Chapter 381: Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt, this is the name Renault gave to his car, which means that it will be as fast as a thunderbolt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The info twelve-cylinder high-horsepower engine, the sturdy body of blue stone steel and the streamlined silver shell make the whole car look like a high-tech product from an alien world.

Since there was no need to think about the rear seat, Renault added a gun emcourse that could be raised and lowered in the rear half of the body, and installed a small grenade launcher, a total of four shells, which could be controlled and fired from the driver's seat. Of course, all kinds of rifles and pistols are placed in a row in the storage box behind the co-pilot.

Underneath the steering wheel, there is a row of blue stone bottles, containing various demonic entities.

Steel, Hawkeye, Light Feathers, and Flame make the Thunderbolt look like a high-speed vehicle capable of reconnaissance in large areas, capable of firing grenades, capable of breathing fire, and like the Iron Curtain in the Red Alert.

It would be even better if he could be allowed to fly, and Renault decided to start working on airplanes after returning from the royal capital.

The Thunderbolt was followed off the production line by fifty cars with a slightly rougher appearance. These cars have small diesel engines, which are a bit less powerful than the one sold to Mario, and of course require a swing to start. Renault plans to go to the royal capital this time and sell them all by the way, so the shell has not yet been colored, and that depends on the buyer's personal preference.

In addition to making cars, the bike shop also launched its first motorcycles.

Compared to the luxury of a car, this motorcycle is as simple as an iron frame with two tires. This was made by Ferré and some of the workers themselves according to Renault's general idea, and although it had no aesthetic value, it was relatively strong. As long as it doesn't hit the wall directly, it generally won't break.

The advantage of motorcycles is that they are lightweight, they are not very demanding on the road, and they can be ridden even in the mountains, so they are suitable for hunting in grasslands or open forests, so Renault is sure that its market will be better than cars.

These are all products for the aristocracy, because this royal celebration, the nobles of the world gathered, and if they don't make a lot of money, they feel sorry for their conscience.

"My lord, I don't think fifty cars and a hundred motorcycles are enough. ”

As a legendary businessman, Hawkeye Hank has a unique vision, and he can see the value of these two goods and the huge market space at a glance.

You must know that the nobles of the entire Oro Continent add up to not one thousand but eight hundred, especially in the southern land, which is rich in products and has a large population, and a large area can create a rich-level lord. Moreover, the southerners pay attention to enjoyment, and there are many super-rich people who spend a lot of money, even more heroic than the nobles of the royal capital.

"That's it for now. ”

It's not that Renault is not greedy enough, but because of the manufacturing ceiling of diesel engines and motorcycle engines, he has to adopt this kind of sales strategy of scarcity and expensive, which makes him regret it in his heart. So he was already in discussions with Ferre to develop his own engine and gearbox. But these things have high requirements for materials, and they need to go through countless explorations and experiments, which takes time.

Hank didn't understand this, he was a professional salesperson, so he could only express regret and began to plan the sales strategy of these vehicles. So he thought of Mario, this guy's diesel car has almost soared in the royal capital, it is estimated that he has been to the streets and alleys, and this live advertisement has to be put to good use.

In the blink of an eye, the autumn leaves are yellow, the gloomy sky is getting colder day by day, and this year's winter is half a month earlier than last year.

Fortunately, Renault had expected it and had already instructed all parties to make adequate preparations, and even the grain in Tuke City had already been received in the granary, so as to avoid the recurrence of the unpreparedness last year.

Under the mineral fertilizer and new farming methods, Tuke City's grain output this year has made a huge leap, and the sorghum that could only receive only 300 catties per mu has suddenly increased to 7 or 800 catties, as well as all kinds of auxiliary crops, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc., have more than doubled compared with before.

This makes Momiji happy every day, and the faces of the citizens of Tuke City are happy.

In addition to the fact that most of the grain produced in this increase had to be handed in, the price of grain would also fall. Therefore, the past harvest years were just the harvest years of the Tuke family, and they did not have much to do with ordinary people.

But this year is different, Renault has long promised them that the surplus grain will be purchased at last year's price, and the tax will be halved, and this year they can finally live a winter without worrying about food.

What makes them even happier is that for some ordinary people with a vision for development, Renault has also given the greatest support, allowing them to "mortgage" to buy agricultural machinery, and allow them to buy their own grain, and then process it into spirits.

The recipe and process of sake brewing were not retained, and of course koji still needs to be purchased. The spirits produced can be bought and sold freely, or in bulk to the breweries in Sequoia Town.

This made Sequoia Town, which had been silent for more than a year, once again usher in a prosperous scene where various wine merchants gathered.

Although the spirits of ordinary small workshops are not as rich and mellow as Liucui wine, they are cheaper, and many merchants from as far north as they come to buy them.

Contrary to the excitement of the wine merchants, the grain merchants had a bad luck in Tuke this year, and they thought that there would be a large amount of cheap grain to buy in Tuke City, but they were disappointed to find that this year's grain was not cheaper, but also increased. This puzzled them, and many of them even temporarily turned around and started selling alcohol.

And the total tax revenue of Tuke City this year, also driven by such a business tide, reached an astonishing 3 million gold coins, which is still after deducting the various infrastructure, agricultural machinery, agricultural materials and other investments in the city hall. If you calculate it overall, the fiscal revenue of Tuke City has exceeded 10 million gold coins.

This is a figure that was unimaginable before, and the Tuke family may not be able to make a profit of 10 million in the past ten years.

Looking at the detailed report sent by Momiji, Renault felt that the economy of Tuke City had begun to embark on a virtuous circle, and the next step was to promote the industry there, so that some talented and far-sighted people could change their long-standing concept of farming, invest in the construction of small factories, produce more and more abundant goods, and revitalize the economy of Tuke City and move to a higher level.

There is also the encouragement of childbearing and the encouragement of young people to go to school for education, which is also the focus of Momiji's work in the future. Everything is good in this world, but the population is still too small.

After half a year, Pine Town has gradually taken on the appearance of a village and town. The trees harvested in summer and autumn have been piled up in the cols outside the town, and the townspeople will no longer have to drink and sleep at home as they used to do throughout the winter, but will process these trees into all kinds of exquisite furniture, paint them and transport them to the royal capital for sale.

As for Hammer City, various buildings have been completed, and there are still some auxiliary works left, and now Renault is urging more urgently, which is the railway from Black Iron Town to Hammer City. It's a big project, and it can't be done overnight, so it's great to be able to pounce this winter.

As for the bridge between the Westside Prairie and Little Wolf Castle, this requires Renault's personal guidance and the full cooperation of Black Iron Town, so Renault decided to wait until next spring to consider this matter.

After arranging everything, Renault led a fleet of ten large steam ships, and while the river was not yet frozen, he followed the Liubri River into the Nibel River and headed eastward, slowly moving towards the king. (To be continued.) )
