Chapter 1 Local Tyrant Private Enterprises
Two years passed in a blink of an eye. The biggest change in Chang'an City was the two scenic spots inside and outside the city. After more than a year of construction, the large steel mills of state-owned enterprises finally successfully rose to the ground. Even the cement plants inside the snail residences also started to mass produce cement piled up in the warehouse.
The night owls in the nightclub emerged. After a year, they finally broke the forbidden night. The Golden Cave made a huge amount of money for Qin Shou every night. As well as the establishment of the new company, Su Ye's newspaper occupied the second floor to expand its operations. Today's newspapers can provide about hundreds of thousands of copies, which greatly stimulated the rise of materials in Chang'an City.
Tobacco is finally sold and launched. Qin Shou, who was extremely treacherous, used a tobacco trial method and successfully brought out one-third of the loyal smokers in the city. The price of tobacco has also gradually increased from low prices, from the initial RMB one liang to 50 RMB one liang now, officially becoming a high-end gold leaf in the aristocratic circle.
After the first batch of Qinshou cotton planting, the Tang Dynasty version of RMB officially began to transform coins. This move caused praise. The reform of coins made it easier for the people to trade. Now, the rich man brought tens of thousands of yuan to the streets. He pretended to be arrogant and fought for wealth. He felt very satisfied with the hearts of the rich.
After the abolition of the old currency system, the Tang Dynasty RMB replaced the civic system. 1 civic is equal to 1 cent, 10 civic is equal to 1 yuan, 100 civic is equal to 10 yuan, and 1,000 civic is equal to 100 yuan. The most valuable 100 yuan bill mb has become the target of enthusiastic pursuit of the people. Boss Li, who has a peaceful face, is so cute, right?
The promotion of coins was not at all resistance, and they all took their own copper coins for exchange for the new version of coins. The exchanged copper coins gave Boss Li a headache again. Several copper mountains with the same altitude were indeed a headache. Qin Shou volunteered to pat his chest and promised that he had a way to solve all these problems. Boss Li was also happy to leave all the copper mountains to Qin Shou for treatment. It is said that Qin Shou took two days to pull back these copper mountains.
The two major state-owned enterprises and private enterprises and banks emerged like spring rain. The banking system gave the people a hope, and also made the rich people who had too much money to spend and had no place to spend. The interest on making money with money was greatly tempting. In addition, Boss Li issued an order to ensure that there would be no accidents or anything, which greatly comforted the people's hearts.
With a bank, you must have items that passbooks as evidence. Qin Shou, who had prepared a long time ago, created a simple movable type digital machine. He used the digital machine to arrange the numbers and printed them on the passbook notebook in a unified manner. In order to prevent anyone from impersonating or faketing, the engraved digital printing has anti-counterfeiting icons, the pen and ink are smeared or the numbers are not neat and blurred, and they are not counted.
The role of cotton made Boss Li feel extremely important. It prevented cotton from making money leaks, increased the constant of cotton planting, and left it to Qin Shou. Qin Shou, who has a big family and a big business, took over everything, and became a monopoly cotton enterprise grower.
Boss Li established an official office dedicated to making money, and transferred the newly established Finance Minister to a free bank built by Qin Shou. The bank of this state-owned enterprise was built in the center of Chang'an City, which was also convenient for the future transformation of Chang'an. Even such bicycle management offices have been launched one after another.
As for why Boss Li let Qin Shou build the economy of Chang'an solemnly? First, he always exploited Qin Shou's labor and hard work, and was embarrassed to not give his wages. Second, every item of Qin Shou revolved around business development, so why not drive the Tang Dynasty's economy? Third, he is almost a family. Can Qin Shou run out of his palm to control it?
With these three reasons for being ineffective, Boss Li simply sat happily watching Qin Shou grow slowly. Next year is the time when Qin Shou fulfilled his promise, so he asked to pay a large amount of food. As for taxes, Boss Li was generous and could give Qin Shou a deadline. Now Boss Li is rich in finance. Most of the money of the people in the Tang Dynasty is saved. The power of the people cannot be underestimated, right?
Boss Li happily counted money and organized and equipped the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, while Qin Shou hid in the stuffy study. Tao Yue had a daughter who had grown up for two years, and now she had grown taller at an altitude. She was holding a fan in her hand and sang the wind behind Qin Shou diligently, while Wang Xinyi was calculating Qin Shou's property.
