The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 24
"We have a way to improve the advantages of coal, so that people no longer use firewood in their lives, but switch to coal."

Zhu Gaochi said confidently.

"Really?"

Zhang Dehui couldn't help confirming again and again.

This is too unexpected.

It even made him promise on the spot, hoping that the eldest son did not lie to him.

"As long as the people in Beiping Prefecture switch to coal, all the coal yards will rush to buy steam engines, and the students are guaranteed to sell a hundred of them in three months."

"Why only one hundred?"

Zhu Gaochi was not satisfied.

Zhang Dehui smiled wryly and explained the reason.

"Insufficient production."

"No, the output is too low, and if there are not enough people, we will recruit more people."

There are only [-] units a month, and less than [-] units a year.

Not to mention the national market, it will take several years to meet the needs of Beiping Prefecture.

"The officials at the ironworks said that they can only transfer these craftsmen to us, otherwise their errands will be delayed."

"Let's recruit more apprentices and cultivate them ourselves. In the future, they will be our own people, and we will spend money to dig craftsmen from other places."

Seeing the embarrassment on Zhang Dehui's face, Zhu Gaochi suddenly came to his senses.

Artisans are controlled talents.

"Let's say hello to Uncle Cheng, you use the name of King Yan's Mansion to poach people, no one dares to stop you."

"The student is fine."

Zhang Dehui laughed.

In some places the craftsmen are busy, and in some places the craftsmen have no work. Ordinary people can ask the craftsmen to do some work.

But if someone recruits a large number of craftsmen, he will inevitably be questioned by the government.

With the brand of King Yan's Mansion, Zhang Dehui is not afraid of the government.

"Build a factory."

Can't be like a grass team.

Zhu Gaochi decided to build a factory and give it an official name.

After that he was the factory owner.

In the past, he went to other people's factories to make screws, but later, others came to his own factory to make screws.

The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes in my heart.

And it's not just that superficial.

Zhu Gaochi also thought that as the business gets bigger and bigger in the future, the demand for talents from all walks of life will also increase.

Not only must outsiders be invited, but also self-cultivation is required to fill the gap and not be restricted by outsiders.

"Let's split into two groups."

Zhu Gaochi suggested.

At this time, he was still in the dark, not knowing that Zhu Di had actually returned to Peiping, and thought that Zhu Di was still outside the Great Wall.

He wanted to do big business before Zhu Di came back from outside the Great Wall, so as to persuade Zhu Di to avoid being stopped by him.

"You go to solve the trade route, let's go to the craftsman to make things, and go hand in hand to make a quick decision."

"Able to use the military in business, the eldest son is good at military strategy, and he has the style of King Yan!"

Zhang Dehui was in awe and flattered him.

pity.

The eldest son didn't seem to care.

Zhu Gaochi really just pretended not to hear.

Junlue's skills belonged to his second brother.

I have self-knowledge, it's meaningless to praise myself, and it's really bad luck to remind myself of my second brother.

This kid is too bad.

Not beaten.

Zhang Dehui didn't know what he said was wrong, which caused the eldest son's displeasure, so he could only make up for it quickly.

"Students are familiar with each club, even if there are unfamiliar ones, you can talk to them and contact them when you go back."

"it is good."

"The sooner we can, the better. The money won't be hot. Earn the money as soon as possible, and I will feel at ease."

Zhu Gaochi casually drew a big cake to Zhang Dehui.

I just learned from Uncle Cheng.

Zhang Dehui ate the big cake and was full of energy after returning.

Only three days.

Zhang Dehui invited a group of wealthy guests.

Coal bosses in Fangshan, west of Beiping City.

……

"I can really move by myself."

"Crack clap."

The swing of the big wishbone made people's eyes straight.

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, no one doubts now."

Zhang Dehui was full of complacency.

As the saying goes, you can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree.

Ever since he got close to the biggest sitting tiger in Beiping Mansion, Zhang Dehui's voice became three points louder.

Many things have existed since ancient times.

same.

The coal bosses of the Ming Dynasty also competed fiercely in private, with a gang of thugs and desperadoes.

Even local officials have to be treated with caution.

Because both parties are scholars, no one is afraid of anyone in the official world, so rely on the people in your hands to see the truth.

The tenants are no match for the miners.

For example, the Year of the Apocalypse.

The big households in the Gyeonggi area were all forced by the coal bosses to have no choice but to be bullied for decades, and finally found a thriving eunuch.

The eunuchs have a big appetite, so they come out to eat two.

In the end, Hao Qiang and the coal boss died together. It is true that the villain is even more tortured by the villain.

Haoqiang is a scholar, and the owner of the mine is also a scholar. Both parties evaded taxes and evaded losses to take advantage of the country.

When the eunuchs get the money, they can spend a few percent of it into the internal treasury to please the emperor, so that the emperor can continue to support them and not play by the rules.

The little Emperor Tianqi has some spare money in his hands, so he lives more comfortably.

Only then did I find that the eunuch party is easy to use.

So before he died, he had to rely on eunuchs to confess his younger brother Xinwang.

Pity.

The new king is relatively simple.

but.

In the current Beiping Mansion, the head of the family is Zhu Di, King of Yan.

Sit in rows and eat fruit.

To be honest, we must abide by the law, and tax evasion is no good.

Therefore, although the mine owner fought privately, he did not show any arrogance later on, reaching the point of being arrogant.

The mine owners in Fangshan District looked at Zhang Dehui enviously.

Eight major mines in the west of Beiping City.

Who didn't know that Zhang Dehui fawned on Yan Wang's mansion, and walked with his nose upturned, so he almost walked sideways like a crab.

"Groundwater can solve the problem, but my business is small and I can't afford a steam engine."

Some people are unwilling to pay hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver.

Afraid of offending Zhang Dehui, he quickly explained.

"The Iron Smelter stopped looking for coal from my family, and my family's business was almost unsustainable. Those people in the mine didn't start working, and there were not many people left."

Zhang Dehui blinked, also feeling embarrassed.

The sufferer came to the door.

He didn't dare to be careless about the errands of Prince Yan's mansion, of course it was the most important thing.

However, in their own business, it is crap to not take advantage of the advantages.

Relying on the power of King Yan's Mansion, he grabbed a lot of business from the iron smelter.

Although the iron smelter still mainly uses charcoal, there is also a lot of demand for coal. If Zhang Dehui's mine sells more, the rest of the mine owners will lose.

The root is still in the market.

Someone came forward, and the owner of the mine next to you said a word, and they all cried out, and there was a tendency to form a group.

It is true that Zhang Dehui has eaten too much recently, so he is not afraid of being full.

"Everyone is an old expert in business, you must have a pattern."

When the eldest son taught him a lesson, Zhang Dehui took it out confidently and taught the other mine owners a lesson.

In the past, there were so many people who were dissatisfied with him and there was a tendency to unite, Zhang Dehui had long been frightened and gave up.

Who can scare him now?
Except Yanwangfu.

On the contrary, everyone should be afraid of him.

He didn't rely on the power of King Yan's Mansion to wipe out all his opponents, it was already the utmost benevolence.

Everyone really looked decadent.

The rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world.

Officially.

No one can beat Zhang Dehui.

They can't help each other, so everyone can only obey obediently.
