Qi County is suitable for the development of garlic, sesame and herbal medicine industries.
The northern part of this area is dominated by yellow sandy land, which is not suitable for growing food, but it can grow garlic and the soon-to-be-introduced American peanuts.
Garlic is now a specialty of Qixian County. In the future, large-scale peanut cultivation will be introduced, which will definitely turn sand into treasure.
Although there are no peanuts, a large amount of sesame is grown in many counties in the south and south of Qixian County.
In this case, we can first establish the herbal medicine and garlic industry, and set up a grinding and processing factory handicraft industry with division of labor. We plan not to use the original small workshop-style production method, which is too inefficient, but to use the assembly line production method to make pharmaceuticals.
Prepare sesame purchasing channels and expand the sesame paste industry in the near future.
In particular, Qixian County is used as a core area for medicinal material planting, acquisition, and processing, as well as a sauce industry base.
Wang Hongyu led Qin Ling and others into Qixian County, first registered with the county government, and then conducted research and research to find partners for the development of herbal medicine and garlic paste, and participate in the development in the form of dry shares.
The so-called partners are nothing more than dealing with some local matters. In fact, officials are most suitable to work with the landowners who originally operated the farms. This can reduce trouble in collecting land, taxation, labor services, and the relationship with the local area.
The officials of Qi County first despised and were wary of Wang Hongyu and his party, especially Mr. Liu, the magistrate of Muxian County, who had a domineering attitude and did not take these businessmen from other places seriously at all.
Wang Hongyu first bought a street-front property on the main commercial street to show his business strength, so that some officials felt that they could cooperate. Then Mr. Liu, the magistrate of Mu County, was still defiant and was then entered into the county library and had sex with the Hunhe Army.
Slap in the face.
The county magistrate Mu Yizhi was shocked by Wang Hongyu's library and the Hunhe Army. According to Ming Dynasty laws, military generals and troops must obtain permission from the court to leave their original places. When moving across the border, as soon as they enter the county town, they must go to the government office as soon as possible, and the county government reports
Prepare.
Firstly, they were afraid of causing local commotion, and secondly, the local government had to arrange food and accommodation for the army in advance. The local government was also obliged to prepare food and grass for the army in advance. It was impossible not to send someone to the county government to report such a major event.
The county magistrate Mu Yizhi called Master Liu and asked him if he had come to the county government office in advance to report before the army entered the city. The master thought that the day before yesterday, he had a private meeting with a close friend, and the government servant came to report that a soldier had reported. Master Liu didn't listen and asked the government servant
Sent away.
Master Liu thought that the etiquette that soldiers did not understand must not be a greeting gift, otherwise the government officials must have brought a greeting gift. He had forgotten about it a long time ago, let alone connected the army with businessmen.
Master Liu is not an official, he is just a down-and-out scholar, and he has an employment relationship with Magistrate Mu. He has no hope of entering the officialdom in this life. He only knows how to make money. In Qixian County, he is one person below ten thousand people.
Magistrate Mu read the registration procedures at the registration office and found out that it was General Wang Hongyu, whom Tianqi valued and praised by the people. He immediately prepared food and lodging for the Hunhe Army and prepared follow-up provisions for the army.
Magistrate Mu asked Wang Hongyu to forgive Qixian for waiting for the hero who was ordered to go south. From the magistrate Mu Yizhi to the gentry, county officials, and government officials, they all were shocked by Wang Hongyu and took remedial measures.
Master Liu was immediately kicked out and driven away. The county officials, landlords and gentry immediately fawned over Wang Hongyu like chameleons.
Magistrate Mu personally took the initiative to set aside two thousand acres of uncultivated sand for Wang Hongyu to manage, and agreed to recruit people to engage in sesame, garlic and herbal medicine business.
Magistrate Mu allowed county officials to participate in the event in their own name. Wang Hongyu first set up a shop to engage in the business of collecting herbs, sesame seeds, and garlic. Then he prepared to build a processing factory, and all procedures were simplified from complexity.
Wang Hongyu left more than a dozen people behind. With the participation of county officials, the participation of large local households, and more than a dozen households of veterans, they jointly formed the backbone of plantations, factories, and shops. Other personnel were recruited locally, and those who were landless and unemployed were given priority.
I bought a two-story building facing the street diagonally opposite the county government office, with a courtyard attached behind it, and set up a bookshop to sell books and paper.
He also bought a piece of land on the river bank specifically for setting up a paper mill, and took advantage of the rich local resources of sesame straw, cotton straw, willow and poplar trees to set up a paper mill and printing shop.
Of course, the water mill must be built by the river. Water power is inexhaustible. Maybe that day, Wang Hongyu will be interested and make use of water power.
Now it is only used as a driving force, that is, a hydraulic stone mill.
Hydraulic stone mill is mainly used for grinding herbal medicine.
There are certain regulations for the production of Chinese herbal medicines such as pills, powders, ointments, elixirs and other patent medicines. There are certain regulations for each link of planting, harvesting, drying, purchasing, preserving, crushing, grinding, dispensing, and forming and packaging of medicinal materials.
In order to keep the production schedule and the confidentiality of the prescription, the assembly line production method must be adopted, and grinding is a key link.
If you want to grind a small amount of herbs, you can grind them with iron pills:
The iron medicine grinding boat-shaped iron product, equipped with an oblate grinding tool, is one of the traditional medicine grinding tools in my country. It can be used to grind medicinal materials into fine flour for further making pills, powders, ointments, elixirs and other patent medicines.
In ancient times, rollers, stone mills, pestles, etc. were used to crush medicinal materials into powder. Due to the different shapes, sizes and textures of medicinal mills, the objects and uses of medicinal materials were also different.
A large amount of common medicinal materials are ground using water wheels and stone mills or human or animal power stone mills.
Since hydraulic stone grinding is used, of course, human stone grinding will not be used.
Water power is used in spring, summer and autumn, and animal power is used on some days in winter. Some days are too cold, so it is best to stop work and rest.
】
This is the beginning of the Lesser Cold Season, and the coldest season in Qixian County is still very scary, especially since it is not as convenient for coal mine development as Beijing and Baoding.
As for the grinding steps using different grinding equipment, medicinal materials rating and screening, cleaning and drying, the drying degree of different medicinal materials, grinding fineness, and further grinding of the residue, we provide guidance so that no residue is left.
Whether it is planting, harvesting, drying, purchasing, preserving, crushing, grinding, dispensing, or forming and packaging of medicinal materials, all must be carried out in strict accordance with the regulations without any negligence.
What is more important is division of labor and cooperation.
It is not a master-apprentice style, where one person takes over the entire process and monopolizes the "craft", but some people specialize in drying and harvesting, some specialize in crushing and grinding, and some specialize in dispensing, forming and packaging.
Division of labor and cooperation are the methods of later generations, and Ming Dynasty's responsibilities must also be combined among people.
Craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty had to strictly control everything. Not to mention guns and weapons, even the fired bricks and stones had to be engraved with the name of the craftsman. If there were any quality problems, they would be discovered upon inspection.
Therefore, even if we use the modern division of labor and cooperation, we must also use the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty for life.
Then formulate the standards for each step and its reward and punishment system.
On his 2,000 acres of unmanaged sandy land, part of the herbs grown can supply one-third of the workshop's production capacity.
The rest can be expanded according to the price of herbal raw materials when the price is low, but most of the time the production capacity should be used for sauce production.
