"Prince, since we used this steam engine, our kiln factory has finally no longer worried about the raw materials. In the past, we needed more than a thousand craftsmen to take on the task of crushing raw materials. Now, we only need these dozen steam engines to crush all the required raw materials. Moreover, the crushed raw materials are much more uniform and delicate than before. [sogou, 360, soso search classics | Classics | Novels for free download]"

At the kiln factory outside Pingjiang, Chen Feng followed Xue Wanyu and inspected everywhere. Xue Wanyu walked along the way, talking, excited.

In the past, kiln factories had always faced the dilemma of insufficient production capacity, and the main reason was that the crushing of raw materials was too wasteful of labor.

Now, with this steam engine, it can drive a huge mill, even twenty horses can't catch up. It's fast and good. It saves manpower and a lot of expenses.

These more than a dozen steam engines liberated two thousand people. These two thousand people were supplemented to other departments, which made the output of the entire kiln factory suddenly turn over.

Chen Feng nodded. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, which is absolutely the truth in later generations. Now, we first use our own kiln factory to turn our man-operated kiln factory into a mechanized factory. Of course, the degree of mechanization is still very low now.

"Wanyu, I was right at the beginning? The output of our glass has increased and the cost continues to decrease. In this way, we can sell these glasses to foreign countries and sell them well, especially to Great Britain." Chen Feng said.

"Prince, you are still hanging that Juliet!" Now, Xue Wanyu was very dissatisfied with Juliet, so when he heard the prince mentioning about Juliet, he was very dissatisfied.

Chen Feng naturally knew Xue Wanyu's jealous spirit. At that time, Xue Wanyu was not even afraid of Lan Yuhan, and was she afraid of Juliet who had no status?

"Wanyu, you don't know that although the land of Great Britain is a barbarian, the people above are very rich. The currencies they use are all gold and silver coins. When we dump these goods into Great Britain, they have to buy them for gold and silver coins, so that they can receive all their gold and silver from us. Not only Great Britain, but also large areas of countries in the east of Great Britain, and people there are very interested in our glass. We make money from our own country, which is not called ability. It is beneficial to our country to make a lot of money from foreigners." Chen Feng said.

When talking about gold and silver coins, Xue Wanyu's face changed and said, "Prince, if we spend the money we make now, we can't spend it all for generations. What a pity, your navy is really a bottomless pit. Almost all the money we make is for the navy."

"Wanyu, the navy must become strong. Only with sufficient force can we protect the prosperity of our trade. This time, we want to attack the island country. In fact, the main reason is that the island country has a silver mountain, and the entire mountain is made of silver. We have occupied the island country and moved all the mountain back. Now, we are still in the investment stage. After that, we will get pure profits. At that time, we will sleep every day, under the head of the bed, there will be gold and silver mountains." Chen Feng said.

"Prince, in fact, you don't value money very much." At this time, you have already reached a place where no one is around, and Xue Wanyu suddenly said this.

Xue Wanyu didn't have a direct feeling about the island country at this time. For her, those things have nothing to do with her. However, the current prince actually has some invisible risks, and she wants to give them to the prince.

Suddenly, Chen Feng was stunned. Why didn’t he value it? Money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible.

"You are very generous to your subordinates, which does not conform to the character of a businessman at all. Moreover, you may not know how much money you have now, right?" Xue Wanyu said.

If you are really a person who is full of money, you will never be able to know how much money you have. What's scary is that Chen Feng really doesn't know how much money he has. To him, money is just a symbol.

"Wanyu, I was just a down-and-out person who had no meals after eating. I lived in a broken house. At that time, I was determined to make a bigger deal than the Chen family. Now, I have been very successful. Only mean people will be stingy with their subordinates. I don't need to do that." Chen Feng said.

"Prince, do you know that wealth is comparable to a country?" Xue Wanyu said.

Rich is as good as a country? Chen Feng said: "What's wrong with this?"

"Prince, a big tree attracts wind, and more money hurts people. You have too much wealth now, which will inevitably cause some people to be jealous!" Xue Wanyu said.

"What, is there any news?" Chen Feng asked with a smile when he heard Xue Wanyu say this.

"Prince, we help the officials keep their property and then give them interest. Most of them are very happy, but there are also a few people who did not participate. The main ones are the people led by Li Shanchang." Xue Wanyu said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was too harsh on his subordinates. He earned less money than a person who sold vegetables. Moreover, he had to check the illegal income of those officials. These officials were eager to die.

