Liu Yiyi's words gave the problem more ways to deal with it.
Liu Erlang said with a smile, "I think so too. In the future, if the threshing machine breaks down, it will be replaced with a new one. In other places, we can't control it, but in Meiling County, our family's business can't be done.
In addition, I also discovered that in addition to the thresher, I also improved other agricultural tools, such as our plow, which cannot be turned and must be pulled by oxen. If it is pulled by people, at least two people are pulling the plow in front, and one person is holding the plow behind.
Every time I turn at the edge of the land, I have to work very hard and waste a lot of time. If I can make a plow that can be turned directly, and one person pulls it and one person holds it, I can sell it for money"
Listening to the second brother talking about his inner thoughts, the second brother's eyes were full of passion and excitement at this time, as if he had found his life goal, Liu Yiyi was also very happy.
"Second brother, your idea is very good. Plows, spinning machines, looms, etc., improving and creating agricultural tools are indeed a very good way of development. Second brother, if you continue to work hard, you will definitely be able to make continuous progress!" Liu Yiyi encouraged Said, the family has another income.
In order to seize the market, Liu Zhijiang not only asked his brothers to come over to help, but also found several good relations in the village to complete the final assembly.
Those wooden box shells, as long as they can work as a carpenter, can be seen at a glance. Liu Erlang directly handed them over to his master Wang Mazi, and ordered directly from the master.
That thing has no technical content, and an apprentice who has studied carpentry for a year can make it.
A steady stream of threshing machines have been built, first come, first served. Both wheat and rice can be threshed, and many people come to order.
While he was busy at home, Master Li personally brought a reward to Liu Erlang. There are corresponding rewards for improving farm tools or creations.
Originally there were only fifty taels of silver, but Mr. Li paid for it out of his own pocket and directly gave one hundred taels of silver.
Liu Erlang was excited. He didn't expect to be rewarded for improving the farm tools, so he was very excited.
Following Mr. Li, there is also a commercial firm in Fucheng, and the business is doing very well.
Not only do business in Fucheng, but also trade in several surrounding Fucheng, and even further afield.
Steward Zheng said respectfully: "My master took a fancy to the threshing machine and came here to seek cooperation. I wonder if you are interested?"
Liu Yiyi and Liu Erlang looked at each other, and they really guessed it.
Liu Zhijiang was taken aback, nodded, and asked, "I'm interested, but I don't know how you cooperate here?"
"There are two ways. The first one is that you can produce it well and sell it to us directly. However, we need a large quantity. It is estimated that there are more than 2,000 planes per month. The production volume on your side is probably not enough. The second one , that is, if you sell the drawings to us, I will pay a high price." Zheng Guanshi asked.
Before coming, the master personally explained this. After all, this is a farm that even the magistrate praised, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Therefore, no matter what kind of cooperation, it must be sincere, and the money given must also be sincere.
Liu Yiyi stretched out two fingers to her father, reminding him to choose the second way of cooperation.
In fact, this thing started to make money and was imitated by others, so there were not many orders. It would be better to sell the drawings all at once.
"Then how much money is your family willing to pay for blueprints?" Liu Zhijiang asked, if the price is right, he will sell it.
Eat as much food as you have a big stomach.
If you eat less, you will be hungry; if you eat more, you will be full, or even dead.
It is enough for their family to only do business in Meiling County.
Guanshi Zheng thought for a while, "What do you think about eight hundred taels of silver?"
After hearing this, everyone was very pleasantly surprised, especially Liu Erlang, who did not expect to be able to sell such a high price.
Liu Yiyi gestured a "ten". After Liu Zhijiang saw it, he countered the price, "Let's make up the whole number, one thousand taels of silver. If there is any improvement in the future, I will tell you directly, and no money will be charged."
When Steward Zheng heard this, he hesitated for a while, and nodded. Originally, the master said that the price must not exceed 1,500 taels. up.
"Deal, we will sign the contract today." Zheng Guanshi said.
Witnessed by Mr. Li, the Liu family directly sold the drawings to Guanshi Zheng, and also gave three improved threshers for free.
Mr. Li was also surprised, the Liu family could get one thousand taels of silver in one time, plus the previous reward of one hundred taels, it would be one thousand one hundred taels.
Now Fucheng has reported it, presumably FuchengThere will also be rewards on the side.
The magistrate of Fucheng, report to the imperial court.
The imperial court paid special attention to agriculture, because there was grain in the fields and the common people had something to eat, so they would not cause chaos, let alone rebellion.
On the contrary, if you have nothing to eat, you are hungry, you don¡¯t rebel, you don¡¯t make chaos, you can only die faster.
It is like this every time there is a change of dynasty.
The Dajin Dynasty finally succeeded and ascended the throne because of the peasant uprising.
Taizu said that we must pay attention to agriculture.
The performance of officials should be evaluated with the performance of the local population, land output, business, etc., among which agriculture is the most important.
? Work from top to bottom, those above attach importance to agriculture, and officials below who want to be promoted must also attach importance to agriculture.
Good varieties are not so easy to cultivate, and new good farm tools are not so easy to make. Therefore, many officials racked their brains to save money.
Some even reported some uncommon agricultural products such as pumpkins that grew to hundreds of catties. Although they could be rewarded, they could not improve the lives of the local people. Therefore, after being reprimanded by His Majesty, the people below did not dare to continue.
As long as this new type of farm tool is sent up, the magistrate will definitely be able to improve to a higher level.
"Hehe, good, good!" Master Li praised, "Erlang, do it well."
Steward Zheng also smiled and said: "Erlang Liu, if you can improve other agricultural tools and improve efficiency in the future, you can sell them to Zheng's Commercial Bank.
Our master said that as long as it is purchased from your family, all the farm tools will have the words Zheng and Liu written on them. Zheng, represents our Gujia firm; Liu, is the surname of you, the reformer or creator.
In time, the reputation of your Liu Erlang, and even your Liu family, can be spread across the country with these farm tools. "
Liu Erlang was excited by what Zheng Guanshi said.
Improving and creating these farm tools can not only make money, but also make you famous.
There is a broad road ahead, and he will work harder in the future to go further.
"Guard Zheng, I will work hard in the future." Liu Erlang replied, happy and proud.
The Liu family is also very happy.
After Steward Zheng left, Mr. Li did not leave, but came to Liu's house.
Mr. Li took out three admission cards, "This is the name card for Shiro, Goro, and Liulang. It happens to be the beginning of the new year, so I can go to class now and be with my new classmates." (Remember this site URL: www .hlnovel.com
