Since Ying Feiyu came to Daqin, he has been closest to Wang Ben, Zhang Han and others, and several old guys have also made a lot of money by relying on Ying Feiyu.

After having money, the old goods must work hard to improve their living standards.

No matter what new gadgets Ying Feiyu researched, they were the first to have them.

Electricity is no exception!

In addition to the Imperial Palace, the mansions of their six Shangshu were the first to be lit up!

"Daddy! Look, this light is really bright, it's more than ten...... No...... Brighter than lighting twenty oil lamps, hehe! ”

In the mansion of the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Ben kept his head up, looked at the electric light hanging upside down on the roof of the shed with joy, and said to Lao Tzu Wang Jian with a smile.

"That's it! As mentioned in the precautions for using electricity, this electric light can't be seen with your eyes all the time, it will hurt your eyes, especially children! ”

Looking at Wang Ben, who was like a child, Wang Jian also showed a kind smile on his face.

The scene was similar in several other old goods houses, whether it was the master or the servant, they all watched around the electric light.

When the people saw the electric lights on in the mansions of several people, they all looked sideways.

Some young people even climbed up to the top of the wall and squatted on it, wanting to see more closely how the electric lights really glowed!

In the next period of time, Huang Yuan was really busy, and during the day, he had to take people to install electricity for the hundreds of officials who had already paid the money, and at night there were a large number of people waiting in line to pay the money.

After tossing and turning for a while, the electricity was officially on the right track, and the craftsmen had enough experience, and then they left all these things to the next competent person under their hands!

And he himself is concentrating on studying the drawings that Ying Feiyu gave him before!

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

Only when the roads are built can the economy be driven.

Therefore, under Ying Feiyu's proposal, Daqin added ten more railway routes to facilitate the travel and trade of the people!

Although Ying Zheng is stingy, he also fully supports it, after all, there are his shares in the railway, and the bigger the railway construction, the more money he makes, and the more dividends the railway will give to the court in the future!

The railway, which can carry passengers and goods on weekdays, and can transport troops in the event of a war, is an artifact for the benefit of the country and the people, how can he stop it?

The construction of the railway requires a lot of labor, which also creates a lot of employment opportunities for the people along the railway, so that they can make money to supplement their families in addition to farming!

However, when building a railway, it is inevitable that you will encounter the matter of splitting rocks, and even with the help of explosives, there is no need to dig it manually, but it is also very dangerous.

There are not many people in Great Qin, and their lives are greater than everything, so these jobs are naturally left to the defeated captives of various countries to do!

As a result, those prisoners before Great Qin were not enough!

"Your Majesty, there is news from Wodao that the recent gold mining has reached a critical period, and there are too many places to employ labor, and there are no extra captives who can be transferred to us to build a railway!"

"Your Majesty! It's similar on the Chenjun side, if you want to transfer the captives back, I'm afraid it will delay the mining ...... mineral deposits! ”

In the past, every time Great Qin conquered a country, he would send his army and members of the royal family to various mines to work as slaves, doing the most dangerous work, and creating benefits for Great Qin.

But he didn't admit that when Daqin built a large number of railways, he would still need a lot of slaves.

Where do they go for a while?

"Isn't that easy? Find a country, and if you fight another war, won't it be over? ”

This is from Wang Ben.

If it were in the past, these words would not only be refuted by hundreds of officials, but also scolded by Yingzheng!

When the two countries are at war, are you a child? You pushed my house, I trampled on your fence!

When the two countries are at war, they must first see how much strength they have, and if they can't support the army for two or three years, then don't think about anything.

Even if others bully you, you can only endure it.

It's like the Huns before it.

frequently bullied Daqin, and even if Daqin sent troops, it was only symbolic, and he did not raise the strength of the whole country to destroy it.

Because the price to pay is too great!

Once the whole country is exhausted, even if the Xiongnu are successfully wiped out, this major trouble will never be eliminated, but it will also cause the internal affairs of their own country to be empty, and the people will have no livelihood.

Even other small countries around Great Qin will take advantage of the emptiness of Great Qin to come to carve up.

If you are not careful, the entire Great Qin will be cannibalized!

Even if the situation is a little better, and there are no neighboring countries to take advantage of the situation, Great Qin will have to delay for several decades before it can regain its strength.

In the intervening decades, there have been so many factors of instability.

Therefore, Ying Zheng would rather sacrifice some small border villages to let the Xiongnu take advantage of them than have too large-scale wars with them.

As long as Meng Tian can defend Shangjun and not let the Huns gain an inch!

Therefore, when the two countries are at war, they have to think twice and think twice.

Consider all the possible consequences before you do it.

This consideration may be three years and five years, or it may be a lifetime!

Until a generation of emperors ascended to heaven, they didn't think about whether to fight this battle or not!

However, the current Great Qin, lacking a few slaves to build a railway, Wang Ben can talk about war, and looking at the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, he seems to agree very much.

Especially Meng Yi, Kang Anping and others, nodded again and again.

Zhang Han, who has always been stingy, did not say anything, and he also expressed his support when he looked at the posture!

Because now that the two countries are at war, they don't need to spend any money at all, and they can even create a lot of benefits for the treasury!

In the past, when going out on the expedition, you had to prepare a lot of food, grass, and military salaries.

Now on the expedition, those who can take the train will definitely not walk.

There won't be a long delay on the road!

When we arrived at the enemy country, a few shells bombarded it, but there was nothing good in the city? Just eat it, you don't need to bring much food and grass at all!

Ying Feiyu sat on his throne as the crown prince, looking at the confident expressions of the old goods, and couldn't help laughing!

In the years since he came to Daqin, the ministers' reactions to the war have also changed greatly.

From the initial change of color, to the current confidence, there is even a trace of schadenfreude!

The reason why there is such a big change also proves that Daqin is constantly getting bigger and stronger!

This is exactly what Ying Feiyu wants to see!

He has no interest in the throne or power, but that doesn't mean he's unpatriotic.

On the contrary, he hoped that Great Qin would become stronger and stronger, so that all the sunny places would become the land of Great Qin!

"War?"

Ying Zheng frowned.

I don't know if it's because I'm older, or if I'm too plump.

The flesh on the sides of the old guy's cheeks was falling downward, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were falling, and he didn't look kind.

Coupled with the frown just now, the ministers' hearts sank.

Broken!

It seems that His Majesty disagrees!
