Since Ying Feiyu came to Da Qin, he has been close to Wang Bi, Zhang Han and others, and several old guys have also made a lot of money relying on Ying Feiyu.

Old people who have money will definitely work hard to improve their living standards.

No matter what new gadgets Ying Feiyu develops, they will be the first to possess them.

Electricity is no exception!

In addition to the palace, the residences of their six ministers were the first to light up!

"Dad! Look, this lamp is really bright. It's brighter than lighting ten... well... it's brighter than lighting twenty oil lamps, hehe!"

In the Tongwuhou Mansion, Wang Ben kept raising his head, looking at the electric light hanging upside down on the roof with a face full of joy, and said to me Wang Jian with a smile.

"Okay! It's mentioned in the precautions for using electricity. You can't look at this light with your eyes all the time. It will hurt your eyes, especially for children!"

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

The scene in several other old shop houses was similar. Both the master and the servants were all surrounding the electric lights and watching intently.

When the people saw the lights on in several people's mansions, they looked sideways.

Some young people even climbed to the top of the wall and squatted on it, wanting to see more carefully how the electric light glowed!

In the next period of time, Huang Yuan was really busy. During the day, he had to lead people to install electricity for Baiguan who had already paid. At night, there were a lot of people lining up waiting to pay.

After struggling for a while, the electricity was officially on the right track, and the craftsmen had enough experience, and then they handed over all these things to a capable person!

As for himself, he devoted himself to studying the drawings that Ying Feiyu gave him before!

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

Only when roads are built can the economy be boosted.

So at Ying Feiyu's suggestion, Daqin added ten more railway lines to facilitate people's travel and trade!

Although Ying Zheng is stingy, he fully supports it. After all, he has a stake in the railway. The bigger the railway is built, the more money it will make, and the more dividends the railway will pay to the court in the future!

Railways can carry passengers and goods on weekdays, and can also transport troops in case of war. They are magical tools that benefit the country and the people. How could he stop it?

The construction of the railway requires a lot of labor, which also creates a lot of job opportunities for the people along the railway, allowing them to make money to supplement their families after busy farming!

However, when building a railway, it is inevitable to have to cut mountains and rocks. Even with the help of explosives and no need for manual excavation, it is still very dangerous.

There are not many people in Da Qin, and their lives are more important than anything else, so these jobs are naturally left to the defeated captives from various countries!

As a result, the prisoners before Da Qin were not enough!

"Your Majesty, there is news from Wo Island that gold mining has reached a critical period recently. There are too many places for labor and there are no extra prisoners to transfer to us to build the railway!"

"Your Majesty! The situation is similar in Chen County. If the prisoners are to be transferred back, I'm afraid it will delay the mining of the mineral deposits...!"

In the past, every time Great Qin conquered a country, it would send its troops and members of the royal family to be slaves in the mines of various places, doing the most dangerous work and creating benefits for Great Qin.

But he never imagined that when the Qin Dynasty built a large number of railways, it would still need many slaves.

Where do they go to find it?

"Isn't this simple? Find a country and fight one more time. Wouldn't it be over?"

This remark comes from Wang Ben.

If it were in the past, these words would not only be refuted by hundreds of officials, but also severely shouted by Ying Zheng!

Do you think the war between the two countries is just like children playing house? You pushed down my house, and I stepped on your fence!

When the two countries are at war, they must first see how strong they are. If they cannot support the army for two or three years, then don't even think about it.

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

Just like the Huns before.

It frequently bullied Da Qin. Even if Da Qin sent troops, it was only symbolic and did not use the power of the whole country to destroy it.

Because the price that needs to be paid is too great!

Once all the efforts of the whole country are used up, even if the Huns are successfully wiped out and this major problem is permanently eliminated, the internal affairs of the country will be empty and the people will have no life.

Even other small countries around Da Qin would take advantage of Da Qin's emptiness and come to carve it up.

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

Even if the situation were better, without neighboring countries taking advantage of the situation, Great Qin would still have to wait for decades to regain its strength.

In these decades, there have been too many unstable factors.

Therefore, Ying Zheng would rather sacrifice some small border villages to let the Xiongnu take advantage rather than engage in a too large-scale war with them.

As long as Meng Tian can guard Shangjun and prevent the Xiongnu from advancing further!

Therefore, when two countries go to war, one must think twice and think twice.

Carefully consider all possible consequences before taking action.

This consideration may last three to five years, or it may last a lifetime!

Until a generation of emperors ascended to heaven, they did not consider whether to fight this battle or not!

However, now that the Qin Dynasty lacks a few slaves to build railways, Wang Ben can talk about war, and looks at the civil and military officials of the dynasty, who seem to agree very much.

Especially Meng Yi, Kang Anping and others nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Han, who has always been stingy, didn't say a word, and looked at his posture to express his support!

Because the current war between the two countries does not require spending any money at all, and it can even create a lot of benefits for the national treasury!

In the past, only food and grass were needed for expeditions, and a lot of military pay had to be prepared.

Now when going on an expedition, those who can take the train will never walk.

You won’t be delayed for long on the road!

When you arrive at the enemy's country and bombard it with a few cannons, are there any good things in the city? Just eat, and you don't need to bring much food and grass!

Ying Feiyu sat on his throne and looked at the confident expressions of the veterans, and couldn't help but laugh!

In the few years since he came to Da Qin, the ministers' reaction to the war has also changed a lot.

From the initial negligent talk, to now I am confident and even have a hint of schadenfreude!

The reason why there are such big changes also proves that Da Qin 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 is unpatriotic.

On the contrary, he hopes that Great Qin will become stronger and stronger, so that all the places where the sun shines will become the territory of Great Qin!

"fight?"

Ying Zheng frowned.

I don't know if it's because of my old age or because I'm too plump.

The flesh on both sides of the old guy's cheeks was drooping downwards, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were also drooping. He didn't look kind.

Coupled with the frown just now, the ministers felt a chill in their hearts.

broken!
