Section 323 For the benefit of the people
Hearing one hundred taels, the white crane smiled heartily.
Aris handed a gold coin to Old Man Murong, and it was obvious that the two of them were making a bet.
"A tael of silver, not expensive." Bai Minghe asked.
If it's a tael of silver, this thing can be said to be so cheap that there is no way to describe it, this thing should be profitable, but if Bai Ming Hening has such a low price, is it worth it?
"Think it's unprofitable?" Bai Minghe said with a smile: "Is this thing good, the peasants go to work in the fields, but the weather is cold but they have a pot of hot porridge, and the merchants must have a heart for the benefit of the people in addition to profit." A large number of books are printed, so that the cost of books can be reduced, and it is also for the benefit of the people. Caring for people's livelihood is the same. ”
"The old man is ashamed, Lord Bai cares about the people's livelihood, but all goods must always be beneficial. If it is a tael of silver, everyone in the Ming Dynasty will buy one, or adults can afford it. It is quite a pity that this thing is not suitable for transportation, and in the end it may be, one or two adults here, but someone secretly sells it at ten times, or even more than ten times the price. ”
Xie Yiyuan's words are Bai Minghe, you are afraid that there is too much silver to use up, so it will be taken out and wasted. If you dare to have one or two pieces of silver, Quan Daming will dare to have one per person, and at that time, this account will have nearly 100 million taels of silver, but how much does it cost, will it be sold more and more lost.
Bai Minghe really wants to tell these people that the most ordinary glass is a completely handmade zuò. At present, the cost of mass production here in Daming has been controlled to less than 30 yuan. In the later generations of large industrial machine qì production, an ordinary glass is only about five pieces of a piece.
"Well, you can set the price." Shira-naka didn't want to talk to these people anymore.
After Bai Minghe said this, the maid put the plates one by one. All kinds of glass products, most of which are cups. Then there were plates, and windproof oil lamps, and so on.
When setting the table. A maid accidentally broke a very ordinary cup, but did not show the expected nervousness, but used a broom to quickly clean the glass slag on the ground, and then bowed and retreated. In the eyes of the Shang Gang, this reaction is that Baifu is very disciplined.
If someone does something wrong, make up for the mistake first, and then talk about punishment.
In fact, it was the maid who knew the value of the cup, and she could afford it. Because she bought a set for her own home, the house only charged her an average of 80 yuan per such cup. For Baifu's wages, eighty yuan can afford to lose. Of course, it may not make her lose money.
"On the Goryeo side, a thermos pot is too expensive to sell for a hundred taels. If it is expensive, the production here will be wasted. It's impossible for craftsmen to stop producing, so it can be lowered. The cup that was broken just now costs thirty wen in the workshop, plus the others, fifty wen can be controlled! ”
Yield will be wasted. That sounds like a joke.
It is not that Daming does not have self-produced glass products, but there are very few such pure transparent and extremely practical ones. When the Daomen was using lead for alchemy, the temperature reached more than 900 degrees. There have also been occasional glass-like products. Solid colored glass is not unfounded.
It's just that the process is complicated, and it is mostly used as decorations. Because it is not practical enough, it has not been vigorously developed in Daming.
Like the white crane. It has a complete material ratio and industrialized process. Particularly more specific and practical.
There are only two original glass workshops in the Ming Dynasty, all of which belong to the palace office. Pure transparent glass is almost nonexistent. With a little color, make zuò food boxes, plates, dishes and other things. The other is dedicated to the production of zuò ornaments, especially Go.
"The matter of glass, you should only run an errand for this official in the Ming Dynasty. This part of the money, the official will find it out for you. In the glass business between Goryeo and Wado, let's find a profit for you. ”
"Don't dare!" Xie Yiyuan got up and saluted: "I have received a lot of benefits from the adults, and I am already panicking." ”
The white name crane is so delicious. opened his mouth to ask you for a little favor, and even dared to ask for money. Xie Yiyuan said in his heart that a group of ignorant juniors, if they are really mercenary, their reputation will be extremely bad.
"In that case, the official has commanded."
"Please command, sir!" The representatives of the merchant gang responded in unison.
"This is called a thermos, and the price of one tael of silver may be low, so let's ship one tael of silver from here, and you can increase the price appropriately depending on the distance. The first batch of goods is not much, and the official will play this to the long live invitation, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will buy it in limited quantities. One is the old man over sixty-five, the second is the filial son in the famous township, the third is the family of Fuhe, and the fourth is the home of left-behind! ”
Shirana Crane is talking about a left-behind home, which has a different meaning from modern times.
At that time, it was impossible for those who were officials outside the country to bring their parents. If there is only one child in the family, and the only son is an official, even if there are sisters in the family who often take care of him, he is considered a lonely old man because he has no children.
Xie Yiyuan was a little moved, he was an old man.
"I, Hui Shang, am willing to reduce the fine cloth by one and a half to help the good deeds of the adults." Xie Yiyuan's words also aroused the response of many people, the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and virtue, and the businessmen at this time could make their business bigger, and benevolence, righteousness, kindness, faith, and virtue were what they had always abided by. Some of the goods themselves are small in production, and now the Ming Dynasty is also an era of scarcity of materials, if the ten major merchants work together, it will drive the moral and filial piety education of the Ming Dynasty.
