Lao Wang looked at the carriage and said excitedly.

"But, can you make it cheaper, you know, those of us who drive horse-drawn carriages, come in the wind and rain, and the money is not easy." Old Wang said.

"Yeah. That's also true. Let me give you a discount. Two thousand and nine, this is really not enough." The salesperson hesitated. Then he made up his mind and quoted such a price.

"Or else, I will buy two cars, no, discuss, you will give me a sincere price." Old Wang said. In fact, Lao Wang has more than 10,000 yuan in his head, which is the savings he borrowed from others and himself. Originally, he planned to add only one car, but now that the business is good, there are so many places where the car is needed, and he takes more goods. In order to make more money, he has to add a car. Originally, he could only buy one car. The price of a car is as high as 10,000 yuan. If you add horses to it, the price is very expensive, which may exceed the price of 30,000 yuan. But now that the price of the carriage is much cheaper, he can buy more carriages.

"This. Okay, two thousand seven hundred. This is the lowest price. I won't make money at low prices. Pharaoh, you have been here several times. I really want to help you this time. This is the lowest price. Price." The salesperson said embarrassingly.

"Hehe. I know, I have to do this too. I have to buy horses and hire people. There is no other way." Old Wang said.

"Okay, two thousand and seven, that's it. You keep this car for me, I'll buy horses and hire someone." Old Wang said excitedly. After adding a few cars. He can do bigger business. This kind of business is very beneficial to him. Qingcheng now needs a lot of materials, and these materials must be transported by their carriages. Pull more and you can make more money.

As soon as Lao Wangtou went out, he saw a few familiar figures. It turned out that the old men who were driving with him were also in the carriage. They bought quite a few carriages, as many as ten. The old man laughed, and the future may be better.

The wide application of iron and the use of some new technologies, coupled with scientific management, have promoted the improvement of production efficiency. The increased efficiency of the factory has promoted the reduction of prices. The price of horse-drawn carriages has fallen to about 3,000 yuan a year. This is a rush. If the carriage is acceptable, they can add more carriages at once to meet the transportation needs.

And in Qin State. The Ministry of Defense is also actively calculating the number of carriages purchased.

"If we purchase a large amount of this simple carriage from South Korea, the purchase price is only two thousand one. But if we purchase a large amount of parts and sell them on a large scale in the Western Regions, we can buy from 10,000 to 8,000. The price. And the cost price will drop to one thousand eighteen. This is very beneficial to us. I think we can purchase a large number of such carriages in Korea. Horses, Yueshi people will solve it by themselves. These carriages can be effective Solve their logistics and transportation problems." A lieutenant colonel of the Ministry of Defense said in the calculation of the cost table in his hand.

"Well, if this is the case, they are a good deal, and we are also a good deal. If we change to a locomotive, we can make more." said a colonel officer.

"It's unlikely, sir, the maintenance cost of locomotives is very high. Not only that, the most important thing is that a large number of locomotives require a lot of gasoline, maintenance, and the cost is very high. They are unlikely to fulfill such a demand. Therefore, I think that locomotives are not realistic at all for them, and horse-drawn carriages may still be useful to them. It’s just that they cannot be transported over long distances. They must be divided into sections of supply stations, and then transported a little bit. Once the transport mileage is exceeded. . Their situation will be very bad." said the lieutenant colonel.

The lieutenant colonel made a detailed understanding of the transportation situation of the Yueshi people. The Ministry of National Defense needs such detailed documents to calculate, because the carriage itself needs to be consumed. Although the carriage increased the load. But a horse-drawn carriage consumes one-thirtieth of the weight of a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage can only travel 50 miles a day at most. This is the maximum limit calculation, with an average of 30 miles. Under such circumstances, the carriage capacity of the carriage is very limited. Short-distance transportation can be carried out by horse-drawn carriages, but if large-scale transportation is used, railways can only be used. But railways are expensive. This makes it difficult for Yueshi people to accept.

"Okay. That's the only way. This is the best transportation we can give them. I hope they like it." The colonel said helplessly after reading the report.

Qin State, in the prime minister's mansion. Wei Liao is making a report.

"The income of the Moon government only comes from the offensive operations of the Indians. The most recent battle indicated that we may have entered a state of attrition wars. The Indians built a large number of fortresses and fortresses along the northern defense line that they controlled. , And we launched a small-scale assault operation, which could have been successful. However, the Yue army was not suitable for such operations. Therefore, our assault operation failed. The main reason for the failure was attributed to the Yue people. Trench operations." Wei Liao said.

"But we think this is a problem of logistical transportation and supplies. Because many weapons cannot be delivered to the front line, and the financial affairs of the Yue people are gradually deteriorating. The Indians in front of the Yue people seem to have found the victory over the Yue people. Excellent tactics. They dug countless trenches, and the Yue people can't help it." Wei Liao then reported.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded.

"It seems that front-line operations are entering a war of attrition. If the war of attrition requires a large amount of materials, these materials will consume very much." Shang Wen said.

"Yes. Prime Minister, but this is also something that can't be helped. The Indians have strengthened their defenses. The Yue army is not suitable for fighting in trenches. Their musketeers are still stuck in platoon tactics. For skirmish combat, they still Not used to it. Assault operations also need to change their weapons, they are unlikely to get so many weapons. Therefore, we have no way." Wei Liao said.

"What we are thinking about is how to solve the logistics supply problem of the Yueshi people. Once this problem is solved, many problems can be easily solved." Wei Liao said.

"Well. It's another financial problem." Shang Wen said.

"A barren land, we can increase their income by buying land, but for the moment, it seems unlikely that they will get a larger financial solution. Can we try a peaceful solution to the problem?" Shang Wen thought I wanted to say so.
