Chapter 823: Great Fortune is on Fire
"This is a garment shop!" Emperor Qiankun looked at the situation in front of him with a shocked face, where is this garment shop, the scale is not smaller than the empire's large-scale mining.
The hundreds of large houses occupy a very large area, equivalent to two or three villages combined.
"Emperor, this is the production headquarters of Da Fulai! It is newly built, there are two textile workshops, hundreds of sewing workshops, and a total of more than 3,000 employees working here...... "The local lord bent down and explained to the emperor.
This lord was extremely proud at this time, and the merchants in his territory actually let the emperor who had never gone out come in person, which was simply burning high incense.
The Emperor nodded slightly, such a scale of production sounds really amazing. But what he cares about now is the steam engine, which is absolutely important to turn the empire upside down. Mining, smelting, textile, manufacturing and other aspects can be applied, so he will come here when he has never been out.
"Let's go, let's see the steam engine!" The emperor waved his hand, and immediately the children of the Xu family ran up to lead the way, and those subordinates who were shocked by the scale of production in front of them also came back to their senses.
When they came to the textile workshop, the emperor and the others frowned the moment the door opened, and the noise of hundreds of spindles turning was too loud.
But in order to see the steam engine, of course they were able to overcome these noises. After a slight pause, the emperor walked in under the leadership of the children of the Xu family.
"These are improved spinning wheels, each with hundreds of spindles...... The steam engine is in the back...... "The children of the Xu family explained while leading the emperor backwards.
Everyone who saw this situation for the first time was dumbfounded, the emperor was fine. The people around him were stunned when they looked at the automatic spinning wheel, the speed of this spinning was too fast.
When seeing a flywheel with a steam engine spinning at high speed. The Emperor stopped, his eyes suddenly bursting with light.
Sure enough, it was as Jiang Xingchen said in the letter. The power is strong......" The Emperor couldn't help but laugh.
"How the hell did this thing turn!" the rest of the people looked surprised, they had never heard of them today, and then they understood why the Great Emperor, who never went out, would make a special trip.
"Lord Jiang has made a total of two such steam engines, and the efficiency is amazing......" The children of the Xu family continued to explain.
The steam engine that Jiang Xingchen studied was completely based on the information he saw in the previous life, and it had passed the initial stage of steam engine research, and the power was very strong, even if the boiler made for Dafuku was not high-pressure, the power was still not small.
"Yes! I, Nima, am truly convinced. Jiang Xingchen is definitely not a human being, what does he think about using a steam engine as a power. The group shook their heads and sighed, but ......
"What a good thing!" After listening to the explanation, everyone was tempted, if this thing was used in their own industry, then their own scale might be like that of Daifukulai...... It doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to use steam!
But they continued to walk back, and when they saw the boiler, they immediately knelt down. This Nima can't do it. No wonder Jiang Xingchen dared to let them visit so confidently and boldly.
The Great Emperor is not like these people, but he smiled, this is the characteristic of Jiang Xingchen, it is difficult for others to imitate the things they make. And other countries cannot imitate it. Of course a good thing for the Empire!
"It's a pity, the steam mechanism is not easy, and it can't be mass-produced for the time being......" Finally, the emperor shook his head a little greedily, and then his face turned flat. He secretly said in his heart: "I have to remind this kid that he can't give other countries a system."
The Emperor came suddenly. I walked very fast and didn't make many stops. After seeing the effects of the steam engine, he immediately returned to the imperial capital.
Since then, Daifukura's newly built production base has also been officially exposed and displayed in front of the world.
In the following days, Daifuku came to the fire, and it was even more lively than the bazaar. First of all, of course, the lords from all over the country are coming, and if the emperor who never goes out can make a special trip, there is no one who is not curious.
And Da Fulai also followed Jiang Xingchen's instructions, and did not refuse anyone who wanted to visit, and led them to see the new production base.
Just like those brought by the Emperor, the lords who came over were also stunned. Especially when I saw the big spinning wheel running on its own, I was so surprised that I couldn't speak.
In the end, they all saw the powerful steam engine, and finally knew why the Emperor himself came. This thing is worth more than the outcome of a big battle.
"We have to go back to Xingchen Ling, and we have to ask Jiang Xingchen to make us two no matter what!" someone said.
"You are not familiar with Jiang Xingchen, can someone give it to you?"
"It doesn't matter if I'm not familiar with it, someone is familiar with it, I have a pretty good relationship with the lord of Qingshan Ridge......."
Almost all the lords who have been here are wondering how to get a steam engine and use it in production. Some people asked for Jiang Xingchen, while others went to the imperial capital. The Emperor himself came to visit, and it must have portended something......
After these lords left, Dafulai was still not idle, and garment merchants from all over the country also came, including many of the four kingdoms.
has not yet entered the base, when they see this scale from a distance, these businessmen laugh bitterly, such a large production base, how can they compete with others?
