"If you have money, you can do whatever you want!"
The senior brother looked at Ren Pingsheng's thunder and couldn't help but think.
Among the people he came into contact with, Ren Pingsheng was definitely not the most talented in martial arts. Even because of his age, his martial arts training results were not as good as those of young talents in their prime.
However, with the blessing of Chao's ability, Ren Shengsheng's cultivation speed simply exceeded his imagination!
In just six months, his martial arts cultivation has almost caught up with his senior brother who has been practicing martial arts since childhood.
And if this continues, it will only be a matter of time before we surpass him.
This hit him hard and once again deeply realized the importance of money.
"The bone training stage is actually about penetrating strength into the bones, polishing the bones to become tougher and crystal clear, and polishing them into steel and iron bones!
After the strength is trained into the bone marrow, it can enter the next stage of blood transfusion - this is also the highest level that we are pursuing with Mang Niu Jin. By then, the body has locked up the energy and blood, and can prolong life and stay old even if it is
At the age of eighty or ninety, he is still in good health and his strength has not diminished.
In fact, the bone training stage is a process that lays the foundation for the blood exchange stage. Just like laying the foundation, it is also the slowest and least efficient stage among the various stages of our martial arts training."
Lan Feng was not in the mood to have a lengthy discussion with Ren Ping this time, and directly began to teach the boxing techniques in the bone training stage.
This boxing technique is wide open and close, and the force is extremely fierce. Every move is so powerful and heavy that every step will crack a brick.
Ren Pingsheng also used a miniature camera on his collar to record all the details of the fist movements, the matching breathing techniques, and the energy guidance techniques.
After practicing a few more times, and finally after a few more beatings, Lan Feng felt that there was no problem anymore, and gave him the food and medicine prescriptions for the bone training stage before being let go by Ren Pingsheng.
"There have been a lot more businessmen in the city recently."
On the sedan chair going to the county government office, Xiaowan opened the curtain and occasionally saw businessmen walking by in twos and threes.
These people are easy to identify.
"These people are all here for the new textile machines."
Ren Shengsheng sat cross-legged and looked at a page of paper in his hand.
It records prescriptions such as "Tiger Bone Ointment", "Strengthening Bone Paste", "Strengthening Bone Grass", etc. There are also some small notes in it, which introduce the medicinal materials needed for this prescription, as well as the preparation method, and
The approximate amount of silver needed, as well as the experience after taking the medicine, etc.
Every prescription above seems to be made of money, and the ingredients for many prescriptions are difficult to assemble. Although there are substitute medicinal ingredients, the effect of the finished medicine will be greatly reduced.
After putting away the prescription, Ren Pingsheng also came over to look at the street scene outside.
At this time, Changning Street, not far from Zhong Street, was filled with a large number of stalls, large and small, and a large number of cloths were placed on the stalls for sale.
The merchants who came from afar were picking at the stalls, looking for more beautiful patterns, more comfortable textures, more bright colors, etc.
“During this period, dozens of textile workshops opened in the city, and a large number of idle workers were recruited into the textile workshops.
The workshops work overtime to spin cotton yarn, and then weave it into cloth, which is wholesaled to the hands of these stall owners, and then distributed from here to surrounding places, almost forming an industrial chain.
Xiaowan, let the sedan stop at Zhong Street and let’s go down and take a look.”
Ren Pingsheng said.
Soon, the sedan passed by the stone bridge and stopped under it.
Ren Pingsheng and Xiaowan got off the sedan.
The river gurgled across the stone bridge. There were not a large number of vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road. Changning Street, which was several hundred meters long, almost became a street selling cloth.
Ren Pingsheng took a closer look and saw that there were both linen and cotton cloths. Some of the cloths felt similar to the old coarse cloths he had bought before.
The patterns and colors of the cloth are also bright and beautiful, which is very eye-catching.
"During this period, we sold a lot of textile machines, as well as the cloth produced by our own Qixing Textile Factory, which earned us a lot of money."
Looking at these, Xiaowan's eyes were also very happy. From the textile machine to the Qixing Textile Factory, the money coming in was like running water, even though the young master spent a lot of money on construction in Qingcheng Town.
It can also ensure that the numbers on the books continue to grow!
Ren Pingsheng walked towards the small alley in the distance, while Xiaowan followed him, looking at some newly opened textile workshops in the alley with curiosity.
"The beginning of advanced productive forces will inevitably plunder huge amounts of wealth. Moreover, it will also create new rules."
Ren Pingsheng looked at each textile workshop and said to Xiaowan.
He stands in the lower reaches of history and looks back upstream. There are many ways to plunder wealth.
And with his current military strength, he can promote these things to happen without any scruples.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic needs of human beings!
The importance of textiles is naturally self-evident.
