The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 966

In December 1976, the Royal Geely tractor 4S store opened in Lancheng, and the first batch of 200 tractors officially appeared in front of everyone in the world.

In February 1987, the second batch of 500 tractors were delivered. There were at least 300 tractors on the road from Lancheng to chuyun, transporting a large amount of iron, grain, cloth, salt and other materials between the two places, with a total transportation volume of 7 million kilograms per month.

In the past, it took more than 10000 people and 7000 horned cattle to reach the transportation volume. During this period, it consumed countless grains, fodder and forage. Now it only takes up to 600 people to do it.

More than 95% of human and animal resources and countless grains and fodder have been saved.

What is consumed is cheap biodiesel compared with these.

For the first batch of merchants who got tractors, it was originally that each caravan needed at least 30 or 40 vehicles and more than 100 people, of which less than 20 vehicles were loaded with goods, and the rest were food and fodder consumed on the road.

For the transportation of 20000 kg of goods, it takes more than 100 people a month to go back and forth. The personnel cost alone needs more than 200 liang of silver, and the food and fodder consumed on the road is worth nearly 100 Liang.

Today, it takes only one tractor and two people to achieve the same transportation volume. The personnel expenditure is only ten Liang silver. The so-called biodiesel consumed is about 120 liters and worth twenty Liang silver for a round trip of more than three thousand miles.

In other words, the one-time investment of 1000 Liang will cost only 90 liang of silver per month, which is 70% lower than the transportation cost of one trip of goods in the previous caravan.

The most important thing is that it saves a lot of human and material resources, and is more flexible and fast. It can transport the required goods to the destination in a short time. The value is more important than the saved silver.

Previously, due to the limited transportation volume, one-time transportation can only transport about 20000 kg of goods. It is difficult for the caravan to turn around, and the risk is also great.

Especially in the rainy season of more than five months in Dayao, if the caravan is trapped somewhere, the loss is even greater.

Today, however, it is no longer subject to this restriction, and it is easy to transport goods that are ten times or even tens of times the original.

In this way, the goods of the caravan each time were not only those with huge profits, but also the types of goods increased a lot.

After all, those goods with high profits have a limited market. After the market supply and demand balance, they will focus on other goods.

In just a few months, the commodity prices of various goods in the two places have decreased.

In the cloud, the price of meat, grain, herbs, needles and thread has decreased. A large number of horn cattle, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other high-yield crops have reduced the price of beef and grain in the cloud by 10%.

Sweet potato and potato, which are also food and vegetables, have become an important part of the table of ordinary people in a short time.

In fact, businessmen who have come out of the clouds don't care about the profit of potatoes and sweet potatoes. The profit of 5000 kilograms per kilogram, two Wen per kilogram, is only 10000 Wen, close to nine Liang silver.

Ten tractors went from Dayao to sunrise, and the profit was only 92.

However, after Ren 8000 made a private statement, the families immediately knew what to do.

The prices of salt, cloth, tea, wine and iron in Lancheng also fell again.

Although the iron mines are now in the hands of the Dayao imperial court, it is clear that there are a large number of iron tools among the people. Naturally, those businessmen will not miss this opportunity.

Although ironware such as pots and knives are also valuable in the cloud, they are far from being compared with Lancheng.

……

"Stop making rotary tillage pendant and turn to harvesting pendant." Let's start with 8000 pairs.

"That thing is very useful, but it consumes too much fuel." The man below said honestly.

"Well, I see." Ren 8000 nodded.

Yes, it consumes too much gas.

If the tractor is used in transportation and can be used in agriculture, the biggest problem will appear.

Although tractors can indeed save manpower and rotary plough 60 mu of land a day, the problem of fuel consumption has become the biggest problem restricting the application of tractors.

Three liters of oil per mu of land, half a liang of silver, and 50 liang of silver per 100 mu of land. Which people can afford it?

You know, a laborer can do this in no more than twenty days.

Can a laborer earn fifty liang of silver a year?

Not even half of it.

Besides, there are sowing, weeding, irrigation and harvesting.

Therefore, after the initial enthusiasm passed, compared with the transportation favored by everyone today, the agriculture that tractors should invest most in fell into a dilemma.

Of course, this does not mean that the tractor really has no use value, but is limited by the number of acres and oil prices.

The strength of horned cattle and ancient people is also one of them.

You know, on earth, a cow with a strong labor force and an iron plow can plow only two mu of land a day.

Here, with wooden plows, you can plow six Mu a day.

In addition, limited by the number of acres, it is naturally difficult to implement tractors.

One way to change this situation is to focus on large areas of cultivation, such as the fields recently reclaimed by the Ministry of work.

One is to lower the oil price. According to the current food price, the oil price should be limited to about 20 Wen.

On the earth, a kilogram of grain costs two or three yuan on the market, and the price of diesel is only six or seven yuan, twice the price of grain.

The price of diesel oil is 400 Wen a liter, which is 40 times the price of grain. It can be regarded as the sky high price.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to lower the oil price in a short time. The current price is almost the cost.

Only when the scope of land to be reclaimed is expanded, the yield of high oil crops such as soybeans is increased, and the technology for manufacturing biodiesel is improved can the price of diesel be reduced.

It's not urgent.

Then Ren 8000 took a look at the research progress of the new tractor.

This is a new 50 horsepower tractor with greater horsepower, faster speed and stronger off-road ability.

The research progress is not fast. After all, due to the limitations of today's technology and process, many originally mature technologies can not be used and need to be redesigned.

After reading for a moment, Ren 8000 put down the information and went out to the palace.

When I entered the Changle palace, I heard bursts of clear girls laughing.

Along the shade, you can see a woman and a child in a red cloth pocket rolling on the lawn.

The woman was dressed in silk cloth, and her arms and legs were pulled above her elbows and knees.

Ren 8000, a woman, is very familiar with Lv9, IQ 9 and Zhuhua with grade 9 in the University.

These days, Ren 8000 brought her in to take care of Qi Yuqing.

Although Zhu Hua is very wild and his brain is not easy to use, he did a good job.

At least the little guy is very happy, Zhu Hua - seems to have a good time.

Ren 8000 thinks this is probably because their IQ is at the same level and they have found the same kind.

Watching the two play, Ren Bayi's sense of achievement as a father fills his heart.

Especially watching my daughter grow up happily.

Really grow up.

Ren 8000 looked at Qi Yu, who was already one meter tall, touched his chin and wondered if it was growing a little too fast?

It's only six months