"Those who stayed here to observe the news, are they all fools! They can't find out on such a large scale!" The garment merchants of the Four Kingdoms scolded in their hearts for the people who had stayed here to listen to the news.
In fact, they really blamed those people, which can only say that Jiang Xingchen and Da Fulai's secrecy work is too good!
Entering the inside to visit, these people's hearts are even more cold, the spinning wheel on their side is several times larger than their own side of the water power, and the textile capacity does not know how much.
"Is this the steam engine that generates power?" After seeing the steam engine, these people looked around the machine carefully, and they were full of curiosity about this steam-powered machine, as if they wanted to memorize every part of the machine.
Among these people, Shopkeeper Wu was also among them, and his eyes were about to pop out.
The children of the Xu family didn't stop it, anyway, Lord Jiang said that they couldn't imitate it if they were killed.
After the visit to the textile workshop, they looked at the sewing workshop one by one, the production scale of 3,000 people, and saw these garment merchants lamenting again and again...... In the end, these garment merchants left with a heavy heart, complaining about themselves one by one, what to do when they had nothing to do, isn't this adding to their own blockage!
And the children of the Xu family who sent them out laughed so much that it was called a Kaisen.
The popularity of Dafukulai's side has not ended, and then batches of merchants and nobles came to the door.
After Ruifeng, who had been cooperating with Xingchen Monthly, came to see it, he couldn't sit still at that time, so he went directly to Daqin to find Jiang Xingchen. This thing has a huge effect on the smelting industry.
As groups of people entered and exited the Daifuku base, the fame of the steam engine also spread, and it became more and more widespread, and people talked more and more about the steam engine.
"Is that thing called a steam engine really that powerful?"
"Of course, I can still have a fake when I see it with my own eyes! Go back and ask about the price, and I'll buy one too. ”
"You're in the grain business, what are you buying that thing for?"
"Grinding noodles, using this thing is definitely more trouble-free than manual and livestock......
"Saving trouble is saving trouble, but the price of the steam engine is not cheap, can you afford the cost?"
"This ...... Let's see the price then, but this thing can be used for a long time......"
Just when people were talking about this matter, the monthly magazine Xingchen was published in February, which specially published an advertisement for the steam engine, and explained the principle and function of the steam engine.
When people saw a steam engine selling for as much as 300,000 citrine coins, they all grinned! For the world's earliest machinery, this price was not expensive! But many merchants had to shake their heads and give up, they could not afford to use this thing.
But the big merchants are different, only 300,000, as long as the scale is large, it is not worth much cost, and it can be used for many years, and it will not take long to earn it back.
What they noticed was that only ten steam engines were sold each month, and that eight of them were represented by Imperial Monthly.
Almost at the same time as the publication of the Star Monthly, the Imperial Monthly was also released, and the statement of the Star Monthly was confirmed. And explain that the pre-sale will start from now on!
"Sure enough, the Great Emperor and Jiang Xingchen had an agreement before! This is obviously what was said...... It's no wonder that the Emperor promoted water rafting at the beginning, and later went to Dafulai ......"
Many smart people immediately associate a lot of things. The lords who had rushed to the imperial capital in advance all laughed.......
At the same time, the people of the Meng family who went to Daqin also saw the Xingchen Monthly, and the corners of their mouths twitched. With the price of 300,000 yuan for the steam engine, Dafulai's suit is still sold so low, and Jiang Xingchen is too rich, isn't this bullying......
On Daqin's side, the old man asked Jiang Xingchen with a puzzled expression: "Boy, you are stupid! The steam engine is a new power, isn't it a bit low to sell for 300,000 yuan? And why are you writing down the principle and function?"
"300,000 is not low, the steam engine sold abroad is generally not a high-pressure boiler, and the manufacturing process and materials used are much simpler...... Moreover, if the price is too high, the cost performance will come down, and people might as well use labor...... As for the principle and function, this must be written! When a new product is sold to others, people must know how to use it, which is equivalent to the ...... manual."
Before Jiang Xingchen's words fell, the old man waved his hand: "What is the manual? Is it used to publish it in the monthly magazine...... With what I know about you, don't do any more tricks!"
"Hehe, hehe......" The corners of Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched, and the old man said that except for hehe, there was only hehe left!
Jiang Xingchen didn't say much to the old man in the end, because a large group of ready-to-wear merchants from the Meng family arrived and began to negotiate with Jiang Xingchen.
Originally, the head of the Meng family was nervous, and if you let the family withdraw, you have to give enough benefits to the family! But they really have nothing to give. This negotiation is completely based on Jiang Xingchen's face!
Jiang Xingchen is different, he has been waiting for the other party!(To be continued......)
