Section 763 The Middle-Class Scheme(2)

As a former civil servant, Zhang Yue knows too well the importance of domestic demand!

Domestic demand is a symbol of national strength and the foundation of the empire's struggle for hegemony!

Strong domestic demand is enough to dominate the world.

Domestic demand comes from the people's consumption.

There are many things that need to be done to create domestic demand.

For example, the provision of jobs, the construction of infrastructure to promote employment, and then the development of finance, services and trade.

However, many things can be omitted before the Common Era.

Zhang Yue only needs to do one thing.

That is to provide people with an incomeful job!

No matter what it is!

Just like some time ago, when the channel was overhauled, the transferred people could be left to serve for a fee if they performed well after completing the period of conscription they were supposed to serve.

This immediately increased the number of middle-class families in Xinfeng by a few hundred.

Although, after the completion of the project, it fell.

However, the wages earned by these migrant workers during their service have enabled their families to live a comfortable life this winter.

To a certain extent, it has also stimulated Xinfeng's consumer market.

But that's not enough!

Temporary projects are difficult to give birth to a group of long-term stable middle classes.

Only a stable market demand can create a stable middle-class family.

In the current situation, the people of Xinfeng want to rely on their own hands to reach the middle class in a short time.

It's hard, it's hard!

Unless in the future, the apprentices of Xinfeng Workshop Park will become a recognized skilled craftsman.

At that time, maybe Xinfeng will break out into a middle-class boom.

But for now, in the short term, it is not visible.

Because......

It is likely that in the future, when these apprentices can be discharged, profit-seeking merchants will choose to lay off them and recruit new ones.

Unless someone can master the technology, most apprentices will probably have this fate.

This is something that Zhang Yue cannot tolerate.

But it is also a reality that is very likely to be staged.

The blood and darkness of capital, for those who have not experienced it, may be unimaginable.

Even in later generations, are there still fewer sweatshops?

Has the matter of treating workers as means of production disappeared?

No!

It's all around us, right around you.

It's just a change of name, re-dressed, and a little better in terms of appearance and appearance.

But the essence has not changed.

Therefore, Zhang Yue has no way to seek profit-seeking capital and change his nature.

He had to find another way to find another way.

Just like now, he thought of the way.

Replace it with small workshops and small handicrafts, and strengthen the small-scale production mode based on the family unit.

However, it is impossible for these small workshops and families to compete with the big ones, let alone the machines of the future.

So......

Zhang Yue had to work out a tech tree for these small workshops.

A tech tree that works for them.

A product line that can avoid being crushed or wiped out by large workshops in a short period of time.

And the brick and tile industry couldn't be more suitable.

Before large-scale mechanized production, manual work was the core of the brick and tile industry.

Even better, it's a small investment.

How much does it cost to burn bricks by hand?

I'm afraid that in addition to coal, it is strength!

In addition, furniture is also a promising business.

Because even in later generations, the single furniture manufacturing industry in the countryside was also very popular.

And the expansion and renovation of Xinfeng City is the best time!

With this opportunity, we may be able to support hundreds of stable emerging middle class households.

And explore the feasibility of this path!

Thinking like this, Zhang Yue left Yang Xu, who was still in a daze, and ran to prepare a plan.

This made Yang Xu a little uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to wait in place.

There's no way - it's obvious that Zhang Chiyou is the biggest!

…………………………

Zhang Yue ran back to his bedroom, found pen and paper, and began to write a plan.

I haven't written it for a long time, and it's a little rusty.

Soon, though, he was in shape.

After all, he had been dealing with plans and reports for more than a decade.

"First of all, brick kiln ......"

Zhang Yue picked up a brush and drew a simple brick kiln structure on paper.

It's simple!

In the countryside in the 90s, adobe kilns were everywhere, and many lives were lost - most of them were because the kiln owner wanted to see the burning situation of the brick kiln, and rashly climbed up without doing a good job of protection.

As a result, brick kilns that appear to have been extinguished are still burning and releasing deadly carbon monoxide......

Therefore, it is enough to warn and prohibit people not to go to the kiln for three to four days after the brick kiln is lit.

As for the design of the brick kiln, there is no need to work hard at all.

You only need to find a mountain wall, hollow out the part, and then you can use it as a kiln.

Zhang Yue didn't even need to go back, and easily drew the basic structural diagram.

Then, it's time to form the red bricks by hand.

A pair of wooden molds and a wire saw for separation, both are very simple things.

Such a brick kiln that can be operated by a family or even a single person can be put on the ground.

Such a brick kiln can fire at least thousands of red bricks for construction at a time.

It can basically meet the architectural needs of the most basic Japanese-shaped house of a Han family.

If a red brick is sold for one dollar, it is thousands of dollars of income.

A family can also fire four kilns a year, which is almost 20,000 yuan.

Infinitely close to the middle-class standard of the Han family!

Moreover, this kind of small brick kiln can also be used for industrial upgrading.

