Chapter eight hundred and sixty-three must give us a way
Ying Zheng agreed to set a Mid-Autumn Festival, and the news appeared in the newspapers the next day. The people must have cheered after seeing it.
Also published is the recipe for making mooncakes!
After seeing this, the people started making noodles one after another!
Not to mention, the baked goods are indeed delicious!
"This mooncake tastes really good. Why didn't we think of it before?"
"If you had thought about it, you would have become the disciple of a god!"
"That's right! If I let you know, you definitely wouldn't reveal the production method!"
"Haha! This is true...!"
The common people smiled shamelessly.
If he had this kind of cooking skills, he would definitely make a fortune in silence and would never share the recipe.
Not even my own mother!
"It's a pity that today is not the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. If it were a full moon night, with moon cakes, we could drink wine and compose poems, which would definitely become a good story!"
"That's right! Now we can only wait until next Mid-Autumn Festival!"
"Then it's settled, we'll get together again on the Mid-Autumn Festival next year...!"
In the teahouse, several literati and elegant guests said with a little regret while tasting the mooncakes just made by the pastry chef.
A few days later, Ying Feiyu's mooncake shop also opened. It was inevitable that the business would be booming!
At this time, Ying Feiyu is already looking forward to next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I believe it will be a different scene!
…
After the heat of moon cakes passed, people began to officially start the autumn harvest.
Wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, the main food crops of later generations, are almost all available in this era!
The people raced against time to harvest the crops in the fields. They set out before dawn and did not return home until nightfall.
Try to harvest all the mature crops in the field and take them home before the heavy snow comes!
While the people are busy, cooperatives in various counties and counties are also extremely busy.
Internal combustion engine tractors leave early and come back late, but they cannot meet the needs of the people!
At the same time, diesel consumption is also huge.
Coupled with the gradual production of internal combustion engine vehicles, more and more people are buying them.
Gasoline consumption also increases!
This thing is much more convenient than the previous steam cars.
You can go wherever you want, anytime!
The demand for fuel has increased, and gas stations have begun to open throughout Daqin!
The previous steam era began to gradually withdraw from the stage!
This is definitely a good thing for most people in Da Qin.
Because the efficiency of internal combustion engine machines is much higher than that of steam engines!
Some are happy and some are sad. While most people are happy, there are also some who are crying!
When steam engines were popular in the past, the amount of coal consumed every day was huge.
The nobles took a fancy to the business opportunities and immediately began to purchase coal mines in large quantities across the country!
In this era, there were no advanced instruments for surveying like later generations. Only when coal mines were discovered on the surface could we continue to dig deeper.
This is what Xungui bought, so the quantity is not too much!
The number of coal mines is small and there are many people buying them, so the price of coal mines is gradually rising!
At that time, the efficiency of steam engines was far greater than that of human power, and its working efficiency was something that ordinary people could not even imagine before!
No one thought that one day the steam engine would be eliminated!
In the past, owning a coal mine was similar to owning a gold mine. As long as you dug it out and laundered it, you could exchange it for money!
Now that there are internal combustion engines, steam engines have suddenly become obsolete.
Coal, which was in short supply before, suddenly became uninterested, catching those nobles by surprise!
While steam engines were being widely used, many ministers in the DPRK and China also purchased them, and all of them were angry at this time!
Wang Ben and others are naturally no exception.
Like the other monkey spirits, they were the first to buy it. At that time, the price of coal mines had not yet risen, so they bought a lot at once!
Now the consumption of coal has dropped sharply, and several of their mining areas have stopped working!
So they came to Bieyuan one after another, hoping that Ying Feiyu could find a solution for them!
"Your Highness, we don't care. You developed the internal combustion engine. You have to help us think of a solution. We have closed several mining areas now!"
Kang Anping didn't know how to beat around the bush, so he held his neck and said it straight out.
"Several mining areas have been closed down? Aren't there still a few operating? This is already good!"
Ying Feiyu crossed his legs and sipped the tea leisurely.
Internal combustion engines gradually replaced steam engines, but those steam ships and steam trains remained unchanged.
Except for the output of the Imperial Coal Mine, almost all the coal used is old coal.
While other Xungui mining areas are closed, it is already good that a few of them can continue to persevere!
"What's more, when you bought the coal mine, the price hadn't increased yet. You must have made back all your capital over the years!"
"Your Highness, you can't say that. Although the price was not high when we bought it, it still costs money to operate it over the years. We can't just watch it close down!"
Chunyu Yue said with a bitter face.
"How much does that cost? Over the years, coal has been driven out one by one, and the cost has been earned back...!"
Ying Feiyu put down the tea cup in his hand and continued: "What's more, this prince has already revealed to you about the Shiqi Mine at the beginning of his research on the internal combustion engine. Without the road to the coal mine, there is still a Shiqi Mine available!"
"Hey, His Highness the Crown Prince, don't listen to that kid Kang Anping. We have been in a relationship for so many years. His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely take care of our interests before doing anything...!"
Zhang Han showed a flattering smile and continued: "We do have a stone paint mine. Even if the coal mine cannot make money, it doesn't matter, but the nobles among the people can't! They bought the coal mine at a high price, and now they have lost this money-making opportunity.
You must have complaints in your heart! We are here today just for these people!"
The fuel required for internal combustion engines is extracted from stone paint.
Coal sales have plummeted due to the manufacture of internal combustion engines, but they have stone paint mines in their hands, so they really can't hold Ying Feiyu responsible!
But it’s different if it’s under the banner of the people!
If those who own coal mines among the people are dissatisfied and unite together, it will not be a good thing for the court!
"Yes, yes, we are here just for the people who have coal mines in their hands. They have made money over the years, but His Royal Highness suddenly cut off their financial path. They must be dissatisfied and have to find a way!
"
After Zhang Han found a reasonable reason, Feng Quji also agreed.
"When does this prince do anything that I don't think carefully about?"
Even though the old guys were talking about the interests of the people, Ying Feiyu still had that leisurely attitude and said with a smile.
"So, His Highness the Crown Prince has an idea?"
