Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 60 Industry Chain!
"Not comprehensive enough? Please ask Master Su to teach me."

Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked Su Jing for advice.

Su Jing said: "First of all, it's good that you understand their hardships from the perspective of those sugar sellers."

"But if you focus on a bigger place, Lishui County and even the whole country."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately thought about it.

Su Jing was also anxious, and found a teahouse at random, and the two just sat down.

"Master Su, I thought about it. As far as Lishui County is concerned, if you really lower the price of caramel, more people will be able to eat it."

Zhu Biao said: "The more caramel sold, the more production will be made."

"For you, although it's cheap, you can still make small profits and make high sales."

"It's just that these don't seem to be able to change the plight of those who originally sold sugar."

Zhu Biao slowly expressed his opinion, this time he was standing on Su Jing's point of view.

Businessmen, after all, want to talk about profits.

If you simply do charity, then no amount of money is enough.

Su Jing nodded and said: "Yes, caramel is not a necessity of life. I can't do charity with this kind of thing, and I must make money."

"However, you are still limited to the businessman's point of view, and you haven't really looked at the entire Lishui County."

"I ask you, if I want to mass-produce caramel, what do I need?"

Zhu Biao replied: "Site, tools, raw materials and people."

"very good!"

Su Jing continued: "I'll look for venues, I'll buy tools, I'll buy raw materials, and I'll hire people."

"Among these things, do the math, that's not a commercial act, and whether it has created a lot of jobs out of thin air."

"Those people who used to produce and sell sugar, because of their sugar-making skills, I can directly hire them as workers."

"And it is impossible for me to grow all the raw sweet potatoes by myself, and I need to buy sweet potatoes produced by farmers."

"Processed caramel still needs proper packaging, and the packaging also needs to be provided by others."

"It's even simpler. I'm only responsible for the production, wholesale sugar to them, and retail to them. Didn't it revitalize the livelihood of many people?"

"This is an industrial chain. When a sustainable industrial chain emerges, all participants in the entire chain can make money."

"Of course, what supports these is the needs and spending power of ordinary people."

Su Jing's words instilled a new concept in Zhu Biao.

Industry chain.

Zhu Biao was shocked again.

He thought carefully about the whole process that Su Jing just said.

From the production of raw materials to processing to sales, every step can make money.

This time, without Su Jing's explanation, Zhu Biao understood the concept of industrial chain.

Compared with the previous small family workshop, it is much better to produce some and sell them yourself.

If Lishui County has such an industrial chain, it is unknown how many people will benefit from it.

What about looking at the entire Daming territory?
There are more than tens of millions of people who can benefit?

"Su Shizhen is an incomparable talent!"

Zhu Biao said to Su Jing respectfully.

The concept of the industrial chain has allowed Zhu Biao to see many new possibilities.

He also has a deep understanding of the changes that business can bring to Daming.

Although he knew very well that the source of his father Zhu Yuanzhang's resistance to business was the social instability brought about by businessmen, and the social instability led to the instability of the rule.

But Zhu Biao did not agree with his father's view.

Su Jing drank a sip of tea, moistened her throat and said, "Don't always put such a high hat on me. Although I said that the prospect of the industrial chain is very good, it does not mean that it will be successful."

"The premise of supporting the industrial chain must be the consumption ability of consumers. If there is no one to buy it, it will be impossible to maintain it."

"This is one of the reasons why I insist on small profits but high sales, because most of the common people are facing maltose."

"They can afford it and are willing to buy it, that's the fundamental."

"Even if this industrial chain is finally formed, some people will inevitably be eliminated in the process, and the living space will be squeezed. This is an unavoidable thing."

"No one can take care of everyone, as long as it is beneficial to most people."

"Any new things and new viewpoints will inevitably lead to the destruction of old things and the conflict between old and new viewpoints."

When Su Jing mentioned the industrial chain, he also had the intention of teaching.

Whether it can really be done, no one can say.

In other words, doing this kind of thing in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the early Ming Dynasty, was originally advanced development, and the success rate was very low.

In the final analysis, it is still insufficient productivity.

Most of the people's time and energy are spent on simple living, and having enough food is the first priority.

It is too difficult for other industries to develop.

Zhu Biao froze in place at the moment, not because of this industrial chain.

It is what Su Jing said, the conflict between old and new things and new and old viewpoints.

In fact, Zhu Biao had already received the reply letter from his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

Regarding how to solve the tax exemption for officials and gentry, Lao Zhu asked Zhu Biao to ask Su Jing for advice.

Zhu Biao is helpless.

Because Su Jing had already given a solution, that is, the government and the gentry pay the food together.

It's just that Zhu Biao didn't directly explain it because he considered the possible resistance to this matter.

I thought that imitating Su Jing's persuasion would make my father realize the reality.

Unexpectedly, the problem was thrown back after all.

Zhu Biao was troubled, but he couldn't tell Su Jing, because Su Jing had already given the answer, but he didn't dare to say it.

Now, Zhu Biao has figured it out.

"Master Su, you are right. No one can take care of everyone, as long as they are good to most people."

"The emergence of new things must be accompanied by the demise of old things!"

Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing, his eyes were full of excitement, or firmness.

Su Jing was taken aback by Zhu Biao's sudden excitement, and hurriedly said:
"Niu Yi, are you okay?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "Master Su, of course I'm fine, not only fine, but I want to understand one more thing."

"Mr. Su, thank you for your teaching. The student has something to do and needs to go home. Please allow Mr. Su to agree."

Zhu Biao would not use a letter to tell his father Zhu Yuanzhang about this important matter of paying the grain to the gentry.

Presentation is required.

"Okay, although I don't know what's going on, but since you have something to do, then go home, I don't care about it here."

Su Jing directly agreed to Zhu Biao's request.

It could be seen that Zhu Biao couldn't wait.

"Thank you, Master Su."

Zhu Biao stood up, saluted Su Jing earnestly, then turned and left.

"Well, I'm finally alone."

Su Jing drank the tea in one gulp, paid the bill and left.

Without Zhu Biao by his side, he can go to some adult entertainment venues.

When Zhu Biao was around, he had to be a little more careful.

Now, relax and adjust.
