Chapter 119: Yang Shiqi's guidance

Yang Shiqi thought about it, and also felt that Xie Lun's future was limited.

The most important problem is that Xie Lun's hands and feet are not clean.

Yes, in the Liaodong Wo case, Yang Shiqi actually felt that Xie Lun might be involved, but as for how much he participated, he didn't know, after all, the Xie family has been an official eunuch from the Southern Song Dynasty to the present, and the experience of the Xie family as an official is much stronger than those craftsmen. Even if there was really something, it was impossible to be caught easily, not to mention, He Xi himself did not think of a thorough investigation.

But if you don't investigate thoroughly, it doesn't mean that you don't know who is suspicious and who isn't.

Xie Lun has a good younger brother, and Xie Jin is in Nanjing, so he can do things at night, in such a situation.

How could He Xi move Xie Lun. Not even the slightest change. But that doesn't mean there will be no restrictions in the future.

The gifts given by fate are secretly marked with a price, but it is not yet time to pay the bill.

What's more important is not that Xie Lun paid the price for what he had done before, the important thing is that Xie Lun had a previous conviction before, what will happen in the future? You must know that the money in He Xi's hands will only increase, not less.

If he commits another crime, it won't be so easy to pass.

And Yang Shiqi also thought about the benefits of Xie Lun to him.

Yang Shiqi was doing things under He Xi and deeply understood one thing, money as a tool is very useful. Yang Shiqi also wants to add this kind of tool reserve to his hands.

Don't get me wrong, Yang Shiqi doesn't want to be corrupt. After all, using money as a tool is a different concept from owning money.

Yang Shiqi didn't want to make money directly, but indirectly controlled some money for his own use, such as Xie Lun in front of him. With his relationship with Xie Lun, classmates and colleagues, it is not impossible for Xie Lun to help him with something in the future.

Yang Shiqi said: "What are you going to do? ”

Xie Lun said: "Didn't I ask Brother Yang for help? I raised only more than 3,000 taels of silver. But these more than 3,000 taels of silver can be sold for a few pieces of land at most, and nothing can be done. No, I want to ask Brother Yang to help me figure out a way. ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Think of a way, don't you think about the bank's money?" ”

Xie Lun said: "Exactly. ”

Yang Shiqi couldn't help frowning, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible, say hello to Lord He, it is estimated that Lord He will also help you." Just what do you want to do no? ”

Xie Lun said: "I am ready to buy a coal mine, which is the most profitable. I have inquired that there are many large and small coal mines at the southern foot of Yanshan. ”

Yang Shiqi shook his head and said: "You probably don't know, originally the coal mine was not on the list this time, but many people wanted coal mines, and Lord He had to add a few coal mines, don't say, you have thousands of taels, even tens of thousands of taels may not be able to win, they are all sky-high." ”

No one is a fool.

Although the use of steam engines is only the beginning, the importance of coal has been highlighted.

Not to mention, in order to maintain vegetation in the future, He Xi has implemented the use of coal in many places, anyway, Liaodong no longer uses charcoal fires, and all coal is used for heating. And the demand for heating in the north is simply too great. This alone is a huge positive for coal, not to mention the use of coal in various factories. As long as you take a coal mine, it is simply a million profits.

And for these nobles, they do more business, and they gradually think about it, and for those highly competitive business fields, they don't like it the most. And the kind of place where power can be used to monopolize is their favorite, and they can make money without thinking about it.

Coal mining, or minerals, is the most suitable industry.

The Nanyang Lu family, of course, is doing well in business. But the biggest industry of the Lu family in Nanyang is not tin mine.

Now almost the world's tin mine is out of the Lu family.

The income from tin ore is nearly half of the income of the Lu family.

Compared with the hard-earned money of buying and selling at sea, the money with blood, the money of minerals is earned by the richest slaves. If the copper mine is better, but the Sulu copper mine is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and only the imperial court itself knows how much money it makes.

