Sihai System has developed over the past few years, and Sun Zheng has established many related industries with advanced technologies in various places.
After contacting Qin Hong, I found that the old man is a capable person and is willing to do practical things. Taking advantage of the old man's opportunity to build Guyuan into the core of the three sides, Sun Zheng also set up his advance base in Xiaohewan.
Originally I just wanted to set up a barracks and training base, but happened to find a small coal mine belt nearby. After coking by local methods, the coke obtained can meet daily use.
So Sun Zheng used various means of coercion, bribery and inducement to purchase and consolidate several nearby small iron mines. A blast furnace was built on site to smelt pig iron, and then the pig iron was sent to Xiaohewan for further processing.
Gu Luohan and others were also masters of folk blacksmiths that Sun Zheng found through Qin Hong's information.
Recruiting this group of people is very simple, give money to those who are in need of money, give skills to those who like technology, and directly charge them with crimes if they don¡¯t need anything. Get the people first and then talk about it.
The most proud thing in Gu Luohan¡¯s life is the ancestral technology. A bearing can make him kneel down, and he packs up his clothes and reports without even mentioning the money.
Qin Hong and others followed Sun Zheng into the assembly room and saw various machines lined up. Each craftsman was responsible for a process. A bare knife body turned into a knife when walking from one end to the other. Beautifully decorated standard sword.
Gu Luohan was very proud: "My ancestor also got a few pages of the secrets of Momen. It mentioned that during the Warring States Period, the craftsmen of the Qin State made utensils like running water. Unexpectedly, Sun Qianhu actually got the true biography! I made a rough estimate, as long as the materials are used If you can provide me with this kind of hundred-refined riding sword, I guarantee that it will be no less than 3,000 swords per month!"
Cheng Minzheng felt very subversive: "How many people will need to train and hone it if it is so fast?"
Gu Luohan turned his head and did not find Sun Zheng. He breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "The refining process is not my responsibility. But I heard that they did not rely on human power, but some kind of pot machine. It¡¯s a bit like a hydraulic ram, but it¡¯s stronger and faster.¡±
"Haven't you seen it before?"
"There are regulations here. Each work section is only responsible for its own tasks. You are not allowed to go to work without any reason, otherwise the whole family will be held accountable. The younger one can't afford to take this risk. Besides, I really want to see it, but the younger one can't find it, and he doesn't even know. Where is the previous section!"
Qin Hong nodded: "That's right! This kind of secret technique is horrifying. If someone with an intention to find out the root of it, I'm afraid it will be a big disaster."
At this time, Sun Zheng came in a hurry with several craftsmen with an excited look on his face.
The craftsmen worked together to install a pointed shuttle on the tripod. Someone held a cow next to him, set up the rope, and leveled the tripod.
"Ouch! It turns out to be a plow!"
The two craftsmen cooperated with each other, one holding the ox and the other holding the plow. The flat ground was easily cut and a deep furrow was drawn.
Hiss! Qin Hong is an expert in farming and can be said to be very familiar with this thing. Just by looking at it, you can understand the difference.
"This plow is so labor-saving! No wonder even that boy is excited. This thing is indeed a useful tool for farming. Oh, I have to bear him another big favor"
Sun Zheng tried the plowshare and turned to look at Qin Hong: "What do you think, Commander Qin?"
The old man touched his beard: "How much is it worth?"
"One tael of silver is worth the price!"
"One tael of silver? Don't think I don't know how to count. A plowshare uses less than two kilograms of iron and is worth only sixty cents. The plow body uses this little wood for less than ten cents. Calculated in this way, the cost is one hundred cents. Wen Dingtian. Do you have the nerve to ask me for a tael of silver? You might as well go and grab it!"
"Look at what you said, it's obviously better than robbing! It's good to calculate the cost, but my craftsmen's salary is high! Also, this technology is a unique secret, and others can't learn it. You use other people's plows. It's only a hundred cents, heavy and labor-intensive, and it won't take more than a year and a half to break when it hits a stone or brick. But this one in my house is different. It not only saves effort and is easy to use, but also doesn't worry about damage."
"Why are you bragging! Even a hundred-refined sword will break."
"I'm not saying it will never break. What I mean is that we guarantee a service life of at least five years! Within five years, no matter what problems you encounter, whether it is broken by a stone, kicked by a cow in a rage, or broken on purpose because you can't think of it. If it is broken, no matter how it is broken, as long as the body is still intact, we will be responsible for replacing it with a new one! The most powerful thing is, if it breaks after five years, it is not within the warranty period. We can provide a trade-in service for only 100 If you pay the handling fee, you can still get a new one!¡±
"Huh? From what you said, it seems like it's not that expensive anymore How many planes can be built before spring?"
"how much do you need?"
"The more, the merrier! At least ten thousand!"
"No problem, I won't delay your business. I will deliver it to the Yamen before spring!"
¡°It¡¯s refreshing! Cash on delivery, the food is ready to go!¡±
"Qin Shuai is so open and bright! It's a pleasure to do business with you."
"How much is the value of spending money on civil affairs? When it comes to spending money, it is still on military matters. I ask you, is it possible to guarantee three thousand swords a month for that hundred-refined cavalry sword?"