As for Wu Meiniang who has already gone out to work hard for Qin Shou, according to Qin Shou's shameless mantra, it is not tiring to work with men and women. Qin Shou is in charge of industrial development and construction. Wu Meiniang, a strong woman, is going to be the queen of business and hand over her own industrial business to Wu Meiniang. Qin Shou is relieved to be one hundred.
This damn summer made Qin Shou feel extremely helpless. It was too hot. The most puzzled thing was that his long hair was very harmful. He was prone to sulking and lice at the same time. If he didn't take a bath for a day or two, he would keep it so itchy that it was so painful that Qin Shou didn't know how he got through it before.
"Xiaoyue, what time is it now?" Qin Shou, who was thinking about the trance, suddenly jumped around and asked Shichen, which made Tao Yue, who was fanning, confused. She had always been here, but she had no time to count as a time, and this time was still quite a headache.
Tao Yue calculated the time in his heart, looked up at the sun outside the window, muttered, "Well, young master, it's about three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather is so hot! There may be a lot of droughts in various places this year. Young master, will our cotton and tobacco leaves be affected?"
"Drought?" Qin Shou suddenly looked worried when he heard the word "drought". Drought means that many people are about to be homeless, and there must be many people starving to death without harvest in the farmland, especially the people in the feudal period, where there are many people starving to death, and there must be many selfish officials.
The people are suffering from problems in grain production. Although Qin Shou did not have the heart of the Bodhisattva who saved the suffering, he could not stand the suffering of the people. The food and grass there has not yet been cultivated for Chameng rice in three to four seasons a year. Without this talent, he only produced grain twice a year, and the storage of grain is enough to cope with the sudden drought.
What made Qin Shou feel a headache was that the pirates on the Yanqiu side had not been completely destroyed yet. Li Zhen did try his best, but due to the ship's power problem, he could not catch up with the cunning of those professional pirates. The cunning rabbit's three holes really made Li Zhen feel angry. He was frustrated!
Sulfur Qiucheng's granary almost every day, several groups of pirates risked their lives to harass tactics, and resolutely insisted on robbing. Ma Lu's urgent shells were cut off by pirates three months ago, and the water ghost team pecked through the transport ship, causing Qin Shou to lose a batch of shells. In a rage, the transportation was sent with a navy escort. This was not a problem, and it was a waste of human resources.
Qin Shou could only temporarily put it aside, and find an opportunity to go over and direct it personally in the future. Now there is still two deadly things to solve. One is the summer problem that is so hot that it is not worth your life, and the other is the time issue that is extremely tangled. Now that most of the careers have been completed, it is time for people who have free time to think about the others. Qin Shou picked up paper and strokes and drew new inventions, an invention that improved the life problems of the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay, Xiaoyue. Go and take a rest!" After Qin Shou finished painting, he stood up in a irritable mood. He ignored Tao Yue, who was stunned, and walked out of the study with heavy steps. He was thinking about when the engine would be completed. The failures made Qin Shou feel discouraged.
Yuan Shenpu and his friends' oil refining have been completely improved. Even the slag from waste oil has been refined into grease. Yuan Shenpu, who has completed the oil refining, has been studied by Qin Shou to study the production of rubber. The fig tree can now produce rubber juice, which is much inferior to the rubber tree.
Qin Shou walked out of the villa and felt an illusion that the Lifang in front of him was full of modern buildings. The dormitories were covered with cement floors, and wooden houses were completely unavailable. The identities of the long-term workers were gradually changed to employees, and busy figures could be seen everywhere, a bit of an illusion of being in the inner city.
With Qin Mansion as the center point, different branches are opened on both sides, and the combination of heavy industry and light industry departments is mainly engine research and bicycle manufacturing. The chemical industry is Yuan Shenpu and others. They mainly extract oil and rubber, and abandoned glass is added to the high walls. Whoever climbs the wall will seek death.
Qin Shou bowed his head and walked towards Wang Blacksmith. Now Wang Blacksmith ignores his identity as the director of his steel plant, and sincerely studies the construction and production of the engine, and gives Duan Blacksmith the responsibility of the steel plant. The engine failed more than a dozen times, which made Wang Blacksmith feel that his old face has nothing to do with him and threatens to never go back until he overcomes the difficulties.
