Chapter 19: The end of Fangs plan? Thats it?(2/2)
"Haha, Qin County man, please forgive me for coming uninvited."
Qin Hao immediately understood that Li Shimin was visiting privately incognito and did not want to expose his identity, so he cooperated and rushed to Li Shimin with his fists in his hands: "It turns out that Mr. Li was the one who ignored me in person."
When the bankers saw that the "thief" actually knew the master, and the master looked very polite, they quickly put away their weapons and dispersed.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Mr. Qin County, I want to go into this workshop and have a look. Is it convenient?"
The young man who had just gone to report the news came back with him sitting behind Qin Hao. He subconsciously wanted to say: "It's inconvenient," but Qin Hao stopped him with a look.
"Mr. Li is a distinguished guest, so he is welcome."
With that said, Qin Hao asked the farmers to disperse and led Li Shimin to the workshop alone.
The door of the workshop is made of solid wood and requires several big men to lift it open.
After entering the workshop, Li Shimin discovered that there was something special inside. Compared with the messy scenes of other workshops, this soap workshop seemed very orderly.
Grinding, drying, cooking, and coagulation are all separate processes.
The female workers Li Shimin saw on the horse just now were basically focused on the processes of steaming and condensation.
"Mr. Qin County, it seems that each of these workers only does one process?"
Qin Hao nodded and said: "Mr. Li has a unique vision. Although the process of soap is not too complicated, starting from refining soybean oil, it also needs to go through more than a dozen processes. If a worker is involved from beginning to end, not only does it require strong skills
Professional skills and low efficiency.”
"I broke down these processes and each worker only learned one process. Not only can he get started quickly, but he can also improve efficiency. I call it: assembly line operation."
Du Ruhui suddenly said something neutral: "It can also prevent the soap formula from leaking out. Am I right, Qin County man?"
Qin Hao said calmly: "Not to mention that the formula was passed down by the master, Mr. Du might as well take a look. There are one or two hundred people living in this workshop now. If the formula is leaked, shouldn't Mr. Du control their food and drink?
"
"You..." Du Ruhui was speechless for a moment.
When Fang Xuanling saw this, he argued: "But Qin County Man's soap is so expensive, it has led to extravagance in Chang'an City, and the trend of comparison is prevalent, which is always inappropriate."
Qin Hao sneered: "It turns out that Mr. Du and Mr. Fang are here to investigate today."
Upon seeing this, Li Shimin quickly smoothed things over: "Mr. Qin County, Mr. Du and Mr. Fang are also dedicated to serving the country..."
"If you are really dedicated to serving the country, you should support me, and why should you ask for guilt?" Qin Hao knew very well that due to the existence of Yun Ye, civil servants such as Du Ruhui had already classified him as a member of the Xungui Group. In this case,
There is no need for him to be polite.
"Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have advocated frugality, and even the harem has repeatedly cut expenses. Isn't it ridiculous that the men from Qin County have become extravagant, but they say they are devoted to serving the country?" Du Ruhui asked.
Qin Hao shook his head and chuckled, and said sarcastically: "Mr. Du, who do you think bought this soap?"
"This thing is so expensive, so it belongs to a wealthy family."
"Okay, then let me ask you a question, what are the three things that wealthy people like the most?"
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other.
"Gather grain, farm fields, and collect money."
"Yes, the aristocratic families are like Pixiu that can only go in and out. Once food, fields, and copper coins enter their mouths, it is difficult for them to spit them out again. They would rather the food rot in the cellar than give it to the people.
For a bite to eat, they would rather have the string of copper coins rotten than give a penny to the poor." Qin Hao said word by word.
"The price of soap is so high that ordinary people cannot afford it. Only aristocratic families have enough spending power."
"For example, today I went out to drink and spent money. The restaurant has a lot of money. The restaurant uses half of it to buy ingredients. The hunter also has 500 cash in his hand. The hunter then uses the 500 cash.
Go buy grain, cloth...it goes over and over again, the same money is always there, whether it is better to put it in the cellar of a wealthy family to mold, or to flow into the hands of the common people."
