With the addition of Luoyang merchants, the number of carriages in Chang'an increased.

It was quickly solved that the lack of transportation capacity in Chang'an was solved, and the transportation pressure in various mining areas was also solved.

Hou Ye's Mansion.

Dugu Ruolan is holding the accounts and is checking the recent earnings of the Yuan family's industry.

"Husband, the bearing factory's income this month is 300,000 yuan, and the cost has also earned 200,000 yuan, but the employees have responded that due to the increase in supply, the output is insufficient, and the employees of the bearing factory have worked overtime frequently recently, so it is no problem to go on." Dugu Ruolan said.

Yuan Shan also took the account and said: "The current production capacity is already okay, if you blindly expand, there will definitely be trouble, or take out a little money to let the Yuan family workshop make a few steam engines and send them over, and the personnel should not be too much to make up for the production needs." ”

Dugu Ruolan asked, "Why, isn't it good to expand the scale?" ”

Yuan Shan heard that Dugu Ruola was very interested in this matter, and the secretaries around him were quite complete, so he explained: "This problem is mainly a problem of machinery and labor, think about it, what would happen if we took our sewing machine to the textile factory." ”

"It will increase production!" Lan Lan said.

"The sewing machine is copied!" Qin Qing said.

"The Yuan family will make a lot of money!" Lotus Leaf Road.

"If the sewing machine is taken to the cotton mill, the price of cotton clothing will be reduced!" Dugu Ruolan Road.

“……”

Everyone expressed their opinions, Yuan Shan continued after listening: "It makes sense, but this is not a trouble, but the impact of the application of machinery, the trouble I am talking about is that the use of machinery will reduce many people's job opportunities, you think about the bearing factory and the sewing machine is actually no different from the machine, a few people are responsible for a machine in shifts, and the output is taken from the production equipment." ”

"What does it matter?" Dugu Ruolan asked.

"Obviously, you don't think of the key point, why is it the contradiction between machinery and artificial, it is because the use of machines to produce does not require so much manpower, but what is the situation of each workshop now, and what are the characteristics of the industries of other merchants except for the Yuanjia Workshop." Yuan Shan said.

"Master Hou, Caiyi knows that the number of workshops of other merchants is very large, take the Cotton Chamber of Commerce as an example, the current textile workers have reached more than 30,000 people, and the cloth and garment industry has covered more than a dozen major state capitals." Caiyi Road.

"Yes, if you think about it, if the sewing machine is given to the female workers, the calculation of the cost of the cotton chamber of commerce still needs so many female workers to work, assuming that the demand is flat." Yuan Shan said.

"Husband, that's the case, on the other hand, if you expand the staff, once the demand remains the same or continues to decline after adding machines, it is really a big trouble to have so many employees, but wouldn't it be nice to fire the redundant people." Dugu Ruolan said.

"This is a very direct way to dissolve the employment relationship, but have you ever thought about what kind of impact so many workers will have on Chang'an when they suddenly lose their jobs, this is not known, but there will always be a lot of troubles, so the Yuan family's industry will not do such a thing, everything is planned according to market demand, don't blindly expand the scale." Yuan Shan said.

If it is a carpenter workshop, blacksmith workshop that requires a lot of personnel to work can not consider these problems, but like the bearing factory this only rely on the product to make money industry has to consider, now although the bearing factory is very busy, the market demand is very large, but it also involves a production cycle and production cycle of the problem, even if a day can make thousands of bearings what's the use, not to wait for the carriage to install together, so the expansion of the scale is not much necessary.

"Husband, the concubine understands, and today I learned a new skill from my husband." Dugu Ruolan said excitedly.

"By the way, Fujun, the matter of the bearing factory has been solved, and there is a ceramic workshop, since the ceramic tiles fired by our ceramic workshop have been applied to the Spring Manyuan Song and Dance Hall, many merchants and stores have come to a lot of orders, and now the firing orders have been delayed to two months later." Dugu Ruolan said.

"There is no way to do this, the current output is really too low, it took a long time to barely get the wall tiles of the Chunmanyuan Song and Dance Hall, I can only build a few more caves, find someone to do it immediately, this kiln factory will be expanded at least three times the scale." Yuan Shan said.

The business of the traditional industry is not too much, this kiln factory is one of them, compared to the cement kiln, this ceramic to not make much money before, even the capital can not come out, and then through the firing of some living utensils to barely maintain, there is a period of time to meet the needs of the Yuan family after the direct stop, at first it was to cultivate sentiment to engage in this thing, and then the benefits are also average, but since the birth of ceramic tiles, this situation has completely changed.

Yuanjia ceramic kiln can become a cornucopia, many merchants want to get the technology of firing tiles, Yuanshan also received many merchants to visit, but in the end did not sell this technology.

"Husband, the concubine has one more thing to say." Dugu Ruolan said.

"You can say anything." Yuan Shan said.

"The monthly income of the Yuan family's employees has always been the highest in Chang'an City, and even the monthly income of the maid is more than three times higher than that of other houses, although the Yuan family has a big business, but if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money every month, and I am afraid that the employees in the Yuan family industry will be proud." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Well, this matter can be studied, the monthly money of the Yuan family is higher, at first there was some poverty alleviation, now a project will require thousands of people, tens of thousands of people to invest in this, this labor cost is indeed very large, and according to the standard of employment in Chang'an, it is actually possible, plus the meat welfare of the employees of the Yuan family is already the best owner in the entire Chang'an, then from now on to maintain the current monthly salary treatment, and when the average salary in Chang'an is high, we are making specific adjustments." Yuan Shandao.

"Okay, just do what your husband wants." Lonely as Landau.

"Is there anything else going on today?" Wonsun asked.

"That's all for now." Dugu Ruolan Road.

Since Yuan Shan is responsible for the Ministry of Economic Development for the imperial court, the Yuan family's industry is all in charge of Dugu Ruolan, and the secretary group is responsible for assisting. ”
