After the meal, Li Yin asked Rongda to prepare 10,000 guan money tickets for Li Yuanchang, and after ying in Yizhou for a few days, Li Yuanchang went back satisfied, and Li Yin also asked Tong Nian to lead the fleet to Hedong Road, To him, the 20% of the price of transporting the coal from the East Road from the Yellow River through the canal was nothing to him, and the stolen coal was only equivalent to paying a lowbor price.


    After returning to Chang''an, Li Yuanchang told the businessmen the news. He was secretly scolded by the businessmen as a **** sprinkler, and everyone swore that he would never get involved with Li Yuanchang again, but 20% is better than nothing. After the ck-smoking transport ship of the Chamber of Commerce arrived, these merchants rushed to sell the umted coal to the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, the ck-smoking ships of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce also aroused the curiosity of these merchants. Don''t worry, because whether it is cargo capacity or speed, the ships of Shengtang Chamber of Commerce are much stronger than those relying on manpower.


    In one of the most prestigious restaurants in Taiyuan, the coal merchants on Hedong Road invited Tong Nian to gather here. Although Tong Nian didn''t like this kind of asion, he had to do business because of his sophistication, so he could only go by invitation. After drinking a ss of wine, a businessman said, "Guan Tong, why is the ship of your Shengtang Chamber of Commerce emitting ck smoke and running so fast."


    Others pricked up their ears when they heard the words. In this era, it can be said that whoever controls the transportation controls the business. There is no reason why these people don’t understand. They are all thinking about whether they can buy one or two.


    "This..." Tong Nian put on a deal, he didn''t intend to be a treasure to the steamship Li Yin, he had also discussed with Tong Nian about producing steamboats for sale, otherwise their shipyard would have been at a loss This is very detrimental to Yizhou''s finances. But at the same time, Li Yin did not n to sell the most advanced steamships to these businessmen. ording to his idea, he nned to let the shipyard produce a batch of paddle steamer ships. Rather than a turbo steamship, the power of the steam engine is also limited. Generally speaking, it is to sell low-end steamships in exchange for high profits at low costs.


    A table of businessmen all looked at Tong Nian eagerly. After Tong Nian dragged the old man''s voice, a businessman finally couldn''t help saying, "Guan Tong Tong, you said, you are so anxious to death."


    With a chuckle, Tong Nian said: "This kind of ship is called a steam ship. There is something called a steam engine inside the ship. By burning coal, the ship can be driven. There is no need for a boatman to move the oars to make the ship move. Even if it is against the current It’s also easy going up.”


    Eyes widened in surprise, the businessmen whispered to each other and talked a lot. They didn’t understand what a steam engine was. One businessman said, “I’ve only heard of pheasants, but I haven’t heard of steam chickens. What a shame in this world. No surprises."


    "It''s just that since it''s a chicken. How does it rely on coal to burn, strange, strange!"


    "It doesn''t make sense..."


    "..."


    Facing strange discussions from businessmen. Tong Nian almost spit out the food in his mouth, but he seemed to have the same reflection when he heard it for the first time, he said: "Everyone, everybody, don''t talk about it, tomorrow, I will take you on a boat to visit Fan, how about letting you clear up your doubts?"


    "That''s great!" The merchants all smiled, "It''s just whether this ship is for sale!" The merchants raised another key question.


    "Well. I have to go back and discuss it with His Highness!" Li Yin didn''t make a clear statement, so Tong Nian didn''t dare to make a decision without authorization.


    "Then I hope Guanshi Tong will go back and help us find out." A businessman said.


    Tong Nian cupped his hands and said, "Definitely. Definitely!"


    …


    At the same time, in the pce of the King of Han. Li Yuanchang was surrounded by a group of well-known dandies in Chang''an. Although the incident in the coal mine caused a lot of businessmen to hate him, and he lost a lot of money, he quickly forgot about his new interests. these unpleasant things.


    "Do you know what this is called?" Li Yuanchang put the ying cards on the table, and with a light touch of his hand, the ying cards were arranged in a straight line on the table, revealing the true colors of the ying cards.


