0639 Gathering sand into a tower
In the ancient society where farming and weaving were the main business, no one could refuse the charm of the water conservancy spinning wheel.
After learning about the purpose and efficacy of this spinning wheel, the visitors were either stunned or disbelieving, but without exception, they all gathered around the big spinning wheel, staring at the details of the operation of each part of the spinning wheel.
When they saw dozens of strands of silk being successfully spun at the same time, the exclamations in these mouths were even more endless and endless.
"This big spinning wheel is the ingenious work of the good workers in the south, located in the water rapids, each car does more than 30 spindles, the river is endless and the labor is not stopped, the daily spinning yarn is more than 100 catties, and the merit is ten times better than manpower!"
Seeing that the masses were attracted here, Li Tai also smiled and personally introduced the origin and work efficiency of this large spinning wheel. He did not take the credit for this creation for himself, but put it on the heads of the craftsmen of the Southern Dynasty, and the circulation of production technology could also promote the integration of the people of the North and the South.
After everyone heard this, they all sighed and said: "The Nanren are skillful, and the craftsmanship is really good!" If such a textile heavy instrument can be pushed to the world, how many cold disciples can be sheltered! ”
After some emotion, even if some people rushed to speak and asked how much investment would be required if they wanted to rent or erect such a large spinning wheel for textile production?
Li Tai just waved his hand and said with a smile in the face of the crowd's inquiry: "Although this big spinning wheel saves manpower and has made great achievements, it consumes a lot of water power. Once the folk countryside is allowed to flood and erect, the rivers and canals will be blocked, and the foundation of agriculture will be seriously harmed! Therefore, only the state capital can measure the size of the water power, and the rivers and canals can be erected where the rivers and canals are cheaper......"
The reason why he did not promote the large spinning wheel in Guanzhong was naturally because the water resources in Guanzhong were relatively scarce, and the second was that his voice in Guanzhong was still not high enough to effectively control the expansion of production scale.
But today's Jingzhou Governor's Office is like his hall of words, and anything within the 36 prefectures under its jurisdiction can be decided at a word, of course, it can systematically plan and produce, and promote the application of large spinning wheels without harming agricultural facilities such as canals.
When everyone heard that the people were not allowed to erect this amazing spinning wheel without permission, their hearts were cold and disappointed, but soon Li Tai's next words made them hopeful: "Of course, the reason why the state government uses this device is not to compete with the people for profit, but to protect the root of the farming industry.
But if the textile family can't benefit from this, it will inevitably live up to the merit of this artifact. Although the people could not spin from it, they could weave from it. Today, there are thousands of households under the governor's office, and there are many good weavers, but if they can use a loom on credit, they can weave diligently......"
What Li Tai has adopted here is also the investment and production model that has been running within the Qu League for several years, but now it is promoted at a wider level, no longer limited to the households on both sides of Luoshui, but the entire Jingzhou Governor's Office under the jurisdiction of 36 states, and the investors are no longer limited to the members of the Qu League, but all the local heroes in Jingzhou.
Through the high efficiency and low cost of large spinning wheels, a relatively cheap large number of yarns are obtained, and then centralized large-scale production is organized, thus bringing profound changes in production efficiency and production methods to the entire textile industry.
In troubled times, strong soldiers and horses are the only way to protect and progress, and the premise of strong soldiers and horses is the need to fully integrate and use the various resources they have.
This mode of textile production has brought a lot of benefits to the powerful people involved, so even those who are not involved in Guanzhong have heard of it.
Although these powerful people also had a large number of weavers in their homes, silk cloth was like food, a basic consumer of life, and it was also a currency that could pass through all parties.
Some people even thought that as long as they invested a sum of money in the early stage to build hundreds of looms, and then gradually participated in other investment opportunities here in Jingzhou through the profits of these looms, through this way of profit reinvestment, I am afraid that it will not be many years before they can have a considerable family business in Jingzhou!
Therefore, the investment enthusiasm of the masses was instantly detonated, and they enthusiastically subscribed to the investment, and soon the loom of the investment broke through the 50,000 mark, but the enthusiasm of the masses for investment was still undiminished. Some people are too conservative in the early stage and have too few pledges, and then after seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, they are busy and want to invest more.
