Chapter 16 Department Store Production
In fact, he is also looking forward to it, after all, there are many girls, and in Li Chengqian's heart, the initial education process of children, the mother's thoughts, words and deeds education account for the heaviest weight. It is an exaggeration to say that the quality of the mother determines the offspring of an entire nation.
In terms of military tactics, the model is modeled after the ideological education, military posture and physical training in the army, and combat in different field environments. The guards were born in the army, and they mainly trained these students in individual martial arts and military formations.
Li Chengqian's manor also became lively, pigs and sheep also began to take shape, captivity and free-range breeding were separated, people in the manor roared and neighed, chickens and dogs heard each other, and breeding gradually became regular. The by-products are also sorted according to his requirements.
The five schools are also initially matched, each with an enrollment of 200 people and divided into five classes. One of them is exclusively for female students, and all colleges have a seven-year duration of study. Those who pass the grades can graduate, and those who fail can continue to study, and the tuition fee will be doubled. Li Chengqian has recruited some gentlemen and stewards, and has reached a preliminary agreement with some young people in Guozijian to become gentlemen, the enrollment leaflet has also been printed, the teaching mode has also been established, and the enrollment targets, rules and regulations, and graduation destinations have been formulated. Wait for the enrollment to start after the New Year, and wait for the new students to enroll. He called it a beautiful name: Tiantang Primary School.
The new workshop and factory have been completed, the equipment, facilities, and raw materials have been prepared, and he has begun to try to process the strange things he designed, and after a period of experimentation, most of the products initially meet his minimum requirements.
The other old workshops also made their own different products; It's just that some of them still make him dissatisfied, especially in the iron processing machinery, most of which are improved while experimenting. Nowadays, only furniture and clothing are starting to make a profit. It was named Tiantang Wood and Tiantang Clothing by Li Chengqian.
The matter of arranging for the guards to go out to handle it has also been gradually carried out, and it is becoming more formalized. Only the political commentary he had just written, since he handed it to his grandfather, there has been no response.
It's almost the end of the year. Looking at all kinds of things in the room, Li Chengqian still felt a little sense of accomplishment in his heart. These are his most recent achievements, and before the New Year, he wants to put them out for everyone to test and use. And today is his third industry: Tiantang Department Store, ready to plan the opening day, because tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve.
In Chang'an City recently, the reputation of the prince has spread to thousands of households. The most popular is the wood shop under the name of the prince: Tiantang Wood, up to the concubines in the palace, down to the peddlers and pawns. They all come here to buy a set of wooden furniture or utensils. From the largest wardrobe to the smallest wooden spoon and wooden comb hairpin, as long as you see the Tiantang mark imprinted on the furniture, you will feel honored. After all, it was designed by the crown prince himself.
Tiantang wood and Tiantang clothing has been operating for a period of time, ready to gradually expand outward, mainly Luoyang, Jinyang, Yangzhou, Yizhou, these major cities, now have recruited good manpower, is accelerating the preparation, it is estimated that after the New Year, the major cities of the wood shop and clothing line will also open.
When he asked about the price of furniture, the prince sold it at a price five times higher than that of other woodworking houses. But who knows that now the wood shop is repeatedly out of stock. Even if Ren Junxing, the steward of the carpentry workshop, increased the manpower many times, it was still in short supply, and in the end there was really no way, the prince launched a method of increasing the price and booking a month in advance, thinking that the number of people buying would decrease, but the result was that the market was completely detonated. He had to admire the prince's methods.
Although other carpentry shops followed up at any time and quickly imitated counterfeit products, it is a pity that they are not easy to sell. Li Chengqian, who was still a little worried at the beginning of the period, also had to sigh that the vain comparison mentality and stubborn ideological concepts of the people who came here were really terrible in future generations and in this life. After all, these big-ticket consumers are wealthy.
The profitability of Tiantang clothing is not much inferior to the wood industry, the most sought-after is glass jewelry, followed by underwear and underwear and underwear (cotton clothes and pants and autumn pants), jewelry is the most profitable piece, each piece is sky-high. It's just that Li Chengqian's focus is not here, because the technology of wool spinning and cotton spinning is still improving. Nowadays, the technology of high-speed spinning is not mature, especially fine wool and fine cotton yarn, which are still particularly easy to break. After all, he had only seen the old Jenny spinning machine and the water-powered spinning machine before, and had not actually operated it. So far, I have only seen the spinning machines and looms in use. Tests are being combined with each other, and in order to achieve perfection, it is still not possible today, and further experiments and improvements are needed. Cotton thread is also unthinkable due to the high price of raw materials.
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, today his sugar wine tea store and daily grocery store merged and officially opened, he thought about the name for a long time, and finally could only finalize it: Tiantang Department Store. Most of the non-staple food products are things he has recently developed, and the colorful packaging contains a variety of candies, as well as brown sugar and white sugar.
In addition, he used the roasted tea technology to develop tea, some of the high quality and taste particularly good, are encapsulated in exquisite porcelain jars, beautiful names: Biluochun, Longjing, Tieguanyin. Black tea fermentation technology has also begun to be tested. It is estimated that it will not be a problem to go public in the coming year.
Liquor is an authentic two-pot head in a porcelain jar, and now the technology he teaches can only reach secondary distillation at most, not that there is no better technology, but the conditions are limited, and the equipment and technology are not up to standard. The degree of the wine also reached forty-two degrees, and he named it Tiantang Baijiu. Of course, sugar, tea, and wine are all high-end consumer goods.
The daily products are toothbrushes, toothpaste, straw paper, soap, soap, perfume, toilet paper, napkins and matching cups, boxes and racks developed by him. Of course, there are also freshly made blended towels, although they are a blend of hemp and kapok, but this is already a high-end product. In fact, except for soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, papyrus, etc., everything else is basically sky-high, and ordinary people can't afford it.
As for other products, as well as restaurants, he also has a preliminary plan, but it still needs further adjustments. The model of the circular industry is also on his agenda, and the details are now being considered. In short, now the prince is already in the beginning of the industry, and the wealth is rolling.
The only fly in the ointment is the tight supply of raw materials, kapok, silk cotton, cashmere wool, saltpeter, stone alkali, various ores, and the main energy coal. How to open mines on a large scale and grow cotton on a large scale has become the most urgent matter. Otherwise, it can only be a small fight, and it will not become a climate.
