409. Open the gate to generate electricity!(1/2)

"Silo!"

Listening to the introduction on Tang He, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then sighed: "I thought it was a small project, but I thought it was such a huge one! Thank you for your hard work!"

"What did I have to work hard?"

Tang Heshang shook his head and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Wang Xuance and all the members of the project department."

As a leader, don’t think about taking all the credits on yourself. You must be generous and know how to give the credits to your subordinates, so that you can gain support!

Obviously, Tang Heshang is familiar with the matter of raising credit.

"His Majesty!"

He smiled and said, "Why don't we go up to the top of the dam and take a look?"

I've come here, so I won't go up and see what I want? Besides, I'm not afraid of heights, I just want to go to the top of a dam to try the condescending feeling!

"Walk!"

His Majesty Li Er threw down a word and walked directly towards the concrete staircase that was about a hundred meters high. Tang He shrugged and followed behind.

The gap of about a hundred meters is only more than one hundred and fifty steps. Although it is not much, it is better than steep.

Even His Majesty Li Er, who was in his prime, and the young and energetic Tang He had to pant. This was still without burdening anything!

If you put yourself in your shoes and think about building such a row of stairs...

His Majesty Li Er felt a little emotional again: "It's not easy for workers, Silang, you can't treat them badly!"

"It's not easy for me!"

Tang He narrowed his eyes and cried and said, "Your Majesty, this hydropower station is much more expensive than a bridge! Look, cut off this tributary and then build such a majestic hydropower station on one side of the Wei River. How much does it cost to do? How much does it cost to do? And how many flood discharge gates, generators, and transformers... Your Majesty, the landlord's family has no surplus food either!"

hehe!

His Majesty Li Er smiled coldly. He was all human spirits. Where can I guess the purpose of this future son-in-law in front of me invite me to visit the scene?

Tell me that the completion is one of them, but I’m afraid there is another purpose to cry for poverty?

His Majesty Li Er glanced at the old eunuch who had taken a step behind him, and only found that the guy was watching his nose and nose at this time. I definitely had reason to suspect that the old eunuch had hooked up with Tang He!

The emperor grinned in an arc and said in a teasing way: "Boy Tang, I think you are planning this!"

"Do you have any plans?"

Tang Heshang smiled very sincerely, "Why don't you know at all?"

"Okay! When did Chang'an God of Wealth do a loss-making business?"

His Majesty Li Er glared at his eyes, "I don't know what little you are in your heart yet! Tell me, how do you want to recover the cost? Oh no, you should be how to make money!"

Sure enough, the one who understands the son-in-law the best is not necessarily the mother-in-law, but also the father-in-law!

Tang Heshang smiled and said shyly: "I am going to charge electricity bills! You think we have to spend money on buying candles. There is no reason to use electric lighting, so it doesn't cost money, right? This thing is much more useful than candles!"

"I just knew you were thinking like this!"

His Majesty Li Er pouted and said with a smile: "Tell me, how are you going to charge?"

"Forget it!"

Tang He stretched out his hand and began to pounce on his fingers: "A good piece of white wax costs fifty coins. If you care about it, you can use it for half a month. Two white waxes per month will cost one hundred coins! Which family does our Tang Dynasty officials and nobles do not need more than ten white waxes per month?

Therefore, I plan to charge according to the number of light bulbs installed in a family, and one light bulb costs ten yuan per month. Then, since it is a bamboo wire bulb, a light bulb can last ten days. I plan to sell a light bulb for ten yuan per month. In this way, it costs only forty yuan per month for an electric light, which is much cheaper than a candle!

Of course, there are also wires. Those things are made of copper. You can weigh them according to the pounds, and you will not make any money according to the price of copper in the market!"

It sounds pretty good!

His Majesty Li Er had a smile on his face at first, but gradually, the smile on his face froze!

Although I am not a master of arithmetic, I can still calculate a few accounts!

First of all, if this electric light is really as stated on Tanghe, the lighting cost is really cheaper than a candle. However, in such a huge Chang'an, there are no 10,000 yuan and 8,000 yuan. If the electric light is to be installed, the entire mansion will definitely be installed. In this way, every family will install ten lights on average! One month is 8,000 times by 10 and then by forty! How much is it?

But if you use white wax, it is nothing more than the room of the head of the family and the children in the family. No one is too luxurious to use white wax for the servants and street lights, right?

After doing this, it is obvious that the lighting cost should increase, right?

Then, the wires are calculated based on the price of copper!

On the Tang River, do you think I don’t know that your wire is just copper inside and fish glue outside?

