Chapter 332: Qin's behavior, food.

Just when the Qin Army took military action against Yueshi on a large scale. New changes have also begun to take place in Qin.

All these changes are seen by one person. This is Han Fei who first accepted the enlightenment thought.

The changes in Qin can almost reach the point where it changes with each passing day. With these changes, even Han Fei himself could not explain what was going on. And what he does every day is to read and accept the enlightenment ideas of those vernacular Chinese, and then go out to see the changes that have taken place in Qin.

Qin State has more and more carriages and horses. Qin’s Xianyang Ling felt a headache for this. Even if a large number of escorts are used as traffic police, this can only maintain basic traffic order. The traffic situation in Qin State is still very heavy.

The first is the emergence of a large number of carts and horses. There are a large number of carts and horses in the city. This is the place with the most complicated traffic. Every day, Xianyang Ling must send a large number of people to keep walking.

Facing the proliferation of carriages and horses, a new type of transportation is becoming popular among civilians. This is the bicycle. The appearance of iron frame bicycles makes people's travel more convenient.

People find that bicycles are faster than walking and can carry a lot of weight. This is very practical for people. A lot of demand has given birth to many bicycle shops. And Xi Lao is undoubtedly the leader in bicycles. When others scramble to imitate. His bicycle shop has established a bicycle factory. This is due to Shangwen's loan.

The bicycle factory with funds invested a lot of new machinery and equipment. A large number of bicycle parts can be produced quickly through mechanization. Xi Lao also uses its own "Xi" as its own brand. At this moment, Xi brand bicycles sold well in Xianyang, and began to develop toward the surrounding reflection. Xi Lao's previous order for a batch of 3,000 bicycles from Qin Jun was also completed ahead of schedule.

on the other hand. A large number of novel pasta began to appear in Xianyang. These noodles are all from the promotion of Princess Wenyang and the operation of commodity futures. A large amount of scattered wheat began to be concentrated in the warehouse in Xianyang, and then delivery began according to the transaction price formed on the last trading day.

mill. In particular, a mechanical mill driven by a steam engine appeared, and food began to become more diversified. Wheat can be made into flour. Flour can be made into various shapes. The ingenious woman began to carefully wonder what the flour could do. So they began to make tricks. The first thing that appeared was noodles. Cooking is undoubtedly the thing people want to know the most. They started cooking in one piece, but found that the effect was not good, so they started to try small pieces of cooking, and gradually they began to become noodles. Then the four neighbors began to spread this method. Some women who wanted to fill their families started selling this kind of food, so noodles became a new kind of food in Xianyang. But the condiments in this period are still very limited. The food doesn't look good, so some people start to wonder how it looks good.

The civilians of Qin State began to use fatty oils because of the large amount of places in Qin State that supplied these things. Therefore, people put the noodles in boiling fatty oil, then remove them, and pass the water. They found that the noodles have a very good color and taste and are easy to preserve. As a result, this kind of fried noodles began to spread in large quantities. This kind of noodles can be said to be the early instant noodles, but people prefer to call them fried noodles.

Noodles are just one aspect. Princess Wenyang's cake became a luxury item in the food of Qin State. Because the cake needs a lot of sweetness. And ordinary people simply can't afford it. So they began to think about a more popular food, and pie became the first popular food. Before the Qin State, the cakes were all made from mashed corn. Very difficult to swallow. And the emergence of noodles. Especially after adding a certain amount of salt, after roasting. The taste is very good. So the bread began to spread on a large scale.

However, the noodles are still a bit dry. People need a soft food, especially for the elderly. So people began to learn how to get the source of soft food, they drew nutrients from Princess Wenyang's cake again. Ferment. They began to put the reconciled noodles specially by the fire for fermentation. But after fermentation, people found that the noodles were sour and the food made was very unpalatable. People had to explore again. This time they encountered a bottleneck. Because alkali noodles are very important military materials. They can't get it on their own. So some people started to give up. But some people started to try to extract soda noodles by themselves.

The widespread popularity of pasta, especially the deliciousness of various foods, has led to an increasing demand for wheat. The stocks of wheat in all parts of Qin have fallen sharply. As a result, the State of Qin began to import large quantities of wheat from the six countries. Due to technical blockade. The Six Nations had no idea that Qin State had already begun food innovation.

But imports still cannot solve the problem. So people began to shift their food production in the coming year.

On the land, the land system of the Qin State has undergone earth-shaking changes. First, a large number of farmers have begun to give up their land, or use the money earned from working in factories to pay off their debts. As Qin State continuously promulgated new laws and regulations, compound interest is not allowed. Therefore, the contracts of those landlords who gave usury began to lapse on a large scale, but in order to protect their interests, Shangwen required them to quickly sort out all their debts within a month, and these debts could only charge the principal and part of the interest. If you find compound interest calculations. Ten times, a hundred times the punishment, under the high efficiency of the Qin government departments. Everyone started to liquidate their debts. In this way, the burden on the peasants suddenly becomes lighter. Going to the city to become workers became their first choice. Those factory owners are also very happy.

However, a large amount of land began to be deserted, but some people saw business opportunities and began to purchase a large amount of land. In order to provide them with convenience, Yingyu's Wenyang Bank began to actively provide them with a large amount of funds to help them purchase.

The land gradually began to concentrate in a few people. Qin’s agricultural laws have not been repealed. If the land becomes barren, then the owner of the land is guilty. In order to keep the land from being deserted, they began to use new methods of operation. It is impossible to provide them with a large amount of manpower, and it is already very difficult to be able to hire those people. So they began to adopt a large number of livestock, but in this way, labor tools must undergo large-scale innovation. So they began to invest in large-scale tool innovations to adapt to large areas of land planting, and at the same time some of them began to shift their targets. They found that wheat became a short-selling item, so wheat began to enter the era of mass popularization.
