Chapter 79: Brainstorming
As soon as he thought of it, he summoned a ruffian under Xiao Liang and asked him to invite a few "black blacksmiths" to listen to it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info dogleg poop fart went.
The salt and iron tea and wine of the Great Song Dynasty are all franchised by the government, not only the raw materials need to be purchased from the government, but also the manufacturing license is also required, which is the legendary "introduction", salt and wine and tea are introduced, which is the same as the "approval index" of later generations. In other words, the kind of genuine iron workshops in the market are monitored, and there are strict regulations on what is allowed to be made, and how much iron can be used also requires approval.
Then the people who can get the indicators will not be too simple, and they will always have some inextricable relationship with officialdom. It is not forbidden to build bearings, but at the moment, Gao Fangping does not want to be involved with these people with complicated relationships.
So there is a need for "black blacksmiths", these people ask for a low price and are relatively easy to control. On the surface, it is easy to pass, after all, even if you don't create forbidden things, but the action is too big, and a large number of blacksmiths are gathered to serve under your command, this problem is a capital crime in the military general, and it is also somewhat sensitive in the civil official.
At dusk, the ruffian sent back and said embarrassedly: "My lord, forgive me, you originally ordered to find more people, but you were incompetent, and only found two people to listen to and use." ”
This was somewhat unexpected by Gao Fangping.
The efficiency of the government has been as low as it has been in successive dynasties. And the extent of the demand of the people is clear. The iron workshop with the franchise rights obtains monopoly benefits, and the price is very clumsy, so there is a demand and there is supply, just like the black cars that became popular in later generations, in fact, there are many craftsmen and masters in the Great Song Dynasty.
But there are few craftsmen in a huge Beijing, which really surprised Gao Fangping, which is as exaggerated as the fact that Shanghai can't call "Didi Taxi" when you go out a thousand years later!
Thinking about it, Gao Fangping looked at Fu'an.
"I did run more than 30 dens. But no one was found, and they said that they had traveled far away. Tomiyasu, who had gone with him, nodded, agreeing with the ruffian's statement.
"Very strange......" Gao Fangping frowned, back and forth.
Fu An said: "It's enough for two people to think about it, the small ones have been tested, and their skills are good......
"Shut up! This problem is serious! Don't interrupt my train of thought! Gao Fangping interrupted.
In this way, everyone was so frightened that they lowered their heads, and they didn't understand why Gao Fangping was suddenly in such a mood?
At some point, Gao Fangping stopped and said, "Fu'an, you have a lot of experience and are familiar with the market, you come to tell me, where may these craftsmen in Beijing gone?" ”
Tomiyasu didn't dare to be careless, and thought about it carefully: "People who make a living on the black market won't stay long, and they won't stay in one place for too long, so some people traveling far away can be explained. ”
Gao Fangping said: "It is reasonable, but it will only be a small part, think about it again." ”
Fu An said again: "Throw out those who leave Beijing, after all, it is risky to make a living illegally, and this kind of person is arrested after capsizing, and there are many people who are assigned to fill the army." ”
Gao Fangping nodded again and said: "It is also reasonable, Pei Yancheng is a cannon battle, and his rule is quite severe." And Lord Liang Zhongshu cares about the official reputation, in order not to affect the interests of the powerful people of the Daimyo Mansion and not to be hated by the people of the Salt and Iron Division, it is also possible to make efforts to rectify the black blacksmith. But it's not all, think again. ”
Fu An said embarrassedly: "I don't know the rest, forgive me." ”
Gao Fangping said: "Linghu Chong." ”
"The end will be." Lin Chong hugged his fists.
"You are not a local, you are not eye-catching, take Niu Gao to the market to inquire secretly, I don't care how much it costs, Lao Tzu must know that with such a huge market demand, where are these blacksmiths." Gao Fangping Road.
This arrangement is because Lin Chong is strong in martial arts and is not afraid of plotting, but in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, in fact, Niu Gao, a person who survived in the market, is more clever, Niu Gao is the mainstay, money opens the way, and Lin Chong protects him. It's better that way.
After they left, Gao Fangping turned to Xiao Liang's helper and said, "Go and tell Xiao Liang that I need the prison records of Daimyo County, and I want to know how many people in the entire Daimyo County have been sent to the army for casting iron without permission in the past two years, which is a record." ”
The helper hurriedly went to find Liang Yanei.
"Adults, do you still need small ones?" Two blacksmiths who are said to be good at holding their fists.
Gao Fangping's complexion slowed down, handed them the drawings of the four bearings he had drawn, and said, "Study it and see if it is possible to build it." ”
The two guys were embarrassed and the head of the sect finally understood Gao Fangping's drawings.
Then they carefully raised many questions, and Gao Fangping knew everything and answered them. In the end, the two guys understood Gao Fangping's intentions.
