Chapter 1507 Price Determines Arts and Sciences
In a remote valley in the western suburbs, there are a few acres of fields, Yun Xiu was trapped here, here can also be said to be Yun Xiu's nightmare, today this valley has ushered in a lot of guests, only to see a few people standing at the edge of the field, their eyes have been watching the field, but see a cow pulling a brand new rice transplanter walking in the field, a young man under the guidance of an old man, is using the rice transplanter, his face is full of excitement.
The people in Tanabe are Han Yi, Yuan Peony, Yuan Xi, Yuan Le, and the young man in Tanaka is Yuan Zhe.
Yuan Xi was present in person, which shows how much the Yuan family values this rice transplanter.
After a while, Yuan Zhe in the field rushed to the edge of the field with his bare feet standing on the soil, and said excitedly: "Grandpa, second grandfather, aunt, this rice transplanter is really very useful, this day can plant up to eight to ten acres of land, and only one person and one cow are needed, which can be nearly ten times more than before." β
The most difficult part of planting second-crop rice is people and time, because it is necessary to rush for time, and this rice transplanter perfectly makes up for these two points.
Han Yi said with a smile: "Not only that, but after the research of our Sage Sixth Academy, this rice transplanter no longer needs a chain, which greatly reduces the cost." β
Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's the best, we can do it ourselves." β
Han Yi smiled and said: "Uncle, what age is this, and you still do everything yourself, how high the cost is, and now our Yuan family is not short of manpower." It just so happened that a generation workshop was built in the southern suburbs, which was specially designed to manufacture wooden and iron tools for other businessmen, and this rice transplanter was entrusted to them to manufacture, and now there are not many people in our Yuan family in Chang'an. β
As soon as Yuanxi, the old fox, heard this, he knew that there was a sound outside the strings, looked at Han Yi suspiciously, and asked with a smile: "I don't know who opened this generation workshop?" β
Han Yi said: "Zhang family." β
"Which Zhang family?"
"It's the Duke of Tan."
Yuan Peony was slightly surprised and said: "Elephant Zhang, the head of the household? β
Han Yi shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with Zhang Shilang, it was opened by his cousin Zhang Daqi." β
Isn't that the same thing?
Yuan Xi nodded, of course he knew that there was no Zhang Elephant, and this could not fall on the head of the Zhang family than the business, since he was a household servant, of course he had to say something else, and the Yuan family was indeed short of manpower, and said: "As long as the price is right, it will work." β
Yuan Peony said: "Uncle, this deal is not so simple, there are still the Six Courtyards of the Sage." β
Yuan Xi didn't know about this, was stunned, and said, "Isn't the Sixth Court of the Sage an official office?" β
Han Yi sneered: "It's true that the official office is true, but in order to develop this rice transplanter, the Sixth Academy of Sages has also contributed a lot of money." β
Yuan Xi said: "That is also the treasury money, like this kind of agricultural tools, used to be made by the Ministry of Industry, and the drawings were distributed to various states and counties. The implication of this is nothing more than --- boy! Don't bully me, this old man doesn't understand the market!
Han Yi said: "The problem is here, don't hide it from the uncle, the Sixth Academy of the Sage has spent a lot of money for this rice transplanter, and now it has bottomed out, but there are still some days before next year, I have discussed with other ministers, hoping to increase the funds of the Sixth Academy of the Sage, but they did not agree, but after many discussions, they finally agreed to sell the drawings to the merchant as an additional fund." β
Yuan Zhe frowned slightly and said: "But this thing can be made by everyone, and it is not profitable, so we can use it ourselves." β
It's not that he doesn't want to pay the money, he's just lowering the price.
Han Yi said with a smile: "But not everyone can do it, there is still some technology needed here, and do it yourself, the cost is not necessarily lower than buying, you need skilled carpenters, blacksmiths, and you have to spend time to imitate, I don't believe that anyone has so many comprehensive talents, if you ask someone to do it, then it is better to buy." In addition, the ordinary people of this rice transplanter must not be able to afford it, in fact, there is no need for this, because the people are only a few acres of land, do not need to spend money to buy this rice transplanter, both hands are enough, it must be those landlords to buy, they do not lack this money, as long as a complete set of production chain is formed, reduce production profits, which is definitely profitable. β
Yuan Peony said: "In other words, we spent money to buy drawings from the Sixth Academy of Sages, and then entrusted the Zhang family to make them?" β
Han Yi nodded and said, "That's right." β
Yuan Peony said: "But in this case, the Zhang family can also make it themselves, then the drawings are just a passing hand for us, why don't you sage six courtyards sell the drawings directly to the Zhang family." β
Although they are a family, they have different positions, they can't be said to be a family, and they are all businessmen, so they are more shrewd than anyone else. The Yuan family didn't want to make money with this, they just wanted to use it, so they didn't want to spend money to buy drawings.
Han Yi said: "First of all, the Zhang family doesn't have so much money. Secondly, the Zhang family's foundry is only responsible for production, not sales, how can the Zhang family be compared with the Yuan family in Jiangnan, if the Zhang family is also responsible for sales, he doesn't even have a channel, how much money has to be invested in it, it is better to concentrate on production, so when the Yuan family cooperates with the Zhang family, there is a treaty on this aspect added to the contract, restricting the Zhang family to only help the Yuan family produce rice transplanters. β
Yuan Zhe said: "But most of this rice transplanter can only be used in Jiangnan, so why not put the foundry workshop in Jiangnan, in this way, it can also save freight." β
Han Yi nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, but this time, the Zhang family currently doesn't have the strength to open a large-scale foundry in Jiangnan, which still needs to be done step by step, second, in Chang'an, it can increase north-south trade and promote the development of Guanzhong Group, and finally, if the people in Jiangnan are recruited to work in the workshop, then who will cultivate the fields in Jiangnan?" Jiangnan is still dominated by agricultural trade. β
Yuan Zhe nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "It's still your uncle, you have thought it through." β
They are engaged in agriculture in Jiangnan, and there is no industry, and if they put all the industries in Jiangnan, it will not be dismantling their own platform. The words of Chang'an and Luoyang are different, this generation is densely populated, the fields are not enough, and there are a lot of manpower volunteers, which is why the handicraft workshop has risen all of a sudden.
