Chapter 42: Take control of Zhuji County
The furniture workshop was established, and soon after the restoration of the polder, the second workshop of the Li family was completed in the mountain villa outside San'in County.
At that time, Li Mingke thought of a lot of things that could make money, and at first he thought of the four major inventions, but he still knew the main components of gunpowder, and he only knew the printing technology in front of him about the other three. Generally speaking, no one would deliberately investigate papermaking, right? The compass is okay, but there are not many places where they are used, especially Yamagoe, who naturally have the means to identify the direction.
Winemaking has already allowed Zhou Ze to try on a small scale, how to make distilled liquor Tixiang, and Zhou Ze said that if he wants to do this, he is afraid that he will have to open a winemaking workshop and explore it from scratch, which will take a while, maybe a few years.
On the contrary, it is furniture, which has the lowest technical content, and no matter how stupid Li Ming is, he can roughly know the main structural problems of some furniture. It has only been established so far, and in the final analysis, it is still a carpenter's problem.
"This time, we found more than a dozen qualified carpenters in Yamagoe. Their families have all moved to live in the villa, and according to the master's instructions, everyone is separated to make a process, which is indeed a lot more efficient.
It's just that this new furniture is too easy to imitate, and it is very difficult to operate alone! But we also have an advantage, thanks to the old man's creation, the tool called the planer, we only make the efficiency of the board has improved a lot, but the cost has dropped a lot, if the price is reduced, we still have a very advantage! The steward kindly reminded.
The planer is actually a very common processing tool, but after Li Ming came into contact with carpenters, he found that there was no such thing in this era. There was a primitive planer, but the planer did not appear, and this thing had no technical content, so it was directly stolen.
"It's useless to eat alone, as long as there is a little fishy smell, the group of big families will gather like wild dogs." Li Ming shook his head, the Li family couldn't cover the sky with one hand in Huiji County, and even if he could, he couldn't avoid the appearance of plagiarism.
For 5,000 years in China, the most indispensable thing is the means of plagiarism.
At the same time, the model of the new furniture has been sent to the four major families, and even the Xun family. Some of Xun's industries began to move to Jiangdong, and they slowly formed a scale in Sanyin County.
"Chairs and folding square tables...... Looking at the two pieces of furniture in front of him, Gu Yan nodded. Sitting in a chair is certainly much more comfortable than sitting upright on a cushion, and the folding square table doesn't take up too much space when not in use.
The split meal system could not immediately become the dining mode of later generations, so as an excess, a single folding square table was necessary. When needed, take it out and open it in front of the chair, so that everyone can eat separately, which is also convenient.
"There is also a kind of rocking chair called a rocking chair, which is very comfortable to use, and says that it is very good to sleep!" The steward replied tremblingly.
"Uncle, he hasn't slept well, and that's a good thing!" Gu Yan nodded, the three pieces of furniture sent by Li Ming were all very good, at least in his opinion, they had commercial value.
"Tell Li Ming that the Gu family wants at least 20% of the shares, and we can give out as many manpower and funds as we need!" Gu Yan said lightly, Li Ming's opinion he agreed, shares are a good thing, everyone participates, and everyone can be connected together through shares.
There is no point in fighting the price war separately, and it is the right thing to combine and suppress those imitation guys. The family gate valve scoffs at business, but it must also admit that if you want to make a fortune, you must do business. The status of merchants in the Han Dynasty was not high, but at least they were not as lowly as they were after the classification of Shinong industry and commerce.
Several other families were naturally also very interested, and as a result of the negotiation, Li Ming accounted for thirty percent of the profits, Xun and Gu accounted for five, Lu and Zhu were half-percent, and the last two percent were divided by several slightly smaller families, of which the Long family and the Yu family accounted for the lion's share.
In this way, the workshop cannot be small, and the outside of the villa is directly opened up, and the major families are almost full of strength to build, and all kinds of craftsmen start processing it as soon as possible, only when it is planing wood, it is Li Ming's people who use it. The planing of the board is basically the work of water grinding, and the average carpenter really doesn't want to take it, and everyone is laughing at Li Ming's stupidity.
Only Li Ming knows that this technology, especially if the planer is leaked, then the most likely thing for these big families is to get rid of him and set up a furniture workshop by themselves, and everything at that time will be nothing more than making wedding dresses for others.
However, in the short term, because of the relationship between the medicine workshop and the furniture workshop, the relationship between the major families in Jiangdong and Li Ming has become much closer, and with common interests, it is easy to compromise on many things.
At the end of November 185, Xun Chen and Xun Di came to Huiji, Xun Chen served as the county magistrate of Zhuji County, and Xun Di served as the county lieutenant of Wushu County. The families in the Central Plains can almost realize that the Xun clan is gradually transferring their power to the south of the Yangtze River.
"Thank you for your cooperation, if it weren't for the help of County Lieutenant Xiao, I'm afraid that it would take some time for Xun to completely control the county government!" After coming to Zhuji County, Xun Chen quickly exerted his means, and in less than two days, he balanced the major forces in the county and seized the highest power.
"Where, Xiao is just following the orders of the lord and guarding this Zhuji County!" Xiao Yao arched his hand in the northeast direction, which can be regarded as a statement of position.
"Do you have any further instructions?" Xun Chen asked slowly, this time he went south, and his family had already given him an order to cooperate with Li Ming at all costs.
It's just a side lineage, as a descendant, he was actually ordered like this, Xun Chen was indeed very curious. I wonder what kind of hole cards Li Ming has in his hand, which can make the elders in the family value it so much.
"Fuchun Mountain! What the lord means is that the area of Fuchun Mountain must all be included in the management of Zhuji County and Wusheng County**! Xiao Yao replied.
"Riyao is planning to intervene in Lingshan? Doesn't he know......" Xun Chen didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very clear. If you attract the demon beasts, you will destroy the three clans.
"The demon king of Fuchun Mountain has been ambushed, and the two spirit beasts have either been killed or surrendered. Now there may be one or two spirit beasts on Fuchun Mountain, but there is no demon beast-level existence! Xiao Yao replied.
"Seriously!" Xun Chen suddenly understood why his father would send him to Zhuji County.
"Of course! The meaning of the lord is to use Fuchun Mountain as a cultivation base for elixirs and spirit beasts, and the benefits are shared by the Xun clan and the Li clan! But we must also guard against others and destroy the environment of Fuchun Mountain! Xiao Yao said in a low voice.
"No problem, Xun will do his best to cooperate!" Of course, Xun Chen has nothing to say, as for Fuchun Mountain being under the jurisdiction of Wu County, this is not within the scope of Xun's consideration. The key is that the interests represented by Lingshan are too great!
Five days later, Wu County Taishou personally included Fuchun Mountain into the jurisdiction of Huiji County, and was no longer under the jurisdiction of Fuchun County. It is said that after getting the news, the county magistrate of Fuchun County was drunk all night. This hot potato is finally thrown out!
Wu County Taishou and Fuchun County Commander, but they didn't know it, so they gave away a piece of treasure by themselves.
