On the simple road outside Qingcheng City. Construction crews are inspecting their roads. This is currently the main traffic artery in Qingcheng. A large number of horse-drawn carriages, bicycles run here. The traffic is quite heavy, and the road is not paved with asphalt, so the maintenance is very intensive.

"There are too many wagons. So many wagons every day. A maintenance worker sat on the ground and said.

"It's not good if there are too many carriages, you still have work to do, if you don't want to do it, go and drive the carriage, that job. I'm so tired, don't look at them running back and forth, they're also very tired. A foreman said.

"Head, is that really that tiring? What do I think they still have to laugh at? The worker asked curiously.

"Nonsense, that's making money. You don't see that they are in a hurry when they go in, and they are happy when they come out, and they are all making money. That's why I laughed. Foolish. The foreman said angrily.

"I've done this too, but unfortunately, it's too hard, I don't have money to buy a horse, and before, I was still a wheelbarrow. Later, the road was built, and there were more four-wheeled carriages. This four-wheeled carriage is good and carries a lot of things. Run fast, too. The foreman continued.

"But it's too expensive. Ordinary people really can't do it. If I didn't have the money, I'd do this. The foreman said.

"Oh." The worker just sighed.

Qingcheng is a port city, he needs a lot of grain, and there are only two ways to solve the problem of grain, one is to transport it from the railway station in South Korea, these grains are the grain of Qin, and Qin has a large number of farms, pastures, grains, and a lot of meat from there. The other way is from the Chu State in the south, where rice is grown in some parts of the Chu State, and the rice comes from there, but it is very affected by the seasons, and the grain can only be marketed in large quantities when it is concentrated in certain seasons.

Qingcheng has a large population, and more and more people are concentrated in Qingcheng. The food problem became prominent, and in order to solve the food problem, Qingcheng built a road. Horse-drawn carriages were used directly from railway stations in Korea to transport them here, and a large number of people were engaged in horse-drawn carriage transportation, and with the spread of horse-drawn carriages. More supplies were delivered from factories in South Korea and Wei to the port of Qingcheng. From there, they are then loaded on ships and sold everywhere. Horse-drawn carriage transport is getting bigger.

Horse-drawn carriage transportation already has a special carriage company specializing in dry transportation. This is Jiaozhou's own transportation industry, and with the demand for horse-drawn carriages, horse-drawn carriage factories in South Korea have also begun to actively promote simpler horse-drawn carriages.

Sinzheng, South Korea. Lao Zhang Carriage Factory.

"The demand for this carriage is increasing, and although the train can transport it to many places, there are still some places that they can't go." Lao Zhang lowered his head and said. Lao Zhang's name is Zhang Wan. He has two sons, the eldest son is called Zhang Kou and the younger son is called Zhang Zhong.

"Daddy." The youngest son said.

"Don't call Dad, this is a meeting. We are a factory, not a workshop. Zhang Wan raised his head and corrected.

"Oh. Yes, manager. The youngest son opened his mouth and said.

Zhang Wan cares very much about the carriage factory, especially after his carriage workshop has become a carriage factory, he cares more about the word manager. Zhang Wan was a blacksmith, and he established a carriage workshop by imitating the carriage of the Qin State. With the development of the transportation industry, especially the popularization and application of four-wheeled carriages, his carriage workshop has gradually become a carriage factory, especially after he mortgaged a bank loan to open a factory, he felt that the term manager was more suitable for him. That's why he made a point of emphasizing that others call him a manager, even his own son.

"Manager. The carriages of our factory are not easy to sell, and the cost is too expensive. Isn't it easier for us, for example, to get rid of some springs or something. Qin's carriages are good, but the cost is expensive, and their carriages are all transporting people. People sit on it, and indeed they don't sway. However, our carriages are sold to those who are cheap, and the carriages they want are cheap and durable. Our carriage is expensive. The youngest son opened his mouth and said.

"That's it, Dad, no, Manager." Zhang Zhong said.

"Our factory's carriage can still fall. Bearings, let's go to Xinzheng Bearing Factory can be specially ordered, if the quantity is large, you can give a discount, spring, let's go to Zhao Guo, spring sheet this thing, not valuable, can make a lot. Other beams or something, we can use the iron beams of Zhao Guo specifically. For the rest, use wood and you'll be fine. Anyway, they don't behave as people, they do it too finely, and they don't need it at all. Zhang Zhong said.

"Big brother is right, the carriage of our factory can still fall, and when the price is lowered, it will be easy to talk. They bought more. We also build a lot, and we make a lot of money. Zhang Zhong said.

"Hmm. If you are right, do what you say. Our factory has to expand the way to make money. Only in this way can our factory survive. Zhang Wan said.

With the expansion of the demand for horse-drawn carriages, some factories promoted from processing workshops began to take the initiative to find market solutions, for example, they believe that the imitation of the Qin carriage is not very significant, the reason is that the Qin carriage focuses on comfort and durability, and the long-term effectiveness of the carriage, so the carriage of the Qin State has a lot of equipment, such as braking system, steering system, and some advanced cars are also specially equipped with turn signals, which are only available on the locomotive. And in the six countries of Kanto. There's no need for anything like that at all. These things are also expensive, but become a burden, so some factories take the initiative to reduce unnecessary things, these things can save a lot of costs, so that the cost of the carriage can be actively reduced a lot.

In fact, these are not enough, mainly, in South Korea, some factories in Zhao are able to take the initiative to produce some spare parts. These factories are the original agent of Qinguo factory to give some small orders, with the increase of orders, the accumulation of their technology, they can process a variety of spare parts, with the further processing of these spare parts, this gives the carriage price to drop has a lot of space, if there is no such foundation, the carriage is simply impossible to lower.

That is to say, without the support of such infrastructure, the cost of the carriage is still very high, because even if you want to fall, there are no basic conditions, and the industrial development of South Korea and Zhao provides such an industrial base. That's what gives them the opportunity to develop. It can be said that this is a push caused by the improvement of the general environment.
