The rise of mountain villages is beneficial and supportive for many people in the land under their rule, because they have more or less obtained the benefits they want, but the rise of mountain villages must have touched and deprived some people of their interests, which is also undoubted. Regardless of the government, large households and the interests of those Tusi were overthrown by the army of the mountain villages, and now the industrial development of the mountain villages has begun to have a certain influence, not to mention that the interests of the low-level merchants in Guangzhou and the operators and shipyards who rely on Guangxi's timber export have been lost, in fact, as early as a long time ago, some people in Liuzhou City have already begun to feel the impact of the industrial age on them.

As early as the first batch of Xianhu knives in the mountain village came on the market, due to the quality and reputation of the Xianhu knives are good, soon after the imitation of the Xianhu knives appeared on the market, and most of these products are from the artisan camp of Liuzhou City, but with the gradual increase in the output of the mountain village, it stands to reason that those handicraft workshops in Liuzhou City can not compete with such a group operation as the mountain village, but fortunately, Deng Shifeng was aware of this problem at the beginning, and at the same time in order to hide his development as much as possible. Most of the Xianhu knives sold later were sold to other places, which also left room for local imitations to survive.

But as time went on, when more and more authentic Xianhu knives and various metal tools made in the mountain villages began to appear locally and began to be sold at reduced prices, the artisans of these handicraft workshops immediately felt the impact of industrial products on them. The quality of the products in the mountain village is good, the quantity is large and the price is also cheap, this kind of price war is not Deng Shifeng's intention, but the natural adjustment of the market after the emergence of a large number of supplies, so that the profit margins of these craftsmen are shrinking at the same time, their market is also being squeezed by the products of the mountain village.

However, this kind of saying did not last long, last year to blast Liuzhou City, when Deng Shifeng pulled away most of the craftsmen in the city, most of these craftsmen were arranged to work in their own factories according to their professional expertise, although the cultural level is almost zero, but fortunately, the craftsmanship of these craftsmen is really put there, and quickly adapted to this kind of stability, food and clothing to solve the problem and see the ability to eat the new work also let these craftsmen gradually like the life of this professional worker.

Even the government-run shipyard in Liuzhou City, because it was government-run, Deng Shifeng also took away most of the craftsmen in it and sent them to work in their own shipyards in the industrial park of Liucheng County, but there are naturally some private merchants who are government-run, and some small shipyards and timber mills owned by merchants are immediately impacted by the efficiency of industrialization after the start of construction in the industrial park in Liucheng County......

……………………

In the east of Liuzhou City, because of the gathering of a large number of citizens living here, the flow of people gathered into the city makes it naturally become a trading center of Liuzhou City, and on the east bank of the Liujiang River, because it is convenient for freight transportation near the wharf, the merchants who sell large goods are mostly concentrated in the east coast area, especially Liuzhou has always been more famous for log sales, wood processing and production, and some small furniture and other wood products workshops are naturally gathered here.

Early this morning, the guys of Fengqing Muxing moved the door panel and opened the door to welcome the guests as listlessly, if it was changed to before, the guys would definitely be scolded or even dismissed by the shopkeeper and the owner, but now...... The guys who can leave have already left, and the rest are either related to the family and have a personal relationship and can't leave, or they deliberately put on this stinky face to show the shopkeeper and the owner, begging for dismissal......

Seeing his buddy's surname, the shopkeeper who was cleaning the counter with a feather duster sighed in his heart and didn't say anything, in fact, with the shopkeeper's thoughts, this guy should have retired a long time ago, just with the current business, let alone invite a buddy, it is more than enough to roll up his sleeves and go into battle as a buddy - because there will not be a few guests in a day!

Fengqing Wood Store has been in such a situation for a while, not that they offended the guests, nor that they are newly opened stores without connections and reputation, Fengqing Wood Store as a store covering logs, wood and various wood products has existed in Liuzhou City for five generations, you must know that two years ago, Fengqing Wood Store in the entire Liuzhou border timber sales and processing capacity is self-admitted, no one dares to admit the first......

But this former number one, but now it has changed from dozens of guys to only three guys now, and it is already a good result to be able to sell something a day to eliminate the zero sales gap on the ledger......

On the wharf not far away, a flat-bottomed bulk barge made of flower skin came to the shore with a full load of wood, and all kinds of planks and squares stacked on it were stacked neatly, so that people could recognize that this was another ship of goods from the timber mill upstream, because only those factories with flower skins could use the machine that swallowed coal and smoked and made a rumbling sound to drive the cutting wheel to sawn out such smooth and beautiful wood! Oh, I forgot to say that the machine sawing wood of the flower skin is also very fast, and a few ordinary workers sawed the board for a day, and it can be cut in less than half a column of incense, and because the knife edge is neat, it is also special to save materials.

