Chapter 146: Throttling

In the afternoon, he was able to obtain a gross income of more than 400 guan, which was unexpected by Zhao Xin, because what he obtained was only the income of more than 30 guans of foaming agent, and it is expected that the equivalent can rise, and the number of steamed buns and steamed buns will reach a certain balance, that is, about 100,000 steamed buns, among which to balance the steamed buns and steamed buns, he has a fixed income of 100 guan every day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It seems that Zhao Xin just took an insignificant small head, just 40,000 buns, and there is a profit of at least 300 yuan, but this part of the profit, most of it, has to be handed over to the training of the Longbow team.

In the distribution ratio of all profits, about 4 percent belonged to the workers and Miao Yuan, and the remaining 6 percent, seventy percent was given to the Longbow team, itself, which required huge investment, became borne by Miaojiazhuang, at least, the huge expenditure on the construction of the Longbow team was saved.

This is not a small amount of money, if in the future, the entire guard force will be expanded to 700 people, the gap will be as high as 20,000 guan, in fact, take the sales of two and a half days now, according to the profit of about 300 guan, a day is 600 guan, and it can be used for the expenditure of the longbow team up to about 250 guan, so that it will take up to 3 months, everything in the longbow team can be equipped, and Zhao Xin can focus on improving the defense strength of Miaojiazhuang.

By the way, Zhao Xin also mentioned Miao Yuan, although due to manpower and other reasons, there is no way to increase sales for the time being, and at present, Baozhou can only be used as a center, but when the number of manufacturing soars, it can still be throttled.

The production of steamed buns and steamed buns seems to be lively, but in Zhao Xin's opinion, there are still many improvements.

Steamed bread does not need filling, buns must be filled, which requires a lot of meat, the stuffing of the buns, about half a tael of meat, the general lean meat and the general fat and meat skin, etc., 40,000 buns, almost 200 catties of pork, half a day to consume half a pig, a little smaller, even one.

This is a huge consumption, and it will even affect the balance of meat, and slowly, when there is an imbalance between supply and demand, the price of meat will inevitably rise.

This is directly related to the whole cost and supply of the problem, the meat supply in Miaojiazhuang itself is very high, 120 trained longbowmen, according to the requirements, a day is 4 taels of meat, which requires 30 catties of meat, almost seven or eight days on a big fat pig, can only buy meat, but a day 80,000 steamed buns, an average of 2 taels, is 4000 taels, almost a day fast two pigs.

Buy meat directly, so it's not very cost-effective, and there is not so much to buy pigs directly from the farmers, which is almost 30% cheaper, and the butcher also has to make money, especially the pig bones, fat, and some offal, etc., clean it up, it can still be eaten, the taste is good, and it can be fixed to kill two heads a day, for this reason, it is not impossible to invite a butcher in Miaojiazhuang.

Of course, if you have the opportunity, you can raise pigs, Miaojiazhuang is almost good, the whole Zhuangzi at least 700 pigs, is experienced, for the future development, you can expand some scale, the original raising one or two heads, now become four or five, it seems, is a long-term effect, now can not show, but the future, but very important, when the scale of Miaojiazhuang expands under the premise, meat supply can keep up with sales, more cost-saving, but also increase family income.

Steamed buns have fillings, steamed buns do not, steamed buns and steamed buns have another thing in common, that is, wheat, wheat can not be eaten directly, must be ground into flour, can be eaten, because now, the amount of free use has increased, the original method of grinding noodles with stone stone can not keep up with the form, and has to send more manpower, or even make more stone stones, this is still the premise of the increase of large livestock, otherwise, it is just the manual labor of grinding noodles, and the strong labor consumed is more.

For this, Zhao Xin has a solution, there is a river near Miaojiazhuang, the flow speed of the river is not bad, he can have a waterwheel, the waterwheel can not only help irrigation, but also bring up the mill, for the future accumulation of experience,

The waterwheel is not a black technology across history, it has appeared in the Three Kingdoms period, at that time because the bearing is not good, it is mostly some manpower overturning and the like, to the Tang and Song dynasties, gradually improved, can be promoted with water, because the mobility of ancient knowledge is not strong, coupled with the idea of local protection and self-cherishing of the broom, the spread is not widespread, at least, there is no Baozhou here.

This is a good thing, the waterwheel can not only be driven by the water power to grind the surface, but also can become the main body of irrigation, the small river is a tributary of the Haihe River, the amount of water is not small, if there is a waterwheel to help, and then improve the conditions of the trunk canal, the area of the entire Miaojiazhuang watered land, almost able to increase by 3 times.

