Chapter 530: Help for Agriculture
When Ying Feiyu asked for the hand-cranked generator to come back from Ying Zheng, he called Huang Yuan to the palace and showed him and Ying Heng.
As expected, Huang Yuan immediately showed great interest.
Even if I have seen the winning balance of the hand-cranked generator before, I am still very interested!
Then Ying Feiyu explained the principle again, saying that he wanted to build a generator set and set up a power plant!
Huang Yuan simply flipped through the drawings and guaranteed to produce them within half a year!
Next up is the power plant!
What Ying Feiyu wants to build is a hydroelectric power plant that can use natural resources to generate electricity without causing too much pollution to the natural environment!
It's just that it will be more difficult to build than a thermal power plant!
Now, all the industrial expansions of Ying Feiyu have been handed over to the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Engineering was also happy to take on this errand.
Because as long as there is a project, the craftsmen of their Ministry of Industry can earn double salaries, and at the same time, the Ministry of Industry also gets money.
The most important thing is that Feng Qujian wants to take a stake in the power, so of course the power plant is built as quickly as possible!
When everything was arranged, the snowflakes were already falling.
Fusu learned from Ying Feiyu and built a greenhouse in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, wanting to grow some fruits and vegetables.
Since it was the first time to build, I didn't have much experience, so I asked Xiao Zhengtai to check if there was anything missing.
"Yes, it's already good, as long as the temperature supply is up, the vegetables can grow normally!"
After turning around and finding that there was nothing missing, Ying Feiyu nodded and said.
"That's good, these soils are planted with the latest lentils cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, as well as cantaloupe and spinach seeds brought by Queen Loulan, if it goes well, you can taste it in the New Year, and you can promote it smoothly next year!"
Fusu showed off with Ying Feiyu with great interest.
"Hmmm! Lentils can be grown twice a year as long as the temperature is right! Spinach has a high nutritional value, which can not only help digestion, but also nourish the yin and liver, and is rich in vitamins and minerals! The cantaloupe flavor is not only sweet, but also nutritious, and it really needs to be cultivated well! ”
Ying Feiyu nodded and smiled.
He never imagined that after seeing the high-yield grain, Fusu would be obsessed with agriculture and ignore state affairs.
That is, only when agriculture is mentioned, a smile will be on his face, and he will talk more!
Now even the early dynasty rarely goes!
Ying Zheng didn't want to say anything, anyway, he had already found a successor, and he would do what others liked to do!
It's better than everyone staring at this throne and having a fight!
"A few days ago, I heard other royal brothers say, what kind of electricity have you invented, which will be integrated into the lives and production of the people in the future, and can even replace the steam engine?"
Fusu ignored the government, but he was very concerned about the lives of the people, and after hearing about it, he immediately became interested.
It's just that I've been busy researching this greenhouse, so I didn't go to Xiao Zhengtai.
Just take advantage of today to ask about it.
"That's right, the power plant and units are being produced, and there will be street lights on the road in the future, and Xianyang will become a city that never sleeps......!"
Ying Feiyu briefly introduced electricity and electromagnetic induction for him, and Fusu was stunned for a while.
"If this electricity is so magical, how can it help agriculture?"
Fusu blinked his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhengtai, who was more than a head shorter than himself, with great interest.
"Of course it helps......!"
Ying Feiyu nodded naturally and continued: "Don't say anything else, just take this greenhouse as an example, now it is heated with coal and firewood, if there is electricity, you can use electricity to heat, and the temperature will be automatically adjusted, and the power will be automatically cut off when it reaches a certain temperature, and it can be automatically heated below this temperature, so as to maintain the temperature in the shed!" ”
"In addition to that, you can also fill in the light! For example, in winter, when the sun is reduced, you can turn on specific lights to allow plants to continue photosynthesis, allowing plants to grow faster and increase crop yields! ”
"That's pretty good!"
Hearing this, Fusu's eyes brightened.
"But if you want to popularize electricity, you can't do it overnight!"
Electricity is a big project, even in later generations, it took more than ten years for every household to have stable access to electricity!
"Well, I know this, it's like a railway, it always has to be built one by one!"
"That's right!"
"I heard that the railway from Longxi to Jiaodong is about to be completed?"
"Yes! This time, the Ministry of Industry has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to speed up the construction, and it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of the year! ”
"Doesn't that mean that the army of the Western Expedition will be able to set off after the New Year?"
"The army? Let's go? What to depart? Where to? ”
Fusu's words really confused Ying Feiyu.
Lately he has been studying electricity and knows nothing about military affairs.
Could it be that Yingzheng is going to send troops to fight?
It shouldn't be, it's impossible for him not to know about such a big thing?
No matter how busy he is, he is in the court every day, if there is a war, it is impossible for him not to know?
"When I sent watermelons to my father today, I heard my father mention it, saying that he was going to send troops to recruit Qiang, and promised that he would send someone to find me crops that we don't have in Middle-earth!"
Since Ying Zheng set Ying Feiyu as his successor, the requirements for other princes are getting lower and lower, and his father's love is gradually revealed.
Anyway, I don't expect them to be anything, it's already good to be able to think about the people like Fusu!
If you can't do it, you can be a prince with peace of mind, and you can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!
"What? This old thing...... Oh! No! It's the Father! My father is not young, how can he still say that wind is rain? The Qiang people are not small, and they are going to be levied? ”
Ying Feiyu was in a hurry, and the name of Ying Zheng in his heart came out, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and corrected it in time.
But it was still heard by Fusu.
He is not Yingzheng, he is old, and his ears are not so sensitive.
Fusu is in the prime of life, even if he corrects it in time, he will hear it clearly!
Fusu smiled indulgently, "Flying feathers! Among the emperor's brothers, you are the most courageous! ”
For other people, let alone calling the father and emperor, even a contemptuous look would not dare to have it.
Who saw his father and didn't dare to say a wrong word?
That is, Fei Yu, no matter what he does, his father will not blame!
"Brother Huang, it's not that I'm bold, it's that you're too timid!"
Knowing that Fusu heard what he called Ying Zheng, Ying Feiyu didn't hide anything, but stuck out his tongue mischievously.
These princes have been strictly required by Yingzheng since they were young, hoping to cultivate a qualified successor.
If there is the slightest mistake, you will be reprimanded and even punished.
So much so that they were in awe of Yingzheng.
In the words of later generations, it is a psychological shadow!
And Ying Feiyu's thoughts come from later generations, and he grew up in the countryside since he was a child, so he is naturally unrestrained!
"Alright, Brother Huang, I have to hurry up and find my father and ask what the hell is going on!"
Ying Feiyu learned that Ying Zheng intended to recruit Qiang, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly resigned.
