Chapter 417, "Dao" and "Dao"
readx;? In fact, Gu Fan also tried to completely transform the big merchants, such as letting the merchants' workshop owners also let the slave owners take shares. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After all, one of them has money and technology, and the other has complete control over the labor force. If you join forces, you can naturally produce the effect that one plus one is greater than two, but the fact is that the strong collide, and everyone does not give in to each other.
Because the slave owners in this world have too much power, even if the slave owners claim to only invest in the shares and do not participate in the business, the slaves belong to them. With slaves, they naturally possessed technology. As soon as the technology arrives, of course, there is nothing "businessmen" do.
In the workshops of big merchants, technology is the foundation of their survival. Without this, they would not even be qualified to talk to the slave owners (princes).
In fact, in order to avoid the risk of technology leakage, most workshop owners with relatively strong capital will not hire local workers, which is why Gu Fan's captives are so sought-after.
And this is still open slave owners, and many more slave owners are not even willing to participate.
For them, the production of their vassal states is enough, and the land is the most stable. If the workers were hired, it would hinder the production of the land and harm the slave owners. But the merchants, especially the big ones, were in desperate need of a large number of workers to produce and at the same time refused to give up the profits of the workshops.
In the twenty-first century, the two sides will probably be able to achieve a compromise in their interests by uniting and squeezing the workers to death. But let's not forget what the price of later generations forcing Chinese peasants off the land was. And this world can't. In a slave society, slaves are also property, and it is impossible to complete the capital conversion of "this black blood is shed from head to toe".
However, Xiqi obviously did not belong to the diehard slave owners, and when they were studying Gu Fan, they really tried Gu Fan's governance methods in Xiqi, and this test shocked many people.
In simple terms. If you want to make a stool, you need to make planks and sticks first, then make the planks into the top, make the sticks into legs and bars, and finally assemble them.
If you ask a carpenter to do it, he needs to find the right tree, then cut down the tree and make it into wood, then process the wood into planks and sticks, and then make the stool bit by bit. In this way, of course, a carpenter can only make one stool at a time, and it takes a lot of time and energy. If you need to make a lot of stools, either be patient or find more carpenters.
However, if you use the assembly line method, the person who cuts the tree only cuts the tree, the person who processes the wood only needs to process the wood, the person who makes the planks and sticks, the person who makes the bench tops, legs and rails, and finally the person who is responsible for assembling it are all different people. They just need to concentrate on a part of their work, and they don't need to know much. In this way, as long as a person with a little training can complete the work, there is no need to labor a skilled worker, a carpenter, for this little thing.
Moreover, since each group of workers is only responsible for their own part, their skills will improve very quickly, and it will not be long before they make a stool no worse than that made by a carpenter.
Because they have always understood only one thing, the wages are naturally not as expensive as those of professional carpenters. So even if the production efficiency is a little lower, the total cost can be reduced a lot.
Not only that, but as workers become more skilled, productivity increases. In the end, their overall productivity is better than that of most carpenters, providing a greater profit for the workshop owner.
The most important thing is that the number of carpenters is limited, and it is impossible to train too many - it takes at least five years to train a skilled carpenter, and this is just to make stools and the like, and if something is more complicated, it may even take ten years.
In contrast, it takes a few months at most to train a group of skilled workers for assembly operations.
This means that the workshop can have a very high output that can definitely crush the technology they are using now. While others have only seen Gu Fan's war strength, Xiqi has seen even more.
After all, before Gu Fan crossed over, the contradictions between merchants and princes could not be reconciled, the so-called "cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents", and the so-called "as long as there is 300% profit, the capitalist is not even afraid of going to the gallows".
In the absence of the development of commerce, there was no way to stop the joint strangulation of the slave owners. Of course, this is because the more the "businessmen" develop, the deeper the contradictions, and the more the luck of the big businessmen declines.
Gu Fan came and it was different. The expedition to Dongyi and the demon exterminator clan brought a large number of laborers at once. As long as he regulates the labor disputes of Dashang, Dashang, a commodity processing enterprise, will be resurrected.
Of course, the luck of big businessmen is that the market has fluctuated and rebounded from the bottom.
It's a pity that such a great talent is working hard for Shang, and Xiqi Temple can't accommodate this big Buddha at all.
Therefore, Ji Chang was very concerned about Gu Fan's behavior, and wished that King Su would never let such a great talent return to Chaoge to preside over the overall situation.
Unfortunately, his wish was destined to fail, and the King of Xuan finally recalled Gu Fan to Chaoge.
At this time, Ji Chang didn't have much heart to make small moves, he was all anxious and full of bags.
Not to mention the introduction of the assembly line, the effect was just now, but it caused dissatisfaction among his subordinates. "You are the king of the way", how can you do this "unTaoist thing"!
Moreover, it is also like punishment. Mrs. Bohou has been pregnant for three years, and the child has not yet been born, and he is in a hurry.
Since he sent his eldest son Ji Kao to Chaoge ten years ago, this is still his second child, and now that there is such a situation, how can he bother with anything else?
Even if he saw this productivity with his own eyes, he couldn't make a big splash.
The reason why smart people are smart people is not because of how smart they are, but because they know how to be "Taoist".
Like the "First Emperor" who destroyed the Six Kingdoms and built the Great Wall, is it stupid?
If he is stupid, what are the six kingdoms that he will destroy?
There is also Emperor Wu who chased the Huns, and Yang Guang, who opened the canal......
All of them are eloquent and strategic.
But they are too eloquent, so they have nothing to do with "Youdao".
When Xi Bohou discovered the secret of Chaoge's great increase in national strength and luck rebound. It is even more impossible for him to take off his "Tao" hat.
Where he is inferior to Gu Fan, this is here. It is solidified by the tangible and intangible. "Youdao" gathered a lot of luck for him, and at the same time, how could he not be an accomplice to restrain his behavior?
"Chaoge City, finally back!"
On the other side, Gu Fan rode forward, looked at the majestic Chaoge City in the distance, and smiled softly and said slowly.
"Hehe, Dashuai, we must make some people look good this time!"
The demon marshal followed Gu Fan's side, and when he heard his words, he couldn't help but sneer, and the fierce light flashed in his eyes and said coldly: "Let them know and laugh at our fate!" (To be continued.) )
