Chapter One Hundred and Forty-fifth: The Real Man
Qin Shaoyou's method is actually very easy to understand.
Anyway, the female family members of these food households were idle, so they simply organized some work to do. Qin Shaoyou paid them wages, and after taking these embroidery, they could sell them and earn interest rate spreads.
And because Qin Shaoyou organized them together, they could greatly improve their productivity and hire painters to make their embroidery more time-consuming.
This is something that both parties can make profits. It can be said that this is also a primary industrial chain of Qin Shaoyou. The land is used to plant flax, good stubble, mulberry trees, and finally weave cloth, make tea, and embroidery. In addition, tea seeds from camellia tea can also be purchased for oil extraction. Men are responsible for planting and women are responsible for production. Qin Shaoyou then sells it through channels in Luoyang City. These tens of thousands of food households supplying raw materials from upstream to downstream finished products shipped almost all become part of Qin Shaoyou's money-making. Large-scale production brings about improvement in production efficiency and commercial sensitivity.
The so-called sensitivity is due to the large shipment volume, so a group of people who observe market trends will naturally appear in the Qin family's commercial system, such as cross-stitch. If the female red made by ordinary women, most of the embroidery patterns are vulgar and not elegant. Why? It is just a limitation of the eyes. Although the atmosphere is open in this era, women are not staying away, but in this place where transportation is not convenient, it is already the limit for them. They don't know what happened in Luoyang City and whether the nobles use gold shoulder poles. But once organized, it is completely different. Nowadays, what are the fancy styles that high-ranking and wealthy families like the most, or what is the most popular recently, and even what new styles appear in the palace, they can immediately organize a group of painters to draw them out and guide production thereafter, so that these embroidery favor many people.
Many things are actually focused on grouping together, and fighting alone means being weak. Organizing an individual and allowing them to break away from the self-sufficiency production model. You can make huge profits from it.
Shangguan Wan'er was such a smart person. She immediately understood Qin Shaoyou's intention and used the cross stitch that Qin Shaoyou had come up with inexplicable ideas, and then organized manpower to produce, greatly improving production efficiency. These women could get rich salaries, and Qin Shaoyou could also seek huge benefits from it. More importantly, planting mulberry flax in the field, these economic crops are more valuable than growing grain in the past. Men of the food households farm to make money, women produce and earn money, and the income from their families can be greatly improved. With this huge improvement, the Unity Camp can draw taxes from it and get more money and grain to maintain the needs of the army.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan'er's body shook slightly. She couldn't help but think that those who plant mulberry and hemp and camellia must sell these silk hemp and tea to Qin Shaoyou's farm. Because of such large-scale output, except for Qin Shaoyou's demand, no one in the world can purchase such a large number of people, and those who produce cloth, silk and tea are also controlled by Qin Shaoyou. This means that these food households have been controlled by Qin Shaoyou since then, which is like Qin Shaoyou's own establishment of a semi-independent kingdom. Each of them seems irrelevant. However, they are part of Qin Shaoyou's method, and such division of labor has led to the possibility of bankruptcy without Qin Shaoyou's organization.
Planting...Production...Selling for profit...Qin Shaoyou makes money...Food households were able to greatly improve their lives...collect taxes from them...train troops.
Almost every link is firmly controlled by Qin Shaoyou. Without Qin Shaoyou, the mulberry and hemp planted will inevitably not be sold at a good price. Without Qin Shaoyou, it will be difficult to organize production. Without Qin Shaoyou, the lives of food households will be difficult to improve. Without Qin Shaoyou, according to the cost and output of grain planting in the past, unless it is levied and levy, it will be impossible to get enough money and grain needed in the army. Without money and grain, the Tuanjie Camp will still be a mess of mud.
Shangguan Wan'er is such a smart person. She can see the truth clearly at a glance.
No wonder this guy went to embroidery. It turned out that all this was considered. I am afraid that every step here would be calculated by him. If these were to make huge profits as expected, what would it mean? It means that in the food household, whether men, women, young or old, the officials or soldiers, no matter whether they were officials or soldiers, they would unknowingly attach their lives to Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou is a node of this new model. Without this node, the link will completely collapse, and eventually the life of the food household cannot be improved. His princess cannot make huge profits in business, and the Tuanying Camp cannot train good soldiers.
