In December of the 76th year of the Great Yao Calendar, the Royal Geely Tractor 4S store opened in Lancheng, and the first batch of 200 tractors officially appeared in front of everyone in the world.

In February of the 77th year of the Great Yao calendar, the second batch of 500 tractors was delivered, and at least 300 tractors went back and forth on the road from Arashijo to Izumo, transporting a large amount of iron, grain, cloth, salt, and other materials to the two places, with a total monthly transportation volume of 7 million catties.

In the past, this required more than 10,000 people and 7,000 horned oxen to transport, and countless grains and forage were consumed during this period, but now it only takes up to 600 people to do it.

It has saved more than ninety-five percent of manpower and animal power, as well as countless grains.

What is consumed is biodiesel, which can be said to be cheap compared to these.

In the case of the first batch of merchants who got tractors, each caravan originally required at least thirty or forty vehicles and more than 100 people, of which less than 20 were loaded with goods, and the rest of the cars were all grain consumed on the road.

For the transportation of 20,000 catties of goods, it takes a month for hundreds of people to go back and forth, and the personnel expenses alone need more than 200 taels of silver, and the value of grain and straw consumed on the road is nearly 100 taels.

Nowadays, only one tractor and two people can achieve the same transportation volume, and the personnel expenditure is only ten taels of silver, and the so-called biodiesel consumed, a round trip of more than 3,000 miles, about 120 liters, worth twenty taels of silver.

That is to say, a one-time investment of 1,000 taels, and then the monthly consumption is only 90 taels of silver, which is 70% lower than the transportation cost of a caravan in the past.

The most important thing is to save a lot of manpower and material resources, but also more flexible, fast, can be in a short time to transport the goods to the destination, the value of which is more important than the silver saved.

Previously, the amount of transportation received was limited, and a transportation could only transport about 20,000 catties of goods, and it was difficult to turn around when the caravan was large, and the risk was also extremely great.

Especially in the rainy season when Dayao is more than five months old, if the caravan is trapped somewhere, the losses are even greater.

Today, however, this restriction is no longer permitted, and it is easy to transport ten or even dozens of times as many goods as before.

In this way, the caravan did not only carry goods with huge profits, but also increased the variety of goods.

After all, the market for high-profit goods is limited, and when the supply and demand in the market reach an equilibrium, they set their sights on other goods.

In just a few months, commodity prices for a wide range of goods have fallen in both places.

Prices in Izumo fell in terms of meat, grain, herbs, needles, and thread, and the price of beef and grain in Izumo fell by 10% due to a large number of horned cattle and high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are both vegetables and food, became an important part of the dinner table of ordinary people in Izumo in a short period of time.

In fact, the merchants of Izumo did not look down on the profit of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the profit of five thousand catties per trip, two wen per catty, was only ten thousand wen, close to nine taels of silver.

Ten tractors made a trip from Dayao to Izumo, and the profit was only ninety taels.

However, after Ren Baqian made a statement in private, those families immediately knew what to do.

The prices of salt, cloth, tea, wine, and ironware in Lancheng also fell again.

Although the iron ore is now in the hands of the Dayao Imperial Court, there are a lot of iron tools in the Izumo people, and those merchants will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Although iron tools such as pots and knives are also valuable in Izumo, they are far from being comparable to Arashijo.

......

"Stop making rotary tillage pendants and switch to harvesting pendants. "Ren 8,000 to the first one.

"It's very easy to use, but it's too fuel-intensive. The man below said honestly.

"Yes, I see. Ren Baqian nodded.

That's right, it's too fuel-guzzling.

If the tractor is used in transportation, it is okay to use it in agriculture, and the biggest problem arises.

Although the tractor can indeed save manpower and can rotate 60 acres of land a day, the problem of fuel consumption has become the biggest problem restricting the application of tractors.

Three liters of oil per acre of land, half a tael of silver, and a hundred acres of land is fifty taels of silver, which people can afford it?

You must know that a laborer can do this for no more than twenty days at most.

Can a laborer earn fifty taels of silver a year?

Even half of it may not be earned.

Moreover, there is sowing, weeding, irrigation, and harvesting.

Therefore, after the initial enthusiasm has passed, compared with the transportation that is now favored by everyone, the agriculture that the tractor should invest in is in trouble.

Of course, this does not mean that the tractor really has no use value, but is limited by the number of acres of land and the price of oil in Dayao.

There are also horned oxen and the strength of the ancient people is also one of them.

You must know that on the earth, an ox with a strong labor force and an iron plough can only plow more than two acres of land in a day.

Here, with a wooden plough, you can plow six acres a day.

In addition, due to the limitation of the number of acres, the tractor is naturally difficult to implement.

One way to change this situation is to concentrate on large-scale farming, such as the fields that have recently been reclaimed by the Ministry of Industry.

One is to bring down oil prices, which should be limited to about 20 wen according to today's food prices.

On the earth, a pound of grain costs two or three yuan in the market, and the price of diesel fuel is only six or seven yuan, twice the price of grain.

The grain here is 8 to 10 wen, but the price of diesel fuel is 400 wen a liter, which is 40 times the price of grain, which can be regarded as a sky-high price.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to bring down oil prices in a short period of time, and the current price is almost a cost.

Diesel prices can only be brought down by expanding the scope of land that continues to be cultivated, increasing yields of oily crops such as soybeans, and improving the technology to make biodiesel.

This matter is not in a hurry.

Then Ren Baqian picked up the research progress of the new tractor and looked at it.

It's a new 50-horsepower tractor with more horsepower, more speed, and greater cross-country capability.

The progress of research is not fast, after all, due to the limitations of today's technology and technology, many of the original mature technologies cannot be used, and they need to be redesigned.

After looking at it for a while, Ren Baqian put down the information and went out to return to the palace.

When I entered Changle Palace, I heard the sound of crisp girls laughing.

Along the shade of the trees, a woman and a child in a red cloth pocket can be seen rolling on the lawn.

The woman was dressed in silk cloth and her arms and legs were pulled up above her elbows and knees.

The woman Ren Baqian is very familiar, and the LV9 in the school, the IQ is 9, and the score is 9.

These days, Ren Baqian brought her in to take care of Qi Yutian.

Although Zhuhua is full of wildness and his brain is not easy to use, he has done a good job.

At least the little guy is happy, and Zhuhua seems to be having a good time.

Ren Baqian felt that this was probably because the IQ of the two was on the same level and they had found the same kind.

Watching the two frolic, Ren Baqian's sense of accomplishment as a father filled his heart.

Especially watching my daughter grow up happily.

It's really growing up.

Ren Baqian looked at Qi Yutian, who was already one meter tall, and touched his chin and wondered, is this growing a little too fast?

It's only been six months......
