Chapter 162: The Workshop Needs Advanced Technology

Li Si said, "Such a good salt is indeed worth the price." However, selling to the Xiongnu and other countries is suspected of being a capital enemy. ”

"That's your ignorance, I said, one of the tricks in the policy towards the Huns is commercial transactions.

We seem to have sold salt to the Huns, and when the Huns had salt to eat, they had great strength. But think about it, what does Daqin have?

War horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock. Not to mention war horses and sheep. Let's just talk about cattle, is there a shortage of Great Qin? Qin An asked.

"But it's lacking, it's very lacking." Ying Zheng said without hesitation.

Qin An said: "In ancient times, there was never a shortage of cattle, this is the best labor force for the people, and it is a good helper for cultivating the land."

So comparing the two, I spent a little bit of salt to get what we wanted, and is this salt expensive, or is it expensive for cattle, sheep and horses? ”

"Of course, it's cattle, sheep and horses, a cow can be exchanged for ten catties, no, a hundred catties of salt is not too much." Fusu replied seriously.

The others nodded their heads, agreeing with Fusu's words.

Ying Zheng said: "Sir, so come. But is there any other way to do business? ”

"Of course there is, but all of this depends on productivity, to be honest, now I tell you that a set of productivity is good, but the speed is too slow, we should do a more effective way of making salt."

"Isn't Sir's method of salt making advanced enough?" Ying Zheng said in shock.

"In fact, the process is the same, turning the salt mine into brine, filtering, and then firing, but how to directly combine its processes to reduce labor.

For example, we are at the seaside, and the seawater is inexhaustible, so we can use long pipes to let the seawater flow directly into the salt factory.

The seawater that enters the salt workshop is filtered directly into seawater, which saves us a lot of time.

The clean brine goes directly into the furnace and burns, day and night, the salt will become more and more, and the workers only need to watch the fire.

After the salt is boiled, you can make refined salt directly, and now we have to carefully grind it into fine salt after getting it from the pot manually, but we have a tool to make him grind it automatically, so that we don't save a lot of time? Qin An said.

At this time, Qin An almost talked about the modern salt-making process and the machine.

It's a pity that no, they are talking about the Qin Dynasty, except for human and animal power, they don't know other power.

"Sir." Ying Zheng said, "Your idea is very novel, if Mr. Gongyi is here, he will be very excited, and then start to study the tools that Mr. said." ”

Qin An bowed his head and said, "Yes, unless he is not interested in research." In addition, there are many business models, and what I just mentioned is only an agency model.

There is also diversification, that is, the production of various things, which is not my specialty, and I will not say more.

However, as long as Zhao Su and the others leave the village, they can go to study economic management, business model, and so on, and they will understand. ”

Everyone was suddenly extremely embarrassed, not that they didn't want to go out of the future, but that they couldn't go, Qin An could come to Daqin, that was already Daqin's luck.

"Sir is right." Ying Zheng said, "We can learn when we go out." ”

"If you deal with it, you can learn when you go out." Everyone agreed.

Qin An sighed slightly: What they said was so perfunctory, they must not want to go out in their hearts, they have been locked up for more than 2,000 years, and suddenly said that the times have changed, and earth-shaking changes have taken place, which is somewhat unacceptable.

It seems that he still needs to work very hard, and he must let the village chief accept the outside world.

Besides, this village is so retro and valuable for research, maybe the state will give me some bonuses.

Qin An thought that he might get a generous bonus from the state in the future, and then use this bonus to buy a house and a car, and then marry Bai Fumei, and he struggled for 20 years in his life, and his saliva couldn't help but flow out.

Ying Zheng and the others saw Qin An drooling, and couldn't help but look at each other, could this gentleman be sick? Or did you think of something delicious?

I guess I thought of something delicious.

After everyone's eye contact, they always thought that Qin An had thought of something delicious.

"Sir. Mr. Ying Zheng shouted twice.

Qin An came back to his senses, and immediately knew that he had lost his temper, so he immediately wiped the saliva from his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "See the smile, let everyone laugh." ”

Ying Zheng asked, "Sir, did you think of any food?" ”

"Yes, yes. Qin An took the opportunity to say, "I want to eat barbecue, is this lettuce ripe." Lettuce wrapped in barbecue, don't take a bit of flavor. ”

"Isn't that to be planted?"

"I've seen it. I've already left the seeds, so let's go and have them pick them now. Qin An said, "Let's have a barbecue at night, how about everyone go and prepare it?" ”

"It's fine."

Seeing that Qin An was so interested, he agreed.

Immediately, Qin An asked Zhang Han to take people up the mountain to catch wild boars, wild boars and pheasants and other animals, and asked Gongzi Gao to go to the river to catch some fish.

Qin An prepared some charcoal and iron shelves needed for barbecue, and then went to the kitchen to make some cakes and eat them wrapped in barbecue.

It's decided, I'll have a barbecue tonight.

After the division of labor was clear, Ying Zheng, Li Si and others sat in the willing room and waited for the food.

Seeing Qin An enter the kitchen, Ying Zheng said, "Let's go out for a walk too, I have something to say." ”

"No."

After leaving the courtyard, Ying Zheng said: "Let's go and see how the second child catches fish." ”

"No."

So under the leadership of Ying Zheng, he slowly walked to the river.

After walking for a while, Ying Zheng asked, "Li Si, what do you think of Mr.'s business model?" ”

It's coming, it's finally here, the First Emperor still asked, Li Si thought to himself.

He immediately spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, Sir's strategy can make the imperial court collect the silver taels as soon as possible, and there is no need to worry about sales, as long as you focus on the output."

Let the court reduce a lot of trouble, Weichen thinks it is very feasible.

Now, the imperial court has set the price of salt at 30 wen a catty, so we can suppress the price between 20 wen and 25 wen to find the agent. ”

"Your Majesty." Meng Yi said, "Sir's agent policy is good, but the premise is that he sets up the headquarters of Daqin Refined Salt in Xianyang, and he is also a businessman to manage it.

However, Xianyang's salt mines and production are currently unable to provide the entire Great Qin for use.

The imperial court has long been aware of this step, so salt workshops have been set up all over the country, and the salt is directly handed over to the local government for sale, so Weichen believes that there is no need to find an agent to sell it. ”

Li Si frowned slightly, and said in his heart: Sure enough, this Meng Yi will become my biggest competitor.
