Win the Ding 1617

() Leading the way parties have existed in ancient and modern China and abroad, the key is to see what role he has played.

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Peilin found out that it was already noon.

After a hasty lunch, I talked with a few principals about the things that should be done this day, and took a short rest, "My lord, the agreed guests of Jiangnan Fang's family are already waiting in the reception room."

At the door, Cheng Qiguan reminded him of the person he was going to meet next according to today's schedule.

Pei Lin pondered for a moment, "Well, you arrange someone to talk to the shopkeepers of the Hanyuan Company, and ask them to have tea and talk with the shopkeepers of the Fang family first, and I will go here in a while. In addition, you go Invite the stewards Niu Qiandao and Bao Zhongchen, and Mr. Ling Zheng. I have something to talk to them about."

Looking at the inconspicuous places on Ling Zheng's clothes, the small holes scalded by molten steel, and the slight smoldering color on his face, Li Peilin knew that the manager of the iron smelting workshop in front of him must be watching those people on the spot again. The guys are making iron and steel in one pot.

"Ling Gong," he imitated Li Shouhan's address, although he didn't understand why Shouhan gave these craftsmen such courtesy, no matter in terms of political status or economic benefits, they were several times higher than the craftsmen in the interior, like Ling Just like this kind of person, if you see him in the mainland, you would kneel and kowtow to see him, but now he is on the same level.

After all, he knew very well in his heart that half of Shou Han's status, power, army and wealth were related to these craftsmen. In his mind, he would rather lose the territory of a prefecture or county than Lose these artisans.

"Now you don't need to do everything yourself. For some things, just arrange the people below to do it."

"My lord, there is no way. Now the area under the general's jurisdiction is as large as every day, and the population is more than every day. There is still war in the front, and a large number of farmers are pouring in behind. The weapons in the front, the farm tools in the back, and the pot Shovels, kitchen knives, repairing and building houses, and the monthly construction of ships in the dock is like a spark, and steel and iron are used everywhere. If you don’t keep an eye on it, how can you support it?”

Li Peilin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, that's all!Shou Han is at least a generation of heroes.Being able to make the craftsmen think of him together, even what he didn't think of, these craftsmen have thought of it, so how can it not be a career if it is so powerful?

"That's right! From the beginning of the new year to the end of last month, that is, the few days when Ye Qi crossed the south of the Yangtze River, according to the inventory of the wharf and several gates, there were more than 3 households and more than 5 settlers who came to our South Middle School. The farm tools of these people, as well as the various fortresses in Jiangnan and Xishan (the so-called Xishan refers to the territory of the Lao Kingdom. It is surrounded by mountains.) The weapons they need depend on everyone in the iron workshop.”

"Now my lord has sent a letter from Hoi An's former enemy, asking me to turn the so-called crucible steelmaking we are currently using into a blast furnace steelmaking. I wonder what Ling Gong's opinion is?"

"Well, when ri started to build an iron workshop, the lord mentioned that he wanted to follow the example of a mountain town and build a blast furnace to smelt iron. However, because ri lacked money, food and labor at that time, he had to change the chicken coop furnace into a crucible furnace. It is used to smelt iron and steel. However, the lord proposed to let me try it later and cast steel cannons. In this way, the crucible will be even more useless. So,..."

"So, according to what my lord said, the blast furnace must be built! I don't know what else is missing?"

"Returning to Mr. Chang Shi, what was lacking in building a blast furnace was money, food, and labor. Now it is naturally the same. According to the master's intention, a blast furnace should be built with steel plates. The refractory bricks are built in a vertical cylindrical shape. From charging, air supply, slag discharge to iron and steel tapping, water drainage and other materials are required to assist, and neither manpower nor animal power can do it. Moreover, because the furnace has a large capacity , There is a lot of fuel, so coke must be used to supply it, and coke with less ash and low carbon toxicity must be used.”

These words are too technical and professional, and Li Peilin is a little confused when he hears them. The manager of the Statistics Office next to him, Niu Qiandao, and the manager of the Law Enforcement Department, Bao Zhongchen, seem to understand, but they still listen reluctantly. .

"How many catties of steel can be smelted at one time with a blast furnace like the one my lord mentioned?" Niu Qiandao interjected.

"How many kilograms?" Ling Zheng stood up fiercely, he had completely entered the state of selflessness in the technical field at this time, "According to the design of the current master, the maximum capacity can be accommodated, the size of our Nanzhong, 100 cubic meters! Rough calculation At least 600 tons of steel can be produced in one furnace!"

