What is the most important change brought about by the industrialization caused by the steam engine, which is the substantial improvement of production efficiency!

The Geng family spent a lot of money to customize the equipment used to produce porcelain, which brought a great increase in production efficiency!

With the same number of workers, they produced more than ten times more porcelain!

Because in the past, every porcelain needed craftsmen to make one by one, but now, most of the processes are driven by the steam engine, and the machine can carry out it by itself.

Although the quality of the porcelain produced by the machine is not as good as that of the skilled master, it can even be said to be of inferior quality, and it is the same, the same style of porcelain, it is the same, and there is no sense of art at all.

However, the production efficiency has been greatly improved and the cost has been greatly reduced, which allows the Geng family to focus on the low-end market of porcelain.

When the Geng family's mechanism porcelain, with less than one-third of the price of traditional porcelain into the market, it instantly detonated the domestic porcelain industry change, although the quality of Geng's porcelain is not good, compared with the traditional hand-produced high-quality porcelain, there is no comparison, but it is cheaper!

And cheap is to represent competitiveness, after all, the porcelain used by ordinary people in daily life is actually not so high, the most important thing is cheap!

In the low-end porcelain market, Xuanping has been in the past eight years, making the Geng family another family that broke out because of the industrial break out after the rise of the empire!

At that time, Geng Youhua was also disheartened and began to preside over the family business after losing the imperial examination twice.

Anyway, their Geng family was not a century-old wealthy family before, and it was just an ordinary landlord family in Sanshui, Guangdong, with a lot, but it was definitely not a lot of fields, with a porcelain kiln, counting up to three generations, without any officials.

Geng Youhua himself is not a seed of study, when the imperial examination failed, he was also like his father and grandfather, he began to accumulate family business, and then trained his offspring to study, and he did not have any psychological burden to give up the imperial examination to take over the family business and business.

He is different from Yang Cheng, the Yang family is in Jiujiang, but the whole mansion can be regarded as a first-class prestigious gentry family, scholarly family, there are people as officials from generation to generation, his father is also a former Ming Zhishi official, Yang Cheng is a descendant of the Yang family, this imperial examination will naturally be under great pressure, and pointing fingers is inevitable.

However, Geng Youhua will not be like this, because their Geng family has no reputation at all, and there is a difference of 108,000 miles between them and the famous gentry and scholars.

Now his eldest son has a good academic performance, and in Shanghai County Primary School, which brings together many gentry children and young geniuses, he can barely reach the middle ranks, which is not easy for a child who does not have much family background.

The teacher of the county primary school in Shanghai's special county told him that as long as his boy continued to maintain this momentum, it was very likely that he would be admitted to Songjiang Fu Middle School in the future.

This is Songjiang Fu Middle School, even in the whole country, the fierceness of the competition is no less than Chengtianfu Middle School, Jinling Middle School, Suzhou Fu Middle School, and it is ranked among the top five in the country.

, and there is also a chance to apply for Guangdong preparatory schools in the future.

If his son could read it in the future and enter the officialdom through the imperial examination, their Geng family would be able to barely get out of the level of the rich man in the countryside or the business nouveau rich.

After several generations, and there are more outstanding scholars from generation to generation, even if there are people in each generation who are officials, but they are barely a gentry family, if there are people as officials from generation to generation, more middle-level officials, and for more than a hundred years, after a hundred years, their Geng family can also become a scholarly family in the eyes of the world.

It's the same as today's Songjiang Mansion and Chen Lifu's family.

Although Chen Lifu's Chen family now has only him and his sons in the long house, although Chen Lifu's reputation in the gentry class and even in the officialdom is not very good, no one can deny that the Chen family is a typical contemporary scholarly family, an official family, and a century-old wealthy family!

Speaking of Jinling Dongchen, no one knows the huge Jiangnan, anyone who has some insight can know that this is a wealthy family that has been an official for hundreds of years, and in the past 20 years, it has been a wealthy family with four jinshi!

As for the current Geng family, it naturally has nothing to do with the prestigious gentry and scholarly families, and there will be no public opinion pressure if they give up the imperial examination to do business.

For the future, Geng Youhua is full of hope, he has an average talent for reading, but he has a smart and studious son!

The burden of improving social status can only be handed over to his son, but to make his family live more prosperous, and to give his son a better way to study and even pursue a career in the future, the burden of making money falls on him.

