Chapter 469 Taking a Photo of Ying Zheng
Xianyang City, Chaotang.
"Your Majesty, since the opening of the Xianluo Railway, the passenger flow along the line has directly increased by more than ten times."
"Many people arrived in Luoyang along the Grand Canal, and then took the train to Xianyang City for sightseeing. Now in Xianyang City, all the restaurants and inns are full, and the reservation demand has even been queued for a month later. gone."
"In addition to passenger transport, the growth of freight trains is also very rapid. Nowadays, major merchants gather around the door of the freight center every time to compete for wagons. Just loading and unloading wagons has brought thousands of jobs."
Chen Ping introduced with a happy face: "Nowadays, all counties and prefectures in Daqin are asking for the construction of the railway as soon as possible, even the Jiangnan area is no exception."
"After the Romans saw the grand occasion of the Xianluo Railway, they also very straightforwardly agreed to the construction cost of [-] yuan per mile, and the profits generated from it were enough for Daqin to build another Xianluo Railway."
Meng Yi and the others couldn't help but Qiqi took a deep breath.
Although the strength of the railway had been expected for a long time, after hearing the specific figures, everyone still couldn't believe it.
"It would be great if this railway can really facilitate the counties and counties of Daqin!"
"By then, my Daqin will really be a land of abundance everywhere!"
Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Can you consider speeding up the construction progress of the remaining railways by increasing manpower?"
Feng Jie asked.
"What currently plagues railway construction is not manpower, but the lack of manufacturing capacity and the inability to transport machinery and equipment in time due to complex terrain."
"Currently, we can only take the way of repairing and transporting all the way. If we want to really connect the railway to Persia County, it will take two or three years, so don't even think about it."
"On the other hand, the Academy of Engineering, according to the request of His Royal Highness, is developing a steam engine for sea-going ships as power. It is said that if it is realized, the current time from Kuaiji to Persia can be shortened by more than one-third, and it can be completed within this year."
"The minister also heard that the upgraded sea ship has a stronger carrying capacity, and can even directly transport trains and railways to Persia County, and start work on both sides at the same time, which can save more time."
Chen Ping said with a smile.
"The railway is the foundation for my Daqin to expand again, and it must be done as soon as possible."
"By the way, why haven't you seen the prince come to court these days, what is he busy with?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Chaotangdao.
"According to the Academy of Engineering, His Royal Highness has been researching new inventions recently. The manufacturing technology of this new type of sea-going steam engine was provided by His Royal Highness."
"By the way, the Neishi Mansion also received a request from His Royal Highness to ask the minister to organize a group of people with experience in fire fighting and start learning steam car driving skills. He said that there will be a special steam fire truck at that time. Let these people be prepared."
Nestern answered.
"Steam fire engine, this is a good thing. Now that the city of Daqin is developing faster and faster, and the population is becoming more and more concentrated, fire prevention is indeed a big problem."
"The fire in Didao County before was extinguished after burning for two days and two nights. Dozens of people were killed and injured, and property damage was as high as millions of dollars."
"For this reason, the Metropolitan Procuratorate also dealt with a large number of negligent officials, but it was already too late."
He said in a weak voice.
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Ying Yu, who was repeatedly mentioned by everyone, stepped into the court hall, holding a black box in his hand.
"I was talking about you just now, you kid has been in retreat for so long this time, and what good things have you researched?"
After seeing Ying Yu, Ying Zheng questioned him directly.
How can there be a prince who doesn't go to court at every turn, it's really outrageous.
"Marine steam engines and steam fire engines have been introduced by ministers just now, so I won't repeat them."
"Besides that, this son-in-law also came up with a new item, which I specially brought here to show my father."
Ying Yu smiled and said.
"In that case, let's show it." Ying Zheng waved helplessly.
"The next demonstration of this new invention may be a bit loud. Please avoid it for the time being and be mentally prepared."
Ying Yu opened the box in his hand with a smile, and said with a smile.
Seeing this, Meng Yi and the others hurriedly backed away, watching curiously.
Since the rise of Ying Yu, Daqin's new inventions have been emerging one after another. They are also well-informed, and it is not a problem to introduce new things.
What is it that can scare them all and require Ying Yu to say hello in advance?
A group of people couldn't help but focus their eyes on the black box that Ying Yu was supporting, but after checking it repeatedly for a long time, they didn't see anything.
No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary black box with a round mouth.
Inside the round mouth, there seems to be a piece of glazed glass, but nowadays there are glazed doors and windows in every house, which is nothing new.
"Father, sit still and don't move. My son will take a picture of you."
"Very well, just like this, show your majesty."
Ying Yu pointed the camera at Ying Zheng, adjusted the focus, and pressed the switch in his hand.
"Crack!"
A bright white light flashed, Meng Ren and the others were still in a daze, but they saw that Ying Yu had taken back the black box.
"Is that all right?"
Ying Zheng looked puzzled.
"Well, the photos have been taken. All that remains is to take out the negatives and develop the photos."
Ying Yu replied with a smile.
"photo?"
Ying Zheng couldn't help being even more puzzled.
"It's a new type of imaging technology. Through the principle of mirror image, the image of the father can be accurately rubbed onto the film, and then enlarged and developed on the blueprint. It is the photo of the father himself."
"This kind of photo is much more vivid than figure painting, and can more accurately show the image of the father."
Ying Yu explained with a smile.
"is it?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
As long as people are human, they all have the mentality of showing off, and the majestic and majestic are just like the first emperor, and there is no exception.
Before, Yingzheng asked many well-known painters to paint many portraits of himself, hoping that the emperors and people of the Great Qin Dynasty would better look up to his own image.
It's just that due to various reasons, there is still a big gap between these portraits and the self that the first emperor saw in the mirror, which makes Ying Zheng deeply regretful.
Now that Ying Yu actually had a new way to record his image more accurately, Ying Zheng was instantly tempted.
All the officials surrounded them one by one.
The reason why they are so dedicated is not to leave a name in history, and to strive for a position in the Pavilion of Heroes?
How could you miss this opportunity to record your own image more accurately.
