The craftsmen who make this thing don't care about making big news, they just care if it can't be sold and if it makes money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This ginning machine is used to ginn cotton, which is proven to work.

It's just that the other small iron lump machine next to it is used for what these craftsmen don't know.

Huang De pointed to another, smaller, more humble thing that could be knocked out of the village blacksmith shop, and asked, "What does this thing do?" ”

Jian Chen looked at the small hand-cranked corn thresher and said, "I once heard a crew member who went to sea say that they had seen a plant on a small island, which looked very strange, but it should be edible. It wasn't ripe at the time, but it tasted good when cooked. Later, I went to look for it, but I lost my course, and I couldn't find the island. ”

"Now that I have money, I'm going to go to sea in a few days to see it, maybe I'll be able to find it. Make it in advance, and if you can plant it when the time comes, it can also come in handy. ”

Half-truths and half-truths about the appearance of corn, Huang De and others were suspicious when they heard it.

Mincheng was originally close to the sea, and a few decades ago there was a fever of going to sea, exploring some islands between the country and Qi, and also left a lot of legends of sailors.

There are true and false, especially if there is too much sea water in the sailor's words, it is a soaked sea cucumber. It's true that only half of it is left after squeezing it out.

Huang De is happy to believe in legends for Chen Jian, but he can't say anything, everyone has their own hobbies.

Anyway, this thing consumes very little iron, except for a small spring, the rest is completely knocked out by the level of the village blacksmith.

Barbed winches require cast iron, which is easy to get by finding a random pig iron smelting workshop.

Huang De thought, anyway, Chen Jian did a lot of weird things, and it would be strange if he didn't do weird things, such as those expensive wooden grooves used for playing.

Strange people do strange things, that's called normal, so they don't ask more.

Jian Chen shook the hand-cranked corn thresher and was extremely satisfied.

The emergence of this thing can make the cultivation of corn quickly popular. Compared with crops such as wheat and beans that have matured, the yield of corn is acceptable after the emergence of corn, but threshing is a big problem.

For ethnic groups with sufficient land and a relatively scarce labor force, the area of corn planted is closely related to threshing.

If there are many people, it is different, there is so much land, and it is better to squat at home and take it off slowly than to be hungry.

With this simple yet common, somewhat clumsy and rudimentary machine, a ten-year-old can do the threshing job.

The production of maize could promote the development of the aquaculture industry and quickly spread it in the outer colonies, which had to be prepared in advance.

The thing is too small to make much money, but it can be promoted along with corn seeds, so that the only criticism of large-scale corn planting in the early stage will be eliminated.

Seeing that Huang De and the others didn't care, Jian Chen said, "What about this little machine, let the apprentice do it." Just do it, don't make a noise, and don't care what it's for. Let's take 300 units a month, anyway, now the money is turnover. If I can use it best in the future, if I don't need it, I will spend some money on a toy. I pay. ”

Even so, everyone didn't say much more, and talked about the ginning machine.

"Masters, no one else knows about this machine except you, right?"

"Of course not. You can make it clear, this thing is easy to imitate, and once it is launched, I am afraid that it will soon be copied by others. Besides, this patent matter is not reasonable. Registration requires a sum of money, not to mention, but also to pay a large amount of money, if others use, can only ask others to pay no more than fifteen times the price of the fee, and generally can only be maintained for fifteen years, after fifteen years can no longer be charged. Where do we craftsmen have so much money to get this? In the end, it was still cheaper for those guild people, but there was no way, the law was like that. ”

Huang De sighed and said: "There is also the fact that the magistrate is naturally biased towards his own county, and he is not strict when enforcing the law, and there is no way to sue, just shirk." Guild leaders have money, prestige, and connections, so how can we artisans provoke them? Either sell it at a low price and don't make much profit for yourself, or there is a way to bring you down. ”

Jian Chen smiled: "I'll solve this problem." The matter of patents is nothing more than the proposal that the guild leaders and the group of lenders came up with, and if the craftsmen were in the majority of the council, there would never be such a law. Relying on money is one thing, we have money now. On the other hand, the issue of the administration of justice by the magistrate...... Hehe, I don't dare to say anything else, I guess we don't have to be afraid in Mincheng. Dare to steal someone else's labor? Smash! There are not enough people on the side of the magistrates, and there is not enough supervision? Someone paid to help investigate. ”

This is hard to say, but if it was two years ago, Chen Jian would definitely not dare to say so.

It's just that the competitors of this cotton gin are nothing more than those smelting and forging workshops, so there is no need to worry.

Now that he colludes with officials and businessmen, he has all kinds of glamorous identities, and he has a lot of money now, and there are city hooligans like Zhao Si who are responsible for smashing and robbing as gloves.

There is no need to worry about this, as for the large number of ginning workers who have lost their jobs in a short period of time, it is exactly the large number of hard-working and cheap labor that he needs.