You must know that the empire is now very strict in the governance of officials, and in the eyes of anti-corruption, countless inspectors and imperial historians want to catch corrupt officials and then get promoted to make a fortune, so when they are officials in the empire, the risk of corruption and bribery is very large.

And the rise of Chen Lifu can be said to be a good example for many officials who have been promoted!

Chen Lifu is rich, and it is not rare to have a little bit of petty profit from corruption and bribery, so he can work hard for political achievements in the officialdom without any burden.

You can accuse Chen Lifu of other problems, but you can't accuse him of corruption and bribery.

Although Geng Youhua despises Chen Lifu's personality very much, and thinks that this person's part-time job is a group of scholars and a cancer in the gentry class, he also has to admire that he is an official, which makes others unable to grasp the slightest handle.

He hopes that after his son joins the ranks in the future, he will be like Chen Lifu, he doesn't have to worry about money at all, and he can be an official without any burden and strive for political achievements.

He also hopes that his son can say to those who accuse him of corruption and bribery: Money, what our Geng family has, can't be guilty of corruption!

Don't be an official for money, this is what he expects of his son!

So why is he an official, naturally for the sake of status!

In thousands of years of history, the idea of the official standard in China is very strong, and the Tang Dynasty is no exception.

It is almost inconceivable for a gentry family to stand for less than a hundred years and continue to prosper without descendants joining the ranks.

Gaining social status for the family is his son's business, and he himself wants to solve his son's worries!

And now it seems that Geng Youhua has initially achieved his goal!

Since a few years ago, as the eldest son of the family and the first person in the Geng family in a hundred years, he has strived to enter the era of mechanical production in the family's porcelain business, and their Geng family's wealth has exploded.

Although it was not long after the rise of the Geng family, other porcelain merchants quickly followed up, and they also purchased machinery and equipment to establish a new type of mechanism porcelain factory, but with the first-mover advantage, the Geng family's porcelain business was still doing quite well.

Over the years, their Geng's Geng's porcelain company has become the largest supplier of low-end porcelain in Guangzhou, Guangzhou, of course, even if it is the largest supplier of low-end porcelain, but the actual market share is not large, because there are too many porcelain manufacturers, a small Guangzhou mansion, there are hundreds of large and small porcelain factories and workshops.

Who made Guangzhou the most important treaty port of the Tang Dynasty for trade in the South Seas and even to Europe, and the demand for porcelain in overseas markets is almost endless, so there are naturally many people engaged in the porcelain industry.

It is a pity that the mechanism porcelain produced by the Geng family is mainly concentrated in the middle and low end, and the main focus is still the cheap low-end market, and even the competitiveness of the mid-end market is not very large, so the export trade has nothing to do with the Geng family porcelain company.

Overseas trading companies spend a lot of money to organize goods and fleets to go overseas, naturally need to bring competitive, but also high value-added goods, even if it is not high-end porcelain, the worst must be mid-range porcelain, otherwise, it can't be sold at a super high price, and it is a big loss for these overseas trading companies.

Last year, under the leadership of Geng Youhua, Gengjia porcelain company was no longer satisfied with the two Guangxi markets, and began to enter the porcelain market in other parts of the country, and many domestic porcelain companies and even traditional porcelain workshops to fight, but unfortunately they mainly made low-end porcelain, the previous factories were in Guangzhou, plus the cost of transportation, in Liangguang and neighboring southern Jiangxi, southern Fujian and other regions are still a little competitive.

But the distance is far away, and after the transportation cost comes up, this price is not enough to compete with others.

After all, a few years have passed, although the Geng family ate the first crab, but everyone is not stupid, and other porcelain merchants have also quickly followed up with mechanical production.

Everyone's production costs have been reduced, although the Geng family's technology is better, the experience of the Geng family is richer, and the production cost is a little less, but your transportation cost has come up, and the price is naturally not competitive.

Therefore, Geng Youhua will come to Shanghai, not only to set up a branch, but also to set up a branch factory in Shanghai to offset the disadvantages of transportation costs, and then with their Geng family's rich experience in mechanical production of porcelain accumulated over the years, continue to lower prices, and completely pry open the super market in Jiangnan!

Geng Youhua came with ambitions, and the opening of branches and branches in Shanghai is related to the strategic investment of more than 200,000 taels of silver, so he is naturally very cautious, paying close attention to Shanghai's commercial market, and also focusing on the policy trend of the empire.
