Chapter 160: Earth-shaking changes

"That's good." Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be a pity if one of the four great inventions of China was not passed down because it was not noticed by a faint king.

Qin An said with a smile: "Not only that, but the technology is constantly developing, and there are clay movable type, wooden movable type, copper movable type and so on.

It's a pity that in the end, it was people from abroad who developed it, and they made printing a very easy thing, and it was no problem to print 100,000 copies a day. ”

"100,000 copies?" Ying Zheng and others were shocked.

"Sir." Meng Yi said, "The numbers you said are really scary. ”

"What is this?" Qin An said, "Let me tell you, the capital's newspapers have to print at least seven million copies a day. ”

"Seven million copies?" The crowd was surprised again.

Qin An looked at everyone's surprised expressions, and said again with an indescribable sense of comfort in his heart: "But that's outside, after the road is opened up, the village can spend money to buy a large printing factory, and print whatever it wants." ”

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, even if I really have something to print, the village is so crowded, and I don't have so many books to print."

Therefore, it should not be necessary to buy a printing house. ”

In fact, Ying Zheng wants it very much in his heart, but he can't do it, the present is Daqin, not the future.

If Qin An can really send a printing house to Daqin, Ying Zheng is willing to pay for everything.

Fortunately, movable type printing is enough, although it can't print seven million a day, but thousands or even tens of thousands should be fine, as long as there are enough people.

Two days passed in a flash, and in these two days, Qin An took Yingzheng to observe the farm.

Ying Zheng found that the piglet was already forty or fifty pounds, and the feathers of the chick were completely colored, and they had grown a lot.

The smell of the farm is not good, but it is quite clean.

In particular, the pig manure and chicken manure from the farm are used by Qin'an and made into fertilizer for irrigation.

There are also four paper mills of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as a blacksmith's house, and now the blacksmith's house has been relocated to the watermill room, for the simple reason that the power of the waterwheel can be used to beat the iron twenty-four hours a day to make the iron less impurities.

Although Qin'an's pouring method is very fast, the quality is not very good, and only the steel that has been tempered can be used for a long time.

For example, the gliding kite is made after countless beatings, but it is just an iron pipe, and everyone doesn't know what it is used for after it is built.

Therefore, the gliding kite was built, and Zhang Han didn't know it.

Then there is the salt workshop, and now there are more than 100,000 nearly refined salt in the village, and every family eats it for several years.

There is also a flour mill, which is not currently for profit, but purely to help villagers grind wheat into flour.

There is also a tofu workshop next to the flour workshop, which specializes in making tofu, Qin An saw that the villagers had a lot of soybeans, and everyone fed on soybean rice, which was really unpalatable.

So a tofu workshop was built to make tofu and soy milk.

These things are all from the village, so they are distributed to the villagers for free.

After Ying Zheng tasted the tofu, he was instantly attracted by the refreshing taste, and the people could add another delicacy.

These two workshops are new, and they were both built after Ying Zheng left.

Not only that, Qin An also built a glass workshop, specializing in making glass, although there are no materials for making it, but he believes that Ying Zheng will definitely find a way to help him get the materials, isn't the sand everywhere.

There is also a jerky workshop next to the glass, which is to make all the meat into jerky.

The main thing is that he fought a tiger last time, and it was too wasteful to ignore it like this, so Qin An asked people to build this jerky workshop after Yingzheng left.

At present, the main meat in the workshop is mutton jerky.

After the jerky was made, it was instantly liked by the villagers, and they could eat it all day long if they had nothing to do.

There is no way, there is no snack in the village at all, and finally there is one, of course everyone can't put it down.

Qin Anrang was afraid that the villagers would get angry if they ate too much, so he used the excuse of selling money to give a piece of mutton jerky for seven days.

The mutton that has become jerky has been preserved for a lot longer.

After Ying Zheng tasted it, he was also conquered by the deliciousness, and then took several sticks on the spot, and Li Si and the others who followed behind Ying Zheng also took a few each.

They ate and talked, and walked around the village.

After seeing the changes in the village, Ying Zheng was shocked by the colorful workshops in the village.

In just one month, the village can be described as earth-shattering.

If there were so many workshops in any village outside Daqin, why wouldn't the people be rich?

Finally everyone returned to the courtyard.

Ying Zheng: "If in ancient times, such as Daqin, could it also build so many workshops?" ”

"Yes." Qin An said, "But it can't be built in the village. ”

"Why?" Ying Zheng asked, "If our village can build, why can't other villages?" ”

"It's different." Qin An said, "There are several reasons why the village can be so large.

One of them is the labor force, and in ancient times, a hundred villages were already considered big villages.

Secondly, once a workshop has been built in the village, who will manage it? Will the things produced in this workshop sell for money in the future?

If you sell it for money, to whom? If you don't sell for money, the people in the village only pay and don't get anything, who wants to do it? ”

"However, the villagers of Zhaojia Village seem to have only paid but have no gain." Lees said.

"No, we have money or goods for them, and the dried meat, salt, etc., are considered wages for the villagers.

If the villagers run out, they have to buy and exchange money or other items we need.

I didn't give it to them in vain, and even if I did, it would be the welfare of the villagers, and I made it clear in advance.

I would give them benefits every three months, and the benefits were distributed according to the profits in the village.

Of course, there was no money in the first quarter, so salt and the four treasures of the study were used instead, as well as iron tools.

In the second quarter, it depends on how much Boss Meng can sell in the village? Then it is distributed to the villagers according to the proportion, and the villagers need to buy the products of the village workshop with money.

When the workshop makes money, after deducting the principal, as well as wages and dividends, the village will extract the tax from the workshop.

The last money is the village chief or the village's money, because I don't know if these workshops are the village chief or the village's. ”

"It's good to count the village." Ying Zheng said.

"If it's a village, then you have to divide the taxes and the profits of the workshop. The tax is the unconditional help of the villagers and the construction of the village.

The profit of the workshop is to continue to build for profit, and the ultimate goal is to make the village rich. ”