At this time, Chen Feng took the initiative to stand up and help them keep their money and goods, and then gave them interest. In name, many businessmen wanted to do business but did not have enough capital, so they borrowed their money and then gave interest.

These officials were very happy that the income was completely legal.

However, several years have passed, and all those who should cooperate have cooperated, and only one group of people have not cooperated with Chen Feng. After Xue Wanyu's investigation, all of these people were from Li Shanchang's group.

Li Shanchang always opposes Chen Feng, and now he is unwilling to take advantage of this, which makes Xue Wanyu even more alert. Seeing that the prince is in high spirits today, Xue Wanyu brought it up.

Li Shanchang? This person is usually hard to get along with him, but it is impossible for him to make any conspiracy against him. In Li Shanchang's Prime Minister's Mansion, he has his own spies. Moreover, with his own strength, will the current emperor dare to make any adverse decisions against him?

If something really happened, the emperor had to favor himself. When Chen Feng thought of this, he showed a disdainful look on his face: "Everyone has his own choice. If they don't cooperate with us, then forget it, let them live with the court's salary."

Seeing Chen Feng so relaxed, Xue Wanyu finally hesitated and didn't say it. In fact, what she really wanted to express was equivalent to Chen Feng paying these officials. If the emperor knew about it, what should he think? What should he do if he was used by someone with a heart?

After all, this time, when the prince attacks the island country, all the main forces under the prince are exposed, there will be some kind of risk hidden here.

However, since the prince is not afraid, there is no reason to be afraid. Everything is under the control of the prince.

Xue Wanyu looked at Chen Feng calmly and walked forward.

In front, we have arrived at the warehouse where the goods in the kiln factory are temporarily stored, where wood chips, thatch and piles are everywhere.

"Our main product is still large pieces of glass, which is simple to manufacture and very high selling price, which is our main source of profit. In addition to glass, there are also a few glass products, such as lenses of Qianli Miles, small glass balls, etc.," said Xue Wanyu.

As he was talking, Chen Feng had already bent down and looked at a small glass jar.

The glass jar was the size of it suited your needs, Chen Feng picked it up.

"Prince, that's when the craftsmen were making it. It's useless for an unsuccessful blank." Xue Wanyu said. The glass jar was a waste made a few days ago.

"No, Wanyu, this is very useful." Chen Feng said: "I need at least one million such jars."

One million, this is a huge number! Hearing Chen Feng say this, Xue Wanyu didn't blink: "Prince, if you order, we can make these jars within a month."

If it had not been possible for three months before, now, the problem of raw materials has been solved, and these are not problems.

"But, Prince, what do you want so many jars?" Xue Wanyu asked. There are still a lot of them, one million, are they planting flowers and growing grass?

"Of course it works," Chen Feng's face was full of smiles: "Do you still remember that we brought a lot of canned food last time we went to sea."

As soon as Chen Feng mentioned the word canned, Xue Wanyu immediately understood.

Last time I used a ceramic jar, that one is not as direct as this glass jar. You can see clearly what can it is inside. Moreover, if you put the glass jar in can, it is easier to know whether the can inside is fresh.

The total number of the navy's expedition this time will be between 40,000 and 50,000 people. Each of these million canned foods can be divided into more than 20 people, which is enough for use along the way.

Chen Feng has always been generous in dealing with his subordinates.

"Yes, Prince." Xue Wanyu said: "This jar will be made in our kiln factory soon. A month later, many fruits have reached the harvest season and can be prepared. However, to make canned food, you have to find someone to take charge again."

When Chen Feng heard Xue Wanyu say this, he frowned. Yes, originally, he planned to let Mom do this. The development of the Chen family in the catering industry is all due to Mom's contribution. However, now Mom is in Dadu, and he cannot invite Mom from all over the place. And there are really no extra people around him.

"Prince, how about that Ye Shishi? She made the canned food at the beginning, and now she has lost her memory. Instead of keeping it for free to eat our food, it is better to let her work for us." Xue Wanyu said.

Ye Shishi? Chen Feng shook his head: "Absolutely not possible." In the past, he asked Ye Shishi to do these things, but he had not yet understood Ye Shishi's true identity. At that time, it was just a test.

But now, it is completely different. With the identity of Ye Shishi, you can make canned food for yourself. If poisoning it, your army will fail. Food safety is a big deal. Although Ye Shishi has lost her memory now, who knows whether she will wake up one day? Or, her current amnesia is also pretending that the islanders are quite good at this.

"Prince, Mrs. Lan is here." At this moment, Liu Gou'er, who was close to her, suddenly ran in from outside and reported to Chen Feng.
