the price of wool is much lower than that of cotton. Coupled with the semi-automatic production of the assembly line, the cost is indeed much lower than that of cotton coats. Fusu smiled slightly and said,"The price of this sweater can be reduced to less than ten yuan!""

"Ten dollars?"

Nei Shiteng and others showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

With the development of commercial industry, the income level of the people of Qin is also constantly improving.

Taking the major projects carried out by the imperial court as an example, now the basic salary of literate people is It has reached the level of two yuan a day.

In other words, if you work hard for five days, you can buy a brand new woolen sweater that is good at keeping out the cold.

If you work for ten days, you can buy a more beautiful and comfortable sweater. cotton coat.

This is already a level that ordinary people can afford relatively easily.

"This price is very good. The people of our country, Qin, can all afford new clothes!"

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

Having enough food and clothing has always been the only standard in a prosperous age.

Now with the promotion of new crops such as potatoes, filling one's stomach is not a problem at all. Once these woolen sweaters and cotton coats come out, rich clothes are no longer available. With that said.

Coupled with the ever-increasing national power, which far exceeds the territory that has continued to expand in previous dynasties, who dares to say that the Great Qin Dynasty is not a super prosperous era!

As the first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng has a full sense of accomplishment.

And the main credit comes from support. Su, my son is more capable than me, which is a great and glorious achievement!

"Not only that, what is produced in this factory is actually wool. To weave wool into sweaters, manual weaving is the main method."

"The current price offered by the workshop under the Academy of Engineering is two cents per piece, and it takes a weaver five to seven days to knit a sweater at first!"

"If you become proficient, you can shorten it to less than three days!"

Fusu introduced with a smile:"Now knitting sweaters for the workshop has become one of the main incomes for women in Xianyang and surrounding areas."

"Indeed, I have calculated that if I am a skilled worker, I can earn two cents in three days, which is twenty cents a month. I can buy two woolen sweaters, which is already quite good!"

Dunruo said with a hint of joy on his face.

He also came from a poor family, and many relatives in the family relied on him for financial support before. It was not until Fusu vigorously developed business that he stopped.

Now many clan members are in the workshop Work and move into the new city of Xianyang.

Although the new city is very comfortable, it also leaves the women in the family without a source of livelihood. They can only make a little money through some nuns and the like.

Now with this job of knitting sweaters, women can also contribute to the family. It is definitely a happy event to have a lot of income.

There is still more than a month until the New Year. If the women in the family work hard to knit, it will be enough for the whole family to put on new clothes and celebrate the New Year happily.

If you are skillful, you can still have some spare time. The money can be used to improve food.

Coupled with the men's wages in workshops and projects.

In the upcoming New Year, the happiness index of the people of Daqin will definitely soar to a skyrocketing value!
