Chapter 42: Don't Sell but Rent (1st Update)
"Knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts, bright, this strict work, the heart is really vicious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Seeing that there was unknown information about Yan Gong, Huang Yueying's heart was scared even at this time.
Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in front of him, bowed his head and was silent, and the contents recorded in the several secret letters on the table made him feel a little tired.
He was still too anxious.
Although Zhuge Liang didn't understand the truth that science is the primary productive force, with his vision of seeing the world, he still accurately discovered two things.
A war of reunification is absolutely not something that can be accomplished overnight.
In the stalemate stage, among the factors that can take the lead, the development of agriculture, from the construction of military to civilian facilities, these factors representing the living conditions of the common people are the most important.
Although these ideas did not form a system in his mind, there were still rough senses, and when he thought about developing them, the subconscious mind that blended his intellectual ideas produced a response of "it should have been this way a long time ago".
This is also the reason why he recruited Yan Gong into the mansion, and it is also the reason why he is very generous to him. However, now it seems that these are the results of his impatience without careful consideration, and he actually let such a former owner of Yizhou, Liu Yan's secret agent, take advantage of the situation.
"The husband doesn't have to be in a hurry, the concubine knows that you are also thinking about the big plan of Sichuan and Shu, but everything pays attention to a step-by-step approach, isn't it?" Huang Yueying's voice sounded at the right time, how could she not understand the ambition in the heart of this man who got along with him day and night?
Needless to say, his husband's talent must be well-known, and his character can be called a gentleman, and he is cautious, but because of this, he is sometimes easy to be impatient.
He wants to see the world unified before he is alive!
Seeing Zhuge Liang's somewhat tired demeanor, she was a little distressed, thought about it, stood up, "The concubine went to boil a bowl of red date porridge for her husband." After that, waiting for Zhuge Liang's response, he found that he had fallen into a deep sleep at some point.
She was silent, turned around lightly, and walked out the door.
It's just that there are a few more traces of water droplets on the ground along the way.
……
When Liu Chan learned that Ma Jun had locked himself in the "laboratory" again, he had a big head for no reason.
At this time, Ma Jun, with his help and facilitation, has become a celebrity in Chengdu. These days, it is not that no one is manufacturing according to the mold of the Jenny loom that they saw at that time, but after all, they are all drawing tigers and not anti-dogs, and then people really understand how important Ma Jun, who invented this instrument, is to this industry.
Looking at the people who were impressed by the "beginning of industry", Liu Chan inevitably felt a little proud in his heart, but this pride soon turned into a bitter complaint, the reason is that these people are too enthusiastic, of course those small workshops do not dare to go to the door of the young master's mansion, but those large, cloth merchants who occupy most of the market share, are swarming, almost did not step on the bluestone slab in front of the young master's mansion.
In this regard, Liu Chan was very angry, you guys, can you mess around if you have money? Don't you know that agriculture is heavy and business is suppressed?
However, he quickly succumbed, and when these merchants came up with enough materials and money to cover the salaries of the front-line soldiers in Hanzhong for a year, Zhuge Liang hinted at Liu Chan with some subtle hints.
Not only Zhuge Liang, but many officials in Chengdu City secretly visited the Young Lord's Mansion, some straight to the point, some vague, but the topic all pointed to one aspect, that is, the manufacturing method of Jenny's textile machine.
However, Liu Chan didn't agree to any of them.
It's not that he doesn't want to, on the contrary, he's going crazy when he thinks about it. However, he could not hand over the manufacturing drawings of the loom machine.
There is no other reason, because, even if this drawing is taken out, except for those real masters with solid knowledge, no one can understand it at all!
As a result, gossip among businessmen naturally popped up.
"This young master, his appetite is too big, our prices have reached this point, and he is still unwilling to hand over the drawings?" In a mansion, several people dressed in fine clothes were gathering to discuss something.
"Yes." One person should be reconciled.
"But I heard that in Hanzhong on the front line, Uncle Liu Huang and that Cao Cao are in full swing, and it is estimated that the consumption of money and food is very large. Someone said.
"That makes sense, but no matter how high the price is, it will take us a long time to pay back."
"Also," one of them suddenly lowered his voice, looked around, and then spoke cautiously: "I heard...... This device was actually not made by Mr. Ma Xiao. ”
His words made everyone else interested, and they couldn't help but prick up their ears, "Speak quickly, we know that you are well-informed." ”
The man pretended to take a sip of tea mysteriously before he spoke leisurely: "I heard that this thing was obtained by the young master from those Mo family members!" ”
As soon as these words came out, they were shocked.
"Really? Mohism? Isn't it long gone? Someone asked, after all, the history of the Han Dynasty and Confucianism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The man snorted lightly and said: "There is nothing in this world that can be wiped out, just like the weeds in front of the courtyards of our families, no matter how you get rid of it, it won't be long before another stubble grows." ”
"That's what I said......"
After the topic was discussed, someone soon got up and said goodbye, under the pretext that it was nothing more than some family matter. And with the first, there is the second, and after a long time, this originally lively courtyard was instantly left with only the figure of the owner.
"These guys, what a ......," he complained slightly, but he was also visibly absent-minded.
"Mo Family...... It seems that I have to plan it too, if I can accept one or two Mo family masters, tsk, then my business will definitely multiply several times! ”
……
In fact, Liu Chan knows these gossips clearly.
Because, there is information about the Mo family, which he released.
He wanted to use this to test whether the people who live under the rule of Confucianism today still have a rejection of these doctrines that are considered heretical.
Not only that, but now, he has also jumped out of the original business handling method and came up with a plan that not only perfectly solves the previous obstacles, but also lays the foundation for his future plans. After all, it's a modern person, even if you haven't been through business, but you haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
The next day, all the people who came to visit every day, according to custom, were stopped at the door.
Then, a sign with a notice hanging on it was lifted out of the house and placed on a high pitch before everyone's eyes, while a subordinate read it aside.
"'Heavenly work' is really a painstaking work, and if it is sold for money, how is it different from blasphemy?
But when I look at this thing, it is also a vessel for the common people, such as hidden in the house, but it is a great regret.
Now, make a plan.
It is a lease system, and a fixed rent is charged every month for a limited period of months.
In this way, you don't have to hurt your muscles and bones, and I don't have to be ashamed of blaspheming this thing. ”
