The changes in Handan are very big. Cao Cao could feel it directly when he walked on the streets of Handan.

"Boss, take a look at this. Eight treasure glasses that have just left the factory. It's best to drink from a glass like this. A small trader directly pitched to Cao Cao.

"How do you sell this?" Cao Cao looked at the glass and asked. Cao Cao changed into his own clothes, because the material is silk, and here, only people like the boss can wear silk. The petty traders saw Cao Cao as a boss-like person.

"This is not expensive, ten yuan a piece. If you transport this thing to the south, for example, Wuyue, you can buy it for fifty yuan a piece, if you don't have it, you can sell it for one hundred yuan. You make ninety. Ninety. How's the boss? Produced by Handan Glass Factory. Authentic goodies. The vendor excitedly introduced.

"No, no. I'm looking. Cao Cao said with a smile. He didn't expect that a glass could make so much money, what he knew was that in Lijiazhuang Military Academy, this thing was very ordinary. Cao Cao learned to brush his teeth at military school. Every cadet in the military academy has such a thing, and Cao Cao's toothbrush cup is a glass. But I didn't expect the profit of a glass to be so big. In fact, this small trader is still underestimated. Because a glass can be sold for an astonishing 1,000 yuan in the Wuyue area, and even in a place like Yangzhou, it can easily be sold for about 700 yuan.

Such high profits are an important reason to stimulate the production of Handan Glass Factory.

In fact, there are also such glass workshops among the people, they pay patent fees at a high price, so as to obtain production licenses, and even buy related technologies, and then process and produce them themselves, and some of them have their own brands, such as Zhang's glass. Lee's glass and so on. But there are also some unscrupulous businessmen who secretly sell under the banner of Handan Glass Factory, but their products are sold to the north, because there is grassland, such things, such things, are the most precious things, it is said, the northern nomads there. I love seeing what's clear in the glass.

Of course. There are other goods sold here, such as a civilian version of a telescope. Telescopes are the most profitable, in fact, some lenses, but after processing and polishing. The meaning is completely different. The cost is extremely low, but the selling price is extremely high. Cao Cao didn't know much about these businessmen making money. He just asked around about things so he could get more information.

The civilian version of the telescope is sold for 200 republican yuan in Handan. That's two hundred dollars. But once it is sold to other places, the price can quickly rise to 2,500 yuan, and the farther the distance, the more expensive the price, it is said that when you reach the northern grasslands, the telescope can be exchanged. One hundred to one hundred and fifty good horses. This kind of news has not been confirmed, but it is enough to show that this situation is the best proof for them, and such proof will make their situation a little better.

The market is full of a wide variety of products. Cao Cao's eyes were spent. Business is very well developed here. A lot of businessmen come here in an endless stream. In their opinion, such a thing, this is their best choice.

It is a merchant's paradise. A shopping paradise. Because a lot of people keep talking about buying and selling on the streets.

Soon. Cao Cao turned to the food and snack street. There is a street here that sells food. From the south, this refers to the people who came from the imperial court, and they were not used to eating at noon, but after coming to Handan, people liked to eat at noon. To the south, this is a waste of food, because the most they can do at noon is to eat a pastry. Drink some water and deal with it.

Snacks are their favorite thing, there is a pancake thing, which is their favorite thing to eat, mainly not expensive. Two coins a piece. There are eggs, meat, and dried tofu in it, and there are more things to put in it, which is refreshing to eat and anti-hunger. Delicious and not expensive.

For some businessmen, noon is the best place for them to negotiate business, and restaurants are their best place. Inside, there are usually no absences. It's easiest to make money by opening a restaurant here.

Cao Cao came to a restaurant and chose a place on the second floor by the window to eat. The location of this restaurant is not bad, but Cao Cao knows. In front of the restaurant is the city wall, who knows, after the city wall was demolished, it became the most prosperous place, and there were already several three-story buildings in the city wall. Despite being a masonry wooden structure. But that's pretty impressive. And further afield, it is said that the houses built using cement and iron were not only tall. It's still sturdy. The construction personnel are all from the north, and they do it quickly, and there are a lot of them.

