Chapter 388: Industrial Product Frenzy at the End of the Warring States Period
East of Fengshui River, breeding base.

Chen Ran entered the base and opened the panel to arrange the breeding and training plan for the next year.

Previous crop breeding mainly focused on high-yield grains such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. The main purpose was to increase grain production and fill the stomachs of the people.

In Chen Ran’s opinion, people can die in any way except starvation!
Starvation to death is never a natural disaster, it must be a man-made disaster!
This time, the breeding arrangements will mainly focus on economic crops, especially agricultural crops that can be used as raw materials.

Such as various spice seeds, glutinous rice, wheat, sorghum, etc. that can be used to make vinegar and soy sauce.

These agricultural raw materials can be sent to daily necessities manufacturers to produce condiments such as soy sauce and vinegar.

Not only can it enrich the dining table, but it can also serve as an export product to continue to enhance the influence of Qin currency.

Of course, the quality of the system's products can be absolutely guaranteed.

When soybeans are sent in, the soybean oil that comes out will definitely not have any impurities, and it is even more impossible for it to be mixed with other things.

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is a disregard for life.

Of course, there is also the all-important chili pepper!
Among the taste stimulations that humans can feel, spicy taste is the most appetite-stimulating.

It is also rich in various vitamins and is a very good vegetable.

Of course, you have to choose the varieties carefully, and don’t plant those that are too spicy.

There are so many choices, such as green pepper, rice pepper, red pepper, chili pepper, etc.

However, you can only eat a maximum of ten kinds of fruits and vegetables a year, so you still have to choose carefully.

As for livestock, horses were chosen this year as expected.

There are three major categories of horses based on their use.

We already have pack horses and draft horses, now all we need are riding horses.

The Qin military has been pestering him for too long. If they don't give him horses to ride on, these generals will sit at his door and cry every day.

Unlike the Shire and Belgian horses before them, the choice of riding horse is quite simple.

Chen Ran opened the control panel and didn't even pay attention to the hundreds of options. He just typed in the search bar.

'Blood horse'!
That’s right, as people from Middle-earth, when choosing a horse to ride, of course the first choice is the Ferghana horse, it is so famous.

Next year, 10,000 Arabian horses will be slaughtered. Dumas and the mares will be sent to pastures to expand the population. In this way, in a few years, they will have a terrifying cavalry corps.

By then, the Huns will have no way to escape.

The reason why we are always busy breeding horses is that it takes time to expand the horse herd.

What the breeding base releases every year are seeds, which are not for direct use.

Ten thousand horses may seem like a lot, but if they were actually used, they would not be enough at all. After all, the Qin State was not a small city-state in Europe that could boast about its hundreds of cavalrymen and call itself an army.

The Qin State used horses in many places, and the demand exploded after it unified the country.

Therefore, breeding should be carried out in advance and arrangements should be made to expand the horse herd. This is called making preparations in advance.

As for consumer livestock such as white-feather chickens and Northeast Min pigs, they can be postponed.

How does that sentence go, "Let the people suffer first~~~ (┬＿┬)"

The factory of the daily necessities joint enterprise was located near Lantian County.

There is no other way. This thing occupies too much space and has countless production plants of various types inside, so it can only be placed on a large flat ground.

The factory provided by the system is a production facility. It is impossible to manufacture goods out of thin air and raw materials need to be provided.

The first is petroleum raw materials.

The Qin State really tried hard to build railways, but they had too many major projects, including the Zhengguo Canal, Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, and so on.

Human resources are not unlimited, so we have not yet been able to build a railway to the oil fields in the north.

Petroleum raw materials can only be delivered in cartloads by horse-drawn carriages.

Looking at the tall Shire horses pulling the carriage, Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction, "This is much better than using humans to pull it."

The steel plant produced a large number of oil barrels. A carriage with steel structure support, especially iron wheels, could carry dozens of barrels, which were of course fixed with ropes.

After these raw materials were delivered to the factory, Chen Ran immediately entered the factory, opened the production panel and began to select products.

His first choice was to use petroleum to produce synthetic rubber, and then use the synthetic rubber to produce rubber tires.

Of course, they are not the wide tires used for cars, but those used for horse-drawn carriages and carts, which are probably only as wide as a palm.

Compared with previous wooden or iron wheels, wheels covered with rubber tires have greatly improved wear resistance.

The wear rate of wooden and iron wheels was too high, and it also affected the overall structure of the cart.

After replacing rubber tires, the wear rate, pass rate and even the vehicle's loading capacity have all been qualitatively improved.

In particular, Chen Ran's steel plant produces chassis, spring steel, bearings and other steel products, which have upgraded the original trucks that had no steering mechanism or even could only run on two wheels into four-wheel heavy-duty trucks with steering structure.

As soon as these new vehicles were put into use, they immediately received rave reviews.

The carrying capacity at various construction sites has also been greatly improved.