Speaking of this, Jian Chen stabbed Huang De on the side and said, "Master Huang, you know why we want to form a party this time, right?" If the laws governing patents were not made by the guild leaders and the big money-lending merchants, but by the craftsmen and the owners of the industrial and commercial workshops, would it be difficult for you, the craftsmen, to be so difficult? ”

"What seems to be far away from you, but if you think about it, it's not far away at all, and it concerns everyone. It's just that no one can hear about our interests, and there are almost no people in the National People's Assembly who support us. ”

Huang De smiled and said: "I'm old, I really can't tell these things apart." But Brother Chen, now that I can enter the county council with your light, I will naturally have something to do for you. A few of you here, a little younger, have already joined. ”

Jian Chen smiled: "It's not my horse head, Master Huang." It is in your own interest. Political parties do not mean that private people form cliques, and that cannot be said of this. On national matters, I support my party. In business, you and I have a personal relationship. Public is public, private is private. People who have the same purpose can make their voices heard only when they are in a group. ”

Huang De just laughed and didn't answer.

Jian Chen didn't say much about this topic, but he mentioned it casually when he said this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's just like what we said at the beginning, after this machine is made, I will pay the cost of the patent application, and the cost of the patent profit will be divided equally between the masters. The remaining profits from production and sales, several masters also have one percent of the income. This is beneficial to everyone, and everyone only contributes without paying, the risk is mine, and you also have a share in the benefits. ”

"There are some things that are not the same in your hands as they are in my hands. You get what you deserve, and I get what you don't. ”

Everyone said: "This is a good thing, and everyone agrees with it when it is said at the beginning." Mutual benefit and win-win, Brother Chen has always said this, and we deeply believe it. So apply for a patent now and get ready to sell? It is the season of cotton picking, as long as it is displayed a little, a lot can be sold near Mincheng. The price is not expensive, but it can improve the efficiency dozens of times, which lint workshop does not want it? ”

Chen Jian calculated the time, roughly recalled the number of ginning employees in Mincheng in the previous social survey, shook his head and said, "This is not in a hurry. In this way, let's not apply for a patent and continue to produce, the more the better. Stocklog first, and then sell a wave. Be careful to keep it secret, new apprentices and craftsmen, just let them do it, don't tell them what they are for. You craftsmen don't have much money, if you do it yourself, you must make one and be busy selling it, where can you backlog and wait for opportunities? So you can't make a lot of money. Only when technology and capital are combined can you make a lot of money. ”

"Let's talk about it, if the news leaks, then no one will be able to get this money. It's not that I can't believe everyone, this is everyone's interests, and it's not good to lose everyone's interests because of one person's speech. ”

Everyone laughed: "We still understand this." Who is going to have trouble with money? ”

Chen Jian took out a pen and paper and drafted a future share, income, and a clause that all proceeds will not be paid after the leak.

Several craftsmen looked at it, and they all signed their names, and took out small seals or the stamp on the ring in a unique style and pressed it.

"Even if this matter comes to an end, it will not be a problem for you to control the production matter. Let's take a look at other new machines. As now, all your daily expenses are paid by me, and I guarantee to give you a good environment, as long as I make what I want. If you make it, you will have profits, and you will be guaranteed to rely on a craft, and you will live much better than ordinary people. ”

"There are locksmiths, watchmakers, carpenters, blacksmiths...... Without someone, some things can't be made. I'm not afraid to tell you a good thing, the gun made before, the military side passed it, and gave us an order and an ordnance workshop license, and the income from it is still 10% of yours. If it is used on a large scale in the future, your name will also be tied to this gun, and everyone will know it. ”

Everyone is overjoyed, and it is certainly happy to get money, but it is even more difficult to think about being famous in the world. Although the overall structure was reminded by Chen Jian, without them, such a hammer structure would have been created, and many things were also perfected by the experience of these craftsmen.

Chen Jian paid 800 guns in advance for the 100% profit they deserved, and had already exchanged the money into paper tickets and handed them over.

The crowd did not shirk, feeling that this was what they deserved.

Not grateful to Dade, this is the scene that Jian Chen wants to see the most, and he is even happier in his heart.

I consulted with everyone about the multi-spindle spinning machine, which included carpenters and blacksmiths, as well as craftsmen who had been spinning apprentices.

As soon as the idea was spoken, everyone pondered it and felt that it was feasible.

The principle is not difficult, but the difficult thing is some details, which can be figured out long ago with today's technical level, but there is a lack of such an opportunity.

Now that everyone thinks about it, they all think that this thing must be going to make a lot of money. Once the ginning machine appeared, cotton was profitable, and a large amount of land was used to grow cotton, and spinning required machines that were more in line with cotton production.

Everyone also followed the previous rules, first kept it strictly confidential, and then talked about the benefits after they got it out.
