Chapter 1853: This is how it should be

"Uncle Xu Jiu?"

Yuan Peony Dai frowned.

Han Yi shook his head and said, "It's not Xu Jiu, it's the person next to Xu Jiu." โ€

Yuan Peony stared at it and said, "Who is that person?" I don't think I've seen it. โ€

Han Yi said: "He was Cui Pingzhong's former domestic slave, and now he specializes in helping the Cui family take care of business." โ€

"Munda!"

Yuan Peony said suddenly.

Han Yi was surprised: "You know! โ€

Yuan Peony said: "I heard Yuan Xiu mention that the Cui family acquired a lot of workshops during this period, as well as Wang Xuandao, Yuwen Xiumi, and that kid. As she spoke, she glanced at He Ruohan, who was hooking shoulders with Xiaopang and chatting happily.

Han Yi smiled: "They are gambling, fortunately, they won the bet!" โ€

Yuan Peony said: "In this way, do you think the people behind the Cao brothers are the Cui family?" โ€

Han Yi nodded and said, "Since he appeared here, there would be no mistake." โ€

"Brother Han!" Xu Jiu also saw Han Yi and them.

They hurriedly walked over and saluted Han Yi, "The villain has seen Shang Shuling. โ€

"Okay, okay, a few old acquaintances don't make such a fuss, just call me Brother Han."

Brother Xiong waved his hand and said, "Uncle Nine! โ€

Xu Jiu said happily: "Chubby, Xiao Ye, when did you come back?" โ€

Brother Xiong said: "Some time ago, we came back with Sister Peony. โ€

Xu Jiu glanced at Yuan Peony, was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Xu Jiu has seen .......!" โ€

Without waiting for him to finish, Yuan Peony said: "Uncle Jiu, don't be polite." โ€

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Jiumu nodded, he had often dealt with Yuan Peony before, and now he was a little overwhelmed by the change in Yuan Peony's identity.

Han Yi smiled: "Uncle Jiu, you are here to talk about business." โ€

Xu Jiu smiled and nodded, and said curiously: "I don't know what Shang Shuling is here.......?" โ€

Han Yi said: "I heard that there is a very amazing workshop here, so I came to take a look. โ€

As he spoke, he swept his eyes and said, "I don't know which of you is the Cao brothers?" โ€

"The villain Cao Chun (Cao Xia) has seen Shang Shuling."

Yuan Peony looked at the two of them, they were in their thirties, and the two brothers were born with a standard shoehorn face, and their appearance was probably not mediocre, they were dressed as workers, and they couldn't see anything special except for their spirits.

Han Yi doesn't judge people by their appearance, because he is an old man who often changes various identities, and asked with a smile: "I heard that this workshop was built by the two of you?" โ€

"Yes."

Cao Chun nodded, glanced at Han Yi secretly, and smirked.

Han Yi was curious: "What are you laughing at?" โ€

"Nothing, nothing." Cao Chun said: "The villain is just ...... It's just so happy. โ€

Han Yi asked again, "What are you happy about?" โ€

Cao Chun hurriedly said: "Don't hide Shang Shuling, our two brothers have always admired Shang Shuling very much, I didn't expect to see Shang Shuling today, the villain is really... Is...! โ€

Speaking of the back, he didn't know how to describe it.

Cao Xia also nodded vigorously.

"I'm just an ordinary person, oh, before I became an official, I was just like you, and I was a farmer."

"That's why we worship Shang Shuling very much." Cao Xia said immediately.

Han Yi shook his head with a smile, and asked again, "Don't you invite me in to have a look?" โ€

"Oh, Shang Shu Ling, please come in, Shang Shu Ling, please come in."

Xu Jiu and the others also hurriedly got out of the way.

Han Yi instead stretched out his hand to Yuan Peony.

Yuan Peony glanced at him slightly, but she always remembered that she lived in a society where men were superior to women.

"Understood!"

Han Yi walked inside, and when he passed by Munda's side, he patted Munda on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have a really good eye!" โ€

Meng Da hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Shang Shuling has won the award." โ€

"It's you who is humble!"

Han Yi pointed at him, and then walked inside.

