Chapter 1478: Deception

"The machine tool drawings are like this. With the drawings, you can produce it yourself. Therefore, the drawings and authorization letters are bundled together. Your country needs to pay a patent authorization fee to the person or group who invented the machine tool in my country before you can obtain the production machine tool. license, and its quantity is still limited.”

"If you ask me, your country doesn't need to buy blueprints, it's better to buy the real thing."

After saying that, he flipped through the booklet in his hand and shook his head and said: "I wonder if His Majesty the Liao Kingdom has told Niu Di Guan how many of the items he wants? In my opinion, your dynasty may not be able to produce so many.

Here comes the money.”

"I'll tell you some prices at random. For example, this iron factory has a daily output of 10,000 kilograms, and buying equipment for 500,000 yuan is about the same."

"And this, the Kuizhou type schooner, suitable for offshore sailing, is not a 20,000 guan ship with an iron keel, but 40,000 guan with an iron keel."

"The mint is a ridiculous suggestion. That thing requires high-end machinery, which is more expensive than machine tools. A mint machine costs 100,000 coins."

"The banknote printing factory is even more exaggerated. It involves ink, plate making, glue spraying, and precise overprinting. I'm afraid you won't be able to adjust the color change of the machine every time it is printed. And the patented projects inside, tsk tsk tsk..."

"This vehicle factory is even more unrealistic. Except for leather, you have to purchase all other workpieces from me. Otherwise, the wheels you produce yourself may not last long."

"But if you want to buy them all, it's not as cost-effective as buying the whole car."

"Huh? And weapons?"

Su You had the hateful face of a foreign businessman who came to invest in China in the early days of reform and opening up, and threw the book back: "Is this the proposal of the Chamberlain? This is too unrealistic, Niu Diguan, are you in the imperial court?"

Who did you offend?"

Niu Wenshu's face turned pale. He really didn't know that these things were so expensive, and many of them came in sets, so he had to buy a bunch of them.

Su You continued: "And there is also very bad news for the local officials. After His Majesty came to the throne, he favored the powerful clan members and divided the Sitong industries. Now they are all in the hands of each family and have become their own.

industry."

"Don't talk about me, even His Majesty can't interfere. And the patent law stipulates that even if the Tianjia wants to license a patent, it must pay the licensing fee."

"If you want these things, you need local officials to go to the guild and talk slowly with them one by one. Whether they are willing to sell them to you is purely business. It depends on your eloquence and money."

Niu Wenshu's face turned even paler.

Su You sighed: "To be honest, the only things in that booklet are medical skills and patent medicines. I can also give you some ideas for Shangshu. After all, the largest pharmacy in the Song Dynasty is in Tianshi Mansion, Xiangguo Temple, Yu

Pharmacy, and my home also runs a small hospital."

"Master Zhang Tianshi is my sworn brother, and my wife has some influence in the medical community of the Song Dynasty. Others... I really can't help you now..."

Niu Wenshu's medical skills are now more painful than taking patent medicines, and Su Situ is too good.

Medicinal materials are basically local products of the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty embargoed them, what if the Liao people learned medical skills? It would be the same if there was no medicine available.

Everything was not available in the Liao Kingdom, and the prices were determined by the Song people themselves. Moreover, from the looks of it, those industries were in the hands of the clan nobles, which was not the same virtue as the Liao Kingdom's dignitaries.

When the Song Dynasty itself did not have a saturated market and its nobles had no worries about selling, it would be too much to expect them to be kind to the Liao Kingdom.

For example, for the Kuizhou type schooner, after the discovery of Dongsheng Prefecture, orders from major shipyards in the Song Dynasty were immediately scheduled for five years. Can the Liao Kingdom still count on it?

After Su You explained all these principles to Niu Wenshu, he touched his chin and pondered for a moment: "Isn't the local official's career also at a critical stage?"

The next step for the six ministers is to become the core of the imperial court. For the Liao Dynasty, that is to participate in political affairs, the third envoy, and the privy envoy.

However, if the mission is not carried out well, then he will be sent to other places to know the state.

Niu Wenshu was very embarrassed. Su You meant that he was in trouble this time.

However, Niu Wenshu had heard about the power of the Su family for a long time. Suddenly, he was so blessed that he cupped his hands and said, "Does Situ have any teachings?"

Su You smiled: "Teaching is not a big deal. The loyal and pure heart of the noble minister is respectable, but he made a serious mistake. He did not consider the national conditions and the overall situation, and expected to become fat in one breath.

.”

