Deliberately befriending the king of the Ming Dynasty and the king of the county is not just aimed at Chongzhen.

It is also hoped that the huge royal family of the Ming Dynasty will not wait for death in the fiefdom, and can go overseas to open up new horizons, but also because they have taken a fancy to the large amount of capital in the hands of these people.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a huge surplus in foreign trade, and precious metals were still a net inflow, but a large amount of gold and silver treasures were concentrated in the hands of princes, nobles, and landlords who accounted for less than 10 percent.

On average, based on the assets of a vassal king with more than 1 million taels and a county king with property of 500,000 taels of silver, plus the general of the general town and the general of the auxiliary country, and other royal families, the capital they have may exceed 100 million.

How great is the power of capital, and the royal family will provide half of its capital for domestic investment and overseas development, how many jobs will be provided, and how many more strong ships and guns will be produced?

The Dutch were able to concentrate their capital to form the "East India Company", so why couldn't Huang Han concentrate their capital to form a "North and South American bloc" that would expand overseas?

Next, let Wu Xiang take the lead in doing such a thing, and send him to lobby the Ming vassal kings, county kings and other royal families, and bewitch the princes, marquises, and earls who are retired with the country.

The capital of the wealthy people of the big country may exceed the GDP of a middle- and upper-class country in Xiyi, and it will not be a problem to form a fleet with 100,000 guns.

In the future, it will definitely not be Xiyi's turn to rob the Han Chinese, and it is impossible to say whether it was robbed of the mainland by the "North and South American Group".

After sending away 20,000 county kings, Huang Han left two political envoys to drink tea and relieve hangover, and talk about the development prospects of "Hanjiang Province".

First of all, it is open, all merchants will be protected as long as they pay taxes according to the regulations, and foreigners will not discriminate against them when they come to trade.

Not only "Hanjiang Province" is fully opened, but also Lushunkou, Tiger's Nest City, Tianjin Wei, Hong Kong Island, Denglai Erzhou, Nantong Prefecture "Jianghai Fort", Jingzhou "Wangchuan Fort", and Xiangyang City will become open ports.

Now that the organizational structure of "Hanjiang Province" has been set up and the joint defense of armor has been formed, the next step is to attract investment and develop and encourage the establishment of industries.

Wen Tiren and Yang Yipeng were not only able to comprehend Huang Han's intentions, but also jointly stated that they would write letters to contact their protégés and former officials to lobby big capital to come to the "Red Banner Army" system, and they would also try to contact the familiar vassal kings and county kings.

As long as the king of Neijiang and the king of Huayang live a nourishing and free life in "Hanjiang Province", they will not be arrested and questioned by the imperial court for leaving the fiefdom without authorization.

Wen and Yang can be sure that within a year, there are few princes who sneaked to the "Red Flag Army" system.

Huang Han did not mind that a large number of princes and nobles came to the territory of the "Red Banner Army" system, attracting a large number of wealthy people, even if they did not come to buy real estate but to eat, drink and have fun, it was beneficial to local development.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Song Yingxing, Wang Yuqi, Shen Cunli, executive president of "Hanjiang University", and dozens of master craftsmen and researchers sent ten sample cars.

This is still the winter before last, Huang Han drew a sketch of the bicycle on a whim, and handed it to Shen Cunli and Wang Yuqi to organize the team to develop it.

It is not a problem to make bicycle racks with the steel quality of the "Red Banner Army" system, the key is that there is no rubber, and only solid tires with tung oil and waterproof cowhide and canvas can be used to wrap cork.

Cycling requires learning and practiceAs we all know, the ten sample cars sent by Song Yingxing and others should be unique in the world, and only these scientific researchers can ride bicycles, and Song Yingxing has fallen many times in order to master the balance.

Everyone didn't expect that the general of the conquest casually pushed a bicycle and rode it, Shen Cunli and Wang Yuqi were worried that the head of the family would fall, so they immediately ran forward to protect them on both sides.

What they didn't expect even more was that the general was a genius, and he might be the best rider they had ever seen.

Huang Han is full of interest, he has tried ten cars in a row, the pure handmade products are absolutely finely made, Huang Han can hardly find fault, and the spring shock absorber is also installed under the cowhide cushion, and the feeling of riding on it is almost the same as that of the bicycles of later generations.

In the future, the cavalry infantry can be equipped with bicycles, and with the infantry on bicycles chasing the cavalry, running for three days may not have an advantage, and running for ten days can definitely exhaust half of the enemy's war horses.

Huang Han said on the spot that he would set standards for large-scale production with 10 prototypes, and the army would purchase 20,000 vehicles at a cost price increase of 20,000 units, and 30% of the advance payment would be given on the same day.

The vehicle factory was led by Song Yingxing, assisted by Shen Cunli and Wang Yuqi, in addition to building factories in Seoul, Tiger Den City, and Tianjin Weiye.

Seeing that the head of the family was so happy, he immediately asked to buy 20,000 bicycles, Wang Yuqi and Shen Cunli looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

It's not that they don't have the confidence to produce so many products, but the head of the family probably doesn't know that the cost of 20,000 bicycles could reach 560,000 taels of silver.

Song Yingxing came to work in "Hanjiang Province" and became the executive president of "Hanjiang University", he was like a fish in water, although he was busy every day, he was extremely happy.

He likes to care about new things the most, and when he came to "Hangang University", he was attracted by several bicycles in research and development and improvement, and the R&D team called this new thing to walk with his feet as a bicycle.

Today, seeing that the general kept calling the bicycle a "bicycle", Song Yingxing said:

"The general's name 'bicycle' for the bicycle is very good, and it sounds much more elegant.

It's just that the general may not know that the cost of a car is as high as twenty-five silver coins now, and it is possible to reduce the cost after mass production, but it is estimated that it can be reduced by one achievement on the premise of ensuring quality.

The general is sure that the military will set 20,000 vehicles in one go? ”

Huang Han can predict that the cost of the bicycle will be very high, very simple, the cost of a self-generated gun is as high as six silver dollars, the cost of a mini gun is close to ten silver coins, and the cost of a bicycle made of steel for most of the parts will of course be very high.

Twenty-five silver dollars is equivalent to the price of a horse, which the army can afford, and the heavy use of bicycles will reduce the dependence on war horses and horses, and the cost of use will be greatly reduced.

Horses are too difficult to serve, and 20,000 horses consume so much horse feed every day. I still have to walk the horses and wash the war horses, how much work is it? The switch to the use of bicycles by mounted infantry would have resulted in significant savings in armament expenditures.

Huang Han said: "In order to ensure that you are profitable, the military purchases according to 30 silver coins per car, and the advance payment is allocated immediately, can you guarantee the delivery of 20,000 vehicles within a year?" As a reminder, Benjug requires a minimum of quality for these ten cars. ”

Thirty silver coins, the profit should be more than twenty percent, Wang Yuqi, Shen Cunli and the others were all excited, Shen Cunli said: "Return to the general, I guarantee that I can complete the task." ”
