The first to find that the production raw materials were insufficient, it was the Youzhou branch.

The reason was that the previous negotiations between Kebineng and Budugen broke down, and there was no plan to jointly wage war against Great Wei after reaching a union.

After this, Kebineng had to accept the reality that the Xianbei people were no longer capable of resisting the rule of the Great Wei.

Since you can't fight, let your subordinates enjoy some more time.

So Kebineng sent a letter to Cheng Yu who was sitting in Youzhou again, asking to expand the scale of the mutual market between Xianbei and Dawei again.

After Cheng Yu received the letter from Kebineng, he naturally agreed to Kebineng's request to expand the scale of the mutual market.

Anyway, the more grain and cloth Xianbei bought from Great Wei, the fewer horses, cattle and sheep Xianbei had.

After the scale of the mutual market between Kebi Energy Department and Dawei expanded again, the demand for various materials of Dawei also gradually increased.

This has brought a lot of pressure to the production base in Youzhou.

Therefore, the shopkeeper of Youzhou Zhao was very excited after discovering that the 80 graduates of the Hanzhong Vocational Training School who came from Hanzhong all had the ability to manage the production base.

With the full assistance of Zhao's shopkeeper, the speed of these 80 graduates to build a production base in Yizhou can be said to be the fastest batch of graduates in the same period.

Even the graduates of the Yizhou branch were left behind by the graduates of the Youzhou branch.

Just after the graduates assigned to Youzhou watched the built production base start to put into production, and they officially became the person in charge of the production base, the problem appeared!

That is, the mining of raw materials for production in Youzhou can no longer keep up with the manufacturing speed of the production base.

Previously, because the post station system had not been upgraded and the transportation capacity was limited, Zhao Shopkeeper was not aware of the speed of raw material mining at all.

After the completion of the upgrading of the post station in Yizhou, the transportation efficiency of production raw materials has increased, but the number of production bases has not yet increased to the extent that the supply of production raw materials cannot be reached.

It was not until the completion of the 80 production bases of the Youzhou branch that the problem of insufficient production raw materials was finally exposed.

After discovering this problem, the first thing that Zhao thought of was to increase the manpower for the mining and transportation of raw materials.

It's just that the shopkeeper Zhao spent a lot of effort and did not recruit enough people, mainly because the people who were willing to work in the Youzhou branch had already entered the newly built production base......

Originally, the population of Youzhou was not very large, and now the shopkeeper Zhao suddenly faced a situation where no one was available.

So Shopkeeper Zhao communicated with Shopkeeper Liu of the Bingzhou Branch, but due to the current household registration management policy, the people could not go to other counties at will, so Shopkeeper Zhao did not get much support from the Bingzhou Branch.

When Shopkeeper Zhao was troubled by the shortage of manpower in the Youzhou Branch, Shopkeeper Chen of Yizhou also encountered the same problem as Shopkeeper Zhao: the mining speed of raw materials for production was too slow!

However, Yizhou still had plenty of manpower, and Mr. Chen quickly recruited a group of people to help mine and transport raw materials for production.

However, a new problem has arisen, that is, the horses in Yizhou are so tired that they are foaming at the mouth.

In recent days, many post guards have come to the Yizhou branch and told the shopkeeper Chen that if this continues, the horses of the Yizhou post station will be tired, and now they must reduce the volume of transportation, so that the horses of the post station have time to rest and recover.

So Shopkeeper Chen immediately sent a letter to Lin Chuan, explaining the matter of the Yizhou branch clearly, hoping that Lin Chuan would mobilize a group of horses from Youzhou for Yizhou.

The shopkeeper Zhao of Youzhou also sent a letter to Lin Chuan at the same time, explaining the problem of insufficient manpower in Youzhou.

Only the Yecheng Branch, with sufficient manpower and horses, not only did not encounter the bad things of the Youzhou Branch and the Yizhou Branch, but after the newly built 60 production bases were put into production, the commodity output of the entire Yecheng Branch increased greatly.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Hanzhong.

Lin Chuan was waiting for Liu Ba to report the situation from the Yangzhou branch, but he didn't expect the report from the Yangzhou branch to arrive, but the letters for help from the Youzhou branch and the Yizhou branch arrived first.

After Lin Chuan carefully read the letter from the Youzhou Branch, he felt that the problem of the Youzhou Branch needed to be solved first.

If the manpower problem of the Youzhou branch is not solved first, Shopkeeper Zhao will not have the energy to transport horses to the Yizhou branch.

So Lin Chuan first wrote back to the shopkeeper Chen of the Yizhou branch, briefly mentioning the problems encountered by the Youzhou branch, and asked the shopkeeper Chen not to worry, and when he solved the problem of the Youzhou branch, the Yizhou branch would immediately have horses available.

As for the problem of mining raw materials encountered by the Yizhou branch, Lin Chuan can help solve it, and Lin Chuan does not have a good way to solve the manpower problem now.

If it were in another five years, after the population of the Central Plains exploded, Cao Cao would definitely agree to emigrate to Youzhou out of demand for land, but it was still a little early.

To solve the problem of low raw material mining efficiency of the Youzhou Branch, Lin Chuan now has a ready-made method, that is, explosives blasting!

At this stage, the most lacking raw materials for the production of the Yizhou branch are various minerals.

The most important thing to open a mine is manpower, but if you have explosives, you can save a lot of manpower.

After liberating this part of the manpower, it is just time to arrange them to do the work of transporting raw materials for production, so that the two major problems of the Youzhou branch can be solved at one time.

After Lin Chuan thought of a solution to the problem of the Youzhou branch, he soon came to the mine factory.

In the mining factory, Master Lu saw Lin Chuan's arrival again, and he was ready to report to Lin Chuan about the recent production situation of the mining factory.

However, Lin Chuan did not give Master Lu a chance to report, but went directly to the mine with Master Lu to see the effect of explosives mining.

The blasting team on the mine immediately cheered up when they learned that Lord Hou of Hanzhong had personally come to the mine to see the results of their blasting operations.

Whether it is drilling, burying explosives, or finally detonating the work, the entire blasting team has carried out a smooth process.

With an earth-shattering bang, dust flew above the mine.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Lin Chuan saw the results of the work of the blasting team and nodded with great satisfaction.

Then Lin Chuan verbally praised the work of Master Lu and the blasting team of the mine factory.

Under the farewell of the blasting team of the mine factory and Master Lu, Lin Chuan left the mine factory and came to the R&D center.

After Lin Chuan came to the R&D center, he directly found Chen Yuan, who was improving the production process of glass mirrors.

"Master Chen, take me to see the explosives making workshop!"

"Okay, Lord Hanzhong, please come here."

Chen Yuan saw that Lin Chuan's expression was in a hurry, so he didn't have any other nonsense, and directly took Lin Chuan to the explosives making workshop.
