Chapter 679: Steam Project

Buying armor, it seems that my father-in-law has really made a lot of determination. ”

Not because of the number of armor but because of the quality of the armor required, the requirements are all made of refined steel, isn't this level of armor the level of the guards in Youzhou.

You must know that the price of creating these armors is expensive, and the most favorable set of armor also requires 100 pieces.

The opening is 3,000 sets, 300,000 yuan, so much money, I don't know why Li Yuan took it out, no matter how the money is accumulated, it doesn't matter to him.

Since I ask Li Xiuning, then the discount is certain, there are many 3,000 sets of armor parts in the workshop, and after the workshop personnel assemble them, they really found a suitable configuration.

It didn't take much time to select all the parts that had been built, and it took three days to make up 3,000 sets.

Li Jiancheng was overjoyed when he saw the armor, and he couldn't wait to equip it now and try it, so he left after verifying the quantity.

Three thousand sets of armor have made the Li family's black-clothed Xuanjia guards, all of which are made of refined steel to defend against general bows and arrows, as long as they do not encounter Youzhou soldiers or Northwest soldiers in the current war, it can be said that the armor defense alone is conducive to the place.

After Li De made a military armor business, people came to Youzhou one after another to deliver military armor orders, and all the orders to send money were taken one by one.

Youzhou Workshop began to work at full capacity, and to make money you have to be diligent, and during this time, all the newly recruited craftsmen joined the production to familiarize themselves with the new working mode.

The new craftsmen found that the weapons sold were all watering technology, and the production efficiency was greatly improved.

The comparison of the traditional forging method opened their eyes, irrigation and polishing are all division of labor and cooperation, and I don't know how much faster than the previous tinkling and tempering.

In fact, the key technology lies in the iron smelting technology, even if the hardness and toughness achieved by this method have met the current order demand.

The weapons produced were enough to meet the corresponding requirements, especially the output of arrows and spears, which simply refreshed their cognition.

The Li family paid 300,000 yuan to purchase the armor, I am afraid that they really used their family funds, and after the Xuanjia guards changed their clothes, I heard that they occupied several cities, and the speed of attacking the city and grabbing the land was extraordinary.

The vanguard makes money, the city guard is well-informed, Li Shimin is envious, and he is also extremely jealous in his heart, when the city guard mansion was first established, it was the vanguard who paid for it.

After more than a year of accumulation, the financial income of the castle guard increased rapidly, and there was a faint tendency to exceed the income of the vanguards.

He thought that as long as he worked harder, it wouldn't take long to surpass the vanguard, but he didn't expect Li De to make a lot of money when he carried out an activity.

Li Shimin suddenly found that his efforts now were not enough, Youzhou is now a commercial capital, and there are many shops, and the financial and tax income is already more than that of Changji and Luoyang combined.

Originally, he was still complacent about his abilities and the career he had made, but now he was hit to the point that he decided to work harder and definitely surpass the vanguard in terms of economy.

There was one more thing he didn't say, Maeda Li Yuan wrote to him saying that he would go back to take charge of the family's soldiers and horses, and he was very moved at that time, and after a calm analysis, he decided not to go back.

There is an eldest brother Li Jiancheng in the family, even if he does something, it can't change the fact that he is not the eldest son.

The more he does, the more he fights for his eldest brother, and now his position as a city guard in Youzhou is different.

I want him to go back there and have such a good thing, and he enjoys this feeling very much in the high position in Youzhou, and he also has this ability.

The soldiers and horses besieging Taiyuan Mansion have all been withdrawn, and they are still practicing and expanding the chassis, and he doesn't envy these achievements, and he doesn't believe it when he says it.

Smart people usually make choices by taking advantage of the trend, and you don't need to think about it at all, knowing which side to support.

However, Li Shimin is not a person who is willing to work for others, and the authority of the city guard is very heavy, but there are no soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to nothing for an ambitious person like him.

He knows very well that in this society, if he wants to control his own destiny, he needs to have the corresponding ability, such as obtaining military power.

Isn't the current management of Youzhou developing so well because of the vanguard behind it, no matter how good the civil officials are, that's it.

When Youzhou's power expands, his power to guard the city will increase, which is nothing more than expanding the scale of management, which is essentially different from the rights he wants to get.

No one knew that Li Shimin had such thoughts, Li Shimin also knew that there was Li Xiuning, Li De and these people were like this no matter how hard he worked, and he was not in a very good mood for a few days.

Youzhou workshop has received a lot of weapons orders, high output, good quality, fast shipment, the latest batch of orders delivered to Penglai to protect children, tens of thousands of arrows.

Their sailors are mainly archers, and the consumption of arrows is huge, and now Youzhou provides cost-effective services and has a wide range of business.

This is the case at the moment for the Founder Youzhou Workshop, where the processing of armor has become its main business, and they are allowed to place orders through third-party merchants.

So you don't care who the buyer is, you don't care at all, you can make money if you have money, of course, not all the armor is sold back.

For example, heavy armor and armor-piercing arrows will not be taken out, and the vanguard needs to ensure that the equipment is ahead.

The business is very good, and the recent dividends of the Youzhou Workshop have also been paid, and the craftsmen are motivated and hardworking to improve their living conditions, which are very positive.

Li De has been counting money and his hands have cramped recently, and before the hundreds of thousands of dollars of income have been put into the warehouse, he allocated a part of it to support the R&D department.

Most of the money is used to process machine tools, and it is really the kind that spends as much as you want, so the lord of Yujun has been frequently reminding him for several days that he must pay attention to the degree of investment.

Li De wants to improve the industrial level of Youzhou, and how can he get less scientific research funds if he wants to process high-grade parts.

Now that manual rotors and other tools have limited the productivity of the workshop, it is necessary to devote all efforts to the development of steam engines.

The steam engine can provide active energy to make the machine run more efficiently, such as grinding machine tools, which now use foot-operated chain kinetic energy.

That is, when using the machine tool, someone needs to sit in a specific position and provide kinetic energy for the machine tool like a bicycle.

The continuous grinding work is faster than the manual one, and the grinding wheel penetration rate of the limited machine tool will be limited, and the personnel are very physically demanding, and there are still drawbacks and defects.

With the steam engine, it is different, and the continuous operation of the machine tool can play a qualitative transcendence in the work of the craftsman.

The principle of steam equipment is very simple, with the current technology is enough to cope with it, that is, there is a large demand for iron, mainly for the manufacture of boilers.
