2675 The old king's head buys a carriage

The old king looked at the carriage and said excitedly.

"However, can you be cheaper, you know, those of us who drive carriages, come in the wind and go in the rain, and it is not easy to get money." The old king said.

"Hmm. Also. So be it, I'll give you a deal. Two thousand nine, this is really not going to work. The salesperson hesitated. Then he made up his mind and quoted such a price.

"Otherwise, I'll buy two cars, no, discuss, you give me a sincere price." The old king said. In fact, Lao Wangtou has more than 10,000 yuan on him, which is what he borrowed from others and his own savings. Originally, he planned to add only one car, but now that the business is good, there are many places where he needs a car, and he has to add a car in order to make more money. Originally, he could only buy one car. The price of a car is as high as 10,000 yuan, and if you add the purchase of horses, the price is very expensive, which may exceed the price of 30,000 yuan. But now that the carriage was much cheaper, he could buy more.

"This. Well, two thousand seven hundred. That's the lowest price. I don't make money at the low. Old Wangtou, you've been here several times. I really want to help you this time, and that's the lowest price. The salesperson said in embarrassment.

"Huh. I know that I have no choice but to buy horses and hire people. There's no way around it. The old king said.

"Okay, two thousand seven, that's it. Keep this cart for me, and I'll buy horses and hire someone. The old king said excitedly. After adding a few cars. He can do bigger business. This kind of business is very beneficial to him, and now Qingcheng needs a lot of materials, which have to be transported by their carriages. Pull more and make more money.

As soon as the old king went out, he saw several familiar figures, and it turned out that a few old fellows who were driving with him were also in the carriage, and they bought a lot of carriages, as many as ten. The old king laughed, and he might have a better life in the future.

The wide application of iron, as well as the use of some new technologies, coupled with scientific management, promoted the improvement of production efficiency, and the efficiency of the factory promoted the reduction of prices, and the price of horse-drawn carriages fell to about 3,000 yuan a year, which was acceptable to those who drove horse-drawn carriages, and they could add more carriages at once to meet the needs of transportation.

And in the state of Qin. The Ministry of Defense is also actively counting the number of carriages to be purchased.

"If you buy a large number of such simple carriages from Korea, the purchase price is only 2,001. But if we purchase a large number of parts and components and sell them on a large scale in the Western Regions, we can buy them at prices ranging from 10,000 to 8,000. And the cost price will drop to, one thousand eight. It's very beneficial for us, and I think we can buy a lot of these wagons in Korea. Horses, the Yueshi people will solve it themselves. These wagons can effectively solve their logistical transportation problems. A lieutenant colonel officer of the Ministry of Defense said in the calculation of the cost table in his hand.

"Well, in that case, they're a good deal, and we're a good deal. If we switch to locomotives, we can earn more. A colonel officer said.

"Unlikely, sir, the cost of repairing locomotives is very high. Not only that, but most importantly, a large number of locomotives, which require a lot of gasoline, maintenance, and the cost price is very high, and they are unlikely to fulfill such a demand, so. In my opinion, locomotives are not realistic for them at all, and horse-drawn carriages may still be of some use to them. It's just that they can't be transported over long distances, they have to be divided into sections of supply depots, and then transported little by little, once such a transport mileage is exceeded. They're going to be in a very bad situation. Lieutenant Colonel said.

For the transportation of the Yueshi people, the lieutenant colonel made a detailed understanding, and the Ministry of Defense needs such a detailed document to calculate, because the carriage itself needs to be consumed. Despite the increased load capacity of the four-wheeled carriage. But the carriage consumes one-thirtieth of the weight of the cargo in the carriage. The carriage travels only 50 miles a day at most, which is the maximum limit calculation, and the average is 30 miles, in this case, the transportation capacity of the carriage is very limited. Short-distance transportation can be carried out by horse-drawn carriages, but if large-scale transportation is used, it can only be carried out by rail. But railways are expensive. This made it difficult for the Yueshi people to accept.

"Okay. That's all there is to it. This is the best transport we can give them. Hope they like it. The colonel looked at the report and said helplessly.

Qin State, in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wei Yi is making a report.

"The Yuetian government's income is only from the offensive operations of the Indians, and the most recent operation indicates that we may be in a state of trench attrition, the Indians have built a large number of fortresses and fortresses along the northern defense line they control, and we launched a small commando operation, which could have been successful, but the Yueshi army is not very suitable for such a battle. So, our assault failed. The main reason for the defeat was attributed to trench warfare. Wei Yu said.

"However, we think it's a matter of logistics and supplies. Because many weapons could not be delivered to the front line, and the finances of the Yueshi were gradually deteriorating, the Indians in front of the Yueshi seemed to have found excellent tactics to defeat the Yuetians. They dug countless trenches, and the Yueshi people could do nothing about it. Wei Yu then reported.

"Hmm." Shang Wen nodded.

"It seems that the front-line operation is entering a war of attrition, and if there is a war of attrition, a large amount of materials will be needed, and these materials will be consumed very large." Shang Wen said.

"Yes. Prime Minister, but this is also a matter of no choice, the Indians have strengthened their defenses, the Yueshi army is not very suitable for fighting in the trenches, their musketeers are still stuck in the tactics of platoon guns, and they are not used to skirmishers. Assault operations also require the replacement of weapons, and it is unlikely that they will get such a large number of weapons. So. We don't have any way around it. Wei Yu said.

"What we are thinking about is how to solve the logistical supply problem of the Yueshi people, and once this problem is solved, many problems can be solved." Wei Yi said.

"Hmm. Another financial issue. Shang Wen said.

"A barren land where we can increase their income by buying land, but for now, it seems unlikely that they will get a bigger financial solution. Can we try to resolve the matter peacefully? Shang Wen thought for a moment and said.
