Let's turn stones into gold

Let's turn stones into gold

Among the uncle and nephew of the Shi family, the sixth uncle taught literacy in the female school. The textbook was written in three hundred and thousands of times - the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Names, and the Thousand Family Poems. The Thirty-Four was responsible for teaching calculation (mathematics). However, according to the times, this guy's mathematical level was slightly higher than that of modern primary schools. Cui Zhuang's female school has now entered the second volume of "The Book of Women", and has entered the application problems of equations such as "Chicken and Rabbit in the same cage". The slightly complicated examples made the clan brother fuck and seemed to be unable to understand it. He was stunned for a while at the book, and then hesitated to read the book...

But Shideng didn't care about this small flaw. He stood outside the newly built school window and listened to Uncle Six finished the class of Qianjia Poetry. Then he watched Uncle Six shake his head and sway his head reluctantly, and walked out the door with his smile. Then he watched Brother Thirty-four went on stage and started to take the planning class... But after Brother Thirty-four last night's opening remark, it was time to put on stage.

"Today I am talking about "Family Management". When I wrote this book, I referred to a book about the scriptures and techniques written by a Westerner in the Spring and Autumn Period. This book should be the earliest "economic" book in the world. Oh, the literacy rate of Westerners is not high now, so this book is not read much even in the Western world.

However, when the Westerners reach the popularization rate of our Song people's literacy, I think this knowledge will become the popularization knowledge of Westerners before adulthood, and the most basic knowledge and knowledge of adults, just like one plus one equals two..."

This is the Song Dynasty. The people of the Song Dynasty were never afraid of learning other people's knowledge, so three of the "Four Great Inventions" belonged to this era. Therefore, when Shi Chuan introduced the origin of economics knowledge, there was no Qing-style avoidance or tampering. He said it very calmly, and the people in the audience also looked natural when they listened.

Although Cuizhuang Girls' School is famous in all villages, and nearby gentry have been entrusted with their own girls to enroll, in fact, the entire school, plus the 18 girls from the Peach Blossom View, has only 52 students in total. It is precisely because a place to go to school is so difficult to find, so it is so popular. The two Zheng girls are now sitting in the audience, and they are the last two students in Cuizhuang Girls' School.

The female students used a class-based teaching system, and fifty-two people were divided into three lines to take turns to different subjects. Today is the moment when two new teachers took office. All the students attended the ceremony in the classroom. Shideng took this opportunity to start the first section of the art teaching in a casual tone. He flipped the book casually, made the pages rustle, and then smiled and continued:

"The first chapter of the art is the 'marginal cost' - please note: it is the 'marginal cost' rather than the 'cost'. For example, cost is: buying a cowhide for ten cents, plus needlework, plus craftsman's salary three cents, the cost of the things made is thirteen cents - this is the mindset of the accountant.

What economists consider is: if you invest this thirteen cents, what is the extension marginal cost caused by this? This means... do you know the avalanche?... Don't you know, have you ever seen falling stones on the mountain? The stone rolls down the ridge, and the more you roll down, the more stones it drives, and the more it is more and more. And the same is true for investment. The first money is like the first stone. After it is invested, it will drive more and more marginal effects. Starting from the Spring and Autumn Period, people who consider the cost issue in this way are called "economists", and the literacy rate will increase in the future. The one who considers the problem in this way is "ordinary humans".

The economy should be considered like this. When you operate a family industry in the future, you should also abandon the cost considerations of the accountant. Because using the accountant-style thinking to run your own investment projects, you will often "dead if you manage it, and be messy when you release it." For example, when you see a certain investment income abnormal, you quickly use the accountant-style cost accounting method to plug the loopholes, and the investment will be lost. The investment will be reduced; you will also increase the cost stimulus of the accountant-style, and you want to ensure the capital, but the result is chaos.

So in my course, the first lesson will tell you the "most basic characteristics of capital": marginal cost. When managing the family industry, you must remember that the accountant is used to record income and expenditure, so don't let the accountant be an "expert". When investing in your own company, you should consider the "marginal cost" more when accounting costs, and when considering the benefits, you should also consider the marginal benefit - for example, when buying large goods in our shop, we will give small gifts. The action of giving gifts does not make money itself and is a loss, but other benefits brought by the gifting activity are the "marginal benefit" of the gift.

For example, the luggage and accessories in our luggage workshop are outsourced to the villagers of Cuizhuang. Using the accounting method of the accountant, we basically don’t make money by purchasing small accessories, and sometimes we even have to pay a little bit - but outsourcing these small accessories reduces the area of ​​our factory and reduces the number of regular craftsmen in our workshop. This is the reduction of marginal costs. Oh, as a result, my Shi Family’s cohesion and appeal to the villagers, and the villagers’ income increases, and so on. This is the ‘marginal income’.

