Chenhe Country will also lack funds and will need to operate.

In order to prepare materials for trains and ships, Yang Xi invested a large number of people in steelmaking and other research, and the finances were a little difficult.

Shipbuilding requires carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and even non-ferrous metals and alloys, and uses these things to build pipes and plates.

Yang Xi spent four months researching, and experimented with the performance of different components in several places, which was unprecedented in investment.

As for the coatings in non-metallic materials, fireproof and thermal insulation materials, lubricating oils and sealants for diesel engines, etc., it is already a small problem.

Of course, these things, each of them, require the establishment of a separate factory.

These factories will specialize in the production of accessories in the future, and they only need to transfer accessories in each factory, and the assembly is a vehicle and ship.

At the diesel engine demonstration site, Yang Xi said to Zhang Zhao: "From tomorrow, the announcement will be made to sell rail trains, human-powered four-wheeled vehicles, Chenhe boats and giant ships, in batches, and finally to the north." Within this year, half of the existing ones will be sold. It is expected that in another year, our real steel steamer will be able to be launched. ”

Yang Xi has the design drawings of the steel ship and the locomotive, and with this thing, step by step, after four months of material preparation, and the previous thirty years of steelmaking foundation, there should be no problem.

After giving Zhang Zhao's instructions, Yang Xi turned his head and said to the reporters: "Today's matter is a secret of the country, and I invite you to come here to ask you to record objectively." The sale of ships and vehicles in the next year was not a purely commercial activity, but a war, a war to bring down the enemy. I want them to buy some scrap wood and scrap iron at a great cost. Therefore, I hope that for a year, you will not report on this matter for the time being, and after a year, I will give you more satisfactory and shocking material. ”

The reporters naturally knew what Yang Xi meant, but Yang Xi was not at ease, so he had already prepared a confidentiality contract and asked everyone present to sign it, if there was a violation, it would be treason.

So next, Cao Cao went crazy, Liu Bei went crazy, and Gongsun Kang went crazy.

It's nothing to do with Sun Quan.

In Sun Quan's territory, there are no railroad tracks, no big rivers, and even the highways have just begun to be built, and at most you can carry a little second-hand four-wheeled vehicle, which is a bus in Yang Xi's territory.

Liu Bei is okay, but the upper reaches of the Bashu Yangtze River are under its jurisdiction, and there is a big Jialing River.

Liu Bei's financial resources are naturally not the same as Sun Quan's, because over the years, he has built two railway tracks in the north, south, east and west, adding up to more than 300 kilometers.

Fortunately, according to the market price, one carriage is equivalent to five thousand stone grains, and a rickshaw can pull seven or eight carriages to the sky at most.

The key is the boat, the price of this thing is very expensive, a Chen River boat, 20,000 stones.

A huge ship on the Yangtze River needs 100,000 stone of grain.

Liu Bei's Shuzhong River can't go to the big boat, so he can only take the Chen River boat, and it took a lot of effort to get enough grain and millions of stones, and enter the Chen River boat fifty.

This made Liu Bei breathe a sigh of relief.

If you build your own ship, where can you come so fast, and the cost is definitely not 20,000 stone to build.

Although all the ships in Chenhe Country are second-hand, the cost performance is not lower than that of new ships.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, was relatively stronger, dug up a lot of tombs of the kings of the Han Dynasty, obtained a lot of gold artifacts, and used gold artifacts to offset the grain.

After discussion, the Cao Cao group decided to buy 200 Chenhe ships, 100 giant ships, and 50 warships.

In this way, the Liaoxi Fleet can be doubled, and it can also have a slight confrontation with the Bohai Fleet of the Chenhe Kingdom.

But this is only Cao Cao's first plan, the plan for June.

Cao Cao plans to try his best to cultivate the fields this year, and by the end of the year, when the rice is produced, he will buy another batch.

As for Gongsun Kang, he already owed a debt to Chenhe Kingdom, but fortunately, this time the materials of Chenhe Kingdom did not specify that they must be exchanged for horses.

In this exchange, you can exchange land, grain, gold, silver, and other products, such as ginseng.

Ginseng is a specialty of Gongsun Kang, which occupies Changbai Mountain, as well as the Chao Peninsula, and what Changbai ginseng and Korean ginseng are all in its territory.

Gongsun Kang knew that this thing was valuable, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated its value. With the purchase of a large amount of ginseng in the territory and some grain reserves, it was able to buy 50 large ships, 200 Chenhe ships, and 50 warships, and its strength should not be underestimated.

A large amount of money, materials, and the Chaochen River country poured in.

By June, Finance Minister Yang Shao was going crazy.

What kind of happiness is this, this is a kind of happiness that lies at home and counts money, just he can't count it, after counting this room, there is another room at the other end that is full, and the key is the happiness that the escort car keeps delivering.

Yang Shao didn't know that this money and grain was not easy, this was the accumulation of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce over the years, more than 30 years of accumulation.

Yang Xi has accumulated more than 50 million people for more than 30 years, infrastructure in various places, and in addition, these vehicles and ships.

However, as of June, the ships sold were only the part looted from the war between the Amir Empire and the Wa Kingdom, and the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce produced it itself, so it seems that it has not been touched in the meantime.

In the first half of the year, Chenhe country obtained a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the average yield of 300,000 mu of sweet potato fields and potato fields was about 15 stones.

This item is 4.5 million stone grain.

It's horrible.

It's not that the food is terrible, but it's that these are seeds.

Eat?

Of course it's impossible, no one is allowed to eat it!

Yang Xi left 1 million stones of the 4.5 million stones for the country to plant, and the remaining 3.5 million stones were all divided and distributed to the people of the entire Chenhe country free of charge, so that they could be used as grain.

What Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Gongsun Kang, and even Fuyu Guo have jumped out of.

Sun Quan cried with joy, he had been poor for too long, and suddenly fell a pie, so it was strange if he didn't cry.

This poor child.

So the princes sent people to go deep into the people of Chenhe to make high-priced purchases.

Of course, someone must be selling it, and you can't sell it all, but you can sell a little bit.

3.5 million stones seems like a lot, but according to the number of people, it is almost 60 million people, and a person can only get less than one kilogram, and a household can only get a few kilograms.

So this thing is more expensive than gold, and some ill-informed people, or business families, will operate this thing and sell it.

Of course, this thing is not only purchased by Cao Cao and others, but also other merchants in Chenhe, who have speculation, and some who are ready to open farms, and so on.

Therefore, on the market, sweet potatoes are more expensive than gold.

This is what Yang Xi wants.

No matter who this thing falls into, it is impossible not to plant it, as long as you plant it, the goal will be achieved.

He's going to be out in the future!

After this incident, the people of Chenhe Country have a strong sense of happiness to the extreme.

What a country this is! Never before! The ruler never has to squeeze anything out of the hands of the people, you only need to be responsible for living a serious life, a happy life, and concentrating on reproduction.
