Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Wen Shi is actually a smart person. Although he was not from a wealthy family, but following Yuan Tan these years, he can also see Yuan Tan's worried look, so he also understands what the Yuan family lacks.

To put it bluntly, the Yuan family has no shortage of gold, stone, jade, or silk antiques. The Yuan family dare not say how many of these luxuries they want, but as long as they want to produce, they can produce a batch.

That's right, including antiques, as long as the Yuan family's artisans want to produce, they will be able to produce a batch. As long as the antiques from the Yuan family are not too outrageous and can be justified, basically everyone agrees with them The child is antique.

So the Yuan family did not lack these things, but after embarking on the road to becoming a king, Yuan Tan realized that the gold, stone, jade, and silk antiques were just decorations, and what their family wanted were very practical things, namely weapons and equipment, and agricultural equipment. , Things that are expensive to eat and wear are real things.

The Wen family has followed for a long time, that is to say, this kind of thinking. After all, they are all in that environment, and they are effective. Yuan Tan is worried about this and that every day. Go and see if the people below can solve it today. How are the people living here living?

The so-called king of Chu has a thin waist, and the palace is so starved to death. Yuan Tan pays attention to these every day, and the people below are all concerned about people's livelihood. But these things are the things that really fight for the foundation of the country.

The simplest point is that a group of small high-welfare countries in Western Europe and Northern Europe are indeed very successful in terms of per capita GDP, but are they successful countries?

Not counting, they are only the upstream of the overall international industrial chain, control part of the means of production, and have the capital to harvest other industries in the middle and lower reaches, but at any time, they enter an international emergency and extend this emergency for several months. These so-called Successful countries, those countries that can provide high welfare, cannot even guarantee basic food and clothing.

Most of the countries in the world are just failed countries. The difference is that they are playing chess pieces or chessboards. The former is in the hands of others, waiting for the necessary exchange of benefits for the manipulator, while the latter is just beaten all the way.

Wen's view is not so far, but Wen's attitude is very simple, instead of buying things, it is better to buy a factory. The factory produces itself, so you don't have to think about where to buy it from?

This is several levels higher than simply buying finished products from other places, at least it means that most of the products they need can be produced by themselves.

As for the machinery used to manufacture production machinery, such as the production machine, that is the ultimate state, but there is no such barrier at present.

Yuan Tan’s advice to Wen’s at that time was that if the gold could not be exchanged for money, then let his uncle help to set up a gold jewelry shop all over the counties of the Central Plains, and slowly recover the funds. , There is no need to dislike everything that is expensive for food and clothing, just scan the goods, don't be afraid, the Yuan family wants everything.

Iron pots, plows, kitchen knives, sickles, hoes, and agricultural supplies.

Clothes, winter clothes, summer shirts, and tailors shop by shop.

Afterwards, the frame, steering gear, and various mechanical parts, as long as they are standard parts, don’t let them go. If you want what you want, it’s better to buy finished products. Don't let go of the suitable mold or anything...

In short, Yuan Tan's attitude is very clear. Except for luxury goods, you can buy anything. Of course, you can buy as much as you can and take it back. Home is missing.

More than a billion yuan, to buy these things, without Chen Xi's subsidies, you can't buy much. Chen Xi often subsidizes farm tools, because without subsidies, according to the market price of steel, ordinary people can't afford them at all, so Chen Xi directly priced them. If you hang upside down, it's a bonus.

Of course, there is no subsidy for the Yuan family to buy. In fact, many things in the market are not subsidized, and whether there is a subsidy means that the price will be so bad that it will make people lose their minds.

Here I need to talk about a more sane thing, which is about selling salt. This is currently the best government-run industry that Chen Xi has worked on, at least in the eyes of others, because this thing is currently not privately owned...

The entire Central Plains, even Central South, then Southeast, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe consume more than 10 million shi of salt every year, with a net profit of more than two billion yuan. have nothing to say.

Anyway, individuals have to eat salt. At present, salt dealers from all over the country buy the salt at an official price of 200 yuan per stone, and sell it to the common people for 150 yuan per stone.

Because Chen Xi nailed the price of salt to 150 Wen, and Liu Tong’s edict was issued to the localities, nailing certain prices in the past ten years. Unless the second edict is reissued, the price of salt will be 150 Wen in the last ten years. One stone, no matter what, it's the price.

Therefore, the official purchase price is 200 Wen, and the selling price is 150 Wen. At the end of the year, according to the scale of your sale, if you don’t sell it, you will be refunded at 200 Wen. If you sell it, you will be subsidized at 90 Wen per stone.

