Xiao Zhengtai looked at Guan Kunyu suspiciously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Can you fly into the sky? Paper airplanes? Brother, aren't you talking about bamboo dragonflies? Bamboo dragonflies can fly into the sky! ”

Guan Kunyu smiled and shook his head: "Of course it's not a bamboo dragonfly, it's not the same as that." The bamboo dragonfly flies upwards, and my paper airplanes fly forward like birds. ”

Guan Kunyu didn't know what era this kind of thing appeared in the bamboo dragonfly, but he had indeed seen the little fat man Guan Kunji play in his life, and he was shocked at the time, but he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty already had such an "advanced" toy.

"Fly forward...... That's a kite? ”

"It's not a kite either, you'll know when I make it."

After speaking, Guan Kunyu ran to find a piece of waste thick paper, cut it out, and folded a paper airplane in three or two. With a flick, the paper airplane flew up and down in the air for a long distance before landing on the ground.

Guan Kunyu is quite satisfied with his work, even if it is compared with the paper airplane made in his previous life, it is considered good.

"It's a paper airplane, how about it, it's fun."

"It's fun!"

Seeing the fun paper airplane, Xiao Zhengtai immediately stopped crying, and chased and ran to play with the paper airplane. It's not just Xiao Zhengtai alone, but the other children are also greedy.

Guan Kunyu used the remaining paper to fold another one for her sister-in-law's Lori, and then there was no paper, and the others could only look at Guan Kunyu with pitiful eyes.

Helplessly, Guan Kunyu said: "Don't look at me, it's useless to look at it, I can't change it when there is no paper." ”

The little fat man Guan Kunji immediately said: "I'll go home and find paper!" ”

"Wait, what paper are you looking for? Shengxuan is too soft, straw paper is too brittle, you have to find thick paper, good paper! Our family's papers are all from the second aunt, can you get them out of her? If it weren't for the tattered side of my paper, it wouldn't have reached my hand. ”

The little fat man Guan Kunji was immediately deflated when he heard this, and he didn't want to provoke the second aunt who was angry, so he couldn't help muttering.

"Even if I buy this paper airplane for a penny, why do I have to go to my second aunt to ask for paper...... How easy it is for the merchant to speak. ”

The speaker has no intention of listening, as soon as the little fat man Guan Kunji mentioned money, Guan Kunyu immediately came to inspiration, yes, isn't this a financial way!

Indeed, it is naturally impossible to sell paper airplanes for a price if they have no technical content, but why do they have to sell paper airplanes? He can sell model airplanes with rubber band propellers! He made this kind of thing himself when he was in school, and it was not difficult at all!

The fuselage is made of thin pieces of wood, the wings are glued with bamboo strips of tulle, the rubber bands can be replaced by animal tendons, and the propellers are carved with bamboo, I believe that they can fly!

The only problem is that in the Ming Dynasty, it was actually very difficult to make money selling such low-cost creative things.

It's too simple, the imitator doesn't need to understand the science behind it, as long as he imitates it 100%, and the created thing will be sold as well! No matter how novel and fun a model airplane is, it is absolutely impossible to sell it at a high price, after all, it is not a unique business, and it will not be long before copycats will be everywhere.

The second is the transportation problem, with the traffic conditions everywhere in the Ming Dynasty checkpoints, the model aircraft did not go far to make a profit that had to be swallowed up by the cost of logistics and transportation! And this fragile stuff is not very easy to transport.

The difficulty of transportation means that the sales area is small, which means that the market capacity is small, coupled with the grabbing of the market for counterfeit goods, it means that the model aircraft is the same as the pencil he made before, and it is a chicken rib that can't make a lot of money!

"Chicken ribs are a little bit of chicken ribs, but as long as you can make real things, you can at least get past the level of dad and mother, and you won't be beaten ......"

Guan Kunyu sighed helplessly, he wanted to do something, why was it so difficult? When people cross over, there are heroes who bow their heads every three or five days, and they have to be beaten every three or five times when they cross over...... are also traversers, why is the gap so big?

"Although the money made from making model airplanes for a long time is not much, it is at least an entry, and if it is operated well, it can be distributed to the people in the tun to get it, and win people's hearts.