Li Tai hurriedly waved his hand to signal the suspension of the record, 50,000 looms means 50,000 skilled weavers in the prime of life. Although the number of residents in the Governor's Office has increased significantly since last year, when it comes to the condition that adult women are skilled in weaving, this number is still far beyond the scale that the Governor's Office can now control and organize production.
Although the amount of investment that can be absorbed is very attractive, Li Tai also knows that he can't become a big fat man in one bite. So he can only be like a little scum who loves to flirt but is difficult to fight, and said with the resentful eyes of everyone that the Governor's Office has limited planning, and can only accept the investment share of 10,000 looms, and the amount of investment per person cannot exceed 100.
Everyone present was disappointed when they heard this, they were very disgusted with the government reaching out to them to ask for money, but now they rushed to send money to the government but were turned away, which was also uncomfortable.
However, despite the disappointment, they still have hope, because there are still half of the exhibition parks on the other side of the river, and there may be more lucrative investment opportunities in them.
Seeing that everyone was impatient to cross the river to enjoy other investment projects, Li Tai was also happy in his heart.
The design and layout of this park can be said to be well versed in people's psychology, first through a variety of fashion exhibitions to hook the minds of visitors, the next paper, dyeing and other investment opportunities are hors d'oeuvres, some people in the spirit of trying to do no harm to start investing. Then the big spinning wheel completely aroused people's interest, but it turned out to be disappointing and unstoppable in a way that covered the plate and limited investment.
Just looking at the demeanor and mood of these people in front of him, it is obvious that they are different from when they first entered the park, at least they are no longer as calm and rational as before.
However, the next park arrangement did not disappoint these people, and it can be said that the arrival of wonderful waves is exciting, which makes people feel happy and breathtaking.
In order to make this session of the China Merchants Conference more successful, Li Tai even moved out the things at the bottom of his own press box, such as flavor extraction and soap making, and a series of crafts that his family has been operating for a long time, are now also exhibited in the park for people to see.
If these industries continue to be kept secret and monopolized, it will be great to be able to add some money to his family.
But for Li Tai today, even if simple money and wealth are not different from dung, if they can't reach a quantity that is enough to cause qualitative change, the meaning is not too great. Even if you want to run a family business for your children and grandchildren after you have no worries about food and clothing, what family business can compare to the world's social society?
Of course, the reason why Li Tai is so generous is actually because of the trade with Gangneung. Jiangling surpassed Chubei in terms of commercial development and handicraft production, and even if the Handong region had been occupied by the Jingzhou Governor's Office, it still could not gain a significant advantage over Jiangling.
If the Jingzhou governor's government wants to make a considerable profit in trade with each other, it must have fist goods that are more profitable and the market responds better.
Li Tai naturally can't learn from the unscrupulous-stirring sticks of the later generations, and in the case that the raw material origin and production scale of white sugar cannot be vigorously expanded, these luxury industries of his own family are undoubtedly the commodities that can best cater to the magnates of the Southern Liang clan.
And even if Jiangnan is now a poor livelihood, the purchasing power of these powerful people in Gangneung has not been greatly affected. When the one-eyed dragon opened the altar to preach the "Tao Te Ching", everyone bathed and changed clothes with soap at home, sprayed a little perfume, and then sat around to listen to the lecture, which was simply fragrant and very fragrant!
Such a large cross-border trade was obviously not satisfied by the limited output of Li Tai's own workshop, so it was natural to attract capital and expand production.
These products in Guanzhong has long been synonymous with high-end luxury, when these Guanzhong heroes learned that they only need to pay some capital investment to obtain the corresponding technology and join the production, they are immediately excited, have admitted, before the regret of not being able to invest in the loom has also been compensated at this moment.
In fact, similar production, as long as the process flow and operation skills are understood, both labor and raw material costs are relatively limited. m.
However, Li Tai still set a very high investment amount, and although he no longer monopolized production, it was reasonable for him to collect royalties. And things that are too cheap to get will not be valued and rare, and the extremely high investment cost can also ensure that these participating heroes do not fight a price war in order to compete for market share, after all, this is a very important foreign trade commodity, once it is broken, it will have an international impact!
As for the processing skills of white sugar, Li Tai did not display it in this investment promotion, one good thing cannot be released at one time, and the other is that he also needs white sugar to play a strategic united front value, so the process still needs to be kept secret.
