Looking at Zhu Houzhao's disappointed appearance, Ye Chunqiu smiled and explained: "Your Majesty only needs to know that although there is no crystal to make money by making cars, it is the foundation of the Zhenguo Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

As if feeling that these words were not enough to make Zhu Hou illuminate, Ye Chunqiu added: "Very powerful." ”

Zhu Houzhao still doesn't understand a little, and it is difficult for him to associate this car building with strength.

But seeing Ye Chunqiu's full ambition and very relieved look, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help asking, "How powerful?" ”

He was the one who broke the casserole and asked to the end, or rather, when he became interested in something, especially the seemingly inconspicuous carriage was so delicate, he refused to let Ye Chunqiu pass by a few words.

"Uh......" Seeing Zhu Houzhao's curiosity, Ye Chunqiu smiled and sighed before continuing: "How powerful?" Your Majesty, this car is very delicate, isn't it? ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Ye Chunqiu said: "It is precisely because of the fineness that it involves many things, from the processing of wood, to the processing of leather goods, to the forging of keels, as well as the site, the shaft and so on, which can be described as all-inclusive, so if a car workshop wants to make a car, it needs someone to make steel, someone to make iron, someone to pour the mold, someone to punch and mill, someone to extract lubricating oil from minerals, someone to make more durable wooden boards, in addition, but also to supply sofas, sofas and chassis need springs, let's just say this spring and screws, in order to supply the car workshop, The town government needs to build a screw workshop and a spring workshop, and needs to recruit hundreds of craftsmen, in order to meet the needs of springs, is it necessary to train more ductile steel? And in order to improve efficiency, is there a need for better production tools, this is just a small item, every day of production, can cultivate better craftsmen, and daily output, these excellent craftsmen may find a better way, because the car profit is not bad, so there is a better salary, so that it can attract more skilled craftsmen, and even people with a skill to come in, Your Majesty, you see that many parts of this car are ingenious, but if these workshops all rise from the ground, After cultivating tens of millions of the world's finest craftsmen, what about the Zhenguo Mansion to make fire guns and cast cannons? ”

Ye Chunqiu took a look at Zhu Houzhao's gradually changing expression, and then said: "You see, building a car can make money, can bring income to the Zhenguo Mansion, can train many craftsmen, can improve the process, if in the future, these skills are used on firecrackers and artillery, what will be the result?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

I see.

While earning money, let more people live a better life, so that more people can rely on their crafts to eat, and enter a certain positive cycle, but the real purpose is to serve the Zhenguo New Army, and the money earned can be invested in the Zhenguo New Army, and skilled craftsmen can make better firearms in the future.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes brightened, and he rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Why don't you try making firecrackers and artillery now?" ”

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said: "It's not the time yet, there are few people in the new army of Zhenguo, even if all of them are equipped with firearms, they can't form a dense attack, and then the number of people will be expanded in the future, but to expand the number, it is necessary for the Zhenguo government to have enough money and food to support, therefore, the workshop is the top priority; Now let the craftsmen earn money for the Zhenguo Mansion at the same time, and then accumulate skills, and when the new army of the Zhenguo is expanded and scaled, you can try the firecracker. ”

Ye Chunqiu smiled and continued to Zhu Houzhao; "Your Majesty, everything must be planned, a certain goal has been achieved, and then the next step is to move towards another goal, step by step, well, to put it mildly, it is to get Longwangshu."

Ye Chunqiu stretched his waist and continued: "Now, all kinds of waste are waiting to be lifted, start with the Beijing Division, supply the carriages and horses of the dignitaries, and then market the world, this Ming has a benefit to doing business, there is no need to hollow out the mind to think about the appetite of ordinary people, only need to be the roundworm of the cabinet princes and the hundreds of officials in the court, to meet their needs, the officials below will naturally follow the trend when they see what the officials are sitting on, today is the Beijing officials, there is no need to deliberately advertise, local officials around the country will compete to order, and the local officials have set an example, Naturally, the gentry and wealthy families followed suit. ”

Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips, thinking that the sales of the car are not to worry, the only thing he thinks about now is how to continuously expand production and improve the process, now the craftsmen are using the assembly line method, which is a very rudimentary assembly line, which is nothing more than to divide the entire production into more than a dozen processes, each person is only responsible for their own processes, and there is no need for a craftsman to install the whole car, Ye Chunqiu thought for a while: "Your Majesty, the construction of workshops in various parts of the Zhenguo Mansion is afraid that it will be accelerated, if Your Majesty can find a way to let the Ministry of Industry recruit some more people, We can finish it before October, so that the workshops everywhere can start work, and then the speed of production will be more than ten times faster than it is now, and now we can only build twenty or thirty cars a day, which is too slow. ”

Zhu Houzhao held his chin and was thinking, and then raised his eyes and said: "The household still owes the prince of Zhenzhen, and this damn household department refuses to take the money...... Well...... Think again, I think again...... Well, I've got a way. ”

Zhu Houzhao really wanted to ask for a salary, but the household department ignored him at all, you changed a vest and wanted to ask for a salary, and you really treated everyone as a joke?

Ye Chunqiu also knew a little about this, Zhu Houzhao first looked for Li Dongyang of the household department, Li Dongyang sternly refused, and then he took someone to the household department to ask for it, but the household department refused; Zhu Houzhao thought of another way, he himself made a decree in the name of the emperor, sent it to the household department, and asked the household department to give money immediately, but the household department directly refuted the holy decree in the matter, that is, the resistance to the decree is not respectful, Zhu Houzhao has no way, so let people go to discuss, half of it, this kind of money, who dares to give Zhu Houzhao, if you give it, you will become a traitor and thief, as a result, a Qing official of the household department simply asked to resign to give a minister, and quit. The emperor couldn't afford to provoke him, so he satisfied that the emperor died even more miserably, so he simply returned to his hometown to beg, and he could still leave a good reputation.

Zhu Houzhao touched his nose in this matter, and now he thought of dealing with the Ministry of Industry, he couldn't help but shudder, but he couldn't help but think: "It's not that the idea is not nothing, go and ask the queen mother, just say that the queen mother wants to build a pagoda here to pray for the dead soldiers and civilians in Datong, well, it's called Datong Temple, and when the Ministry of Industry takes out the money, food and manpower, let them build the workshop first, haha...... I'm getting smarter now. ”
