Chapter 366: A New Beginning, Looking to the Future
After Lin Chuan's wedding in Hanzhong, Cao Cao and others sent blessings to Lin Chuan, and then did not continue to stay to disturb Lin Chuan and Cao Jie to enjoy the world of the two, and left Han one after another.
In the Hanzhong Marquis' Mansion, the biggest change in the lives of Lin Chuan and Cao Jie is that the two live together, and the rest is still the same as usual.
Just got married, and the two lived the feeling of an old husband and wife.
On this day, Lin Chuan was walking with Cao Jie in Hanzhong City, and the two watched the people coming and going in the city, Lin Chuan suddenly felt that he was a little confused at that moment, whether he had traveled to Dawei, or whether he had a bizarre dream as the Marquis of Hanzhong.
"Lang Jun, what are you looking at?"
Cao Jie saw Lin Chuan looking at the lively street and asked softly.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan took Cao Jie's hand, and then threw that illusory feeling out of his mind.
"It's nothing, I just think that the people of Hanzhong have more smiles on their faces."
Hearing this, Cao Jie smiled and continued to stroll through the streets of Hanzhong City with Lin Chuan.
After Lin Chuan and Cao Jie returned to the Hou Mansion of Hanzhong, they talked about the changes in Hanzhong and Great Wei over the years.
"After Jie'er came back from Yangzhou, he already found that the lives of the people of Dawei were really much better than before."
Cao Jie still remembers that trip to Yangzhou with Lin Chuan, for the important town of Yangzhou, whose population and city size are smaller than that of Hanzhong and Yecheng, the people there also lived a life of abundant food and clothing.
"Yes, but the husband has to continue to work hard to make the people of Dawei live a better life!"
"Lang Jun is talking about the future of maritime trade, right?"
Cao Jie heard Lin Chuan say that the people of Great Wei could still live a better life than now, and couldn't help but ask Lin Chuan.
"Maritime trade is only one aspect, it is not enough for Dawei to only produce raw materials, but also to turn these raw materials into various commodities through the production base, so that the people of Dawei can enjoy high-quality products at low prices."
Then Lin Chuan began to tell Cao Jie about his thoughts on the future development of Great Wei.
"For Dawei and the people of Dawei, the most critical and basic food problem has been solved.
Now, in addition to the food problem, the mass production of cotton cloth and linen cloth has also solved the problem of clothing for the people of the Great Wei Dynasty.
However, whether it is grain or cloth, the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce does not have much profit in the process of sales, and the most profits to the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce are commodities such as glass mirrors and glass cups. ”
Lin Chuan explained this, and Cao Jie already roughly understood what Lin Chuan wanted to express.
"What does Lang Jun mean is that the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce will launch more high-profit products in the future?"
Faced with Cao Jie's question, Lin Chuan replied with a smile: "Yes, but in the future, the high-profit goods produced by the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce will not only be sold to the people and scholars of the Great Wei, but also to people from other countries."
In this way, we can use these high-profit goods to exchange raw materials directly for production in other countries, which can save some of the time of trading. ”
Under Lin Chuan's explanation, Cao Jie gradually understood Lin Chuan's future adjustment to the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.
After the start of maritime trade, the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce will become a giant that concentrates processing, production and sales.
However, all this will not be gradually realized until the construction of the treasure ship is completed and the Great Wei Navy has accumulated enough experience in sea navigation.
Lin Chuan, who has been in Dawei for ten years since this year, is finally ready to start speeding up the process of Dawei's industrialization.
Prior to this, Lin Chuan established the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and the production base, so that the officials and people of the Great Wei gradually began to get used to the existence of such a commercial giant as the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.
And the existence of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce can not only bring tangible benefits to the people of the Great Wei, but more importantly, the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce has gradually become an important channel for Cao Cao to regulate and control the materials of the Great Wei.
The Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce has developed to this day, and it is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise by analogy with later generations.
Then all parts of the Great Wei built cement straight roads at the same time, and the spirit of building roads first in order to get rich was thoroughly practiced by the Great Wei.
With the blessing of the cement straight road, the Hanzhong branches and production bases in all parts of Dawei can be connected into one, and later Liu Ba began to upgrade and transform the post station system in Yizhou, which also had a very huge role in promoting the traffic between various states and counties in Dawei.
The construction of cement straights and the upgrading of the post station system have further strengthened the production capacity and sales capacity of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.
Lin Chuan was anxious to engage in maritime trade, mainly because although the products of the Great Wei were abundant, the degree of development in the south of the Great Wei was still too low.
Therefore, if you want to further promote the development of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, you need to produce more goods in the production base, which means that there is a large demand for raw materials for production, and overseas trade is indeed much more convenient than the development of the southern Wei Dynasty at this time.
Lin Chuan and Cao Jie talked a lot about the future development of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and the Great Wei, and the two hugged each other until late at night.
Early the next morning, the energetic Lin Chuan began to check the reports of the branches and production bases sent back to Hanzhong from all parts of Dawei.
Previously, Lin Chuan handed over these reports to Liu Ba for review after summarizing, and now Liu Ba is presiding over the expansion of the Yangzhou branch and the site selection of the Yangzhou production base in Yangzhou, and these things can only be completed by Lin Chuan himself.
Youzhou's report shows that after Kebineng and Budugen were completely annexed to the Great Wei, although the mutual market had been cancelled, the number of goods purchased by the Xianbei people in the Great Wei had increased.
Of course, Lin Chuan understands what the fundamental reason is, after the Xianbei people leave the grassland, they also need food and clothing, and these basic needs of life can greatly increase the sales of goods in the Youzhou branch.
However, this increase will soon level off, and the number of Youzhou chapter's merchandise sales will continue to increase until the second large-scale population growth in Youzhou.
Then Lin Chuan checked the reports of other states and counties, and found that the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce has basically become the main place for the people of Dawei to shop and consume, especially the Hanzhong branch at the county level.
And there are more and more people in Dawei who think that working in the production base will earn enough to support their families, and it will be easier than farming.
There are now nearly 10,000 people working in the production base in Hanzhong, and entering the production base or working in the Hanzhong branch has become the pursuit of some children of ordinary people in Dawei.
"Before the start of maritime trade, it is still necessary to upgrade the Hanzhong branch and the production base.
After all, the current Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce needs to make a distinction between the common people of the Great Wei and the officials and scholars.
The assembly line production used in the production base also needs to develop more tools that are convenient for craftsmen to produce. ”
Lin Chuan thought about it in the study until Cao Jie called him to dinner, and then put away the papyrus paper in front of him that was full of plans and ideas.