Don't underestimate these, watered land compared to ordinary dry land, harvest above, more than 50%, this is normal, Miaojiazhuang tens of thousands of acres of land, only less than 4,000 acres of watered land, distributed next to the two small rivers, as long as the ditch is perfected, the water from the river water can be flooded in the entire Miaojiazhuang, when the time comes, more than a few times is more than 10,000 acres of watered land, for the overall improvement of food, quite terrible.

The problem of meat, you can put it down, that has little impact for the time being, a 100,000, and even plus Baozhou, a military state with a population of hundreds of thousands, one or two pigs a day, the impact is not big, there is really less here, you can buy it elsewhere, Baozhou is close to the Haihe River Basin, the transportation is convenient, even if it is from Haizhou to the Daimyo Mansion, it will not take more than 10 days, it really doesn't work, just go to the Daimyo Mansion to buy.

The problem of flour had to be solved, before, Zhao Xin did not consider this problem, with the gradual rise in sales, the flour accumulated in the hands of the villagers, a little bit of consumption, even Miao Yuan can see, these days, from the workers selected more than 30 strong, specifically to make flour, and even occupy part of the livestock.

This is what an average of 80,000 steamed buns a day looks like, if in the future, further expanded, from Baozhou to other places, or even just the entire Baozhou towns and villages, this demand is very huge, and manpower is a drop in the bucket.

The waterwheel is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is what the windmill looks like in later generations, it is a toy, it can be rotated by the wind, and the water pushes it, and the same is true, just one more bucket that can help the water.

After thinking about it for a while, he drew a drawing, and asked the carpenter and blacksmith to follow it, there was no suitable steel in the village, among the weapons collected by Zhao Xin, there were some treasure weapons, the material was excellent, and it could be used as the main shaft, which was a little more durable than the wooden one or the iron one, and he directly gave the material and asked the blacksmith to help process and shape it.

The blacksmith saw this material and exclaimed, this is a thousand steel, in the weapon steel, divided into ordinary iron, refined iron, steel, 100 steel, and other simple kinds, most of the infantry armor and forbidden military ordinary equipment, are made of iron, at most is cold forging process under the iron, steel, steel, 100 steel, according to the different levels, will make different weapons, to the squad leader can use fine iron, must be a middle-level officer, will use steel.

Among them, Xue Yu and Sun Ji are different, this thousand steel, comes from a long knife in Sun Ji's hand, his hardness and toughness are quite good, in the card system, it belongs to the most outstanding one, and is selected as a bearing.

Looking at the blacksmith was excited, the sword will always be in the blacksmith system, and only the top craftsmen can make it, but for Zhao Xin, it doesn't matter.

These materials themselves are the materials of the sword, and if he wants to make it into a sword, he can just copy it directly, and it also saves a lot of time, and he will be able to open level 2 for a while, and the sword is not easy.

He came from later generations, knowing that weapons are always the second most important, the key is productivity, just like the longbow, his advantage is always based on excellent logistics, during World War II, China and Japan, some foreign excellent rifles here, not adaptable, no other reason, logistics, the productivity of China and Japan are relatively weak, only simple weapons such as grenadiers and 38 rifles, weapons that are not too much pressure on logistics, are the focus of the development of China and Japan.

The Northern Song Dynasty did not have the problems of China during the Anti-Japanese War, and was able to establish a handicraft workshop with amazing productivity, further reducing the cost of labor, reducing the cost of an arrow by seven or eight percent, and increasing the output by seven or eight times.

The previous Song army, facing the opponent's cavalry advantage, could only form a formation, use heavy infantry to ensure defense, passive resistance, now, as long as there are infantry and heavy infantry to hold on, the longbowmen in the rear keep shooting.

The longbowman with a range of more than 200 steps has a huge threat to any type of troops, perhaps his movement is not fast, and he cannot catch up with the enemy, but as long as it is a fixed field battle, there is no problem, 1 arrow does not work 10 arrows, 10 arrows do not work 100 arrows, use resources and weapons, replace the role of people, and change the war from tactics to resources, and give full play to the maximum power of the Song Dynasty.

Even in the future, when the war is won, from another aspect, after solving the problem of horses, these longbowmen and infantry can also become cavalry, not cavalry, can only be said to fight on horseback, just like the Manchu Eight Banners in later generations.

In the later period, most of the Manchu Eight Banners have been transformed into heavy infantry, or the kind of horseback fighting, once engaged, suppressed by a part of the light and heavy cavalry, the heavy infantry dismounted and formed a formation, and then the group charge to win the war, which is one of the magic weapons of the Manchu Eight Banners to win.

The most important thing is that Zhao Xin also walked around the workshop for making steamed buns and made adjustments, which is mainly not on the raw materials, but on the way of production and overall planning.