But the government and the opposition can take out so much silver taels for He Xi to build Beijing City, which shows that the Ming Dynasty is also very wealthy.

When Xie Lun heard Yang Shiqi say this, his heart couldn't help but move, and said, "Then please ask Brother Yang for some advice." ”

Yang Shiqi said: "In fact, there is an industry that is most suitable for you. It's also something you can leverage with this money. ”

Xie Lun said: "What industry? ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Brick factory. ”

Xie Lun said; "Brick factory? This -------"

Yang Shiqi couldn't figure it out. How can a brick factory be the best?

In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and it was impossible to transport building materials over long distances. It can even be said, not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, many things, building materials, red bricks, cement, mortar, are supplied locally. It's not just about shipping costs, but it's also a big deal.

Therefore, the market of brick factories near Beijing is not cost-effective only in the north of Hebei and the south of Hebei.

Among the factories that put up the auction list on He Xi, there were almost no bidders from the huge brick factories.

Yes, the main project in Beijing is almost complete, and many places in the city have not yet been built. But many people have calculated, almost next year and the year after, the entire brick factory will not be able to run at full capacity.

Once that's the case, it's time to lose money.

For a longer period of time, the annual amount of bricks used near Beijing is estimated to be insufficient for the brick factories to plug their teeth.

Generally speaking, after taking over the brick factory, you can make money for a year or two without losing money. But that's about it. A lot of people are not optimistic.

And the brick factory is also a package that He Xi wants to throw out.

There is no point in getting it in your hands again. It takes too much effort to settle the aftermath, and in general, the gains outweigh the losses.

Now that the construction of Beijing city has not been completed, others can get a bite of profit in their hands, and after the construction of Beijing city is completed in the future, there will be no place to dump it. I can only find a way to end it myself.

These solutions are understood.

Yang Shiqi said: "Lord He is not satisfied with the water conservancy projects near Beijing, the Lugou River, the Chaohe River, the North Canal, and so on, these big rivers will be greatly rectified in the future, this matter is not known to others, you should have heard the rumors." ”

Xie Lun said: "I have heard of it, but you know how large the output of the brick factory is, even if these water conservancy projects are there, they will only be in operation for a few years, and they will be closed." ”

Xie Lun's businessman thinking is not heavy, or he is influenced by He Xi, he prefers to run a long-term industry, rather than just to make money. In his opinion, the brick factory is simply not enough as a fulcrum for this.

Yang Shiqi said: "Do you know the gold bricks? ”

Xie Lun said: "Naturally, I know that the floor tiles should be paved in the Jinluan Palace." ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Yes, the palace is about to be built, and there are too many floor tiles needed in the palace. The output of gold bricks is too slow, even taking two or three years, so the adult put forward the idea of ceramic tiles, and now the brick factory is about to output. Ceramic tiles have to be transported farther than ordinary bricks and stones, not to mention, you haven't thought that there have been no famous kilns in the north for a long time. ”

Xie Lun's heart moved, and he said, "You mean burning porcelain?" ”

History is so ruthless, the five famous kilns before, almost all in the north, but now Beijing porcelain combined, not as good as a Jingdezhen. Nowadays, the brick factory can burn tiles and porcelain.

You don't even need that kind of superb, as long as it is ordinary and high-quality, it is enough to open the northern market.

Yang Shiqi said earnestly: "What is the most important thing in the brick factory? It's the workers, it's the machines, and now this brick factory has as many as 36 steam engines to produce bricks, and it is not a loss to win the brick factory just for these things. Others don't know, don't you know yet? With these things, what can't you do? ”

After all, Xie Lun has been under He Xi for a long time, so he naturally knows that what Yang Shiqi said is true.

Talent is the most important person, followed by science and technology, machinery. But in the final analysis, this is a human problem, after all, even if there is a machine, it needs to be used by people.

The reason why He Xi opened up these industries, the most important problem is not the problem of people? It's easy to build these industries, but it's not easy to send enough people to manage, maintain, and make money.

He Xi released it for other purposes.

Some people died, but not completely......