"Then, the three gangs of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Shandong are responsible for the transaction in the north. Those tribes in Liaodong were handed over to the Zhejiang gang to do, and the matter of exchanging raw silk on the Japanese side was handled by the Ningbo and Hangzhou gangs, and the Goryeo side was handed over to the Hui merchants. Da Nang is under the responsibility of Fujian and Guangdong, and the southwest is under the responsibility of ......
Bai Minghe quickly distributed the business of exporting glass products.
It seems a little unfair, but the gangs will make adjustments in other businesses and just hold a private meeting to solve it.
However, Bai Minghe's strategy for Daming's domestic sales has been completely implemented, and in addition to the corresponding freight, the merchants have added a loss of one percent and two percent of the profit and one percent of the tax. So as long as the actual sales price is not in those places where the sky is high and the water is far away, it can basically be controlled at about two taels of silver.
In Yunnan and other places in the southwest, it is already very reluctant to be able to control zhì in five taels. If you go to the plateau. The cost of transportation alone is more than ten taels of silver, which is the cost of transportation. It is force majeure.
The white crane found Takatani again, which means that he jointly wrote a petition for a letter.
Takaya flipped through Shira's recital and smiled, "Lord Haku." How many years have you been an official? ”
Listening to this tone, Bai Minghe felt a taste of ridicule in it, but he still replied very seriously: "It's been a year and two months." ”
"It turned out to be more than a year, but it was still there. Lord Bai, you have neither a boss nor anyone to ask for. If you have any thoughts to make your own decisions, you can either go to the saints. It seems that you don't know anything about the rules of the court, just such a small thing, you need to ask for an order, how many copies do you think you can read in a day? ”
Bai Minghe thought about Zhu Qiyu. It's already tiring to be able to review seventy days in a hard day, and it's generally about the same for thirty or forty copies.
Dealing with a piece of official business is not about reading news items, but about solving it if you read one.
Takaya no longer laughed at Shira-sama, nor did he call Shira-sama Shira-sama anymore, but said, "Shira-sama, long live the music there is divided into three categories, the first category is urgent official business, and it can be said that each of them is a big thing. The second category is the notification item. It's what happened today, how to deal with the cabinet and the six ministries, if you need to see which one of them, and then transfer it from the cabinet separately. Or re-approve. The last category is chores, such as someone who once impeached you, but in front of Banzai it was only written in the lines of one cabinet. There are ninety-seven officials who impeach Bai Minghe, and then list the main names that impeach you. Hooray is interested in watching and seeing. Not interested. Just ask the cabinet for a handling opinion, and don't even ask, just submit it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for review. ”
Takaya told Shiramei Crane a lot.
The white crane had a look of sudden realization.
Takaya also told Bai Minghe some history of the handling of Ming government affairs.
From the time of Taizu, when Ming Taizu was the highest, he approved one hundred and forty books, and it can be said that he was tired to death.
Then the four auxiliary ministers were established, and the university scholars were designed, which were later abolished.
When it was time to become an ancestor, set up a cabinet to assist in handling government affairs, and if everything was personally instructed by the Ming Emperor, it would be exhausting.
Later, slowly, a standard was set in advance for daily government affairs, and only when the standard was exceeded, royal approval was required.
"This notebook, after you hand it to the capital, Banzai will definitely read it. Because it was handed over by your white name, if you want to change someone, the cabinet will directly reprimand it. This little thing, even the Ministry of Rites Shangshu does not need to be alarmed, a Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites can settle this matter, and then send a letter to the state capitals. ”
"And then?" Bai Minghe asked again, are these state capitals willing to do it?
Gao Gu smiled helplessly twice: "Then it depends on the result, if the result is good, if the good result is good, if the good deeds are great." Then each state capital will take a credit, and each state capital will also report the results in a separate book. After that, any famous people praised it and reported it together. When you get to Banzai, you will only see a maximum of three sentences. ”
There is no need for Takaya to explain. Bai Minghe also thought about what those three sentences were. The first sentence says what this is, the second sentence is that the state capitals are doing well, and the third sentence is that the people should be benevolent and filial.
"Then I'm ......," Shirakawa asked, what he should do.
Gao Gu laughed heartily twice: "You don't even have to go out of the door, change this thing to a different format and turn it into a kind of document of the same level." Directly hand it to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and then ask the Nanjing Ministry of Rites to notify the state capitals, and then add your seal separately, and at the end, report to the capital. Are you really a decoration when Nanjing Liubu? ”
Shirana Crane heard another taste.
Tentatively asked: "Is it a little trivial, Nanjing Six Writings is fine." So Elder Gao, what is the limit of the size of this thing? ”
"What are you talking about, the old man is already old, behind his ears!" Gao Gu raised his voice and replied.
Bai Minghe was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.
It seems that he has touched the doorway, but Takaya is absolutely unwilling to tell himself the depth of this, and he will violate the taboo. (To be continued......)
PS: It's even late today.
Because today there is an illusion that it seems to have been updated, hahaha.
