Chapter 458: The weather is gradually emerging
Willow catkins are flying on the avenue, and the sun is shining. The weather is good today. Many people go out for outings and outings. The carriages and horses on the road are quite lively. In Huanglong County, Pingxi County, a more lively place than on the official road is the Ganzhou Manufacturing Bureau next to the official road.
In just half a year, the former Huanglongjiang Machinery Camp and the Ganzhou Manufacturing Bureau have already changed. When Yan Liqiang came out of the Manufacturing Bureau in a black four-wheeled carriage, there was a long convoy at the door of the Manufacturing Bureau, and a scene of bustling traffic.
There are three types of carriages lined up at the entrance of the Manufacturing Bureau. One is the carriages from villagers from Shugang Village and Pingba Village near the Manufacturing Bureau. These cars are four-wheeled ox carriages. Although they are slow, they have a large load. The four-wheeled ox carriages made by the Manufacturing Bureau have long been popularized in Huanglong County. Although those ordinary four-wheeled ox carriages do not have advanced shock absorption devices such as springs, four-wheeled ox carriages are much more convenient than two-wheeled ox carriages. Therefore, after craftsmen from all over the country understood the principle of four-wheeled ox carriages, more and more four-wheeled ox carriages were galloping on the official road, and there was a great momentum to completely replace two-wheeled ox carriages.
The things sent by the villagers of Shugang Village and Pingba Village to the Manufacturing Bureau are the things that are most consumed and used among the two types of troops, long swords and arrows commissioned by the Manufacturing Bureau. Today is the day when the delivery was agreed by the Manufacturing Bureau and the villagers of the two villages, so there are a lot of ox carts coming.
The spears and arrows on the ox cart have been tied and bandaged. After being pulled to the manufacturing bureau, the craftsmen of the manufacturing bureau were responsible for inspecting the storage. As long as the quality was qualified, they would immediately pay the villagers with real money. They would deliver the goods and collect the money at the same time, and would never owe them. There were no vacancies. The villagers who received the money all smiled and narrowed their eyes.
In the past six months, after tasting the real sweetness and benefits of Shugang Village, Shugang Village, the Manufacturing Bureau, more and more people have joined the ranks of building weapons. Every night after dinner or during the slack season, one family is a small workshop, with men, women, young and old together, and the whole village is busy continuing the orders sent by the Manufacturing Bureau. Whenever the delivery is reached, the old and young men in the village are driving a car to send a large number of qualified arrows and spears to the Manufacturing Bureau. This scene has become a unique scenery in Huanglong County.
On the one hand, the manufacturing bureau was collecting the arrows and spears sent by the villagers. On the other hand, after these arrows were put into storage, they were sent out in a blink of an eye and became the weapons purchased by the garrison of Pingxi County. Especially those arrows, the arrows consumed more than the spears and demanded more. There was almost no time to be enough. After learning that the arrows produced by the manufacturing bureau were of excellent quality, Ries waved his hand and how many Ganzhou troops produced by the Ganzhou Army had all the arrows produced by the Ganzhou Army, the purchase price was the same as the price of the arrows purchased by the Ganzhou Army from various craftsmanship camps.
Because of this, the Manufacturing Bureau collected the things and put them in the warehouse. Afterwards, the things were out of the warehouse and moved back to the four-wheeled carriage. According to the requirements of the governor's mansion, they were sent to the camps of the various troops in Ganzhou.
Among the four-wheeled vehicles lined up outside the manufacturing bureau and pulled by horses to the manufacturing bureau, are arrows and spears that are out of the warehouse.
Among the carriages outside the Manufacturing Bureau, there are many carriages with traditional two-wheeled wheels, and there are also four-wheeled ones. At first glance, they are the kind of carriages that pull people instead of goods. They come from all directions. Some are from Ganzhou, some are from the northwest states, and even further away, from other states and counties of the Han Empire. On those carriages, there are beautifully dressed figures, talking to the people sitting in the carriage through the windows of the carriage, asking questions, and looking at the convoys outside the Manufacturing Bureau with interest. These carriages come to the Manufacturing Bureau to order goods.
In the past six months, the four-wheeled carriage of the Ganzhou Manufacturing Bureau has long been famous all over the world and has become a symbol of the identity and status of the Han Empire. All of this comes from the "gift" sent to the imperial capital to His Majesty the Emperor before Yan Liqiang's subconstruction last year, which is the "celebrity marketing" carefully planned by Yan Liqiang.
According to the craftsmen who came back, when the four-wheeled carriage from the Manufacturing Bureau was assembled in Luyuan and brought to the palace by Eunuch Liu, the entire Imperial Capital City was sensation. After receiving the four-wheeled carriage from Yan Liqiang, the Emperor was very happy. After two days, he had a winter hunting with the civil and military officials in the royal hunting ground outside the Imperial Capital City. During the winter hunting, in the envious eyes of the civil and military officials in the court, His Majesty the Emperor appeared in the hunting ground in the unique four-wheeled carriage given to him by Yan Liqiang. It was majestic and compared the frame of the Prime Minister Lin Qingtian at once, and the limelight completely overwhelmed Lin Qingtian. As a result, the reputation of the four-wheeled carriage from the Ganzhou Manufacturing Bureau was completely spread among the great and powerful families in the Imperial Capital City.
Before Yan Liqiang could return a few craftsmen sent to the imperial capital, orders for luxury four-wheeled carriages from all directions from the Han Empire had already flown from all directions.
More than 5,000 silver carriages are naturally a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people, but this amount of money is nothing in the eyes of the wealthy families and dignitaries of the Han Empire. You should know that the price of a different rhinoceros dragon horse in those families is sometimes tens of thousands of taels of silver. Some more rare and cherished alien rhinoceros dragon horses are more likely to reach more than 100,000 taels of silver. Compared with those alien rhinoceros dragon horses, a four-wheeled carriage with less than 10,000 taels of silver is not expensive, but cheap. For those people, not to mention thousands of taels of silver, even if the price is ten times more, as long as the Ganzhou Manufacturing Bureau can let them sit on a four-wheeled carriage that His Majesty likes, it is worth it.
Faced with the roles of the wealthy families and other officials from all over the Han Empire, Qian Su's views on rich people were refreshed for the first time.
Many people came to the special custom-made four-wheeled carriage with a price of more than 10,000 taels of silver and smashed the silver notes in front of Qian Su, and asked for dozens of them, which was like buying watermelons on the street.
Because the customization cycle of four-wheeled carriages is long, many people who come to order the car even say that if they can deliver the goods one day in advance, they will give an extra thousand taels of silver.
What's more, after finding Qian Su, he directly offered millions of taels of silver to buy the manufacturing method of the spring needed to make the four-wheeled carriage...
Also, those forces who saw the business opportunities of the Manufacturing Bureau and wanted to cooperate with the Manufacturing Bureau also came in a flood of...
Of course, just when Yan Liqiang was indifferent to the world, because of such a four-wheeled carriage, the name Yan Liqiang was completely opened in the Han Empire. This time, not only the northwest of Ganzhou and the imperial capital, but the entire Han Empire knew that there was such a famous supervisor Qi Yun in Pingxi County of Ganzhou...
