Chapter 264 The Purchasing Power of the People-Currency in the Song Dynasty
After Zhuge Liang came to this bankrupt state-owned enterprise, he quickly completed a batch of generator production projects. So he had time to ask what kind of industry a country that was a thousand years behind needed the most.
"Needless to ask, of course it's agriculture." Manager Wu, the person in charge of the group, answered his question, "You have to eat before you can work." ”
"Is it modern machinery for irrigation, harvesting, sowing and so on? Can we do it here? ”
"There are definitely a few companies in the group that can do it, but I think it's best for them to start with the pot camel machine first."
The pot camel machine, a kind of power machine that has been eliminated and used in conjunction with a steam engine, can be connected to a water pump to pump water, and of course it can also be used to power sowing and harvesting. It's just that after the appearance of small diesel engines, he gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
Manager Wu's meaning was to hope that the Song Dynasty would be able to start with simple and low-level techniques.
This is a very common logic, that is, the Song Dynasty, under the guidance of the Splendid Kingdom, quickly completed the road of scientific and technological development that took a thousand years to complete. But time is too slow for such a process. Zhuge Liang can't wait.
"If we move the production line to the Song Dynasty, use the cheap labor and ore there to produce, and then ship it back to sell, we should have an advantage in terms of cost."
Manager Wu pondered for a moment. He knew what Zhuge Liang meant, hoping that the Song Dynasty would be able to directly grasp the high-level scientific and technological productive forces. However, for the Song Dynasty, this practice is a bit of a sprout, for the Splendid Country, if the productivity level of the Song Dynasty is too close to the Splendid Country, then the capital output of the Splendid Kingdom will encounter obstacles. In the whole process, the only one who benefited was Zhuge Liang's newly established celebrity group.
"It's really worthy of being a businessman, and it's really worthy of being able to use the name of Zhuge Wuhou." Manager Wu sighed in his heart. Of course, he didn't know that Zhuge Liang didn't just use a name.
"That might not be good for the country." As the boss of a state-owned enterprise, although Manager Wu has been a self-financing enterprise after the separation of government and enterprises, the national feelings in his heart have not decreased much.
"The celebrity group, too, has half of its income going to the treasury."
Manager Wu sighed, since there were still some benefits to the country, he didn't say anything more. Now the management rights of the state-owned enterprises under the celebrity group are already in the hands of Zhuge Liang. Although they are at risk of going out of business for various reasons, the historical heritage of most industrial enterprises is still there, and even the R&D capabilities are still there.
"The key is the problem of raw materials, the production line can't be passed, and the raw materials of ore or something have to be imported from here."
"Let's start with iron smelting. To make the army of the Song Dynasty an invincible existence in the era of cold weapons. ”
Manager Wu looked at Zhuge Liang and found that he didn't have the idea of arming the Song Dynasty army with **, so he no longer worried about the national defense and security of the Splendid Country, in fact, he was worried, and it was useless.
So under the arrangement of Manager Wu, Zhuge Liang quickly found the manager of a state-owned ironworks. This company is now also a company of the celebrity group, and it is only because the iron ore in the area of frequent activities has been basically hollowed out, and the price of raw materials has risen and triggered the collapse of the capital chain, so it is facing the risk of bankruptcy. However, when they heard that there was another country that was not inferior to the Splendid Country, they had not yet started mining iron ore, and they were overjoyed at the time, and now they had gone to gather their team and prepare to cross through the past as a whole.
After taking care of these things, Zhuge Liang went to the nearby agricultural market and bought a large batch of seeds, basically peppers, carrots, tomatoes, eggplants, and some potatoes and sweet potatoes that had already sprouted. All these will improve the agricultural environment of the Great Song Dynasty. …
Although he didn't get printing equipment and papermaking equipment, Zhao Zhen was still very satisfied with what Zhuge Liang brought back to the Song Dynasty, but now is not a suitable season for sowing.
"Why don't you get some wheat varieties that are resistant to cold and lodging, the autumn equinox is coming, and you have to start planting wheat."
Zhuge Liang screamed "oops", it is really a wise man's thousand worries, and the yield of the wheat varieties that have been hybridized by the offspring can be much stronger than the wheat varieties in the north now. So, Zhuge Liang hurriedly unloaded the goods, and then led the convoy back to the 21st century farmers' market.
