When Luo Lan and Elle arrived at the brewery, the winemakers and workers here were eagerly awaiting.

The news that Luo Lan had a way to juice efficiently spread far and wide, and hundreds of workers in the workshop rushed to tell each other to witness the miracle of Prince Luo Lan.

The miracle that Luo Lan brought was a drawing, and he handed it to Jige, and the blacksmiths and craftsmen who had been waiting for a long time came to check it.

The drawings drawn by Luo Lan were not complicated, and there were blacksmiths and craftsmen present, so they quickly understood.

"It's ...... Turn smashing into grinding, and turning stone hammers into wooden pillars! ”

"Why didn't I think of that? It turns out that it is just a simple workaround! ”

The experienced craftsmen were amazed, they were craftsmen and naturally understood the principle of the machine.

Luo Lan smiled, this machine is actually not profound, he believes that even if he does not have himself, the craftsmen in the future can invent it, and he just shortens the time.

Many seemingly simple machines have evolved over countless years, and those who can grasp the principles in advance are undoubtedly at the peak of the times, and Luo Lan is now standing at the peak of the times—even if it is the peak of the backward era.

"You can build a juice machine according to my drawings, and everyone will work together to build it as soon as possible, and make a lot of money selling rum in the future."

"Good!"

Artisans and winemakers were excited, and the bewildered onlookers shouted, and the air was filled with joy.

Ellie, who had been standing next to her, was also confused and looked dumbfounded.

Luo Lan pulled her into the house, and then beckoned Jig to come in as well.

Giger, as the "chief" of the winemakers, is actually the head of the workshop.

"Your Highness, is there anything you want to order?"

Excited and respectful, Gig pointed at Ellie, "You know Ellie, right?" ”

"Of course I do, Elle is the goddess of our Phuket City, haha."

Gig quipped, and said that the young men were drooling as they watched Ellie.

Ellie glared: "You old man, I'll beat you up again!" ”

Jige stopped talking with a smile, and Luo Lan said: "Jige, in the future, Elle will take over the brewing workshop instead of me, you have something important to discuss with her, and she represents the prince." ”

The decision came as a surprise to Gig.

Luo Lan is the largest investor in the workshop, and he will make the most profits in the future, so he doesn't hold the workshop tightly in his hands, but hands it over to Elle to take care of it, which is similar to making Elle the princess.

And Elle didn't think about it so much, she didn't even understand the nature of the brewery, and couldn't help complaining: "Why are you so lazy, leave everything to me." ”

Gigger's eyes were about to pop out, and Miss Elle was complaining.

"Ahem, Your Highness, I understand, I will obey Miss Elle in anything."

Gig thought to himself that he would think of Ellie as a princess.

Luo Lan smiled and nodded, "Also, the juice extraction machine is confidential and must not be leaked, the juice extraction work can only be done by the most trusted workers, only by maintaining the production advantage, our rum can make the most money, and the workshop can be expanded in the future." ”

Giger's eyes lit up, and the capitalist's profit-seeking instinct began to be revealed.

"Understand, Your Highness is really a god, and Phuket Island will definitely go to the light under your leadership!"

——————

A few days later, the first juicer was developed.

Luo Lan personally came to uncover the red cloth, and the carefully selected brewers demonstrated the first wonderful juicing in front of the winemakers and craftsmen.

There were three workers in total, the first worker picked up a few sugarcanes and stuffed one end into the gap between the gears of the erected and fixed wooden posts, and the second worker grabbed the sugarcane of the probe on the other side.

The two stuffed the sugar cane in the same direction.

At this point, a third worker pushes the "power button" of the entire machine. It was a three-meter-long horizontal swing bamboo, held in the hands of the worker at one end and connected to the machine at the other.

Just as a donkey pushes a millstone, the worker pushes the machine, and the pins of gear are clamped, flattening a few canes.

Fresh and less impurities of sugar cane juice flowed into the small bucket below, but in a few moments, a small barrel of sugar cane juice came out.

This efficiency is not known how many times higher than that of the grinding disc, and most importantly, from smashing to grinding, the juice will not splash, and the impurities are more rare.

"Oh my God, there's hardly any waste and impurities, it's wonderful!"

Ji Ge said incredulously, even though he understood the principle, he was still amazed by Luo Lan's genius concept.

The rest of the winemakers and artisans were amazed that the huge machine, which still required three workers to operate, was able to propelle rum to incredible heights.

