On the first day that briquettes went on sale, the vendors were extremely busy.

The delivery carriages in Xianyang City continued until late at night before they even stopped for a while!

Almost all the briquettes made by the briquette factory have been sold out!

After the morning meeting the next day, Ying Feiyu was on his way to Bieyuan. When he saw this lively scene, he knew that the briquettes had been a great success!

In this way, the wealthy households who own coal mines have nothing to say!

But the most important thing is that it can reduce the number of people going to the mountains to cut firewood!

The current population is not too large. With economic development, the population will continue to increase. If we continue to cut down the vegetation, there will be less and less vegetation, and the climate will definitely be changed!

In order to avoid such a thing from happening, and also to solve the problem of no one paying attention to the coal mine, briquettes were produced!

Seeing how hot the honeycomb briquettes were, Ying Feiyu felt relieved.

When he arrived at Bieyuan, a few old guys were one step ahead of him, enjoying tea and snacks in the main hall of Bieyuan!

"Haha! Why do you think the mooncakes of His Highness the Prince are so delicious?"

"You old guy are used to taking advantage, right? As long as it's free of charge, it tastes particularly good."

"No, no, no, what I said is true...!"

Before Ying Feiyu walked in, he heard the hearty laughter of some old guys, and they sounded like they were in a good mood!

"The ministers arrived quickly enough!"

After entering the door, Ying Feiyu said with a joking smile.

"Haha! People are in high spirits during happy events, and even their legs and feet are much faster than usual!"

After seeing the person, a few old guys stood up quickly and bowed their hands slightly.

"What? The sales of honeycomb briquettes are good?"

In fact, you don't need to ask to know that the briquettes must have been sold well, so these guys grinned from ear to ear.

Otherwise, everyone would have to come here with the donkey faces they had before.

"Haha, honeycomb briquettes make small profits but quick sales, and are very powerful. Coupled with His Royal Highness the Prince's propaganda, a certain honeycomb briquettes factory was sold out on just the first day. Now three shifts have been arranged to produce around the clock!"

"Yes, a certain briquette factory sold out all the briquettes in just half a day yesterday. The vendors were waiting in line at the door to buy goods!"

"It's better now, our coal mines are back to life again...!"

As expected, the old guys came to him in a happy mood just to show off this matter.

"Then you have to increase your manufacturing power, otherwise with so many briquette factories in Daqin, the market will be occupied by others!"

Ying Feiyu said with a smile.

"Of course!"

The veterans also nodded repeatedly.

The weather is getting colder, and while people are using briquettes to boil water for cooking, they are also starting to use briquettes for heating!

When briquettes became popular, blacksmiths in various counties were also very busy, building coal stoves and fire tongs day and night!

There are also some ingenious blacksmiths who have begun to study how to modify the coal stove so that the heat is not wasted and the heating area is increased!

The first snow has fallen, and the people’s autumn harvest has also come to an end!

In the past, after harvesting grain, a large portion had to be handed over.

Since Ying Feiyu proposed reducing agricultural taxes, the people only need to contribute a small part!

The remaining grain can be stored by yourself or sold to grain stores.

But the most were sold to the imperial court and stored in granaries everywhere!

The price is reasonable and you will definitely not cheat people out of their money!

This part of the food can be used for disaster relief, and can also be used as food for the Qin soldiers!

It is better to be prepared than to be without food after a disaster!

At the same time, the cement roads on some main roads in Daqin are almost complete, and some sections have begun to open to traffic.

However, if I want to fully understand it and officially start charging, I estimate that I will have to work for another year next year.

Because many facilities have not yet been completed, including toll stations, service areas, etc.!

With the slaves of the Maurya Dynasty, the progress of Daqin's railway construction has accelerated a lot, and it has begun to take shape!

Of course, there are only a few main lines. It is absolutely impossible to reach the scale of later generations!

This is what people are looking forward to!

Taking advantage of the end of the autumn harvest, various factories began to recruit short-term workers.

Farmers are a very large group, and they usually don't have time to work in factories.

But now that the autumn harvest is over, most of them are idle at home.

It will still be four or five months until next year when the ice and snow melt and farming can begin.

The factory took a fancy to this period of time and published information on a new recruitment page in the newspaper.

The salary is definitely slightly lower than that of older employees who have been working all year round.

If you can make some money during your break, even if it's a little less, many people are willing to go!

Just when everything was going well, the palace suddenly received an urgent telegram.

When it was delivered to Ying Zheng, it was early morning.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ying Zheng, and everyone watched helplessly as the boss's face turned from sunny to gloomy, and in the end turned out to be full of anger!

"boom……"

Finally, Ying Zheng punched Long An.

Wang Ben and others looked around, thinking that some desperate official had done something outrageous and was about to suffer disaster after being reported.

As a result, they also waited anxiously to be punished.

However, after waiting for a long time, Ying Zheng did not mention his name, but ordered Jing Fu to read the telegram to everyone!

"After civilian ships entered Yizhou, they dispersed. Some people were jointly attacked by the indigenous people. By the time the army received the news, thousands of people had been injured, hundreds of people died, and several steamships were attacked in different ways.

A lot of damage has been done, and a lot of property has been lost. Your Majesty, I apologize!"

"In addition, Yizhou has a vast territory and limited garrison troops. This may happen again. I hope your majesty can send troops to reinforce it to ensure the safety of the people!"

After Jing Fu finished reciting, his face turned bad.

The ministers were also in an uproar.

"Haven't those natives been defeated? Why are they still attacking the people of Great Qin?"

"It's probably a fake surrender!"

"This bunch of natives are really thieves, they are behind the scenes! If they can't defeat our Da Qin soldiers, then they will attack the common people!"

"What do the soldiers stationed on the island do for food? So many people died! Nowadays, there are no such heavy casualties in a battle!"

"Since the state is so big, General Han has brought a total of 100,000 people with him. Ten thousand left behind would be a lot. How can he take care of the entire state in an all-round way?"

"Yes! Those indigenous people are very familiar with Yizhou. The people went there rashly and were not familiar with the terrain. If those indigenous people wanted to take action, the people would not be able to hide away!"

"Alas...! I don't know which fleet is dead or injured!"
Chapter completed!