Came to the workshop, turned back into the little fat and small no, suddenly felt a little shocked, all this in front of them completely changed their impression of the workshop, they even felt that this should not be considered a workshop, only to see a large machine neatly arranged, but the number of people is not much, and there are even one or two machines on the side of the standing, only to see the machine itself operating.

This is already the prototype of a factory for later generations.

Unfortunately, at the bottom of the Cao Brothers' machine was a large wooden box, and I could only hear a strange sound inside, but I couldn't see what kind of structure it was inside.

Han Yi walked to the front of a machine, picked up a roll of yarn that had just been removed from the machine, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Yuan Peony on the side, and immediately asked Xu Jiu: "Uncle Jiu, you are an expert in this area, I think the quality of yarn is better than ordinary yarn!" โ€

Xu Jiudao: "Shang Shuling doesn't know that the quality of this yarn is good, but it has nothing to do with water power, but his spinning machine has also been improved, so it is better than ordinary yarn." โ€

"Not bad! Not bad! โ€

Han Yi nodded, and said to the Cao brothers: "How much yarn can you spin per day with this spinning machine?" โ€

Cao Chun hurriedly said: "A hundred catties." โ€

Xu Jiudao: "It is more than 30 times that of our spinning mill. โ€

Han Yi nodded with a smile, and asked the Cao brothers again, "How did you develop this machine?" โ€

Cao Chun immediately informed Han Yi of the reason for the incident.

It turned out that Cao Chunzu's ancestors were in Sanmen Mountain for generations, his great-grandfather was a craftsman, and also participated in the construction of the Grand Canal, and later after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the implementation of the uniform field system, their family divided a lot of fields, his grandfather's generation returned to his hometown to cultivate the land, but the craftsman skills were still passed down, to his father's generation, in order to irrigate the farmland in the village, he built a waterwheel here.

After his father's death, the two brothers began repairing the watermill for the village.

Later, the rise of commerce made their brothers not want to be satisfied with the status quo, because even if the field was planted with flowers, there were so many, and it happened that Han Yi implemented the Caoyun reform, and Sanmen Mountain was full of commercial atmosphere, which infected the two brothers even more, and they also wanted to do business. At first, their brothers used the slack time to make some small utensils, such as wooden carts, and sell them to local merchants, making some money, which led to their growing ambitions.

They racked their brains, thinking about how to make a lot of money, at first they planned to expand the scale, so they invited some people to make wooden tools, started a handicraft workshop, but they faced the Zhang family's foundry workshop, in the face of the wealthy Zhang family, they could not do anything, they were thinking, where they lost, it was nothing more than people, they had no money to invite more people, better craftsmen, one day the waterwheel broke again, they came to repair, suddenly thought that since this waterwheel can replace artificial irrigation farmland, it can also replace labor, Making wooden tools, if you can do this, then you don't need people, and you are not afraid of the Zhang family's workshop.

So they began to study the waterwheel, the direction of their initial research is to use water power to make wood, which is very difficult, for a few months, there is no clue, until one day, Cao Chun saw his wife using the latest spinning machine, then he thought that making woodenware may be almost possible, but spinning may also work, because the spinning machine is turning, the waterwheel is also turning, and the two have figured it out.

After a year or two of research, they finally came up with this water-powered spinning machine, so good not to die, just encountered an economic crisis, the Cao brothers are about to cry to death, they spent almost all their savings for this water-powered spinning machine, they even went to the gold bank to borrow money, but at that time, not to mention the water-powered spinning machine, even if you invent the electric spinning machine, the gold bank will not borrow, because no one can afford it, how much production will lose how much.

Just when the brothers were desperate, they happened to meet Munda who bought workshops everywhere, and after Munda knew about this, he immediately agreed to invest in their brothers' spinning workshops, but let them not rush to produce, first improve the machine, and wait until the crisis passed, so their brothers continued to improve the water-powered spinning machine, because there was sufficient financial support, there was no worries, they could concentrate on research, and with the help of their wives, they improved the spinning machine, not to mention the water power, the light spinning machine is much more advanced than today's spinning machine.

