I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 165, New Allies

Now Mayi produces 100 million pieces of wool cloth per month, and the ex-factory price has not dropped much. However, because there is such a large amount of wool cloth that has impacted the entire Dahan market, the price of wool cloth has already begun to drop in Luoyang City and other metropolises. It can only be sold for 2000 yuan, which is only the price of ordinary silk.

At this time, Zhen An discovered that it would be safer to open a textile factory directly in Mayi than to resell all kinds of goods in Mayi.

"Lei Gong will allow us to open a factory in Mayi?" Several people exclaimed in unison.Mayi's workshop is making a lot of money every day, and it is more stable than their business. Which businessman would not be envious.

But Xu Wei will not restrict them from opening workshops in Mayi. After all, he came out of the era of attracting investment. These businessmen want to invest in Mayi. Of course Xu Wei will welcome them. It can even be said that Xu Wei also helped them come to Malaysia. Yikai workshop, in Dahan, would find ways to restrict businessmen, but Xu Wei came from a commercial society, and not only did not restrict the primitive business environment of Dahan, but also tried to support them.

Therefore, the caravans who came to Mayi had a good feeling for the Tengjia Army. Although they collected a lot of taxes, they did not discriminate against these merchants, and even tried to help them, which was not felt in other places in Dahan.

It’s just that Xu Wei won’t give them the most advanced machinery in Mayi. Like the most advanced textile machine in Mayi, Xu Wei has no choice but to spread it in the hands of women in Mayi and there is no way to control it. Now there are more than [-] machines in Mayi. If you want to control it, you can't control it.

It was quickly imitated by outside businessmen, but their success was of little use, because the textile machines of this era were already very advanced, and what affected the world's cloth production was that the spinning technology could not keep up, and they did not have wool as a raw material. , None of these things, just a loom is useless at all!

However, Xu Wei has very strict restrictions on the new spinning machines in Mayi. The textile machines can be scattered in the homes of the entire Mayi tribe, but all the spinning machines are concentrated in the textile factories that do not exist. Ordinary women in Mayi need to All yarns are purchased from textile mills.Among them, especially the hydraulic spinning machine that can spin hundreds of spindles at a time, a group of soldiers were arranged to guard it closely. Those who were not members of Mayi could not even approach these factories.

Without these advanced machines, and the wages here in Mayi are generally more than double that of the big men, it is not cost-effective to start offensive and defensive operations in Mayi, so few businessmen will open factories in Mayi, at most only in Mayi Open a store to sell your own products.

Zhen An said with a smile: "Lei Gong has always allowed us to open a workshop in Mayi, but he doesn't trust us. We are not allowed to touch the most advanced machinery in Mayi. Without these advanced machines, we can still make money in Mayi. There is no money, so I asked everyone to place their family business in Mayi, so that everyone can become their own people, and Lei Gong will trust us!"

Tian Zhong hesitated and said: "If Lord Lei rebels, he will be wiped out by the court sooner or later. We put our family business here, what will happen if the court army comes to Mayi?"

Zhen An said with a smile: "It's a gamble. No one knows better than us how to make money from woolen cloth. I estimated that it only takes two years to set up a textile factory to pay back the cost, and the rest of the time is earned." , we are now betting on whether Lei Gong can continue to persist for more than three years, not to mention the relationship behind us, even if the court really kills Lei Gong, can it still rob our factory? The only thing I am worried about now is Lei Gong Do not trust us and refuse to give us the most advanced machinery!"

Xian Yuying shook his head and said, "I'm just a manager, where the big family relocation can be decided! Besides, the textile factory is Lei Gong's gold mine, will he allow us to dig it?"

The others also shook their heads. Don't look at them as the stewards of the powerful and noble families. They are enviable from the outside, but they don't have much status in the family.And they are not optimistic, Lei Gong will allow them to build a textile factory here, if they themselves will not let people dig gold in their own gold mines.

Only Zhen An is the most free here. He has made a lot of money for the Zhen family over the years. In addition, the Zhen family is also scruples about the connection with Lei Gong, so Zhen An and the Zhen family are separated. The Zhen family is in Zhen An's business Among them, the majority of the shares belonged to the Zhen family, and Zhen An was only a small shareholder.

But becoming a small boss is enough for Zhen An to be excited, and the motivation for working for himself is different. Now he doesn't worry about his relationship with Lei Gong at all, but wants to use this relationship to make more money!

