Leaving the glass workshop, which was strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter, Chen Jian inspected the wooden shelves, which were basically qualified. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not something too sophisticated, just make do with one sentence. In addition to the technologies that require a long period of accumulation, such as metal materials and fine machining, all other technologies can now be tried to enter the handicraft revolution as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

After paying the rest of the payment, the last stone in Huang De's heart finally fell to the ground.

"You're going to make a fortune, it's the first time I've seen such a good glass."

"I've borrowed your good words."

Chen Jian pulled Huang De to a place where no one sat down, and asked, "Master Huang, now that you have seen it, my glass workshop looks pretty good, and it will inevitably continue to expand in the future." ”

"That's a certainty, if I were from those glass workshops in Mincheng, I'm afraid I'm just going to be restless now."

"In the future, my workshop will definitely continue to expand, and by the way, I may have to do something else, which may be related to wood."

When Huang De heard this, he almost choked, and Jian Chen hurriedly said: "I didn't mean to do the kind of woodware business you wanted, but to do something else." Even if you don't do it, if the workshop expands in the future, it will definitely require a lot of wood. To put it mildly, Master Huang, your workshop is still small, but it is so slow to make these two thousand sets of wooden frames......"

Huang De said with a haha: "Small business, just eat enough, where do you dare to expect more?" But thank you Brother Chen for taking care of me, I am really grateful. ”

"Then you don't have to, I'll pay for it, and you do it, as it should be. I just thought, Master Huang, would you like to expand your workshop? ”

Huang De shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. If there is a business like Brother Chen every year, of course I want to expand it. It's just that if I didn't have this kind of business, I would have recruited more apprentices or peers, and there would have been so many more mouths to eat. I was cowardly, afraid that they would eat me in the future. ”

Jian Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "If I invest some money to build a water-powered sawmill, Master Huang can use it at will, and I won't charge any fees." There is only one thing, if I have any needs, I just ask Master Huang to give priority to my business. ”

"What does that mean?"

"I'm probably going to use a lot of wood, but I don't know how to be a carpenter. Since I have cooperated with Master Huang once, of course we must take care of each other in the future. In addition to the water-powered sawmill, I can also provide some money to buy some delicate things like foot-pedal chippers and hand drills. Usually Master Huang uses these appliances as usual, how to make money is your business. But if I need any woodwork, I must give priority to my side to complete, and the price can be negotiated between the two of us, at least a little discount. You know, I'm not short of money. ”

Huang De was overwhelmed by this sudden happiness, and took a closer look at Jian Chen, who seemed to want to see something from Jian Chen's face, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be full of sincerity.

It takes a lot of money to build a water-powered sawmill, at least for Huang De. As for those delicate things such as foot-cutting beds, Huang De only heard that some large carpentry workshops have these, he is considered a joiner, but the craftsmanship is family heirloom, and he has never seen those things.

Jian Chen's proposal couldn't help but be unimpressed, as long as the other party was not a ghost, no matter how he looked at it, it would be beneficial to him. If there is a lot of demand in the future, it is a good thing, Huang De feels that he has money, tools and craftsmanship in his hands, and when the time comes, he can recruit a few more people to be busy with Chen Jian's affairs, and he will not delay making money.

And once you have so many new things, you can try to do a lot of things that you have thought about but don't dare to do, and even become such a workshop owner: you don't need to work, you just need to hire people to do it. It's a completely different life than it is now.

It's just such a good thing, why did it fall on your head?

Chen Jian explained: "It's basically impossible for me to specialize in these wooden tools, but sometimes I need a lot of them. Nowadays, there is not a decent woodworking workshop in the whole Nan'an County, and I can't go to Mincheng to do what I want and then transport it. But I opened my own carpentry workshop, one is that I have no craftsmanship, and the second is that I can't manage it, and the third is that those workshops cut beds and the like are thrown away and wasted, and I can't make what I want in the future, and the fourth is that it costs money to raise people, and some carpenter work is not like other workshops that can be done by any person. After thinking about it, Master Huang and I are also familiar with each other, so naturally we can help each other. In the future, when you have the money, you will buy those workshop equipment back, and the money will go back to my pocket, and it will not delay my business, isn't it good for everyone? ”

Huang De thought about it for a long time after listening to it, no matter how he looked at this matter, it would not hurt him, and finally nodded in agreement, thanking Jian Chen.

What Chen Jian said is not completely false, but it is obvious that Chen Jian means that he has the means of production and tools in his hands, and in addition to employing people, large wood workshops also need a lot of tools, which according to Chen Jian's meaning, will pay to help buy.

Once the workshop is expanded, it will no longer be a small handicraft workshop for individuals, it will need to recruit a lot of people, and it will no longer be a routine of taking jobs and completing such routines, but will become production and resale in advance.

If they are good to each other at that time, then of course Jian Chen will not say anything, anyway, he really needs a slightly larger wooden tool.

But if the time comes, with the expansion of the woodworking workshop, Huang De has a different mind and has his own way.

The bigger the better, relying on your own money, if you have power in the future, you will go through the normal legal process, take back all the large sawmills and tools, and a huge carpentry workshop will collapse in an instant. At that time, Chen Jian threw the money out, and the hired workers in the Huangde woodworking workshop turned around and left, which was nothing more than the lack of a Huang De, but the addition of a bunch of woodworking workers.

