Chapter 3961 His Highness the Princess found a blind spot
Chen Xi started out as an agricultural machinery, not simply to improve production efficiency, but to liberate more people. Only by liberating from the heavy agricultural labor can he have more time to carry out industrial labor.
Therefore, not to mention that it is only more than twenty times more expensive, even the iron curved plow that was tens of thousands of dollars before was distributed in batches.
There is not enough full-time population, everything is nonsense. The social population limit in the early 3rd century is placed here. I don’t find a way to create more full-time population. Everything is a dream. So spending some money and improving efficiency, Chen Xi not only thinks it is worth it, but also thinks it is very meaningful.
"The agricultural machinery will be put on the production line tomorrow. Chang'an Money House allocates funds to delegate to each village according to the calculated efficiency. Register and delegate the money. The country will take the money first." Chen Xi quickly made a plan, so he did not care about the messy things, and improved production efficiency first and increased production. Everything else was nonsense.
"Ah?" Xiangliqin was stunned. Although agricultural machinery was indeed on the production line, consider the number of people across the country. How could they produce them in the Xiangli family? Not to mention that they are just primary production lines, even if they are assembly lines, it will take a lot of time to produce tens of millions of such things.
"You should have won the relevant technology and production debugging to other production companies. What you need to do now is to expand production. There are still some mechanical equipment manufacturers from Hanoi to Jizhou." Chen Xi could understand the other party's thoughts when he saw Xiangliqin's expression.
However, from the beginning, Chen Xike came to the idea of mass production. Xiangli and Nanyang Zhang were more of the first generation models, mainly completing the design, throwing the entire process onto the production line, and completing the overall assembly from top to bottom.
As for production, relying on Xiangli and Nanyang Zhang family is a waste of time. The two companies are strong in design architecture and research. Letting them do production is a waste. Even during the Qin Dynasty, Xiangli simplified the equipment to a level that can be used by monkeys and then recruited civilians to produce.
Otherwise, if the Xiangli family, which has a total of only 100 people, would be allowed to do production, it would be a waste of time. Therefore, after the Grand Chancellor assigned research and design work to the Xiangli family last year, Chen Xi began to transform production lines in Hanoi and Jizhou.
From that time on, Chen Xi waited for Xiangli to complete the machinery and equipment, and after the design drawings and assembly line modification drawings came out, he asked Xiangli's boss to directly airborne the agricultural machinery equipment factories as technical engineers, quickly transform the equipment of the agricultural machinery factory, and then go to the production line.
Anyway, the people have no farm work in winter. Take advantage of this time to catch farmers in Hanoi and Jizhou in factories to produce agricultural machinery, and train them to use them while producing them. Although there is almost no training, I think that Xiangli will definitely make things work even monkeys, but the replacement and simple maintenance of some consumable parts will naturally be learned during the production line.
After these factories are working hard for a winter, the first batch of agricultural machinery will come out. In the spring, they can be used for large-scale promotion, liberating more manpower, recruiting more new people to enter the factory, and improving overall productivity.
So Chen Xi had prepared large-scale production early in the morning, just waiting for the drawings and technical engineers. Now Xiangli said that the drawings and engineers have arrived, so there is nothing else to say. The agricultural machinery factory that was transformed after the sixth year of Yuanfeng began to start.
The work of paying for food, accommodation and money in the middle of winter is very attractive in this year. You can even pay less money. As long as you control food, accommodation and delivery, there are so many people who are willing to come to work in the middle of winter, especially the snow this year seems to be a bit too much, and people are more willing to go to work.
"In other words, you are actually ready for large-scale production?" Xiangliqin looked at Chen Xi's mouth twitching. Although we can definitely do it this year, this is a habit left by the Qin Dynasty, I feel a little panicked if you trust it so much.
"Yes, since I issued the research and development order to you, I started a large-scale transformation." Chen Xi nodded and said, "After all, this is still very important, but you should also be ready for the version upgrade?"
Xiangliqin's expression was a bit complicated. It was really not like taking money as money, but it didn't matter, it was all the money of the financial owner, and it was not mine. Just spend it happily.
"There is no problem to upgrade and transform. In fact, the current agricultural machinery is equivalent to the downgrade. We reserved the filling space for the etching device and first use human power, animal power, etc. to drive it. After we have studied the etching device, we will just install the power machine at that time." Xiangliqin quickly explained.
