Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

But these businessmen don't have to do anything, but they can make a lot of money, which is really uncomfortable.

"This is business, this is the charm of the free market. If you don't do anything, someone will do it. If others do it and it is profitable, but you do it but it is not profitable, then you can only leave it to others. Do it.”

Ning Fan smiled lightly.

The process of primitive accumulation of capital is very painful. Of course, it is necessary to rely on these low-end commodities to complete the primitive accumulation of capital. Ning Fan knows this better than anyone.

There is no obstacle to letting these businessmen make some money at this stage. When Dakang's industrial gears start to turn completely, a large number of industrial products will become scarce goods. At that time, the buyer's market will completely turn into a seller's market. .

At that time, various industrial products were so sophisticated that Ning Fan could not believe that these products could not earn high profits.

"But Your Majesty, can't we just make some things that are unique to Dakang? We have the pricing power for these things, and they will pay as much as we say."

"Unlike things like silk soap, although we also have certain skills, other places can still make them. If they don't buy ours, they can go to other places to buy it."

Ergou sees things through.

Hearing what Ergou said, Ning Fan snapped his fingers, nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this anymore. Call Shen Mengxi here tomorrow. I'll give him something. I'm sure it's unique and can help me make a lot of money in the future." Earn huge profits and this thing will definitely become popular around the world.”

Of course, if you want to make money, you have to earn money from the rich. Ordinary people don't have much wealth, and even if they are squeezed dry, they won't be able to squeeze out much money.

But the world is so big, and there is a wealthy class in every region. These wealthy people hold more than 90% of the wealth in this region.

To earn money from these rich people, two methods must be used. The first method is to plunder through war.

This method wastes people and money, killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred to himself. Naturally, Ning Fan doesn't bother to do it. The second method is actually capital harvesting.

In the era before Ning Fan traveled through time, the primitive accumulation of capital harvesting relied on opium, which was addictive. But now Ning Fan does not want to rely on that kind of thing, but has come up with many different methods. .

Glass is the most high-end thing that Ning Fan can think of and can produce at the moment, because glass is almost unique in this world.

As long as a variety of glassware can be produced, I believe its value will definitely reach a new height, and a large number of exports will definitely earn Dakang huge wealth.

The next morning, Shen Mengxi came to the palace early to meet Ning Fan.

Shen Mengxi is very busy these days, but not too busy, because he does not need to worry about specific matters. He is only responsible for giving an idea, and then the researchers under him will continue to conduct research and experiments based on this idea.

Of course, this is also the idea given by Ning Fan.

As the saying goes, many people row oars to sail a big ship. Some things cannot be completed by one person. It may take a lifetime for one person to study and study one thing.

But if a team does something, it will not only be more efficient and less time-consuming, but it will also often do a better job.

I don't know when the team thinking taught by Ning Fan has penetrated into Shen Mengxi's bones. No matter what topic he studies or what he makes, he is accustomed to gathering people who are good at it to form a team. team.

"Your Majesty, the lathe has encountered a bottleneck recently. There is no lubrication between the gears. Things will soon break due to wear and tear, and the life of the lathe will be greatly reduced."

Shen Mengxi frowned. In order to solve this problem, he had been thinking hard for a long time, but he still couldn't think of any solution. In desperation, he thought of Ning Fan.

"What methods have you tried?"

Ning Fan looked at Shen Mengxi with a half-smile.

"It's not possible to use oil. It's okay to use paraffin wax, but the paraffin wax is consumed faster."

Shen Mengxi was quite troubled by this problem.

"Then go and experiment. If you look for a lot of things, there will always be something that can continuously lubricate the gears."

Ning Fan actually knows that real lubricating oil is extracted from petroleum, but it is impossible to extract the things in petroleum with the current level of chemical industry. What's more, with the current drilling technology, it is also a fantasy to extract oil from the ground.

"Come and take a look at this thing, go back and have it studied, and then bake it quickly."

Ning Fan gave the glass formula to Shen Mengxi.

After Shen Mengxi looked at it carefully, she didn't know what the thing Ning Fan was talking about was used for.

"Do you know about colored glass cups? That's what colored glass is actually. When you go back and have people bake it into shape, what comes out will be a viscous liquid, but you need blowing technology to make it into a useful cup, etc. , these things require skilled craftsmen to explore.”

Ning Fan didn't go into too many details, because Ning Fan himself didn't know much about the details.

Being able to tell Shen Mengxi the glass firing technology is the limit of what Ning Fan can do. If glass can be mass-produced quickly, glass products will quickly occupy the market in the future, and by that time, it will bring great profits to Dakang. would be unimaginable.

"You remember, once this thing is produced, you must not lower the price. It must be expensive."

Ning Fan warned again and again.

Three things are needed to produce glass. The first is sand, the second is limestone, and the third is soda ash.

As for soda ash, alkali ores are actually found in many places, and alkali ores do not need to be drilled very deep. They can be collected in the open on the surface.

What's more, even if you use plant ash to make something like soda ash, it's not too troublesome.

"Your Majesty, after this thing is produced, it will be a bit similar to ceramics as you said. I think its value should not be that great."

Shen Mengxi was a little hesitant, because judging from the production method of this piece, it was really troublesome to make glass.

"Don't be afraid of trouble. This thing is the basis of industrialization. All kinds of measuring cylinders, measuring cups, test tubes, etc. that will be needed in chemical laboratories in the future will need to be made of glass. Without transparent glass, it is impossible to do chemical experiments."

Ning Fan was too lazy to say too much. There were many things that Shen Mengxi needed to experience for herself.
