Chapter 459 Bottleneck

The wooden door of the Manufacturing Bureau has been demolished. Now the entrance of the Manufacturing Bureau is a tall blue stone door that is more than ten meters tall. On both sides of the stone door are two copper lions, which are upright and elegant, a bit like the entrance of the European castle that Yan Liqiang saw in his previous life. There are gatekeepers on both sides of the stone door for duty. Connecting to the entrance is the castle wall that the Manufacturing Bureau has just built, right on the open space next to the gate.

The vacant land covering dozens of acres has been leveled out. In the future, the vacant land will be the place where the carriages are parked in the Manufacturing Bureau. Now on that vacant land, there are craftsmen driving cows to pull stone mills to level the ground. After the parking lot is repaired, the situation of carriages queuing in front of the Manufacturing Bureau can be solved. The section of road connecting the Huanglong County Official Road outside has long been leveled out and turned into avenues where four carriages can be allowed to pass at the same time.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Ganzhou Manufacturing Bureau, which had money, began to change drastically, and gradually began to become what Yan Liqiang thought. The current Manufacturing Bureau is producing things while carrying out construction. The craftsmen in the Manufacturing Bureau have long been accustomed to this kind of maneuvering change in the past six months. Every one or two months, one or two workshops will be moved back to new workshops and factories, or craftsmen will be moved into new residences. Whether it is a new workshop or workshop (Yan Liqiang's words), they are spacious, bright, clean, tidy and comfortable. It is much better than before. The craftsmen in the entire Manufacturing Bureau are full of morale and devote themselves to their work.

The popularity of four-wheeled carriages far exceeded the expectations of Yan Liqiang and Qian Su. The current four-wheeled carriage production assembly line in the manufacturing bureau is already in two shifts, operating continuously for twenty-four hours a day. The monthly four-wheeled carriages can reach ninety, but even so, the orders that flew from all over the Han Empire were scheduled to be three years later.

Just for the four-wheeled carriage, the Manufacturing Bureau's profit this year will exceed more than four million taels of silver.

This is a number that no one expected.

The so-called reservations of the Manufacturing Bureau are paid in advance and then picked up the car after the carriage is built. In this way, the manufacturing bureau has now held more than 15 million taels of silver.

When he came back this time, Yan Liqiang was shocked after learning how much money the Manufacturing Bureau now had. The speed and scale of this fund accumulation were really amazing. If it were put into the previous life, such fund accumulation speed would probably be comparable to that of pyramid scheme-style fundraising fraud. Of course, the manufacturing bureau was not a fundraising fraud. The reason why this was so successful was that the four-wheeled carriage product was unique and excellent, and the other was that Yan Liqiang's advertising was really successful.

Qian Su, who is in charge of the affairs of the Manufacturing Bureau, is no longer worried about not having money, but is worried about too much money and not knowing how to spend it. Because the Manufacturing Bureau has too much money now, Qian Su also asked someone to dig a strictly protected storage room underground, and hoarded the silver notes and silver from the Manufacturing Bureau in the storage room.

For Yan Liqiang, if the manufacturing bureau really needs to use the stable huge cash flow provided by the four-wheeled carriage, he can already do many big things. He has countless blueprints in his heart, but the reality that the divine stone of heaven cannot create humans has disrupted many plans in his mind. His biggest problem now is that he has no money in his hands, but that there are no people around him who have no available people. Many of his previous ideas can only come to an abrupt end, or he can only pause or change the plan.

In a blink of an eye, Yan Liqiang had left Liuhe Town for half a month.

In the past half month, he has been busy with the salt factory work in Yuntao County. Now the salt mine in Yuntao County has been taken into account by Yan Liqiang. According to Yan Liqiang's idea, after he took over the salt mine in Yuntao County, he used the function of the Heavenly Dao Stone to create humans and created a group of loyal and reliable craftsmen to control the key production links in the new salt factory. He can keep the secret of producing high-quality salt in his hands for a long time. However, the situation of the Heavenly Dao Stone suddenly disrupted Yan Liqiang's idea, which forced Yan Liqiang's cooperation with Ries to make corresponding adjustments and compromises.

What is the secret to creating high-quality salt from halide salt ore? In fact, it is very simple, it is the charcoal analysis method. As long as the traditional salt processing technology is slightly improved, some simple equipment is added, and the steps are adjusted, the low-quality earth salt can be turned into the highest quality refined salt. The so-called turning stones into gold is just like this.

Yan Liqiang originally wanted to take this secret into his own hands, but the reality forced him to bring Riestong in and share the secret together, because the charcoal analysis method is simple, and it almost shows that in this large-scale production, there are many people involved. If the participants do not leak secrets, they must have strong control measures. In the current situation, only Riestong has this ability.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very backbone. Yan Liqiang once again realized the meaning of this sentence.

The end result of the matter in Yuntao County was that Yan Liqiang promoted several craftsmen and managers from the Manufacturing Bureau to control the production and financial links. At the same time, Qian Su was the manager of the salt factory and ran between the salt factory and the manufacturing bureau. Fortunately, the affairs of the manufacturing bureau were already on the right track, and Qian Su didn't have to worry too much. He could take care of the matter in Yuntao County's salt factory. Anyway, he ran back and forth between the two sides, and it took less than an hour to ride a rhino dragon horse, and two hours were enough to easily ride a four-wheeled carriage. The specific production and confidentiality and security work were handed over to Riestong, and both sides still had the 50% 50% 50% stake.

Yan Liqiang's helpless adjustments and compromises were made by him. In the eyes of Riestong who did not know the reason, it was a manifestation of Yan Liqiang's trust in him. Riestong was naturally very happy. In order to ensure that the salt transactions in Yuntao County were not affected, Riestong directly replaced a county magistrate of Yuntao County, and arranged a battalion next to the salt factory. As for the hundreds of workers and managers involved in the production of the key links, all of them were selected by Riestong. It was said that they were all selected from the retired veterans of Riestong's personal military camp, and there were several experts in it. The entire salt factory also implemented the strictest militarization management, which made it more stringent than the manufacturing bureau.

It took more than ten days to finish the work of Yuntao County Salt Factory. Just yesterday, Yuntao County Salt Factory had produced the first batch of fine salt. Last night, Yan Liqiang and Ries separated from Yuntao County and returned to the manufacturing bureau.

For Yan Liqiang, his return from Yuntao County this time means that money-making and industrial matters have come to an end. Even if Yan Liqiang has countless blueprints in his heart, he may have to take a break for the time being.

If you want to do big things and truly break out, you must have your own team and have someone in your hands. This is Yan Liqiang's deepest understanding after returning from Yuntao County. There are too few people who can use them now. Because there is no one, the places you can really control are Liuhe Town and the Manufacturing Bureau. Once you leave these two places, you will be short of something, and there are almost no people available around you. People are the foundation of everything. With people, the situation in front of you can be defended and opened. If there is no one, even if you can earn more money, you will be just a rich man and a wealthy slave.
