Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 291

Such methods belong to the bad street in later generations, but they are not common in this world.Of course, it is not impossible. After all, in retrospect, this method was born out of Li Mu Jianxin of Wei Yang in the pre-Qin period.

The fact that a method can be used for more than 2000 years just shows its effectiveness.

When Xue Baochai heard Brother Rong talk about it, his eyes suddenly lit up.As a child of the Imperial Merchant, how could she have no knowledge.He also has some understanding of the business methods in all over the world, and asked in surprise, "You still understand these?"

"I didn't understand it at first, but just seeing you, my mind became active. The seven orifices were completely cleared up, and some countermeasures came out of my brain." Brother Rong said hehe.

Xue Baochai just laughed. "You can pick up these words and talk to those two from Dongfu."

"When I saw you, I had something from the bottom of my heart. How can I tell others." Brother Rong rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Let's first spread out in several major state capitals in various provinces and build warehouses. There is no way to keep up."

"The idea is naturally excellent." Xue Baochai sighed.She has other worries.As the daughter of a businessman, she has read some books, and her understanding of this society may not be as good as Jia Rong, who has only been here for a few years.

Baochai said: "Such a big move must deal with the government. If the matter becomes serious, it must be brought into the palace. The past dynasties only wanted to maintain stability. If this thing is publicized like this, the provincial government and chambers of commerce will be thinking about it in a few months." Build a kiln and burn ashes. This is what the palace and the governors of the provinces do not want to see."

Brother Rong frowned and motioned for Baochai to continue.

"The emergence of the cement kiln factory in Ningguofu is all due to King Zhongshun's reform of the farming system. Dayan needed such things, so he allowed the construction of the factory in Ningguofu. But for the court, these things still hope to be mainly used for farming. Water control and other fortifications. A small part can be used for private purposes, so the national promotion is afraid that it will attract dissatisfaction in the palace."

"Great opportunity." Jia Rong frowned.

Xue Baochai shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "When I was young, I heard my father mention this incident. At that time, the iron and steel industry in southern Guangdong was developed, and there were tens of thousands of workers in one mine. In the mere area of ​​southern Guangdong, there were nearly ten mines. There are hundreds of them. In the past, when the Supreme Emperor took power, he ordered the governor of southern Guangdong to ban all provinces except the government-run iron mines. Instead, private iron mines with less than [-] workers were opened in Lianghu, Sichuan and Chongqing.”

"And why?"

"Prevent riots, prevent refugees." Xue Baochai said flatly.

Jia Rong couldn't figure out how a mining factory with a large number of people would be related to riots and refugees. "Even so, what does it have to do with our propaganda in the provinces?"

Xue Baochai squinted at him, and curled her lips: "Simply selling is irrelevant. If, as you said, you vigorously promote it, the rich merchants in the world will not be able to ask for tribute ashes, so what?"

Jia Rong understood Xue Baochai's meaning, that is, don't make trouble, and it is important to seek stability.

"It's a pity."

Xue Baochai saw that Brother Rong was a little decadent, and smiled brightly, and said: "Since I told you so, I naturally have a solution in my heart. We don't need to let Xue's family caravan go to various provinces to build warehouses. The matter of promoting cement is still the same. Doing it, just step by step. No warehouse is opened, and buyers are required to go to Pingan Prefecture and Jinling to purchase."

"Isn't it a loss to the Xue family?" Brother Rong looked at Baochai in surprise.

"How can the Xue family lose, the provinces still buy from the Xue's shop." Xue Baochai gave him a faint look, and said angrily: "Could it be that you want buyers from all provinces to be blocked outside the kiln every day? The Xue's warehouse is built on the outskirts of Jinling. It won't disturb the kiln factory, and it can keep others from causing trouble."

Jia Rong lowered her eyebrows and thought carefully, Baochai's words were not bad.Although Xue's House has business in every province, it is not as safe as in Jinling.Such a big move will offend local officials or local gentry, but it is not good.

It's better to let them go to Jinling directly, who dares to make trouble in Jinling city.

It's a pity that Jia Rong's ambition to build warehouses in various provinces across the country is a pity.If we really wait until warehouses are built in all provinces across the country, what kind of business is not easy to do?What can't be done?

You can only wait for another good opportunity later.

"We, Bao'er, think far and wide."

"Your calculations are also excellent." Xue Baochai laughed, watching this guy rubbing his hands, and couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.Kui Kui said: "Other places are far away and people are not familiar with them. No matter what happens, it will always be us people from other provinces who suffer and suffer in the end."

Brother Rong smiled lightly while thinking, so Heishan Village will also change accordingly.However, it's okay.The Xue family's publicity is only the first round, and there are still the pawns of the agricultural officials behind.

Reinforced cement concrete will sooner or later enter the national public's field of vision.

Fried iron ah.

When will Dayan be stimulated to vigorously develop Jiantie.

Xue Baochai seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said slowly: "Brother Rong has stayed in the sky, and he has thoughts in his heart. It may not be possible to keep the two prefectures."

Why is this girl pouring cold water at this time.

Brother Rong glared at her angrily.

Xue Baochai, not to be outdone, hummed and said, "The authorities say they are confused, and you will see the trial. You have thought about it, and someone has tried it long ago. The imperial court stored Western rare artifacts in the palace and prohibited them from flowing into the people. Why? In the past, "Wang Zhennong Shu" said Why is the odd-carrying device banned and destroyed? Compared with a machine that can weave a hundred catties of yarn a day, the imperial court prefers to see everyone using a machine that can produce three catties of yarn a day."

Hearing this, Jia Rong was in a trance.

Yes, it's not that many things have not been made, why the court is unwilling to promote them.

He also heard Xue Baochai say: "My uncle heard that a man named Newcomen in the West had made a flame water pump for mining, and spent a lot of money to send it to the palace from the West Sea. Instead, it was treated as a demon weapon."

"Flame water pump?" Jia Rong suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart. This strange name reminded him of Western Industry.

"Don't say you know each other." Xue Baochai smiled, "Baoqin boasted to me about this name when he came back from Xihaiyanzi. He said that as long as you add coal and fire to the bottom, the stove above can absorb the water in the ground. come out."

It can work by adding coal. Why does this thing sound more and more like a steam engine.

It shouldn't be.Shouldn't the steam engine be made by Watt?How did it become Newcomen?
Who is Newcomen?

Whatever the fuck's name is.

Whether it is Watt or Newcomen.

For Jia Rong, it is not a good thing.

He gritted his teeth secretly, cursing in his heart: Damn it, the musket is only going to be imitated over there, and such a ghost thing appeared in the West.Do you really want to wait for the West to carry out the industrial revolution, and then watch them drive steamboats and set up artillery to crush Dayan in the future?