Zhen An said with a smile: "I think Lei Gong is a person who does big things, and he won't be so stingy. As long as we find a way to gain Lei Gong's trust, not to mention the textile factory, even the steel factory will allow us to build it. It depends on our ability. I don't have the courage anymore.

So this time is our chance, as long as we can help Lei Gongqu Shuai in this war against the Huns, Lei Gongqu Shuai will not forget us if we want to come, we will make some small requests at that time, if we want to come Lei Gongqu Shuai Will not refuse!Our Zhen family has been doing business in Hexi County for many years and is familiar with geography. We think we can do Lei Gong Qu Shuai to crusade against the Huns! "

What Zhen An said made everyone interested. If Lei Gong allowed them to open a textile factory, they would make a lot of money!
"I brought 3000 shi of grain, which happened to be at the Pianguan Pass. I think Lei Gongqu Shuai will definitely be able to use it!"

"I brought 500 pieces of cowhide, I think Lei Gongqu Shuai will definitely be able to use them!"

Soon, this was the material that the merchants said they could contribute one by one.

Zhen An found Xu Wei after counting the materials, "Knowing that Qu Shuai is going to deal with the Huns, those of us in the Mayi Chamber of Commerce support Qu Shuai!"

Xu Wei picked up the list of materials in Zhen An's hands, and found that there were 8 shi of grain alone, as well as various strategic materials such as beef tendon and cowhide.The most important of these gifts is a map of Hexi County.

In this era, marching and fighting all depends on the map. There is a kind of precise map that can save a lot of things, so there are many records in the history books. It can be regarded as a strategic material.

Xu Wei looked at Zhen An and said, "Thank you for your support to the Tengjia Army. I will buy these materials at market prices! I will remember your help to the Tengjia Army!"

Zhen An said anxiously: "Didn't Qu Shuai look down on us! He said that he would donate to Qu Shuai and then collect the money. This is not to make us laugh at us!"

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Zhen An and we are old friends, I'll accept your gift, but can you tell me the truth about what you want? Otherwise, I won't be rewarded for nothing!"

Zhen An and Xu Wei have known each other for three years, and it is good to know the truth at this time, there are too many circles around, Lei Gong can't understand!
So he said: "We want to open a textile factory in Mayi and ask Qu Shuai to do it!"

Xu Wei smiled and said: "Textile factory! This is no problem. I wish more people would come to Mayi to set up textile factories to solve the employment problem of women in Mayi! You must know that the textile industry in Mayi was growing so fast at the beginning, and there is still Thanks to the textile machines you brought. Now you want to start a textile factory, I fully support it. After the war is over, I will let the wood factory in Mayi give you the latest textile machines! At the same time, let the engineering team in Mayi Build a factory building for you, and ensure that you can quickly build a textile factory!"

Zhen An continued: "We can get the spinning machines ourselves, but what we lack is the spinning machines. Please ask Qu Shuai to sell us some spinning machines. We are willing to pay a high price!"

Xu Wei's face darkened and he said: "The spinning machine is our Mayi's secret!"

Zhen An said: "We are willing to keep Mayi's secret, if Qu Shuai can't trust me, I am willing to let my family come to live in Mayi!"

Xu Wei shook his head and said: "Although I can trust the shopkeeper, I may not trust other people. Now the textile factory in Mayi can earn billions of dollars a year, relying on the spinning machine in Mayi. If it is cracked by others Spinning machines, other people set up textile factories in Xiliang and Youzhou, and this would be a problem for tigers."

Xu Wei also knows that the hydraulic spinning machine will not last long, and someone may even imitate it now. There is no way. The technology of the first industrial revolution is really not difficult, and many of them are even a matter of thinking. Unexpectedly, even if there is no real object, it can be imitated quickly if you know the principle. This is not a lithography machine, so how difficult it can be.

But he has to guard against it. If he can guard for one more year, Ma Yi can earn billions more, and if he guards for 10 years, he can earn tens of billions more!Even after the establishment of Mayi's textile center status, even if Xiliang or Youzhou established a textile factory, it could not develop in Mayi. After all, the hundreds of thousands of textile machines in Mayi have become a cluster effect, plus Xu Wei's assembly line With this system, textile mills in other places should not be able to do so in Mayi.

Of course, Xu Wei has another way to drive them all to extinction, which is to occupy the entire grassland. Your woolen cloth doesn't even have wool, so what's the use of just having a loom.