Compared with the busy Zhuge Liang, Huang Xiaohua's life is much more comfortable. Carrying a camera and a few brothers of Zhao Zongshi, I visited all the ** brothels in Bianjing. At every turn, he took out his camera and asked the beautiful prostitute to take a picture with him. The sisters who sing songs in the teaching workshop are usually the most well-informed people. They had long heard that a country from thousands of miles away had come to Tokyo to pay tribute. It also brought a lot of strange things. I heard that the emperor took a fancy to the truck they brought, so he authorized the emperor's relatives to receive these barbarians. Seeing that this thing in Huang Xiaohua's hand was fresh again, there were not a few people who took the initiative to come up.
But Huang Xiaohua didn't dare to stay in the place for long, he didn't have copper money to pay the bill. Coupled with these ** just for themselves, they didn't care about the few clans who came with them at all, Huang Xiaohua knew that Zhao Zongshi and a few others couldn't stay anymore. If they leave like this, there will be a banquet at this table, but who should settle it?
He only has a dozen copper coins dug out by his father on the construction site, and most of them are from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they may not be recognized here. Did the male director Tao directly take out the yuan? What are you kidding, the novel has been popular for more than ten years, and he Huang Xiaohua has also watched it for more than ten years, although it is impossible to wipe out all the books left, but there are not many fish that have slipped through the net, but he has never seen anyone who can go out of the yuan in Da Song Hua.
Huang Xiaohua gritted her teeth, and while Zhao Zongshi and the others had not left here, she took out a hundred-yuan bill, handed it to the old bustard here, and asked: "This is my splendid country coin, you can see how much it can be worth here." ”
Paper money is not a strange thing for the residents of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the residents of Bianliang City in Tokyo. Those businessmen who sell Shu brocade usually walk on the road with Jiaozi. After arriving in the capital, they had a special exchange agency to handle the business of exchanging paper money for copper coins.
The old man had just received the hundred-yuan bill, and he was surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows.
"Yo, this is much more exquisite than that Jiaozi." A well-looking head of the upper hall said, "No matter how you look at it, it must be worth dozens of times." ”
When Huang Xiaohua heard this, she was ecstatic. I don't know if I can buy two bags of noodles for 100 yuan. But in the Song Dynasty, it appreciated significantly. You must know that Cao Bin destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the reward was only 200 yuan. Although it has been decades of inflation, dozens of times have been able to build a small courtyard in the bustling city of Tokyo.
But the matter is not over yet, just the first to get the banknote of the old bustard, after hearing these words, glared at the head of the line, scolded: "I taught you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child, and in the end I don't even know a word, don't you see, it is written here." ”
The head of the line hurried up to look at it, and found that there were three words written horizontally on it.
"Circle", "Bai", "One". The first line was read word by word, but I didn't understand what it meant.
The old bustard couldn't figure it out, so he had to look at Huang Xiaohua with questions. …
Huang Xiaohua had no choice but to explain: "That's read from left to right. ”
The head of the line and the old bustard reappeared and watched it again, and finally read out the "one hundred yuan". However, how much is one hundred dollars? They had no choice but to turn their questioning gaze again.
The sweat on Huang Xiaohua's body flowed down. His original intention was to find out what he could buy for this hundred-dollar note. If he were to speak for himself, wouldn't what he had just done equivalent to doing nothing?
So Huang Xiaohua came to the conclusion: "You see how much it should be worth." ”
When the prostitutes heard this, they began to whisper. Another line leader said, "I think even if you buy it just as a painting, it can be worth a hundred times." Look at this painting, although I don't know this person, but he painted like a real person, compared to those sour people who pay attention to gods, but the painting is much better. ”
My sister was right. 100 yuan, 100 yuan, and rhyme, it's better to settle it like this. ”
The sweat on Huang Xiaohua's forehead fluttered down like a Huangguoshu waterfall. Seeing his expression, Zhao Zonghan leaned over to him and asked, "Huang Xiaolang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"No, nothing." Of course, he will not admit that the renminbi is grossly overvalued. But the sweat he had already shed had to be explained, so he stepped forward, took the note, walked to the windowsill again, and raised it up to look at the sun.
During the whole process, the prostitute and the woman were curious to follow him, so they first saw the pattern on the other side of the banknote, which was faintly transparent, and the head of the person appeared faintly on the left side of the front.
For a while, their exclamations spread through the surrounding streets and alleys. Zhao Zonghan also understood, it turned out that Huang Xiaohua felt that the value of that piece of money was underestimated, so he sweated nervously. In the end, he couldn't even help it, and directly demonstrated to them the wonder of this money.
After such a fuss, the value of the hundred-dollar bill immediately skyrocketed. Some people are even willing to pay a thousand dollars for this bill. Huang Xiaohua didn't say a word, and immediately agreed to apply a hundred yuan, in exchange for five feats of destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty. He's running out of money to buy some souvenirs to go back.
