There are several acres of fields in a remote valley in the western suburbs. Yunxiu was trapped here at the beginning. It can be said that Yunxiu's nightmare. Today, the valley welcomed many guests. There were a few people standing by the field. Their eyes were always staring at the field, but a cow was walking in the field with a brand new rice transplanter. A young man was using the rice transplanter under the guidance of an old man, with his face full of excitement.

The people from Tianbian are Han Yi, Yuan Mudan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Le, and the young man in Tianaka is Yuan Zhe.

Yuan Xi was present in person, which shows how much the Yuan family valued this rice transplanter.

After a while, Yuanzhe, who was in the field, rushed to the edge of the field with barefoot standing full of soil, and said excitedly: "Grandpa, second grandpa, aunt, this rice transplanter is really useful. You can plant up to eight to ten acres of land on this day, and only one person and a cow are needed, which is nearly ten times more than before."

The most difficult part of planting second-season rice is people and time, because it is necessary to seize time, and this rice transplanter perfectly makes up for these two points.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Not only that, after research by our Sixth Academy of Sages, this rice transplanter no longer needs a chain, which greatly reduces the cost."

Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's best to do this, we can do it ourselves."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Uncle, this is the era, and you still do everything yourself. How expensive is it? Now our Yuan family lacks manpower? It just so happened that a workshop was built in the southern suburbs, which specializes in making wooden and iron utensils for other merchants. This rice transplanter is entrusted to them to make. Now our Yuan family does not have many people in Chang'an."

When the old fox Yuanxi heard this, he knew that there was a sound outside the string. He glanced at Han Yi suspiciously and asked with a smile: "I wonder who runs this workshop?"

Han Yi said: "Zhang Family."

"Which Zhang family?"

"It's Duke Tan."

Yuan Mudan said a little surprised: "Zhang Daxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang, it was his cousin Zhang Daqi."

Isn't this the same thing?

Yuan Xi nodded. Of course he knew that there was no Zhang Daxiang, and this was not as good as a transaction. Since he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, of course it had to be said differently. Moreover, the Yuan family was indeed short of people and said, "As long as the price is right, that's fine."

Yuan Mudan said: "Uncle, this deal is not that simple, there is also the Sixth Academy of Sages."

Yuan Xi was not aware of this matter, so he was stunned and said, "Isn't the Sixth House of the Sage the Official Office?"

Han Yi smiled awkwardly: "It's true that it's the official office, but in order to develop this rice transplanter, the Sixth Academy of Sages has also paid a lot of money."

Yuan Xi said: "That's also the treasury's money. For example, the Ministry of Works used to distribute drawings to various prefectures and counties." The implication is nothing more than - boy! Don't bully me, the old man, who doesn't understand the market!

Han Yi said: "The problem is here. I'm not to hide it from my uncle. The Sixth Academy of the Sages has spent a lot of money on this rice transplanter. It has come to an end now. However, there are still some days before next year. I have discussed with other ministers and hope to increase the funds of the Sixth Academy of the Sages, but they didn't agree. However, after many discussions, they finally agreed to sell the drawings to merchants as an increase in funds."

Yuan Zhe frowned slightly and said, "But everyone can do this thing, and there is no profit in it. We will use it ourselves if we make it."

It’s not that he doesn’t want to pay the money, he’s just lowering the price.

Han Yi smiled and said, "But not everyone can do it. It still requires some technology. And it is not necessarily lower than buying it by making it yourself. It requires skilled carpenters and blacksmiths, and you have to spend some time imitating it. I don't believe that anyone has so many comprehensive talents. If you ask someone to do it, it's better to buy it. In addition, ordinary people will definitely not be able to use this rice transplanter. In fact, there is no need for this rice transplanter, because the people only have a few acres of land and don't need to spend money to buy this rice transplanter. With both hands enough, it must be bought by those landlords. They are not short of this money. As long as they form a complete production chain and reduce production profits, it is definitely profitable."

Yuan Mudan said: "In other words, we spend money to purchase drawings from the Sixth Academy of Sages and then entrust the Zhang family to make them?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."

Yuan Mudan said: By the way, the Zhang family can also make it. For us, the drawings are just hand-made. Why don’t you, the Sixth Academy of Sages, sell the drawings directly to the Zhang family?"

Although they are family members, they have different positions. They cannot be said to spend the family members. Moreover, they are all businessmen, and they are more smarter than anyone else. The Yuan family does not want to make money with this, they only want to use it, so they are unwilling to spend money to buy drawings.

Han Yi said: "First of all, the Zhang family does not have that much money. Secondly, the Zhang family's OEM workshop is only responsible for production and not for sales. How can the Zhang family compare with the Yuan family in Jiangnan? If the Zhang family is still responsible for sales, he doesn't even have a channel. How much money does it have to be invested? It's better to concentrate all efforts to produce it. Therefore, when the Yuan family cooperates with the Zhang family, they can add treaties on this aspect in the contract, restricting the Zhang family to only help the Yuan family produce rice transplanters."

Yuanzhe said again: "But this rice transplanter can only be used in Jiangnan, so why not put the OEM workshop in Jiangnan? In this way, it can save shipping costs."

