Jiang Xia didn't know that Qin Shi Huang was trying to imitate him to develop explosives, and even if Jiang Xia knew, he probably wouldn't take it seriously. All kinds of throwers, firecrackers, two kicks, fireworks, what hasn't he played? There have been a lot of demolitions.

But if you let him make one......

That's what a strong man does.

The mantra I learned in high school, not to mention that after so many years, Jiang Xia has long forgotten about it, even if Jiang Xia really remembers, what is nitrate? What is Sulfur? How many people can tell the difference?

He only remembered that when he followed the grandmother on the Internet to make his own throwing cannon, he scraped something from the matchbox and mixed some pebbles into it.

How does it work?

Who knows.

He can only roughly put forward some concepts to those who developed the alchemists, and how to operate it depends on the comprehension of the alchemists.

At least in the past two years, Jiang Xia's Fangshi has not been developed, not to mention, and a lot of money has been burned.

No wonder everyone doesn't want to engage in R&D, R&D is really burning money!

He can't do it, can Brother Zheng do it? Are you kidding!

He's a dignified traverser, don't you want to lose face?

There has been no progress on Fangshi's side, but the progress on Xianglian's side is very rapid, and the factory has been built into a rough prototype.

Ying Yin Yan followed behind Jiang Xia like a little tail, looking around curiously, Jiang Xia pointed to the low houses on the periphery, and introduced Ying Yin Yan, "Those are the staff dormitories in the future, and the disciples of the Mo family and the workers in the factory live here." ”

The employees' dormitories are like a fence that encloses the entire factory.

Some people who are relatively close to Yangwu and well-informed have successfully applied for jobs and moved in.

Ying Yin Yan suddenly showed a sudden expression of realization, "So, in order to provide food and shelter for the workers, Mr. deliberately built a house?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xia replied embarrassedly, which was regarded as answering Yingyinyan's question.

In fact, his initial plan was to let the workers eat and live in the company, so as to create the greatest labor value!

In this era, there is no labor protection law, and in order to make money, workers are even willing to work hard without eating or drinking!

Working too long and stressful?

There are a lot of people who want to come in.

Improving the treatment of workers is gradual.

First pull people up from the food and clothing line, and only after people are well fed and clothed can they work hard to make money and improve their living standards.

Finally, there is the question of improving the happiness index.

In Daqin now, there are many people who can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes and don't have warmth, and tell them about an 8-hour work day?

Wash and sleep, you have everything in your dreams.

After inspecting the progress of the factory as usual, Jiang Xia and Yingyin Yan were ready to leave, "If you look at the current progress, it will be completely completed in about ten days, and it will be ready for production by then." ”

As soon as she heard that it would be completely completed in ten days, Ying Yinyan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen countless money beckoning to her, "In other words, after ten days, weapons and farm tools can be produced in large quantities?" ”

The weapons were customized by Qin Shi Huang and could not be bought and sold privately, but the farm tools were all used by Yingyin to make money.

"Not bad." Jiang Xia nodded, "As long as Your Majesty's iron ore can keep up, the output is not a problem!" When the disciples of the Mo family come to Yangwu in a few days, the productivity should be greatly improved. ”

It's not that he blows, with the current level of fighting, a Xianglian can make him a Yangwu factory for the Great Qin army to conquer the world!

During the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu fought by the Han people were defeated and retreated.

The result?

A large number of the Huns were beaten and fled to the west, only to find that they were beaten every day by the Huns, but when they went to the west, they were like no one, and there was no opponent!

It's not that the Huns are too vegetable, but that the Han is too strong!

Although Jiang Xia was not sure when the Central Plains began to gradually fall behind in terms of combat power, he was very sure that no matter the terrain now, if only the level of combat power was discussed, the Central Plains > the Xiongnu > the Western Continent!

Without his own help, Brother Zheng can sweep the world, and with his own help, wouldn't he push all the way?

Ying Yinyan showed a contemplative expression and asked suspiciously, "But if the productivity is increased too much, and there is no need to make weapons at that time, what will so many workers do?" ”

"The progress of science and technology never ends!" Jiang Xia said with great certainty, "Now the main weapons are still bronze, but after Xianglian's improvement, they have become steel, how many jobs have been created?" ”

Ying Yin Yan thought about it, and counted them one by one, "miners, transportation, road repair, factories, construction ......"

The more Yingyin Yan counted, the more she felt that she was just improving the process of making weapons, and she had created so much wealth unconsciously?

As long as it is not the case of excessive taxation, how many people can make a living from it?

"Then how does the princess know that the current craftsmanship has reached its peak?" Jiang Xia's tone was calm, but it brought a huge impact to Ying Yinyan!

In ancient times, people only used sticks and stone axes, how could people at that time have thought that people would be able to refine metal and create bronze weapons in the future?

Then the improved steel is only more advanced than bronze, why is it the apex?

"In other words, there is more to be done on top of steel?"

"Not bad." Jiang Xia said very surely.

Improvement can definitely be improved, as for how to improve......

He's not a professional, how would he know?

Professional questions should be handed over to professional people.

"It's like now that we have to take a carriage when we travel, then does the princess know that without any human or animal power, a huge steel can carry people and goods to all parts of the world, and the heavens and seas can do anything?"

Hiss!

Ying Yin Yan couldn't imagine the scene Jiang Xia described at all, but ......

She believes in Jiang Xia!

"Worthy of a gentleman! Sure enough, well-informed! Yingyin looked at Jiang Xia with blank eyes, and asked very expectantly, "I don't know when Mr. will be able to make things that go to heaven and the sea, can I see it?" ”

Ah, this ......

The corners of Jiang Xia's mouth trembled.

At the current level of technology, do you want to build airplanes and submarines?

It's better to dream faster.

"The progress of science and technology is gradual, and now that even the steel giant ship has not been built, how can it be possible to reach the sky in one step?"

"The Great Ship of Steel?" Ying Yin Yan was stunned for a moment, and pointed to Yingbu's knife, "Sir is saying that the steel used to make swords can still be used to build ships?" How can it be? ”

Wood is used to build ships because it is inherently able to float on water.

But steel is heavier than water, and it is impossible to float at all!

Isn't that common sense?

Can......

Ying Yinyan's face suddenly flushed with excitement, if what Mr. said was true, he could really make a giant ship made of steel, then why be afraid of the giant beasts in the sea?!

Behemoths can overturn wooden boats, even bite wooden boats, and knock people into the sea to kill them, can they still break steel?!

Once there is a giant steel ship, then they are invincible at sea?!
