Do you want to start your own factory?

The seemingly casual question made Jiang Fangzhong's heart tremble suddenly, and he immediately realized that he was now a slave of his Shi family. His heart was punctured, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Young master, young master, the old slave was blinded by lard for a while, thanks to the young master's words, he woke up! The old slave is guilty, and the old slave is guilty. ”

The surrounding craftsmen just watched this scene quietly, although many of them were Jiang Fangzhong's relatives and apprentices, but at this time, they couldn't interject, after all, this was someone's "family matter".

"Actually, it's nothing. People go to high places, and water flows to low places! ”

Looking at Jiang Fangzhong with a smile, Shi Yiwen said lightly.

"You want to run your own factory, it's not a big deal, in fact, this blowpipe method can't be hidden, you are all experts in making glass, I said it again, you almost know how to do it, and then you think about it, it's nothing!"

Shi Yiwen's tone seemed very calm, even if he was a house slave...... There are also domestic slaves who kill their masters. Even if he is kept by his side by his side, he can still pass on the skills to his son. After all, this kind of half-way selling himself to the house slave is selling himself, not a family.

"The twisted melon is not sweet, so since you want to set up a factory, I will take out 5,000 taels of silver to set up a glass factory, and this glass factory will be handed over to you, counting you as a part of it, what do you think?"

Kneeling on the ground, Jiang Fangzhong, who originally only thought that he would be a connoisseur, forgot to beg for mercy, he raised his head and looked at the young master in surprise, and said after a while.

"Young, young master, this, this makes the old slave ......"

Before he finished speaking, tears had already flowed down Jiang Fangzhong's face, and then he kowtowed vigorously and said.

"Please rest assured, the old slave will definitely run the glass factory for the young master from now on, but if he dares to have the slightest selfishness, the thirteen members of the Jiang family will not die well, and they will be cut off from their children and grandchildren......"

The oath is very heavy, but it doesn't matter to Shi Yiwen, in fact, deep down in his heart, he likes such ambitious people, and ambitious people must be capable. And more importantly, in the face of the gentry group from Jiangnan, he must strengthen his strength as much as possible.

Sometimes, people like the one in front of you can also be a choice.

"Childe, why do you want to spare him, at this time, you should order someone to die with a stick, and the family law is the right one."

Xu Sicheng, who had been watching from the sidelines, asked incomprehensibly.

"Now instead of caring about it, I still let him run a factory alone, even if it is to win people's hearts, which is inevitably too lenient."

Facing Xu Sicheng's rhetorical question, Shi Yiwen first pondered for a moment, and then said.

"What do you think Lugou is now?"

His rhetorical question reminded Xu Sicheng of a term he had heard Shi Yiwen mention in the past.

"Industrial park?"

"It's not just an industrial park, it's an incubator, it's an incubator for industry! What do you see here? ”

Unfortunately, this office is not a building, and there are no glass windows, otherwise if you push the windows, you can see the factories that stretch for miles.

"Now, in addition to our factory, there is already a weaving factory, and there is a dyeing factory, in less than a year, there are more than a dozen factories and workshops here, with tens of thousands of workers, the former riverside beach, has become a modern industrial park, where will the future development be?"

Looking out with his eyes, Shi Yiwen's tone seemed a little dignified.

"In the future, this will become the cornerstone of Daming industry, and the changes that are being set off here will subvert the entire tradition of Daming, and the power of industry will definitely destroy the traditional handicraft industry, just like our spinning machine, a machine top a thousand workers! You say, what will happen to traditional handicrafts in the face of the power of industry? ”

Shi Yiwen's rhetorical question made Xu Sicheng not feel stunned, he really hadn't thought about it.

"What will happen?"

"Of course they will fight back, they will not be able to compare with us in terms of productivity, but they will definitely not compete with us in terms of productivity, they will suppress us through another means."

"Childe is talking about officialdom?"

Xu Sicheng's expression couldn't help but stagnate, and his tone also changed, how could he not know that the wiring village in Jiangnan and the intricate connections between all walks of life and officialdom were not aware of the wiring village in Jiangnan, and the relatives of many officials themselves were engaged in business and commerce, how could they sit still in the face of competition from Lugou.

"Yes, it's officialdom, they will use the power of officialdom to suppress us and restrict us, the power of technology is powerful, but power can destroy everything!"

The possibility of power destroys everything!

Although it seems alarmist, Xu Sicheng, who was born as a scholar, doesn't know that this is also true.

"Now Lugou seems to be prosperous, but in fact, it has no foundation at all, we have neither the intertwined relationship network operated by the Jiangnan gentry in two hundred years, nor the umbrella smashed out of Shanxi salt merchant silver, don't forget, even our second assistant, that is also from a salt merchant family, in comparison, what do we have?"

Pursing his lips, Shi Yiwen asked rhetorically, but his eyes became extremely firm.

"Nothing but technology, so to speak. But now that someone is attacking us, we don't even have the power to fight back, you say, what is this? It's just a fortress built on the beach, and with just a gentle push, we can fall into a place of no return. ”

Looking at Shi Yiwen sitting there, Xu Sicheng, who was still happy about the development of the company, finally realized the crisis.

"So, what are we going to do?"

"The power of the individual is limited, the power of the group is infinite, now, we need to strengthen the group, grasp the core by ourselves, through the output of technology, to strengthen the power of this industrial and commercial group."

Again, Edwin mentioned why he did it.

But he ...... It's just a craftsman who can do business. ”

What can that Jiang Fangzhong be used for? It's just a craftsman.

"He does, but what do I need now?"

Looking at Xu Sicheng, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"What I need is to use him to tell everyone that I have a way to turn stone into gold, and I have a way to make people soar, so you should hurry up and come and meet me!"

"Meet you?"

Xu Sicheng said in surprise.

"Who's coming to see you?"

"What do you say?"

Blinking at Xu Sicheng, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Don't forget, there's more to the capital than just an English duke."
