Li Zhong and other Fangling businessmen looked confused. After a long time, Li Zhong cautiously asked, "Dare to ask Lord Taishou, what is a factory?" ”

Guan Ping patted his head, this word is indeed fresh. So Guan Ping said: "The factory is a workshop, a big workshop. I plan to recruit female workers in Fangling, Shangyong. There are four hours during the day, and I stay in the factory to weave cloth. ”

Li Zhong and other businessmen immediately understood when they heard this, and they understood when they said that it was a workshop.

"Dare to ask Lord Taishou, how big a workshop do you need?" Li Zhong then said cautiously.

"It's huge. It's huge. Guan Ping touched his chin, and then said: "At the moment, there is war in the north, but there are still millions of people. Plus Bashu, Jingchu, Jiangdong, the total population of 120 million is always there, right? Among these people, as long as they have a little wealth, they will wear clothes made of silk cloth. How much clothing do I need in a year? Then the silk cloth leads to the Western Regions, the northern grasslands, the mountains and other Diyi. You say, how much cloth do I have to produce in a year? ”

Li Zhong and other businessmen were dumbfounded, this question is a bit big, and the brain hole is a bit big.

After a long time, Li Zhongcai was sweating, and he was embarrassed: "Lord Taishou, this villain is really difficult to calculate." ”

Guan Ping pondered for a moment, changed the question, and said: "If I recruit 5,000 female workers for silk cloth, a female worker can weave one piece of cloth in five or six days, and five pieces of cloth in a month. 5,000 women workers are 25,000 pieces of cloth a month and 300,000 pieces of cloth a year. Probably able to occupy the Yanhan cloth business, geometry? ”

Li Zhong was still very embarrassed, shook his head and said, "As Lord Taishou said, the population of Yanhan is one or two million. Coupled with the Diyi in the southeast and northwest, the Diyi in the mountains are like Shanyue, the Di people, etc., and there are still 20 million people. But how many of them wore silk clothes? How much silk cloth will be consumed this year, but it is impossible to calculate. But if you can produce 300,000 pieces of cloth a year, it's really not trivial. ”

Guan Ping understood, this appetite was too big all of a sudden. The Yan Han people, plus the Diyi population, consume countless amounts of cloth every year.

According to the population of more than 100,000 in the Fangling area, it is already the limit to be able to recruit 5,000 female workers. At present, it seems that the commission cannot control the entire market.

Guan Ping thought about it for a while, so he said: "The so-called factory has many benefits. First, it can stably produce cloth and consume cooked silk thread. The second is that women weave full-time cloth, and they are certainly more skilled and able to weave quickly than women who weave cloth at home. According to the number of 5,000 women workers we recruited to set up a factory, the number of cooked silk threads purchased was very large. Is it possible to buy cooked silk thread from silk and linen merchants at a lower price? ”

This is a normal question. When Li Zhong heard this, he said, "Return to Lord Taishou." If the purchase volume is large, the price can naturally be lowered. The villain knows a lot of silk and hemp merchants in Bashu and Jingchu, and this can be contracted to the villain. ”

"Since we can buy wrenched silk thread at a lower price, we can sell cloth at a lower price. Over time, wouldn't it be more difficult for those small workshops, little women's weaving business? There is no business to do. As long as we have a large amount, cloth merchants from the north and south should come to our house to buy cloth, right? ”

Guan Ping asked again.

Guan Ping was not a businessman in his previous life, but this is a simple truth. The purchase of goods from large factories can reduce the supply of goods even more, the ex-factory price is cheaper, and the technology is definitely better, thus squeezing out small factories.

The population of the Fangling area in Guanping is only a little more than 100,000, but Guanping can slowly increase the population by co-opting black households among the mountain people.

Guan Ping estimates that it should reach 200,000. And Guan Ping's goal is to reach a population of about 300,000, and I don't know what to do yet, but the goal is this.

Only with a population of about 300,000 can we raise 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers.

Of the 300,000 people, the urban population should be 100,000, and it is not necessary to recruit female workers, but also to recruit young girls. It is not difficult to recruit 10,000 people from it.

A factory of 10,000 people can produce 600,000 pieces of cloth a year. Not to mention anything else, it is definitely the only large-scale weaving factory in Yanhan that is second to none.

Lower the purchase price and sell it at a lower price than the cloth on the market. Thus getting in and out quickly.

It's hard to say the profit at present, but it can drive 10,000 female workers to produce, and 10,000 female workers may mean 10,000 households.

It is to drive 10,000 families to become richer together.

So let's not talk about profit or not. Let's just say that the mountain people in the Fangling area, the farmers living in the plains are fine, and the mountain people in the mountains are really bitter haha.

Guan Ping, as the county guard of Fangling, has people under his rule who are not well fed and clothed, which is definitely a shame for the traverser.

Improving people's livelihood is the top priority.

Besides, if people's livelihood changes. Then the prestige of the Taishou will rise, and the recruited soldiers will be more loyal to the Taishou.

That's also a benefit.

All in all, there are many benefits to starting a factory. If Ma Sheng can improve the loom and increase the efficiency a little bit, then it will be better.

This is Guan Ping's idea.