After Han Yi came back and everything stabilized, they began to start this water-powered spinning workshop.

And just yesterday, they signed a big deal with the beauty of freedom, which can be said to be skyrocketing!

Han Yi nodded with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Is there any leakage in your machine drawings?" โ€

The Cao brothers were stunned for a moment, and looked at Han Yi vigilantly.

Monda said suddenly: "Dare to ask Shang Shuling, when will the patent bill be promulgated?" โ€

Yuan Peony glanced at Meng Da in a little surprise, but immediately reacted that Cui Jijian was an important minister, and it was not unusual for him to think of this.

Han Yi smiled: "It should be soon, next month at the latest, what?" Are you interested? โ€

Munda pondered for a moment and said, "If it's appropriate, we hope to be able to apply for a patent." โ€

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "We also welcome your arrival, this kind of technology just needs protection." โ€

He Ruohan immediately said, "What about my hybrid technology?" โ€

Han Yi smiled: "If you can turn hybridization into a technology and can breed it on a large scale, then of course you can." โ€

The businessmen were thrilled to hear this.

The meaning is very simple, the court uses the law to protect the monopoly of merchants, which is absolutely beneficial to their merchants.

Han Yi's hand moved forward, "Let's go inside and have a look!" โ€

The brothers Meng Da and Cao accompanied him and walked inside.

Han Yi said suddenly: "Although your machine is advanced, the management model is too backward and not suitable for your workshop." โ€

Cao Chun said excitedly: "If Shang Shuling can point a few words to the villain, the villain will be grateful." โ€

This is an idol, he has never thought that he is still qualified to get Han Yi's allocation in this life, but he feels that it must be the ancestral tomb that is smoking.

"No need, this is my business, the better you live, the better the court can be!"

Han Yi nodded, and told them about the management experience of some factories in later generations.

Those businessmen were fascinated by what they heard, it turned out that the workshop could still play like this, in fact, this is no longer a workshop, but a factory, although the Cao brothers built a factory, but they also came into contact with the factory for the first time, they didn't know how to manage it, it was originally necessary for everyone to explore it themselves, but the arrival of Han Yi made it all easier and faster.

This hydroelectric factory, Han Yi is naturally no stranger, for the hydroelectric factory was born in the Tang Dynasty, he thinks this is a matter of course, it should be so.

You must know that the Chinese are the first people in the world to use water power, because the geographical environment is good, then Little Britain is a Thames, the water flow is still very gentle, and the Yellow River, the Yangtze River can be compared. Whether it is hydraulic technology, or textile technology, China is ahead of Europe for several centuries, the development of the Song Dynasty, there have been many hydraulic workshops, this is also because the Song Dynasty was developed commercially, the Song Dynasty attached importance to commerce, so the development of hydraulic power is very fast, but what is depressing is that the Ming and Qing dynasties hydraulic technology seems to have disappeared, not only did not progress, but is still regressing. Therefore, it is not surprising that according to the development and accumulation of China's hydraulic technology and textile technology, this kind of hydraulic textile factory appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

Because there is this heritage, the only difference is that the Tang Dynasty, under the leadership of Han Yi, appeared a handicraft workshop, no longer a family workshop, which was not available in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, there are many open-minded wealthy businessmen now, they are willing to invest, without Munda's capital investment, the Cao brothers would not have been able to study such a large set of machines, the original set of equipment is far from as good as it is now, this is really a need to burn money.

......

Since it was logical, Han Yi didn't say that he was too excited, but he still praised the Cao brothers fiercely, their spirit is really the most lacking in the Chinese nation, and they also taught them a lot of management knowledge, Xu Jiu and Mengda on the side also benefited a lot.

After coming out of the Cao brothers' workshop, Han Yi walked along the river again, pointed to the opposite bank and said to Guo Rui: "Who owns those lands on the other side?" โ€

Guo Rui said: "Those lands belong to the imperial court? โ€

Han Yi nodded and said, "Keep it for me." โ€

He Ruohan said hehehe: "Brother Han, is the imperial court still planning to do business?" โ€

Han Yi smiled slightly and said, "Just that piece of land, you can't afford it." โ€

He Ruohan smiled.

