I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 151 Luckily!This Guo Erlang is not an enemy!
Manager Zhu insulted him as usual, Guo Yi didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but today he is in a good mood, if he didn't say anything to him, he would feel sorry for the bright sun.

"If you have the ability to scold me, if you have the ability, don't let me advise the restaurant!"

bad!
Forget about this... Old Zhu suddenly lost his temper, and smiled charmingly: "Erlang, your outfit today is quite good! A handsome and handsome young man, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind!"

Good guy!
The old face-changing actor!

It's a pity that you don't perform face-changing in Sichuan opera, you don't even need to wear facial makeup...

Before Guo Yi replied, His Royal Highness King Chu turned his head, looked at him and asked, "Erlang, is this hydraulic loom really as convenient and fast as you said?"

"Whether it's true or not, it will be revealed soon! And, no matter what, those unsalable hemp must be dealt with, right?"

He was right, those unsalable hemp silks had to be dealt with no matter what.That is a matter of livelihood for tens of millions of people.

After all, not only Dongbai Village is unsalable, but also many other places.Because, this is caused by the environment.

The Xinzhou Uprising had not been resolved for a long time, and there was a severe drought on Kuizhou Road and Jinghu South Road, which brought about a skyrocketing increase in food prices, which rose in more than half of the Zhou Dynasty.Once the price of food soars, the people's purchasing power for other things will inevitably decline.

Because food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four major needs of life.Food, on the other hand, comes first.People don't think about anything else until their stomachs are full.For example, dress better, live better, whether to rent a mule cart to go to a certain place...

But if you can't even guarantee to fill your stomach, then everything else is all nonsense.

Therefore, the soaring price of food has brought a series of negative reactions.And the fabric of the clothes is the first to bear the brunt.

It's okay not to wear new clothes, but not to eat.

Guo Yi systematically explained to the King of Chu, and also explained clearly the joint relationship.

After listening carefully, the King of Chu frowned slightly and said, "As you said, hemp silk is unsalable, and cloth is also unsalable, so why do you still build this hydraulic loom?"

His meaning is obvious, the cloth cannot be sold, so why do you still weave?

Hearing this question, Guo Yi smiled very brightly, and explained to him again: "The function of the government is not only to guard one side, but also to manage the people. At the same time, it also needs to balance prices.

It's like regular warehouses in various places. When the weather is good and the grain is harvested, the price of grain will fall accordingly.

But the cheapness of the grain hurts the peasants!Ever since, there is this normal open position.

The meaning of Changping warehouse is that when the price of grain is low, the government will take action to buy grain, thereby raising the price of grain.

When the famine comes, the Changping warehouse will be opened, and the government will open the warehouse to release grain and lower the price of grain.

Of course, the same should be true for production and living materials like hemp silk! "

His Royal Highness the King of Chu couldn't help nodding deeply when he heard the words. He naturally understood the idea of ​​Chang Pingcang, but it was the first time he heard that other things should be carried out in this way.

"Erlang's meaning, I understand! But now we have purchased so much hemp silk, and all of them have to be woven into cloth, so what are you going to do with the cloth?" King Chu looked at him with frowning, waiting for him response.

According to him, there is nothing wrong with buying hemp silk that is unsalable in the hands of the people.However, a large amount of money was invested in the acquisition of these hemp silks.

And if these funds cannot be operated, they will accumulate more and more, resulting in a break in the capital chain.The king of Chu understood these relatively simple truths.

Guo Yi couldn't help being very pleased to see him thinking so far.I can't always fight alone like this, it's best to have a half helper.

With this in mind, he thought about it and responded: "There are two ways to deal with it. First, store up the woven linen to wait for the recovery of people's purchasing power.

Second, a large number of fast and cheap shipments are used to impact the entire fabric market.Although we consume a lot of money when we buy hemp silk.

But for the entire textile industry, manual costs are the most expensive. "

The manual fee is the most expensive?

What solution?

King Chu didn't understand, but Guanshi Zhu came over at the right time and explained it to him in a low voice.

Oh!I see.

Because the green hemp and ramie that produce hemp silk grow in many places on Jinghu North Road, and they are still harvested twice a year, and even three times a year.

The most important thing is that these green hemp and ramie do not need special management like other food crops, and most of them are left to grow freely.

This virtually reduces a lot of time and resources.

However, after harvesting green hemp and ramie, it takes a lot of labor to make hemp silk.

Especially weaving hemp silk into cloth is more cumbersome and time-consuming.

Therefore, compared with these raw materials, labor costs are the most expensive.

And the reason why those textile machines are constantly updated from generation to generation is to reduce the time-consuming labor.

For example, the epoch-making pinnacle work they are making in front of them, the hydraulic loom.

A hydraulic loom can support forty female workers.Its horror can be imagined!

After listening to Guanshi Zhu's explanation, the King of Chu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Then how does Erlang want to impact the entire fabric market?"

He is very self-aware and asks when he doesn't understand.

"Because we use hydraulic looms, not only the weaving speed is fast, but also the labor cost is greatly reduced. Therefore, even if our cloth price is [-]% lower than the market, we can guarantee that we will not lose money!
That being the case, then we will ship quickly and in large quantities at a price that is [-]% lower than the market.

In this way, the living space of other fabric lines will be greatly squeezed.

Moreover, since ancient times, food and clothing have not been separated.This means that both food and cloth will be in the hands of those aristocratic families at the same time.

And at this time, once a large amount of cheap cloth hits the market, they either eat all of them, or let us hit, there is no third choice! "

When King Chu heard this, a flash of spiritual light flashed quickly, as if he had thought of something, but it was a little vague.

So anxiously urged him to speak quickly.

Guo Yi smiled very ripplingly, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch, and continued: "If they choose to eat, we will keep releasing goods. In this way, our large shipments will make up for the lack of cheap prices. And those people who produce hemp silk will continue to get benefits.

Moreover, if things go on like this, their money will definitely be tight.At that time, there will be two choices. One is to choose to give up eating up and let us occupy the fabric market.

Second, sell other things at a low price to obtain silver coins.For example, food!
It is really a plan to kill three birds with one stone! "

The king of Chu was already dumbfounded, but there is still such an operation?

There is actually another way to lower food prices...

These fabrics are not only sold to the common people, but most of them are sold to other fabric shops.

But Guanshi Zhu couldn't help shivering.

Sure enough, he deserves to be Zhinian and many monsters Guo Erlang!
Fortunately, this is not the enemy!

Otherwise, I don't even know how to die!
