Chapter 104 Manufacturing Plant

 When Liu Ji returned home after washing his clothes, he found out that someone came to order a waterwheel and stone mill. He was even more excited than Qin Yao.

“That small waterwheel comes in sets of two or three. Can you and Carpenter Liu earn half of it?”

“Half is one, two and a half cents of silver. Counting you two and a half, that’s seven cents and fifty cents. Three of them is two cents and two cents more!”

Liu Ji excitedly threw away a piece of washed clothes and spread it on the bamboo pole for drying clothes, "Madam, our family is about to get rich!"

"How about I stay at home and help you work? We are a family. What you have is mine, and what is mine is yours. Just give me two or three taels of silver every month. I don't want more!"

 The back of his head sank, and the excited Liu Ji let out a cry of pain. When he looked back, Qin Yao was holding a mallet in her hand.

 “Hang your clothes to dry, these are not things you, a house cook, should worry about.”

 Liu Ji rubbed the back of his head, maybe it was swollen, "Madam, what is a househusband?"

 She always comes up with some strange words. Do people in the North talk like this?

Qin Yao: "You are like this, you have to take the seat yourself."

　　Throwing down the mallet, he strode out of the door and went straight to Carpenter Liu's house.

Qin Yao told Shopkeeper Wu what happened, and Carpenter Liu was very excited, but he also thought that someone else might come in the future, "We have to set a certain price, we can't just make it based on the situation every time."

Qin Yao also meant the same thing. She picked up Carpenter Liu’s pen, dipped ink on the waste board and wrote:

 The small waterwheel set starts with three liang, the medium set starts with five or eight taels, and the large set starts with fifteen liang. The specific situation can be analyzed in detail.

 Bring your own stone mill, each mill can save eight coins of silver.

 Note: Within Kaiyang County, delivery and installation are included.

 “What do you think of this pricing?”

Qin Yao handed the board to Carpenter Liu. Carpenter Liu counted it several times on his fingers and nodded, "Okay!"

 Just the two of them, how should they divide the profits in the future?

Qin Yao had thought about it on the way here. If the two of them cooperated and the money was not well divided, they would not be able to work for a long time.

Qin Yao said: "From now on, we will cooperate and open a water mill manufacturing factory. The factory will be divided into three departments for the time being."

“A water tanker department, a stone grinding department, and a reception, installation and after-sales department.”

"You are responsible for the first one, and I am responsible for the second two. Now we each put three taels of silver in the public account. The material fees will be withdrawn from here. After collecting the accounts, they will be filled in the public account. The accounts will be tallied on the 30th day of the month. Calculate the expenses and surplus, and the profit will be half for you and me."

After hearing this, Carpenter Liu exclaimed, "It's wonderful."

“But I don’t know how to settle accounts, so you should be the accountant, Mrs. Qin.” Carpenter Liu said with a sneer.

He usually has no problem calculating small amounts of money, but if it's like Qin Yao said, it's too complicated for him.

Qin Yao nodded, "As long as you can trust me, I have no problem."

Carpenter Liu hurriedly said: "Of course I can trust you. If it weren't for you, Mrs. Qin, we wouldn't be able to build this manufacturing shop. How can I, a little carpenter, hope to turn a waterwheel into a business?"

Qin Yao said seriously: "Without you, a skilled carpenter, I wouldn't be able to make these things. We call each other successful."

“In that case, I will write another contract and ask the clan leader, village chief, and Liu Dafu to bear witness, so that I can have evidence to follow in future actions.”

"Hey, hey, okay." Liu Carpenter sighed again, "Ms. Qin, if you were a boy, it would be terrible." "What? I'm a daughter now, so I'm in trouble?" Qin Yao asked jokingly.

　　Liu Carpenter waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I mean, you are already very impressive now!"

Qin Yao smiled and found it very helpful. She asked for paper and pen, drafted a statement of the rights and interests of the partners' shares, and read it to Carpenter Liu. After he agreed, he wrote it in two copies and sent Carpenter Liu's son to ask for help. Dinner will be at Carpenter Liu’s house.

The village chief was very surprised. He didn't expect that Qin Yao and Liu Carpenter were just making a waterwheel and stone mill, and they did it in such a formal way. Those who didn't know better thought they were doing some big business.

Qin Yao said seriously: "Village chief, the waterwheel and stone mill is a small matter, but if it is done well, it will be a big thing for our Liujia Village."

“Oh?” the village chief asked curiously, “How do you say this?”

Qin Yao said: "There are stone mountains in our village and wood in the forest. We need these two things to build a water mill. If someone comes to us to place an order, will Carpenter Liu and I purchase these raw materials?"

“In this way, the villagers can make profits from the wood that is difficult to sell or sold at a low price.”

"And the stone mountain, although everyone can use it for free, if it can be made into stone mills and sold, for every stone mill sold, we will pay the village 20 yuan for the materials, 20 yuan for one piece, and 20 yuan for ten. One hundred coins is two taels of silver."

“With this money, can the village repair the roads in our village?”

“The road has been repaired and travel is convenient. Will it be convenient for the children in the village to go outside?

“There are many more. For example, if there are too many orders, Carpenter Liu and I can’t do it just by ourselves. Then we must ask the village laborers to help. Will this increase the income for everyone at home?”

The more he listened, the more surprised the village chief and clan chief were. They had never thought of what Qin Yao said before.

If it was true what she said, then the two people looked at each other, and the beards on their faces were trembling with excitement.

 Liu Dafu often goes out and what he said to Qin Yao is completely imaginable.

He is a member of Liujia Village. If the road in the village is built, it will be much easier for him to go to the city to sell grain. He immediately said:

"Mrs. Qin, if there is a need for an oxcart or something like that in the future, just tell me."

Qin Yao nodded gratefully at him and continued: "If a region wants to develop a good economy, it must establish sustainable pillar industries. Only in this way can it firmly grasp the economic lifeline, develop and grow, and throw away the label of poverty. , to achieve a well-off life for everyone.”

 Stop it, stop it!

Qin Yao suddenly woke up. This was not the interview site for the public examination. She couldn't explain it further.

But the half of what she said was enough for the village chief, clan chief, and Liu Dafu to ponder for several nights.

 The more you taste it, the more exquisite it becomes. How could someone be so smart and sum up such empirical principles?

When Qin Yao returned home, it was already late at night, and all five of them, father and son, had gone to bed.

She sat in front of the window, took out the share contract from her arms and opened it. She read it three times before carefully folding it and putting it in the drawer.

 She actually opened a manufacturing factory in ancient times. It’s such a wonderful feeling.

Hmm, we have to give the factory a name. How about calling it Liujiacun Water Mill Factory?

Although it is very common, it carries a regional mark and can promote Liujia Village.

 When she turned around, she told Carpenter Liu to carve the words Liujiacun Water Mill on the water cart.

And she will also carve these words on the stone mill and use this as the signboard of Liujiacun!