Obediently! 600 tons? !At least?Among other things, in Foshan, the largest furnace today only produces 6000 catties of iron. What does six hundred tons mean?Niu Qiandao didn't react for a moment.

"Then how much grain does such a blast furnace cost?" Li Peilin didn't know anything else, but he knew better than anyone that money and grain were needed to do anything.

"Well, it's hard to say at the moment. My lord asks that if you can use people, don't use people. We can say anything else in Nanzhong, but there are too few manpower. One is to use water drainage, the other is to use steel plates to make the furnace shell, and the third is to use steel plates to make the furnace shell. For refractory bricks, it is also necessary to consider whether the iron ore is yangxing or yinxing to be fired. Therefore, we plan to build a test kiln mouth first like a porcelain workshop, and after it is completed, we will go to the blast furnace!"

"However, in this way, a test furnace at least has an initial investment of more than [-] taels of silver, as well as hundreds of people's rations and salaries for three months. However, once the trial production of this furnace is successful, our army's steel will greatly increase. The manpower occupied by the workshop can also be transferred to other people."

"Ling Gong's words are really old-fashioned words to seek the country. In this way, the money and food issues mentioned just now, because today I got a windfall, the two stewards, I invite you to come here today, just for this purpose." Pei Lin He took out the accumulation of several generations of the Li family who had just been extorted from Li Muhua, "The location marked on this map is where the Li family buried gold and silver. Get these yellow and white things back for me! According to what the Li family said, there are about 7 taels of gold and more than [-] taels of silver. The copper and tin things are not counted. Each of your two families can take [-]% as funds. The rest will be handed over. Give it to the treasury as special money and grain for blast furnace construction."

"Ling Gong, I am sorry to trouble you. Write a letter in the name of the iron smelting workshop, requesting the construction of a blast furnace test furnace. I will attach the amount of gold and silver from the Li family. Four of us will sign it together. After the seal is signed, the express ship will send it to Go to camp in Hui'an and hand it over to the general for inspection, what do you think?"

"In this way, the ironsmiths in Foshan will have no food and clothing in the future!" The glasses rest on the bridge of the nose and immediately make up for this deficiency. <, it should be a famous student or something.

After taking his seat, Li Peilin naturally had some official questions about his fame and career. This is what he, an old fritter who has been in officialdom in the Mainland, can ask. Others are probably blind. <Frankly.

"The student is from Jiangdu, and he is a tribute student. He has been in the autumn for several times, but he all returned home. The so-called one fate, two luck, three geomantic omens, knowing that this life is hopeless, so he went to do the work of Tao Zhugong." <some proud He raised his head, "Students are the tribute." <Naturally there are reasons to be proud.

After a few polite words, the two sides began to get down to business.

In the past few years, Li Peiting and the Yancao Gang have joined hands to sell the fine salt produced in Nanzhong on both sides of the Yangtze River and up and down the canal. Although both parties have tried their best to keep it secret, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.After a long time, those two gangs who spend money like water in teahouses, restaurants, and casinos will naturally reveal some secrets of the world that they know in their conversations.

<This is the caring person.

Post directly to the mansion prepared by the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang for Mr. Li in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture. <Silence. <After explaining the purpose of coming, the two sides immediately hooked up.

"I am hereby ordered by the Patriarch to go south to discuss cooperation plans with you. As a show of sincerity, the Patriarch ordered me to bring four boats of cotton and two boats of raw silk, all of which were given to the princes of Nanzhong at the purchase price. Another 10 taels of silver , are all enough Taizhou ingots for my purchase of goods in Nanzhong."

Four boats of cotton and two boats of raw silk, placed in Nanzhong, are enough to keep the two hundred Xiuer machines busy for some time!

"Brother Nian is thinking about what to buy in this barren and barren place in Nanzhong, where the smoke is everywhere? Is it ivory? Rhino horn? Leopard skin? Pearl? Or something else?" Li Peilin deliberately diverted the topic.

"Brother Nian, this is too much! The second son is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has managed the brine industry in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone is flying like dogs, and the Yancao gang is buying raw silk, porcelain, tea and other things on a large scale. How can they hide it from Jiang? "

Pei Lin laughed and took the words.

