Chapter 132 Industrial Development
At present, the industry of Yunnan Commercial Bank, in addition to Yunnan Bank, only has 900 acres of official land, and its strength is a little thin.
Li Yi changed the name of the movable type printing library to Yunnan Printing House, and the traditional Chinese medicine workshop that had grown and expanded, which was originally under the jurisdiction of a doctor of medicine, was also placed under the management of Yunnan Commercial Bank, even if it was a façade.
The Dongchuan Copper Mine, which Tang Jingtian is in charge of, is expected to be very large because of its important status.
Therefore, Li Yi decided that the Dongchuan Copper Mine still belonged directly to the Yunnan Xuanfu Embassy and was not under the management of the Yunnan Commercial Bank.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
After the establishment of the Yunnan Commercial Bank, although it had a lot of cash in hand, it suffered from the lack of suitable projects, except for the 200,000 yuan start-up capital of the Yunnan Bank, the remaining 300,000 yuan of capital did not move at all.
I really didn't expect that when the money couldn't be spent, this really surprised Li Yi.
At this time, Qian Shitang thought of an important craftsman. This person's name is Wang Dingguan, and now he lives in a village near Ningzhou, and his ancestors are all kiln officials of the official kiln of the Tang Dynasty - Dingzhou kiln, and the porcelain burning skills passed down from generation to generation are very superb.
Although he is over sixty years old, he often fires exclusive porcelain and sells it to wealthy families to support himself.
His son Wang Chun's craftsmanship is also very good, but under the strict requirements of Wang Dingguan, he has never opened any kiln, but has been idle at home.
In the past, the government also wanted to invite him and his grandfather out of the mountain, but they were all politely rejected by Wang Dingguan.
Every time he thinks of the two of them, Qian Shitang will feel very sorry, is it lost like this in the Dingzhou official kiln, which is second to none in the Tang Dynasty?
This time, if you can invite the king to set the official, not only can the technology of the Dingzhou kiln be passed on, but also through their father and son, the porcelain manufacturing level in Yunnan will be rapidly improved, the porcelain industry will be driven to achieve a rapid development, and some people can get rid of poverty and become rich accordingly.
Just do it, Li Yi personally visited Wang Dingguan's house and persuaded their father and son to go out of the mountain.
Before he went, Li Yi still had some concerns about whether he could invite their father and son, but he didn't expect that Wang Dingguan, who had always had a good impression of Li Yi's governance of Yunnan, saw his condescending visit, so he immediately agreed, and rushed to Ningzhou with his son without hesitation.
Of course, Li Yi was very happy about the rapid change in Wang Dingguan's attitude, and immediately negotiated with him on various matters related to the establishment of a porcelain kiln.
and proposed that the government should fund it, and their father and son would provide technology, and the proceeds would be divided into six or four shares, but Wang Dingguan rejected it.
He believes that since it is funded by the government, and their father and son are only providing technology, the government should take the lion's share, and the sixty-four division does not reflect the status and role of the government.
Besides, their father and son's lifelong wish is to pass on the technology of Dingzhou kiln, and they don't care about the amount of income, and he admires Li Yi's personality and is willing to give everything he can to support his work.
Therefore, Wang Dingguan resolutely demanded that the eighty-two be divided, so that the government could have more income and help some poor people, otherwise he would have no need to go out of the mountain.
Seeing that he was stubborn, Li Yi was full of respect and affection for him, but the eighty-two division was really unfair to the Wang father and son, and it did not reflect his technical value, so after repeated discussions, everyone finally accepted the idea of seventy-three division.
After the Yunnan government injected a one-time capital of 30,000 yuan into the Ningzhou porcelain kiln, the preparatory work of the Ningzhou porcelain kiln was carried out smoothly.
In addition, at the strong request of Jian Zheng, Li Yi made the decision to co-establish an iron-making workshop with the well-known blacksmith Jin Shuisheng, and named it Yunnan Government-run Weapons Workshop.
In order to update the weapons and equipment of the Yunnan army, Jian Zheng spoke to Li Yi more than once.
This guy saw that the government now had money in his hands, and he had long been restless.
In fact, Li Yi didn't want the army in Yunnan to be well-equipped!
But Li Yi had already heard that in this era, not only in Yunnan, but also in the whole country, only the weapons built by the Nanzhao people were the most sophisticated and excellent.
Now that Nanzhao has been extinct for decades, the Great Yi Ning Kingdom, which is dominated by the Wu barbarians, has completely inherited the weapon building technology of the Southern Zhao, and if you want to obtain sophisticated weapons, you still need to find the Great Yi Ning Kingdom.
However, Lulong's Liuyi people are also one of the barbarians, and their technical level must be good.
Li Yi was still thinking that after the imperial court appointed Lu Long and others, he would ask Lu Long to provide this technology, or directly sell the finished weapons to Yunnan, wouldn't it be much easier.
But he was also forced by this Jian Zheng, in order to block Jian Zheng's leisurely mouth, and in order to upgrade the army's weapons and equipment as soon as possible, he had to explore this by himself.
In this part of Yunnan, after Li Yi's effective verification, there should be high-quality iron ore. As long as a small amount of money is invested in development, the supply of iron ore will be endless.
But it's hard to say what the effect of refining ore and crafting weapons is, anyway, the investment is not much, and a total of more than 10,000 yuan has been invested, so it doesn't matter if you lose it all.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and Lin Qingliang's delicious pastries reminded me of the term 'holiday economy'.
The new economic model of holiday economy is gradually formed with the development of economy and society, the continuous improvement of people's living standards, and the increasing amount of leisure time.
The main feature of the holiday economy is consumption, but at present, Yunnan's economic development is still very backward, all kinds of festival goods are not rich, in order to let the people accept it, there is still a long way to go.
However, to be able to imperceptibly convey this awareness to the people, it will undoubtedly bring good economic and social benefits to Yunnan's economic development, so Li Yi should seize such a business opportunity, promote this economic model, and let its charm be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the past, farmers produced and sold their own agricultural products, and there was no surplus agricultural products to the market, which also caused a contradiction between supply and demand.
With the continuous increase of population and the gradual improvement of people's living standards, people's concept of consumption will inevitably be qualitatively improved, and the previous small-scale peasant economy will certainly not be able to meet people's material needs.
To this end, Li Yi should also make arrangements in advance and vigorously promote planting and breeding technology.
Promote vegetable and fruit planting technology, and enrich the varieties and patterns of agricultural products.
Encourage farmers to breed local traditional industries such as chickens and pigs on a large scale, and provide technical and financial support.
Li Yi has handed over the cooking methods of some dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty and the eight major cuisines to 'Shang Pin Xuan', and through their own exploration, the characteristics of the dishes have been greatly developed, and hundreds of dishes have been promoted according to local conditions.
