Chapter 293 The Artifact of Warming the Cold, the Joyful Yingzheng
Three days later, there will be a court meeting in Xianyang Palace and Qilin Palace.
"His Royal Highness, what kind of treasure have you invented?"
Seeing Ying Yu walking in with a package, Nesten hurried forward to say hello.
The last time Ying Yu brought two paper bags into the Qilin Palace, he brought Daqin a trade artifact called white sugar, which directly increased Daqin's sea trade turnover by more than [-]%.
Don't underestimate this [-]% ratio. Under the astronomical base, a [-]% increase in income already exceeds the total annual income of the state treasury before the Great Qin Dynasty.
Especially after the establishment of Daqin Sugar Corporation, the profit and tax ratio of white granulated sugar are much higher than those of several other key products of sea trade.
Therefore, the revenue of the treasury has directly increased by nearly [-]%, and Nei Shiten, who counts the money, has been grieving recently.
Seeing Ying Yu entering the Qilin Hall with a package now, Nei Shi Teng immediately looked forward to it.
The eyes of the rest of the officials also looked over one after another, apparently thinking of Nei Shiteng together.
"My lords' eyes are really getting more and more vicious."
"However, the profit of the treasures brought by the prince this time is not as high as white sugar!"
Ying Yu smiled and shook his head.
With the continuous skyrocketing of business profits, all the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty have become money fans, and they have no doubts about doing business.
Who let them benefit from the high profits of commerce no matter whether they are public or private!
All the officials looked at each other and smiled.
Sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came with the baby.
As for the profit His Highness said, apart from glass, which product in Daqin can compare with white sugar in terms of profit?
In the eyes of the officials, as long as it is a new product developed by His Royal Highness, there will be huge profits.
Moreover, the effect on Daqin will definitely not be too small.
All the officials looked at Ying Yu expectantly, but Ying Yu just stood there with a smile and didn't intend to open their eyes.
This move immediately made all the officials feel itchy!
"Don't be a fool, you kid, just say it!"
Just when all the officials were anxious, Ying Zheng walked in through the side door.
"My son, isn't this waiting for your father to come over, so we can talk together!"
Ying Yu smiled and opened the package in his hand and said:
"This is the warm clothing that my son asked to tailor for my father. Would you like to try it on and see if it fits you?"
Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses:
"Haha, it's rare for the prince to have such filial piety, so let me give it a try?"
Seeing this, Liu Mo on the side quickly took the package from Ying Yu and passed it to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took it with a smile, and took out the cotton coat inside.
He looked at it fondly for a long time, and showed it to the courtiers ostentatiously.
After the turmoil of the bureaucracy, the Great Qin became more and more harmonious, and the atmosphere in the court was much better.
The Emperor Shi Huang, who had always been majestic before, has also become a lot more easy-going, occasionally talking and joking to liven up the atmosphere, especially when showing off his son.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"As soon as late autumn arrived, His Highness the Crown Prince began tailoring new clothes for His Majesty, which is a good story!"
"His Royal Highness is setting an example, reminding me that the people of Great Qin should not forget filial piety even after they get rich!"
All the civil and military officials praised him one after another, and they all showed a little envy on their faces.
Filial piety of children is still one of the greatest achievements of being a father. Compared with Ying Yu, those bastards in their family, forget it... don't mention it.
There is no comparison at all!
"What kind of material is this clothing made of? It's so comfortable and warm, much better than satin."
Ying Zheng happily accepted the congratulations from all the officials, and with the help of Ying Yu, he put his coat on the outside of the dragon robe, and soon felt a burst of warmth, which relieved the chill in late autumn, and he exclaimed.
"Father, the cotton coat is made of the same cotton that I mentioned to you a while ago!"
"The cotton planted in Tianzhu County is about to be harvested. The cotton cloth made of cotton is comfortable and warm, and filled with some cotton wool inside, which can completely replace the existing winter clothes and become the main clothing for the people of Daqin to keep out the cold in winter. one."
With that said, Ying Yu also took out a ball of cotton and a pair of cotton gloves, and handed them to Ying Zheng.
"Is this cotton?"
"This cotton is somewhat similar to kapok, but it feels much better and has a stronger effect of keeping out the cold."
After Ying Zheng finished feeling the cotton and cotton gloves, he asked Liu Mo to pass them to Feng Quji and others.
Feng Quji, who was old and most afraid of the cold, put on the cotton gloves first, and was shocked by the warmth.
"His Royal Highness, how much is this cotton worth?"
"What about the yield?"
After the shock, Feng Quji asked.
At this time, Daqin's clothes were mainly silk and linen.
Both of them are very effective in keeping warm from the cold, so rich families will try their best to make their clothes thicker, among which the method of kapok has been tried.
But kapok is too scarce, and the price has remained high.
Moreover, it is easy to deform, and it will not take long, which undoubtedly increases the cost again.
"Currently, one piece of clothing like this costs about [-] to [-] yuan. If the Institute of Engineering succeeds in researching the hydraulic and power assembly line workshop, the cost can be reduced to less than [-] yuan!"
"As for the production issue, there is no need to worry about it.
The crown prince has already asked caravans to purchase from all over the world, and now the cotton in stock is enough to make millions of cotton coats. "
"When the cotton in Tianzhu County is harvested on a large scale, it will be able to realize self-production and self-sale."
Hearing that a few are cheap and the output is not a problem, the eyes of all the officials suddenly lit up.
"So good!"
"If there are millions of cotton-padded clothes on the market, the people of Daqin can be more active this winter, and the vendors don't need to worry about no one going shopping in the winter."
Nestern said with a happy face.
Although the appearance of coal stoves made Daqin a lot warmer last winter, it was limited to being at home.
The winter in this era is much colder than that of the later generations. If there are not enough warm clothes, the common people will not dare to go out easily.
When winter comes, it is also the most deserted time in the whole of Daqin, and there are almost no people on the street.
If this was before last year, the impact would not be too great.
But now Daqin's business development is extremely prosperous, and less going out means that consumption is greatly reduced, and the income of traders will be much lower.
The commercial tax, which has become the main source of treasury revenue, will also be greatly affected.
It's getting colder this autumn, and the flow of people in Xianyang New City has been affected recently, and vendors are worried about it.
Nestern is also worried that snow will fall earlier this year, which will greatly affect the New Year, which should be the peak consumption season.
But now with this new cotton padded jacket, it is different.
"If I heard you right, what His Highness the Crown Prince said is that this cotton padded coat is 'one of' the warm clothes for the people of our Great Qin this winter?"
As soon as Meng Yi said this, everyone's eyes turned to Ying Yu.
