Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

In the restaurant, Shopkeeper Qian strongly agreed with Shopkeeper Chen’s statement.

"Yes, the production line is the way to maximize the use of manpower and material resources."

Shopkeeper Qian believes that anyone who has seen the production of steam engines will definitely think that the production line method is the best choice for the future.

Then the three of them chatted about the steam engine production line together.

"In this way, the production method of soap workshop is actually very similar to that of steam engine production line."

"By the way, Shopkeeper Zhao, do you think antique calligraphy and painting can be mass-produced using a production line? Hahaha!"

Shopkeeper Chen suddenly thought of this question and asked Shopkeeper Zhao with a smile.

Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

If antique calligraphy and painting were mass-produced, how much money would I make?

"Shopkeeper Chen, I think you are confused. If antique calligraphy and painting are produced using a production line, how much can they be sold for?"

"If I really do that, I'm going to drink the northwest wind!"

After Shopkeeper Zhao finished speaking, Shopkeepers Chen and Qian couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, hahaha!"

"Shopkeeper Zhao is right, hahaha!"

Half an hour later, the three of them finished drinking and returned home.

Shopkeeper Qian first wrote to Bai Feng to report the sales status of this batch of steam engines.

While shopkeeper Qian was drinking with shopkeepers Chen and Zhao.

The merchants who were hoarding steam engines were now unable to sit still.

When they purchased the steam engine from Yizhou, they spent more than five hundred taels of silver.

Now if you still sell the steam engine in your hand for more than 500 taels of silver, you can sell it, but you will definitely not be able to sell it for a high price of more than 800 taels of silver.

Six hundred taels of silver may be no problem.

This wave of merchants who were hoarding steam engines and waiting to sell them at high prices really hated the opening of steam engine shops.

But they have no means of counterattack.

Steam engines were very popular in Yecheng as they were in Yizhou, and it was impossible to unite to boycott the sale of steam engines in Yecheng.

"If this steam engine shop opens later, I can still make a lot of money!"

“Now you can’t make any money, and you may even lose money.”

"Now the steam engine shop has a condition that each person can only buy two steam engines at most, otherwise we can buy all the steam engines back, alas!"

The merchants who were discussing countermeasures were all in a bad mood at this time.

"Otherwise, we should sell the current batch of steam engines in our hands before the next batch of steam engines are sold in Yecheng."

"Otherwise, when the next batch of steam engines arrives in Yecheng, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell even 600 taels of steam engines in our hands."

Said a businessman who stocked up on eight steam engines.

He purchased these steam engines at a high price of five hundred and sixty taels each.

Even so, only eight steam engines were purchased from the Yizhou nobles. Most of the Yizhou nobles still adopted a wait-and-see attitude, hoping that the purchase price would rise again.

By selling it at a price between six hundred taels and seven hundred taels, the merchant earned a hard-earned sum of money.

After hearing this, other merchants felt that this was their only choice.

If it is true as that noble man said, next time the steam engine shop sells thirty or fifty steam engines, the steam engines in their hands will not be sold for more than six hundred taels.

Being able to make some money is much better than losing money.

"Then it's settled!"

"The steam engines we sell must not be less than 650 taels, so everyone can still make money."

After deliberation, they reached a consensus.

Shopkeeper Qian had a good sleep. The next day, he learned from Shopkeeper Chen that the steam engines in their hands were being sold by Erdao dealers, and the price was around 650 taels.

"Hahaha, sell the steam engines in your hands quickly. From now on, there will only be one store selling steam engines in Yecheng!"

The happy shopkeeper Qian planned to have a drink tonight.

After solving the problem of second-hand dealers, shopkeeper Qian no longer worries that the profits of the steam engine will be shared by others.

"By the way, this good news should be told to Hanzhong Hou as soon as possible."

Then shopkeeper Qian wrote to Bai Feng again to explain the situation.

At this time, Bai Feng had not received the first letter from shopkeeper Qian about the sales of steam engines.

However, Bai Feng was not worried that the steam engines would not sell well in Yecheng.

First, steam engines were already in short supply in Yecheng.

Secondly, almost all cloth mills in Yizhou have replaced water-powered looms with steam looms.

If the cloth merchants and nobles in Yecheng still use water-powered looms, their share of the cloth market will only become smaller and smaller.

After arranging for shopkeeper Qian to go to Yecheng to sell steam engines, Bai Feng was not idle in Hanzhong.

Whether it is a mine, an R\u0026D center or a nitroglycerin/dynamite workshop, Bai Feng will take the time to check out the output and the production situation.

Over time, the craftsmen who built the railroads mastered the techniques.

Now the construction speed of railways between various cities in Hanzhong has increased significantly.

The railway that could originally be built in one day has now reached a distance of one and a half miles.

If according to the current construction progress, it would take about half a year to connect all cities in Hanzhong with railways.

This speed is acceptable to Bai Feng, and he will recruit a group of craftsmen depending on the situation.

Of course, the premise is that the steel output of the mine can be increased again.

Since the use of steam trains to transport ore and smelted iron ingots, the mine has changed from blasting every ten days to blasting every six days.

Wei Boyang and the others are also constantly improving the methods of blasting operations.

Now when a blast is carried out, the amount of ore produced is 10% higher than at the beginning, and the amount of nitroglycerin/dynamite used is 20% lower.

Bai Feng naturally praised the results achieved by the nitroglycerin/dynamite workshop. The alchemists who had received generous rewards and rewards were also very motivated at work.

After becoming familiar with the properties of nitroglycerin/oil, the frequency of explosions during experiments became less and less.

Now Bai Feng has put the mass production of nitroglycerin/dynamite on the schedule.

As long as control measures are taken to control the use of nitroglycerin/dynamite, Bai Feng believes that the efficiency of the mine can be increased by another 20% on the current basis, and the mine can continue to recruit more miners.

"Although steam trains can only play their role in mines now, this is just the beginning."

In Bai Feng's eyes, this is a small step for industrialization, but it is a big step for all mankind!
