Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Also, what did the soldier say about bombing... what does it mean?

When everyone was stupefied, a businessman couldn't help his curiosity and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Zhen, what is the meaning of that mountain...?"

Everyone nodded and quickly looked at Li Yang.

"Hahaha!"

Li Yang laughed three times, and said: "To be honest, the reason why the mountain collapsed and collapsed by one person is actually caused by explosives!"

"Dynamite?" Everyone was surprised.

Li Yang nodded: "That's right, explosives."

Then, he waved his hand, and then someone presented something.

This thing is like a package.

However, the sharp-eyed person remembered at a glance that the previous soldier carried such a thing to the cliff, and then there was a loud noise from the cliff, the earth shook and the mountain shook, and the whole rocky mountain just Cracked and collapsed.

At this time, Li Yang pointed to the package in the hands of the soldiers, and said: "This thing is the explosive package developed by my Daqin General Zuofu!"

"Bombs of explosives?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all of them were surprised.

Because, this thing looks like a bag of cotton cloth, it is hard to imagine that it can blow down a rocky mountain.

At this time, a businessman said: "I've heard about this thing. My brother is in Jiangzuofu. I heard that it is made of gunpowder. It is extremely powerful. If you are not careful, you can blow up people to death. It turns out that it is real."

"Oh?" Everyone was surprised when they heard the businessman's words.

"Hahaha!"

Li Yang laughed three times and said: "You are right. This thing is indeed made of gunpowder. However, its power is so powerful that it can not only blow people to death. You have also seen it with your own eyes before. But it can open mountains and crack rocks."

"It turns out that gunpowder in the world has such a powerful power!" All the businessmen were shocked when they heard this.

Gunpowder, they naturally know, because Daqin's fireworks and firecrackers have been selling well for a year, but they never dreamed that a small pack of gunpowder could actually collapse a mountain. people's expectations.

Li Yangdao: "Today, my lord has let everyone see the power of this thing. I have decided to widely apply explosives to the canal project. I think it will greatly save manpower and speed up the efficiency of the project!"

"This... is really great!" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.

If such a powerful explosive can be used to build the canal, it will be like a miracle.

The main difficulty in building a canal is to dig mountains and crush rocks, and this explosive can easily solve this problem, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce labor costs and improve project efficiency.

Thinking of this, everyone was surprised and applauded.

Yes, the reason why Li Yang brought everyone to this wilderness today is to let them see the power of explosives, and let these businessmen understand that when explosives can be widely used in projects, the labor cost of the canal project can be reduced. It will be greatly reduced, so that their psychological price for project bidding will naturally be lowered.

It's a joke, a pack of explosives can cost thousands of man-hours, so the price of this project can naturally be greatly reduced.

"Okay, the foreplay is over, the bidding for the canal project, let's start now!"

After saying that, Li Yang handed over the bidding for the canal project to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

He Zhang first announced the plan for the canal to be completed in three phases, and at the same time reported the total bidding price of the three phases, which happened to be the final bidding price of the Great Wall project.

What does that mean?

That is to say, the bid price for the canal project will not be higher than the final bid price for the Great Wall project.

Because these merchants still have to conduct bidding on the basis of this bidding price, that is, continue to push down the price.Unless... no one bids.

Of course, if there were no explosives, no one would be interested in the bidding price quoted by He Zhang for these businessmen below.

but……

Now that they have all seen the power of explosives, if a large amount of explosives can be applied to the project, then the current bidding price will obviously still be profitable.

Ever since, as Li Yang expected, the bidding for the whole project proceeded very smoothly...

The project is divided into three phases, and each phase is divided into multiple bidding sections. Under the supervision of the two departments of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, the bidding work for the entire canal was actually completed very quickly.

As soon as the bidding conference was concluded, the Ministry of Finance began to add up the bidding prices of the multiple bidding sections of the three phases of the canal, and the results were quickly calculated. The total bidding price of the entire canal project was less than [-]% of that of the Great Wall project.

As soon as the results came out, He Zhang, Ji Kai and the others applauded happily.

At the same time, I admire Li Yang's resourcefulness.

To tell the truth, when Li Yang asked them to set the bidding price as the final bidding price of the Great Wall project, He Zhang and Ji Kai, like the ministers of the DPRK and China, were not optimistic.

But... who would have thought that Mr. Zhen would think of applying explosives to the canal project?

Especially He Zhang, who shook his head and smiled wryly afterwards, lamenting how stupid he was.

Because of the research and development of explosives, he participated all the way, but...he only regarded explosives as being used to hurt the enemy on the battlefield, and never thought that it could be used in engineering from the beginning to the end.

This made him feel that he was smarter and wiser than Li Yang, and he was simply far behind!

Chapter 353

At the same time, Qilin Hall.

Fusu and all the officials gathered in the Qilin Hall to wait for the results of the canal bidding.

Fusu was still a little unhappy that Li Yang had moved the location of the bidding conference outside Xianyang City, so that he couldn't know the progress of the bidding conference immediately, so he could only wait in the hall.

Of course, Fusu was still looking forward to the results of the bidding.

Firstly, he really wanted to see what Li Yang would do so that the bid price for the canal project would not be higher than the bid price for the Great Wall project.

Secondly, this guy had nothing to do, and felt that the bet between Li Yang and Baiguan was not exciting enough, so he actually made himself a banker, betting that the bid price for the canal project would not be higher than the bid price for the Great Wall project.

Originally, Baiguan didn't want to gamble with him, after all, winning the eldest son's money is meaningless.

However, this guy raised the odds to [-] to [-], so all officials bet one after another.

Let's put it this way, if Li Yang fails to bid for the canal at a price lower than that of the Great Wall project this time, Fusu will lose so much that he has to sell his Prince's Mansion.

He had already thought about it, if he really lost money, he would move to Li Yang's mansion to live temporarily.

It has to be said that this guy is desperate to gamble.

However, he firmly believed in Li Yang's ability to succeed.Because no matter what difficulties in the world, Li Yang can solve them unexpectedly.

Waiting is very boring.
