Chapter 866

Gu Jiu put down his tea cup and looked at Huang's son-in-law. "How many civilian husbands and chariots do you need to recruit and send to the northwest front line when the Shaofu and Hubu transport materials?"

"This..." Huang's son-in-law is hesitant.

Gu Jiu doesn't need Huang's answer.

She went on to say, "I made an account for the Ministry of finance. Before Sanhe express was established, to organize a war of 50000 troops, at least 200000 civilian soldiers and 100000 chariots and horses were required. Even though there are so many civilian drivers and horses, the army still can't get timely supplies.

Is it the civilian husband who steals and plays tricks and refuses to contribute? The Ministry of food and materials will not be sent in time? Is it the weather? In my opinion, these are the factors that affect material supply, but they are not the main factors. With the hard work of the civilians and the due diligence of the officials of the Ministry of household affairs, the weather is fine, and there will still be cases in which materials can not be delivered to the front line in time. "

With that, Gu Jiu takes a pile of thick information from Xu Yousi.

She said to Huang's son-in-law: "I have made a new statistics on the relevant data of the past 100 years, large and small wars, and material allocation. Materials can not be delivered to the frontier in time, and the army can not get supplies in time. 30% of the reasons are due to officials' dereliction of duty and weather. 70% of the reason is from the speed of transportation. "

With that, Gu Jiu puts the information on the table, indicating Huang's son-in-law, and Huang Qubing to read it.

She said to the father and his son, "you can give this information to your majesty. On the data, the data are clear and can be seen at a glance. In the past, it took at least one and a half months to transport goods and materials from the capital to the northwest and collect 200000 civilian men and 100000 chariots and horses.

For the longest time, because of the continuous rainstorm, it took nearly three months for the civilians to transport their grain and grass to the front line. At that time, the army suffered heavy casualties and had to kill horses to save their lives.

However, the most tragic time was 30 years ago, when the army went deep into the grassland and could not keep up with the supply, 20000 soldiers and horses were buried in the prairie, and the corpses of these soldiers and soldiers have not been recovered. This year, the situation has improved. Sanhe Express has been set up and cement roads have been built, which has shortened the transportation of grain and grass by 10 days.

But, you two, don't rush to be happy. According to our initial budget, the delivery time can be shortened by at least half a month. However, no matter how hard we try, we can only shorten the time by 10 days at most? Is it the people who are lazy? Not me. The fundamental reason is that our transportation means are too traditional and backward. In a war, there is material, money, and time. How can I win Beirong in time? Have you considered it? "

Huang's son-in-law is sweating.

Huang Qubing is thoughtful.

Huang's son-in-law turned over the information and was frightened.

Gu Jiu gave the information, the data is detailed, want to refute seems to find no reason.

Gu Jiu gently taps on the table to attract their attention.

"The traditional two wheeled carriage can't carry more than 300 Jin," she continued. If the load is too heavy, more horses are needed to pull the cart, and the horses need to be fed with soybean grass. The cost of feeding increased greatly.

However, the biggest drawback of two wheeled carriages is that they can't be soaked in water and get damp, and they can't travel normally on rainy days. Traditional carriages and wooden wheels, no matter how good the wheels are made of wood, will become heavy and difficult to drive after being washed by rain. I have done a statistics, transportation of grain and grass in rainy days can only walk 10 miles a day at most.

You heard me right. It's only ten miles. On this information, I made statistics. On rainy days, the road is muddy, and the wheels become heavy with damp, which makes them easy to get into the mud. In addition, it's impossible to make a fire in rainy days, so the civilians can only eat dry food. When they are cold and hungry, they have to go on the road. They have exhausted all their strength to walk ten miles. "

"The northwest is dry!"

This word Huang son-in-law blurted out, and then suddenly stopped to let himself appear too stupid.

Gu Jiu chuckled and said, "it's true that the adults at home are right. The northwest is dry. But don't forget, it snows in the northwest in winter. The snow melted, the ground was muddy and wet, and the wooden wheels were running in this weather. It was killing me. It's very common that the wheels get bogged down in the swamp.

Have you ever thought about how many wars happened in winter? I tell you, 70% of wars are in winter. Maybe the war will start again this winter. At that time, the cavalry will go deep into the prairie and transport supplies by two wheeled wooden carriages. Are you sure you can supply the cavalry with grain, grass, weapons and herbs in time

The head of Huang's son-in-law is big.

Gu nine shallow smile, "home to adults do not have to worry. All the problems can be solved by the carriage. The sick man just said that the space of the four wheeled carriage is twice as large as that of the two wheelbarrows. The same number of horses pulling the cart can double the weight of materials. And not affected by rain weather, do not worry about the wheel damp can not run. Even if the carriage reaches the prairie, it can still run. "

Huang's son-in-law is dizzy. He is fooled by Gu Jiu and can't find the north.