One of the experienced guys said: "This idea is very novel, and I haven't tried it before. But in the experience of villains, such a thing can be produced. But there is a problem that the use of axles involves load-bearing and long-term wear. The pieces that have not been forged cannot withstand the toss. However, if the forging is strengthened by hand, it is almost impossible to present a perfect geometric form, that is, it is not round enough, and the irregular shape will exacerbate the wear and tear of the iron. It's almost an unsolvable cycle. ”
Gao Fangping said: "I don't understand what you said, that's your business." I am responsible for putting forward ideas, and you are responsible for turning Lao Tzu's ideas into practical ones. Don't be afraid of trouble, try more, use your brain, the bigger the brain, the better, with the method you can think of, cast different bearings to load the load experiment, you can know which ones are better, those are worse, and then select a few better ways, with different groups of people to develop separately, in the process of practice, slowly correct and improve. This process is called creation. Isn't that easy? ”
The blacksmith took a deep breath: "There are too many people and money needed like that. ”
Gao Fangping said: "The money comes to ask me, and I will help you." The government asked Lao Tzu to top, your only job is to open your brain, and then go to work hard and work hard. Do you have any more questions? ”
"It's gone." The two guys spread their hands, satisfied that this adult was such a simple and simple person. I feel like I've got a good meal.
Gao Fangping said: "Very good, you are simply Lao Tzu, from today onwards, you will be the long-term worker of my Gaofu for a period of fifteen years." In addition to enjoying fixed offerings, I will soon study the reward and punishment system. Rest assured, as long as you are willing to create, my reward will not disappoint you. ”
The two guys knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude. Don't want to be happy.
In this era, not everyone has the opportunity to work long hours, and working long hours in the homes of officials is the second best occupation, second only to officials in the government. As for being an official, it is certainly the best profession in the past, but it is still washed and slept for ordinary people, don't think about it.
"Why are you still stunned, why don't you go and open your brains with a hammer?" Gao Fangping drove them away, and then little Lori also followed curiously to see, she cared most about her "pulley".
It's really burning money, and iron is a very expensive thing. After all, that thing can be used directly to mint money, for example, Shuzhong and Shaanxi are still using iron coins instead of copper coins. In addition to iron, coke is also a high-end product exclusively owned by the government. These are all monopoly profits, and if you don't want to attract the attention of others, you have to use these things in large quantities to keep your mouth shut.
So not everyone can afford to play this bite. The Great Song Dynasty entered the Iron Age very early, but did not rely on coke and iron to climb the industrial tree in large numbers, one of the reasons is that it is too expensive, the threshold is too high, and the government does not act. However, folk creators cannot explore and experiment as easily as they manipulate wood.
Another is that in ancient times, there was a society where secret recipes were rampant, and there was no relatively fair reward and punishment system, patent protection law or something, and it was more difficult for others to share their inventions.
Gao Fangping gave them the order to open their brains and burn money, so I believe that after a certain period of time, they will be forced to solve the process problem of the high-temperature furnace, the bearing needs marbles (steel balls), that thing cannot be forged, and abrasives must be used, so for the sake of strength and durability, as long as there is money to burn in, these brain-opening guys can be forced to solve the process problem of pouring and continuously improve the strength.
They are experts in these issues, Gao Fangping will not pretend to be forced, as long as he grasps the rewards and whips, gritted his teeth and throws money, he will produce results.
"Rich hooligans put on official hats again, it's easy to do things, this feeling is very good."
Gao Fangping laughed when he was alone again, but when he thought of the blacksmiths who had disappeared, his face became heavy again, these people are the important weapons of the country.
What's the problem? Gao Fangping had a vague bad premonition, maybe this problem would be very serious!
"The surname is high, you are not there!" While thinking about it, a female voice suddenly scolded outside the door.
Guan Sheng went out to take a look, and came in with his neck bent and silent, so there was no need to ask, Liang Xiwen came.
"Gao Fangping, are you here?" Liang Xiwen shouted again.
"No, don't bother me." Gao Fangping shouted.
Poof.
Liang Ximing outside covered his stomach and laughed, feeling that this kid was actually a very happy existence.
"Come out! Something to ask you! Liang Xiwen said loudly.
"If you have something to say directly, this official will not be verbose with people who are not polite." Gao Fangping Road.
"Did you see my Mimi, it's a white puppy?" Liang Xiwen made excuses outside.
Hearing this, Guan Sheng and Fu An shrunk their necks and disappeared, leaving Gao Fangping to hold on in the courtyard.
"Don't talk nonsense here, your dog has been lost for a few days, and now you are pretending to look for it, obviously trying to fool me." Gao Fangping said with thought he was smart.
"Okay, the little thief is really you, if it wasn't for you to eat, how would you know that the little have been lost for a few days!"
In the angry scolding voice, Liang Xiwen rushed in without any ladylike demeanor, chasing Gao Fangping with a broom.
