"If you build a bigger market, how can there be so many merchants?" Yan Liben asked.

"Hehe, this question is to the point, if the restaurant next to it is better and the inn is more comfortable, where would you like to go? Merchants are shrewd and will not fail to see the benefits, so they not only have to sell, but also sell expensively, in advance. Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"How do I sell in advance?" Yan Liben was like a compliment, and every time he asked Feng Daiwen's ideas.

"The so-called early sale requires Yan Shilang to first make a model of the overall market, which should be exactly the same as the market that will be built later, and then invite everyone to watch, introduce the benefits, let them buy it, and all the internal design can be done according to their requirements." Feng Daiwen explained.

"Wonderful! In this way, the merchants must be willing to pay upfront, so that the court does not need to spend too much to complete the construction. Yan Liben immediately understood the advantages when he heard this, and high-fived him in admiration.

"Spending money? Who said it was going to cost money? It is particularly important to make a big profit, all house prices are increased by five times in cost, which must be calculated first, and the location, and the location will be doubled. Feng Daiwen looked at Yan Liben like a fool, if he can't make a lot of money in real estate, but spends money, it is simply a failure, and this is the operation of a state-owned company, if it fails, then Feng Daiwen can only be regarded as an idiot.

Yan Liben was sweating profusely when he heard this, and then he realized where the focus of his work was.

"Master Hou, people can afford such a price!" Listening to their discussion on the side, Qingyun said dumbfounded.

"Of course, the house doesn't need to be so high, if it is the compensation for eviction, it will be doubled, and if others want to buy, it will be tripled, and installments are allowed, such as how much to give every year, ordinary people do not count interest within five years, and others can use a very low interest." Feng Daiwen explained.

"Lord Hou is benevolent, so although the price is a little more expensive, the people will definitely be willing to buy a new house." Qingyun said with one hand a Taoist salute.

"The Taoist chief has won the award, and the court has to make money on this matter, it's nothing." Feng Daiwen smiled and waved his hand.

"Master Hou, you are busy first, go to the field to take a look, and make a model as soon as possible." Yan Liben saw that he understood the matter almost well, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

"Good! Yan Shilang, please! Feng Daiwen has always attached great importance to this kind of pragmatic official, and he got up to see him off.

"Master Hou, please come with me and see the good things we make." After Yan Liben left, Li Chunfeng and the others couldn't help it, so they took Feng Daiwen to the backyard.

"What is this?" Feng Daiwen looked at the things in front of him and was stunned, only to see a steel machine three zhang long and one zhang high appearing in front of him, dark iron, reflecting dark light, like a monster crawling in the main hall.

"This is made according to the principle of steam you mentioned, this is the third machine, the first two can't be used to destroy the furnace." Li Chunfeng said excitedly.

"This already works? How much strength? How long can you work? Feng Daiwen felt very incredible, he was really made by them, and hurriedly asked.

"This is a gathering of more than 300 people in half a year to make, it can be used, but there are still many problems to be solved." Li Chunfeng heard Feng Daiwen's question, and replied with a lot of enthusiasm.

"Let's talk about the problem." Feng Daiwen asked as he circled around the machine.

"Ahem! There are still many problems, the power is not strong enough, now even the stone mill next to it can not be moved, there is also air leakage, a lot of gas will leak from the interface, which is also one of the reasons for the lack of power, and this machine is too big, consumes too much steel, and I don't know if it is suitable to make it. Li Chunfeng said with a little confidence wavering.

"Take your time with the power problem, you can make the current sample, it is very surprising, as for the air leakage, have you considered using glue to make a mat at the interface, as for you said it is useless, this is not to worry at all, and when it is really made, you will find that its power is very strong, so it is worth spending more steel." Feng Daiwen explained one by one.

"But we used many kinds of glue to achieve a complete sealing effect, often it didn't take long to crack again, and such a large machine installed there, if it was just a mill completely unnecessary, we have hydraulic enough." Li Chunfeng asked with a headache.

"The boat is installed on the ship, think about being able to move fast without sails, running day and night, and as the technology matures, it will have more power and the machine will be more compact, think about it! If you install a small one on the carriage, you can run like a fly without a war horse, and you can never stop breathing. "Feng Daiwen described a bright future to them.

With Feng Daiwen's words imagining, Li Chunfeng and the others smirked with shining eyes, obviously obscene.

After waiting for a while, Qingyun, who had the best concentration, shook his head and came back to his senses and asked, "But what about the sealing problem, fish glue and bone glue have been tried, but it is useless." ”

"First of all, you shouldn't use seals, because even if the seal is good, with the shaking, it will break off, but it should be made into a mat and placed at the interface, as long as it is pressed tightly, it will not leak, I remember that the eucommia ulmoides tree can make the best glue, which can be used to seal, you can try it."

Secondly, experiment with a few more methods, adjust the size of the gear, find out the maximum power in the same situation, and find more people to participate in the research together, as long as there is this one invention, I guarantee that you will leave an indelible mark in history. Feng Daiwen encouraged.

"Thank you Lord Hou for mentioning it, we will definitely work hard to make a practical machine." Qingyun and the others said firmly.

"I believe that you will be able to do it, and when the time comes, you will find that it is so useful that you can't imagine it, and it will become an epoch-making thing, which is equivalent to you opening a new era, you must do your best, and everything else can be postponed, and when the time comes, the official will guarantee you a knighthood for each person." For the epoch-making significance of the steam engine, Feng Daiwen is very clear.

This completely represents the human race from the age of handicrafts to the age of machinery, and steam cars, ships, and trains will also appear, which means that the control of the state will reach an unprecedented extent.

According to the previous standards, even if it was fought down in a wide area, it was actually difficult for the central government to reach the frontier, and the strongest place to control a country was the range that could be reached by riding a horse for a day

, called the central government.

You can ride a horse for three days to something that is under the control of the central government, and usually anything in these places can be dealt with quickly.

If it is a place that can only be reached in half a month, it already belongs to the border pass, and it is generally guarded by heavy ministers, if it can only be reached in a month, then it can only rely on officials, and if the officials are not loyal, it basically belongs to the independent kingdom.