At this time, Luo Lan was very calm, others thought it was amazing, but he felt that it was very ordinary, this kind of handicraft machine was very backward in his eyes.

And after experiencing this, Luo Lan also emerged with a new worry.

That is, the handicraft industry in Phuket is too backward.

In a world without mechanical energy, handicrafts are the equivalent of heavy industry.

This is not an exaggeration, and the first industrial revolution can be used as an example.

The first industrial revolution was pioneered by the handicraft industry, specifically the textile industry, the invention of the Jenny loom profoundly changed the pattern of cloth trade, and then changed the world economic pattern, and finally triggered the explosive progress of the handicraft industry.

Those experienced craftsmen invented the steam engine without the guidance of scientific theories, and the earth leaped into the age of mechanical energy.

Luo Lan is salivating for the era of mechanical energy, but he also understands that the technology of the Nuolan Continent is not enough to liberate manpower and animal power, and this is still a semi-feudal society.

"Alchemist, you still have to rely on alchemists."

Luo Lan muttered to herself, her eyes fiery.

To quickly enter the age of mechanical energy, it is necessary to rely on scientists such as alchemists.

"Luo Lan, why are you in a daze?"

When Luo Lan was fantasizing, Elle patted him. He came to his senses and shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I'm thinking of a new policy, we have to start the handicraft industry." ”

Luo Lan said goodbye to everyone and returned to the palace with Ellie.

Subsequently, Luo Lan summoned Charles.

Charles was the diplomat who last sent to Nan Yuanling, and he is now the acting lord of Phuket City.

This ordinary-looking but courageous minister put on a robe today, and his face was calm with a slight vicissitudes of life.

Luo Lan looked him up and down: "Charles, you're not happy to be the city lord, you keep a straight face all day long." ”

Elle, who was sitting next to her, crossed her legs and said, "He's like this, when he was an envoy, I thought he was an assassin." ”

Charles was teased by the two and finally squeezed out a smile.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, I have been in the Nuolan Continent for fifteen years, and I have witnessed too many lives and deaths, but I don't like to laugh."

Charles's words were very novel, and Luo Lan poured him a glass of warm water.

"Charles, I ask you, what are we going to do next?"

Luo Lan threw all the statecraft to Charles, and he wanted to test this person who couldn't laugh.

Charles said bluntly: "The establishment of the island's trade market, the development of its own handicraft industry, textile and metallurgy are the top priorities, you can start from these two aspects first." ”

Charles was crisp and neat, Luo Lan showed an appreciative expression, he really picked up a treasure, this Charles is an amazing talent.

"Go on."

Luo Lan stood up, showing how serious she was.

Charles said: "The development of the handicraft industry is extremely difficult, and according to the statistics of his subordinates, there are not even five weavers on the island. And His Highness has blockaded the east coast, so we must increase our efforts to open up the west coast and obtain technology and talent from overseas. ”

Well, this is the strategy of "bringing in", which has also been used by New China.

"On the island, we must establish a commercial market as soon as possible to facilitate the flow of goods. This had two advantages: first, His Highness could levy a commercial tax, and second, it would make the peasants active, and as long as they sold their grain, they would naturally have money to buy clothes and iron tools, thus promoting the development of handicrafts and even animal husbandry. ”

Charles said it well, and hit it off with Luo Lan's consideration.

In fact, this is to develop a market economy, promote the marketization of agriculture, and solve the three problems of "where to sell goods, where does money come from, and where do people go."

As a big hand in macroeconomic regulation and control, Luo Lan will use the planned economy to stir up the market economy and invigorate the entire Phuket Island.

"Charles, with my decree, you order all the states and provinces to build commercial markets, allow the peasants to trade freely, and allow the local governments to levy commercial taxes, and do it now."

Luo Lan made a decision simply, and Charles's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Luo Lan in surprise.

He did not specifically say how to promote the development of industry and commerce, but Prince Luo Lan issued a decree very accurately.

The palace and the state province shot at the same time, grasping with both hands, this decree was absolutely epoch-making, and even Charles himself did not expect it.

Ai Li didn't expect it, Ai Li scratched her head and said, "Luo Lan, you let the local government collect commercial taxes?" Isn't this the little lord's set again? Beware of their rebellion. ”

"This is called giving power and delegating profits, and if the local economy does not develop, what is the use of the central government. Don't worry, there is a provincial system, and it is difficult to make trouble. ”