Everyone is not stupid, in the past, Sanmen Mountain was the ghost gate, and the boat did not dare to go, but when you look at it horizontally, it becomes a peak on the side of the ridge, and the rapids of Sanmen Mountain, if it is used for hydraulic development, it is undoubtedly a good piece of land, it depends on how you use it.

Once the water-powered workshops are on the rise, how much will these plots be sold for? To put it simply, it's the price of goods. Therefore, Han Yi planned to leave this place to Yun Xiu, he needed this place, because before the steam engine came out, water power was the best power.

After walking by the river for a while, Han Yi and Yuan Peony got into the carriage and drove to the warehouse, Xu Jiu and He Ruohan also wanted to follow cheekily, they would not let go of any opportunity to get along with Han Yi, this feeling was stronger than Xiao Wuyi, Yuan Peony, and Yang Feixue, but Han Yi asked them to go to other places first, and they didn't even call Xiaopang.

"What do you think?"

Yuan Peony sat in the carriage and was always worried.

Han Yi smiled: "Madame is afraid? โ€

Yuan Peony said: "This kind of water-powered spinning machine can weaken the advantages of our Yuan family. โ€

Han Yi nodded and said: "This is certain, but the real advantage of the Yuan family lies in the capital, you look at the Cui family, they know what to do and sell, but the Cui family has money, which is already a great advantage." Moreover, compared with the Cui family, the Yuan family also has more talents in this area, because the Yuan family attaches importance to technology, I believe that the Yuan family can also create many new technologies, even if you can't, you can spend money to buy them, you don't have to worry about it. โ€

Yuan Peony glanced at it and said with a smile: "I can't compare to you, you can make money by being a heart doctor." โ€

Han Yi laughed, took Yuan Peony over with one hand, and said: "But if you want me to do your thing, I will definitely not be able to do it, so it can be seen that we are really a perfect match!" โ€

......

"Han Yi, Peony, you're here!"

As soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw a middle-aged man walking over.

The person who came was Yuancang!

Yuan Peony smiled: "Uncle Yuan Cang, thank you for your hard work!" โ€

Yuan Cang sighed and said, "Except for your brother, who in our Yuan family is not hard!" โ€

"Totally agree!"

Han Yi said immediately.

Yuan Peony gave him a blank look.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Look at what Yuanfei and they have brought us." โ€

Yuan Cang said: "The main thing is wine and grain, and cotton. This side please. โ€

The group came to a large warehouse on the riverside, this warehouse is specially used to store wine, built on the riverside to facilitate boarding, the wine is loaded in jars, and the land transportation is bumpy to leave.

Yuancang couldn't wait for someone to bring a pot of wine, and as soon as the wine was poured out, it was fragrant.

"Shantuo."

Han Yi said immediately.

"What Shantuo?"

Yuan Cang was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you know what kind of fruit this is?" Yuan Fei and they don't know what this fruit is called, but the wine made from this fruit is delicious! โ€

Han Yi just smiled, and saw that the wine was golden yellow, clear and transparent, and nodded: "This wine is still good, and it will be a bit of a waste to take it and take a bath." โ€

Yuan Cang said susceptibly: "I also said about Yuan Fei and them about this, this is just nonsense, not to mention this kind of good wine, ordinary wine can't be so bad." โ€

Han Yi smiled, picked up a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, do this glass." โ€

"Just take a sip, we're not here to drink." Yuan Peony Road.

"What Madame said is, let's take a sip."

The three of them raised their glasses and took a small sip. I feel that this wine has a slight sweetness, and the taste is clean, elegant, and mellow, which makes people feel a sense of pleasure.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Han Yi nodded again and again, took another sip, reminisced for a while, and said: "Now that there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, the potential of this fruit wine market is huge, and it is impossible for us to lose money in this wine." โ€

Yuan Peony smiled: "It's really cheap, otherwise, if you ship it back so far, you have to sell it so much so that you don't lose money." โ€

Han Yi shook his head and said: "This has little to do with transportation costs, because we barter goods and take what we need, so if we count the cost, then we will make a lot of money." โ€nt
