It’s not that you can use the materials as soon as possible. In fact, it depends on what product it is. For example, Martin boots are sold at high prices at this stage to earn the greatest profit.

Many businessmen started the Martin boots business, and the profit of selling shoes to a pair of shoes by a wealthy family was expanded to dozens of times.

The leather shoes produced in Youzhou are very famous, and now it is more practical to add this kind of shoes.

Rich people are not short of hundreds of trump cards at all.

Many wealthy families in Chang'an and Luoyang want to get it, but the name of rubber shoes is so famous.

Li De handed over the marketing method of Hungry to Wei Li, but the supply itself was not very good, which made this model popular.

In fact, the number of shoes produced by the workshop is really not good, and craftsmen don’t have that much time to make shoes.

However, with the addition of rubber soles, many handmade shoemakers carry out private customization, which is even more expensive than Martin boots.

Of course, this kind of hand-made customization service is equipped with the shoemakers in Youzhou, because they are also craftsmen hired by Youzhou City Guardian.

The shoes produced in the workshop were snatched by wealthy businessmen in Youzhou for a total of the shoes, and the number of them sold by merchants to Chang'an and other places was very small.

Because of this, the price of Martin boots in many state capitals has increased many times, but unfortunately there is no product and no one can do it.

Looking at the people who bought shoes in Youzhou City were all very proud, because the rare things made everyone feel very proud.

Many wealthy businessmen have not obtained it all spend a high price to customize handmade Martin boots, and they are not short of money.

Although it is several hundred cents more expensive than the shoes sold in Youzhou Workshop, they don’t care. Moreover, the custom Martin boots are very exquisite, making people look extraordinary at first glance, which can satisfy the vanity of rich people.

Why do they make so much money with their face and dignity? Being satisfied with their mentality is also a way for them to balance their mindset.

Li De was not surprised to hear the Weili report that his shoes were being snapped up. There are too many shops in Youzhou doing business, so it is difficult to find a few that are too poor.

He would be surprised if he could not sell his shoes.

The most expensive shoes now are rubber-soled, and when he is fine, he wears cloth shoes with a layered sole.

Many people may not care.

Li De will not go out to show off, and for him there is no surprise for rubber soles, it has more advantages as professional functional shoes now.

He would choose to disdain when wearing it in daily life, and then there were deerskin boots, which was a very high-end and atmospheric thing.

He is not easy to tell about such things, after all, he still has to do business.

"Governor, rubber shoes are really profitable now. Should the workshop take advantage of this time to produce more?"

Wei Lin was also very moved by the huge benefits. He had already calculated that if all the reserved rubber was produced in the soles, the income would be enough to match the tax revenue in the next three years.

"No, rubber is an industrial material. If you want to use it on the blade, let the market trade it." Li De said.

Wei Li immediately understood that it was not that they could not produce it, but that he already knew that all this was to launch a rubber plantation program to stimulate the merchants.

The value of shoes can directly reflect the value of rubber, so how can smart people not see the value?

"yes."

"Shi Huaiyi has already taken people to the south, and the goods are transported by Zheng's ship. I was a little worried, so I sent five hundred elite troops to protect them."

"Well, be careful to make the ten thousand-year-old ship, be careful in everything, the sea is not so calm." Li De agreed.

They all know about pirates. In addition, they may also be affected by natural disasters, so the risk of sailing is much greater.

Li De has to say that the Zheng family is really courageous. The fastest merchant ships would take one year to complete, but in order not to delay shipping, they wanted to cooperate with Youzhou as soon as possible. I don’t know what relationship they used, so they directly purchased three dilapidated merchant ships from Nanling.

He didn't know how to obtain it. He only knew that the three merchant ships started trade between the two sides in three months.

The Zheng family not only puts effort into shipping, but also optimizes the supply of fertilizer in the signed cooperation, and the rice fields may increase more harvests in the coming year.

Next is cooperation in rice and grain.

Speaking of shipping, the Zheng family really put in a lot of effort, otherwise it would not have been so convenient to attack the Turks last time.

Wei Li left after reporting on his work. At this time, Li De took out the information about Youzhou Dock. It would be impossible to solve the food problem by relying solely on current cash crops.

He wanted to develop sea transportation and go to Europe and other continents to bring back more crops, such as corn and pepper.

In addition, there are a large amount of mineral materials.

The landing plan for South America is just an ambition.

It is necessary to build a powerful national warship, but consider that the current steam engine cannot meet the requirements.

Steamboats require more industrial foundation than steam trains, so they can only start with wooden sailing boats.

To ensure the safety of sea transportation, you can only increase the size of the ship. You cannot just send one ship when sailing, it is best to rely on a fleet.

Although the current large ship is quite large, it cannot meet the long-distance navigation.

What you are currently manufacturing is large sailboats, and the technical specifications are all made in European style warships.

Now the ship project is a "gold-swallowing beast", which is more investment than building a steam engine, because the dock requires too many supporting facilities.

Moreover, all kinds of steam engines were put into use at the dock as the power source for the crane.

The carpentry team led by Lu Mingxing and Lu Mingyue also had many projects, and the shipbuilding progress was really not very fast.

Youzhou workshops are currently mainly iron tools, and Li De has to unilaterally tilt resources during the development of industrial foundation.

"The speed is still too slow. It is really not an easy thing to quickly fill the ancient technology tree."

Li De knew that he was a little anxious and development was not achieved overnight.

"Grandmaster, Situ En's Commander asked for a visit." The guard came in and said.

"Please come in."

"Grandmaster, good news, the new type of tank can be used to fight after trial."

Situ En, among many commanders, has been hiding among the workshops in Youzhou since he became obsessed with the hidden weapon trap chariots.

Especially the woodworking workshop, the chariots in Youzhou now include melee crossbows, long-range crossbows, blade chariots for melee combat, and spit trains.

According to Li De's plan, in order to adapt to the technological development of the chariot, he also planned to use horses as the power source to create a full-body covered chariot.

Not afraid of swords, guns, swords and halberds, they wrap horses and personnel in chariots, and use bows and crossbows and fire-breathing as their main attack weapons.

He had a wild idea, but he didn't expect that the Lu brothers really made a sample.
