Looking at Zhu Houzhao's disappointed look, Ye Chunqiu smiled and explained: "Your Majesty only needs to know that although building a car does not have crystal to make money, it is the foundation of the establishment of the Zhenguo Mansion."

As if he felt that this was not enough for Zhu Houzhao to understand, Ye Chunqiu added: "It's amazing."

Zhu Houzhao still doesn't understand it, and it's difficult for him to connect this car manufacturing with power.

But when he saw Ye Chunqiu's confidence and reassuring look, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask, "How powerful?"

He was the one who broke the casserole and asked the question to the end, or when he became interested in something, especially the inconspicuous carriage, he refused to let Ye Chunqiu say a few words perfunctorily.

"Uh..." Seeing Zhu Houzhao's desire for knowledge, Ye Chunqiu smiled and sighed, and then continued: "How powerful? Your Majesty, this car is very delicate, right?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Yes."

Ye Chunqiu said again: "Because of the fineness, it involves many things, from the processing of wood, the processing of leather goods, the forging of keels, the yard, the rotary shaft and so on, it is all-encompassing. If a car shop wants to build a car, someone needs to make steel, some make iron, some make molds, some make mills, some extract lubricating oil from minerals, and some make more durable wooden boards. In addition, sofas and chassis also need springs. Let's talk about this spring and screws. In order to supply the car shop, the Zhenguo Mansion needs to build a screw workshop and a spring workshop, and it needs to recruit hundreds of craftsmen. In order to meet the needs of springs, is it not necessary to

Need to train more resilient steel? In order to improve efficiency, do better production tools need? This is just a small matter. Every day's production can cultivate better craftsmen. With daily output, these excellent craftsmen may find better methods. Because the profits of the car are pretty good, they will have better salary. In this way, more skilled craftsmen, even those with skilled people can come in. Your Majesty, you see that many of the parts of this car are ingenious, but if all these workshops rise up and train thousands of the most sophisticated craftsmen in the world, will the Zhenguo Mansion build muskets and cannons?"

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Houzhao's gradually changing expression, and then said, "Look, building cars can make money, bring income to the Zhenguo Mansion, cultivate many craftsmen, and improve craftsmanship. If these skills are used on muskets and cannons in the future, what will happen?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

So that's it.

While making money, more people can live a better life and more people can make a living by relying on craftsmanship and enter a certain positive cycle. However, the real purpose is to serve the new army in Zhenguo. The money earned can be invested in Zhenguo's new army. Skilled craftsmen can create better firearms in the future.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes looked bright, and she rubbed her hands excitedly and said, "Why not try making muskets and cannons now?"

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "It's not the time. The new army in Zhenguo is small. Even if they are equipped with muskets, they cannot form intensive attacks. When the number of people is expanded in the future, if the number of people is expanded, the Zhenguo Mansion needs to have sufficient money and grain to support them. Therefore, workshops are the top priority. Now, let the craftsmen make money for Zhenguo Mansion and accumulate skills. When the new army in Zhenguo is expanded and scaled up, they can try the muskets."

Ye Chunqiu smiled and continued to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, everything must be planned. After achieving a certain goal, the next step is to move towards another goal, and take every step forward. Well, to the point of being bad, it is to be greedy for Shu."

Ye Chunqiu stretched out before continuing: "Now, everything is in trouble. Start with the capital to supply the carriages and horses of dignitaries and nobles. Next, we have to sell the world. This Ming Dynasty has an advantage. You don't need to think about the appetite of ordinary people. You only need to be the cabinet ministers and the roundworms of the officials in the court to meet their needs. When the officials below see what the superiors are sitting, they will naturally follow the trend. Today is the capital official, and there is no need to deliberately advertise. Local officials from all over the country will rush to place orders. If local officials set an example, those gentry and wealthy families will naturally follow the trend."

Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips. He thought that the sales of the car would not be worrying about. Now the only thing he thought about was how to continuously expand production and improve the process. Now the craftsmen use assembly lines, which is a very basic assembly line. It is nothing more than dividing the entire production into more than a dozen processes. Each person is only responsible for his own process. There is no need for a craftsman to install the entire car. Ye Chunqiu thought for a while: "Your Majesty, the construction of workshops in various parts of the Zhenguo Mansion will be accelerated. If Your Majesty can find a way to ask the Ministry of Works to recruit some more people, we can finish the work before October. In this way, workshops in various places can start construction. At that time, the production speed will be more than ten times faster than now. It is too slow to build twenty or thirty cars in a day."

Zhu Houzhao held his chin and thought, then raised his eyes and said, "The Ministry of Revenue still owes me the salary of the Duke of Zhenguo. This damn Ministry of Revenue refuses to take the money... Well... Think about it again, I think about it again... Okay, I think about it."

Zhu Houzhao really wanted to ask for salary, but the Ministry of Revenue ignored him at all. You just wanted to ask for salary after changing your vest. How could you really treat everyone as funny?

Ye Chunqiu also knew a little about this. Zhu Houzhao first looked for Li Dongyang from the Ministry of Revenue. Li Dongyang refused sternly. Then he took his people to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for it, but the Ministry of Revenue refused. Zhu Houzhao thought of another solution. He issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor and sent it to the Ministry of Revenue, asking the Ministry of Revenue to give money immediately. As a result, the Ministry of Revenue directly rejected the imperial edict, which was disrespectful to resist the imperial edict. Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to discuss it, and it would be a half. Who dared to give this kind of money to Zhu Houzhao? If he gave it, he would become a traitor. As a result, a Qing official in the Ministry of Revenue simply resigned and wanted to retire and quit. The emperor could not afford to mess with him, so he died even more miserably. He simply returned to his hometown to beg for his return, and could still leave a good reputation.

Zhu Houzhao was disappointed in this matter. Now that he thought about dealing with the Ministry of Works, he couldn't help but shivered, but he couldn't help thinking: "It's not that I have no idea. Go and ask my mother to build a pagoda here to pray for the dead soldiers and people in Datong. Well, just call it Datong Temple. When the Ministry of Works takes out the money, grain and manpower, let them build the workshop first, haha... I'm getting smarter now."
