Chapter 177 The road ahead and the road behind are all routines
The so-called "Silk Three Strips" is the silk industry association controlled by the "foreign silk faction", and in response to changes in the situation, three important articles of association have been "referendumed", and have been officially endorsed, which can be quasi-administrative regulations. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info天籁novel.23txt.
First, the purchase price of silkworm cocoons should be greatly increased.
This purchase price has been raised to such an extent: ordinary people do not reel silk, only raise silkworms, and there is a possibility of barely making ends meet; If production could be further expanded, not too large, and a single household could be turned into a small workshop with two or three employees, then there would be no worries about prosperity.
If a cocoon company privately lowers the purchase price of silkworm cocoons, once verified, the punishment will be extremely severe: the Silk Industry Association will petition the feudal department yamen to revoke the "ministry license" of the cocoon.
This article, in addition to playing a role in dividing and dismantling the "mass base" of the "Tusi faction" -- the vast number of silkworm breeders, also has great significance to ensure the supply of raw materials for the silk reeling factory: the huge production capacity of the silk reeling factory has made it a "cocoon-eating beast" that can never be fed, if the silkworm breeders are bankrupt, not to mention whether there will be "unspeakable things", just talking about the supply of raw materials, there is no guarantee, after all, the silk reeling factory only reels silk, not silkworms.
In addition, the purchase price of silkworm cocoons has increased, and the "water fee" paid by the silk reeling factory to the cocoon shop has also increased correspondingly, so the overall profit margin of the cocoon shop will increase, and a part of the medium and small silk shops may be transferred to the cocoon shop and get a piece of the pie, which will also play a role in dividing and disintegrating the "earth silk faction" itself -- since there is a way out to some extent, the resistance to the new silk reeling factory will be somewhat reduced.
"Raise the price of the cocoon," Zeng Guofan twisted his goatee and squinted his inverted triangular eyes slightly, "It's indeed Dezheng!" I don't know if I'm right-this one, it seems...... Borrowed the mirror of salt rectification? ”
"Di Weng's eyes are like torches!" Guan Zhuofan said, "If the purchase price of salt is too low, the salt paid by the 'stove household' will not be worth it, and there is no way to make a living unless it is sold privately - this is one of the important reasons for the rampant illegal salt!" Allowing the 'market businessman' to sit on the ground and lower the price is tantamount to forcing the good to become a prostitute! Therefore, the imperial court set the purchase price of salt, and those who dared to sit on the ground and lower the price were set up and never lenient! The same is true for harvesting cocoons - this purchase price must ensure that silkworm farmers can have food and clothing! ”
The "stove household" is the salt farmer who boils salt, and the "field merchant" is the merchant who has been stationed in the salt field for a long time and collects salt from the "stove household".
"I originally thought," Guan Zhuofan continued, "that it was completely imitating the salt business, and that the purchase price of the silkworm cocoons would also be determined by the imperial court; Later, I thought about it, after all, the silk industry is different from the salt business, and the salt business is sold by the government, but the silk industry is privately owned by the example, and it is better for the silk industry association to open its mouth - the official government will approve the gift that is submitted. ”
Zeng Guofan nodded, "The prince is thinking about Zhou Xiang." ”
I thought, my guess is right, Hu Guangyong's tricks are really from your instructions.
However, it is rare for you to tell me calmly.
"Also," Guan Zhuofan said, "after the establishment of the silk reeling factory, the output of silk will definitely increase greatly, and the demand for silkworm cocoons will also increase greatly. ”
"As the prince said," Zeng Guofan said, "the cake is bigger, and everyone will get more in their hands." ”
Prince Xuan's metaphor of "cake" is already a very popular saying in today's officialdom.
Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said: "Yes, therefore, I also take Di Weng's words as a matter of course - with the article of increasing the purchase price of silkworm cocoons, although short-term pain is inevitable, but the pain should be very limited - 'there will be something unbearable', it is indeed alarmist." ”
Although it is a "short pain", although it is said that "the pain is extremely limited", the "short pain" is also a pain, and the "pain is extremely limited" is still painful.