Yuan Xi said: "Speaking of which, you haven't said how much money you have to donate?" β
In his opinion, how to operate is Han Yi's business, he doesn't want to ask, money is the key.
"A thousand times." Han Yidao.
"You are also a little too much, we want a rice transplanter, just to cultivate the land, and the profit of the rice transplanter will not be very high." Yuan Xi frowned slightly when he heard this, which seemed to him to be a bit much.
Han Yi said: "Among them, I will subsidize 500 yuan, and the Yuan family only needs to pay 500 yuan." Moreover, with the development of two crops of rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the demand for rice transplanting machines is getting higher and higher, and our Sage Sixth Academy will continue to improve this rice transplanting machine, and the follow-up improvement technology will be given to you for free, and your Yuan family will always master the latest technology, so in the market of rice transplanting machines, the Yuan family will always occupy a dominant position. β
Yuan Zhe wondered, "Uncle, why did you do this?" β
Han Yi said with a smile: "The garden is sold for five hundred yuan, and I can't let the price of the rice transplanter be lower than this price, because for industry and commerce, technology is fundamental." To put it simply, maybe it's just about the transaction of rice transplanters, but from a big picture, this is a game between arts and sciences, I hope to let everyone see that the future of industry and commerce, this technology is king, ignoring technology, will be eliminated, so that more people and the sage six institutes will reach cooperation, the sage six institutes will get sufficient funds, then more technology will be developed, and industry and commerce will benefit from it, and I just used a mere five hundred to get all this, Is there a more lucrative deal than that? β
Yuan Xi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." In fact, he didn't calculate the accounts clearly, but seeing that Han Yi himself took out 500 yuan as a subsidy, he knew that this was very important to him, compared to Han Yi's policy, 500 yuan was nothing.
After leaving the valley, Han Yi did not go to Yuan's house, but went south and went to the clay pottery workshop.
"Oops! The villain didn't know that Han Shangshu was coming, so I'm really sorry, I'm sorry. β
Tao Tu ran to the living room out of breath and apologized to Han Yi vigorously.
This kind of respect of the clay made Han Yi a little helpless, and he really wanted to offer him up.
"I said Lao Tao, can you stop groveling like this, do I dare to come to you in the future?"
"Han Shangshu, is there a villain who is not well entertained?"
"I really don't know how you got rich?"
"This is all Han Shangshu, you gave to the villain."
"Stop, when I didn't say anything." Han Yi rolled his eyes, he had already given up educating the clay, it was indeed impossible to educate, this was too honest and honest, too cunning and too cunning, and said: "I heard from your housekeeper just now that you were in a meeting in front of you, so I didn't disturb you." β
"Nope! No! The clay waved his hand again and again, and smiled embarrassedly: "What kind of meeting, the villain can only recognize the words, and the villain is discussing matters related to the production of pottery with a few craftsmen." β
Han Yi sighed and said, "Do you have any new pottery?" β
"Not for that." "Since the Ministry of Household asked our merchants to register their trademarks, many old customers have come to me in the hope of ordering some pottery with their trademarks printed on them. β
Han Yi said: "They still react quickly!" β
Those businessmen are not stupid, they are now standing at the top of industry and commerce, and their goods are the best, so when they went back to ponder, they found that this trademark can indeed bring them huge benefits, especially Datang is facing the nationalization of goods, since they want to do this, then why not be thorough.
The clay said: "But this is also a good thing for the villain, the villain's pottery, Han Shangshu you also know, the style is a little special, if it is made into exactly the same goods, put it in the store to buy, it is not suitable, and the customized one is better." β
His pottery was full of art, and it was not the same before, so custom-made ones could play to his advantage, and now the merchant wants to be unconventional and distinguish himself from other goods, which is what he does best.
Han Yi nodded with a smile, and said, "But don't take care of others, you have to put your own trademark under each piece of pottery, aren't you also going south." β
Tao Tu was stunned and said excitedly: "Oh, thank you Han Shangshu for your advice, the villain remembers." β
In fact, even if he doesn't understand, he will do it.
Han Yi smiled helplessly, and said with a straight face: "Actually, I came today to ask you to help me make something." β
"Han Shangshu said that it doesn't matter, as long as the villain can do it, no matter what it is---γ"
"Stop, stop." Han Yi said: "I'm looking for you to do business, what are you doing so far." As he spoke, he took out a design drawing, handed it to the clay and said, "Look at this, can you help me make it." β
The clay hurriedly took it and looked at it, and asked curiously: "What is this?" β
Han Yi was afraid that the clay would go to great lengths to help him get it, and he didn't even care about his own business, so he wrote lightly: "This thing is just an idea of mine at present, it is for convenience, and I know whether it can be done or not, so if you can do it, it doesn't matter if you can't do it." β
"Convenient?"
"It's going to the toilet."
Toilet? Conception? The taste is really high! Tao Tu Mu nodded and said, "The villain knows." β