Directly cutting off other people's raw materials is the only way to completely solve the development of other textile factories, but it is very difficult. Even Xu Wei now only occupies a small part of the entire desert.

But in the future, it might not be possible. As long as industrialization starts, the search for raw material markets and commodity sites will start, even the industrial zone built by Xu Wei himself is the same.When he distributes the most, it is fairer, but Mayi will still shout out to occupy the desert after all, just like many books, once the wheel of history turns, it will not stop.

Knowing Xu Wei's attitude, Zhen An sighed helplessly, it really didn't work!

But Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "But it's not that there is no workaround. Shopkeeper, your textile factory can continue to open in Mayi. The problem of yarn is provided by us in Mayi. You only need to weave the yarn into cloth. !"

Zhen An thought about it, and it seemed that this was the best way!So he nodded in agreement.

Xu Wei looked at Zhen An who was leaving and said thoughtfully: "Is this the budding of the bourgeoisie? We should take good care of this Zhen An in the future!"

Xu Wei is not the prince of this world with the mentality of conquering the world. He plays differently. He wants to smash the old world and bring the whole big man into the industrial age, so his enemy is the feudal class represented by the powerful and powerful.

Farmers, workers and businessmen are his allies. Because of his background, Xu Wei has always trained workers and relied on farmers.But the appearance of Zhen An and the others today made Xu Wei discover another ally of his, but this ally is a bit dangerous, and if he is not optimistic, he will eat people!

But smashing this old world is really indispensable for businessmen, Xu Wei remembered an online novel he read, and there is a passage in it that is very classic.The naked money relationship is an advanced and fair relationship, because it uses money to measure all relationships in the world, and everyone is equal before money.

It swept away like an iron broom, all kinds of feudal inequality and unfair system!Even the feudal thoughts in the human brain can be cleaned, but if you get over the broom, it will be impossible to clean the house, and the feudal system will eventually be restored.

Originally, Xu Wei didn't have a deep understanding of the subject, and felt that although what he said was reasonable, it was a bit too extreme. After all, in Xu Wei's era, naked money relations were almost synonymous with derogatory terms.Moreover, Xu Wei didn't feel any feudal oppression in the New Heaven, but the oppression of the naked money relationship, and his feelings were very deep!

But after coming to this era, he has a deep understanding. In this era, there is no need to talk about the naked money relationship, but when it comes to the family relationship, you will not be reborn, you cannot be reincarnated into a powerful family, you cannot be reincarnated into a royal family Among them, if you can't even be reborn into a powerful family, then your tragic fate in this life has already been doomed, and you are doomed to be exhausted to death.

What an unequal system this is. If you have not been reincarnated into a noble family or a powerful family, your tragic ending in this life is already doomed. One reincarnation will determine the fate of ninety-nine percent of people in this world being oppressed.

Like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, they can become high-ranking officials with 20 shi at the age of 2000. After more than ten years of accumulation, with the help of their family's former disciples, they can become one of the three princes of the great Han even if they don't have much talent. Let their family have four generations and three males, and become five generations and three males.Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's official career starting point is the end point of official career for many tycoons.Ordinary people have no possibility of being an official at all.

Compared with the naked money relationship, the family relationship is simply ignorant, cruel and cold-blooded, it is the biggest evil in this world!

At this time, the solidification of the Dahan class is already very serious, and the disciples of Sangong can become Sangong in the future, which has nothing to do with their personal efforts.

The prefect's disciples can also become prefects in the future, even if they don't work hard, because they don't have to do things, and their former disciples can help them.

The son of the county magistrate is also the county magistrate, no matter how hard he tries, it is useless, and it is impossible to become a prefect.

Let’s take Liu Bei as an example here. He participated in the pacification of the Yellow Turban Uprising, but he could only get the official position of a county lieutenant. Even if he is not dismissed, it doesn’t matter. Become a county magistrate, but it will not break through to the county magistrate level to become a prefect.After all, there are quite a few sons of the prefect. Where did Liu Bei get the post of prefect, they can't win it themselves!Liu Bei has to thank the era at the end of Han Dynasty, which made him emperor!
Of course, this kind of family relationship still limits the high-level people. For example, Yuan Shu was not satisfied with only being a Sangong. He wanted to become the emperor, so he attacked the palace, took the lead in rebelling against the big man, and finally became the emperor. It's so wonderful, he broke away from his own class position, even his own people opposed him, and finally he was beaten to death by Cao Cao and a group of princes.