Finally, this is the only one in Chang'an that provides electricity on Tanghe. How much money do you have to make this month?

At this point, His Majesty Li Er smiled coldly, "Okay! Tang Laosi, have you fooled me again?"

Tang Heshang shook his head, and looked extremely serious, "Your Majesty, you are the wise and powerful emperor. How can I fool you?"

"snort!"

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly, with an expression on his face as if you knew, and continued, "I have done some calculations for you. Eight thousand officials and nobles, how much does it cost to install ten lights in each family in a month?"

Three thousand two hundred stale!

It’s more than 38,000 guan a year!

According to the Emperor's algorithm, Tang He gave the answer in just one second!

Is this answer accurate?

hehe!

Tang He smiled coldly, obviously inaccurate! Old Taishan, you miscalculated the ball! The noble officials are not the biggest consumption power, the biggest consumption power is you!

How big is the palace?

How many lights do each hall need?

There are also street lights!

All the officials!

Your Majesty, you can't let the officials in our Tang Dynasty turn on electricity at home, and you have to illuminate candles at work, right?

In this way, my father-in-law is afraid that it will be about 10,000 yuan per month!

The entire hydropower station cost 600,000 yuan! Including the daily maintenance costs.

Repay for six years and start making profits after six years...

Tang He's mouth grinned in a subtle range without a trace. When it comes to making money, who else can I do this in Chang'an?

The smile was quickly hidden, and a bitter face appeared on Tanghe, "Your Majesty! How can you make money? This power station always has to hire workers? Do you need to train them? Also, the power station always has daily maintenance, right? You are not small, most of the electricity bills collected are used for maintenance! And taxes..."

The bitter face on Tanghe made His Majesty Li Er feel inexplicably relieved, as if he saw a person who only made money but not lost money. How big is it?

"Okay!"

But there was a look of disgust on his face, "I don't care about you if you charge it! As long as you can collect it yourself, it's fine! As for taxation, it's exempt! You can tell that this project is too expensive, so I can't keep asking you to pay for that kind of construction?"

“Infrastructure!”

Tang Heshang answered pitifully.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, "Okay, don't be pitiful, I see everything you do! Walk up the embankment and take me to visit!"

After hearing this, Tang He was already filled with joy, and he couldn't help but put his hand on his back and gestured the word "yeah"!

Father-in-law, everyone in Chang'an is paying electricity bills by then. You may not be able to afford to be faced with arrears?

The old eunuch who took a step behind saw Tang He's small movements. He couldn't help rolling his eyes and thought to himself, Your Majesty, you probably have been fooled by the Japanese again this time!

Of course, I can't tell the emperor about this. First, I really don't want to see the Tang Dynasty owed a child. Second, I am a slave to question the master's wise and magical martial arts?

Come on!

Tang Heshang quickly restrained his excitement and pretended to have a huge loss and took His Majesty Li Er to the embankment.

The roof of the embankment, more than ten feet wide, is full of bushings, which looks like a city wall.

However, the enemy of this city wall is not a thousand troops, but a vast Wei River.

His Majesty Li Er, on the dam, stretched out his head and looked at the outer dam, but suddenly took two steps back. He said seriously: "Where did the wind come from this dam? I feel a little dizzy!"

Tang He, who was beside him, almost laughed. You were not dizzy because of the wind. You were obviously scared by the height of more than 100 meters and your legs were weak!

Of course, these words are definitely not to be said!

Tang Heshang could only smile and introduce His Majesty Li Er's vision into the inner dam!

"Your Majesty, look!"

Tang He said: "Ten steps away is a temporary dam built to block the water flow! Now, explosives have been installed on the dam! I will first blow out two gaps on it, divert water in, wait for the dry season, and then continue to remove it. After the water enters the inner dam, it flows through a hidden gate to the spiral at the waist of the outer dam, so as to turn the generator and start generating electricity.

At the same time, if there is a flood in the Wei River in the future, we can also open the flood discharge gate and introduce part of the water flow into the tributary below the outer dam to reasonably divert and slow down the water situation! This power station can be said to be a flood-generating and fighting force of power to kill two birds with one stone!”

Tanghe took His Majesty Li Er on the dam while walking and introducing every function of the dam.

His Majesty Li Er, Pingping nodded.

Before they knew it, the three of them approached the middle of the dam, where there was an exquisite small pavilion. In the pavilion, several staff members wearing gray work clothes and head helmets were staring at the temporary earth dam more than ten steps away seriously.

His Majesty Li Er looked carefully and saw that there was a person he knew, named Wang Xuance.
