In December of the 76th year of the Great Yaoli calendar, the Royal Geely Tractor 4S store opened in Lancheng, and the first batch of 200 tractors officially appeared in front of everyone in this world.

In February of the 77th year of the Great Yaoli calendar, the second batch of 500 tractors were delivered. At least 300 tractors were traveling back and forth on the way from Lancheng to Izumo, transporting a large amount of iron, grain, cloth, salt, and other materials to the two places, with a total monthly transportation volume reaching 7 million kilograms.

In the past, this transportation volume required more than 10,000 people and 7,000 horned cattle to achieve. During this period, it consumed countless food and fodder, but now it only takes up to 600 people to do it.

More than 95% of human and animal power, as well as countless food and fodder were saved.

What is consumed is biodiesel, which can be said to be cheap compared to these.

For the first few merchants who received the tractor, the caravan originally required at least thirty or forty cars and more than one hundred people each time, and less than twenty of them were loaded with goods, and the other cars were all food and fodder consumed on the road.

It takes one month for a 20,000 kilogram of goods to transport hundreds of people to travel back and forth, and the personnel expenses alone cost more than 200 taels of silver, and the food and fodder consumed on the road is worth nearly 100 taels of food and fodder.

Now only one tractor and two people can achieve the same transportation volume, and the personnel spend only ten taels of silver. The so-called biodiesel consumed, for a round trip of more than 3,000 miles, will consume about 120 liters, worth twenty taels of silver.

In other words, if you invest a thousand taels at one time, you will spend only ninety taels of silver every month, which is 70% lower than the previous caravan’s transportation cost of goods.

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

Previously, the transportation volume was limited, and it could only transport about 20,000 kilograms of goods at one time. The caravan was unable to turn around when it was too big, and the risk was also great.

Especially during the rainy season when Dayao is over five months, if the caravan is trapped somewhere, the losses will be even greater.

Now it is no longer subject to this restriction, and it can easily transport ten or even dozens of times the original goods.

In this way, the caravan's goods are not just those with huge profits, and the types of goods have also increased a lot.

After all, the market for high-profit goods is limited, and after the market supply and demand reach a balance, they will set their targets on other commodities.

In just a few months, the prices of goods in various goods in both places have dropped.

What fell in Izumo is the price of meat and grain, herbs, needles, thread, a large number of high-yield crops such as horns and sweet potatoes, and potatoes, which have dropped by 10%.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are both vegetables and food, have become an important part of the dining table of ordinary people in Izumo in a short period of time.

In fact, the merchants of Izumo looked down on the profits of potatoes and sweet potatoes. The profit of 5,000 kilograms per trip was only 10,000 kilograms, which was nearly 9 taels of silver.

The profit of ten tractors from Dayao to Izumo is only ninety taels.

However, after Ren Baqian made a statement privately, the families immediately knew what to do.

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

Although the iron ore is now controlled by the Dayao court, there are quite a lot of iron tools among the people of Tuiyun, so naturally those merchants will not miss this opportunity.

Although iron tools such as pots and knives are also valuable in Izumo, they are far from comparable to Lancheng.

...

"Stop making rotary tillage pendants and switch to producing harvesting pendants." Ren Baqian said the first time.

"That thing is very useful, it's too fuel-consuming." The man below said honestly.

"Yeah, I understand." Ren Baqian nodded.

That's right, it's too fuel-intensive.

If the tractor is used in transportation, it is fine, but it can be used in agriculture, and the biggest problem arises.

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

Three liters of oil per acre of land, half a tael of silver, and one hundred acres of land is fifty taels of silver. Which people can afford it?

You should know that a laborer can only last twenty days at most.

Can a laborer earn fifty taels of silver a year?

Not even half of it will be able to make money.

What's more, there are sowing, weeding, irrigation and harvesting later.

Therefore, after the initial heat passed, as for transportation that everyone is optimistic about, the agriculture that tractors should invest most has fallen into difficulties.

Of course, this does not mean that the tractor is really not worth using, but is limited by the number of land acres and oil prices in Dayao.

There is also the strength of the horned bull and the ancient tribe.

You should know that on earth, a cow can only plow more than two acres of land a day with a plough made of iron.

Here, using wooden plows can reach six acres per day.

In addition, due to the limitation of the number of land acres, tractors are naturally difficult to implement.

If you want to change this situation, you will need to cultivate large areas of concentrated farming, such as the fields newly reclaimed by the Ministry of Industry recently.

The first is to lower oil prices. According to the current grain prices, oil prices should be limited to around twenty cents.

On Earth, a pound of grain costs two or three yuan per pound, while the price of diesel costs only six or seven yuan, twice the price of grain.

The food here is between 8 and 10 cents, while the diesel price is 400 cents per liter, which is 40 times the price of grain, which can be considered a sky-high price.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to reduce oil prices in a short period of time, and the current price is almost the cost.

Only when the land that continues to be reclaimed expands, the yield of high-oil crops such as soybeans increases, and the technology for manufacturing biodiesel is improved, can the diesel price be reduced.

This matter is unhurried.

Then Ren Baqian picked up the research progress of the new tractor and took a look at it.

This is a new fifty horsepower tractor, with greater horsepower, faster speeds, and stronger off-road capabilities.

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

After reading for a while, Ren Baqian put down the information and went out to return to the palace.

When I entered Changle Palace, I heard the clear sound of the girl laughing.

Following the shade of the tree, you can see a woman and a child wearing a red cloth bag rolling on the lawn.

The woman was wearing silk cloth clothes, her arms and legs were tied above her elbows and knees.

The woman Ren Baqian is very familiar with her, including lv9, 9 IQ, and 9 grades in the university.

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

Although Zhu Hua is very wild and has a bad brain, he is actually doing well.

At least the little guy is very happy, and Zhu Hua seems to be having fun too.

Ren Baqian felt that this was probably because the two people had found similar types on the same level.

Watching the two play, Ren Baqian felt a sense of accomplishment as a father filled his heart.

Especially when I watch my daughter grow up happily.

Really grew up.

Ren Baqian looked at Qi Yuqing, who was one meter tall, and touched his chin to think, was he growing a little too fast?

It's only six months...
Chapter completed!
