Chapter 1119 Kerosene Lamps
Li De discovered that the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions meant him not only the value of commerce, but also the future situation on the Niya River, especially when he received wind and sand attacks, he would inevitably become a ruin.
Most of the 36 countries in the Western Regions have a large population. These are the total populations of small countries. People cannot watch them buried in the desert.
Li De's idea of migrating their people to Youzhou came to life. The adventurers brought many Gentiles this time, which was a good start.
Li De called the officials to discuss this matter, thinking about bringing more people back next time he traded, and also asked those living in Youzhou to return to help promote.
All the people in the city guards were discussing the trade routes opened by adventurers, while adventurers were enjoying the consumption.
The three caravans made a lot this time, but the time span was a bit large. From a capital perspective, they made money. As for the guards, they didn't make much money, which was a good income in Youzhou, but their income was not stable.
The car sales store in Youzhou City has welcomed several merchants to inquire in the past two days, and the sales trend of the new lightweight car price of 50,000 yuan has increased slightly.
Several businessmen have placed an order after experiencing it.
The car cost 50,000 yuan, and a custom external trailer was also customized in the automobile company. A two-meter tug can hold a lot of things in a light car.
Merchants have learned about it. Basically, each car is equipped with external pendants. External buckets of different specifications are purchased according to the model, which also needs to be matched with the kerosene engine.
As urban cars in Youzhou gradually increased, supporting traffic management was strictly enforced.
Many adventurers are very good at driving a car businessman. They also want to have such transportation tools, but the price is beyond their reach.
Finally, I still thought about working hard.
Three caravans had tens of thousands of people, and finally made No. 100 merchants get rich. After the adventurers returned, they sold more than 80 cars, most of which were purchased by merchants who participated in the Western Regions doing business.
Such data can show that only large businessmen can make big money by investing, and adventurers who are guards can only make relatively wealthy.
The business paths in the Western Regions really attracted the people's entrepreneurial impulse this time, but they are not fools. They have inquiries about how much the merchants who follow them can earn.
If you are penniless and want to make some money, it is still OK. If you want to work in this industry for a long time, it is difficult to get rich.
After returning to Youzhou, adventurers also discovered changes in their lives. In the past, the hall was not very bright except for the lanterns at the doors of some merchants' mansions. Although there was no curfew in Youzhou, no one came out until the evening.
This is how the lives of the people are. What do you do when you go to the streets in darkness at night?
But this time the adventurers found that many of the people in Youzhou's homes were shining at night.
After inquiring, I found out that it is a new type of lighting fixture. It can be illuminated by cotton thread and kerosene. The light source is stable and can be used on the caravan to illuminate it suitable for caravans to rush to the night.
After the kerosene lamp is produced, it will be much more convenient for the people to stay away from the night, so there is a light that will not be smeared.
With lighting in the shops on the street, they can naturally reflect on the street. When the shops light kerosene lamps, there will be no darkness on the street.
There are many people walking around at night, and many people who set up stalls can use kerosene lamps to light them for more time after they come out.
When it gets dark, there is also a illumination light, so it won’t be stumbling when walking.
Kerosene lamps are of high value because they use transparent glass as lampshades. However, the price of kerosene lamps in Youzhou is relatively reliable. The kerosene lamps produced are all numbered to prevent someone from selling the lampshades. The Chengshoufu has issued a decree that does not allow the sale of lampshades privately.
Therefore, kerosene lamps are not considered as the price of transparent glass, but the price is more expensive than kerosene. As long as you save some money, it will not cost much money, so every household has the ability to purchase them.
This leads to the production of kerosene lamps not keeping up with demand, and the products produced every day will be sold out.
After the Blacksmith Workshop started this business, it really made a lot of money, and there were a large number of lampshade orders in the Glass Workshop.
This also puts forward technical tests for the glass workshop, and practice makes perfect laying the foundation for the future production of various glassware.
Adventurers found that kerosene lamps would be a high-profit commodity they would trade next time, and they wanted to sell kerosene lamps to the Western Regions, and there were also essential kerosene.
Youzhou has a lot of kerosene reserves, and he has attached great importance to it since he established the Refining Workshop City Palace. In particular, Li De was very concerned about kerosene, but in fact he was more concerned about oil.
Its by-products are all treasures, but the output is not increased, otherwise the road construction will be directly used to asphalt, and the road will last for decades.
However, oil extraction is very difficult. At present, the oil used in Youzhou comes from the near Penglai City. The amount of oil is not large. It is done by manual excavation. The main refining workshop is also built in Penglai.
At present, all the resources refined are mainly stored, and there is not so much demand yet.
Adventurers directly purchase kerosene from the City Guardian. The purpose is to approve it after approval. The caravans can load it with the caravan when they go to the Western Regions. During this period, the kerosene cargo needs to be stored in the warehouse.
In addition, they have also customized a large number of stove products modified by kerosene blowtorch. The outdoor cooking utensils made of kerosene blowtorch are thickened and the stove mouth is used for windproof treatment, etc.
After the adventurers' experiments made them very satisfied, it was surprising that the Blacksmith Workshop added another order.
The products of water capsules sold in the market are sold very well, so good that they need to be made immediately if they survive and sell them all.
After seeing the increase in the demand for water capsules, Li De found that adventurers had a very high demand for water capsules.
Li De thought about it and found that business was everywhere. Since the demand for water bags is so high, just ask the workshop to make more water bags with a load-type water bags, which not only increases the amount of water you carry, but also makes it more convenient.
Carrying water bags can be regarded as an indispensable equipment for hiking. They can be replenished anytime and anywhere, and avoid losing water bag materials in harsh environments such as wind and sand.
After being inspired by Li De's creative ideas, the workshop immediately started designing and production. After the load-bearing water bag was made, it received a large number of orders.
The orders of the Water Bag Workshop are enough to expand the scale of the workshop several times.
After seeing the interests, merchants began to devote themselves to it. Many leather workshops made many leather items for desert environments, such as shoes that prevented the sand from flowing back, and closed leather bags specially used for resting on the spot.
