Chapter 871: Prosperity

All plate armors in the army are customized, and there will be special people to measure the height of the recruits and then send them back to the workshop.

At this time, the Zhenguo Mansion was finally completed. Although it was early winter, when the bell sounded at the hour of Mao, the lights of thousands of families here were lit. On the wide cement road, under the bell tower, the flow of people was weaving. The workers were most punctual. Now the workshop has excellent benefits. At least the industry of the crane cart was built. Therefore, although for craftsmen and apprentices, labor is certainly laborious, but it is worth it.

Compared to the tenant farmer in the countryside, or even ordinary small farmers with dozens of acres of land, the treatment here is obviously much better, and the monthly salary is not owed to credit. If a good craftsman is, he will get seven or eight taels of silver. In this era when silver is not yet flooded, seven or eight taels of silver is enough to buy half acre of land, while the apprentice is less, but only three taels of silver, but it is also satisfying.

Most of them wore short-dressed work clothes distributed in workshops. They got up at the Mao hour and started working at the Chen hour. Because the demand for car shops increased greatly, the sales of crane cars continued to rise. Even their business was no longer limited to the capital, but radiated to various prefectures and counties, and even the orders were still numerous. The daily production volume was as high as more than 100 vehicles, and almost all sold out during the sale. It is said that the crane car in the capital of 388 taels per vehicle can be sold in Jiangnan, and the price of this crane car can be sold for more than 500 taels, which is purely huge profit.

In this situation of supply and demand, the Chefang started construction almost day and night, and it has begun to develop new types of vehicles. The research institute took the lead. In addition to improving the performance and comfort of the crane car, it also planned to launch a relatively cheap civilian car with a price of less than 80 taels. The new cheap car workshop has also begun to be built and will be completed by the beginning of next year. In addition, their more important task is to develop heavy-load vehicles.

This is the work that Ye Chunqiu personally took charge of. The load-carrying vehicles are the top priority. It can not only give the chefang a lot of benefits, but most importantly, it can improve transportation capacity.

Transportation is like the blood of a society. The transportation of goods is the fundamental basis for everything, just like the raw materials purchased by workshops, or even stones that are not worth a penny. However, when entering the workshop, the price remains high. The fundamental cost may not necessarily lie in the value of quarry and the stone itself, but in the transportation link, hundreds of kilograms of stones need to be transported by carriages and horses. However, the roads in this era are rugged and difficult to drive. A coachman is driving a carriage, even if it is a hundred miles away, it will take several days. The food and consumption along the way, as well as the forage costs of mules and horses, are expensive.

So, if the same horse could only pull a hundred kilograms, but now it can pull a three hundred kilograms or even five hundred kilograms?

This means that costs will plummet sharply. Not only will the workshops everywhere benefit, but local tyrants who provide raw materials can get a share of the pie, and even those coachmen can make a profit.

In the future, the number of raw materials required by various workshops is increasing. If the transportation capacity can be increased, there is no need to worry about insufficient transportation of materials in the future. This is true for the purchase of raw materials and the trafficking of goods. The main function of the canal in the Ming Dynasty is the canal. Ordinary merchants are not qualified to take this waterway. The trafficking of goods is mainly carried by land. If a truckload of goods is delivered to other places, such as crystal or silk, it is also a truckload of goods, one is a hundred kilograms and the other is three to five hundred kilograms. I don’t know how much the transportation cost has dropped.

In this way, there are two situations that inevitably lead to: one is that when a merchant traffics goods, the cost will be reduced and he can make more profits. Since he can make money, it will naturally attract more merchants to flock to it; and the other advantage is that the price after the goods are sold. If the price of crystals that were originally sold for three taels of silver fell to two taels in Jiangnan, then Xiaofu Home, which was originally unable to consume crystals, can also be purchased at this time.

The more goods are sold, the greater the demand for production. The workshop will inevitably need to expand, and more people will be included in this system. This means that more craftsmen and more apprentices are needed, which means that the Zhenguo Mansion is becoming more and more prosperous.

Regarding the load load of a vehicle, Ye Chunqiu naturally puts effort into two aspects. One is to reduce the resistance of the vehicle, which has been verified in the crane car. Using smoother steel wheels and ball shafts can minimize this resistance. On the other hand, it is the load capacity, which requires more effort to put on the chassis. The chassis of the crane car focuses on comfort, so the research institute should try its best to improve the structure and create a chassis with a larger load.

Ye Chunqiu is now running at the Zhenguoxin Military Camp and Zhenguo Mansion.

Today is completely different. The palace already has an order, and Your Majesty will bring his ministers to the State Government to avoid the cold.

Obviously... this is a routine.

It was just that Zhu Houzhao wanted to come out for a walk, but she had no name. Now, taking advantage of Liu Jian and others' rush to let Wang Hua enter the cabinet, he made unreasonable requests.

Don't agree, right? Then just waste it slowly. As long as the order is not delivered, what should you do?

Zhu Houzhao not only knows military affairs, but his intelligence lies in that he can always find countless ways to bargain with people. Everything can become his bargaining chips, and all kinds of means are becoming increasingly scattered.

There was no movement in the cabinet, and it was neither supported nor opposed.

However, it is said that some censors are already ready to go.

This is understandable. Since Ye Chunqiu offended Liu Yu, as the leader of the censor, Liu Yu has countless censors who want to vent their anger on their Shangguan. After all, if you find some minor problems to curse Ye Shixue, others may not be serious with you, but they can always fall in love with Shangguan’s preferences.

Because this time it was an emperor's parade and he had to stay in Zhenguo Mansion for two days, many ministers wanted to accompany him. This matter was extraordinary, so a lot of criticism began to spread.

Ye Chunqiu got some news from Qian Qian, which was nothing more than this time when his father-in-law entered the cabinet. The two most powerful competitors who had put all their efforts into the cabinet were defeated. When the news of Wang Hua's entry into the cabinet came out, everyone came back and forth. I'm going, you, Ye Chunqiu, were fooled by you.

Although everyone was very annoyed, they couldn't tell Ye Chunqiu what to do, and the holy family was just rising.

However, Qian Qian was also aware of the matter. He still showed a worried look on his face and said, "Now many people are waiting to pick up their uncle's thorn."

Ye Chunqiu felt uncomfortable when he heard his uncle: "Call Chunqiu."

Qian Qian shook his head seriously and said, "No, rules are rules, you have to talk about seniority."
