Chapter 250
Three days later, above the court.
"Your Highness, what treasure have you found again?"
Looking at the package in Fusu's hand, Nesteng hurriedly greeted him with a happy face.
Last time, Fusu entered the court with two paper packets, but what he brought to Daqin was the trade artifact of white sugar, which directly increased the transaction volume of Daqin's already extremely high sea trade by one percent again.
Don't underestimate the proportion of one percent, under the astronomical base, the increase in one percent's income has exceeded the total annual income of the treasury before Great Qin.
Especially after the establishment of Daqin Sugar Corporation, the profit and tax ratio of white sugar are much higher than those of several other maritime trade products, so the treasury revenue has directly increased by nearly two percent.
Now seeing Fusu entering the court with a package again, Nei Shi Teng instantly looked forward to it.
The eyes of the rest of the hundred officials also came over one after another, obviously thinking of it with Nei Shiten.
"Your eyes are really getting sharper and sharper. "
"But this time the treasure has a profit margin not as high as sugar!"
Fusu shook his head with a smile and said.
With the continuous soaring profits of commerce, the officials of the court have become more and more obsessed with money, and they no longer have any doubts about commerce.
Who makes them benefit from the high profits of trade, both public and private?
The officials looked at each other and smiled.
Sure enough, the products produced by His Royal Highness Fusu must be high-quality products.
In addition to glass, which product profit margin can be compared with white sugar?
And Fusu can use white sugar as an example, this new treasure, the effect on Daqin, will definitely not be small.
The officials suddenly became more curious, but Fusu just smiled and groaned, but he didn't speak, leaving the officials speechless for a while.
"Fusu, don't sell Guanzi, say it quickly!"
Ying Zheng, who walked into the court from the side door, also saw the package carried by Fusu and Fusu who were surrounded by hundreds of officials, and suddenly smiled.
"Just waiting for your father to come over!"
Fusu opened the package in his hand with a smile, and said with a slight smile: "This is the warm clothes that the son asked the emperor to cut for his father, do you want to try if it fits?"
"Haha, it's rare that Fusu has this filial piety, of course my father wants to wear it. "
Ying Zheng smiled and took the cotton coat in Fusu's hand, looked at it lovingly for a long time, and showed it to the courtiers like a show off.
After the storm of the officials, Daqin became more and more politically harmonious, and the atmosphere in the court was much better.
The first emperor, who had always been majestic before, has also become a lot more easy-going, and occasionally laughs to liven up the atmosphere, especially this moment of showing off his son.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"As soon as late autumn arrived, His Royal Highness began to tailor new clothes for His Majesty, which can be called another good story of my Great Qin!"
"Your Highness, this is to set an example and remind me that the people of Great Qin, after becoming rich, don't forget to always fulfill filial piety!"
The civil and military officials praised one after another, and their faces were a little more envious.
The filial piety of children has always been one of the greatest achievements of being a father, and compared with Fusu, those bastards in their family, forget it, don't mention it.
There's no comparison.
"I don't know what kind of material this garment is made of, but it is very comfortable, and it is very warm, much stronger than silk. "
Ying Zheng happily accepted the congratulations of the officials, and with the help of Fusu, he put the coat on the outside of the dragon robe, and soon felt a burst of warmth, and even the cold of late autumn was eliminated a lot, and he suddenly exclaimed.
"Father, this is a coat made of cotton cloth made by the sons of the engineering institute with a large amount of cotton grown in Tianzhu County today, and it is also filled with three catties of cotton, so it is comfortable and warm, and it is ready to be one of the main clothes for the people of Daqin this winter. "
Fusu took out a ball of cotton and a pair of cotton gloves again, and introduced it to Yingzheng and the officials with a smile.
"This cotton is somewhat similar to kapok, but it feels much better and has a stronger effect against the cold. "
Feng Quji, who was old and most afraid of the cold, rushed to put the gloves into the cotton gloves first, felt the warm feeling, and praised them.
"I just don't know how much it's worth?"
"What about the yield?"
Nesten pondered for a moment.
At this moment, Daqin's clothes are mainly silk and linen, but the effect of keeping warm from the cold is very average, so large families will try their best to make their clothes thicker, and some of them have tried the method of kapok.
However, the quantity of kapok is too scarce, resulting in the price has been high, and it is easy to deform, and it will not take too long, which will increase the cost again.
"At present, such clothes cost about forty or fifty yuan a piece, and after the construction of the hydraulic power assembly line workshop that has been successfully researched by the engineering institute is completed, it can be compressed to less than twenty yuan!"
"There is no need to worry about the output, Prince Ben has long asked the caravan to buy from all over the world, and now the cotton in stock is enough to make millions of cotton coats. "
"When the cotton harvest in Tianzhu County is large-scale next year, the yield can be increased again. "
Fusu said with a smile.
"That's great!"
"If millions of cotton clothes can be put on the market, the people of Daqin will be much more active this winter, and the traders no longer need to worry about no one shopping on the street in winter. "
Nesteng said with a happy face.
Although the appearance of the coal stove made Daqin much warmer last winter, it was limited to being at home, and the people still did not dare to go out in the cold.
If this was before last year, the impact would not be too great, but now that Daqin's commerce and trade are developing extremely vigorously, going out less means that consumption will be greatly reduced, and the income of the traders will be much less, and the commercial tax, which has become the main source of revenue for the treasury, will also be greatly affected.
This autumn is cold again, and the flow of people in Xianyang New Town has been affected a little recently, and the vendors are worried about it.
Nesteng is also worried that there will be early snow this year, which will greatly affect the New Year period that should be the peak consumption season (the first day of October in the Qin calendar), and affect the economy of Daqin at the beginning of the year.
Now with the new cotton clothes proposed by Fusu, the number can be as many as one million, which is even better.
"If the minister heard correctly, what His Highness said before was that this cotton coat is one of the main clothes for the people of Daqin to keep out the cold this winter?"
Meng Yi's eyes lit up.
Ying Zheng and others also looked over.
This cotton coat has already given them a big surprise, and according to the convention, the back one must be better.
The group couldn't help but look forward to it even more.
"This one does exist, but if you want to see it better, it's best to go to the workshop to see it yourself, the effect is better!"
Fusu said with a smile.
"Fusu, you're selling Guanzi again!"
Ying Zheng shook his head with a smile and said: "That's it, after the court meeting, I and the courtiers will follow Fusu and you to the workshop to see how the development of the engineering institute is!"
"I won't disappoint my father and you. "
Fusu smiled confidently.
"Then the father is waiting for your wonderful performance. "
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand, and tightened the cotton clothes draped over the dragon robe, only to feel that the warmth came, and it was more comfortable.
