Chapter 1378 Let’s Do It

After the Youzhou nobles united with the Liangzhou and Yongzhou nobles, the soaps in the workshop were loaded onto carriages and prepared to be shipped to Liangzhou and Yongzhou.

The number of this batch of soaps has reached about 20,000, which is enough to sell in Liangzhou and Yongzhou for a period of time.

It can allow the Youzhou nobles to recover part of the cost and expand the scale of the Youzhou soap workshop.

The Youzhou nobles, who finally opened up the soap sales, are celebrating in Liu Yan's mansion.

Time seems to have returned to the night before they were about to sell soap to the Xianbei.

Everyone's face was full of smiles.

"Everyone, cheers for our victory!"

Liu Yan's face was flushed at this time, and he looked a lot younger.

He raised his glass and said loudly to the nobles around him.

"Cheers!!!"

All the nobles raised their glasses.

After half a month of communication and tug-of-war, the Liangzhou and Yongzhou nobles finally agreed to invest in the Youzhou soap workshop.

For Liu Yan and others, this not only successfully sold the soap they had hoarded, but also took the opportunity to pull the nobles of Liangzhou and Yongzhou onto their chariots.

In the eyes of the Youzhou nobles, they are about to usher in spring!

A lot of silver is waving to them.

"In front of the governor, even the Marquis of Hanzhong has become helpless, hahaha!"

A drunken Youzhou noble put down his wine glass and couldn't help laughing loudly.

The other Youzhou nobles were stunned after hearing this, and then they all laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, it's so right, even if it's the Marquis of Hanzhong, what can it do?"

"He can make us in Youzhou, as well as the nobles of Liangzhou and Yongzhou. Are willing to give up the fat meat at our mouths?!"

Another noble echoed loudly.

"If it weren't for the governor's clever plan, we would still be trying to sell the soap in our hands to the Xianbei people."

"With the governor's advice, we know that we were not forced into a desperate situation by Hanzhong Hou, but we can do a lot if we take a step back! Hahaha!"

For a while, the whole mansion was filled with laughter.

Half of them were praises for Liu Yan, and the other half were disdain for Bai Feng.

Your move, Hanzhong Hou, was really powerful, and directly made us lose the Xianbei market.

But now we have the markets of Liangzhou and Yongzhou, which are even larger than the Xianbei market!

And the gentry of Liangzhou and Yongzhou are ready to invest in the soap workshop of Youzhou!

It's good to make money together, but we, the gentry of Youzhou, are not like you, Hanzhong Hou, who make this money. What can you do to me now? !

Today, the gentry of Youzhou can be said to have finally escaped from the shadow of Bai Feng, and no longer have to worry about Bai Feng continuing to use any means to make their soap workshop lose all their money.

Facing the strength of Youzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou, as well as the interested gentry of Bingzhou and Yanzhou, the gentry of Youzhou and Liu Yan were full of confidence at this time.

They didn't believe that Bai Feng could still do anything to stop them from making money through soap.

At the same time.

In the study of Hanzhong Marquis's Mansion, Bai Feng was telling Cao Jie about his next plan.

Since Cao Jie had dealt with the problem of small workshops imitating soap last time, let Cao Jie deal with it this time.

Bai Feng was no longer interested in such things that could make a big splash.

Because he felt a little tired of it.

"Jie'er, although we currently have no way to keep the soap in Youzhou from being sold."

"But in addition to soap, we have another way to put more pressure on the gentry of Youzhou!"

Bai Feng said to Cao Jie very confidently.

Since he turned his attention away from soap, Bai Feng's pattern has also opened up.

What made the gentry of Youzhou and the gentry of Liangzhou and Yongzhou unite was, to put it bluntly, the huge profits brought by soap.

Liu Yan and other Youzhou nobles thought that Bai Feng had nothing else to play except the soap card.

This is still too much of an underestimation of Bai Feng.

What really represents the industrial level of Hanzhong is not soap, nor the steam locomotive that cannot be mass-produced now, but the steam engine!

Now in the R&D center, the two steam engine production lines can stably produce 320 steam engines per month.

One-third of these steam engines are sold in Hanzhong, and the remaining two-thirds are sold to Yecheng and Yizhou respectively.

Because the steam engine has been continuously improved in the past two years, today's steam engines are more durable and easier to repair than those manufactured before.

So even though the cost of producing steam engines has dropped by more than 30% for Bai Feng, the price of steam engines has not changed much.

In other words, Bai Feng has made an extra 30% profit out of thin air just through continuous technological innovation!

Facing the united Youzhou nobles, Bai Feng is finally going to use the steam engine as a killer!

"In fact, according to the steam engine production technology of the R&D center and the demand for steam engines, more factories could have been built to produce steam engines."

"It's just that I have focused on the manufacture of steam locomotives, the production line of explosives, and the development of Yamatai over the past year."

"There are not many arrangements for the steam engine production line."

After Bai Feng finished speaking, Cao Jie had some idea of ​​how he would make the Youzhou gentry, Liangzhou gentry, and Yongzhou gentry pay for their actions.

"So now I want to use steam engines to open up new markets!"

"And I will write to His Majesty about this matter. It is related to the future textile development of Wei, and the court must also give some support."

"And if the gentry want to invest in the newly established steam engine production workshop, they must also invest in the soap workshop."

"In this way, both the steam engine workshop and the soap workshop can be built together, which can also save us a lot of time."

Bai Feng made such a decision based on the continuous improvement of the steam engine production line.

The current steam engine production line no longer requires craftsmen to perform complex operations.

Whether it is the mold, the casting and measurement of each component, and the assembly and testing of the last step, there are very standard regulations.

And the special equipment for manufacturing steam engines has also been improved many times.

It can be said that an adult can basically master the manufacturing method of a steam engine component with at most one week of training.

Cao Jie was very happy when he heard this.

The profit of the steam engine and the demand of the gentry and merchants are not much lower than soap.

The steam engines produced in Hanzhong are still in short supply.

When a new batch of steam engines arrived in Yecheng, they were basically sold out within three days.
