Dress to be a celebrity

"Based on agriculture, combined with industry and commerce".

Treating industry and commerce favorably can also benefit farmers.

Mr. Song, the first contemporary political economist, briefly explained the principle of social division of labor to Xiong Yushi, who had just come from Beijing and was still under the oppression of feudal ideology. Further analysis and explanation were made.

Xiong Yushi also felt that his industrial park was beneficial to the country, and that doing business would not harm the farm capital. When he first heard his words, he had no conflicts in his heart and accepted them very naturally.He even unconsciously raised his hands and applauded, and even praised his rigorous and well-organized argumentation.

He was boasting, but he suddenly felt something strange—is Mr. Song elevating craftsmen too high?

When the DPRK and China were in dispute over his economic park, some officials also put forward the statement of "promoting business and benefiting agriculture" and "promoting agriculture, capital and business", but no one mentioned "work" in the debate.In the Song Dynasty, the work of craftsmen was singled out, and it was called "industry", thinking that if the industry was built in a large scale, it would be able to enrich the country and the people, and it could be called together with the two industries of agriculture and commerce.

He subconsciously looked at Song Shi, just as Song Shi picked up a spring that was as thick as an arm from the basket of finished products on the side, and handed it to him: "When Mr. Xiong came today, he could feel the difference in the carriage he was riding in compared to other places." ?”

Of course it is not bumpy - isn't this because the road is good, and the spring is installed?When they left, they had to go back and install a few springs on the carriage, so as to avoid bumps in the future.

Song Shi nodded with a smile, told him about the effect of springs on damping shocks, and then asked him: "If the carriages are equipped with such springs, will it be less likely to break when using this cart to transport glass and porcelain?"

This is natural.This car is more stable than a person carrying it on his shoulders and hands. When there are dirt holes on the road, he only feels a little bumpy, and he doesn't feel the pain of being hit hard by his body.

Song Shi laughed and said: "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Don't merchants rely on carts, horses and farm tools to transport goods and farmers to cultivate? These are all made by workers, so let's call them collectively" Tools’. Whether the tool is good or bad, can it affect the profit of the merchant and the harvest of the farmer?”

Of course you can...

Xiong Chi took the spring and pressed it, but felt that it was so hard that he couldn't press it down with his hand, and couldn't pull it apart.He is also a good man in the prime of life, if he does not move the hammer head, he may not be able to bend such a spring.But these workers don't look very strong, and they don't swing hammers. They can bend the steel wires so evenly and well with just that machine. What's so special about that machine?

He walked to the lathe, squinted his eyes, and wanted to look down, but Song Shi quickly pulled him back.

Xiong Chi was surprised and said: "Is this instrument not allowed to be seen?"

It's not that people are not allowed to see it, but your beard is too long.

The rotating shaft of the curved spring is rotating at a high speed, if his beard is rolled up when he leans over, and the pedaler on the side has no time to recover, his good beard will be ripped off.

Song Shi asked someone to fetch the cotton rope and the mask, and asked him to tie his beard neatly and put the mask on his chin before looking at the machine.If you have bad eyesight and cannot see clearly, you can ask someone to get a magnifying glass.

Xiong Yushi has been studying for many years, and his eyesight is always a little weak, so he asked for a magnifying glass, equipped it according to what he said, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to make such a small item. No wonder I often walked into the economic park. Seeing some workers wearing masks, it seems that they have the same troubles as lower officials. The workers in this room are all young, and they are afraid that the old beards will grow and they will accidentally get involved in this machine."

Not all of them were young, and some of them took the initiative to pick them.

"There are very few people with beards in the economic park. I am afraid that if the beards grow long, they will be sucked in by the machine, or they will be burned by the high heat when burning coal and ashes. It is not safe. If you want to grow beards, you have to be like Brother Xiong every day." These craftsmen make a screw and get a commission, so why would they spend time tidying up their beards? Most of them are shaved directly, and those who are not completely shaved leave only short mustaches."

However, based on his aesthetics, it is still refreshing to pluck his beard.

Song Shi touched his clean-shaven chin, and spoke for their beardless party: "However, Brother Huan and I don't think it's easy to shave our beards on weekdays. .”

When he said this, he was also radiant, his eyes were bright, and his face was as transparent and joyful as jade, which made people feel ashamed.

No wonder people can nod the champion.

No wonder he was so favored, and it didn't matter if he got involved in the battle for the establishment of the reserve.

No wonder he is a beautiful young man with red lips and white teeth, who is respected and loved in those Zhugong tunes, pur singing, and Zaju.

No wonder people can call them Youqian Du Yushi Shoushen for so many years and refused to get married... This has nothing to do with him, so don't think too much...

Xiong Yushi stroked his beard in order to show dignity and majesty in the court, and sighed: "Master Song is right. Even though the lower official is only five or six years older than Lord Qian Xian, because With this beard, I seem to have reached middle age."

He asked himself that he was also a young man who hadn't reached the stage yet, only this beard was added, but now he looks like he is a generation older than Huan and Song.Wouldn't it be embarrassing to climb a mountain with a stick in the future and meet a child somewhere and mistake him for an old man?

Otherwise, he would go back and trim his beard, and keep it shorter.

Xiong Yushi seemed to be very mature at such a young age, and he had a lot of emotion; Mr. Song had the opposite problem with him, he only hated himself for being young and senior, and not being able to put on airs of elders in front of his junior brother.

The generation gap between the two is too deep, Mr. Song doesn't know how to comfort him, so let's continue talking about his spring.

