Seeing that Yang Lihua didn't know each other, Yuwen 'called the beast' to give an example to illustrate the importance of 'open-mindedness', he said that the number of people employed is only one of them, and the key is the associated industrial prosperity.

For example, in a large blacksmith shop with an iron-making furnace, the owner had to hire blacksmiths and apprentices, and then he had to recruit furnace workers to make iron, and he had to arrange for these people to eat and live.

The iron-making furnace must have raw materials for iron-making, so the supply of iron ore is needed, so the business of the iron ore owner will come to the door, and the iron ore naturally has to hire people to mine, and the manpower is indispensable.

Once you have dug iron ore and want to transport it from the mine to the blacksmith shop, you need to hire someone to transport it. So someone else's business came.

If you have to hire a boat by water, you have to hire labor to unload your goods at the wharf, and if you have to hire more coachmen by land, whether it is a car or a boat, when the demand is great, the business of the coachman, the boatmaw, and the lumberjack will come to the door.

The iron ore was transported to the blacksmith shop, and the raw materials were solved and fuel was needed, so the demand for charcoal was large, so the charcoal kiln owner had business to come to his door, so his charcoal kiln also had to hire manpower.

Even small families can make their own charcoal to sell, and a large amount of charcoal is transported to the blacksmith shop, and the business of the car and boatman is also there.

By analogy, other similar industries will also lead to an increase in related demand, and if the industry is prosperous, more people will be employed, and people who will come to work and earn money to support their families will also gather in the city, and they need to settle down and buy rice and vegetables.

In this way, the residents of the city can rent out their houses, the rice shops and markets will become popular, and even the surrounding farmers and vegetable farmers can pick rice and vegetables to sell in the city, and the business of the wine shops and teahouses will also improve, and the business of small vendors such as selling cooking cakes will also become better.

The increased demand for food and the improvement of business even with those who raise chickens, ducks, fish, sheep and pigs are the benefits of such traders.

"This is the so-called industrial chain." Yuwen said earnestly.

"However, the business of this blacksmith shop must be prosperous" Yang Lihua asked again, in fact, she also wanted to say that Zhou Guo was a salt and iron franchise, although she didn't know the specific situation of the blacksmith shop, but if there was an iron-making furnace and a scale, I was afraid that it was already under the jurisdiction of the government, where would it be the turn of the businessmen to operate.

"So that's the crux of the matter." Yuwen 'called the beast' and began to get excited, "How to increase the demand for the iron products made?" ”

He said that the need for iron products is nothing more than farming and warfare, and iron farming tools are needed for farming, so the demand will be great at the beginning, but the farmers who buy iron agricultural tools will not buy more except for the loss, and there must be wasteland for land, or new people to settle down to grant land.

The wasteland in Bazhou is limited, and the people who are willing to move there are also limited, so there is another use to support the demand.

That is, to fight, to build the armor of the soldiers, weapons need a lot of iron, and especially arrows are consumables, although in the field 'no more than three arrows', but the form of combat is diverse, can not be generalized.

For example, defending the city or attacking the city, the archers on both sides can't stop shooting, of course, it takes strength to pull the bow and release the arrows, and the strength of the archers is limited.

Archers during the siege or defense of the city can not be less, with two thousand archers, from morning to night to release arrows from time to time to rest, at the end of the day that is 160,000 arrows, if the weight of an ordinary feather arrow is four dollars, it is the consumption of four thousand catties of iron arrows, if the city offensive and defensive battle takes ten days and a half months, the use of feather arrows can be a lot.

Although feather arrows can be recovered on the battlefield, they still have to be prepared before the war, and there may not be many feather arrows recovered afterwards, especially when the arrows fall into the water during water battles, they are equal to gone, not to mention those armor-piercing arrows with heavier arrows, so the iron consumption of feather arrows alone is not small.

This is still an ordinary battle, now the Zhou and Sui armies are fighting, and the war is spreading from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, not to mention anything else, the feather arrows consumed by the Shannan Zhou army alone are not low, so as long as there is a battle, there is no worry about the business of the blacksmith shop.

Yang Lihua was silent when she heard this, she didn't know what the concept of shooting four thousand catties of iron every day was, but she heard that her husband seemed to be keen on fighting, although the fame must be taken immediately, and as a magistrate, the assassin Shi was not exempt from using soldiers, but she heard that her husband regarded war as a business.

When the soldiers talk about fighting, they think of making meritorious contributions, but the person next to her actually thinks of pulling 'demand', Yang Lihua feels that this kind of thinking is too exaggerated, and I have never heard of anyone giving this meaning to war since ancient times.

"It's not for the husband to boast, from April to the present, there have been many battles, and countless feather arrows have been consumed, and the production of feather arrows requires not only arrowheads, but also fish gelatin, arrows, bamboos and feathers, and these alone have made fishermen and hunters make a lot of money."

"The craftsmen of the Bazhou Ordnance Prison have earned a lot of wages for their families by working overtime to make arrows, and they are more generous in buying rice and vegetables, and even dare to buy meat, so those hawkers have also made money."

"I sent someone to the east of the city at the crossroads to squat next to the cake stall under the big tree, in the past two months, Lao Li's business has been good, and the average number of people who buy cooking cakes last month has increased by 30% compared with the previous month."

"This" Yang Lihua wanted to say something but couldn't say it, her husband actually stared at a cooking cake stand, this strange focus surprised her, and specially sent someone to squat to count the number of people who bought cooking cakes, this kind of behavior made people speechless at all.

"It's a good thing that consumption is increasing, so the second type of businessman is what the husband needs."