This is actually...it is already a certain degree of independent kingdom, and it is partially born... but this relationship of interest-accompaniment cannot be broken.
Think about it, Qin Shaoyou brought Princess Taiping in, which is a huge guarantee. Even if someone wants to break this link of interest, he will never be able to avoid Princess Taiping's influence. For the Wu family, what the Wu family needs is an armed force that can compete with Li Tang, and what they need is checks and balances, so they have no motivation to destroy this interest relationship.
After thinking about it, Shangguan Wan'er sighed and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are really unwilling to be lonely. Qin Shaoyou, if you say your true words, you may have something else in your heart."
However, Qin Shaoyou looked at her lightly, nodded seriously and said, "No, it's true."
He admitted it very simply that he could deceive others in many things, but he might not deceive Shangguan Wan'er because everyone knows each other too much. Besides, Shangguan Wan'er's wisdom is extraordinary. This is in this era, except for Wu Zetian, the most brilliant woman can easily deceive.
Qin Shaoyou said seriously: "Half a year ago, I made great contributions and was appointed as the lieutenant. I thought I could rest assured, but what was the result? But I was sent to the mountainous ravine of Mengxi. The originally determined imperial guards later became the so-called united camp lieutenant composed of a group of farmers. Shangguan Kaizhao, I am different from you. You are from a famous family. Although your family has encountered misfortunes, at least you are lucky. You have received the trust of Your Majesty, accompanying you day and night, heaven
Juvenile, who dares to underestimate you? But I am just a chef, so I have to obtain anything ten times more difficult than you and many people, but so what? Even if you have the favor of your Majesty, you can earn your own foundation by relying on yourself, but in this dangerous place, with my background, I will never get the things I have obtained today. At that time, I figured out one thing, does Shangguan Dizhao want to hear it?"
Shangguan Wan'er didn't understand Qin Shaoyou very much. She didn't understand why this guy was always good at calculating and why he was so skilled in scheming. Now, she was finally moved because she discovered for the first time that Qin Shaoyou's thoughts and his background were different from her. At this time, she looked at this indignant and smiling guy seriously, and couldn't help but listen. Perhaps... her original heart was more willing to enter Qin Shaoyou's heart, wanting to see what unknown secrets hidden under this guy's heartless and complacent appearance.
Looking at Shangguan Wan'er looking at him seriously, Qin Shaoyou raised his head and said, "From now on, I understand that no matter how long I can rely on anyone, the only person I can rely on in this world is myself. I also understand that the foundation of my life in this world is not because I am favored by anyone, but because I have to be strong myself. Only by making myself an indispensable person can I gain a foothold here, so that everyone knows that I am a chef and hate me so much that I can still not move.
Shake me a little... because... I will be very important, so important that I will never become a chess piece that others compromise and sacrifice. Shangguan Zhizhao, I am just a person who lives for myself. Everything I do is not as much so-called responsibility and loyalty. In fact... I just want to live well, not bend down or become a bargaining chip for others. This is what I want. In fact, that's all I want. After all... I'm just a chef, with a humble background, and even laughed at by others. What else can I hope for?"
Shangguan Wan'er was moved and wriggled for a long time, and finally said, "I understand."
Qin Shaoyou sighed and said, "So I want to embroider well, promote my tea mulberry well, and practice this military horse well. I rarely do one thing seriously. It is too difficult to make a reality in this world, but I am happy to do so. Of course..." Qin Shaoyou blinked and couldn't help but smile: "Of course, you must also have to pour bitterness. Children who can cry have milk."
Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "You cry too much, so you can't restrain yourself, really."
Qin Shaoyou was speechless and simply moved away from the topic; "Your Majesty asked you to come, can you have an oral order?"
Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and said, "Actually, she just taught me to see, you..." She raised her eyes and looked straight into Qin Shaoyou's eyes: "Anyway, you do your own thing."
This sentence contains many meanings, and to some extent, it is considered that Shangguan Wan'er expressed some support.
Qin Shaoyou said seriously: "Thank you, this is my truth."
Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face couldn't help but blush: "What are you thanking?"
"I don't know." Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and said, "I don't know what I thank, but I just want to thank you."
Shangguan Wan'er thought of something, as if she had touched something, but she turned her face away and sighed quietly.
This sigh is very light, with many unspeakable sorrows.
