Chapter 271 The City of Miracles in the Special Zone (Part 2)
...Wei Shiniang, this is not what you care about... Zheng Langdao did not say this again. The powerful people cannot be denied blindly. Zhao Kuangyin's intention is to release military power and enjoy the blessing. The official allowed them to do so. So the country went from chaos to rule, which is very important. Although diplomacy is weak, the domestic peace and wealth are incomparable to other feudal dynasties. The excessive wealth they gathered in their hands and the three-cost country cost, forcing the country to find a healthy economic path everywhere to have the current developed business.
Otherwise, like the Tang Dynasty, ministers not only could not speak about business, but also could not interact with merchants. How could the economy of the Song Dynasty come about today?
Or use the twelve mantras, no farming is not stable, no labor is not rich, no business is not alive, if you want to be rich, you must have industry and commerce, even the most primitive industry and commerce.
This is a good thing, but the disadvantage is mergers. Don’t expect that emperor to make corrections, at most a fine adjustment. For example, Zhao Gou, the country’s life and death are about to die, also used this policy to make Zhang Jun rich and gain millions of yuan in his family property, but don’t interfere in military power anymore.
If you don’t understand this bottom line and force yourself to change the Ping, Zhang Ju and Yang Yan and others come to help Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi will still be defeated!
Wei Shiniang stuck out her tongue.
But Zheng Lang was even more suspicious. What did this big girl often go to Taipingzhou for?
Did you really like Sima Guang or Lu Gongzhu, and just take advantage of your brother-in-law here to get a tower near the water and get the moon first?
I have to talk to Shi Congguang that day.
What you can teach is their studies, including teaching them how to be a human being, but they are not their parents and they cannot decide on their marriages. If something bad happens, it will be embarrassing.
But Lu Erlang understood and asked worriedly: "What should I do in the future of the workshop?"
"You don't have to worry about it. No matter what the court does, the technology is provided by me, not by craftsmen. They also have to consider my feelings and my promise to the merchants. They will release it because of some people, but it will take a few years."
After a few years, the cost was recovered and I started to make money.
"Then..."
"It doesn't matter in the future. For example, if the sugarcane source is purchased from the local area, it saves freight. One pound can buy more than fifteen stones. Planting cane is still three to five times the income from growing rice. Then the cost will drop to three pounds and thirteen pounds. The profit will drop to one pound, and the profit of merchants will drop another part of it. The average price of a pound is only thirty cents, which is almost the same as the price of salt. How many people can eat it? Besides, this sweet water will also be said... "
Shi Congguang suddenly realized.
"The profits of Wuhu workshops will decline, but there will be more things. Can you and I still consider things in one hundred years and two hundred years later? What I fear most is the forced intervention of the imperial court. For example, the tea method was originally a kind-hearted and tea farmers had difficulty in survival, so they gave them the principal. Then use the power of the whole country and the state machinery to sell them all over the country. No matter how remote the mountainous areas are, the tea leaves will be released, so Jianzhou tea gradually showed its strength. But what did it become in the end?"
"The new discussion on tea method by Xianggong Li..." Gao Ruonen said.
"This new law is full of loopholes, and they offended the world. Can it be implemented for a long time?"
Gao Ruone smiled bitterly, he was not the world's people, but a small group of people who manage the balance and control the lifeline of the country's economy.
"I went to Taipingzhou and had several intentions. One was to focus on the doctrine of the mean. The doctrine of the mean was not only morality, but also the standard used by Confucianism to govern the country and protect the people and be a human being. Not only did I write books, I also tried to use the doctrine of the mean to reconcile the conflicts between various households in the country.
Confucianism has another purpose: to study things and to achieve knowledge. From knowledge to wisdom, then wisdom will become saints. Therefore, using knowledge to benefit all households in the country, including sugar. The workshop is trying to try the doctrine of the mean."
"What's the solution?"
"Will the strategy of benefiting only the country and not the 'world' benefit' for a long time?"
Don't dare to answer.
"It is impossible for the imperial court to be specialized. Let's look at the tea method. Linte changed the tea method and made 7 million guan profits for the court in the first year, which was only the court's income. In fact, it is more than just 290,000 guan, and at least nearly 20 million guan. Why does the court only get one percent of it? Moreover, the law is changing, and the tea merchants are inconvenient, the tea people are poor, and the upper and lowers are resentful. Why do you have to do it?"
Can't answer.
"It's not enough to do anything, and I'm stubborn. Even if someone wants to contribute to the court, the more talented they are, the more chaotic they work. The officials below are corrupt and collude with officials and businessmen. So no matter any good strategy, it becomes a bad policy at the bottom, and the more people change, the more they are more resentful. But can they all be handed over to merchants?"