Right now, you can also take it out to make a quick buck, but it's just ...... The old man has a good face, and he doesn't want the Lu family to get involved, so I can only rely on myself for the three hundred taels of silver, but I am afraid that I may not be able to earn enough three hundred taels of silver just by relying on the money of the model aircraft, and I have to find another way to get some money out. ”

Not to mention, as long as people are inspired, they really can't stop it, Guan Kunyu, who has been thinking about it for a long time and has no clue about making money, has come up with a reliable idea this time without much effort!

"yes, why didn't I think of that before!? It's a bit risky...... It should work! ”

…………………………

After thinking of it, after having an idea, Guan Kunyu rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and got out some rags and old paper, held things to find the carpenter in the tun, squatted in front of the carpenter, and taught him to build the skeleton of a model airplane, and then took the old paper rags and pasted them on the wings, and found a scrap tendon as a rubber band, and the thing was done.

I tried it, although I did it in a hurry, but I was still able to fly after all, and it took three turns in the sky before I landed.

With the sample, Guan Kunyu then found the old man Guan, and took advantage of the time when the sister-in-law and his wife were talking to the second uncle, and pulled out the old man who was chatting together and whispered.

"What's the matter with pulling me out in such a hurry? I guess, why, you kid had an idea to make money so quickly? Say it and I'll listen. ”

Guan Kunyu nodded and said, "Yes, I have an idea, but I still have to ask my grandfather for help, I can't find so many materials alone." ”

Old Man Guan grinned: "Hehe, our family's stupidity is really a talent, and we have an idea so quickly!" Okay, you name it! As long as your grandfather I can do it. ”

"I'd like to borrow the carpenters from our camp."

"Naturally, they don't have much to do at the moment, so you can go directly to find it, if it's not enough, I'll find a few helpers for you who know how to work as a carpenter."

"I want some silk! It doesn't need to be too good, but it must be fine and thin. ”

The old man frowned: "The fine and light silk doesn't need to be too good...... Are you worthless when silk is all rags? How much exactly? ”

"Let's ......"

Then Guan Kunyu's head was hit hard.

"Ichō!? You just sold me! ”

All right...... Guan Kunyu succumbed, silk is indeed too expensive, and it is indeed difficult for him to use such a tall thing for a model aircraft with his current start-up capital.

"Then just get some thin cloth, the thinner the better."

"Thinner is better? Wouldn't that break with a rip? ”

"It's okay to tear it up, as long as it's thin enough! There is no problem with defective goods, as long as it is cloth, no matter whether it is good or bad, no matter the material, as long as it is thin. ”

"That should be fine...... Do you want to do it too? ”

"It's pretty much the same, if it's cheap, it's fine."

"Okay, I'll just look for it."

Guan Kunyu sighed, it stands to reason that silk is the most suitable, light and durable, but at the moment, the funds are insufficient, so it can only be settled. As for durability? For the time being, I won't consider it, it's a big deal to buy less silk to make high-end products, and divide it into a product level.

"I want some bamboo chips."

"This is the easiest, you can ask for it whenever you want."

"Hmm...... Finally, there are tendons! ”

Old Man Guan was shocked, this thing is a military supply!

"What do you want all this for!? How much? ”

"Not much, just a short scrap."

Guan Kunyu was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he quickly compared the size.

"If it's just such a short time, it's better to say, there should be a lot of scraps left over from Jinshanwei's side, okay, I just want to go to the guard station the day after tomorrow, and I'll help you ask when the time comes."

But after all that said, Derpy, you haven't told me what you're going to do, how do you want to make money with these things? ”

Guan Kunyu said with a smile: "Model airplane, a toy that can fly, grandpa will know when I come out to see it." ”

"Toys!? You want to earn those three hundred taels of silver from your toys!? Old Man Guan stared at Guan Kunyu with a shocked expression, "Okay, I'll go out with you and take a good look at what kind of toy makes you so confident." ”

Guan Kunyu took the model airplane, wrapped the propeller with a smile, and gently threw it into the sky, and the miserable-looking model plane climbed all the way lightly, circled, and finally landed, until the old man Guan's jaw couldn't close.

"This ...... This thing is the legendary wooden bird that Luban travels thousands of miles a day!? You...... Where did you learn it from!? ”

"Luban's Wood Bird!? Of course not. Guan Kunyu's eyes rolled, "But this is a good gimmick, then this toy will be called Luban Bird in the future!" Uh-huh, Guan's Luban bird! As for who I learned it from, I figured it out on my own, but it was actually a bamboo dragonfly with a bird's wings in front of it. ”

Old Man Guan nodded, and after being surprised, he thought about it carefully, isn't it just a bamboo dragonfly in front of his wings.

