Chapter 1243: Export of Soap

After Bai Feng completed the delivery of the steam loom in Yizhou, he returned to Xiahou Dun's mansion. After saying goodbye to Xiahou Dun, he returned directly to Hanzhong.

After returning to Hanzhong Marquis's mansion, Cao Jie brought Diao Chan and Cai Wenji to see Bai Feng.

"My husband, during this period of time, the construction of soap workshops has reached 24."

"When we went to Yecheng together before, my sisters said that we should sell our soap in Yecheng as soon as possible."

"Now the output of soap has increased tenfold compared to before we went to Yecheng. It can fill the entire Yizhou market and still have spare capacity to sell to other states and counties."

After Cao Jie briefly told Bai Feng about the soap workshop and the current soap output, Bai Feng smiled happily.

Then Diao Chan and Cai Wenji put the soap production and sales reports for the past two months in front of Bai Feng one after another.

While Bai Feng was checking the report, Cao Jie continued to say to Bai Feng:

"Also, there are more and more imitation soaps on the market in Yizhou now, but the quality of soaps produced by those small workshops is still much worse than our soaps."

"If our current soap production workshops double, then the manufacturing cost of soap will be 10% lower than the imitation soaps in small workshops!"

After Bai Feng's previous instructions, Cao Jie ordered the craftsmen in the soap workshop to develop more new varieties of soaps.

So the products in the soap workshop are still the favorite products of the gentry in Yizhou.

As for the soaps produced in those imitation small workshops, they are more popular with the people, after all, the price difference between the two is nearly half.

While listening to Cao Jie's story, Bai Feng looked at the soap sales and production data in the past two months.

"Well, I understand."

Bai Feng said to Cao Jie after putting down the report.

Afterwards, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji also reported to Bai Feng about the problems encountered in the production and sales of the soap workshop, as well as their handling methods.

After Bai Feng understood the entire soap workshop and all the matters related to production and sales, he felt that there was no problem with Cao Jie's management of the soap workshop.

"Very good, there are no problems with the production and sales of the soap workshop, and the subsequent construction can be developed in this way."

Bai Feng smiled at Cao Jie, Cai Wenji and Diao Chan.

Cao Jie and the other two smiled after hearing this, and Bai Feng's affirmation made them feel happy and proud.

"By the way, Jie'er, when do you plan to start selling soap in Yecheng?"

Then Bai Feng asked Cao Jie.

If he could buy a shop in Yecheng to sell soap, Bai Feng would have another channel to obtain news from Yecheng.

And the people who sell soap are all the nobles and officials in Yecheng, and they are more informed.

Establishing a channel for collecting and transmitting information through selling soap is also a very good choice.

Bai Feng has already thought about something more important to the development of Hanzhong than selling soap.

In the future, the sale of steam engines or steam looms can also be promoted through soap shops, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After hearing Bai Feng's inquiry, Cao Jie continued to say to Bai Feng:

"Now all soap workshops are working at full capacity. After this batch of soap from Yizhou is delivered, I will send people to Yecheng."

"The soap will also be delivered to Yecheng. When the time comes, we can directly buy a shop in Yecheng to sell soap."

"The first batch of customers are my sisters. I will write to them and ask them to help us promote soap in Yecheng."

Cao Jie has already planned how to sell soap in Yecheng.

Bai Feng nodded in approval of Cao Jie's arrangement.

"Okay, then do it according to your plan, Jie'er. I fully support you!"

Cao Jie nodded when he heard this. In five days, the number of soap orders from Yizhou will be produced.

It only takes one day to deliver it to Yizhou.

Next, we can arrange the sales of soap in Yecheng.

In fact, Cao Jie also planned to build a soap workshop in Yecheng. After all, the journey from Hanzhong to Yecheng is still a bit far.

Establishing a soap workshop in Yecheng can not only save the cost of soap transportation, but also produce and sell it locally, which is also very beneficial for soap to quickly become popular in Yecheng.

According to Cao Jie's arrangement, it will only take about half a month to start selling soap in Yecheng.

This speed is relatively fast, and Bai Feng naturally has no other suggestions.

The next day, Bai Feng came to the R&D center as usual.

In the R&D center, the steam engine production line has been in uninterrupted production for a month, and some problems have been encountered during this period.

However, under the leadership of Geng Zhuzi, most of these problems have been solved.

It is just limited by the number of raw materials and craftsmen. Now the factory in the R&D center can only keep one steam engine production line in normal production.

If you want to build a steam engine production line, the biggest problem at present is raw materials, that is, the problem of steel production.

The steam engine production line is becoming less dependent on the craftsmanship of craftsmen.

And students from Hanzhong schools are also entering the R&D center to become craftsmen.

Bai Feng is gradually building a craftsman training system for the R&D center using craftsmen from Hanzhong and Yizhou.

So far, the effect seems to be very good.

"Hanzhong Hou, the manufacturing of steam locomotives has made a major breakthrough!"

At noon, Geng Zhuzi found Bai Feng who was eating in the cafeteria with an excited look on his face and said loudly.

"Great!"

After hearing this, Bai Feng ate the remaining food in two or three mouthfuls, and then came to the steam locomotive factory with Geng Zhuzi.

At this time in the factory, six craftsmen including Li Tiedan, Wang Gang and Xu Dali were assembling the entire power system of the steam locomotive together.

"Hanzhong Hou, now the entire power system has been assembled!"

Geng Zhuzi introduced to Bai Feng excitedly.

Before, Geng Zhuzi and his team encountered many problems when manufacturing the steam locomotive power system, and now they have finally solved them after continuous experiments.

"Okay, hahaha!"

Bai Feng smiled and said to Geng Zhuzi while looking at Xu Dali who was adding coal to the steam engine.

After Xu Dali filled the coal, Wang Gang then ignited the coal.

With the sound of boiling water, the steam engine slowly started.

Li Tiedan was observing the values ​​displayed on various instruments to determine where there were problems in the entire power system.

"It's moving, it's moving!!!"

After a while, the steam engine drove the wheels to slowly rotate, and Geng Zhuzi said excitedly when he saw it.