"No," Wang Zhaoming said anxiously.
The court needs money, but it is not a few tens of thousands of thousands of dollars. If it is done well, there will be several large workshops all over the country, and the court will have to make a lot of profits.
"40% is enough. With 40% of the income, how much profit can the tea party make?"
I can't answer, seven million steadily is more, but there will be two or three million steadily. Instead of the current steadily twenty-nine thousand steadily.
"The merchants have obtained 60% of the contract shares, so they cannot satisfy the people of the world. What do they want to do!"
Still can't answer. Wuhu cannot enter this time, but other new workshops will inevitably force it to enter. This is 60%. If you are not satisfied, it is not a favorable treatment for the whole country. You want the whole country to be finished and support them in less than one thousandth and one thousandth of a big family!
"They are merchants themselves. They will not use autumn yellow leaves to fill good tea like officials who do not understand, so that tea merchants will be resentful, and will maintain a benign business model. However, from the bottom, there will be hundreds of contract shares of all sizes, and there are many people involved, which is not easy to keep secrets. Do you dare to collude with officials and businessmen? This itself is a supervision system. Therefore, the court can only get four shares. No matter how many, it will not even get one hundred shares in the end."
After wandering around for most of the day, he finally expressed his ideas.
He continued: "Before I came, I told several students that I would create a special zone."
“Singapore?”
"It is a special economic zone. It uses the mean to deal with the state government and create wealth with the knowledge generated by investigating things, making it a model and an example for reference by other officials. Gao Sijian, Wang Eunuch, after you go back, you should also bring my meaning to the court. Don't interfere. It is almost successful. As long as it succeeds, it may be the best reference model for the Song Dynasty's prefecture governance. It is not only a circle player, but also a kind of road of grace. Even Bashu, there are specialties of various states. For example, Yuan Zhizhou went to Raozhou and told me that Raozhou has Pengli Lake, Changjiang, Shegan River, and Pojiang River. It not only has the benefits of polder fields, but also the benefits of mountains, lakes, and Pengli Lake can also build ships. Jingdezhen has porcelain. This is the specialty of Raozhou's terrain. If you grasp it, after several years of governance, Raozhou will be rich."
Gao Ruonne knew the meaning of Zheng Lang’s special zone and understood the reason why Zheng Lang was not happy with the intervention of the Secretary of the Communist Party of China.
In fact, he stayed for so many days, not last year. When they first came to the Song Dynasty last year, they only saw the benefits of the molts. Several molts had not started and some workshops were not established. They saw the benefits, but they didn’t see much, so they were not very cautious.
But after this autumn, the harvest of sugar in the summer was fierce and attractive. "The veil was exposed, Gao Ruonai was not careful, and he himself liked Guan Shen's way.
Zheng Lang had not drunk much wine, but County Magistrate Wang drank a lot.
Hearing Zheng Lang's words made him feel very touched, inspired, and excited. Will the efforts of his own people become the goal of learning for all Song Dynasty officials?
The next day, the merchants gathered again, and Zheng Lang asked, "You all lived well yesterday."
"Not bad, not bad" answered together.
Yesterday, Zhang Dalang said: "The changes are really big. It's only three or four years. I didn't expect Wuhu to have this time."
Not only has the inn service level improved, but there are also many rich nightlife, which makes them very satisfied. It is far from the shabby appearance of Wuhu City in the past few years.
Another Buddhist man said: "The people said this is a city of miracles. I went around last night, and I believed it."
"Now everything is created and called it a miracle city, it's a waste. But do you feel that there are only a few thousand households in the city, like Su Yang, Hangzhou and Hubei, and 100,000 families cannot do it, but is the population of Wuhu City a little too small?"
"Yes...I understand." A surprise appeared in Zhang Dalang's eyes.
No more to say anything.
If you want to be good, you can’t rely on locals, and more big players will come from other places, and everyone will compete with each other, so that the pool of water will come alive.
I brought it to the workshop again. The method of making rock sugar is relatively simple. Re-cut the best white sugar and melt it, put it in the egg white to remove impurities. The key is to control the heat. When the heat is about the same, cut the new green bamboo into inch-long bamboo strips and pour in the melted white sugar. So yesterday everyone had a touch of a slight egg white smell, and at the same time felt a fresh smell, that is, the slight smell of bamboo slices.
After a night of solidification, it condensed into rock sugar. The reason why it was so fast was due to the egg whites, which not only shortened and melted the taste, but also accelerated the solidification rate.