"Yes." Sun Zheng said deliberately. If he wasn't afraid of scaring you idiots and really suppressed production at full speed, ten thousand a month would be trivial.
"How much do you want this knife? Let's agree first. The Xiuchun knife is only three taels of silver per handle, so don't ask for an exorbitant price."
"Wow, you really know how to do business. Three taels of silver is the official price, five taels a handle, I'll buy as much as you have, how about it?"
The old man didn¡¯t answer: ¡°Then tell me the real price!¡±
Sun Zheng scratched his brows: "We are all members of my family, and I don't see you often. I will give you ten taels of silver per hand, and the production capacity of three thousand pieces per month, how about I give it all to you?"
"You still want to sell it to someone else?" Qin Hong's beard trembled angrily: "This is your Holy Family Zhenglong. If someone else dares to bargain with me? I'll lend him some courage! Five taels!"
"Five taels? You are robbing them openly! Don't these craftsmen want to eat? The iron materials have to be transported with great difficulty, and there are bandits and horse bandits to worry about on the way Nine taels, this is the cost price!"
"How can a little slicker like you tell the truth? You said the cost was nine taels, at most four and a half taels! I have given you enough profit, don't be dissatisfied six taels!"
"My family has a big business, and many people have their mouths open to eat. We can't let everyone work hungry The price is seven taels!"
"Then seven taels! Three thousand will be delivered before New Year's Eve, and after the new year, three thousand per month!"
The two high-fived and completed the agreement.
Sun Zheng asked in a low voice: "I have an idea regarding military pay"
The old man was startled: "You don't have to come here! I've touched my side several times. The reason why I'm able to convince everyone is that I'm never sloppy in terms of food and pay. This idea must never be taken, otherwise the morale of the army will be weakened, and I will never be able to redeem myself!"
Sun Zheng was speechless: "Where did you think you were going? You want to make money but you can't get it, why do you want to take food from the mouths of those Kuhaha? Look at this!"
A delicate silver coin was handed to the old man. The old man carefully looked at the patterns on both sides. There is an exquisite Great Wall pattern embossed on the front. Surrounding the Great Wall are the words "The military pay treasury of the three sides is one tael of silver" written in block letters. On the other side, there is an octagonal pattern with the words "Sihai Bank undertook the production in the 14th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty" written around it. There are zigzag patterns around the edges, which is a small means to prevent scratches.
He weighed it with his hands, thought for a moment, then reached to his mouth and tried to bite it with his teeth.
Sun Zheng smiled and said: "This is not a thousand-foot silver, but a nine-two-five silver! It's not that I don't want to give it up. The nine-two-five silver is of the best quality, not easy to wear and tear, and cannot be easily destroyed. Each piece weighs one tael, so there is no need to weigh and cut it. twist."
Pick it up, put it to your lips and blow it gently, you will hear a bright buzzing sound, which is fascinating.
The old man thought for a moment: "If that's the case, it doesn't matter if I let you make a few cents of fire and use it up."
Sun Zheng shook his head: "I don't care about earning that much. In fact, the value of such a silver coin is slightly more than one tael of pure silver. It requires a very large amount to even out the cost. Besides, if others are unwilling to use it, they can always use it. Bring it to any store in the world and exchange it for pure silver!"
"Huh?" The old man was surprised: "Then what are you planning?"
"Convenient! Think about it, if the entire Ming Dynasty uses my silver coins, my escort agency and bank can completely save the step of transshipment. You transport 10,000 taels of silver from Bashu to Beijing, and the Bashu bank only issues a bill of exchange. Just go to the bank in Beijing to withdraw it. How much manpower and material resources can be saved in this process? These will all be my profits!"
Well? The old man figured out the key immediately: "At the end of that year, let the Ministry of Revenue deliver this batch of reward silver from the capital, and I will collect the silver coins from you!"
"Wow! You always react quickly enough. I said it was Huitong in the future. We haven't deposited any money here yet. We still have to start the escort and delivery all over again."
"Are you willing?"
"Sure! Who calls you the commander-in-chief? I still expect you to promote it in the army first, so it's up to you!"
"I would like to ask, has His Majesty granted you the right to mint coins?"
"What kind of minting power does this require? The dynasty only forbids the private casting of copper coins, and silver coins can be minted at will. I have asked, and no one cares about this matter." Yes, that's right, the Ming Dynasty was so magical. It is a capital crime to mint copper coins privately, and it is also a capital crime to use lead to make fake silver. But you can mint silver money as you like. As long as you have the silver, you can make it into whatever you like. Anyway, you still have to weigh it when trading.
The old man didn¡¯t know this either, so he turned to look at Cheng Minzheng.
Cheng Minzheng thought for a moment: "Gold and silver, regardless of size, can be exchanged for money. When used to mint coins, the gain outweighs the loss. Except for the occasional minting of some by the inner government as a reward, who would do such a thankless thing?"
The old man nodded and advised Sun Zheng: "Although there is no precedent, if you go on your own without an order, it will inevitably be true. It is better to ask for a warrant from His Majesty."
It is indeed a mature idea, you have to listen, the business belongs to the prince anyway, it is just a procedure that no one cares about, there is no pressure.
