Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

After delivering all the steam engines, Liu Yong, the captain of the guard, set off back to Hanzhong.

"Have all the steam engines been delivered to the nobles?"

In the study room of the Hanzhong Marquis Mansion, the guard captain Liu Yong was waiting for Bai Feng to come back and report the situation to him.

After Bai Feng returned to the study, he saw Liu Yong waiting for him, so he asked with a smile.

"When I reported back to Hanzhong, I have personally delivered all the steam engines to Xiahou Zhoumu and various noble clans."

The guard captain Liu Yong heard this and said to Bai Feng in a deep voice.

"Ah, very good."

Bai Feng has always felt at ease with the tasks left to Liu Yong.

Bai Feng then began to check the mine output report that Zhang Ning had sent before.

Guard captain Liu Yong did not leave the study directly at this time.

"Anything else? But it doesn't matter."

Normally, the guard captain Liu Yong would leave immediately after reporting. When Bai Feng saw Liu Yong still there, he asked.

"Forehead"

The guard captain Liu Yong was still thinking about what the Yizhou nobles asked him to convey to Bai Feng.

"In Hanzhong, when I was delivering the steam engines, about half of the Yizhou nobles asked me if I could increase the production of steam engines next month."

"These nobles all say that the number of two steam engines per month is still a bit low."

Then the guard captain Liu Yong relayed to Bai Feng.

"Two units a month is a bit too little?"

Bai Feng couldn't help but feel strange when he heard this. When a steam engine was installed a month ago, the Yizhou nobles said that it was excusable.

But now 30% of the cloth production in Yizhou and Hanzhong has begun to be sold to other states and counties.

Logically speaking, the cloth market in Yizhou should have been saturated long ago with the number of nearly a hundred steam looms.

Even if 30% is sold to other states and counties, plus the cost of manpower, material resources, transportation and storage, the profits earned by this part of the cloth for the Yizhou nobles will not be much greater than in Yizhou.

"Have the nobles said the specific reason?"

Bai Feng then asked the guard captain Liu Yong.

He was still a little curious as to why more than half of the Yizhou nobles now had a rising demand for steam engines again.

"Reporting back to Hanzhong, I once asked a Yizhou nobleman, and the nobleman told me that there was a demand for steam looms in Yecheng."

Guard captain Liu Yong replied to Bai Feng.

However, Liu Yong, the captain of the guard, does not yet know how much profit those nobles and wealthy businessmen who purchased steam looms in Yizhou and then resold them to Yecheng could make from them.

"So that's it."

After hearing this, Bai Feng understood somewhat why the Yizhou nobles wanted to buy more steam engines.

"Okay, I understand."

Then Bai Feng put down the mine report in his hand and said to the guard captain Liu Yong.

After Liu Yong left the study, Bai Feng began to think about this matter.

"I didn't expect that steam looms would be brought to Yecheng so quickly. It seems that steam looms are also very popular in Yecheng, so these nobles who transported steam looms to Yecheng for sale tried to It’s sweet”

Based on the clues provided by the guard captain Liu Yong, Bai Feng roughly understood the reason why this part of the Yizhou nobles asked Hanzhong to sell more steam engines after a little thought.

"It doesn't cost much money to transport a steam engine from Yizhou to Yecheng."

"It would cost a lot of money to transport a whole steam loom. It seems that these people should transport the steam engine to Yecheng first, and then modify the steam loom in Yecheng."

Bai Feng thought silently in his heart.

Nowadays, it is not a particularly complicated technology to use steam engines to transform water-powered looms.

Among the craftsmen responsible for maintaining steam looms, many of them in the workshops of the nobles were able to modify steam looms.

"It seems that the original plan to add a steam engine production line at the end of this year should be brought forward."

Bai Feng already has a new plan in mind.

Bai Feng couldn't just watch the second-rate dealers make money from the profits from the steam engine.

He already has a soap shop and soap workshop in Yecheng.

If you directly transport the steam engine and soap to Yecheng for sale, you will make more money.

And it’s still direct sales from the manufacturer, no middlemen make the difference!

After making up his mind, Bai Feng went directly to the R\u0026D center.

The new steam engine production line will be arranged soon, otherwise the middlemen will make more money that they should be able to make!

After arriving at the R\u0026D center, Bai Feng directly found Zhu Zhu who was leading craftsmen such as Li Tiedan, Wang Gang and Xu Dali to improve the steam train.

Geng Zhuzi was still a little confused after seeing Bai Feng.

Bai Feng just came to the R\u0026D center the day before yesterday to inquire about the improvement of steam trains. Why is he here again today?

Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the progress of the steam train's transformation?

After Bai Feng found Geng Zhuzi, he said directly to Geng Zhuzi:

"The new steam engine production line must be built in advance. You should seize the time to make arrangements."

Seeing that it was not because of the progress of the steam train renovation, Gengzhuzi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask Bai Feng:

"What is going on? Is there something wrong with the steam engines supplied to Yizhou?"

Since the sales of steam engines to Yizhou, there have been no steam engines that failed to work properly due to quality problems.

That's why Pengzhi thought there was something wrong with the quality of the steam engine.

Upon hearing this, Bai Feng commanded and smiled at Geng Zhuzhu:

"Hahaha, it's not because of the quality of the steam engine, but because steam looms are also selling well in Yecheng!"

"The sales are also very good in Yecheng?!"

After listening to Bai Feng's explanation, Geng Zhuzi was even more confused.

"Yes! Merchants from Yizhou, perhaps Yecheng, have discovered the business opportunities of steam looms in Yecheng."

"So they started to buy steam engines from the Yizhou nobles, and then they probably transported the steam engines to Yecheng, modified the steam looms and sold them at a high price in Yecheng."

Bai Feng explained clearly to Gengzhu this time why a new steam engine production line was needed now.

After listening to Geng Zhuzhu, he suddenly realized that he had been immersed in the transformation of steam trains. He really had never thought of this before.

Li Tiedan, Wang Gang and Xu Dali on the side all had proud smiles on their faces when they heard that steam engines were so popular in Yecheng.

"Instead of letting these people make profits from the steam engines, we should personally transport the steam engines to Yecheng for sale."

"So the new steam engine production line must be built as soon as possible, and I need higher steam engine output."

Bai Feng finally said to Geng Zhuzhu.
