"Your Highness, how much is this new oil lamp and this lamp oil worth?"
Nesteng calmed down for a moment.
If you want to promote it on a large scale in Daqin, in addition to performance, price is also a very important factor.
Although the treasury revenue has increased more than ten times compared with before, the family is big and the expenditure is constantly increasing.
"The materials of the lamps are nothing more than glass, copper and iron, and the most expensive is just the cotton core in the middle. "
"After the cotton harvest in Tianzhu County, the price of lamps and lanterns can be reduced to less than ten yuan!"
"As for this lamp oil, it is a natural thing, but it takes a little effort to distill and separate. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
Anyway, the Daqin version of kerosene is just for lighting, and it doesn't matter if the purity is low, as long as you do a good job of ventilation.
As for whether it will be wasted?
Next to Persian County, there is the world's largest oil field waiting for Daqin to exploit.
"In this way, the minister will rest assured!"
Nesten said with a smile.
"Does this new lamp have a name?"
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.
If a few of these new lamps could be hung in the imperial study, he would no longer have to worry about not being able to read the small print on the folds and books.
"I'm waiting for you to choose a name!"
Fusu smiled slightly.
Fame is already a floating cloud for him now, and Ying Zheng is happy, so he will give Ying Zheng, his father, as a gift.
"Let's call it the Everlasting Lantern!"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment, looked at the dazzling light that couldn't be looked at directly, and his eyes lit up.
"It is worthy of Your Majesty, this everlasting lamp is really appropriate!"
"With this ever-bright lamp, in the future, my Great Qin, the night will be like day!"
"Haha, after you and I get off work, you can also go to Xianyang New Town together to take a walk and see the scenery of flowers on both sides of Weishui, which is very comfortable!"
"Produced by His Royal Highness the Prince, it is really extraordinary!"
The officials also touted one after another, and they were all in a good mood.
"This will be a Shaofu, under your command of Fusu, it is really much different than before!"
Ying Zheng was also impressed.
In the past, the general was a small department for the imperial court to repair the palace and prepare materials, which was inconspicuous in the court, and directly became the pension department for the nobles.
As the disciple of the Mo family, who will be the main force of the Shaofu, he is also divided into multiple factions and has been quarreling endlessly.
However, since Fusu let Gongyi Yue settle in the Shaofu Mansion, everything has completely changed.
The entire Jiangzuo Shaofu has been directly renewed, and many new inventions that have contributed greatly to the entire Daqin have been launched in succession, and many workshop production processes have also been reformed, so that the productivity of the entire Daqin has been greatly improved.
Among the major projects organized by the imperial court, there are also many outstanding performances, which are fundamentally different from the past.
Moreover, the disciples of the Mo family inside did not continue to quarrel uselessly, and carried out various professional ability competitions with the disciples of the public losers who joined later, and completely entered a benign state of work.
This is undoubtedly a great surprise for Ying Zheng.
"In fact, the current Shaofu is only in the preliminary stage, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!"
"And the territory in this palace is a little too small. "
Fusu spread his hands.
"Do you have any specific suggestions for Fusu?"
"Just say it. "
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
Erchen thought that the work of the general Shaofu could be refined again, leaving only the responsibility of being in charge of the construction project and the production of equipment, and promoted to the same position as Jiuqing. "
"In addition, Erchen plans to choose another place and set up a professional R&D institution to develop various more advanced equipment and technologies for my Daqin, and after the research and development, it will be handed over to the General Shaofu for production. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
The reform he was talking about was actually to change the Shaofu into a similar responsibility to the Ministry of Industry in later generations, and its status was also raised.
And the R&D function is independent to build a Daqin version of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Fusu is well aware that science and technology are the criterion of the primary productive force.
If you want Daqin to achieve long-term peace and stability after the sun never sets on the empire, and always be far ahead of the world, the great development of science and technology is indispensable.
Moreover, it is necessary to improve the scientific research level of Daqin itself, and the various advanced technologies exchanged by Fusu from the system are more often a catalyst, which can only play the greatest role after being completely absorbed and transformed by Daqin craftsmen.
And when the craftsmen of Daqin can keep up with Fusu's thinking, and realize all the concepts in Fusu's mind in Daqin, then Daqin will really take off completely.
Otherwise, no matter how much prestige Fusu has, it will not be enough to redeem.
"Can you be more specific?"
Ying Zheng said with a hint of deep thought on his face.
He completely saw the various advanced technologies brought by Fusu to the driving effect of Daqin.
And Ying Zheng originally liked Gao Daquan's style, so he naturally hoped that everything in Daqin would be the best.
It's just that the long-term concept makes Ying Zheng not know much about technology and research and development.
"The so-called R&D institution is an institution that integrates all the forces of our Daqin to make key breakthroughs according to the current needs of our Daqin. "
"For example, this time Xianyang City lacks lighting tools, and the R&D institution will improve the existing lamps and lamp oils to develop new lamps and lanterns similar to ever-bright lamps. "
"After the successful development of lamps and lanterns, we must also study how to continuously improve the production process, how to produce the most and best products with the least cost and the fastest speed, so as to improve efficiency and profits. "
Fusu explained with a smile.
"It is indeed necessary!"
"What do you think?"
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the courtiers on the side who also showed thoughtful expressions.
"The old minister thinks that His Royal Highness's proposal is excellent, and now the demand for new equipment in the army has increased greatly, if it is adjusted according to what His Highness said, it will inevitably speed up again, so that the soldiers can get more and better equipment earlier!"
Wang Jian stroked his beard and smiled.
A military general who leads the army to fight, who doesn't want the guy in his hand to be the best?
The minister also agreed that now that there are many projects in Daqin, it is indeed necessary to improve the status and manpower of the general Shaofu, and increase the manpower and refine the responsibilities. "
Nesten also echoed.
"The reason why His Highness wants to set up a special research institute is that in addition to improving efficiency, I am afraid that there are also factors that are more convenient for secrecy, right?"
The person in charge of the Black Ice Platform thought for a long time, and suddenly asked.
Fusu smiled and nodded.
Sure enough, with his efforts, the courtiers of Great Qin had a much higher vision than before.
Not only can they realize the importance of technology, but they can also draw inferences and come up with more ideas.
It is worthy of the golden autumn harvest season, and Daqin's science and technology should also begin to usher in a big explosion.
