"Why do you keep turning to look at me?"
Fang and Du sent Tang Ping and Tang Ping to the gate of Shanghe Village, and then hurried back to Chang'an to discuss matters with Li Shimin.
Tang Ping could only slowly shake back with Wang Qingluan.
On the way back, Wang Qingluan noticed that Tang Ping glanced at him from time to time, so he asked aloud.
"I...actually I'm just a little curious about your identity!"
He already knew that when Wang Qingluan came to his new school, it was the Dongyue royal family who issued the document. Now Wang Qingluan took out one hundred thousand dollars in cash without blinking an eye, without even having to discuss it with anyone.
You must know that she seems to be just 19 years old. At the age of 19, there are not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can use such a large amount of cash.
Even though Dongyue was richer than Tang Dynasty, such financial resources meant that her identity would not be simple.
"Sorry, Mr. Tang, I can't tell you my true identity yet, but I promise that I will never do anything to harm Datang or you or the people around you."
Tang Ping nodded. At least Wang Qingluan is willing to invest today, which is actually a good thing for Datang.
After all, this matter has to go through Honglu Temple, and then contact envoys from surrounding countries. After going back and forth, I don’t know how long it will take to build all the workshops in that area.
If it is completed one day earlier, the people near Chang'an will be able to receive labor income one day earlier.
After Tang Ping brought potatoes to the Tang Dynasty, the grain output of the Tang Dynasty will increase greatly in the next few years. If we just sell the excess grain, it will definitely be far inferior to the workshop manufacturing industry. Produce products that earn more profit.
Everyone has their own secrets. Tang Ping himself never told Wang Qingluan that he came from a parallel time and space more than a thousand years later, so since Wang Qingluan said so, he didn't plan to pursue it further.
After Li Shimin met with Fang and Du, he called Changsun Wuji, Minister of Civil Affairs Dai Zhou and others to discuss it together.
Finally, a decision was made that the business taxation matter could be postponed. After all, business in Datang was not prosperous now, and premature tax collection was actually not conducive to the development of business.
But we can consider attracting investment.
However, they only used the entire workshop for a joint venture with Wang Qingluan, but only used part of it, and the other part would be invested by officials from the DPRK and China.
This means that Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others here can participate in this investment and jointly set up workshops with the imperial court.
The first advantage of this is that it can make the relationship between these courtiers and the Tang Dynasty closer.
After all, if you think that for an official in the future, a large part of his industry will be workshops jointly run with the imperial court, then the cost of his rebellion will be even higher.
The second benefit is that it will be conducive to the development of business. After all, people are selfish. Let court officials participate in such business activities. Because it is profitable, they will naturally be inclined to the development of business.
Nowadays, apart from external enemies, the biggest hidden danger to the Tang Dynasty is the major aristocratic families.
In addition to their centuries-old influence, the threat to the aristocratic family also comes from their huge financial resources.
If the Tang government wanted to catch up with the other party in terms of financial resources, it would naturally have to make some reforms. The development of industry and commerce proposed by Tang Ping was a good new track.
Because on this track, although the Aristocratic Family and the Tang Dynasty Court were on the same starting line, the Tang Dynasty Court had the plug-in Tang Ping and the technology he provided, so they would naturally be one step ahead.
"Grandmaster Tang also put forward an opinion, that is, after the workshop is opened, the workers inside should operate on an assembly line as much as possible."
"Assembly line operation?" Dai Zhou looked curious: "Not every workshop is close to the river. How can workshops not near the river run the assembly line?"
"Hahaha!" Seeing that Dai Zhou's reaction was exactly the same as when he heard it, Fang Xuanling laughed happily: "Dai Shangshu, this flowing water must be flowing!"
After laughing, he told everyone in the Xiande Hall the explanation of assembly line operations he heard from Tang Ping in detail: "The so-called assembly line operations mean that each process is completed by only one person."
"It's just like our oil-paper umbrella workshop. The person in charge of bamboo numbering is only responsible for bamboo numbering, the umbrella stand is only responsible for the umbrella stand, and the person responsible for mounting the umbrella surface only uses the mounting fan surface. Other processes include oiling and threading. Same thing."
“The entire process, the product goes through one process after another, just like flowing water, so it’s called the assembly line process!”
"Wonderful!" After hearing this, Dai Zhou slapped his thigh fiercely, and then he felt a little pain and grinned.
There are no fools here. After listening to Fang Xuanling explain the assembly line operation, he understood the benefits.
Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "If a novice is asked to make oil-paper umbrellas and he has to learn every process, it will take at least more than a year to get started. But now with such an assembly line operation, he can become one in a few months at most. An expert at that process."
"Another advantage is that it can make some skills less likely to be lost. If it were like in the past, as long as someone poached the umbrella maker, another paper umbrella workshop could be opened."
"But now they poach one or two people, it won't have any impact at all."
Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, almost jumped up with excitement: "This method of operation can not only be used in new workshops, in fact we can do this for many things!"
The most precious thing in the Ministry of Industry is the craftsmen, but it is too difficult to train a qualified craftsman. Not only does it require talent, but it also takes a long time.
But to use such an assembly line operation, a craftsman only needs to divide a product into several processes, and then hand over each process to an apprentice.
This is not only faster, because each apprentice is only responsible for one process, and after becoming proficient, he can better ensure the quality of the product.
Li Shimin smiled as he watched the ministers in the Xiande Hall praise Tang Ping vigorously, making him feel very comfortable.
Even if this kid has good things, why can't he just take them out?
Well, this seems to be good, as it can bring some different surprises to myself and the Tang Dynasty every day.
Thinking like this, Li Shimin looked at the globe on the table that he borrowed from Tang Ping's convenience store.
"Pass the message to reach a cooperation agreement with Wang Qingluan of Dongyue as soon as possible to open workshops, with the duck down clothing workshop as the highest priority. At the same time, we will follow up on the new military ration workshop. Each workshop will subdivide the process and use assembly line operations."
The important officials in the court below looked at each other and all breathed heavily.
The role of the duck down clothing workshop and the new military ration workshop is self-evident.
"I obey the order!"