The increase in the purchase price of silkworm cocoons is "moderate": as mentioned above, ordinary people do not reel silk and only raise silkworms, so they have the possibility of "barely having enough food and clothing".
The other side of this "possibility of barely making ends meet" is that "there is still the possibility of bankruptcy" -- the technology of raising silkworms is not strong, the slightest negligence in taking care of silkworm babies, bad weather, poor sales, and even simple bad luck may lead to bankruptcy.
The reason why the purchase price of silkworm cocoons has been raised at such a "moderate" range is that the silk reeling factory must ensure its own profit margin - this can be put on the table; The other cannot be put on the table: all the silkworm farmers cannot be fed - no one is bankrupt, and who goes to work as a worker in the factory?
Moreover, this worker is a female worker, not a male worker.
The second article of the "Silk Three": the original silkworm breeder enters the silk reeling factory to work, and "priority is given"; In addition, the "minimum salary" was discussed and submitted to the Yamen of the feudal department for the record.
This "minimum wage", as if the purchase price of silkworm cocoons has been raised, is "moderate": for the salaried to "barely have enough to eat".
However, after one year, the salary will be raised, and the income of the next year, calculated by all means, is not much less than the original silkworm raising and silk reeling at home.
If the mother and daughter sisters work in the same factory, the family's income will be more than the original silkworm raising and silk reeling at home.
Working in the factory is very hard, the "workshop" is full of steam, and everyone is sweating through their clothes, but this hard work is not uncommon for silkworm farmers.
Cooking cocoons and reeling silk in one's own home, the situation is not only similar, but also excessive: the high temperature in the house is boiling, the doors and windows are airtight, from beginning to end, day and night, as if staying in a big steamer all the time.
The "silkworm season" is in spring, and the temperature outside the house is actually not high, but the people in the house are sweating like rain, and they can't wear any clothes.
If there is a difference, it is in your own home, close the doors and windows, between mother and daughter, between sisters and daughters, you can only wear medium clothes or even small clothes; Although the whole "workshop" is full of female workers, they can't take off their clothes and face each other naked, because the proprietor and the engineer are men, and they always come to the "workshop".
In response to this problem, the Silk Industry Association stipulated that the silk reeling factory must set up enough "dressing rooms", in which female workers can wipe their bodies after work, change into dry clothes, and then go home. In this way, it can avoid inelegant observation, do not inspire evil thoughts, and in addition, there is no risk of cold wind being covered by the body, catching a cold and getting sick.
In addition, the silk reeling factory only uses female workers, not male workers, and is "closed management", and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
At this point, it is difficult for the "Tusi faction" to make a fuss about "male and female defense".
The daughters in the countryside of Jiangnan have already done their work and dealt with outsiders, but there are not a few who do not go out of the door and do not step out of the second door.
With "one silk" and "two silks", although the pain is still painful, and the doubts are still doubts, many people feel that it seems to be ...... Barely bearable?
Therefore, although there are the most radical people in the "Tusi faction", more than once, they secretly instigated the trend, and even plotted to smash the "Erchang", but there are very few people who should make peace, and they have never succeeded.
smash "Erchang", let's not talk about whether you will have a lawsuit in the government, at least, if you do silk business, don't think about changing careers to do cocoon work in the future; Those who raise silkworms and reel silk should not think of working in factories in the future--it is very unwise to completely block their own back roads.
After the third article of the "silk three" came out, the "unspeakable things" became even more unspeakable.
Led by Hu Xueyan, the Silk Industry Association set up a "Silk Industry Fund", saying that it was "specifically to take care of the silk industry colleagues who have no food and clothing"; In addition, low-interest loans are available "if there is another way to make a living".
The scale of this "silk industry fund" is quite large, with a principal of 1.5 million taels, and almost everyone in the "foreign silk faction" has paid money, and Hu Xueyan alone has pledged 200,000 taels.
Want to make trouble? When you are "without food and clothing", do you want us to "take care of it"? If you really can't get along in the silk industry and want to "find another way to make a living", do you want our loans? It's a cut lower than the low interest rate of the bank!
But where there is a back road, it is difficult for people to make up their minds to break the boat, not to mention, there are several back roads here?