The family’s industrial management should be considered from these aspects…”

Shi Chuan's lecture method was casual and easy. Considering the level of understanding of the Song people, he used specific examples to analyze the sufficient conditions, necessary conditions, and sufficient conditions for the subsequent courses... Because there are too many new words, the little girl in the audience was dazzling, but the two uncles and nephews of Shi who were listening were full of surprises. When Chuan talked about how to use the first pot of gold to leverage the chain effect, the sixth uncle sighed to the sky: "If I had heard these truths ten years ago, how could it be today?"

Brother Thirty-fourth's lips trembled: "Is this the reason for family economy?...chain effect, joint costs...Isn't the same reason for official operation? Nepotism, the same year of the disciple, interpersonal relationships can also be managed in this way... Ah, when I was young, if I could know this truth, how could it be in the clan..."

Shi Chuan's class was about to be in the warmth. Butler Mu Shun came in quietly and rushed to Shi Chuan gestured that the carriage and horses were ready. Shi Chuan noticed Mu Shun's greeting and closed the book casually and said, "Okay, we have learned too many new words today. Please read the book first, familiarize yourself with the vocabulary in the book, and we will continue to class tomorrow..."

When Shi Chuan walked off the podium, Huang E on the seat twisted her body, as if he was hesitating whether to follow. This action caused the girls in Taohuaguan to get up one after another, but Huang E thought about it and sat down immediately. Seeing this situation, Shi Sansisi quickly walked onto the podium, coughed lightly, and persuaded him: "My clan brother still has a lot of things to deal with. You can follow us now. With your knowledge, you can't help me much. So calm down and study with me.

Ahem, I have been reading this set of books compiled by my clan brothers these days and have been very inspired. After learning this set of books, I will not talk about your progress in Derong and Yangong. Just being a commoner who is eager to make money in the world is enough. Everyone, I feel that this set of books has made great progress. If you have this opportunity, you should study hard."

After hearing this, Huang E thought about it and lowered her head to look at the book. After a while, Huan Niang, who was lying at the window, thought about it and immediately moved a small stool into the classroom.

In the third class, we continue to do the thirty-fourth brother's arithmetic. After this class, it was a class of appearance and manners, and the one who taught them became a female teacher...

At this time, outside Cuizhuang, Shi Chuan was patrolling his workshop. In order to keep the technology confidential, a high wall was built around the workshop and wrapped all the four major yards. After entering the factory, a road directly drove to the center of the yard. The center of the square is a four-sided building with a shaped square. The center of the shaped square is a small open space, with four doors on four sides and four facing buildings, and the factory area is also divided into four different yard areas by a cross street.

Currently, there are men and women working in the factory. Similarly, men and women are mixed in large production workshops in the Song Dynasty. When Shiteng enters, the men and women working on the assembly line are busy and chattering. On the assembly line made of countless long tables, it seems like hundreds of millions of ducks are clamoring. Shiteng just feels a buzzing sound on his forehead and quickly walk to the end of the workshop. This is a sewing area made by an old cobbler. When men work, they talk less, and the supervisors of the workshop are also working here.

After a period of trial operation, each workshop had already found some experience. Shi Chuan briefly asked about the production status of the factory, and then learned from modern management techniques to re-verify the production process, factory rules, and work and rest system of the workshop... Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, Shi Chuan led Mu Shun out of the workshop.

Shi Chuan built a factory and inevitably brought some modern traces, such as the open spaces around the site were made of green grasslands. The roads were paved with flat bluestone slabs, and the vacant free spaces were decorated with green grass. Standing at the entrance of the workshop, Shi Chuan turned around and looked at his own workshop group and sighed: "That's right, this is a good era. There are so many business talents. As long as you can come up with a plan, you don't have to do anything yourself, and you can do everything for you."

Mu Shun smiled and stepped forward to point out a building opposite Shi's workshop, reminding him: "Owner, that is Fang Juren's workshop. Our workshop covers an area of ​​30 acres, and Fang Juren's workshop is a little smaller, covering about twenty acres. This land was originally owned by Yu's family, and was bought at a high price by Fang Juren.

Hehe, the Yu family didn't know that Fang Juren produced the same thing as us. His Yu family also had shares in our factory. Later, Fang Juren built a workshop as we did. The Yu family panicked and rushed over to explain... Later, Fang Juren raised funds in the farm. The Yu family saw that his family could occupy a larger share of Fang Juren and his income and dividends were not bad. When we see us again, we no longer looked embarrassed.

Humph, this juren is particularly hateful. Although he built a workshop like us, it was not as good as it was built. I heard that the buildings inside were also super-made. Yes, his 20-acre land was built in a model of our 30-acre site. If the place was small, what kind of tricks could he do?

What’s particularly annoying is that the ground in his farm is never laid. When it rains, craftsmen like to come in and out of mud, and they all like to come to our territory and rub against the mud on their feet. As a result, we can’t move our feet when it rains.

I had the intention to scold a few words, but the juren Fang hired farmers in the village, and they looked up and didn't look down. How could I come forward and make noise every day just because others came over and rubbed mud. Isn't this offending people? Master, don't blame me for being petty. I guess that juren Fang wanted us to make such a fuss..."
