Chapter 548: Balance of Needs

"What are so many warehouses for? Isn't it enough to just build a large warehouse. Ganro said.

The director replied with a smile: "There are two purposes for doing this, one is to facilitate the removal of things, and you can go to any warehouse to get whatever you want."

The second is fire prevention. If one warehouse catches fire, at most one warehouse will be burned down, and the others will be safe. ”

"What if all the warehouses were on fire?" Ganro asked.

"Then someone must have deliberately set the fire, this is a crime, and the gentleman will know that someone is trying to harm him." The director said.

Gan Luo was also deflated.

At this time, everyone found that they had underestimated this factory director, and the person Qin An chose really had some ability.

Ying Zheng said slowly: "It makes sense. Let's take a look at the dyeing area. ”

"No."

Then the director of the factory took everyone to the outside of the dyeing area, to be honest, the director did not want to bring everyone to the dyeing area at all, not only there is a secret formula here, but also there is a smell in the dyeing area.

Just as they came to the entrance of the dyeing mill, the director stopped them.

"Village chief, ladies and gentlemen, there are rules in the factory, and anyone who enters the dyeing workshop needs to wear a mask and overalls."

Just when everyone was puzzled, the factory director had already called the security guard at the gate of the dyeing workshop to bring the masks and overalls.

The factory director took out a work uniform and a mask, and said, "Village chief, this is a mask, this is a work clothes." The villain helps the village chief to put on his overalls. ”

The overalls are white aprons, as long as they are put around the neck, and then the rope on the back is fastened.

After helping Ying Zheng to get dressed, the factory director himself began to wear it, and after everyone saw the factory director dressed, they all followed suit, and soon tied their aprons and masks.

After the factory director saw that everyone was dressed, he made a gesture of please.

"This way, please." The factory director stretched out his hand to show everyone the way.

Then everyone entered the dyeing workshop, only to see several large dyeing vats, each of which was made of cement stone bricks and coated with several layers of waterproof paint.

And there are machines in the dye vat, and there are also workers stirring.

Others carefully remove the dyed cloth and leave it to dry.

There is also a white cloth placed in the dye vat. All the people are working in an orderly manner.

"What a bright color." Meng Xifan saw a person take out the cloth from the red dye vat, and was instantly impressed by the color.

When did Daqin ever have such a bright red color.

The factory director said: "This is a bright red cloth, which is used for celebrations. For example, getting married, celebrating the New Year and festivals and other major events.

The gentleman said that when he went out, he would hold a new wedding for the three ladies, and let everyone wear this red wedding dress for the wedding. ”

"Then I really want to see what the big red dress looks like?" Ying Zheng said with some expectation.

"Village Chief, this day will come soon." Meng Yi said.

Ying Zheng nodded heavily.

Gan Mao said at this time: "Village Chief, this textile workshop is really powerful, more powerful than the outside, even the most advanced water-powered loom.

We could have moved out and set up a weaving workshop all over the country, so that everybody could buy cheap cloth. ”

Jiang Lu said: "It can be moved, but it is inconvenient to build it all over the country. Once there is too much cloth, this will only backfire. ”

"Childe is right." Meng Yi said, "Mr. said that the market has its own rules, and there is a supply and demand relationship.

When there is more supply than demand, the goods will become cheaper, and when the supply is less than demand, the price of goods will become higher.

Therefore, this relationship between supply and demand must be well controlled, and there must not be too much or too little, otherwise it will be the people who will suffer. ”

"Ridiculous." "The cheaper the thing, the better it is for the people?" Will it cause the people to suffer? ”

Everyone nodded slightly, and they all agreed with Gan Mao's statement.

Ying Zheng asked, "Meng Yi, what did Qin An say?" ”

Meng Yi replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Sir once said that there was a merchant who raised a lot of cows, and he could supply milk to the people of the city every day.

But in the second year, because half of the people were no longer drinking milk, the merchant had half more milk a day.

But the merchant did not lower the price of milk, nor did he sell it to the poor at a low price.

The merchant did something that was indignant to the gods, and he poured out all the excess milk. ”

"It's too much, it's too much."

"How unreasonable, it's unreasonable."

"Bastard, where is he, I'm going to kill him."

……

Everyone was furious, trying to catch the merchant and break his body into pieces.

Although Yingzheng's face was full of anger, he didn't say a word.

When the people around him had almost vented, Ying Zheng spoke: "Say, why did you pour the milk?" ”

Meng Yi immediately replied: "Back to the village chief, because of the imbalance between supply and demand, because the businessman wants to make money, and there is also the idea of a person who buys milk."

Let's talk about the imbalance between supply and demand first, let's go to what I just said, once there is an imbalance between supply and demand, either the price is cheap, or the price is too high.

If it's just a little higher, or a little cheaper, then it's okay, if it's a lot, then the businessmen have no profit, no profit, why do businessmen go to great lengths to set up textile factories?

Then let's talk about the idea of buying a milkman.

I bought a bucket of milk for a silver coin, and all of a sudden, it became a bucket of 30 yuan, so wouldn't I have 70 yuan to be cheated for nothing? And I didn't spend so much money in vain before.

It's going to make me very unhappy, and half of the cow's city will be upset.

At that time, everyone would settle accounts with the businessman, and even if the government finally decided that the businessman did not have to compensate everyone, did everyone think that these people would buy his milk in the future?

Finally, when it comes to making money, merchants are all aiming to make money, they can donate money and food in times of famine, they can give some money to beggars, but they will never give milk to everyone for free, let alone lower the price.

Therefore, the easiest way to solve the problem of supply and demand is to reduce or increase production.

At present, there are only 20 million people in Daqin, even if each person makes three sets of clothes, how much cloth is needed?

Textile factories are opened all over the country, and in the end, there can only be an imbalance between supply and demand. ”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Although what you said is reasonable, it is shameful to waste food in vain." ”

"The village chief is wise, so we must strictly control the supply and demand relationship in the market, and it is best to achieve a balance between supply and demand." Meng Yi said.

"And how do you think this should be handled?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Just let the market deal with itself, although there will be waste, but it won't last too long, there are too many things, and the workshops without profits will be shut down by themselves."

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