It becomes a pottery workshop or a porcelain kiln.

For the pre-AD Han family, it was the most suitable family project.

Moreover, it is very effective in promoting employment!

If a small brick kiln is operational, as the scale of the industry expands, it will definitely have to hire workers.

But the brick kiln is all manual work, so the wage cannot be low!

At that time, there may be a case of brick kilns robbing people in the workshop garden, which will force the workshop garden to make concessions to the workers in order to keep people.

Of course, this is just an idea.

Zhang Yue didn't dare to pin his hopes on this matter.

So......

He also had to work on a project that would make it easy for future Workshop Apprentices to get started.

Thinking about it carefully, the advantages of the workers in the workshop garden.

Needless to say, Zhang Yue knew that the biggest advantage of these workers was that they were trained to become qualified industrial workers in the workshop garden.

Understand production, understand order, understand discipline!

So......

They are best suited to take over the primary products of the workshop.

The future development direction of the workshop park is intensive assembly line collaborative production.

With the development of the workshop garden, many small and unprofitable things will be transferred to production.

It's like the industrial transfer that happened on the earth in the future.

So......

The grinding of all kinds of wooden structure parts and iron castings is promising!

Of course, this is something that needs to be considered later.

The current problem is how to use capital to operate the construction of Xinfeng New City.

Holding the pen, Zhang Yue gently tapped on the table.

As a former civil servant, Zhang Yue never thought about taking money from Xinfeng's treasury to build a new urban area.

There is no need for the treasury to come up with money for such a thing as commercial development!

"After the shantytowns in the old city are demolished, the vacated space can be used to attract investment...... Zhang Yue thought to himself, and wrote it on a piece of paper.

Last time, in order to attract investment, the workshops settled in the workshop park were all land provided by the Xinfeng government, and even the road construction and other corresponding supporting measures were all paid by the government.

At that time, it was to attract the phoenix, so it had to bleed!

But now......

In the whole Guanzhong, who doesn't know that the workshop garden is a place where you make money every day and make money by lying down?

Therefore, Xinfeng finally has the capital to make money by selling land!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but bow to tears.

Is it easy?

It's not easy!

Thinking about how to pull policies, find resources, and deliberately launch various preferential policies.

Finally, it's harvest season.

If you don't work well, how can you cope with your hard work?

Therefore, he worked hard to write a book, copied many advanced experiences from later generations, and then changed them to conform to the current situation.

Subsequently, more than a dozen development projects were listed.

In addition to the Workshop Park, there will also be a shopping area, a food court and a commercial and entertainment area.

When it comes to making money, there are really few people in the world who can have more ideas than the traverser.

Especially in the commercial and entertainment area, Zhang Yue plans to find a vacant land near the Huiqu Ranch outside the city and build a pool field.

Then engage in pool games and sell bets through competitions.

This is definitely a project that is making money every day!

And there's more to the pool pitch than just betting on football.

In the future, it can also expand the horse racing industry and polo industry.

This is to clearly compete for business with the flower street and willow lane of Chang'an City.

As far as Zhang Yue knows, the leather and meat business in the willow lane of Nahua Street is actually just a low-profit project, but it is just a place for entertainment for ordinary people.

But how much money do little people have in their pockets?

How can you compare with those gentlemen who do not hesitate to spend a lot of money?

Therefore, in the willow alley of Flower Street, the real money-making business is all kinds of games that appear regularly every five days.

Through cockfighting, dog fighting, juju and other gambling projects to earn money from Chang'an gentlemen.

But......

How can cockfighting, lackeys and juju have the excitement of billiards and horse racing?

Not to mention, Zhang Yue can also sell gimmicks.

Organize slave dance performances, orchid performances in the Western Regions, and magic shows to warm up the scene.

The only doubt is that this thing Xinfeng Official Office is not suitable to come forward to organize - it will be sprayed to death by public opinion!

When a plaything's disgraced hat is buttoned up, it's hard to get rid of it.

But......

You can find Gongsun Yi!

He is a young man, and it is only natural for him to make money for the Son of Heaven.

And when today's sub......

As long as you have a little money, you don't care what others say!

Thinking of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Yue put down his pen.

He knew it was time to go back to Chang'an.

What to do when you go back?

The first is to report on the work situation, and to the leaders, we must report and serve often.

Don't be afraid of trouble, and don't be afraid that the leader will think you're troublesome.

Because what leaders like most is that their subordinates are sensible and obedient.

This is Zhang Yue's experience in more than ten years of civil servant career, and he has almost never encountered failure.

The second is that you have to go back and send the money.

This time, Zhang Yue called the autumn wind from Yuan, Tian, and Yang, and he had to pay half of his filial piety.

In addition, half of the profits in Xinfeng Workshop Park have to be sent back.

Five baht is a good thing.

Good stuff, of course, to share!

Otherwise, why did the Son of Heaven escort Xinfeng? Why should you support him?