"Our family is located in Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Nanzhili, Suzhou, Songjiang, Taihu Lake, etc., and there are 77 large and small salt shops. There are also dozens of salt merchants, and hundreds of thousands of stones of salt are imported and exported every year. However, there are many families. The expenses are huge. Therefore, the head of the family hopes to cooperate with the princes of Nanzhong," Jiang Chun pointed to the couplet at the door, "to make a fortune together."

"If you want salt, there is no problem with the supply," said Li Peilin, who also had the face of a businessman. "However, there are a few difficulties, and I hope brother Nian will understand."

"Oh! Brother Nian, please tell me face to face. When you ask for money, you always have to think about yourself in the first half of the night and others in the second half of the night. Helping others is helping yourself." I have shown you my friendship, I did not report your brother who smuggled salt, and I brought the cotton, raw silk and other things you need, and brought silver, it depends on what you want.

"Brother Nian may have misunderstood. What Li meant, of course, was also the meaning of my general. Back then, it was my incompetent younger brother who went to find the two gang leaders of Yancao. They never gave up and cooperated with us. My Li family is considered a Set foot in Nanzhong. Today, Brother Nian and Gui’s family are rich and powerful, and they are also salt merchants who have been given Yanyin by the government. Naturally, they don’t take the Yancao gangs to heart. However, the two gangs count 10 people , but this is what makes a living. I don’t know how Brother Nian and the Guidong family will deal with this matter?"

have to!The issue of sales scope was given to Fang's family!

"Brother Nian's kindness and righteousness are admirable, but please rest assured on this point. Before I go to sea this time, I have already discussed with the Patriarch. Cooperating with the Yancao Second Gang, I dare not say that the well water does not violate the river water. At least, as long as it is the territory of the two gangs, my family will never touch it. There are dozens of large and small salt merchants in Yangzhou, and the three of us can beat them one by one. Collapse!"<Holding up the tortoiseshell mirror frame, unfolded a map in the booklet, the map is a simple map, obviously drawn by Jiang Chun himself, with different colors marking the various provinces, and some Large state capital and county.

"This is the Yangtze River, and this is the canal. Your salt cargo is mainly landed near the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then received by the two lords of Yancao, they use their ships to pile up houses and travel along the Yangtze River and the canal to the coastal cities. Sales, that's why they were able to eat the [-] shi of fine salt that Second Master Li transported for the first time."

"However, their sales scope is narrow and cramped. The Yanbang cannot cross the Huaihe River in the north, and cannot go to the west of Zhejiang in the south. And the Caobang can only be sold along the canal." The light red and light yellow blocks marked with the two gangs of salt water.He couldn't help but say what was on his mind.

"Brother Nian, good advice! The Second Yancao Gang is only running a business to support their families. If you want to sell Nanzhong's salt to the mainland, and partner with our Fang family, you can get twice the result with half the effort!"

In fact, the [-] halite that Li Peiting sent to the mainland every two months, in the eyes of the Yancao gang, looked delicious, but it was a big piece of fat that they couldn't eat.Their own territory has become saturated, and other people's territories cannot be entered in a short period of time. In the view of Li Shouhan and others, they must find another partner in the mainland.

Now, the Fang family, who has the cloak of a legal salt merchant, came to ask for cooperation, which is naturally excellent!However, even the inner ecstasy cannot be brought out on the surface.

"However, Brother Nian, can you promise on behalf of your proprietor that you will not snatch the territory of the Yancao Second Gang?"

"Hey! Brother Li, I have already said just now, the Yancao Second Gang, the three of us will cooperate to steal other people's territory, and we will never kill generals in our own den! Besides, my master is safe and sound in Yangzhou Nafu broke the jobs of millions of bitter people for no reason, this, not to mention the loss of fortune and life, do you have to be on guard day and night against those bitter people to seek revenge?!"

"But I don't know, your boss, how much salt do you plan to ask for, brother He Nian? Every sailing schedule."

"Huh? I'm blunt, I don't know what the sailing schedule you mentioned, Brother Nian, are you referring to?"

"It's my fleet. After loading the cargo at the dock, unload the cargo at the port you designated, and then return. We call this round trip a schedule." <Obviously found an opportunity that can be exploited.Returning empty is also a term for water transportation.Refers to the return of vehicles and ships empty, without passengers or cargo, resulting in a waste of transport capacity.

"Why, does the shopkeeper of Jiangda have something to take care of us?" Zhang Xiaoqi, who was in charge of the shipping affairs of the Hanyuan Company, had a gleam in his eyes.