Han Yi smiled and nodded and said, "You are right to say this, but in this way, the Zhang family does not have the ability to open a large OEM workshop in Jiangnan. This needs to be done step by step. Secondly, in Chang'an, it can increase trade between the north and the south and promote the development of Guanzhong Group. Finally, if all the people in Jiangnan are recruited to work in workshops, who will cultivate the fields in Jiangnan? Jiangnan still has to be dominated by farmers."

Yuanzhe nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and said, "It's still uncle, you have thought carefully."

They have done agriculture in Jiangnan, and there is no industry. If they put all industries in Jiangnan, wouldn’t they demolish their own platforms? In Chang'an and Luoyang, they are different. This generation is densely populated, and the fields are not enough, and they have a lot of manpower to volunteer. This is why the handicraft workshops suddenly started.

Yuan Xi said: "After all the time, you haven't even said how much money you have to donate?"

In his opinion, how to operate it is Han Yi's business. He doesn't want to ask about it, money is the key.

"One thousand guan." Han Yi said.

"You are a little too many. We want rice transplanters, just to cultivate the land, and the profits of rice transplanters will not be very high." Yuan Xi frowned slightly when he heard this. In his opinion, this was a bit too much.

Han Yi said: "I will subsidize 500 guan of them, and the Yuan family only needs to pay 500 guan. Moreover, with the development of two seasons of rice in Jiangnan, the demand for transplanters is getting higher and higher. Our Sixth Academy of Sage will continue to improve this transplanter, and subsequent improvement technology will be given to you Yuan family for free. Your Yuan family will always master the latest technology, so in the market of transplanters, the Yuan family will always dominate."

Yuanzhe wondered: "Uncle, why did you do this?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "The Garden Shocking Dreams sold for 500 jin. I can't let the price of rice transplanters be lower than this price, because for industry and commerce, technology is the fundamental. Simply put, it may be just a transaction about rice transplanters, but from a broad perspective, this is a game between arts and sciences. I hope that everyone can see that in the future industry and commerce, this technology is the king. If you ignore technology, you will definitely be eliminated. Only in this way will more people reach cooperation with the Sixth Academy of the Sage. The Sixth Academy of the Sage will get sufficient funds, and then develop more technologies, and industry and commerce will benefit from it. I only used only 500 jin to get all this. Is there any more profitable transactions than this?"

Yuan Xi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." In fact, he didn't calculate the account clearly, but seeing that Han Yi himself took out 500 guan as a subsidy, he knew that this was very important to him. Compared with Han Yi's policy, what is the only 500 guan, which is worth it.

After leaving the valley, Han Yi did not go to the Yuan family, but instead walked south to the clay ceramic workshop.

"Oh! The villain didn't know that Han Shangshu was coming. I'm really sorry, sorry."

Tao Tu ran to the living room panting and kept apologizing to Han Yi.

Tao Clay's respect made Han Yi a little helpless, and he really wanted to offer him.

"I said Lao Tao, can you stop being so humble? Will I dare to come to you in the future?"

"Shangshu Han, is it a villain who is not well received?"

"I really don't know how you got rich?"

"This is all given to the villain by Shangshu Han."

"Stop, when I didn't say anything." Han Yi rolled his eyes. He had given up on education. He really couldn't educate him. He was too honest and too cunning. He said, "I just heard your butler say that you were in a meeting in front of you, so you didn't disturb you."

"No! No!" Taotu waved his hand repeatedly, and smiled embarrassedly: "What kind of meeting is that the villain recognizes only a limited number of words. The villain just discusses matters with several craftsmen about making pottery."

Han Yi said oh, saying, "Do you have any new pottery?"

"It's not for this." Taotu said: "Since the Ministry of Revenue asked our merchants to register trademarks, many old customers have come to me, hoping to order some pottery with their trademarks printed on them."

Han Yi said, "They reacted quickly!"

Those merchants are not stupid. They are now at the top of industry and commerce, and their products are the best. Therefore, when they went back to think about it, they found that this trademark could indeed bring them huge benefits, especially the Tang Dynasty was facing the nationalization of goods. Since they wanted to do this, why not be more thorough?

Taocun said again: "But this is also a good thing for villains. You know the pottery of villains, Shangshu Han, too. The style is a bit special. If it is made into the same product and put it in the store, it will be inappropriate. Customization is better."

His pottery is full of artistic nature, and it was not the same before, so customization can give full play to his advantages. Nowadays, what merchants want is innovative and differentiated from other commodities, which is what he is best at.

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "But don't care about others, you have to put your own trademark under each piece of pottery. Aren't you going south too?"

Tao Tu was stunned for a moment and said excitedly: "Oh, thank you, Shangshu Han for his advice, the villain remembers it."

In fact, even if he doesn't understand, he will do it.

Han Yi smiled helplessly and said seriously: "Actually, I am here today to ask you to make something for me."

"Shangshu Han said it's okay, as long as the villain can do it, no matter what it is."

"Stop, stop." Han Yi said: "I'm asking you to do business, why are you doing so far?" As he said that, he took out a design drawing and handed it to Taotu and said: "Look at this, can you help me make it."

Taotu hurriedly took it over and looked at it, curiously saying, "What is this?"

Han Yi was afraid that the clay would be spent on his own and didn't even care about his own business, so he underestimated: "This thing is just my idea at present, for convenience. I know whether it can be done, so if you can do it, it doesn't matter if you can't."

"convenient?"

“It’s just a toilet.”

In the toilet, the conception is so high! The clay and mute nodded, and said, "The villain knows."