    All the yboys shook their heads.


    "This is poker! It''s a gambling tool. It''s higher and more elegant than you usually y cricket and dog fighting. This is the game yed by nobles, understand?" Li Yuanchang showed an exaggerated expression and tone. It is full of contempt for the previous way of gambling.


    A dude said: "Is it so powerful? Isn''t it just a pile of paper?"


    "A pile of paper? Vulgar, vulgar, do you know where these ying cardse from?"


    The yboys shook their heads again.


    With a sneer, Li Yuanchang said: "Yizhou, do you understand? This is from Yizhou. Can the things in Yizhou be bad? Tell you, this poker is the most popr in Yizhou, and the emperor is ying it." , and I still y every day, and I will feel ufortable if I don’t y for a day!” Li Yuanchang shook his head and sighed, “If it wasn’t for some things that I have toe back, I really want to stay in Yizhou and nevere back.”


    "The Supreme Emperor is always ying, it''s so amazing, so please teach us, Your Highness!" This dude suddenly became interested.


    Li Yuanchang showed a very unhappy expression, hesitated for a while and said: "Okay, okay, I will reluctantly hand over this stunt to you."


    …


    Li Yinhun, who was in Yizhou at this time, didn''t know that although Li Yuanchang yed tricks on him behind his back, he also gave him the opportunity to kill three birds with one stone. At the beginning, another one is that Li Yuanchang brought ying cards to Chang''an, and soon he will bring a group of wealthy gamblers.


    However, this will all be in the future. What he really cares about now is the huge impact that the smart people have brought to him after participating in the construction of Yizhou. First of all, it is agriculture. Rongda took over the management of the manor not long ago. It was reced by intelligent people in the future. This is a decision made by Li Yin under consideration, because Rongda belongs to the primitive level in terms of technology and management, and cannot be on the same level as them. The high-tech and vegetable greenhouse projects have been sessfully implemented, and Li Yin has been freed from the endless chaos. Sometimes, in order to consult these technical materials, he does not know how many cells he has to die. Compared with his slow speed, intelligent people are recovering. While cultivating high technology and vegetable greenhouses, he also taught arge number of technical talents in this field, which made Li Yin really ashamed, and truly understood the saying that technology is productivity.


    And in order to cooperate with the vegetable greenhouse, Li Yin also made a new thing, because the vegetable greenhouse can''t do without it, it is also needed for hatching chickens, and it is also needed for cooking and heating. He just spent time with the people of country Z. Decades of briquette stove.


    "Your Highness, this is the first batch of briquette stoves. These are briquettes." In the pce, Rong Da asked a few servants to put the briquette stoves brought from Taoyuan in front of Li Yin. Such a simple thing does not need much Tong Yu figured out the technical content by himself, and with the help of Li Jie, aplete set of production machinery for briquettes was sessfully rolled off the production line, allowing Shengtang Chamber of Commerce to start mass production of briquettes.


    Li Yin took a look at the briquette stove and coal, and it was basically the same as the one he used before. In the absence of liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas, this is the best heating tool. "How much does this one cost?" Li Yin asked , His n is naturally for civilian use, and the price is too high.


    "Tong Yu said that one cost 20 Wen." Rong Da replied.


    "Twenty yuan!" Li Yin weighed it. It is still very easy for an ordinary person to buy it. He said: "Then you contact the chamber ofmerce and tell them that each one sells for thirty yuan." Tong Yu only calcted materials andbor. The cost, of course, did not include the transportation cost, so Li Min added another ten cents. In this way, each briquette furnace can earn five cents. The profit of the briquette furnace is limited. He mainly relies on the follow-up briquettes to make money, because A briquette stove can be used for several years, but the briquettes are constantly consumed, which can be regarded as a small profit and quick turnover.


    "Yes, Your Highness!" Rong Da responded, and took the briquette stove away with someone. This batch of things belonged to the Wangfu. It is always Li Yin''s rule to try new things in the Wangfu first. (to be continued)