At first, it was because the shaping cylinder block did not meet the specifications, and the exhaust part of the crankshaft was not even placed for a long time. Either the tiles were not done properly and the shell was stuck, or the screws were not tight enough, and the most serious problem was that the oil was not pumped up. The simple diesel pump was finally developed and the oil was driven by the engine.
The last time was two months ago. The engine started for a while and finally turned off. One of the parts was not of quality and could not withstand high-speed operation. Secondly, oil leaked! There was no oil seal, when the oil was started, the engine was like a blood spray, and the hissing sound sprayed all the oil and oil completely scrapped under high temperature friction.
After more than a dozen failures, when there was no glue, I had to wait for Yuan Shenpu and others to make glue and conduct experiments. Now I should grasp the quality level first. Some of the tight parts are made by hand and will definitely not be able to support high-speed operation. The only way is to stamp parts from the machine tool.
When Qin Shou came to Wang Blacksmith's research engine workshop, Wang Blacksmith was busy with his figure and a dozen young men slamming the machine tool. The power of the machine tool was stepped out from three modified bicycles. When stamping parts, he tried his best to step on the bike. The parts were stamped through the principle of mechanical transmission of power.
Qin Shou walked behind Wang Blacksmith and saw Wang Blacksmith holding iron pliers in his hand, directing the young blacksmiths to stamp parts. When burning red parts, he passed mechanical stamping like a heavy hammer. Qin Shou patted Wang Blacksmith on the back with one hand and asked, "Wang Blacksmith, how are the engine research now? Is there any progress?"
When Wang Blacksmith heard Qin Shou's voice, he quickly handed over the work in his hand to a young man beside him, turned around and said, "Young Master, it's probably almost done. As long as Master Yuan and his friends produce the glue, it will basically be successful. Now, the parts created by these machine tools are stamped, and the parts are much more stable!"
Qin Shou nodded when he heard Wang Blacksmith's words, and said with a cautious expression: "Well, it's so good, quality should be put first, everything else is false. Wang Blacksmith, you have to remember one sentence, there is no unexpected thing, only impossible to do, remember this famous saying in mind!"
"Yes!" Wang Blacksmith bowed his head and said yes under Qin Shou's old-fashioned teaching. When Qin Shou was fumbled into his clothes pocket, Wang Blacksmith waited for Qin Shou with curious eyes. He knew that Qin Shou's actions must have something good to take out.
Wang Blacksmith took Qin Shou to a pile of scattered parts, patted his chest confidently and said, "Young Master, come and take a look. These cylinders and gears and flywheels are all stamped from the machine tool, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed..."
Qin Shou nodded with a heavy expression on his face and said, "Well, Wang Blacksmith, you should hurry up and complete this project. It's not easy to be careless. The reconstruction of Chang'an City depends entirely on these heavy industrial equipment. Manpower is too expensive. Keep cheering. I will take these two fan blades first, come on!"
After Qin Shou finished speaking, in a stunned expression, Wang Blacksmith raised two fan pieces used for cooling, which made Wang Blacksmith watch Qin Shou leave in a daze. ‘What are the young master taking these things away?’ Wang Blacksmith thought about this question silly.
It is definitely useful for Qin Shou to take away this fan blade. Damn summer thief is very hot. Qin Shou really can't stand the stuffy weather, especially at night, when he is sleeping with three delicate beauties. That's so hot! It's normal for three hot stoves to be stuck on it and wake up in the middle of the night.
Tong Xue is the person Qin Shou envied the most. This old fairy-like freak is enviable. Her skills are not invasive. But her skills are better off! Just like the Sunflower Book, if a man wants to practice this skills, he must first wave his sword and castrate himself. It is dark enough! It is said that a woman practiced this skills and yin and yang are inconsistent, which is very proof. She has never been to Yue Kui or something.
Qin Shou pulled two fan blades to Zhang Changgong's workshop. The head of the carpenter's workshop is now a big household with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, which is almost the same as the monthly salary of the Duke of the court. After the reform of the currency, the salaries of the court officials also rose with the prices. The worst ninth-rank sesame official also reached a monthly salary of 500 and 600 yuan. It was considered a great success to work at Zhang Changgong.
In the carpenter workshop of nearly 1,000 square meters, Ao Gui's Maopei wood is piled up, and more than 100 carpenter employees make furniture in batches. From sawing, planing, measuring wood, assembling, polishing, spraying, air-drying, etc., all of which are completed in batches. Each group of 10 people work together to produce furniture.