After improving the means of transportation, Chen Ran took his men to look for quartz sand mines everywhere.

The so-called quartz sand is actually sand.

This is a silicate mineral. Ordinary quartz sand is abundant in nature and often appears in rivers and on shores.

Of course, there are more at the seaside. In theory, these natural quartz sand ores need to go through processes such as crushing, washing, drying, secondary screening, etc. before they can become very suitable raw materials.

However, the fully automated system factory packages all these tasks into one package. You only need to provide the raw material ore, and the factory can handle the subsequent refining work by itself.

After investing these ores, Chen Ran began to select glass products on the panel.

The first product to be produced was naturally civilian window glass.

Compared with traditional window paper, the biggest advantage of window glass is that it allows for greater lighting.

In ancient times, rooms were relatively dim even during the day.

Rich families could light lamps and candles, or even drill holes in the roof and use mica polished to transparency as light sources.

As for ordinary people, it is dark every day.

Fortunately, after Chen Ran launched cheap kerosene, the nightlife of ordinary people in Qin State gradually became brighter.

After glass windows replace window paper, the lighting capacity will be greatly improved.

There is no doubt that this is a product with extremely high consumption.

Not only Qin, but all the countries in Kanto will like this product very much.

Chen Ran also transported the produced glass to the steel mill as semi-industrial raw materials, and then produced windproof glass kerosene lamps.

This was definitely a groundbreaking product, and the first palace to use it was the Xianyang Palace.

The Xianyang Palace is hung with windproof glass kerosene lamps, and it looks like a fairy palace every night with bright lights.

The envoys of various countries were greatly shocked and persuaded their monarchs to borrow Qin currency to purchase it.

Having lights at night not only enriches nightlife, but also improves production efficiency.

In the past, there was nothing to do at night except sleeping.

But now with kerosene lamps, women can continue to weave, men can continue to do handicrafts, and so on.

Production efficiency has naturally been improved.

In addition, there are various glass products such as glass water cups, glass wine jugs, etc.

Previously, the price of colored glaze was very high and could only be obtained occasionally by alchemists. But almost overnight, its price was reduced to a very low level, and ordinary people could afford it.

There is no doubt that this has set off a wave of consumption frenzy.

The countries in Kanto had no pressure on consumption at all because they were accustomed to borrowing money from Qin and then buying Qin's products.

Anyway, the money is borrowed, so the worst that can happen is that I can just default on it.

As for Qin's armed debt collection, it sounds as if if the money is paid back, Qin's fierce army will not attack.

The result of this was that Qin coins became widely circulated in countries around the world.

Compared with the Qin coins that could buy all kinds of good things and various real industrial products, the currencies of various countries depreciated rapidly and were even forced to withdraw from the market.

After all, Qin's goods can only be purchased with Qin currency, so the value of other countries' currencies naturally plummeted and became almost useless.

When the economies of all countries were completely controlled by the Qin currency.
"It's not enough now."

In Chen Ran's opinion, the economic dependence of various countries on Qin is not enough, and they have to continue to increase their chips.

"Dumping, continue to increase the dumping efforts!"

Among petroleum products, the output of chemical fiber fabrics is difficult to match by current hand-woven textiles.

When massive amounts of almost inexhaustible chemical fiber fabrics at shockingly low prices flooded into the market, the textile industries of various countries were almost devastated.

That is, Chen Ran proposed to purchase large quantities of mulberry, hemp and other products from various countries, otherwise the bankrupt farmers would inevitably cause a huge wave.

For Chen Ran, these mulberry and hemp products all fall into the category of raw materials.

Chemical fiber cloth belongs to clothing, rubber tires and steel carriages belong to transportation, glass windows and glass products belong to housing, and the only thing left among the three categories of food, clothing, housing and transportation is food.

The food culture at the end of the Warring States period can only be described as having no culture, it was simply about filling the stomach.

Chen Ran wanted to change this situation, so the first thing he did was to introduce the iron pot.

Iron pots are not rare in Middle-earth, but the problem is that the iron pots produced by steel mills are coated with a diaphragm layer.

In other words, it is not only non-stick to the pan, but also difficult to be oxidized and rusted.

With this technical barrier, once a large number of iron pots began to be supplied, they immediately wiped out the original iron pot industries in various countries.

There is no way, oxidation and rust are the biggest enemies of iron pans.

The iron pot was just the beginning. Chen Ran continued to launch a large number of food-related industrial products.

Such as iron shovels, iron knives, glass tableware, chemical cleaning products, plastic packaging boxes and barrels, etc.

These complete sets of kitchen utensils are very popular.

Next, use glass bottles to add seasonings such as soy sauce, vinegar, cooking oil, etc.

Especially after the introduction of chili pepper, it has a huge impact on the taste of food.

More and more people are keen on using the products launched by the Qin State, and some even take the initiative to come to Qin State to live.

And this is the overwhelming advantage of the industrial age over the handicraft age!