And Li Zhong and other businessmen were dumbfounded, because before this, the entire Yanhan did not have such a large factory, 5,000 female workers!

But by buying wrenched silk thread at a lower price, you can sell the cloth at a lower price. This will have a huge impact on the cloth business, not to mention anything else.

Every year, the cloth produced in the Fangling area can be sold first because of the low price.

This ensures that the cloth in hand will not be overstocked in the warehouse because it cannot be sold.

There is no way for other cloth merchants to compete.

If you have the ability, you can also buy cooked silk thread in large quantities.

The silk and linen merchant can sell you cooked silk thread at a lower price.

You can negotiate the price of buying a thousand catties.

Buy ten catties and negotiate the price?

Solve the problem of sales, no matter what kind of business, it is a big profit.

Li Zhong and the others were businessmen, and they immediately became excited. But then I was discouraged again, because this business can only be done by Guan Ping.

With the right of Fang Ling Taishou, he could naturally recruit 5,000 female workers to set up a factory.

And with the ability of a merchant, can you recruit fifty people?

Girl, can a woman enter the merchant's factory with confidence?

This requires the signboard of the government and the identity of Fang Lingtaishou. Of course, if you do this as Liu Biao, you will definitely have an advantage over Fang Ling Taishou.

But will Liu Jingzhou care about the cloth business?

That is to say, Guan Ping, a traverser with a convulsive brain, will care about the cloth business, and will use the real estate of the factory to improve the living standards of the people under his rule, and make some money to enrich the finances by the way.

"This is indeed a good business, my lord." Li Zhong talked with a few businessmen, and Li Zhong said with his hand.

"So be it. I came out of the land, I came out of the loom, and I also came forward to set up nine factories in nine county towns and recruit 5,000 female workers to produce cloth. But the sale of cloth, the purchase of cooked silk thread, and the day-to-day personnel management are left to you. I'll give you 30% of the dry shares, how about it? ”

Guan Ping asked.

Recruiting 5,000 female workers will produce 600,000 pieces of cloth a year.

The profit may be more than 10,000 gold a year.

If thirty percent of the dry shares are divided, the amount of gold that will be distributed will be as high as thousands. Not to mention, what if the factory is expanded in the future?

At first glance, Guan Ping suffered a loss.

But in fact, the accounts are not calculated like this, the market, the purchase of cooked silk thread must be done by someone, of course Guan Ping can send civil officials to do it, but obviously the merchant is definitely more good and more convenient.

Let the civil officials buy the cooked silk thread, then it will definitely not be as good as the businessman.

If you want to make money, you have to make a profit and let others make money too.

This is the same as fighting a war, the soldiers and horses are not moved, and the grain and grass go first. If you don't have money and food, where are the soldiers willing to help you fight desperately?

Therefore, Guan Ping gave Li Zhong and others three percent of the shares, and when the factory was set up, he would be a hands-off shopkeeper. Of course, the accounts must be clear, and it is certain that civil officials should be sent to monitor the accounts.

And businessmen such as Li Zhong are not stupid. These people are all local businessmen in the area of Fangling County, and each of them has a lot of wealth, but Li Zhong, who has the most wealth, only has seven or eight hundred gold.

And Guan Ping came forward to set up a factory, and the profits were unimaginable. Thirty percent of dry stocks, a year's income is simply terrifying.

Therefore, Li Zhong and other five businessmen responded to this errand and willingly worked for Guan Ping.

Well, it's a bit too much to say it's a wage earner.

I guess it's a partner.

And running a factory is not just a matter of doing it. There are nine county towns in Fangling County, and the mountain roads are so far away that it is impossible for all the female workers to gather together and set up a large factory with 5,000 people.

It is necessary to set up factories in each county, buy cooked silk threads and distribute them to various fields, and sell them in a centralized manner.

The population of the nine counties is different, Fangling and Shangyong two counties have more populations, and the other seven counties have much less populations.

The number of workers to be recruited in each factory needs to be reasonably calculated from the perspective of population.

This is followed by the site, the manufacture of looms, and the rules and regulations.

There are also inspectors arranged by the government, accounting offices, and so on. Guan Ping not only consulted with Li Zhong and others, but also asked Sun Qian to find a Zhu Cao Xiaoguan who was more proficient in financial management to participate in the discussion.

Arrange things properly, and when the spring of next year begins, the factory will be up and running. And Li Zhong and other businessmen also provided a more appropriate plan.

"Your Excellency. We have produced fabric, and we have sold it to Bashu, and Jingchu also needs personnel costs. It is better to choose a flat place to build a market on the south bank of the Han River in the north of Fangling. There was little cloth in the north, and many merchants came to the south to buy it. Although our Fangling is located in a remote area, since the price of the cloth sold is low, it will attract merchants from the north to buy cloth. In addition, Hanshui leads to Bashu, Jingchu, and there are smooth roads to the north, which are not remote. Li Zhong said energetically.

When businessmen saw that it was profitable, they were naturally in good spirits. When I came, I was like a cat, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and I was cautious.

There is no way, the status of businessmen is neither high nor low.

But because the family has money, what I am most afraid of is that the government is worried about it.

When Li Zhong's group of businessmen came, they were definitely conscientious.
