Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

As for the strategic level, this time Wushu actually saw that after the third Song-Jin war, the Song Dynasty was already weak to the extreme, and it was an excellent opportunity to attack the Eastern Front and take the Lianghuai and cause political chaos in the Song Dynasty.

It's a pity, people are not as good as God.

Wu Shu sighed, and after clearing up his depressed mood, he slowly recovered himself.

He said: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so you don't need to worry too much."

Han Chang and the others said, "Deputy Marshal, are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine."

Everyone was relieved.

"Where is Li Cheng, have you found it?"

Wuyan Puluhun said: "Deputy Marshal, Li Cheng has not been found yet."

"We must send someone to find Li Cheng. Li Cheng helped the commander in chief. If it weren't for him, we would have lost even more!"

"Yes!"

Everyone's depressed mood gradually faded away.

"Everyone quickly rectify the soldiers and horses to appease the mood of the army."

"Yes!"

On the first day of October, the evening when late autumn and early winter meet, the sunset glow spreads over the Bian River, with infinite tenderness.

Since Zhou Yan, Li Chunmao and others were killed last time, Taifu Temple was merged into the East Mansion and vigorously rectified. The traffic of merchant ships on the Bian River has obviously become smoother.

There is also more grain shipped from all over the place.

The grain transported by the Qian brothers and sisters from Hangzhou has also become unimpeded.

Zhao Ning was sitting in the Hall of Wende, he seemed to be writing something, and he was engrossed in writing.

When Wang Huaiji came in to refill him tea, he said: "Officials, Concubine Shen De is asking to see you outside."

Without raising his head, Zhao Ning said, "Xuan come in."

Not long after, Zhu Yueying entered Wende Hall.

If Zhu Lian was the dignified and elegant royal sister type, then the little Zhu lady Zhu Yueying was Xiaojiabiyu, and she revealed an aura that made one want to protect her well.

Seeing Zhao Guan's family writing and drawing there, they don't bother.

After Zhao Ning finished writing, he put down the pen and sighed. He checked it again and couldn't help but nodded, expressing his satisfaction.

Zhu Yueying blinked and asked curiously, "What are the officials writing about?"

"I'm writing something good."

"What is it?" Zhu Yueying's bright eyes were like gems, revealing aura.

"Miss Zhu, what do you think of the soap?"

Zhu Yueying laughed immediately. When she smiled, it was as if the bright moon was shining on a clear spring, which made people feel indescribably comfortable: "Naturally, it is very good. Since my concubines use soap, bathing is more convenient, especially in summer, it is indescribably comfortable. , I don’t know who made the Shaozao House Supervisor.”

"It was made by Wang Si, who will be the prisoner, and now I'm handing it over to Wang Zonglin to make it." Zhao Ning picked up the ones he just wrote, "Want to see it?"

"Can the concubine watch it?"

"of course can."

Zhu Yueying put down the gauze in her hand, only to see what was in Zhao Ning's hand.

"These are the methods of making soap, and it's not a secret." Zhao Ning said leisurely while drinking tea.

Now that the soap has been manufactured to a large scale, it is time to start the next phase of the plan.

The reason why soap can be made into a luxury product is because it was not available in ancient times, and the second is because of imperial packaging.

When the private businessmen see the opportunity, they will inevitably start to imitate, and when the number of folks increases, it will not be so novel.

At that time, do you still want to spend one hundred pennies?

That would really make everyone an idiot.

When any new product enters the market, as long as it is not in the market before and it really solves the demand, it will inevitably sell at a high price.

This is determined by capacity and supply and demand.

With limited production capacity and strong demand in the market, only fools will sell at a low price.

But once the market enters a stage of rapid growth and a large number of products appear, the price will inevitably be lowered at this time.

Then why make money at this time?

By production capacity!

You produce 1000 pieces a day, and each sells 50 pieces.

I produce 50000 pieces a day and sell 30 pieces each, and I still make more money than you.

Therefore, the economy and the market have their own laws.

Products without core technical barriers will eventually move towards a production capacity competition model, relying on small profits but quick turnover to make money.

The leeks of soap are almost cut by Wang Zongyan, and the product bonus period will soon end with the passage of time and the entry of private businessmen.

At this time, it is necessary to change the strategy.

Raise production capacity.

Of course, as an emperor, he doesn't actually expect soap to continue to make money.

Soap can be equivalent to the entire country, how much money can it make?

So what is Zhao Ning's purpose?

In one word: productivity!

How to increase production capacity?

One word: Change the production model!

The soap manufacturing process has initially run smoothly, and he is now sorting out the production line.

The assembly line has a preliminary prototype in Qin State, but it is only a prototype, and the manufacturing in Qin State has not yet reached the strict sense of assembly line.

The assembly line is a combination of key elements such as standardization, modularization, division of labor, combination, and quality control.

It must have a set of weights and measures that are relatively strict, precise, and have small errors.

Only in this way can it be guaranteed that one of the 1000 parts of a certain product is the same size, and if it is slightly different, it cannot be assembled.

