"I heard that the beauty of freedom has made a lot of money in this trade!"

Han Yi said to Xu Jiu as he walked inside.

In the face of the major shareholders, Xu Jiu did not dare to lie, and smiled happily: "It is a lot of money, this is all thanks to the Cao brothers' hydraulic spinning machine, in the past, we were free to buy silk cloth, and we had to go around to buy silk, and now, Luoyang, Chang'an's silk are directly sent to Sanmen Mountain, Sanmen will weave silk into cloth, and then sell it to us, which can save us a lot of effort, although the price of raw materials has risen a little, but counting the freight and labor costs I used before, it is actually a lot cheaper." ”

In the past, silk was in the hands of retail investors, and the beauty of freedom was not good at spinning retail households, and the specifications were not up to standard, so they directly sent people to the villages to buy silk, and then spun it themselves, but now the beauty of freedom is to spin wool, about silk and cotton, hemp are directly purchased finished cloth, the beauty of freedom can concentrate all the manpower, specializing in tailoring, sewing, and now the raw materials have increased greatly, and the volume of goods has increased greatly, just to meet the current market expansion.

The textile industry is the biggest winner of this market expansion, all because of the emergence of water-powered spinning machines.

Han Yi nodded.

Xu Jiudao: "As far as I know, the goods of other merchants are also selling very well, but they can't produce so much of us, not to mention the merchants in the northwest, the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River keep coming to Chang'an, hoping to buy our new products, but unfortunately their goods are insufficient, if they have enough goods, they must sell better than us." ”

"That's why I'm here." Han Yi nodded, and said: "But the textile industry is a national industry, the competitiveness of the Central Plains is very large, and the beauty of freedom has a sufficient supply, so we should find a way to sell the goods to the Khitan and the Yan, where the people have no clothes to wear!" ”

Xu Jiu smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Han, my son-in-law is also thinking about this problem, especially the Khitan and Jin Ya, because they are cold, cotton clothes and wool are very suitable for selling there, so as to meet our demand for leather. ”

Han Yi smiled: "Your son-in-law is becoming more and more like a businessman now." ”

Xu Jiu shook his head and said: "That's not it, my son-in-law is still very kind-hearted, if he were someone else, where would he take care of the poor, but my son-in-law had to let us open a production line, specializing in the production of low-cost cloth bags, the purpose of which is to take care of the poor, although it is still to make money, but if we concentrate manpower on leather bags, we can earn more." ”

"If you think so, it's because your vision is far inferior to your son-in-law!"

Han Yi shook his head with a smile and said: "Now the most valuable thing about the beauty of freedom is not the leather bag, not the clothes you produce, but the brand of the beauty of freedom, why the beauty of freedom can stand tall in the crisis, it is because the beauty of freedom is the best brand in the Central Plains, famous throughout the Central Plains, the people trust the beauty of freedom, if you lose the poor customers, then you will be farther and farther away from the people, the farther away from the people of the business, the closer to failure, you don't forget, The beauty of freedom rises by virtue of the poor talents, which is also the culture of the beauty of freedom, which is also the heritage that your son-in-law often mentions. ”

Xu Jiu was stunned, and then said: "Yes, yes, Brother Han is right, I am really blind!" ”

Han Yi laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

While talking, the two came to the backyard, only to see a lot of people surrounded by the backyard, just like the last time, all of them were businessmen.

"Oops! That's a lot of people! ”

"Brother Han, Brother Han."

When everyone saw Han Yi coming, they bowed their hands one after another.

Han Yi arched his hand, bowed to Li Chunfeng again, and said with a smile: "Li Taishi is also here!" ”

Li Chunfeng smiled and nodded.

Han Yi asked again: "I heard that the Twelve Stars Chariot has made a big breakthrough!" ”

Li Chunfeng pulled his hand to the side.

Han Yi took a look at it, and saw that there was a huge wooden cabinet among the crowd, so big that Han Yi was a little puzzled, how did they get this behemoth in, on the front of the wooden cabinet, there was a large disc, and there was a pointer on the disk, except for the scale, it was almost exactly the same as the clocks and watches of later generations, Han Yi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he smiled: "This is decent." I just don't know if it's accurate? ”

Jia Fugui on the side immediately said excitedly: "We have been standing here for more than an hour, but it is very accurate. ”

This guy has always wanted to change his career, although his jewelry sells well, but the output is too small, the demand group is small, and the competition is large, because there are many jewelry merchants before, and he also wants to engage in this patent business, so as not to envy them every day, so he has been following this matter.

Han Yi said to Qiu Mo again: "Yes! It came out so quickly, much faster than I expected. ”

Qiu Mo hurriedly said: "This is not made by the villain alone, it is all thanks to Li Taishi to help the villain, if there is no theory of Li Taishi, the villain can't even do it." ”

Li Chunfeng stroked his beard and smiled: "I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!" ”

Han Yi was surprised: "Oh? And that master is even higher than Li Taishi's Taoism? How I've never heard of it. ”

Li Chunfeng said: "It's you, Brother Han!" ”

"Me?"