This steel wire is extremely strong, and it is extremely laborious to bend a uniform spring. If a craftsman were to do it himself, he might not be able to make a few in a day, and the ones he made were not so uniform and easy to use. Ordinary people would not use them. started.But in their factory, only a few people need to work together, and they don't need to learn how to blacksmith or have special strength. As long as they do their jobs well, they can produce hundreds of springs a day.

On average, how much lower is the cost of this spring than that made by craftsmen?The other goods in their economic park are the same. If such factories are built everywhere in the future, all the products produced are of high quality and low price, and the people earn the same amount of money every day, but have more things to buy. Wouldn’t they feel richer? ?

People have plenty of food and clothing, and they can buy the household utensils they want with a little frugality.

Xiong Yushi squeezed the magnifying glass in his hand, and when he remembered the ride in a car that was not bumpy, he squinted his eyes and asked, "According to what your lord said, these springs are actually extremely cheap?"

Yes, although the cost of workers and machines has to be added, they are not a black-hearted enterprise, and a spring will cost two, three or four times the profit.The cost of this steel wire is about three cents of silver per catty, and the ex-factory price of a spring is only one cent and five cents. It can cost tens of taels of silver to build a large car, and any car can afford it.

The embarrassment Xiong Yushi had when he wanted to ask for springs was wiped off immediately, and he said vigorously: "When I leave, I will definitely bring dozens of springs from my lord, and I will walk all over the three mountains and five mountains. Use this car instead!"

Song Shi nodded and said: "When Brother Xiong sets out, I will have Cheng Yi as a gift."

Not to mention sending dozens of them, it's not a problem to send dozens of catties.It is equipped with a double-wheeled cart, a bundle of climbing picks, a few small carts with swivel wheels that are necessary for mining in the mountains, and a few palace lanterns with thick glass shells that have been dropped, and the lighting at night is brighter than that of a sheep's horn lamp.

Xiong Yushi shrugged it off a bit, seeing that he sincerely wanted to give it away, and it was all things that he needed to enter the mountain and couldn't buy outside, so he was ashamed to accept it, thanked him first, and planned to thank their lord Qian Xian later.

It must be Qian Xian who spoke for him behind his back, and Master Song entertained him so attentively.

Otherwise, if he went out to explore the mines like this, it would take him many years to return to the center, and it would not be a meritorious service if he went back, and he might not be rewarded for promotion. Why should such a person who is in the emperor's heart care so much for him?

It would not be against the order to send them out of Hanzhong even if they were only taken to Tiantai Mountain to see the mine ore, and then find a few ore rocks as samples.Why should I personally pick him up and take him to this economic park, and patiently teach him from the theory of "enhancing business and benefiting agriculture" to the method of "division of labor" in building an economic park?

Compared with the new theory in his heart that can change the way of making utensils in the world and make "industry" a career that enriches the country and stabilizes the people, the economic park he built before him and the things made in the park are nothing.

This economic park is too small to satisfy his ambitions, and I'm afraid it can only prove the claws of his industrial plans.Xiong Yushi recalled that when he set off in Beijing, he was still entangled in discussing whether to build an economic park. He said to Song Shi: "Master Song should really write this idea of ​​doing a lot of work to benefit agriculture and commerce and spread it to Beijing. In the middle, let the ministers of the capital know your mind."

Song Shi nodded and smiled, a bit of arrogance suddenly appeared between his brows and eyes, which was very different from his usual gentle and friendly image, but it added a bit of a celebrity aura to him.

"What I will tell Master Xiong today, I will also talk to the ten angels who came to Hanzhong, and I will talk to Hanzhong students, Hanzhong workers, peasants and business people. It doesn't matter if the adults in Beijing think it makes sense, or if you want to refute me, Song Song A certain one was already prepared to answer the questions."

He printed dozens of articles of the political economy version of "The Wealth of Nations", and he simply didn't wait for the holidays. After the office was over, he recruited students to his own mansion to teach in small classes, lecturing on the importance of industrial development and commodity circulation. .

He even printed the thesis into a book and sent a copy to relatives, friends, teachers and classmates in Beijing and China.

Huan Ling also wrote to his teacher and his colleagues in the Imperial Academy, praising this essay in Song Dynasty as the first essay on economy and people's livelihood since Dazheng.

This article was summed up from their experience in building an economic park and developing Hanzhong, and extracted the most fundamental and practical parts of it. Although he watched this article being written, he still feels new feelings every time he rereads it.

Combined with the new situation of Hanzhong's increasing prosperity and prosperity, it can even be concluded that if the method can be used well, the country will be rich and the people will be safe, and the agriculture will be solid and the country will be peaceful.

His article was written more vigorously than when he praised Song Shi's talent, learning, and generosity in Beijing, and Song Shi himself was ashamed to read it——

How did he get that paper? Does he not know?Huan Ling also watched from the beginning to the end, and he was able to close his eyes and boast so much that he didn't even dare to admit it.

He covered his face and said, "Why don't we cut this article a bit before sending it to Beijing? The two of us have been making a fuss over the years, do people in Beijing know that you are me...? You praise me so much, people It can be seen that you have been instigated and threatened by me..."

"There are people who laugh, that's because they are laughing at their subordinates, Mr. Song, don't worry." Huan Ling replied quickly, pretending to be serious, and before Song Shi could respond, he kissed him with a smile, blocking his voice. The "huh?" raised at the end

"This economics has never been discussed before. Your writing is good, and what you write is in line with today's world. Why don't I praise it. I'm afraid that Brother Fang and the others will praise it more powerfully than me, and you won't be able to show the current status." My son is the closest to me."