At this time, Zhang Changgong was supervising his subordinates' work, painting and carving skills, and Zhang Changgong gradually handed over to his men to complete. He is now only responsible for quality inspection and anti-counterfeiting signs, and is responsible for dividing furniture into two batches, and handing it over to the city for sale and other places of the Fei Family Clan.
"Foreman Zhang, come here, come here!" Qin Shou stood at the door of the carpenter's workshop, too lazy to go in and wave to signal Zhang Changgong to come out. The two fan blades were thrown aside and waiting for Zhang Changgong to run out. The environment inside was not very good, there were a lot of nails and wood chips, and accidentally put them on their feet or something, and they didn't cry.
Zhang Changgong ran out in a panic, approached Qin Shou and nodded and said, "Oh! So it's the young master! Look, what wind blows you? Zhang is a bit messy and is not considerate. I hope the young master will forgive you. Master, what's the matter with Zhang?"
Qin Shou took out a drawing from his body and said, "Nonsense, the hot summer wind, well, Foreman Zhang, I really have something to do with you. I will help you build two sets of fans. Well, it's best to split two or three people to create them according to the drawings drawn by me. Take it to see, there are two fan design drawings of the source of power here."
"Fan?" Zhang Changgong took the design drawing handed over by Qin Shou in a silly manner. Looking at the simple fan model on it, Zhang Changgong curled his lips, thinking that it was difficult. It was nothing more than the shell of the fan. One was the floor-standing mouse power and the other was the hand-crank power.
Qin Shou solemnly explained: "The bearings and fan blades are going to go to the blacksmiths. There is nothing else, and the assembly is all up to you. The bearings must be inlaid into the bracket and nailed firmly with iron nails and wooden blocks. The fan will be divided into two levels in the future. I don't need to explain the luxury and ordinary wood. The fan will be put into the market in three days!"
Zhang Changgong smacked his lips and nodded when he heard Qin Shou's words. Qin Shou's meaning was obviously going to cheat money again. Needless to say, luxury must be cheating rich people, high-end products! Ordinary ones must be popular, cheap goods and wood are arbitrary, and the Qin family brand really monopolizes the market situation in Chang'an.
After Qin Shou finished his instructions, he turned around and left, leaving Zhang Changgong who was stunned. What does it mean? Zhang Changgong was puzzled and puzzled. Qin Shou hurried to the copper coin recycling office at this time. The newly recruited copper workshop was settled in the Heavy Industry side, and there was a furnace in the 500-square-meter workshop.
There are several copper coins high above the workshop. After a whole year of smelting, there are so many copper coins to show how much copper is. The copper ingots in the middle are piled up with two cubic meters in size, which is at least not as much as the copper coin mountain.
The foreman of Copper Coins Chongshuo is a middle-aged man in his thirties who has joined Qian Wanshan. Since Qin Shou has put out the banknotes, the copper coins made in his small workshop have been completely unemployed. At the end of his desperation, Qin Shou has hired craftsmen who have made copper coins. Qian Wanshan has to recommend himself with shameless face and immediately took on the role of the foreman.
Qin Shou walked to the door of the copper coins workshop and greeted Qian Wanshan, who was like a supervisor inside, and said, "Wanshan, come here, I will give you a glorious task now. This is a good thing that has been passed down for generations. It's a good thing. You'll be cheap. Based on the picture above, I'll make this pocket watch!"
Qian Wanshan ran out with a curious look on his face when he heard this, took the drawings from Qin Shou, looked at them for a while and asked in a daze: "Pocket watch? Master, forgive Qian for being ignorant, what does this pocket watch mean? Why are there twelve numbers in it? Well, what are the uses of these small parts?"
Qin Shou touched his chin with one hand and said, "Pocket watch is for time. The big food number is twelve-hour system, and the twenty-four-hour system is 24-hour system. Basically, it is composed of a dial, a cover, a needle, a gear, a bracelet, etc. The gear should be smaller, and it is best to make it with copper. Thank you for your hard work. If you do it, your monthly money will double!"
Qian Wanshan looked happy when he heard this, bowed and promised, "Yes, young master! Qian will do his best to complete it!"
Qin Shou patted Qian Wanshan's shoulder with one hand and reminded him: "The dial, watch cover, watch needle, gear, bracelet, etc. are all made of copper, and the rolled spring is made of steel leather. Well, this young master will instruct the blacksmiths to cooperate with you and do it well. I will not treat you badly!"
Chapter completed!
