Chapter 670: Increasing Income
In a few years, only gear technology was widely used in the workshop, but it was relatively difficult to produce these gears.
Don't look at the fact that there are many craftsmen in the workshop, and there seem to be a lot of horse-drawn carriages, chariots and other equipment processed, but in fact, the cost of producing these things is very high.
Each part needs the technical support of craftsmen, and Li De is not in a hurry, what he needs is for craftsmen to master the technology to excellence.
In Youzhou City, the business of merchants is easy to do and earn a lot, in fact, the craftsmen are also paid a lot.
In order to remind the craftsmen of their technical level, the reward and punishment system of the workshop was specially formulated, and it is very simple to get a high salary as long as you have the ability.
At present, Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue are in charge of the left and right affairs of the craftsmen in Youzhou, and the two brothers are in charge of the overall situation and the other is supervising the inside of the workshop.
Reed's role is to provide a development plan and supervise the R&D department in the inspection workshop, and the craftsmen who produce need to have people who make the products.
are indispensable.
"Yu'er, how are the accounts of the vanguard recently?"
"The vanguard's income and expenditure are basically balanced, and the commercial support of Liaobei is much better than it was three months ago."
Lord Jade replied quickly.
The financial situation of Youzhou City and the vanguard is separated, and all the commercial income of the vanguard belongs to the vanguard, and the economy of northern Liaoning is the vanguard's horse convoy for freight exchange.
All the things that run the merchant are done by the Pioneer Firm, and it is also the main source of income for the Pioneers, in fact, the trade between the two sides is still very profitable, but due to the fact that the workshop has invested too much in research and development, it has led to the situation of recruiting a budget three months ago.
After the operation of the commercial bank, it was difficult to make up the accounts.
"The investment in the workshop is too large, and according to the current income and expenditure, if you invest more, you will inevitably lose money." Lord Jade reminded.
This is no longer a matter of how much the vanguard earns, the key is still in Li De, his words may cause losses.
On the other hand, the income of the Youzhou City Government is very good, mainly because of the merchants' taxes to accumulate economic capital, which is relatively more secure than the trade of the vanguards, after all, the number of shops in the sixteen states of Youzhou is there.
In addition to small vendors who do not have to pay taxes, shops are subject to percentage tax, as long as there is no tax evasion and tax evasion, there is no problem in making normal profits, and there will be no excessive tax burden.
"Speaking of this, I also want to remind you that the current financial benefits of the City Guard Mansion are very good, if the financial resources of the vanguard continue to decline, they may need the financial support of the City Guard Mansion in the future, and how to balance the interests of both sides at that time, you have to think about it early."
Yujun has been in charge of accounts for so long, and he understands the current rules of separation of power between Youzhou and the vanguard, once one party is weak and slowly relies on each other, then things will not be simple.
Just like the current vanguards, there are many times when there are overspending, and if they really rely on the financial income of the city guard to balance the income and expenditure, it is probably a joke to talk about decentralization again.
How could Li De not know this, it is very important to be in charge of finances, and the current finances of the City Guard Mansion are in charge of Li Xuan, and he has not said that he wants to let go.
The current system has not yet been perfected, and why not put it in place at one time is actually out of long-term considerations, and the current vanguard force is only in northern Liaoning, and it is very detrimental to the future development to stereotype everything.
What is said to be easy to fight the country and difficult to defend the country is to be afraid that someone will stagnate.
"Don't worry, I know in my heart, don't look at the current expenditure of the workshop, the value it can create will far exceed the current expenditure." Li De said confidently.
"If only you had a good idea." The Jade County Lord obviously didn't believe it, and he didn't care much about Li De's character, anyway, he just controlled the vanguard.
Whenever the vanguard is fundamental.
I have to say that Lord Yujun's concerns are not unreasonable, even if he has confidence, but other people are just as confident.
"It seems that it's time to go to the workshop and take a look at it, so that there will be no chaos first."
Li De thought in his heart, and did it when he thought of it, this is his style, so he directly took the Jade County Lord to the back house of the Governor's Mansion and told their mother about the two of them.
Mother Zheng was naturally happy about the matter between the two, and immediately found Li's father to discuss the marriage.
Li De didn't want to stay to discuss all kinds of trivial matters, so he found an excuse and went to the workshop to inspect.
The Youzhou Workshop is not in Youzhou City but in a very hidden suburb, surrounded by the barracks of the vanguards, and now it has gradually developed like a small city.
Except for the lack of city walls, the construction of street houses is basically not much different from that in Youzhou City, and it is mainly residential areas, and the residents are all workshop workers.
Li De didn't go directly to the workshop to inspect it, those places were all jingling and there was nothing to see at all, but came directly to the management department of the workshop.
Today, I happened to see that all the Lu brothers were there.
"Governor, if there is anything you can command."
The Lu brothers are all for Li De's consideration, to say that the distance between Youzhou City and the workshop is not close.
Li De chatted with them for a few words, and then went straight to the point.
"What is the output of the processing equipment?" Li De asked.
"5,000 sets of hand drills, 3,000 sets of cutting machine tools, 20,000 sets of pliers, shovels, various hammers and other tools, the recently produced new looms have been put into production, and there are currently 5,000 sets of stocks, and the workers are still making." Lu Xingxing immediately introduced.
Li De nodded, the application of these things involves all walks of life, hand drilling, cutting machine tools, which have been applied in attack and defense.
It is precisely because of the industrial base of the new tool workshops that it has developed so well, and the loom is the main thing produced by the carpenters.
The drawings provided by Li De have not yet been applied, and these things involve the cooperation of commercial banks.
"How is the training of the weavers, and can they meet the requirements?" Li De continued to ask.
"After six months of training, their technology is now fully capable of using and solving all kinds of problems with the loom, and the weaving workshop has been completed, and now the raw materials are missing." Lu Xingxing replied.
"Now it's time to start recruiting workers and do a good job of preliminary training." Li De said.
Lu Xingxing has been preparing for this kind of thing for a long time.
Li De saw a new loom in the warehouse, this loom is an improved version of Jenny's loom, the weaving speed is very fast, which is now incomparable to hand-made.
With technology comes application.
The cotton needed to process the cloth had already cooperated with many businessmen two years ago, and these things were not food, so the large quantities were grown secretly.
Very good businessmen are very powerful, the purchase price is relatively high, it is precisely because of this that those businessmen will take risks, two years I believe those businessmen may not be able to wait.