"Do you want to sell that toy for a tael of silver!?"

"How is it possible, two coins of silver! No bullying! ”

Old Man Guan sneered: "Two coins of silver, you really dare to ask for it!" Okay, I'll just think you can really sell it for this price! But you have to know that when the price is high, there will be fewer people who can afford it, and besides, seeing that your father has not much time left, how much can you make as a Luban bird? How much money can I make even if I sell them all!?

For two pieces of silver, you have to sell 1,500 pieces for three hundred taels of silver! Well, that's not even the cost! Also, the money you collect must be a penny of broken silver, and the fineness must be insufficient, if you take it to plan for your father, you still need to smelt it, and the silver will have to be consumed by fire! In my opinion, if you don't sell it for two or three thousand, don't expect to make back three hundred taels of silver! ”

Guan Kunyu nodded: "According to my grandson's plan, this business mainly relies on the money made a while ago, not to mention two thousand or three thousand, it can't be done!" ”

The production of model airplanes still requires certain skills, and at the moment it is really 100% handmade, according to the efficiency of making samples, according to Guan Kunyu's estimates, even the most optimistic prediction can only have about 2,000 output before the Spring Festival, and if you are conservative, I am afraid it will be difficult to even break 1,000.

Old Man Guan was angry: "Then you still have to do it!?" Although our house is not clean, we can't do anything to cheat and deceive, otherwise I will break your legs! ”

Guan Kunyu smiled mysteriously and said confidently: "Grandpa, you can rest assured, your grandson has his own measure, and the three hundred taels of silver will definitely be handed over to you at that time." ”

It didn't take a few days, Guan Kunyu asked for all the things that Old Man Guan Guan got for him, and the most important thing is that these things didn't cost much!

The carpenters are all people in the tun, and the old man's subordinates, hundreds of households have a life to pull out to do some work, and it doesn't cost money at all! Of course, Guan Kunyu will definitely not exploit others in vain, and the reward will always be given a little, as for how much...... Discuss again.

Bamboo is also simple, this thing is used a lot, there is a bamboo forest next to the tun, find a few people to divide by two to get a bunch of them, the same, or a penny of wages do not have to give.

The cloth is more troublesome, the linen cloth of this year is worn by ordinary civilians, it is natural to pay attention to a strong and durable, but the linen cloth is strong and durable, it is inevitably too thick, and the price of cotton cloth and satin is relatively expensive, in order to find the right cloth, the old man Guan is very laborious.

It was not easy to find a shoddy profiteer, and the old man Guan asked the uncle to take a few tunding to put on mandarin duck jackets, and the coercion and intimidation cloth was in hand. The very thin linen cloth and the soaked silk are all things that can be used. Not only did it not cost money, but it also made the family lose two taels of silver for the drink!

As for animal tendons, these things were military supplies in ancient times, but fortunately, Guan Kunyu didn't need them for long, and their military value was not great. When Old Man Guan went to Jinshanwei to do business, he handed over some broken silver tea money to the officer in charge, and got a cart of tendon leather scraps.

When the sample of the model aircraft was ready and placed in front of Guan Kunyu, he felt a sense of guilt inexplicably.

The labor and bamboo used to make this model didn't cost anything - a typical black brick kiln and black shrimp farm, slave laborers!

Although the original owner of the fabric that made the wings was not a good person, their method of taking things - a typical use of power for personal gain!

The last animal tendon is a proper embezzlement of state-owned assets!

It's not like Guan Kunyu hasn't seen these things before, but they are so raging like the Ming Dynasty, and they have even become the world's recognized "Ming rules", which really makes him a little unaccustomed.

But as long as you get used to it, you can understand why the ancients went crazy one by one and seemed to have to study for the imperial examination, isn't it just for this kind of "clear rules"? To put it bluntly, it is the upper class that has an all-round absolute crushing of the lower class!

Guan Kunyu, who is now a member of the bottom of the upper class, although he is not very accustomed to these things, as Mr. Guan said before, it is absolutely impossible for him to give up these vested interests!

"If it is left in the last years of the Republic of China, I am a proper landlord and old money reactionary! The reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was that the erosion of national interests by the upper class was too serious, and the distribution of interests among the royal family, the gentry, and the common people was unbalanced......