According to historical experience, the changes in textile technology brought about by textile machines will accelerate the rapid development of the handicraft industry and absorb more manpower into workshops. With more people under their control, the strength of businessmen will also be improved.
improve.
This will give birth to a new class - the bourgeoisie.
And relatively, when a large number of workers gather together, they will also form a sizable force - the working class.
These new classes, which are lagging behind in vigorous development, will also have their own strong political demands.
If he can grasp it well, as a promoter of the birth of a new class, Ren Pingsheng will be born to become the representative and leader of these people.
This is also the reason why Ren valued textile machines throughout his life.
"Chen's Textile Workshop."
Walking into an alley, Ren Pingsheng saw a big sign hanging at the door of a courtyard. At this time, the door opened, and it was just after work at noon. The workers who came out in twos and threes, most of them were female workers, and they were ready to go home to do some work.
The meal is gone.
Looking at the happy faces of these female workers, it is obvious that they are satisfied with the work in the workshop.
"Most of them are women."
Xiaowan said.
Ren Pingsheng nodded and said: "Men farm and women weave. It is normal that there are more women in the textile industry."
"Master, why did you come here? You didn't tell me in advance."
Pan'er happened to walk out of the door and saw Ren Pingsheng and Xiaowan walking to the door.
"Xiaowan and I came here to take a look at the textile workshops in this area. Does this Chen's Textile Workshop belong to your family?"
Ren Pingsheng asked.
"My grandfather invested in it. He spent half his life's savings to open this workshop. I came here to see if the quality of the yarn is good. If possible, I plan to buy some to make clothes."
Pan'er now has endless orders, and the tailoring workshop he owns is much larger than Tailor Chen's textile workshop.
"Go in and have a look."
Ren Pingsheng walked into the yard and looked around in each room. The spinning wheels were placed there very neatly. In the basket next to them was the cotton yarn spun by the weavers this morning.
"Hey, boss, do you still need to look at it? The workshops in this area are basically imitated from the Ren family's workshop.
The Ren's spinning wheels they bought were all from Renjiazhuang.
Among the textile workshops, the largest one is Qixing Textile Factory."
Pan'er couldn't help but ask when she saw Ren Pingsheng looking at these spinning wheels carefully.
"Only by taking a closer look at the situation in the industry can we formulate corresponding supportive policies. You also think that our textile industry in Qingcheng Town can flourish and sell cloth to various places, right?
Tell me, how many people are here? How much do you pay the workers every day?"
Ren Pingsheng explained briefly and asked.
"Our workshop is small, with only about 20 people. Each person earns about 20 copper coins per day. It depends on how much cotton yarn they spin. Some are more, some are less, but it is always better than before.
The efficiency is nearly ten times higher!
Nowadays, women can also go out to make money, and they can be tough when talking at home! Unlike before, you can only act based on the face of the shopkeeper at home."
Pan'er introduced in detail.
"Well, do you know how many workers there are in this area?"
Ren Pingsheng asked.
"There are more than 30 large and small workshops in this area alone, with about a thousand people, and some men also come to the workshops to learn spinning when they see the money to be made.
After the wheat harvest period, I think more workers will be needed.
There are still many textile workshops waiting to be launched!"
Thanks to the exemption of many miscellaneous taxes, the officials in the yamen are much more honest than elsewhere. There is no such close political and business relationship in the entire Yuntai County.
Therefore, the business atmosphere in Qingcheng Town is now very strong. Not only people from Qingcheng Town, but also businessmen from other places come to inspect every day. After seeing that the textile industry can indeed make money, they consider opening a workshop in Qingcheng Town.
"Master, will this affect the farmland outside the city in the future?"
Xiaowan suddenly asked worriedly.
This is also an issue that has to be considered. The current agricultural productivity is not enough, and it is a small-scale farming economy with intensive farming. Once a large number of people are attracted into the workshops, it is likely to delay production and affect food output.
Moreover, the downstream textile industry's demand for cotton, linen, wool, silk, etc. has increased significantly, which will inevitably be reflected in prices. It will also cause some people in the upstream to abandon food cultivation and switch to cotton, linen, mulberry trees, etc., and then there will be
Seriously affecting food production.
Once there is not enough food on your territory, you will definitely fall into passivity in the future.
"Food must be guaranteed. This is the first problem. Food cannot give way to anything. These must be regulated by law.
However, this does not delay our layout in the textile industry. In the name of Qixing Textile Factory, Xiao Wanqi invited all those in Qingcheng Town who are engaged in the textile business, as well as those in Qingshui County who are interested in entering the textile business, and we set up a chamber of commerce."
Ren Pingsheng now plans to make good use of the textile industry and ambush in advance, at least to fully control the voice of this industry in his own hands, so as to further expand his influence.
