Chapter 384 I want to open a Chongqing hot pot restaurant! Rolling all over the place
Since Ye Chong and Li Qiu'e joined Yongsheng Trading Company, they always feel like they have been reborn.
Chatting with Zhao Guanren was a big business worth more than 100,000 yuan, which made their legs tremble.
Before meeting Zhao Guanren, they had tens of thousands of yuan, and they had never thought about it.
It is thankful for rural civilians like Ye Chong to earn two or three pounds a year. They have no source of income on weekdays and their families rely on the food they store in farming.
The new policy was even worse before. Most of the food that was worked hard to grow in a year was given to the landlords, and the remaining family could barely starve to death. As for money, what the thing looked like, I had never seen it.
Not to mention widows like Li Qiu'e, they barely struggled on the line of food and clothing that they could not starve to death.
But now, she is the boss of the largest cloth store in the capital.
The poor will be more conservative and cautious when doing things.
Because the poor have nothing, if they are deceived or suffer losses, it is fatal.
Therefore, the poor have developed a thinking pattern that does not take risks or change at will in their minds since childhood.
This kind of thinking pattern is difficult to change quickly, and Ye Chong and Li Qiu'e are both trying to change.
Because they are no longer poor now, one is in textile factories and steam engine manufacturers, and the other is in charge of the most popular cloth stores.
But I was still shocked by the idea that Guanren Zhao today and couldn't calm down for a long time.
In fact, they cannot be blamed at all.
If Xu Churen heard this, he would be shocked to drop his chin.
Since ancient times, cattle have been used for farming, and beef has not been allowed to be eaten in all dynasties.
Emperor, you actually want to eat what farmers plow the fields. What are you not a fool?
Zhao Huan suddenly said: "How is the steam engine making molds done?"
"Officer Zhao, all five large rooms are ready, waiting for construction to start!"
"Start manufacturing, start with pumping water, textiles and digging iron ore."
"good!"
Zhao Huan was relieved to leave this matter to Ye Chong.
The Ye Chong family is a craftsman, but in order to survive, they also farm.
Unlike those scholars, this person has a very strong hands-on ability and is very suitable for the person Zhao Huan is looking for.
The five large-square molds are all the prototypes of the first generation. They can make very primitive steam engines and process the steam engine into a water pump that can pump water. In this way, agricultural irrigation and water accumulation problems during coal mining can be solved.
However, the cost is still very high, so it can only be used in a small range.
Ordinary farmers will definitely not be able to afford it. Grain merchants like Zhu Qing who bought large fields will definitely not buy the steam engine of Huaxing Trading Company to pump water.
Because the court also had its own yamen to make steam engines, Zhu Qing would definitely buy steam engines from the government.
But grain merchants like Zhu Qing have this demand.
Ye Chong said: "Officiale Zhao, I can't figure out one thing."
"What's up?"
"Since the patent rights are ours, the imperial court has to give us money for every steam engine sold, so why do we still have to make our own steam engine?"
Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Because the steam engines made by the imperial court are not necessarily easy to use, we cannot build cars behind closed doors. Huaxing steam engines still need to be improved, and improvements need to be done from practice."
Ye Chong seemed to understand, and he nodded.
Zhao Huan continued: "Besides, the steam engines in the imperial court are definitely not as useful as you do."
Zhao Huan didn't believe that the things made by the Ministry of Works were really good.
All practical tools are driven by practice and purpose.
The Ministry of Industry does not farm, does not weave, and does not dig coal. The things they make are all imagined based on reality. How can there be something that the people use entirely to create with reality as a guide to?
Ye Chong smiled modestly: "I will definitely keep improving!"
Zhao Huan said to Li Qiu'e again: "What's wrong with the spinning room?"
"Don't worry, the five textile rooms are all ready. After Ye Guanren builds the steam spinning wheel, construction can be started!"
"Okay, everything must be fast, because it's not just the idea of using a steam engine as the spinning wheel."
"Um!"
Li Qiu'e focused her head, and as a little woman, she felt her whole body full of passion and blood boiling at this moment.
She felt that what she was doing now was very valuable, and was changing something to make people's lives better.
She couldn't say it, but she felt very proud.
Huaxing Spinning Wheel has made great improvements based on the original spinning Wheel, but now, the steam engine needs to be added to the spinning Wheel. In this way, as long as firewood is added to the steam engine, the steam engine can weave fabrics continuously for twelve hours a day.
This will greatly increase the output and save labor.
Thinking about it, it feels incredible!
This official Zhao is really a god!
"Ye Chong, make sure the yield of sweet potatoes, potatoes and peppers is fast. After the steam pump comes out, throw one here!"
Ye Chong smiled honestly and said, "Don't worry, official Zhao!"
"I still have something to do today, so I won't have a meal with you. Don't be too tired. If you can spend money, you can hire someone to do it!"
If Xu Churen and Tang Ke heard the emperor say this, they would definitely cry silently.
Emperor, you are so kind to these ordinary people. You treat us ministers as cows!
"Thank you, official Zhao, we will send you."
"No need, I'll leave first."
Zhao Huan rode on his horse and suddenly remembered something. He turned to Ye Chong and said, "If you have time, write mechanics into a book, we can take it to the printing club to print and sell it for money!"
Ye Chong was slightly stunned and smiled ashamedly: "I'm not very literate."
"Find someone who knows how to learn to do it for you!"
"good!"
"However, you have to be literate yourself, and you have to do more things in the future. You can't always be illiterate!"
"Yes, don't worry, official Zhao, I have hired a teacher for myself."
"Okay, I'll leave first."
"Give me a visit to Official Zhao."
After saying that, Zhao Huan took a large group of people and left.
This kind of cool autumn weather makes people feel refreshed.
In the Song Dynasty, there was no industrial pollution and the sky was so blue that it did not contain any impurities.
Unlike summer, the clouds in autumn are much less, and the endless blue extends to the end of the sky.
He was confident that the sweet potato business of Yongle Grain Store would ignite the entire Tokyo city, allowing the people of the Song Dynasty to enjoy the taste of roasted sweet potatoes.
When Zhao Huan thought of roasting sweet potatoes, he drooled himself.
I haven't eaten that thing for many years.
He remembered that when he was a child, every autumn, when the weather turned colder, he would make a fire in the fallen leaves at the village entrance and roast sweet potatoes by himself. The taste was more delicious than the food he ate in the restaurant in the future, and more delicious than the delicacies he ate now!
When the sweet potatoes in the palace were ripe, he raised the fire and roasted them himself.
People, as they experience more things, they start to yearn for simplicity.
Soon, Zhao Huan arrived in Tokyo and he began to wander around.
Tokyo City is becoming more and more prosperous. In the early years of Jingkang, Tokyo City had 1.3 million people.
Tokyo City has been expanding for the fifth year, and nearly 700,000 people have been moved in from Gyeonggi Road and other roads.
The consumption of food is greater, but the business is more prosperous. The area of the new city is five times larger than the previous old city!
Today, Tokyo City has surpassed the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty in terms of area.
The population also exceeded 1.85 million at the heyday of Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, the specifications of the new city are more reasonable than those of the old city of Tokyo and the roads are more spacious.
According to Zhao Huan's intention, the Tokyo city needs to be expanded.
The most prosperous one before was the street outside Donghua Gate.
But in the new city, there are also some restaurants and entertainment venues.
Zhao Huan ran to the east district of Xincheng, where there were many newly built pavilions, some of which were grand, some elegant, and some gorgeous.
Zhao Huan said to himself: "I want to open a hot pot restaurant cooked with chili here, which is Chongqing hot pot in the 21st century!"
Chapter completed!