At present, the weight and measure error of the Song Dynasty is still relatively large.

The purpose of the assembly line is to improve production efficiency.

The purpose of improving production efficiency is to stimulate industrial supply.

Not only can more goods be produced to benefit the people, but also cheap goods can be used to fight trade wars with neighboring enemy countries.

Therefore, soap is just an introduction, leading to a precise assembly line model is Zhao Ning's real purpose.

When this model is accepted by the manufacturing departments of the Song Dynasty, it can even be popularized in the military industry.

Judging from the current situation, the Song and Jin Dynasties have entered a stage of stalemate, and their diplomacy with Xixia, Mughal, and Goryeo has become crucial.

Moreover, the border trade between Song and Jin Dynasties will also create new problems.

Even the Dasong Bank, which Zhao Ning has just created and has not yet started with much fanfare, will have many complicated financial and economic problems due to the border trade of various countries.

Chapter 241 The Song Dynasty's Assembly Line Strategy (Second Update)

Miss Zhu could see clearly.

After all, Zhao Ning's "Da Song Assembly Line Policy Theory" is very simple.

Complex things, simplified, are really good things.

Zhao Ning asked, "How?"

Zhu Yueying said, "Officer, is this how soap is made?"

"Yes."

"Chen Qie occasionally weaves and spins in the palace, and also hears that some items are made by the people, but this is the first time I have seen such manufacturing."

In this, not only the purchase and transportation of lard are modularized, but also strict regulations and judgment methods are made on the color and feel of lard.

The same is true for plant ash.

And the stirring process of lard and plant ash is also clearly separated.

It even stipulates how much to stir, how long, and when to stop.

The most important thing is to do division of labor and cooperation.

Different people, do their own things, don't mess around.

The real commercial colonization of human society started after the classical economist Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations.

There is a very important theory in "The Wealth of Nations" called "division of labor and cooperation" theory.

The premise of this theory is that Britain has already started the first industrial revolution, society has undergone tremendous changes, and production capacity has climbed.

The British East India Company further opened up global trade, and the production capacity in the UK must be further improved.

In 1768, Adam Smith began to write "The Wealth of Nations", and in 1769, the Watt steam engine was put into use.

In fact, whether it is the "division of labor principle" or the Watt steam engine, it was the further increase in the demand for overseas trade in the UK at that time, which forced the UK to find ways to increase production capacity.

After humans began to learn large-scale standardized division of labor and cooperation in the manufacturing industry, the threshold for family manufacturing in the classical era was greatly reduced.

After being standardized and division of labor, the craftsmanship that was passed down from father to son in the past is no longer a unique technical work for some families.

In this way, more labor force can join in with low threshold, and the threshold of training can be lowered.

The production and assembly of different parts, coupled with strict quality control, finally formed the assembly line mode that people are familiar with later.

This model is what a country must go through if it wants to rise.

Zhao Ning can't build a scientific system in a short time, let alone make a steam engine in a short time, but at least he can optimize production efficiency through model innovation.

Zhu Yueying didn't quite understand the reason behind this, but she just thought Zhao Ning's arrangement was very interesting.

She picked up the handkerchief she embroidered and said, "Official family, look at this, it was embroidered by my concubine for the official family."

"Oh, Mrs. Zhu's craftsmanship is pretty good." Zhao Ning took it over and looked carefully. It was decorated with patterns of flowers and birds, delicate and beautiful.

These handicrafts of the Song Dynasty are very popular in the Kingdom of Jin, Xixia, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, and even the Western Regions.

The most famous textiles in the Song Dynasty are Shu embroidery and Bian embroidery.

The so-called Bian embroidery is embroidery in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhu Yueying's embroidery is Bian embroidery, which is good at embroidery of birds, fish and insects.

Bian embroidery is characterized by soft, uniform colors, grandeur and dignity.

Most of the embroidery in Shaofu Jianwensiyuan, Lingjinyuan and other yamen is Bian embroidery.

Moreover, Da Song's aesthetics emphasizes simplicity and delicacy, giving people a sense of luxury.

This kind of aesthetics, in this era, is crushing for any country on this planet.

This is also one of the main reasons why the trade between the Song Dynasty and neighboring countries flourished.

For example, the previous alliance with Xixia promised brother Richard to give him silk at a low price, and the dignitaries in Xixia coveted silk from the Song Dynasty.

"Yesterday, I accepted Sun Fu's letter, saying that Xixia people love my silk and embroidery. Recently, I have been thinking about whether to start a place to teach others embroidery at the newly established Tokyo University, so as to cultivate more embroidery, embroidery, and embroidery skills." Textile talents?"

This made Zhu Yueying even more curious, it was the first time she heard that embroidery was taught in school.

"If the officials have this intention, it would be a good idea."

"I really don't know much about this aspect." Zhao Ning frowned, thought for a while, and then said suddenly, "Madam Zhu, why don't you handle this matter for me?"

"Concubine?"

"Yes, how about you handle it?"

"Officials, ministers and concubines have never..."

"It doesn't matter, I will support you, I will find someone for you, and you will command."
