This kind of method was regarded as bad in later generations, but it is not common in this world. Of course, it is not unheard of. After all, looking back, this method was born out of Wei Yang's Li Mu Jianxin in the pre-Qin period.

The fact that a method can be used for more than two thousand years shows its effectiveness.

Xue Baochai's eyes suddenly shone when she heard Brother Rong talk about it. As a daughter of an imperial merchant, how could she not have some knowledge. She also knew a lot about the ways of doing business all over the world, and she asked in surprise: "You still know these things?"

"I didn't understand at first, but just seeing you, my mind became more active. All my senses became clear, and all kinds of countermeasures came out of my head." Brother Rong said hehey.

Xue Baochai just smiled. "You can take these words and talk to those two from Dongfu."

"I only spoke from the bottom of my heart when I met you. How can I say it to others." Brother Rong rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Let's first spread out in several major capitals of each province and build warehouses. The others are

There’s no way I can catch up.”

"The idea is naturally excellent." Xue Baochai sighed. But she also had other worries. As the daughter of a businessman, she has read some books, and her understanding of this society may not be as good as that of Jia Rong, who has only been here a few years.

Baochai said: "Such a big move will inevitably involve dealing with the government. If the matter gets serious, it must be reported to the palace. All dynasties only want to maintain stability, so publicize this thing, and within a few months the provincial government and chamber of commerce will start thinking about it."

Build kilns and burn ashes. This is something the palace and the governors of the provinces don’t want to see."

Brother Rong frowned and signaled Baochai to continue.

"The emergence of the Ningguofu Cement Kiln Factory was entirely due to King Zhongshun's reform of the camp. Dayan needed such things, so it allowed Ningguofu to build the factory. But for the imperial court, it was still hoped that these things would be mainly used in the camp.

For flood control and other fortifications, a small part of it can be used among the people. If we promote it nationwide, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction in the palace."

"What a great opportunity." Jia Rong frowned.

Xue Baochai smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "When I was young, I heard my father mention something. At that time, iron frying was very developed in southern Guangdong, and there were tens of thousands of workers in one mine. There were nearly ten large and small mines in just southern Guangdong.

There are hundreds of them. Back then, when the Supreme Emperor came to power, he ordered the governor of southern Guangdong to close all the iron mines in Guangdong Province except for government-run iron mines. Instead, private iron ore mines with less than 500 workers were opened in Lianghu, Sichuan and Chongqing."

"Why is this?"

"Prevent riots and prevent refugees." Xue Baochai said calmly.

Jia Rong couldn't figure out how a large number of people in a mining factory could be related to riots and refugees. "Even so, what does it have to do with our propaganda in the provinces?"

Xue Baochai looked at him sideways and curled his lips and said: "Simple selling has nothing to do with it. If you vigorously publicize it as you said, the world's rich businessmen will ask for tribute and get nothing, what should you do?"

Jia Rong understood what Xue Baochai meant, that is, don't cause trouble, it's more important to seek stability.

"It's a pity."

Xue Baochai saw that Brother Rong was a little decadent, his face was bright and his smile was bright, and he said: "Since I told you so, naturally there is a solution. We don't need to let the Xue family's caravan go to various provinces to build warehouses. We can still do the work of promoting cement.

"It's just a step-by-step approach. We don't want to build a position. Buyers are required to go to Ping'an Prefecture and Jinling to purchase."

"Isn't it a loss to the Xue family?" Brother Rong looked at Baochai in surprise.

"How can we lose the Xue family? The provinces still buy from the Xue family's shops." Xue Baochai gave him a faint look and said angrily: "Do you want buyers from all provinces to block outside the kiln every day? The Xue family's warehouse is built on the outskirts of Jinling.

It will not disturb the kiln factory, but also ensure that others cannot cause trouble."

Jia Rong lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, and what Baochai said was not bad. Although the Xue Family Trading Company has business in various provinces, it is not as safe as in Jinling. Such a big move will make local officials or local squires dissatisfied, but it is not good either.

.

It's better to just let them go to Jinling. Who dares to cause trouble in Jinling City?

It is a pity that Jia Rong has the ambition to build warehouses in all provinces across the country. If we really wait until all provinces across the country have warehouses, what business will not be done? What things will not be done?

I can only wait for a good opportunity later.

"Our baby is still thinking far ahead."

"Your calculations are also excellent." Xue Baochai laughed, looking at this guy rubbing his hands, and couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. He said calmly: "Other places are far away and people are not familiar with them, no matter what happens.

Whatever happens, it’s always us outsiders who suffer and suffer in the end.”

Brother Rong smiled softly and thought, as a result, Heishan Village will also change accordingly. However, it's okay. The Xue family's publicity is only the first one, and there will be chess pieces of the agricultural officials in the future.

Reinforced cement concrete will sooner or later enter the public eye across the country.

Frying iron.

When can Dayan be stimulated to vigorously develop Jiantie.

Xue Baochai seemed to have read through his thoughts and said slowly: "Brother Rong has been in the sky and has his own thoughts. This is a good thing. Now that we have cement, it will be enough. If we come up with other things, King Zhongshun will also

We may not be able to protect both houses."

Why is this girl pouring cold water at this time?

Brother Rong glared at her angrily.

Xue Baochai, however, was not to be outdone, and hummed: "The authorities call it a mystery, and it will be judged by the sidelines. Someone has tried the idea you have had before. Why did the imperial court keep Western wonders in the palace and prohibit them from flowing into the people? In the past, "Wang Zhennong Shu" stated

Why were the rare tools banned and destroyed? Compared to a machine that can weave a hundred kilograms of yarn a day, the imperial court would rather see everyone using a machine that can produce three kilograms of yarn a day."

When Jia Rong heard this, her mind was in a trance.

Yes, it’s not that many things haven’t been made yet, why is the imperial court unwilling to promote them?

He then heard Xue Baochai say: "My uncle has long heard that a man named Newcomen in the West made a flame water pump for mining, and spent a lot of money to bring it to the palace from the west coast. This thing

Instead, it was treated as a demon weapon."

"Flame water pump?" Jia Rong suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart. This strange name reminded him of Western industry.

"Don't say you know him." Xue Baochai smiled and said, "This name was something Baoqin bragged to me when he came back from a trip to the west coast. He said that as long as you add coal and fire below, the stove above can absorb the water from the ground.

come out."

It can work just by adding coal. Why does this thing sound more and more like a steam engine?

It shouldn’t be. Shouldn’t the steam engine be built by Watt? Why did it become Newcomen?

Who is Newcomen?

No matter what his mother's name is.

Whether it's Watt or Newcomen.

For Jia Rong, this is not a good thing.

He secretly gritted his teeth and cursed in his mind: Damn it, the muskets over there are just about to be imitated, and this kind of thing has appeared in the West. We really have to wait for the West to carry out its industrial revolution, and then watch them drive steamships and mount artillery to crush them in the future.
