Chapter 15: The Silver Age Has Finally Arrived
After some negotiations, it was finally determined that Yang Xi would supply the goods to the Luo family, and the Luo family would be responsible for transporting them to the county, but the retail price must be set by Yang Xi. At present, the market price is nine dollars a catty, since the industrial production, the price is naturally to be reduced, so Yang Xi is set in eight dollars retail. The purchase price in the market is six yuan, the price given by Yang Xi is four yuan, and the Luo family has a profit of two yuan per catty, and one hundred and twenty catties a day is a profit of two hundred and forty yuan. And Yang Xi promised that within ten days, another Chenhe god car would be added, providing two hundred and forty catties a day.
The profit was four hundred and eighty dollars. Of course, this money is not much, after all, the entire county seat of Exian County, with a population of only 8,000 and only 200 county soldiers, is basically so much for such a small county. At most, one more machine can be added, three machines, which can be completely consumed in Shang'e County.
As for the issue of taxes, Luo Lan, the head of the Luo family, took the initiative to play the package ticket, and Lord Sifu is his brother-in-law, where is there a brother-in-law who collects taxes from his brother-in-law.
As a result, a large number of farmers who use it as a sideline business will lose a share of their income, which is also the impact of big industry. But no one is unemployed, and where are the workers in the factories, which is actually a good thing, a great thing to speed up the process of industrialization.
After the two drew up the main agreement, Yang Xi proposed another additional agreement. First, the Luo family provided Yang Xi with five stones of rice per day, the price of which was calculated according to the market price of 100 yuan, and promised not to increase the price during the agreement period. Second, Yang Xi bought three slaves and maids from the Luo family for 9,000 yuan, and paid them in three months, 3,000 yuan per month. That's a hundred dollars a day.
On the second day, the big dog brought three fifteen or sixteen-year-old female slaves and maids. To be honest, the big dog was really embarrassed to see Yang Xi, but Yang Xi didn't care, as if nothing had happened.
Yang Xi took a look at the three slaves, and asked the names of several people, all of them were code names such as flowers and fragrances, and suddenly felt as if he had returned to Stephen Chow's Tang Bohu to order autumn incense, so he simply changed the names of the three of them.
Yang Di is fifteen years old, Yang Sai is fifteen years old, and Yang Huan is fifteen years old. The three of them look decent, Yang Xi, bought them, but not for what they were for, but to recruit workers.
plus Yang Xi himself, as well as the seven-year-old Tian Cong, there are currently two of them, and three machines are more than enough. I have to eat one stone of grain every day, and one load is thirty-one kilograms, and I can afford to consume it.
In front of the three slaves and maids, Yang Xi took out the deed of sale and said: "This is your deed of sale, I know that you don't want to be slaves and maids, there is no way." I calculated, you are in the Luo family, the monthly average is 200 yuan, excluding expenses and clothes, you can save about 30 yuan a month. According to this calculation, if you want to redeem yourself, it will take about ten years if nothing else. But after ten years, if you don't become a slave, what will you do? And I, now, want you to go to my factory and work with them, and give you nine hundred dollars a month. Moreover, after coming to me, except for the time you spend on work and study and training, the rest of your time is all yours, including marriage! ”
After a full minute of silence, the three of them weakly confirmed the truth to Yang Xi, and finally, the three of them let out a terrifying scream.
Yang Xi assigned them the work of harvesting and cleaning for the time being, and now the third god car is about to start, and Yang Xi is doing manual reserves.
After another two days, the third Chenhe god car was successfully started, and the scene was jubilant, but Yang Xi did not stop, but began to make the fourth. The part of the plant near the river is only about 20 meters, and four machines are running at the same time, which is just right.
The Luo family had already arranged everything, the transport personnel had been waiting there for a long time, and Luo Zhi, the housekeeper of the Luo family, was even more shrewd. For the first time, he also specially brought his own wooden pole scale to verify whether Yang Xi's huge balance was accurate. After verification, the next matter will be handed over to the other two docking stewards.
After the big dog got acquainted with this side, he also came here occasionally in the past few days, and after seeing the strange training methods of Cai Kao Maoluan and the two, and after his hands were itchy, he put forward his opinion to learn from the two. Cai Kao Maoluan was naturally happy to find an opponent to try his moves, but the two of them each made three moves to knock down the big dog.
Yang Xi was also a little surprised, so he secretly scanned it, the physical functions of these two people, I don't know when, it turned out to be 66 and 65, and the big dog was only 66, which showed the importance of skills.
The big dog was convinced, and made up his mind that he would run more here in the future and learn some methods.
Another three days have passed, and the fourth Chenhe Shencar has been successfully started, and the current manpower is a little reluctant, but everyone is full of energy, and they can not stop all day. And the Luo family, in Exian County, has gradually opened up the situation, three machines, more than 300 catties of goods a day, can barely be eaten.
