Chapter 1110 Muchuan inspects land purchase in Luoyang, the governor agrees with Muchuan to build a factory
But since the system chose Zhao Hu as a serf, there must be a reason for him.
Muchuan planned to test this man's ability.
"Come with me."
Muchuan said.
Muchuan then took him to the center of the farm on horseback.
"This is our future farm.
I will set up a new type of farm here and carry out various high-tech planting."
Muchuan said.
“New style farm?
Master, are you saying that we want to build a new planting method here?"
Zhao Hu asked in surprise.
"Yes, I want to build a very large farm.
You are responsible for this matter, I believe you will not let me down."
Muchuan smiled.
"Master, please rest assured that I will run this farm well."
Zhao Hu assured.
Muchuan smiled and nodded, and then said: "Then you go and recruit people first. Building a farm requires a lot of people."
"Yes, Master."
Zhao Hu took the order.
Although Zhao Hu mastered many agricultural technologies.
But the system setting is a typical honest and humble serf, but he is not stupid either.
He knew that if he wanted to change his life, he had to rely on this mysterious master in front of him.
All this was arranged by the system, and he did not dare to violate it, so he could only obey the system's instructions.
Zhao Hu knew that the technology in this world was not developed.
In particular, agricultural technology is very backward.
And these agricultural technologies that I have mastered must not be leaked to others.
Otherwise, it may lead to death.
So he must seize this opportunity and change his life.
…
In the next few days, Muchuan stayed in Luoyang for seven or eight days, traveling and inspecting the land.
By the way, he also bought the unowned land around Luoyang that he liked.
Then they cultivated fertile land and prepared for large-scale construction.
Muchuan has also been thinking about how to build a transportation line that runs through the entire Luoyang these days.
Muchuan built Luoyang to use this place as his future rear area.
After all, the construction of Youzhou cannot be carried out in isolation, and it also requires the support of other cities.
Muchuan thought about how to open the transportation channel between Luoyang and Youzhou in the shortest possible time.
He thought carefully for a while, and then finally thought of a way.
That is to use steam locomotives instead of ox carts!
The steam locomotive was a means of transportation in Muchuan's previous life. He once exchanged a locomotive in the system and placed it in Chang'an City.
Li Shimin was still surprised at that time.
However, because there was no technical support such as rails, the steam locomotive was quickly decommissioned and left to rust.
Now, Muchuan is preparing to promote this steam locomotive.
Then use this steam locomotive to replace the ox cart, and it can be directly used to transport goods and grain.
Steam locomotives are much faster than oxcarts.
Muchuan planned to establish a workshop in Luoyang specifically responsible for the production of steam locomotives.
Then a steelmaking plant is being built to produce I-beams for rail tracks.
As for how to obtain the blueprint of this steam locomotive, Muchuan of course focused on his own system.
This is because the technological level in ancient times was not enough to manufacture steam locomotives.
Moreover, even with technology, it was difficult to build a steam locomotive without enough materials in ancient times.
Ancient smelting technology is simply not enough to burn iron ore into I-beams, let alone high-hardness metals such as steel.
If Muchuan wants to make a steam locomotive, he must use the manufacturing process of steam engines!
However, the amount of this project is not small, and it is estimated that it will cost a huge amount of financial resources and materials.
However, this is also in line with the ideas of Li Tai and Yang Gongren. After all, they always want to invest in technology in Luoyang to gain profits.
Now that Muchuan is willing to invest resources, they certainly want it.
Thinking of this, Muchuan went to the Governor's Mansion to visit the Governor Yang Gongren.
Luoyang Dudu Mansion.
Yang Gongren was handling government affairs at this time.
"Report to the Governor, Lord Muchuan is looking for you and is waiting outside at the moment."
A guard came in and reported.
"Please come quickly."
Yang Gongren raised his head and said.
As soon as Muchuan walked in, he saw Yang Gongren.
Yang Gongren was wearing purple court clothes, a sword on his waist, and a crown on his head, with an elegant temperament.
"I've met Mr. Yang."
Muchuan saluted.
Yang Gongren smiled and waved his hand: "No need to be polite."
"Lord Muchuan, do you know why you came to me this time?"
Yang Gongren asked.
"Captain Yang, I came to you today to ask you to approve my building a factory in your jurisdiction."
Muchuan said.
Yang Gongren raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "Oh?
Regarding this matter, where do you want to build it?”
"Of course it's in the suburbs of Luoyang, a place closer to Luoyang City."
Muchuan said.
"I see.
This is not a big problem.
But are you sure your factory can be built?"
Yang Gongren said doubtfully.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I have found craftsmen who can do the work, and they will go to my factory.
Moreover, they are all smart, capable, hard-working workers.”
Muchuan said.
Yang Gongren was very happy after hearing this.
Although Muchuan cannot be retained, it would be good to be able to retain Muchuan's technology and factory.
"Master Mu, what kind of factory do you want to build?
Can you talk to me in detail?"
Yang Gongren said.
Muchuan nodded and said: "My goal is to build a steelmaking plant that can meet my requirements within a month, so I need enough steel and coal."
Yang Gongren frowned and said, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult to meet these conditions."
Muchuan said: "I know these difficulties, so I asked Master Yang for help."
Yang Gongren said: "Master Mu, you have found the right place. Haha, why I let you invest in our Luoyang is because Luoyang is a place where resources gather. I will try my best to meet your requirements!"
Yang Gongren paused and continued: "However, although our Luoyang is rich in resources, it lacks steel and other materials."
Muchuan had already guessed this outcome, so he was not disappointed and said: "I know all this, so I am preparing to transport steel from Chang'an or Guanzhong."
"Where are you going to transport this steel from?"
Yang Gongren asked.
Muchuan said with a smile: "We have purchased a lot of iron ore in places such as Guanzhong and Henan, and I will send a fleet to transport this iron ore here."
"In that case, please, go back and prepare first, and let me know if you encounter any problems."
Yang Gongren said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang."
Muchuan smiled and held his hands.
"Besides, I can promise you.
However, in the future, this factory will have to pay taxes to Luoyang, 30% of its turnover, what do you think?"
