Chapter 789: Explanation
Chapter 789 Explained
"No, if prices go up, it should make them higher." Gao Yue said.
Qin An smiled and said, "That's because of technology, Xianyang City has advanced technology, and the cost of making a piece of clothing is very low, and I have to earn one or two.
And a tael of silver may only be a man's salary for ten days.
But for the people of Daliang City, these two pieces of silver may be a month's or even three months' living expenses.
They would rather wear old clothes themselves than buy new ones, and those who could afford to spend a tael of silver on such expensive clothes, which were generally only afforded by a group of nobles and merchants.
As a result, many shops have no business.
Princess Gao Yue, I'm afraid you are about the same."
Gao Yue snorted coldly and said, "Since you know, what can you do to solve it?"
Qin An smiled: "Of course there is a way, do you see the people I brought?"
"If you see it, can they do it?" Gao Yue said disdainfully, there are many such people in their Yan Land, but she didn't see that they could change Yan Land.
More than a hundred people under Qin An immediately looked at Gao Yue with unkind eyes.
Gao Yue pouted at this and said, "You don't have to look at me like that, there are many people like you in the world."
Qin An raised his hand to calm down the more than a hundred people, and said, "Princess Gao Yue, you are right, workers, farmers, and businessmen are the most numerous in the world.
But they are also creating the wealth of the world and silently changing the world.
You couldn't see it before, and that's because you never paid attention to it, especially after the emergence of intellectuals, everyone focused on the court and never used it to change people's livelihood.
Therefore, after 2,000 years of development, China was still self-contained, and was finally humiliated by the Western powers.
Now that I'm here, I'm going to let the readers change the fate of China and classify the readers.
If you can use the words you can understand, it is to let the world enter the era of a hundred schools of thought.
Any useful knowledge, we should carry it forward.
For example, the science and technology of the Mo family, the farming technology of the farmer, the medical technology of the doctor, the technology of the Yin and Yang family to observe the universe, and so on.
These are all kinds of knowledge that can change the world. Of course, there are many more that I haven't said, just because they are useless.
Today, among the more than 100 people, there are people from the Mo family, farmers and merchants, cooks, textile workers, garment workers and so on.
The purpose of their visit to Yandi with me this time is to develop commerce and build workshops in your Yandi, so that the people of Yandi can have jobs to do and wages to pay.
Develop the breeding industry, raise cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc., as long as you can eat, and the growth period is particularly fast, poultry can be raised.
You can even raise sika deer, antlers are very nutritious, raise rabbits, rabbit hair is a good material to make scarves and other materials, Yandi is close to the north, this rabbit hair is soft, and the scarf is very comfortable.
As for the various workshops, that is to increase productivity and reduce costs.
I said that a piece of clothing in Xianyang City only costs one or two silver, because of the low cost and high productivity of the workshop.
One person can make ten or even a hundred pieces of clothing a day."
"It can't be." Gao Yue said, "It's already very impressive for a person to finish one piece a day, but it took my mother more than a month to complete a dress."
Qin An smiled: "That's because you use a needle and a thread, and I use a sewing machine, because you have completed all the steps of a dress by yourself.
And the workshop is to give the steps of a dress to the tailor, one person completes a step, a dress has ten steps, I do it by ten people.
For example, someone sews sleeves and gives them to the next one, and then the next one, until a piece of clothing is finished."
"Can I wear such clothes?" Gao Yue asked.
"Everyone here is wearing clothes made in the workshop, do you think you can wear them?" Qin An asked rhetorically.
Gao Yue was speechless for a moment, but she was unconvinced: "Even so, how can you make a hundred clothes a day?"
"As long as you hire enough people and have good skills, you can do it." Qin An said, "You'll know later.
But now is not the time to talk about this, when you get to Yandi, or on the way, you can ask what you want.
Now, I'll arrange it.
Merchants are out of the ranks."
Ten merchants immediately walked out of the crowd.
Qin An looked at the ten merchants and said, "I guess you have already seen it in Daliang, tell me your opinion."
One of the merchants stood up and said, "Mr. Huiyu, along the way, although Daliang City is not as rich as Xianyang City, it is already very rich, but there is indeed a lack of advanced technology here.
The villain felt that he could build some advanced technology in Xianyang City, such as steam looms, and open a large garment factory in Daliang City.
Crowd out all those handmade weaving workshops. Those who have money let them buy steam looms.
When we don't have the money, we buy them and call all the unemployed workers into our workshop."
"Aren't you afraid that they will steal from school?" Gao Yue asked.
Qin An pursed his lips, not bothering to answer Gao Yue.
The merchant replied, "Don't worry, even if he can steal school, will he have the money to buy equipment?"
"What if you have money?"
"If you have money, you don't need to steal from school, after buying equipment, we will teach us personally, and we don't need to learn at all." The merchant replied.
Gao Yue was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he was a villain in vain, no, they were lying to me, and then smiled: "You don't need to deceive me with these words, after you sell the equipment to them, how can you kindly hand over the technology to them."
Are you not afraid of competitors in business?"
The merchant shook his head and said, "I'm really not afraid, if we are the only one, then we will not lose our competitive spirit, and we will only decline in the future."
Only with competitors will we always have the motivation to make the workshop better and bigger.
In addition, there are so many people in Daqin, even if we don't have to sell the clothes to the people of Daliang after we make them, we can also sell them here to Xianyang City, or sell them to other places.
As long as the price is right and the style is good, everyone will come and buy it."
Qin An bowed his head and said, "You said very well, you have a competitive heart, are you willing to stay?"
"The villain willing." The merchant said.
"Okay. You stay. You are appointing a Mo family disciple, a peasant family disciple, and a total of ten people you need to stay with you.
Another 100,000 taels will be given as start-up capital, and according to your ideas, develop in Daliang City.
In addition, you have to start developing not only business, but also agriculture, education, especially aquaculture."
"The villain understands, thank you for cultivating it."