"The carriage, indeed, can solve all the problems?"

Gu Jiu pushes the information forward, "the family order takes this information with him, as well as the carriage that stops in the backyard, and enters the palace to face the saint. Your majesty asks you, all questions will be answered by the sick childe on your behalf. You don't have to worry about your Majesty's blame. If your majesty wants to punish him, he will also punish him and my wife. "Huang's son-in-law rubs his eyebrows and his head is still dizzy.

"Madame Zhao continues to chat with the dog. I'll go to the next door to have a cup of tea."

"You may go at home."

Huang's son-in-law got up and left the ward.

Huang Qubing was excited to ask: "how to operate, please madam express."

Gu Jiu said in a low voice: "if you want to persuade your majesty that the large-scale production of four wheeled carriages is far from enough. After all, the court did not fight every day, nor did it need to transport food and supplies every day.

I'm going to set up a transportation company, with the Shao Fu holding 30% of the shares. The cost of the carriage can be reduced to 12 Liang if it can be produced in large quantities. With the improvement of the process, the cost can continue to be reduced.

The carriage is divided into four grades, and the price of the standard version is tentatively set at 321. The price of the comfortable version is set at 421, the price of the luxury version is 621, and the price of the supreme luxury version is 1221. This price only includes the car body, and the horses are charged separately.

My wife's horse farm in the northwest will provide a complete set of horses, from ten Liang's long horse to a thousand mile horse worth thousands of dollars. However, horses do not belong to transport companies, the relationship belongs to strategic partners. In addition, we can cooperate with the horse administration in the sale of horses to provide income for the horse administration and the court. It is preliminarily estimated that the sales of four wheeled carriages and horses will bring about millions of taels of income to Shao Fu and Ma Zheng every year. "

"Are there millions of taels of income a year?" Huang Qubing was surprised.

If there is such a profit, it will be very simple to persuade wendetti.

Gu Jiu nods heavily.

She waved at Huang Qubing.

Huang Qubing approaches.

Gu Jiu quietly told him, "in fact, the cost of a four-wheel carriage is less than 12 Liang silver. If you know it well. If the establishment of a transport firm, I will carry out a public offering, and strive to wipe out all civil and military officials, rich and noble families. I don't believe that there are still people in the court who dare to oppose the promotion of the carriage with four wheels in front of me. "

Huang Qubing is dark.

Gu Jiu also said: "this time, both the north and the South should take care of it. In addition to transport companies, iron mills will also conduct a share offering at the same time. In the future, the iron smelting workshop will split up and the shares will be expanded again. All iron mines in the world, all iron mines under the name of Shaofu, can be covered by iron smelting workshops. The purchase of iron ore is a considerable income for the Shao Fu. "

Huang Qubing's heart beat violently.

It's too big.

All iron mines in the world should be covered!

Oh, my God!

How many wagons will be produced?

Can the whole world consume so many wagons?

"The size of the western regions is far greater than we imagined. There are countless countries, countless populations, countless nobles, rich people. How much do you think is the right price for the luxury edition of the carriage if it can be sold in the western regions one day? "

Gu Jiu suddenly shifted the topic to the western regions.

Huang Qubing tried to say, "eight hundred taels?"

Gu Jiu shook his head, "at least two thousand Liang."

Boom!

The price of two thousand Liang bombed Huang Qubing's head.

"Two thousand taels for a car body alone?"

"Don't you believe it?" Gu Jiu seems to smile.

Huang wubing is speechless.

Why a carriage is expensive depends not on the body but on the horses.

At that time, the carriage was so expensive.

Huang Qubing really doubts whether there is a million Liang profit a year.

Gu Jiu took a cup of tea and took a sip. "Have I failed in my projects these years?"

All right!

Huang Qubing was completely admired.

A small Wenqing bookstore can make hundreds of thousands of liang of profits a year. What's impossible.

Gu Jiu is not exaggerating if he wants to make the world's iron mine a success.

In her plan, the current mining of iron ore is far from meeting the demand in the future.

Do you really think she spent so much money in the iron smelting industry just to make a carriage?

It's so silly and naive.

The technological innovation of iron smelting industry will lead the whole society to stride forward.

The steam engine will not be a dream.

Steel shipbuilding is not a dream.

Bicycles, maybe one day, will become the standard equipment of every family and the favorite in the marriage market.

Watch industry may also emerge as the times require.

All in all, the improvement of technology and means of production makes everything possible.

Of course, it's all about the future.

At present, we have to find a way to persuade vanderty to agree to mass production of four wheelbarrows.

Only by speeding up the slow life can people have more desires and needs.

With desire and need, everything will be possible.

Gu Jiu asked Huang Qubing, "do you know how to persuade your majesty?"Huang Qubing is under great pressure.

Persuading your majesty to agree to a certain project and doing it for the first time is not an ordinary pressure.

"Why don't you go into the palace with your wife?"
