Although this supplement had only 10,000 copies, it had a greater impact than it did when it had a million copies. Perhaps the commoners could not reach it, but the reaction among the nobles and merchants could simply be described as an explosion.

Qin Manwu rushed to Xingchen Ling as soon as possible, once this agent is negotiated, it will be the largest cooperation between the world's commercial banks and Xingchen Ling, and so many businesses in the past together can't catch up with the benefits of the steam engine.

For this reason, Emperor Daqin couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep, and he waited for the news of Qin Manwu every day.

Not only the three princes came from the Moon Shadow Kingdom, but even the head of the Hua family came, and Emperor Dali even sent the crown prince to come in person. The Eight Kingdoms and the Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect also sent enough royal personnel and elders to show their respect for the Star Leader.

In addition to the people from the imperial capital, two-thirds of the lords of the major territories came, and the grand duke alone came four.

The few commercial banks on the mainland are all visited by the proprietors, and there are countless small commercial banks. For a time, the Star Collar almost became the center of the world.

Grandpa Fu thought that many people would come to buy the additional publication after it was released, but he didn't expect that so many would come. For several days, he felt his facial muscles stiffen, and a polite smile seemed to be fixed on his face.

Such a hot business must be a large amount of income, and while he is happy in his heart, he is also a little worried. Such a large number of steam engines are exported, will it have an impact on its own industry. For example, the textile industry. The head of the Xu family of Dafulai made it clear that once the steam engine is popularized, the price advantage of Dafulai in the low-end market will be gone, and the market share will definitely shrink.

Then there is the smelting industry, and in the future, Xingchenling will sell steel. Will the cost reduction elsewhere affect steel mills.

What worries Grandpa Fu the most is. With the steam engine, the speed of development in all countries will increase. If the advantage of the Star Collar is weakened, will it have an impact on future development?

He suddenly realized that there were still many things to discuss, and he couldn't do anything so important. The world's trading houses, the second prince, Moon Shadow, and Dali all want agency, how to distribute it. How to determine the price, and which levels of steam engines to sell to the outside world have no choice, so the guests are arranged. Grandpa Fu had to write to Jiang Xingchen for instructions.

When he received Grandpa Fu's letter, Jiang Xingchen was studying the steam engine and propeller with the young master of the Mu family in the shipyard. After listening to Jiang Xingchen's idea, the young master of the Mu family was like a treasure, he never thought of using a steam engine as a power to replace the sail, and the propeller was beyond imagination. In the past few days, it is said that it is research, but in fact, he has been in shock, and he is stunned at every turn.

When Jiang Xingchen took the letter sent by Han Xiaowu, he was just in time for the young master of the Mu family to be stunned.

"It's really hot!" Jiang Xingchen said lightly, and then put the letter on the table, as if he was indifferent to it.

"Sir, are we really going to sell the steam engine?" Han Xiaowu asked in a low voice. Obviously, he has the same worries as Grandpa Fu.

"Of course it's sold!" Jiang Xingchen patted Han Xiaowu with a smile and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem!"

Han Xiaowu didn't know why Jiang Xingchen was so confident, but this sentence. His emotions immediately calmed down. For so many years, as long as the lord says it's okay, then it's going to be fine. It's been proven countless times.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xingchen picked up a pen and paper and replied to Grandpa Fu. The agency was handed over to Qin Manwu, the second prince. Moon Shadow is divided equally between several families. There is so much demand in the entire continent, and the world's commercial banks can't eat it. As for the price, he asked Grandpa Fu's financial department to calculate and set the price by himself, and Grandpa Fu was better than himself in this regard.

After Han Xiaowu took the letter and left, Jiang Xingchen, like the young master of the Mu family, began to be stunned. Putting a steam engine on a ship is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, it is a conduction system, and the ship is made of wood, first of all, you have to consider the force aspect, and secondly, you have to consider the airtightness.

If you use the paddle wheel of the earliest days of the previous life, it is like pressing two large wheels on both sides of the ship, which is very simple. But that doesn't do much to increase the speed of the ship.

If steel is used, it is equivalent to recreating a new ship, and the structure must be redesigned to ensure that the displacement volume is greater than the weight of the hull, and at the same time, it will also involve the problem of materials, and in a short period of time, it will not be possible to build it at all, and steel and wood will be combined, and the interface part will be even less solid

While Jiang Xingchen and the young master of the Mu family were meditating on each other, his secret enemies were also active. Overseas, off the coast of Mandan Island, a large black ship is heading towards the westernmost port of Mandan Island.

At the bow of the boat, Aura and An Shizi held the railing and looked into the distance. Ola's face was solemn, but the expression of An Shizi was very relaxed.

"Are you sure we won't run in vain, the Nangong family will agree to join forces with us!" Ora asked suddenly.

"The manufacturing technology of the Wuwei ship, the steam engine, and the cannon! Did they refuse these three things, and we still have Qingjiao, which can completely solve the air threat Mandan Island was bullied by Jiang Xingchen like that, I don't believe they don't want to retaliate!" The young master of the An family replied with a smile.

"I hope so, when I met Hei Lang, Jiang Xingchen must have already known the news. Our details have been leaked, if this trip doesn't work."

"Master, it's not a bad thing to run into Hei Lang! Our ship has never appeared here, Jiang Xingchen will definitely guess where the forces are, when he learns that we sell the steam engine and cannon to all forces, not only will he be more suspicious, but also have to take into account the threat of other forces, with the cannon, the defense of the star leader is no longer an ironclad threat, the threat from the major forces, the threat of frogs, and our mysterious ship, the longer the time, the more energy involved in him, we can earn a large number of yuan stones from it, and prepare for the next plan."

Before the words of An Jiashizi fell, two eagle chirps came, and a sea eagle landed on the bow of the boat, with a cylinder on its talons.

"There's news!" An Jiashizi smiled, reached out and pulled the cylinder off the eagle's leg, and took out a letter from it.

"Huh?" opened it to watch, and the son of the An family couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"What's wrong? Is there any bad news?" Ora asked, the words on the paper he didn't recognize.

"I didn't expect Jiang Xingchen to take the lead!" The son of the An family crumpled the letter into a ball and narrowed his eyes.

"What's the first step?"

"Jiang Xingchen has let go of the steam engine business! An family said.

Aura frowned and said, "Is Jiang Xingchen's reaction so fast? can he actually judge that we will sell weapons and steam engines, could it be that he has already linked the matter of attacking Hei Lang with us!"

couldn't help but feel a layer of cold sweat oozing from Ora's back, and the feeling that Jiang Xingchen gave him was getting deeper and deeper and more unfathomable. (To be continued.) )

PS: Ah~~~~ I'm going crazy, I thought I could write three thousand, but I went out to work in the afternoon, and I came back at three o'clock!