Yang Xi personally hung a large plaque on the top of the plant, with the words "Chenhe Factory". Historical records: Guanghe six years in October, the first private industrial factory "Chenhe Factory" appeared, is a sign of the beginning of the industrial revolution, the industrial revolution is also known as the "Chenhe Industrial Revolution", the industrial revolution, three years earlier than Europe, five years earlier than the Americas.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, everything is running normally, seven stones of grain per day are transported by Dong Cai and the Luo family, in fact, this is what Yang Xi earns, except for expenses, there is not much money left.
But the name of "Chenhe Factory" and Chenhe Divine Car, but not far away, nearby townships, and even Exian County, there are people who know the name of Chenhe Divine Car, some of them are miraculous, and even said that this car does not need manpower, put it in the water, automatically generate yarn ingots, and there must be immortals blessed with spells.
At the same time, the names of Yang Xi, Yang Chenhe, and Jade Face Killing God also spread all over the nearby black and white. These are all expected by Yang Xi, so there is a more urgent need for strength in his heart.
At this time, the county magistrate of Exian County (small counties with less than 10,000 people are county magistrates, and large counties with more than 10,000 people are county magistrates), named Li Qi (a character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is no such person in the official history, and he is under Liu Biao's account).
In the county government, Li Qi sat at the top, this person had a long beard and collar, a dark complexion, and looked shrewd and capable, while the county Cheng Hu Kan at the bottom was a little bloated, and he should have not received much people's fat and ointment on weekdays.
"Hu Xiancheng! Has this been confirmed? Li Qi put down the bamboo slip in his hand.
"Back to my lord! The lower official has heard some rumors about this matter, this Mashan Township Sifu is a distant relative of the lower official, if the adult wants to have any doubts, the lower official can pass him over to be obedient. Hu Xiancheng slandered in his heart, these relatives have nothing to do with themselves.
Li Qi rubbed his head and said slowly: "No need, this matter is nothing more than a descendant named Yang Xi who discovered a novelty driven by water power, and the villagers don't understand it, so it's just a random spread." This person is a bit talented, it is said that he has not gone to private school, but he can write, and it is estimated that he has received the guidance of a hermit. You don't have to worry about this matter, but what kind of Chenhe magic car he has, you need to send someone to see, carefully observe and observe, if you really can have something special, but you have to get the production method, this kind of thing, but you can't control it alone in the folk, if it can be widely spread, it is great. ”
This kind of thing is naturally a trivial matter for them, but just one sentence has brought Hu Kan a lot of thoughts, but when he turned his head and thought about it, how much oil and water can be used for such a worthless thing as a spindle, just ask his relatives to pay attention to it and get the production method over.
Time spent in a busy way, and in the blink of an eye, in the middle of November, Yang Xi did not do anything in the past 20 days. It is nothing more than that the carpenter made two huge granaries and made ten zigzag ploughs. The wooden part of the curved plough has been made, but there is still one object, that is, the iron ploughshare. This Yang Xi is not in a hurry, when the time comes, he will ask the Luo family blacksmith shop to customize.
More than 20 days were spent uneventfully, and Yang Xi found that he basically didn't make any money. The wages were seven hundred dollars a day, and one stone was needed for food, so here I went to eight hundred. Seven stones a day for the purchase of the grain reserved, and if you take the one stone you eat, it will be six hundred, or four hundred. The three slaves and maids returned a hundred to the Luo family every day, well, one thousand and five a day. The income of one day is that four god cars started at the same time, less than 500 catties, about 2,002. The income is only six or seven thousand dollars a day.
However, after seeing the pimple in the warehouse, Yang Xi smiled. Fourteen taels of silver (due to the complexity of the conversion of silver taels and copper coins in ancient times, each era is different, and there is no authoritative argument, so this book takes one tael of silver for a thousand coins, and one tael of gold is ten taels of silver).
"It's the Silver Age! Ha ha! ”
"Two months, fourteen taels of silver, one hundred and fifty stone of grain, the progress is okay."
In fact, what makes Yang Xi most pleased is that a good thing happened in it. The second brother and two dogs, the third brother and the third dog, these two brothers came to take refuge.
This is also the result of Yang Xi's atmosphere.
The big dog has some contact with Yang Xi's side, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he runs the door every day, and after coming and going, the big dog did find that Yang Xi did not treat him as a subordinate. And definitely from the heart. It's a form of respect.
Although Sangou had a grudge against Yang Xi before, under the lobbying of the big dog, he was also relieved of some hatred. After all, he is just a bastard, and it is impossible for the third elder to use it often, and it is not a long-term solution to be a free thug for the public on a temporary basis. What's more, this matter also got the nod of the three elders.
During this period, the three elders also came once, and they were a little relieved to see Yang Xi's development, and they didn't say much. This son is a worm or a dragon, it has nothing to do with him, he had the heart to carry this son before, but now it seems that it is not necessary, this son has already chosen his own path.
Yang Xi didn't care about these trivial things, he was currently waiting for a heavy snow in the temperate zone to enter winter. This heavy snowfall occurs every year, generally from the end of November to December in the lunar calendar, and it may be a few days, or it may be ten or twenty days.
Looking at the four people who were intensifying the training, Yang Xi had some expectations, who is the king of the wilderness in this wilderness survival training, wait and see.
