Chapter 500: Ancient Chariots

This situation has lasted for more than half a month, more than 300,000 yuan, and only one glass exhibit will be held.

Just after the merchants finished transporting the materials, they all planned to return and sell all the glass ornaments, and exchange them for money, and they had the opportunity to come to Youzhou.

Before leaving, many businessmen came to the Governor's Mansion to ask when the next glass exhibit would be held, and the time given by Li De for this matter was half a year later.

Although the merchants were a little disappointed, half a year was really too much time for them.

They all want to make money, but what makes them happy is that although the glass exhibition will be held once every six months, the scale of the next time will be several times that of the previous one, and the number of goods on display will increase.

There will be no situation where the merchant has money and cannot buy the goods.

This is to let some businessmen find an opportunity to gamble, many people plan to go home to sell the glass goods in their hands first, working capital and then to buy.

Li De has long thought that businessmen will be like this, but if the glass industry wants to ensure sales and prices, it cannot be sold in batches, and the market must be slowly developed to stabilize.

With this funding, there can be a lot of pressure, which can develop the construction of Youzhou City, and many commercial facilities and public facilities can be built.

There is also the most important property, and it may not make much money from selling real estate in this era, so Li De's plan is to lease it, and the price is only two or three hundred yuan a year.

It may not be possible to return the cost of construction in a few years, but talent is fundamental, even if you know that expanding the workshop is the maximum benefit, but for the sake of population problems, you have to do these things that do not see a return on investment.

Fortunately, there are still 5,000 laborers who may be responsible for the main force of construction, and these people are the people who have been recovered from Zhangshui, and they have all been assigned to work in various places where manpower is needed.

During this period of time, I have mastered some construction experience, and the boss's surname is not a complicated thing, as long as there are enough people.

It is convenient to have money to do things, and in less than half a month, He Bida, Shi Huaiyi and others left Youzhou City with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and their departure did not alarm others.

Luo Yi and Li Jing were responsible for escorting grain and grass, and there were Yanyun cavalry along the way to protect them, and they did not encounter enemies when they left the border of Youzhou.

The millions of soldiers and horses of the Sui State were still gathered, and the more troops they had, the more people they needed to transport supplies, so Wei Li consulted with the military officials of the imperial court several times, and finally said that they should purchase wheelbarrows.

After two days of talking, thousands of brand-new wheelbarrows were sold, and an additional five thousand were ordered, and not only that, but also horse-drawn carriages, and the frames of ox carts were all urgently needed.

The Lu brothers led people to work day and night, and the orders of the imperial court and the military department led to the development of the workshop, and a large number of hired workers increased every day, which made the people have income every day.

Spring ploughing has passed, and the things in the field do not need to be taken care of every day, it is enough to take care of them every once in a while, and these things can be completed by the women and children in the family.

People who have leisure time can just take advantage of this time to work as helpers, not to mention that they can make money and learn a craft, and even if they help others lay down handicrafts in the future, the money can be higher.

They all cherish this opportunity and work hard to get things done.

The craftsmen brought out by the Lu brothers are all skilled craftsmen, and they are all assembled to make some wheelbarrows, and they are extremely strong.

The layman doesn't know either.

In addition, the Lu brothers also made a lot of strange things, such as Luban locks and Luban stools.

The great thing about Luban's lock is that he doesn't know how to crack the mechanism, even if he opens the lock, the things inside will be destroyed, and this thing has made Li De study for a long time and can't get the hang of it.

The secret technique of the Lu brothers is not a secret, and Li De finally believes that this may be related to the addition of some special substances in it through various analyses.

What white phosphorus does not feel like it when it encounters flammable air, because even if the wooden mechanism is tight, can it block the air, anyway, Li De does not believe it, it must have been achieved by some means, but he still didn't think of the force.

Li De studied this for a long time and finally gave up, anyway, with this thing, it will be much more convenient to pass on superstitions in the future, and he will not be afraid of superstitions being lost and leaking secrets.

Let's talk about the Luban stool, this one is even more amazing, it looks like a folding stool in later generations, where did I think that the Luban stool is the originator of the Mazha stool.

The convenience of travel was equipped with soldiers on duty, and a steady stream of orders allowed the workshop in charge of the Lu brothers to develop, and all kinds of carpentry work were done by them, feeding thousands of people.

Some of it was sold to the departing merchants.

Because of this carpentry workshop, the production of horse-drawn carriages has never stopped, and the transportation team of the Li family, the carriages and wagons used by the vanguard logistics for heavy soldiers and horses are all made in the workshop.

At this rate, the existing workshop could be expanded to three to five times in at least three years, allowing thousands of people to work.

Li Shimin has been running to the workshop recently, and he has come to inspect the beautiful things, and he is here to find jobs for the people who are idle at home.

I happened to see Li De here today, and he felt that things could be done better.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?"

When Li Shimin came over, he happened to see Li De working with the craftsmen.

"New weapons of the enemy are being studied." Li Dedao.

Li Shimin became interested, what is good to study in a carriage, not only to observe but also to help disassemble it.

"The proportions are wrong, but it should be about the same, and I'm improving it a little." Li De said the request, the Lu brothers personally went into battle, and the second assembly failed, so the third improvement could only be made.

Cheng Zhijie and You Junda were comparing to the drawings on the table, even if they saw something used by the Turks when they fought with Wei Chi Jingde.

A new type of chariot, driven by horses, with iron traps embedded around the hull, like maces, that would cause serious damage to nearby objects after the carriage told them to run.

It is simply a sharp weapon to restrain infantry and cavalry.

As long as the scale is formed, it is impossible to avoid it with the movement speed of the infantry, whether it is hit by two horses or injured by the hull and weapons on it, it is fatal.

Li De drew the drawings according to the information narrated by the two men, but the production of ancient chariots required technology, so it took several days to restore and assemble without success.

In the end, Li De asked the Lu brothers to transform according to their subjective methods, but there were some small problems when assembling, Li Shimin saw it carefully, and unconsciously it took a few people to fiddle with a wooden car for half a day.

"It finally worked." Lu Mingyue said.
