Chapter 179: He loves the people more than he treats
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway.
In the past, Fang Xuanling and they were all laymen.
Now, when they heard that they were 30,000 catties a day, they had to force themselves to become experts.
Of course!
Now it's useless for them to look at it.
For when they have finished reading it, they are not allowed to make it themselves.
Not to mention......
They don't necessarily understand it yet.
If they go back and build it themselves, it will definitely be too inefficient to be used.
Although this is a simple boiler, there are many details that need to be paid attention to in the boiler.
All I can say is......
His Majesty gave this thing to Li Chong, and he could go to another place to open another mill that was exactly the same.
This is simply an unprecedented exception for Li Chong.
Li Chong also said at this time: "Actually, the reason why we want to open this mill is also for the convenience of the people of the world. I, and the Academy's purpose, have always been people-oriented. I know! Over the years, you have all misunderstood me to some extent. Even many people still don't understand why His Majesty trusts me so much."
"Actually, it's very simple!"
"Because I can lead Datang into the next era."
"From stone, to bronze, to iron, to steam, ...... Maybe there's electricity."
"That's right! It's the kind of electricity that thunders in the sky. Electricity was used in place of the labor of the people. Of course, this is too complicated to cover for a while, but I have a brilliant way to use electricity for the service...... Not...... Let's talk about it later when we have a chance. In a word...... You just need to know that Your Majesty's trust in me is not for nothing, and it is not because of my beauty."
If Li Chong said this when he first came to Datang, then others would definitely think that he was crazy, and you still want to use thunder and lightning as an envoy? You're crazy!
But now!
No one would question his words, even if they didn't believe it in their hearts.
Of course!
Li Chong is also in line with the principle of blowing the cow out first before speaking, as for whether he can do it or not, he will burp when the time comes, and they can't do anything with him.
Li Er's eyes also instantly sharpened at this time.
Why didn't you tell me about this in advance!?
After everyone dispersed, Li Er questioned Li Zhong about this issue alone.
Li Chong replied, "Actually, I won't, I'm just bragging and scaring them. But it is true that a thousand years later, we have reached the age of electricity, and we have even entered the next era of the age of electricity, the information age."
Li Er asked, "What is the information age?"
Li replied: "The so-called information age, in layman's terms, means that you can know everything in the world without leaving home, and it is every ordinary person. For example, one moment ago, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was killed, and the next moment, the people of the whole world knew that Emperor Yang of Sui was killed. And...... All the books and knowledge in the whole world are available to the people. Of course, you have to spend money."
Daming Palace.
'In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, in the seventh month, this night ......,
'Your Majesty asked Li Chong to stay in Daming Palace. ,….
Julang silently wrote down Li Chong's stay in the palace tonight.
……
Following.
Morning meeting.
Li Er yawned.
The rest of the people are also a little unenergetic at today's meeting.
The main thing is that what Li Chong said yesterday shocked them too much.
So they raised their pillows and thought about it all night.
The age of steam.
Does this era have anything to do with you, and what does it have to do with you?
If you can't have anything to do with this.
What will happen to you in the future?
In a word......
Think so
A lot.
In fact, people are still somewhat worried and afraid of what they don't know.
For example, Fang Xuanling, he cares about this very much.
And now, Li Zhong has become the key.
'I have to have a good relationship with Li Chong! ,
Fang Xuanling secretly said in his heart.
Otherwise......
What will become of this world in the future, I am afraid they do not know.
Fortunately, this worry slowly dissipated after a few days.
Because......
Steam is the same as copper and iron, and they soon realize that it can't replace them.
So......
There should be no problem with his left servant shot.
There is actually only one biggest impact now, and that is ......
Li Chong has such a steam mill, it will definitely be very profitable in the future.
Also, those who rely on water should not be able to compete with Li Chong.
……
After briefly conducting some experiments and seeing that the mill was already functioning, Li Zhong then asked people to start promoting the mill.
In fact, this mill is honestly not very profitable.
The main thing is that the price of rice in the Zhenguan period was not high, and one bucket was only five wen, and one bucket was twelve and a half catties.
In the case that the price of rice is not high, the processing fee will definitely not be high.
Of course!
It also depends on what you compare it to, at least ......
Li Zhong calculated, through this mill, he can earn Fang Xuanling a year's income in half a year.
This is probably something that many people can't even think of.
Other words......
Now Li Chong's mill earns about two Fang Xuanling's annual income.
Soon......
After Lee hired fifty people, each responsible for about two workshops, the steam mill became known.
In the beginning, due to the problem of trust, there will certainly not be many people coming.
However, as long as Li Chong keeps the price low enough, he is not afraid that they will not come.
Fifteen days is the watershed.
Fifteen days ago, the number of people coming to the steam mill was not very large, but since the fifteenth day, the number of people who have come here has increased day by day.
A month later.
The streets can already be seen to be somewhat crowded.
Li re-looked at the record of the highest day, and saw that the steam mill only took five hours to grind 45,000 catties.
Really!
He still underestimated the efficiency of the mill.
If he can do this every day, then he can earn one more Fang Xuanling.
Subsequently......
Li Zhong also reported to Li Er about the efficiency of the mill.
Li Er looked at the account book and said, "Fast is fast, but you don't make much."
Li Chong said, "Compared with the tax revenue of the entire Tang Dynasty, this is naturally not much. And...... This is not to make money, but mainly to improve the productivity of the people, so that the people can have more time and energy to do other things, such as growing vegetables, weaving, and raising pigs. Anyway...... No matter what you do, it's definitely better than wasting time on your own slow spring rice. It just so happens that it's harvest season again, and the next few months should be even higher."
"Next...... In Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Chengdu, let's build a few each."
Li Zhong said later.
Li 2: "......"
Li Chong: "The main thing is not to make money, but to facilitate the people. And ......"
Li Er can see that he loves the people more than he does.
