The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 27: Street Sales

Zhang Dehui came to the mansion to announce the good news.

The steam engine sold out.

The price of a steam engine is 300 taels. Currently, due to the limited production capacity, it cannot meet the demand, so a deposit is adopted, and the strategy is first-come-first-served.

The deposit for each steam engine is set at 30 taels.

The two main mining areas of Xishan and Fangshan received 6000 taels of deposit from each company.

"It's just a pity for the briquettes and the coal stove."

Looking at Zhang Dehui who looked regretful, Zhu Gaochi didn't take it seriously.

This person does have business talent, and he did not find the wrong person.

But his vision is different from his.

He only has business and interests in his eyes, and he is the ruling class, and the promotion of productivity is more important.

It doesn't sound good.

I am the future emperor.

It's not that he thinks how powerful he is, he will definitely succeed. He was an ordinary person in his previous life, and he doesn't feel that his talent will change after time travel.

But I have confidence in Zhu Di.

Fight for the world.

That's Zhu Di's business.

I just need to do a good job in industrial development, and then wait to inherit the family business.

How simple.

Although he doesn't know how to do it, he knows what happened.

After experiencing the information explosion in later generations, no one can say a few words.

Pointing to the next Jiangshan.

Everyone is a keyboard king.

The craftsman is his foundation, and according to his direction, he refines his ideas into real objects.

That's why he values ​​Wansan and craftsmen.

That being the case, of course Zhu Gaochi would not be reluctant to part with briquettes and coal stoves.

Anyway, the meat is in the pot, rotten is also rotten in the pot,
"Honeycomb briquettes and coal stoves are large quantities and cheap, and they are new things. We do it behind closed doors. Although we can make a lot of profits, we will encounter many invisible troubles."

"This thing is related to people's livelihood, and it is what the people need. Of course, the people are the main ones."

Zhu Gaochi chose to give in to the people.

Merchants around the world are allowed to imitate and promote.

In the fastest time, increase the production and sales of briquettes and coal stoves, so that the common people can adapt to them.

This is what Zhu Gaochi values ​​to promote the private demand for coal and expand the market for the coal mining industry.

And the steam engine.

It is something that you can control.

People can imitate coal stoves, but they cannot imitate steam engines.

Anyone who can imitate a steam engine must not be an ordinary person.

Why did the Western Industrial Revolution succeed?

In addition to the continuous invention of craftsmen, it is also due to the addition of powerful people.

The joining of the dignitaries has allowed the dignitaries to obtain a lot of profits, but it is not the protection of the interests of the inventors.

Ordinary forces dare not imitate.

King Yan's Mansion is the top feudal lord of Ming Dynasty, who dares to offend King Yan?

Those who have the strength to offend King Yan.

For example, the crown prince, the king of Jin and others, they will not rob the Palace of Yan because of their interests.

"The eldest son understands righteousness."

Zhang Dehui gave a thumbs up in admiration.

The government has always cared the most about people's livelihood.

For example, the management of coal mines and mountain farms.

Because the government cannot meet the needs of the people's livelihood, neither private mine owners nor ordinary people will strictly control the logging of trees.

in other words.

Due to limited conditions, the management ability of the Ming government cannot keep up with the development of the situation, so they can only turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and will not fully follow the law.

Otherwise, none of the coal bosses in the eight major mining areas in the west of Beiping City could have escaped, including Zhang Dehui in front of him.

The sooner you can replace firewood with coal, the better.

Otherwise, continuing to use firewood would be a devastating blow to Daming's ecology.

"Pushing coal to replace firewood is the big deal right now."

Zhu Gaochi revealed.

"Extremely so."

Zhang Dehui misunderstood.

"As the eldest son said that day, the mining area has to purchase our steam engines. This is the main source of money. It is easy and trouble-free."

It seems that I have misunderstood the nobleman and regarded the nobleman as a fool who doesn't know what to do.

see.

Zhu Gaochi didn't explain anymore.

The golden city is thousands of miles away, the land of abundance.

It refers to Shaanxi.

One of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.

Western scholars call it East Chang'an and West Rome.

However, the development of Shaanxi for more than 2000 years and the dense population have led to the depletion of vegetation, so that soil erosion has accelerated water erosion.

Then floods and droughts became more frequent.

The vegetation is degraded again.

Ecology formed a harsh climate.

The Ming Dynasty was in the Little Ice Age, and in the north that was also affected, only Shaanxi was the main area for refugees.

It can be seen that the ecological impact is deep.

It is not inextricably related to the downfall of the Ming Dynasty.

As for whether coal will be exhausted in the future?
This kind of thinking is too advanced. Zhu Gaochi believes that there is no need to think about it in the next 1000 years, let alone if you look at the world.

……

soon.

New commodities appeared in various parts of Peiping Prefecture.

A business is only done by one family, and it will take a long time to expand rapidly.

When everyone does it together, it is visible to the naked eye all over the market.

Coal bosses want coal, they want coal, they want workers, they want workers, they want business, and they have business.

King Yan's Mansion allowed them to make briquettes and coal stoves, so there was no hindrance.

Dozens of coal bosses worked together, and shops in prefectural and county towns throughout Beiping Prefecture still started to sell.

"Bang bang bang."

"Everyone in the neighborhood, come and take a look, take a look."

"It burns longer than firewood, the firepower is stronger, and the price is still low. Don't miss it when you pass by."

……

All kinds of yelling, telling people that there are good things.

It attracted many people to stop.

On the street in front of a grocery store, I wish I could block the road.One clerk fiddled with coal stoves in the street, while the remaining clerks beat gongs to attract people.

"What kind of object is this, I have never seen it before."

Someone asked curiously.

"Coal stove and briquettes."

"Guest officer, take a good look. Open the damper, and the fire will soon flourish, as if the luck of the guest officer is booming this year."

"When the damper is closed, the saved firepower can be used to boil water and heat food, and it will burn for a longer period of time, just like the fortune of a guest official, it will flow endlessly."

"well said."

"A sharp mouth."

The onlookers applauded the guy's tongue.

The guy has a bright face and is not stage frightened at all.

The eyes of the companion next to him were full of envy.

"How dare Xu Ning speak in front of so many people? I don't dare. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to speak well."

Xu Ning has been an apprentice with his boss for six years and a clerk for four years.

Since I was 12 years old, I am 22 years old this year.

He can't be a job forever.

Although the owner's shop is not small, it is not as good as Daxing shop, and there are not so many places to promote people.

So he has already agreed with his boss that he will go out and do it alone next year.

The owner gave him a sum of money and talked to him about many business matters.

for the future.

Dude is full of expectations.

Started as a shopkeeper, traveled all over the countryside with both feet, saved money on food and expenses, one year, two years, three years, ten years, even 20 years.

There will always be a day when I have my own shop like my boss.

Peking City.

Like a picture, slowly unfolding.
