"Hey yo~hey yo~"
The huge blast furnace was emitting billowing smoke. Next to the blast furnace, the workers of the Miyun Iron Works were shirtless and working enthusiastically, shouting neat chants and sweating profusely.
If it weren¡¯t for the melon-eaters watching the fun from further away wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, it would really make people think it¡¯s a hot summer day.
Truck after truck of iron ore, limestone, coke, and dolomite are continuously poured into the blast furnace from the feed port at the top, and the huge blower next to it is whirred by dozens of strong men.
"Tsk tsk, it looks a bit like it, but I don't know how much steel can be produced from this furnace."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the lively scene in front of him, and his whole person became energetic. He liked this kind of thing the most. Of course, as long as it was not related to learning to be an emperor, he was very interested.
"Let's go back and have a good meal. We'll find out in the afternoon."
Liu Jin turned around and walked towards his place of residence. Because it was the first furnace, he needed some time to wait slowly.
"Let's go, let's go, I'm so hungry."
Zhu Houzhao touched his belly and said.
"You go and eat. I can't eat. I can't eat until I see the first furnace of steel come out. This is all piled up with money."
The British Duke Zhang Mao shook his head, looking a little anxious.
The blast furnace in front of him, to use his words, was really piled up with silver. It cost more than 100,000 taels of silver to build. If he hadn't believed in Liu Jin, he would really be reluctant to spend money like this.
"Brother Xu, let's go, let's have a good meal, and we can turn on the stove in the afternoon."
Liu Jin grabbed Xu Guangzuo and Zhu Houzhao, and the three of them went to have a big dinner together, arm in arm.
"Only Zhang Mao and Huang Jinquan are left here. Zhang Mao, a traditional feudal noble, has made a lot of money with Liu Jin, but it is still difficult for him to adapt to this industrialized operation model.
With such a large-scale investment and the recruitment of so many people, how will the funds be managed?
How should this iron factory be managed?
If too many products are produced, how will they be sold?
At this time, Zhang Mao fell into such a confusion. Of course, this was not just Zhang Mao. As Liu Jin, a butterfly, flapped his little wings, he brought too many things to this era. great influence.
Many coal workshops, cement plants, etc. have been established in Tianjin and Beijing. As the business is getting better and better, the scale is also getting larger and larger. Naturally, there are problems with corporate management, product sales, etc. Cost control, etc.
If you just rely on traditional and inherent methods to operate and manage, it will be difficult to adapt to the increasingly large scale of the enterprise, so more and more people are thinking about management and sales.
After all, most traditional workshops are mainly manual and have limited scale. It is considered very good to be able to employ dozens of people. However, cement factories and coal plants, even if they are labor-intensive industries, only need to hire at least a few people. Hundreds of people.
How to manage more people, how to save costs and produce more products as much as possible are all testing emerging capitalists like Zhang Mao.
Yes, although Zhang Mao was a great aristocrat in the feudal era, as Liu Jin made money and fortune, he has gradually transformed from a traditional feudal aristocrat to an emerging capitalist.
In the past, the British government's main financial income came from rent collection from the huge land under its command. All the revenue collected from this rent collection was grain. Although the amount of grain was very large, it was actually not much when converted into silver. .
In addition to renting, there is also a small amount of income from store operations, business, and mining. This part of the income is not large and the proportion is not high.
The calculated income of the British government family may be only tens of thousands of taels if converted into silver. Of course, tens of thousands of taels of silver is nothing more than an astronomical figure to ordinary people, but compared with the salt merchants, tea merchants, and grain merchants in the Jiangnan area. Wait, it's nothing at all.
The wealth of people like Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu, and Xu Guangzuo is actually accumulated by their ancestors from generation to generation. This is true for every generation. Therefore, whether they are princes, nobles, gentry, landlords, or ordinary people, as long as they have money, first The first thing is to find ways to purchase land, which in turn leads to the gradual concentration of land, and ultimately the change of dynasties.
But it¡¯s different now, because withp; Zhang Mao, Xu Guangzuo, Huang Jinquan, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, watching the torrent continuously surging out in front of them, flowing along the passage that had been paved long ago.
Because there is no large-scale lifting equipment, the molten iron is released from the furnace. Liu Jin also specially laid a very long water channel. The specifications of these water channels are different. Some are used to make steel bars in one step, and some are used to make steel bars in one go. The standard iron ore of this era, and some were long iron plates, all kinds of things.
The molten iron was poured into it. While the dazzling white molten iron was flowing, a large number of sparks were beating continuously. At the same time, there were also balls of molten iron splashing out, burning with blazing flames.
"How much iron is in this furnace?"
Some people stared at the crimson torrent with their eyes wide open, and their minds were filled with white flowers, because in their field of vision, the huge water outlet area at the water outlet was completely covered by rolling molten iron, as if it were a vast sea. A blazing world. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