"It turns out that the husband let the shopkeeper Li wonder they are all" Yang Lihua suddenly realized, she was very smart and had realized the intention of the husband: to cultivate manufacturers and promote demand, the main purpose is to attract people to settle in Bazhou.

"That's right, if the demand is high, the manufacturer has to recruit people, so there is no need for the state government to mobilize, and idle people from other states and counties will come to Bazhou to find something to do."

"Manufacturers need policy support, that is, official support, and the husband can strongly support it, but if it is replaced by other officials, it may not be." Yuwen was very happy, he successfully instilled the concept of a manufacturer, "There is also soap, if there is a change of state official, and Li Fang has no one to cover it, then the process will not be saved." ”

"If they want to make money, they have to rely on their husbands, and as long as they are husbands, they can make a lot of money, so it's not a question of buying or not buying."

Bazhou has to build the river embankment on the north bank of the Santai River, and also build more water conservancy facilities, which requires a lot of stones, so the quarry's business will not be bad.

Quarrying requires a lot of manpower, and transporting stones also requires hiring coachmen and boatmen, and if there is no labor to hire on the borders of Bavaria, they naturally have to hire people in other places.

"Another point, the land is granted to open up wasteland, and many places are some distance from the city, and the state government is preparing to organize people to settle outside the city and form villages." Yuwen 'called the beast' and began to talk about the inside story, trying to create a bright future and let the other party feel at ease to 'open his mind'.

Building materials are needed to get a house, although they may not be able to afford bricks and tiles, but things like wood are indispensable, and Xiyang City and Bahe City should also be expanded to accommodate more people.

When the demand comes up, the demand for employees hired by various 'manufacturers' will naturally rise, and the number of people gathered in Xiyang City will gradually increase, and the so-called clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the business of related industries will also flourish.

Cloth shops, rice shops, carriage and horse shops, cake stalls, tea stalls, sewing stalls, and even medical clinics will make money, raising chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, pigs, and vegetables.

As there are more people, social order will deteriorate, so it is imperative to increase manpower to maintain law and order, and even the number of people with jobs in the yamen will increase.

Yuwen "Calling the Beast" describes the benefits of "letting go of the mind", but Yang Lihua thinks that it is too wishful thinking, and the premise of all this is to create demand for manufacturers.

water conservancy facilities, it is enough to repair them for one or two years; The city expanded and built villages, and the prosperity stopped for a while; In battle, you may not be able to win every time, not to mention that there will be no less rewards and pensions; When all this comes to a standstill, the people who have gathered will naturally disperse.

The most important thing is that the government needs to spend money and grain on a large scale of construction, craftsmen need to pay wages, and laborers at least have to take care of it, but it is the 'manufacturers' who make money.

Yang Lihua has been exposed to a lot of things, and she also knows that there are some dirty methods to solve this problem: you can deduct the wages of craftsmen, let the laborers solve the problem of eating by themselves, and even levy the people to serve for free, which can effectively reduce the government's expenditure.

But this will make the people complain, and sooner or later it will trigger a civil uprising, she knows that her husband is not this kind of official, so the so-called support for manufacturers will definitely be beyond their means in the end.

Except for the increase in farmland and the increase in rent, the government has no benefit, in fact, it is a disguised transfer of government money to businessmen.

Those businessmen will be grateful for this? Are you a fool?

If one day the government stops working, the businessmen will complain and curse why the state officials don't give them work, so that they can't make money.

If someone else says anything to support the manufacturer, Yang Lihua will feel that this is wishful thinking, judging from her husband's consistent performance, she doesn't look like a fool, so she has a judgment: Husband has a smooth sail this year, so she is a little carried away, and thinks that she can get her wish.

Do you want to persuade? Of course to persuade, but not now.

Yang Lihua knows that it is useless to persuade now, if she does not follow the rules, she will be disgusted, she is not in the main room and is not qualified to argue with her husband, and her husband is excited to mention it, not to ask for her opinion, this point must be clarified.

The husband just wants to share the joy with others, and he thinks he is in control of everything under his arrangement, but he can't tell outsiders, so he can only share it with his wife and concubine at home.

So what she has to do is to ask some questions appropriately, and not pour cold water on one after another, and her husband can also get great satisfaction by explaining the problem, and when the situation changes later, she can listen to it, and then she can help solve the problem together.

Having made up her mind in her heart, Yang Lihua did not ask any more questions, seeing her look of admiration, Yu Wenwen felt a little lost in her heart, just like the 'calling beast' who tried to make a failed transaction, and was a little unhappy.

He babbled on and on, not to show off in front of women, he didn't get carried away to prove that everything was under control.

Businessmen are righteous, and they do everything for profit, and the late Ming Dynasty Jin Shang is a good interpretation of this, of course he knows this characteristic of businessmen, but if it can be guided, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

The people of this era know that businessmen are greedy and profit-seeking, but they can't do without businessmen, so the ruler has an attitude of using and pressing, Yuwenwen knows that there is a difference between middlemen and manufacturers, and he doesn't plan to press the latter.

The bloody history of hundreds of years since the Age of Discovery shows that merchants do dare to do anything in order to pursue profits, but the choice of manufacturers and middlemen will be different, and people in this era may not be able to understand.

If you don't want to take the initiative after saying so much, then don't blame me for being the overlord.

Yuwen was annoyed and angry, tore off his gentle mask, looked at Yang Lihua, who still hadn't 'let go' of his thoughts, and finally saw the dagger: "Your son made my knee hurt, and it's your turn to hurt my knee tonight!" (To be continued.) )