"The Liao Kingdom has suffered from famines for years. What is it lacking? Food! Farmland to ensure food supply! Water conservancy to turn wilderness into farmland and protect farmland from natural disasters!"

"You don't first solve the problem of whether you have enough to eat, but you want to engage in maritime trade or the processing industry?"

"Actually, it is easy to refute the theory of the Minister. The local officials can write a letter to your Majesty. Just ask, even if your Majesty gets these things, even if they produce products, sell them! To! Who?"

"I heard that the emperor of your dynasty has a decree that if you transport two thousand shi of grain, you can get an official position. If the local officials can help the Liao Kingdom acquire ten thousand hectares of land and produce two shi per acre, then what position should your majesty reward him with?"

"Industry and commerce are inseparable. Work is equivalent to farming, and commerce is equivalent to harvesting and transportation."

"What's the use of industrial work if business can't be started? If the goods are not sold, there will be no profit. Isn't it equivalent to the food rotting in the ground?"

"But agriculture is different. Without this process, your country would already be short of food, and no amount would be enough."

"Niu Diguan, I think you'd better communicate with His Majesty again. The fundamental problem of your country is agricultural, not industrial and commercial."

"If you don't solve the fundamental problem, you will go crazy on the details. Regardless of the effort, it will be difficult to achieve results. What's more terrible, it may even endanger the root cause!"

"Niudi Guanbie and Shi Shangshu were blinded by so many mechanical ships in the Song Dynasty. What Shi Shangshu may not know is that the annual grain supply to Bianjing in the Song Dynasty has increased from 3 million shi to 1,000 shi.

Ten Thousand Stones!”

"This is the foundation. In the Song Dynasty, it is the foundation that can support the development of industry and commerce and make industry and commerce the icing on the cake of the Song Dynasty."

"In the Liao Kingdom, it can help the people of your dynasty get rid of hunger and solve the fundamental problem of food and clothing!"

"With the kindness of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty of the Song Dynasty, if we make requests in this regard, it will be easy to get approval. And it will not be difficult for your dynasty to turn these technologies into benefits."

"Niu Diguan, this is what a minister of the Ministry of Revenue should do..."

Niu Wenshu suddenly had a sudden enlightenment. No wonder he could become a Situ. His vision was not on the same level. Yes, the fundamental problem is that the only way to solve it is to solve it!

I am from the Ministry of Revenue, why should I run errands for the Ministry of Works? What benefits can I get?

Your Majesty can't stand that old guy Shi Chun, so I'll give him a damn!

He handed over to Su You and said, "Thank you Situ for the tip. I will edit your majesty's book right now."

Su You said: "There is no hurry. The local officials cannot believe my one-sided words. However, the envoys can report to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to apply for inspection of the agricultural model of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty, see the results, and organize the plan.

, it will not be too late to report to the lord of your dynasty again."

"Before I took office in Kaifeng Prefecture, I wrote an article on the agricultural development of sixteen counties in Beijing and Zhou Dynasty. That article can be given to the local officials for review, and then the local officials can also make on-the-spot comparisons based on the inspection methods in it.

With the current development, comparing the two aspects and the research process, we will be able to summarize a lot of things."

"And those things, I believe, will surely be of great use to the local officials in the future."

Niu Wenshu was deeply moved by Su You's selfless internationalism: "Situ has been so kind to me all the time. I am grateful to everyone from the top to the bottom."

Su You shook his head: "Those are all the kindness of the late emperor and the current empress dowager, your majesty, and have nothing to do with me. Don't make mistakes in this section, local officials. If you really want to thank me, then please go through the procedure and express your gratitude in the letter of credence."

.”

Niu Wenshu bowed again: "Yes, that is also necessary."

Su You spread his hands: "Does that mean nothing can be discussed now? Why don't you draft a document and submit it to the Empress Dowager for her approval first?"

"Old Niu, this is a big article, and the things in it are not trivial. I guess given the emperor's quick temper, you have to do some things first."

Taking all this into consideration, Su Situ really hurts people! Niu Wenshu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Su You also gave an idea: "In fact, it is best to choose Wuyuan as the inspection location, because there is both nomadic and agricultural development, which is very consistent with your country's national conditions, but it is too far... Well, wait, it's far away

There is also a place not far from Bianjing that is doing business, Xiangzhou! Xiangzhou is also developing two industries at the same time. Han Chunyan is doing well there, so why not inspect it there."

Niu Wenshu cupped his hands and said: "Although I am a foreign minister, I admire Han Gong's achievements very much. Wen Shu should also pay homage to his auspicious residence."
