Chapter 229: Secret Recipe and Word of Mouth
"Everyone, everyone." Wang Shouren returned to the compound and said with a smile on his face: "Nearly 800 school buildings have been settled, and the official is very pleased, and the official believes that when the news is transmitted back to the capital, the Son of Heaven will inevitably be happy."
The merchants hurriedly humbly and politely patted a circle of sycophants by the way.
Wang Shouren pressed his hand to stop the noise and said: "This list and the number of school buildings you have built, this official will copy a copy and submit it to the capital, after the Son of Heaven sees your good deeds, will he summon a few of you, this official does not dare to guarantee, but this official believes that if there is a new thing in the royal Tongzhou Industrial Park, a spokesperson is needed......
Nine times out of ten, this spokesman will come from among you! In addition, this list will also be posted by the official, so that the people of the people will know about your good deeds, and let those people who want their children to read but can't afford to read know that you are good businessmen! ”
The merchants were suddenly excited!
People live for a lifetime, who does not chase fame and fortune, in the eyes of the common people, these businessmen are synonymous with being rich and unkind, and they are full of copper smell, and Wang Xunxue's hand is undoubtedly justifying their name!
As for the opportunity on the royal side, although no one has much hope, what if the pie falls on his head one day?
It's an opportunity, isn't it?
There are also some businessmen who think more far-reachingly, they smell a different smell, and they wonder if Wang Xunxue's move is an eye medicine for Nan Zhili's officialdom!
Wang Shouren was ordered to build a school, and the silver itself should have been built by the local government, and the construction of the school should also be built by the local government, but Wang Shouren hit a nail in the household department, how can this breath be swallowed?
You must know that Wang Shouren has the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand, even if he can't kill Zhu Shangshu, there is no problem in killing ordinary prefects!
But Wang Shouren didn't do this, because if he did this, he would inevitably offend the entire Confucianism, and then the entire Confucianism would be included in the ranks, and there was no need to ask.
So Wang Shouren found another way and found them businessmen, a few big businessmen can't do it, what is the difficulty of hundreds of businessmen to invest in the establishment of a school?
In this way, the matter is done, and without the credit of the government, it is equivalent to suing the officialdom of Nanzhili in front of the Son of Heaven in disguise, and he is not guilty of Confucianism, after all, it is the officialdom that does not cooperate first, not his Wang Shouren and unkindness first.
From beginning to end, there is no loss for Wang Shouren, and this law can also be implemented in the world, making it easier to run a school, which is really a good means.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Wang Shouren spoke again: "When the official was facing the saint, the Son of Heaven once said to the official that it is the first good government to promote learning and open wisdom, merit is in the present generation, and benefit is in the future.
At the beginning of the school, some people may not understand, thinking that this is the Son of Heaven wants to promote miscellaneous learning and suppress Confucianism, but no, since it is good governance, it is necessary to do as little as possible without flaws, put it on the school building, that is, the completed school building can not be broken like tofu dregs, and the wind blows down!
Since it is to be built, then it must be built, otherwise it is better not to build, so what kind of school building is a qualified school building? Quite simply, non-adobe, non-wooden, all school buildings must be masonry! ”
The merchants were dumbfounded, masonry structure?
Compared to a wood-to-mix house, the cost of a masonry house is at least double!
, why didn't these Wang Shouren say it just now, if they did, they wouldn't have been able to report that they had built two or three, or even five or six school buildings.
At this moment, almost ninety percent of the merchants felt that they were yin by Wang Shouren!
But what if you know you're in the dark?
I've already signed and agreed, but do you still want to regret it? Wang Shouren's Son of Heaven may still have some scruples about cutting off officials, but it is not too simple to cut off their heads.
Wang Shouren said with a smile: "You don't need to slander the official, the official said that this is good governance, it is good governance for the people, and naturally it will not become the evil government of your businessmen, I don't know if you have ever heard of cement?"
Cement? Many businessmen stared wide-eyed, but many businessmen nodded.
"What did your lord say, but what His Majesty used when he built the Grand Theater in Huzhou?"
"Not bad." Wang Shouren said with a smile: "Nowadays, if you want to build a solid brick and stone house, you need to mix glutinous rice, lime and mortar.
However, the disadvantage of this method is also obvious, that is, the cost is too large, and the people want to build houses in this way can not afford it, and this cement is made of limestone, clay and mineral powder in a certain proportion of fusion, the effect may be slightly inferior to the former, but the cost is low, and the same strong and durable.
The Son of Heaven gave the cement formula to the official, so that the official could build cement workshops in various places for the construction of school buildings.
When you finish the construction of the school building, you can also open more cement workshops to make cement and sell it to the common people, and the official can guarantee that in a few years, you will be able to earn back the money you used to build the school building! ”
The merchants were shocked again, you must know that in these years, everything that involves formulas and secret recipes is a treasure, and it can be passed down as an heirloom, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one party is worth ten thousand gold.
But it's also relieving to think about it, whose secret recipe is it?
It's today, who in the world doesn't know that today likes craftsmen, and there are countless novelties that come out.
For example, the eternal grain series of wines, this wine has been out for seven or eight years, and there are simply so many imitations by the folks, but who can shake the status of eternal grain wine!
This is not something that can be explained by fame, alcohol is a thing that relies on word of mouth, and how does word of mouth come about?
Relying on the recognition of folk wine customers, the reason why wine customers recognize is not because the unique brewing process of Yongliang wine has not been imitated so far?
It is no exaggeration to say that if the formula of Yongliangye is sold today, it will definitely be the sky-high price of the sky-high price!
This formula is also the Son of Heaven, otherwise I don't know how long it will be snatched away by the powerful and powerful.
The most shrewd thing about businessmen is that they like to calculate gains and losses, and no businessman in the world likes to do loss-making transactions, just like signing up to build a school building now.
The businessmen present either wanted to fight for an opportunity like Peng Ze, or they wanted to catch Wang Shouren's line, and their reputation was ranked behind their interests.
After weighing the gains and losses, they felt that they would sign up for this transaction accounting, at least on the premise that they would not lose money, otherwise they would succumb to power, and even if they built a school building, they would be fooled.
Now Wang Shouren is rewarded with cement formula, which can be regarded as repaying some of their good deeds, if they still want to fool, Wang Shouren will not use the sword of the Son of Heaven to cut people!
