Chapter 500 Ancient Chariot
This situation lasted for more than half a month, with more than 300,000 guan, and only one glass exhibition meeting was held.
Just after the merchants had transported the supplies, they all planned to return and sell all the glass jewelry. If they had the chance, they would come to Youzhou.
Many businessmen went to the Governor's Office to ask when the next glass exhibit meeting will be held before leaving. The time Li De gave to this matter was half a year later.
Although the businessmen were a little disappointed, half a year was really too long for them.
They all want to make money, but what makes them happy is that although the glass exhibition will be held once every six months, the scale of the next time will be several times that of the previous one, and the number of goods on display will increase.
You will not encounter a situation where a businessman has money to buy goods.
This made some merchants discover a chance to gamble. Many people plan to go home and sell the glass products they have in their hands first, and then purchase the workforce.
Li De had long thought that merchants would do this, but if the glass industry wants to ensure sales and prices, it cannot be sold in batches. The market needs to be developed slowly to stabilize.
With this funding, a lot of pressure can be carried out, which can develop the construction of Youzhou City, many commercial facilities and public facilities.
There are also the most important real estate, and selling real estate may not make much money in this era, so Li De's plan is to rent it, which is only a price of two or three hundred yuan a year.
It may not be able to recover the capital of construction in a few years, but talent is the foundation. Even though we know that expanding workshops is to maximize benefits, for population issues, we have to do these investments that cannot see returns.
Fortunately, there are still 5,000 laborers who may be responsible for the main force of construction. These people are those who have been arrested from Zhangshui and have been assigned to work in various places where manpower is needed.
I have mastered some construction experience during this period. The boss’s name is not a complicated matter, as long as there is enough manpower.
It is convenient to do things with money. In less than half a month, He Bida, Shi Huaiyi and others left Youzhou City with 100,000 troops. Their departure did not alarm others.
Luo Yi and Li Jing were responsible for escorting food and grass. Yanyun cavalry protected along the way. When they left Youzhou's territory, they did not encounter any enemies.
The millions of troops in the Sui Kingdom were still gathering, and the more troops the more people needed to transport supplies. For this reason, the guards discussed with the officials of the Ministry of War of the court several times, and finally told them to purchase wheelbarrows.
After two days of negotiation, thousands of brand new wheelbarrows were sold and an additional five thousand were ordered. Not only that, there were also carriages and ox carriages.
The Lu brothers led people to work day and night, and the orders from the imperial military department drove the development of workshops, and a large number of employed workers increased every day, which made the people who helped them earn every day.
The spring plowing has passed, and there is no need to take care of the things in the fields every day. It is enough to take care of them every few days. All the women and children in the family can complete these things.
People who are free can take advantage of this time to work as a helper. Not only can they make money, but they can also learn a craft. Even if they help others get their handicrafts, they will be more expensive.
They all cherish this opportunity and work hard to do things.
All the craftsmen brought out by the Lu brothers are skilled craftsmen, and they are all assembled for making wheelbarrows, and they are extremely strong. How to do it is the secret of the craftsmen.
The layman didn't know either.
In addition, the Lu brothers have also made many strange things, such as Luban locks and Luban stools.
The power of Luban Lock is that it doesn't know how to crack the mechanism and even if the lock is opened, the things inside will be destroyed. This thing has been studied for a long time without any tricks.
The secret technique of the Lu brothers is an untransmitted secret. Li De finally believed through various analysis that this might be related to the addition of certain special substances.
What about white phosphorus? When it comes to air flammability, it doesn’t feel like it, because even if the wooden mechanism is tightly controlled, it can block the air? Anyway, Li De doesn’t believe it. It must have been achieved through some means, but he hasn’t thought of the Force yet.
Li De studied this for a long time and finally gave up. Anyway, with this thing, it will be much more convenient to convey superstition in the future, and he will not be afraid of losing superstition and leaking secrets.
Let’s talk about Luban stools, this is even more amazing. It looks like a folding stool in later generations. I never thought that Luban stools were the originator of Maza stools.
The convenience of travel was equipped with all the soldiers on duty. The continuous orders allowed the workshops responsible for the Lu brothers to develop, and they did all kinds of carpentry work, feeding thousands of people.
Some of them were sold to the left merchants.
Because of this woodworking workshop, the carriage production has never stopped. The Li family's transport team, the vanguard's logistics, the carriages and trucks used for the logistics of the vanguard and the logistics of the vanguard and the horses were all made in the workshop.
If this continues, the existing workshops can be expanded to three to five times in at least three years, allowing thousands of people to work.
Li Shimin has been running to the workshop recently, so he will come to inspect the beautiful things. He is here to find jobs for the idle people at home.
I happened to see Li De here today, and he felt that things could be easier.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
When Li Shimin came over, he happened to see Li De working with the craftsmen.
"We are studying the enemy's new weapons." Li Dedao.
Li Shimin became interested. What is the best study of a carriage? He not only observed it but also helped dismantle it.
"The proportion is wrong, but it should be almost the same. We will improve it a little." Li De said the request. The Lu brothers took action personally. If the second assembly failed, they could only make the third improvement.
Cheng Zhijie and You Junda were placing on the side to the drawings on the table, even though they saw the things used by the Turks when they were fighting with Yuchi Jingde.
A new type of chariot is driven by a horse, and a body of iron is embedded around the body, like a mace. These opportunities will cause serious damage to the surrounding objects after the carriage tells the carriage to run.
It is simply a weapon to restrain infantry and cavalry.
As long as the scale is formed, it is impossible to avoid the movement speed of the infantry. Whether it is hit by a double horse or injured by a car body and weapons on it, it is fatal.
Li De drew the drawings according to the information oral of the two, but the production of chariots in ancient times required technology, so it took several days to restore and assemble them but were not successful.
In the end, Li De asked the Lu brothers to transform according to their subjective subjectiveness, but there were some minor problems during assembly. When Li Shimin saw it carefully, he unknowingly took a few people to make a wooden car.
"It finally succeeded." Lu Mingyue said.