I don't want to unravel the secret for the time being.
Take out the rock candy, and the blue-white rock candy strips are more like jade, crystal clear ears.
Zhang Dalang looked at it and said, "Why are there no powdered sugar?"
"That is the real frosting. It is new and does not condense. After a period of time, the sugar will bloom and form a small layer of light powdered sugar, shredded sugar, or called frosting." In short, it is not a product of distillation, and the lack of purity is the reason for the white frosting.
Each person divided a little.
It was asked to take them back, bring them up and advertise.
Zheng Lang took them to another place.
Or cotton products.
Some people have already known that "there are many in the south of the Yangtze River. The seeds of the two and three months of spring are... By the end of autumn, when the yellow flowers are strong and when they are ripe, their skin is four or more cracked, and they bloom like cotton (the cotton lined with wooden cotton. The natives use iron to crush the core to remove the cotton core. Those who take it like cotton use bamboo as a small guide, four or five inches long, pull the string to play the cotton, make it even and thin, roll it into a small tube, and spin it with a cart, and naturally it will be like a silky shape, and it will be weaved as a cloth without any effort..."
Jiangnan mainly refers to Lingnan, and there are also people from the Youth Committee to grow it in Fujian and southern Jiangxi.
Most of the flowers are yellow and white, which is the color of Asian coarse velvet cotton, the second most variety.
The seeds of the seeds are planted, that is, they are sprouted. They are like planting wheat. They are scattered in the ground, sprinkled with four or five seeds, covered with wood ash and pig manure, and allowed to grow and transport them. It is impossible to appear until 950 years later.
The little iron syringe, that is, a small iron stick, hit the cotton seeds and squeeze out the cotton seeds. Otherwise, if you really peel them one by one with your hands, it will be exhausted. Before Huang Daopo changed the apple process, he also used this method to remove the seeds.
Huang Daopo was so tired that this woman full of spiritual wisdom remembered to invent the seed removal machine.
The bamboo scent is also a small scent, and the cotton scent that is about one foot long is also very effective.
But the ancients also had the wisdom of the ancients. The cotton fiber was very short, and some mulberry and hemp were mixed into it. Gradually, cotton cloth became popular. But it was not the mainstream. None of the famous brand textiles in the Song Dynasty had "Jibebu" and "cotton cloth".
But from today, it will become history.
When I walked into the warehouse, I first opened a bed of quilts and cotton jackets for everyone to see.
It is impossible for the south of the Yangtze River to be as warm as spring. In winter, it will become cold and melting ice. In the year of the great cold, the area along the river can also be frozen three feet long.
Many people have heard of it, and this is the first time they have seen it.
The warm quilt has velvet and felt, so ordinary people have to feel a little aggrieved, with hemp quilts and quilts.
Kapok trees also produce cotton, but who is willing to use Kapok to plug a quilt?
A fat man asked, "How many quilts can acre of land be produced?"
He is a businessman and is very expert in the questions he asks. Seeing its benefits, but the output cannot keep up, the price will be high. A high price will inevitably hinder its popularity and commercial value.
"Last year, I sent someone to Wuling to find some seeds and tried planting methods. The yield was higher than that of Lingnan. However, because the seeds were not suitable, the yield was not favorable. For example, this kind of quilt can be made about eight beds per acre. But after a few years of transfer, it will be possible to increase it to twelve or three beds."
Now the yield of lint per mu is only fifty kilograms, and the seeds are gradually improving. There will be about 70 to 80 kilograms of lint, and there will be hundreds of ears of lint for high yields.
The cost is still high, but even fifty kilograms of lint can be popular.
They stroked the quilt with their hands one by one, which was a bit affectionate. After all, this is a new thing and has practical value, and they will also produce huge profits in their hands.
"No need to look at it. It will not be popularized this year until next year, and the output is not very high. There are some finished products. I plan to reward them to officials in the state. In the past few years, everyone has worked very hard. There are also some lonely, poor, filial and charitable families."
As he said that, he took them inside.
There are cotton products inside, and the entire set of craftsmanship is displayed. It is that simple. Once it is simple, the cost will be low, and once it is low, it will have commercial value.
Moreover, this is the Weaver Girl with the highest craftsmanship in the country. They don’t know Confucianism, but there are not many people in the world who can surpass them even if Jiangnan is backward, and hundreds of people cannot find compared to them.
It is still blended, but the exquisite craftsmanship is far from the Jibebu from Lingnan.
It feels good, and the silk and cotton are organically organized together, soft and smooth.
Everyone's eyes gradually lit up.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the four major things that ordinary people have in this regard, and each one has huge sales.
