    The next day, Li Damao got up early and took some mountain goods with him to sell in Tieling. He also bought some things needed for daily life.

    He has actually forgotten what Yan Song said yesterday about the steam cultivator. He went to Tieling just to go to the city to buy and sell things.

    Nanshan Village is not very far from Tieling, only thirty miles away.

    Tieling used to be the location of a health post. With the establishment of the Chief Envoy in Liaodong and the continuous migration of a large number of immigrants to Liaodong, Tieling also began to develop rapidly and became a small county.

    At this time, in the fields on both sides of a main road outside the small county town, two steam cultivators were starting up. As a raging fire burned in the steam boiler, the water in the pot boiled more and more, and the steam engines began to whine.  sound.

    ¡°Woo~woo~¡±

    The loud noise, coupled with the billowing black smoke, soon attracted a large number of people heading to Tieling to stop and watch. Everyone looked at the two strange big guys on the roadside, wondering what they were and what they were.  usefulness.

    "Is this a steam engine?"

    Li Damao, who happened to arrive in Tieling County, was immediately attracted by the whining sound and billowing black smoke, and he and Ding Dazhu also joined in the fun.

    He suddenly remembered the tidy cultivator that Yan Song introduced to him yesterday, and he suddenly became more curious.

    "Steam engine?"

    Ding Dazhu next to him asked with little doubt: "What is this?"

    "It is a machine that uses water vapor to push it. I saw that there is no boiler. It is full of water. The fire below keeps boiling, and the water forms steam, which then pushes the piston to move, thereby generating power."

    At this time, Yan Song came over with a smile and explained.

    "Brother Damao, you are really here!"

    Then he greeted Li Damao with a smile on his face. It was really not easy. He worked hard to go to the countryside to sell steam cultivators. One out of ten people agreed to come and have a look, but less than one tenth actually came.  He was very happy that Li Damao could come.

    ¡°I was just about to go into town to buy something, so I stopped by to take a look.¡±

    Li Damao's face turned slightly red. He had forgotten about it. If he hadn't happened to see the steam engine, he wouldn't have remembered it.

    "How big a machine can water vapor propel?"

    Ding Dazhu widened his eyes slightly and said in disbelief.

    "You will know later. It can not only push the machine, but also drive the plow to plow the land. It can also plow the land very quickly and deeply."

    Yan Song said very confidently.

    Only those who have experienced the power of the steam engine will understand the power of this machine. The power of the machine is enough to change this era.

    "Woooo~"

    The water in the steam engine boiler is burning more and more vigorously, and along with the sound of whistles, there are bursts of white gas coming out of the exhaust port.

    "The water in the boiler has been boiled, and then it will start plowing the land."

    Seeing this scene, Yan Song quickly reminded.

    Behind the machine, I saw a worker working on a special plow. This plow is different from the plows we usually use and see. This plow is very wide, has several sides, and has a smooth curved arc.  noodle.

    Soon, as the plow was installed, a man with a tin trumpet stood up and shouted.

    "Fellow folks in Liaodong, this is a steam cultivator newly developed by our Jingcheng Machinery Factory. It uses steam as power and can cultivate the land very quickly and very deeply. It is very suitable for use in the Liaodong area."

    ¡°Now let¡¯s let our steam cultivator show you how to cultivate the land. It¡¯s better to use practical actions to show you the powerful strength of our steam cultivator than to talk about it.¡±

    "Start plowing the land!"

    As he finished speaking, the staff on the steam cultivator began to take control.

    "Woooo~"

    The steam cultivator made a whistle sound, and then under the attention of everyone, the steam cultivator began to start slowly. The huge body of the steam cultivator was seen moving forward in the ground. Behind it, a wide plow was  Driven by the power, it began to slowly penetrate deep into the soil.

    The steam engine is constantly moving forward, and the plow behind is plowing the ground. The thick soil is being turned out, and it is being turned out on both sides of the arc surface.

    "Wow~"

    ¡°You can really cultivate the land!¡±

    &nbsp??With good maintenance, it can be used for more than ten years. In addition, this steam engine is very useful and can be used in conjunction with other machines. For example, it can be used to transport things.  "

    Yan Song smiled and said that the price cannot be discussed or bargained, but we can provide all other services.

    "It's too expensive. It costs more than a hundred taels of silver. Which of us can afford it? I don't even have ten taels of silver in my hand."

    Li Damao couldn¡¯t help but shook his head after hearing this.

    "If you can rent it to me first and make sure that the machine is good and easy to use, I will see if I decide to buy one."

    "Let me rent it to you first?"

    When Yan Song heard this, he was slightly startled, and then said with bright eyes: "It's not impossible. I'll ask the superior supervisor. If no one buys this machine, maybe I can rent it to you to use first."

    The situation has become very clear. The price of the machine is too expensive. Not to mention these farmers, even the landowners are not willing to spend a hundred taels of silver to buy such a machine to cultivate the land.

    They would rather rent the land to farmers and just collect their own rent, or buy machines to cultivate the land themselves?

    This is simply impossible.

    Since the advent of the steam cultivator, sales have been very unsatisfactory. One of the important reasons for this is that it is too expensive, and under the form of the small-scale farmer economy in the Ming Dynasty, there seems to be little demand for it. This is why it was put in the first place.  The reason for coming to Liaodong for trial sales.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