Han Yi didn't remember that he had helped, he almost forgot about it, because he felt that it would take a long time.

Li Chunfeng nodded with a smile and said, "If it weren't for Brother Han's mathematics, mechanics, lever theory, and swing theory, even if the old man wanted to help, he would be powerless." ”

This kind of need for high-precision machinery, then it must need the support of theory, it is not a single movement, it is a complex combination of movement, completely relying on experience is not impossible, but it is definitely a very long process, first of all, mathematical knowledge is essential, if it is not accurate, it is meaningless, you need to calculate the formula, you need to measure accurately.

However, Han Yi is mainly in the popularization of statistics, but when he was a young man in the past, Confucius had mentioned some formulas about mechanics, but he talked to Li Chunfeng about a lot of mathematical knowledge, Li Chunfeng is a mathematical genius, he has been tirelessly studying Han Yi's sage six studies, without Li Chunfeng, it would be impossible to make this mechanical clock so quickly.

Qiu Mo is equivalent to completing the realization according to the theory provided by Li Chunfeng.

And Li Chunfeng is applying the theories and formulas of Han Yi to practice.

This is a phenomenon of flowering and fruiting, and this is also one of the few formulas and theories brought by Han Yi to be used in practice, this is a very perfect combination, which is also what Han Yi is most eager to see, because he sowed those seeds at the beginning, he just wanted to get all this, of course, this is not in his plan, if it can't be realized, he has no way, he is sowing some seeds with surprise factors, blossoming and fruiting, that is surprise, that is a gift.

Han Yi didn't expect it to come so quickly, he was very excited in his heart, waved his hand, and said in a beautiful voice: "Look, look, this is the value of my sage six learnings, if you want to improve technology, if you want to invent and create, then you must rely on my sage six learnings, without the support of theory, pure experience, even if you succeed, it will take a lot of effort." ”

Many people are confused, Li Chunfeng is so modest, you are so high-profile, and you attribute all the credit to the head of the sage Liuxue in one sentence, is this appropriate?

Li Chunfeng thought that this was the truth, and this was the case, Han Yi didn't blow it at all, laughed, and said: "Brother Han is reasonable, many of the technologies in this Twelve Stars Chariot are based on Han Xiaoge's theory, without Han Xiaoge's theory, it is a decision to make this Twelvechen Chariot." ”

Han Yi said to Qiu Mo: "My theory meets your wisdom and experience, this is fate, so don't worry, I will do my best to help you in this matter." ”

When Qiu Mo heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Wait!"

Jia Fugui immediately stood up and said with a sad face: "Little Brother Han, you can't do this." ”

Han Yi said: "How am I? ”

Jia Fugui said: "I have always wanted to cooperate with Brother Qiu, in the process of his research and development, I gave money, helped him make some small parts, and lent him a lot of skilled craftsmen, you can't do this." ”

Qiu Mo sneered: "Yes, Brother Jia has also helped me a lot." ”

Han Yi saw that Jia Fugui was so anxious that he was sweating, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, since you are already embarrassed.... No, there has been cooperation, and it is still so smooth, then I will not participate, but I will still help you, if the experiment is really successful, then I will build a tower for you in Chang'an City, put this on the tower, and use it for the people to watch the time. ”

Qiu Mocheng said in fear: "This --- this villain is really what virtue and how can he do." ”

Jia Fugui hurriedly pulled down his sleeves and said to Han Yi: "This is really for the benefit of the people!" ”

He's a businessman, and of course he knows that there's no better publicity.

Li Chunfeng said suddenly: "But to build this kind of Twelve Stars Chariot, it takes a lot of money." As he spoke, he beckoned to Han Yi and said, "Brother Han, come and take a look." ”

Han Yi hurriedly walked over.

Jia Fugui and they also wanted to go over, but Qiu Mo stopped them, and now they haven't applied for a patent, so this secret can't be let people know casually!

Li Chunfeng led Han Yi to the back of the large scale, opened the cabinet door, and saw that all the gears inside were turning, of different sizes.

Han Yi was surprised: "Wow! It's so complicated. ”

Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "And this thing has very high requirements for gears, and you can see the copper sheet in the middle." ”

What a copper piece, that's clearly a clockwork! Han Yi pretended to exclaim: "This copper piece is really thin!" ”

Li Chunfeng nodded and said: "This copper piece is used to drive, you have to turn the handle once a day to tighten this shrapnel, in fact, the technology of producing gears has been based before, just a little more laborious, but it is not very difficult, and this copper sheet requires very high technology to be able to build, fortunately, this Qiu Mo has previously created bright armor for those generals in the imperial court, and can create this copper sheet, which is difficult for ordinary craftsmen to do, so if you want to mass production, you may need to make a breakthrough in production technology, But this is very expensive, so I suggested that Qiu Mo apply for a patent first and raise funds, so that the Twelve Chen chariots can be more perfect. ”

Han Yi nodded thoughtfully and said, "If it's accurate, this shouldn't be a problem." ”