In this case, as long as the official salt is not sold out, private salt sellers will only lose money. Do you think I am selling salt? No, whoever sells this thing will lose money. Those who sell salt rely on subsidies, and those who sell salt are very happy. With the state as their backer, they don't have to worry about settlement issues.

If you don’t want money, you can directly exchange materials. The country’s material settlement list allows balance accounts. Therefore, many businessmen have recently brought a boatload of salt from the salt field when they have no business. Go back and study the country’s public material settlement manual to find the nearest price-reduced items.

In this case, private want to make money? Wake up, if you don't die, you're going to hell.

The big aristocratic families discovered this situation a long time ago. You often buy three sickles for 30 Wen, and the fourth sickle for 300 Wen. The main reason is that Chen Xi is really not targeting them.

Wen's doesn't understand these things, but because he can get the price list of all materials, Wen's knows that instead of buying these things, it is better to make them himself. Anyway, as long as you can make them yourself, it will be very cheap, and if you can't make them, it will be expensive. I want to scold my mother.

"Do you want to buy it?" Liu Tong's mind is actually very flexible. After Wen Shi opened his head, Liu Tong already understood almost everything later.

"Yes, I want to buy it. The price of a large textile factory is less than 80 million yuan, and it also has 3,000 female workers. In addition to producing wool spinning, cotton armor, and cloth, it can also produce five More than a million sets of clothes..." Looking at the secret magic mirror that Stina opened, Wen Shi didn't know what expression to use.

What Chen Xi gave was a scroll, but later Si Niang was bored, and in order to show that she was also working, she made the content of the scroll into a magic mirror, which looks much better now.

"This factory is only 80 million?" Liu Tong was a little confused? This is unscientific. More than 5 million sets of clothes are worth 300 million, why is it only 80 million.

In fact, this factory does not specialize in the production of clothes. It mainly produces fabrics. The leftover materials are used to make labor protection gloves. After all, infrastructure is being built everywhere. Gloves are really terrible to use, faster than weapons. hair.

"It seems that the above prices are very unscientific, probably less than one-tenth of the price I imagined." Wen Shi looked at the flour mills, sugar factories, food supplement processing factories, etc. Wait, the prices are so low that Wenshi feels incredible.

"Probably the price given to me. I didn't study it carefully at the time." Liu Tong scratched his head, not knowing what to say. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed unbelievably cheap.

"It seems that we can only visit Chen Hou. I hope Chen Hou is willing to sell part of the business to us." Wen Shi reluctantly returned the secret magic mirror to Liu Tong, because the price is low even for Wen Shi. Everyone thinks it's outrageous. Obviously, this is the so-called benefit of the eldest princess. As for the Yuan family, it is definitely impossible to pay this price.

What is the actual situation? In that large textile factory, all the advantages are written on it, and none of the disadvantages are listed, because this large textile factory has no profit at all. Regardless of working at full capacity, it can produce more than five million clothes a year.

It can be spread evenly on everyone's head, and in fact, only five pieces are produced a day. This efficiency is very different from the efficiency of piece-by-minute garbage and black-hearted clothing stores in later generations. In addition to raising so many people, To put it bluntly, this factory is a health care factory used to maintain social stability, recruit more people, and improve national happiness...

By the way, the wages of this factory are relatively low. The average female worker is less than 7,000 yuan a year, and the salary expenditure of the entire factory is only 20 million. The assets of this factory can be worth 20 to 30 million. Well, Chen Xi actually doesn't consider profit.

Anyway, if it can produce something, it can feed so many people, it can operate stably, and there should be no excessive fishing in it.

Then set up a textile city next to it, the money turns around, and it drives another circle, it is perfect, it is impossible to lose money, if you buy it, it is actually impossible to give such a low price, normally you have to charge two to three hundred million, no To lay off people and maintain the status quo, it is estimated to cost 80 million yuan, which can be paid back in ten years...

It's just that this is defrauding Liu Tong's money after all, and Chen Xi is too embarrassed to go too far, so the asking price is mostly in the case of not continuing to recruit people, and the situation of paying back the capital in ten years, anyway, it is agreed that people cannot be laid off. And as long as there are no layoffs, continue to reduce marginal utility, and ensure income and expenditure, Liu Tong may be prosperous all year round, but there is no money...

Naturally, the others didn't know the truth about it, so they could only think that this was the welfare price that Chen Xi offered Liu Tong, because it was too low, unbelievably low.
