Chapter 176 Brother...can you not let other women serve you in the future...

Gu Qingwan was a little dizzy.

If there really is such a thing...

So how powerful did the Zhou Dynasty become?

Such a powerful carrying capacity and only driven by coal?

this……

It was difficult for Lu Qingwan to imagine what this meant, but what Gu Qingwan knew was...

Once this thing appears, the Zhou Dynasty will definitely move to a new level.

"Is...is there really such a powerful thing?"

Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan in astonishment and said.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, had another cigarette in his mouth. Gu Qingwan quickly picked up the match beside him and lit it for Lu Yuan.

After Lu Yuan took a sip, he said very proudly:

"Of course, I can do it."

At this time, Gu Qingwan was holding a match, standing next to her with a face full of astonishment and said:

"Now?"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:

"I can draw all the design drawings in a few days."

In fact, Lu Yuan hasn't finished reading about all the parts of the steam engine yet. Lu Yuan just finished reading the principles and theories of the steam turbine today.

This is like Gu Lie's endorsement.

You must first know what the book means and then memorize it.

Otherwise, just remembering how the steam turbine needs to be made and what parts are needed will not work.

Now that we have almost seen the principles and theory, it is very simple to look at the internal design of the steam turbine and its parts.

Basically, Lu Yuan can learn them all in just a few days.

At this time, Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan with great excitement and said:

"Can I see you getting this thing out in a few days?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and said:

"No, this thing is not a bicycle, nor is it as simple as a mortar.

This is not something I can get out by banging with a hammer all morning or all afternoon. There are a lot of small parts inside.

It requires the cooperation of many departments.

And...I don’t plan to get this thing in the forging bureau anymore.”

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gu Qingwan blinked and said quickly:

"Then where are you going to do it?"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:

"I'm going to wait until I see Master Tian before telling me. This time I have to let Master Tian reward me well.

It would be such a loss if such a super powerful thing only rewards me with three heads and five hundred bucks."

Do you have to wait until you see the Lord?

ah……

Gu Qingwan blinked and told the truth...

Gu Qingwan hasn't planned to... meet Lu Yuan soon...

after all……

If we meet soon...

Then why should I call this little guy brother...

I always felt that after this, when Lu Yuan saw him, he would kneel down in fear and shout like the others, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty"...

Very boring.

But Gu Qingwan really wanted to know what Lu Yuan was currently studying.

While Gu Qingwan was thinking about something, Lu Yuan crossed his legs, shook his head and said:

"Besides, I will have to give some advice to Master Tian at that time."

Comments?

Gu Qingwan blinked curiously, looked at Lu Yuan and said:

"What's your opinion?"

Lu Yuan said directly:

"Just don't be so stingy!"

After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Gu Qingwan said with a strange look:

"Why...why are you so stingy?"

Immediately, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:

"Look at Ang, the bicycle I made is now retailing for 120 yuan.

Excluding the mess, the current cost of this bicycle is only sixty or seventy yuan. This does not include the cost of opening a production line, adding professional equipment, and other messy expenses.

The more such industrial products are manufactured in the future, the lower the cost will be. The final cost of a bicycle may be only twenty yuan, or even more than ten yuan.

Of course, after cost reduction, the price of bicycles will gradually drop a little, but no matter what, a bicycle can add at least fifty or sixty yuan to the national treasury's net profit.

Do you know how much money this bicycle alone will add to the treasury? I estimate that it must be at least more than one million so far.

But the court only rewarded me 700 yuan. Do you think this is too stingy?"

Gu Qingwan blinked and thought about it, this...

If that's the case...

That is indeed a bit stingy.

but……

Gu Qingwan was also aggrieved!

Because Gu Qingwan still doesn't know how much money this bicycle has added to the national treasury.

The country conducts a fiscal review every six months.

Gu Qingwan hasn't seen the financial income for the past six months yet.

It has just been less than two months since the New Year, and it will take at least four months before the cabinet will check it, so that it can know how the country's fiscal revenue is in the first half of the year.

Now let Lu Yuan say this.

Gu Qingwan was suddenly stunned.

Hiss~

If you want to say that...

This year Lu Yuan came up with those two kinds of threshing machines, and they were also selling very well, although they were not as popular as bicycles that could be seen with the naked eye.

But in fact, they were bought by local governments as soon as they were produced, and they were sold as soon as they were produced.

So what is the fiscal revenue for the first half of this year?

Gu Qingwan suddenly felt...

The national fiscal revenue in the first half of this year... I am afraid it will reach a very scary figure...

Of course, this was a bit off topic. When Gu Qingwan came back to her senses, she nodded in agreement with what Lu Yuan said:

"If you say so...there is something wrong with the imperial court...but...you can't blame the emperor. It's still early for the financial income statement for the first half of the year to be released.

It's only been less than two months since you've done this, and the Emperor is very busy all day long. If you don't see the financial revenue, the Emperor must not know the details."

After Gu Qingwan finished speaking, Lu Yuan waved his hands and said:

"Hey!! Don't talk nonsense, I don't blame the emperor, did I say that?

You want to be beheaded, but I don’t want to, so don’t talk nonsense!”

Seeing Lu Yuan's cautious and fearful look, Gu Qingwan found it funny for no reason and said:

"You have something to be afraid of too."

Lu Yuan glared and said:
To be continued...
