Chapter 294 Sweater
The cotton-padded clothes have already brought enough surprises to everyone, but according to the usual practice, the ones that are behind should be the better.
Thinking of this, everyone in the Qilin Hall immediately looked forward to it.
"There are indeed other clothes to keep out the cold, but if you want to see them, you need to go to the workshop to see them yourself!"
Ying Yu smiled and said!
"Brat, you're playing tricks again!"
Ying Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Forget it, after the court meeting, I will go to the workshop to see how the engineering institute is progressing!"
"I will definitely not disappoint my father and all the adults."
Ying Yu smiled confidently.
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hands, and tightened the cotton coat on his body. He felt a burst of warmth, making him more comfortable.
Everyone's appetite had been whetted by Ying Yu, and a court meeting ended hastily.
Under the leadership of Ying Zheng, the civil and military officials hurriedly followed the emperor's car and headed for the Daqin Engineering Institute in the western suburbs of Xianyang City.
"The warm effect of this cotton padded jacket is really good!"
Feeling the warmth coming from his body, Ying Zheng couldn't help but praise again.
After getting older, even the first emperor became afraid of the cold, but now he was wearing a cotton coat and cotton gloves, but he was not afraid of the late autumn chill at all.
"My son has already sent a batch of cotton cloth and cotton to the palace. If the emperor likes it, just make a few more!"
Ying Yu spoke slowly.
"Have a heart!"
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
I just feel more comfortable in my heart.
Since he almost died in the last trip to the sand dunes, Ying Zheng's understanding of life has become more clear.
At the same time, family affection is also very important.
Ying Yu's various behaviors made Ying Zheng feel very relieved, and his mood naturally improved a lot.
While chatting and laughing, the group arrived at the Daqin Engineering Institute in the western suburbs of Xianyang.
"Why is the Academy of Engineering not built on the edge of the new city like the Academy of Sciences?"
Feng Quji looked at the mountains in front of him and asked curiously.
"The Academy of Sciences focuses on theoretical research, so it is more convenient to be close to the new city.
But the Academy of Engineering is different. The practice that the Academy of Engineering focuses on often makes some big noises, so it is more suitable in remote places! "
"And remote places are more suitable for keeping secrets, and can prevent people who are interested in prying eyes!"
Ying Yu explained to Feng Quji and others with a smile on his face.
At the beginning, he also carefully inspected several places before finally deciding to establish the Academy of Engineering in the Qinling Mountains. For this reason, he also built a concrete straight road and arranged for guards to guard it.
"What His Royal Highness said is true!"
Dunwei said deeply.
It was precisely because of the secrecy at the beginning that at the military parade, Daqin only showed the Qin crossbow, which was difficult to imitate in appearance, and did not show the catapult and kerosene bombs at the bottom of the box.
Even so, after the military parade, the Black Ice Platform still caught many spies from other countries.
There are many military scientific research projects in the Academy of Engineering, so it should really be kept secret.
"The Academy of Engineering has also arrived, and His Royal Highness should reveal the answer to the mystery for us, right?"
Nestern said eagerly.
Along the way, he was thinking about the surprise that Ying Yu said, and he was a little absent-minded even in the court.
"Don't worry, everyone has it!"
Ying Yu smiled and brought Ying Zheng and others into the lobby of the main building of the Academy of Engineering, and then asked someone to bring the gift that had been prepared.
Looking at the big box that was as tall as a person, the eyes of all the officials suddenly lit up.
This amount, really everyone has it.
And when the box was opened, even Ying Zheng couldn't help being surprised when he saw the colorful new clothes.
"What kind of materials are these clothes made of?"
"Although the feel of this coat is not as good as that of a cotton coat, it is fluffy, a bit like fur, and the effect of keeping out the cold is definitely not bad."
Ying Zheng picked up one at random, and commented after feeling it.
"Father, this garment is called a woolen sweater. It is made of wool, which is washed and processed into woolen thread, and then woven with woolen thread."
"The output of this woolen sweater is much higher than that of cotton coats. You adults can choose one and try it. It is a small gift for you!"
Ying Yu introduced with a smile.
"It turns out that His Royal Highness purchased a large amount of wool for this sweater!"
"This woolen sweater is not only beautiful, but also very effective in keeping out the cold."
Nei Shiten happily picked out a woolen sweater for himself, and after putting it on over the official uniform, he said in surprise.
"His Royal Highness just said that the output of this woolen sweater is higher than that of a cotton coat. Is the price..."
Feng Quji thought for a while, his eyes lit up immediately.
"That's right, the price of wool is much lower than that of cotton, and because of the semi-automatic production of the assembly line, the cost is also much lower than that of cotton coats."
Ying Yu smiled slightly and said, "The price of this sweater can be reduced to less than ten yuan!"
"What? Ten coins?"
Nesten and the others showed shock at first, and then ecstasy!
With the continuous development of commerce and industry, the income level of the people in Daqin has also increased a lot.
Take the major projects as an example. Today, the basic salary of literate people is as high as five yuan a day.
That is to say, ordinary people only need to work for two days to buy a sweater.
If you work for ten days, you can also buy a more beautiful and comfortable cotton coat.
Whether it is a woolen sweater or a cotton coat, this price is completely within the range that ordinary people can afford.
Ying Zheng was also very satisfied with this price.
Sufficient food and clothing has always been the only standard for a prosperous dynasty.
Nowadays, with the promotion of new rice, corn and other crops, filling the stomach is not a problem at all.
Once the woolen sweater and cotton coat come out, it's no problem to wear rich clothes.
Coupled with the ever-increasing national power, which far exceeds the land area of previous dynasties, who dares to say that the Great Qin is not in a prosperous age?
Who dares to say that he is a tyrant or a fool?
As the Great Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng felt a great sense of accomplishment at this time.
Although half of these credits are due to Ying Yu, but his son is more capable than Lao Tzu, which is something to be proud of.
"Father, in this factory, the main production is actually woolen yarn. If we want to weave woolen sweaters into woolen sweaters, we should mainly weave it by hand."
"Currently, the price given by the workshop under the Academy of Engineering is two cents each, and it takes about five to seven days for a weaver to weave a sweater at the beginning!"
"If you are proficient, it can be compressed to less than three days."
"Knitting sweaters for the workshop will also become one of the main incomes for women in Xianyang and surrounding areas."
After Ying Yu finished speaking, Nei Sten immediately answered:
"Indeed, I did some calculations. If you are a skilled worker, you can earn two yuan in three days, and twenty Wen in a month. You can buy two woolen sweaters, which is pretty good!"
Although Nei Shiteng was not from a poor family, there are many relatives in his wife's family who rely on him for financial support.
Don't look at Nei Shiteng in charge of the world's money, but he doesn't have much money himself.
It was also a relatively big burden for him to help these poor relatives in the past.
However, since Daqin promoted business, these problems have been perfectly solved.
Now those relatives of his are all working in the workshop, living an extremely nourishing life, and they have all moved into Xianyang New City.
Although the new city is very comfortable, it also leaves the women in the family without a source of income, and can only rely on some female celebrities to make a little money.
Now with the work of knitting sweaters, women can also increase a lot of income for their families, which is definitely a great joy.
Now there is still more than a month before the New Year. If the women in the family work hard to weave, it is enough for the whole family to put on new clothes and celebrate the New Year happily.
If you are skillful, you can have some spare money to improve the food.
Plus the wages of the man in the family in the workshop or construction site.
In the coming New Year, the happiness index of the people of Daqin will definitely soar to an explosive value!