It is obvious that it will take a lot of time for Xiangli to handle the etching, but it is obvious that the family is very confident that they can handle it. Chen Xi didn't say anything about this. He is also a little confident about Xiangli, and this family still has combat power.
Chen Xi expressed his satisfaction with the reserved etching device filling position. After the etching device is completed in the future, the etching device will be directly sent out for technicians to upgrade it, so there is no need to re-manufacturing the agricultural machinery.
Although in Chen Xi's opinion, such things that are already as cheap as thousands of commerce are not unacceptable even if you change them again, it is better to save some money.
After all, if you think about it carefully, the demand for this thing is about 10 million units, which means that one household needs one. After all, it is not a large combine harvester, one that is as big as thousands of people. If it were such a magical tool, it would be almost 100,000 units.
Unfortunately, Xiangli made it a small hand-push thing, and there was no problem with one unit, so he got more than 10 million units.
Even for Chen Xi, this scale is quite high. Even if the materials needed for manufacturing, the raw materials needed for materials, and the manpower needed for raw material mining are all in Chen Xi's industrial chain, such a quantity is very fatal.
"Very good. Now you go directly to the Zhengyuan Yuan and ask Master Yuan to hand over the relevant government orders to Doctor Lu. He will complete the relevant transfer orders and materials. You Xiangli will send people to those large agricultural machinery production plants as soon as possible to provide production guidance." Chen Xi was very satisfied and completed another major event.
Xiang Liqin took the seal written by Chen Xi on the spot and went to the Zhengyuan from Weiyang Palace. Ruan Gong bowed to the two and left.
"Chen Pushe, we have to have a good chat." After Xiang Liqin left, Liu Tong bent his knuckles and knocked on the table, and Si Niang didn't know where to find Siberian Jinjian and Yinjianjian, so she put it on several tables to touch it.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Chen Xi was confused. What's wrong again? Why did Liu Tong look like a small wallet was hit? Also, don't you call me Chen Hou? What does Chen Pushe mean? Is this going to do business?
"Chen Pushe, if you don't mention the threshing machine and the hulling machine, just talk about the most commonly used hand-push harvester used instead of sickles. How many units do you need to make?" Liu Tong smiled kindly, Chen Xi was silent, and he found the problem.
The front foot told Liu Tong that he had no money. This year, the situation was very bad and the losses were heavy. After a wave of changes, the etching of the essence of heaven and earth directly collapsed, causing a series of problems. So this year, he was scared of losing money. As a result, when Xiangliqin came, Chen Xi began to allocate large-scale funds.
"Ten million units, not counting the military farms of state-owned farms, the people themselves need about 10 million units." But just talking about the matter, Chen Xi was not afraid, he just had no money. He asked if the materials, money, and food expenses were prepared before.
"Ah, I remember that a sickle is 110 yuan." Liu Tong thought for a while and said.
There is a problem with this price. In ancient times, steel was very expensive, so the price of iron sickles was ridiculously expensive. However, when Chen Xi started to use blast furnace to make steel, the steel that produces sickles was not a problem. In fact, the people's sickles were sold and half-fed, and they basically didn't ask for much money.
"Ah, I remember that I sold half a sold and half a gift of sickles. I didn't ask for money later, so the iron pots were the same. So even if it was more than twenty times more expensive, it would be worth it." Chen Xi fooled Liu Tong without any moral integrity, and it was almost clear that he would definitely have no money if he wanted money.
"Do you believe it?" Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"The problem is that this is the fact. I have distributed a lot of sickles over the years, many messy factories, and I send sickles at work." Chen Xi said naturally. Do you want to prove that the sickle is worth so much? Ah, maybe it is indeed worth it, but I confiscated the money!
Chen Xi said that, he walked Liu Tong around and started to really use his brain. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he was not spending money. Although the sickle was more than 100 yuan, most people didn't seem to have bought sickle.
Let the people who have bought sickles these days have been okay in recent years, but in the past few years it was a death-making life. Even if it was more than 100 yuan after the price was severely reduced, it still couldn't afford it. Therefore, the early production of sickles was all due to Chen Xi's half-selling and half-giving.
This is also the reason why the steel produced by Bingzhou Smelting Department and Donglai clearly far exceeds the demand for equipment, but it does not show it. More than half of it is used to make sickles, hoes and other agricultural tools, as well as kitchen knives, iron pots and so on.
These are actually the big ones, and if all of them are charged according to the theoretical price of steel, the people of the Central Plains will definitely not be able to afford them.