Look at the owner of this ship, it should be Liu Mazi of the old Liu Commercial Bank, two years ago, Liu Mazi and Huapi did not deal with each other and did a few fights, if it wasn't for Liu Mazi hugging the smiling thigh of the Guangdong Hall in time, it is estimated that Liu Mazi's life would not be saved. But Huapi didn't seem to be in trouble with Liu Mazi after blasting away Liuzhou City, nor did he embarrass the smiling Li in a pit, and the two families were trembling and carefully holding their tails for a long time. But I don't know why at the end of last year, Liu Mazi and Smiling Li suddenly took the line of the flower skin to distribute the goods produced by the flower skin, although the volume and price can not be compared with the Huang Zhangshi of the East Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, but the goods of the flower skin are synonymous with good quality and high price, and the two families suddenly made a lot of money by relying on the share of the flower skin.

But it seems that this is exactly the case, Liu Mazi as if he changed his surname to the flower skin said, what he did is particularly attentive, the state capital is well connected, he heard that the flower skin timber factory cut out of the wood every day, he volunteered to find the flower skin to try to pull outside to sell; For Liu Mazi's request, the flower skins were naturally happy to see it, and the shopkeeper still remembered that when the first ship of wood was delivered to Liuzhou City, it caused a sensation, and the wood cut out by the flower skin with the machine can be seen at a glance more beautiful than that cut by the wood shops, and even if Liu Mazi more than doubles the purchase price, it is still much cheaper than the wood cut by the wood shops by manpower......

Everyone here is doing business, so they naturally understand that it takes a lot of labor and time costs to cut by manpower, and the machinery used by the wood mill to reduce these labor costs and timeliness costs to a very terrifying degree.

As a result, when the wood cut by the machine upstream appeared on the market, the entire original pattern of wood processing and sales collapsed. The shops that originally relied on wood processing to live have felt the terrifying power of the mass production of flower skin machinery, which is not only large in quantity but also good in quality and cheap, and the unity of thickness is very convenient for the processing and production of later products; What's even more terrifying is that even if Liu Mazi just shipped out the tailings produced by the timber mill every day, it had a terrifying impact on the entire market, and it didn't take many days for these shops that relied on manpower to process wood The business ushered in a cold winter, and everyone naturally went to buy the wood processed by the flower skins, who would buy the wood processed by these shops......

Seeing that people's business was booming and there were no guests here, the shopkeeper sighed again.

When the wood processed by the flower skin began to hit the market, a number of shops in Liuzhou City that relied on this to eat immediately reacted, and they recommended the boss of Fengqing Wood Company as a representative to negotiate with the flower skins, to see if they could use the traditional rules to restrain these flower skins not to disturb everyone's way of eating, but who knew that the flower skin refused the request put forward by the guild, and the direct answer was: "Market economy, survival of the fittest!" ”

Reasoning that this road will not work, and I want to make the silver go the way of the government to put small shoes on the flower skin...... Dear, on the surface, Liuzhou City is still the land of the Ming Dynasty, but now the prefect of Liuzhou has already returned to Yanjing, and now Liuzhou City has long been the world of flower skin, do you find people with flower skin to wear small shoes for the factory of flower skin? I don't have a fever......

In the case that all kinds of ways can't go through, some people have also spread some words to the market, saying that the wood processed by the flower skin with a machine is a dead thing, and there is no aura cut out by manpower, and it will suffer bad luck and so on, but the flower skin seems to have been aware for a long time, not only directly put out various physical objects to refute the rumors, but also directly spread such rumors to the two small merchants to take down the law, thunder means make people understand that if you want to use such means to fight against the flower skin, it is simply looking for death!

In this kind of situation where all roads are impassable, business is cold, and the merchants will naturally not hire so many guys anymore, and each merchant begins to dismiss the guys they originally hired, and these people who have lost their source of livelihood are not willing to make trouble at first, but within two days, everyone found that these people who originally planned to make trouble silently packed up their bags and disappeared...... disappeared into the flower skin factory in Liucheng County upstream, the reason is very simple, the flower skin in Liuzhou City took a fancy to the craftsmanship and ability of these guys, under the rule of Hua Pi, as long as there are people who have craftsmanship and are willing to work hard...... It's not worrying that you can't find food......

In desperation, many small businesses have dismissed their guys and closed their doors, no way, they really can't continue to operate, and they have to support people to pay for their business, and closing the door is the best choice in this case......

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but glance at his own door plaque, could it be that this signboard, which has been hung for nearly two hundred years, is it also going to be taken off? …… (To be continued.) )