"My lord, the fast boats of your army are really powerful. My six lucky boats set off the first day, but they have not arrived. If I hadn't come here on the second son's ship, I would probably still be bumping on the sea today. So, I plan, in the future, when your cargo ship goes south, it will be carrying my family's goods!"

A group of guys talked about each other, discussing unscrupulously in front of the God of Wealth how to transport illegal salt to the north, and how to transport soybeans, wheat, cotton, raw silk, etc. to the south. <Also quietly changed the address. "Just now you said a few things. From the students' point of view, it is nothing more than that the sales scope and interests of the Yancao Second Gang cannot be affected, and the demand for my family is the same. Initially, I plan to have the same shipping schedule as the Cao Gang. In addition, I would like to ask my lord, what do you want so much cotton and raw silk for? Naturally, the raw silk can be sold to Yangyi, but you don’t need that much?” Jiang Chun began to try to understand the other party’s intentions.

The Li family brothers looked at each other and exchanged meanings in their eyes.

<I saw the cloth in the servant's hand at a glance, and it seemed to be very similar to the fan cloth produced in Songjiang Prefecture.Fanbu comes from Wunijing, Shanghai County, and was taught by Huang Daopo.High quality and high price, "one horse can cost as much as platinum hundred".During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, high-ranking court officials and ministers close to the emperor were often bribed with this gift, and the cloth became more and more beautiful, and even weaved patterns such as dragon and phoenix, bullfighting, and unicorn.

The few pieces of cloth in front of me are all of the wrong yarn and color matching, the healds are pulled out, and they are all good things!

"The cotton we want is to make this thing, and the plain white cloth we want is to make this." Fu Bo pointed to the dyed cloth in the hands of a servant in the back row.

"Songjiang Cotton Cloth is the world's top seller. Naturally, we don't dare to hold our own, but we also have our own advantages!"

The so-called inexhaustible Songjiang cloth refers to the fact that more people make a living by spinning and weaving in Songjiang Prefecture, and the natural output will increase.However, in Hejing, with the Xiuer machine now, the labor cost and output are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary family-based machine owners. <!The sharp weapon of the country cannot be shown to others! <Looking at the piles of cloth samples, what you see in your eyes is white silver.

"Brother Nian, why bother. <I have seen a lot of strange people and strange things, so it is natural that I am not surprised at all. However, opening this book really surprised him.

Flipping it casually, it was completely cloth, different types of cloth, dyed in different colors, counted roughly, and the ears of various colors rang. <Carefully rubbing the texture of the cloth with your fingers, feeling the difference from the cloth in Songjiang Prefecture.

"The dyed cloth in your hand, we sell it to the Japanese for two gold pieces for one piece of cloth, and two pieces of alloy. For this kind of cloth, it is four pieces of gold pieces for one piece. However, Xiongtai is naturally different from the Japanese, so we will pay five pieces of gold. How about selling it to Xiongtai?"

This kind of dyed cloth costs ten taels of silver for a piece of cloth, which is naturally not expensive, and it is quite profitable to transport it home. <Silently calculated in my heart, four boats of cotton and two boats of raw silk are about 20 taels of combined silver, and I can ship back [-] to [-] bolts of cloth.

"I don't know when the more than 1 bolts of cloth can be woven and handed over to the students?"

"You miscalculated? Younger." Uncle Fu carefully combed his thin beard with a beard comb, "It's not more than 1 horses, it's nearly [-] horses!"

Um?Isn't it ten taels for a piece of dyed cloth?

"The exchange of gold and silver in the mainland is about one tael of gold for ten taels of silver. However, we exchange one tael of gold for four taels of silver with Wo Nu. Naturally, we can't let Xiongtai suffer this dark loss! Five taels of silver are one Piece-dyed sebum! However, it can only be sold in the area I designated, if it is sold to Japanese slaves or others, brother Jiang, will you treat me as nothing in Nanzhong?" With a cry, he fell to his knees, "I implore my lord to hand over the cloth franchise to the students! The students will definitely supply the cotton, gray cloth, and raw silk needed by Nanzhong, no matter how much, there will be no shortage! I just ask my lord to give me the cloth franchise! "<When I learned that the textile cost of Nanzhong was back then, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. A piece of dyed cloth cost only five renminbi. "It only costs less than 5 yuan?? This is because of General Li's kindness, he gave the workers a lot of money every month for working hours, three festivals and two longevity rewards, two meals a day, and work clothes. He also limited each shift to no more than five workers. Shi Chen, overwork will result in rewards! If it were me, I could definitely reduce the cost to a penny!"