Where did Huang De think of this, he only said in his heart that he had met a good person, and Chen Jian said: "I also have a trading company in Mincheng, and when Master Huang's woodworking workshop expands, I might as well produce some tables, chairs, cabinets and the like." I have glass here, you can see, this glass is the best in the world, glass and cabinets are combined, is it afraid that no one will buy it? ”

"When the time comes, if you can't sell it in the county, you can let the people from the trading company transport it to Mincheng to sell, and Master Huang doesn't have to worry about the sales, as long as my trading company helps sell it." But you have to pay for my glass, haha......"

How did Huang De know how capable Jian Chen was, but seeing that he was young and extremely kind, and had such an industry, he only thought that he was an ancestor and blessed to meet a nobleman. Xin said that fortunately his craftsmanship was okay, and he finished those wooden frames in advance, otherwise he would have regretted missing such an opportunity, and he would have regretted it in the next life.

The details were agreed, and Huang De gave priority to the written promise of producing the required timber for Chen Jian, and Chen Jian talked about the wooden rails.

He didn't say what it was used for, only that it needed hardwood, and that it needed to be wear-resistant. Given the pattern, Huang De took a look at it and felt that it was very simple, it was nothing more than the need to prepare some drying and sun-dried hardwood, and it was not a big problem to process such strange things.

Besides, it takes time to build a hydraulic sawmill and go to Mincheng to buy and customize some equipment, and this time is just right to help Chen Jian make these wooden rails.

After asking about the quantity, Jian Chen didn't want much this time, as long as he had eighty roots, he said that he would try it first, if it was useful, he might need thousands of roots in the future.

Huang De then understood, he was afraid that those sawyards and the like were prepared for this, but since the other party gave money, there was nothing to say. If there were no utensils promised by the other party, it would be impossible to produce these thousands of roots, and I would not be able to eat them at all, although I would make less profits, but if I didn't accept them, I wouldn't even be able to earn less.

The two talked a little more, had a meal with everyone, and gave Huang De two large glasses, and finally agreed that the future wood factory would be called Nan'an County Private Wood Factory.

It was not dark, and the slightly drunk Huang De asked the apprentices to carefully carry the two pieces of glass, humming a little song, only to feel that the starlight was infinitely better tonight, and he couldn't wait to fly home in an instant to imagine a better life with his wife and daughter.

Chen Jian sent Huang De away and walked around the factory, thinking that in the future, these simple tracks would be tried in his own workshop to solve all kinds of problems that might arise.

It is obvious that the appearance of the track predates the train, otherwise the steam engine could go the wrong way of the steam car in road transport, which would be interesting but certainly not economical.

The advantages of horse-drawn rail cars over ordinary ground are self-evident, and one inertia and friction can explain them. The railcar is loaded with a load of coal, and one person can push it as long as it moves, but it is almost impossible to pull it on a road full of rubble.

The capital of the railway will only appear in profitable places, Chen Jian has inspected the coal mines here, and the transportation cost is greater than the mining cost.

After a little calculation, the most convenient way is to build a horse-drawn coal car track of about five kilometers, and connect a small river with the Min River to form a canal, connecting the Min River with those coal mining areas.

In this way, the large coal and iron mine owners must have welcomed it, but now they are still scattered and have no power, and they have not thought of this method, let alone intuitively see this benefit.

Therefore, Chen Jian pondered that in the future, based on the track and simple canal, he would either create a coal and iron merchants' association, or bind up with a family to annex the rest of the coal and iron mine owners.

Simple rails and canals can reduce the cost of transporting coal by a lot, or even a third.

Whoever owns the right to use the canal and the track will be able to monopolize the supply of coal and iron in Minjun, and the price of the rest of the country will rise again, as long as it is cheaper than that of the sea.

Building roads and digging rivers seems to be extremely expensive, but in fact they are extremely profitable.

Chen Jian also has a simple chemical workshop in his hands, and the raw materials are also abundant, and explosives at the expense of human lives are not a problem.

At that time, the martyrs squatted in the ravine and used clay jars and urine jars as containers, and used icy river water as emergency coolant, sacrificing more than 20 people, and the annual output of glycerin explosives was about eight tons.

Glycerin explosives are indeed dangerous, but they are not necessarily fried, when the Yellow River was flooding, glycerin explosives were used to break the ice, but the conditions were difficult and it was too condensed, so the female party member who studied chemistry personally used a hot bath to bake the glycerin explosives, and did not sacrifice......

Nowadays, although there are no doctrines and ideals, there are laws and money, and it is no problem to save ten tons of explosives to build a road and canal for several kilometers with human blood.

If a simple hydraulic pump blower is made, the cost of iron will drop sharply, and it will be possible to replace wooden rails with cast rails.

As for the manpower used to build, that's simpler.

Find an industry where there are not too many people and are extremely poor, and make a simple manual machine that can replace ten for ten, and make this group of people bankrupt and unemployed, and have nothing to do -- you must find the poorest ones, and if you don't do it for ten days, you will starve to death, and you can't find those industries that still have money to spare, such as the group of seed pickers.

When the time comes, a little chaos, secretly instigating them to riot, before the shock and pressure, they will come forward to pay for the construction of roads to absorb these people, and the county will inevitably be praised by everyone, and the county officials are afraid that they will burn high incense on themselves, and those hired workers will forget who made them unemployed, and they will only be grateful. Human blood steamed buns taste extraordinarily fragrant, who said that there are no corpses when repairing bridges and roads?