In today's restaurants, there are glass windows in the location of the windows. It was very nice to close the windows and see the outside situation.

The environment here is clean. Tidy. Because the entire streets of the IRA had to be swept every day. They have special personnel to clean up, and it is a hired system. The length of street sweeping has a lot to do with the wages of sweepers. So, they work hard. And clean and tidy. This is much better than Luoyang. The streets of Luoyang, except for the main road, are full of all kinds of dirt.

The Republican Army mainly used cement bricks. If there are no cement bricks, for example, in some small alleys. The situation is the same as in Luoyang. However, this situation will change with a series of changes. Because the Republican Army does not have royal expenses, and a lot of their government's financial funds are used for the construction of economic infrastructure, the Republican Army has started construction of many roads this year, and many large and small cement factories have been opened. But this still could not meet the huge demand for cement from the Republican Army.

The whole restaurant was full of voices discussing business, and although the merchants tried to suppress it as much as possible, there were still too many voices of discussion. Cao Cao had no choice but to drink more wine to relieve his boredom.

There are two types of wine. One is brewing by traditional methods. This kind of wine is cloudy, the degree is low, and people who drink a good amount of wine may not be able to get drunk after drinking a jar of wine. But the other kind of wine can't be drunk like this. That's alcoholic blending. This wine is first made out of alcohol and then blended with each other. This kind of wine is produced in large quantities. High degree. Of course. The price is also relatively cheap, and this wine is first supplied to the army, and then to the people.

What Cao Cao knew was that there was another important use for this alcohol, which was an important fuel for the airship, because they lacked enough fierce fire oil, they needed to burn a lot of kerosene to make the airship fly. But the amount offered by the fierce fire oil is too small. They can only use alcohol. But alcohol consumes too much, and it consumes a lot of food reserves, not too much. So, the IRA didn't advocate the use of alcohol as an important fuel for airships.

However, Cao Cao liked this wine. Because there is a lot of energy.

Looking at the busy people, drinking the wine in the glass. Cao Cao knew. There are many secrets of the Republican Army, don't look at these people are busy making money, but when making money, the Republican Army is developing, for example, the production of cement, the greater the demand, the more they produce, many come up and enter the banks not far away, they either deposit a lot of cash, turn it into a check, and then do more trade, or loans, they can open factories, of course, they also need more technicians, and most of these technicians are craftsmen, Their status and status are constantly improving. And these are quietly changing, allowing the Republican Army to have greater development. This is the biggest secret of the IRA. It's a pity that they don't live on the side of the Republican Army for long. You can't get to that.

I don't know when, suddenly Cao Cao felt that he was a person from the side of the Republican Army, he was proud of the life of the Republican Army here, he saw hope here, and he felt that if the Republican Army was in charge of the world, it might be the best choice.

"Huh." Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh to himself. He felt that the idea was strange and sometimes dangerous. He is a person who appreciates his enemies, which others dare not do, and staying here for a long time may have a great impact on Cao Cao's career. But Cao Cao didn't care about that. What he cares about is the world, and if he can govern the world like the Republican Army, he will be satisfied.

Lijiazhuang. Inside the War Department.

"This is the news I just got from Luoyang, this Jian Shuo is too much of a threat to us. If we really follow Jian Shuo's method, our threat will be very great. In particular, the impact on Handan will cause great fluctuations. Jia Xu said worriedly. The message came from Zhang Rang. Such a message is very accurate.

"Hmm." Shang Wu nodded after reading it.

"I'm also worried that the people will have such worries, but we don't have to worry, we can recruit local militia to participate in such exercises, what do you think?" Shangwu asked.

"My concern is that the situation could be tense." Jia Xu said worriedly. The exercise is not terrible, but what is terrible is that there has been a great change in Handan's commercial and economic order, and such a thing is a major move for Handan.

"Hmm. That's right, I think so. Let's go to Handan to see, how? Just you and me. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"Hmm. You want to stabilize the morale of the army yourself, right? Jia Xu asked Shangwu.

"Yes, the only way is that. We can't fight them. But I can get there and give a speech that the IRA is capable of coping with it, and that we can make an editorial. Shang Wu said.
