Time passed slowly, it was already the middle of December in the solar calendar, and according to the lunar calendar, it was about to enter the end of November, and it was not far from the New Year's Festival.

The Spring Festival is always the most important and lively festival for the Chinese, and it stands to reason that the Jin merchants located in Shanxi have replenished the goods, and most of the caravans will rest and go home for the New Year, which is a tradition of the Chinese.

This year, slightly different, Baotou's various products, after the winter, a large number of listings, first of all, cotton, a large number of cotton cloth was printed and dyed into a variety of colors, through the guò caravan, radiating to the entire northwest of China, central China, and even East China, the beginning of the rise of the Baotou cotton textile industry. In addition, a large number of products in other factories are also on the market, soap, soap, some simple handmade supplies, such as feather dusters, glassware, matches, towels, quilt noodles, these new products, almost concentrated in this month, is very sensational, Baotou people can see novelty things every day, as for Baotou around, Datong, Suiyuan and Taiyuan, these products, will also be listed.

Chinese have a habit, New Year, will wear new clothes, even if only tear off two feet of cloth, can not be an adult, always to be a child, usually, during the New Year, in addition to the cloth shop, the dyeing workshop is also the best time for business, generally black, blue and other colors are more people. The heavy black cloth and blue cloth launched by the textile mill are bright in color but uniform, and the most important thing is that they do not fade, which immediately grasped the pulse of the market.

For so many years, I have bought cloth for so many years, and there are some large dyeing workshops, there are such unique formulas, which are also hidden, and are rarely used in ordinary blue cloth and black cloth, and most of them are some high-end fabrics, sold to poor men, and there is a few money, which is equivalent to filling the gap, and as soon as the cloth is listed, it has triggered a rush to buy.

For Baotou, the color does not fade, is after the color is dyed, one more layer of treatment, for a single, or small dyeing workshop, this is a bit wasteful, will increase a lot of costs, for bulk business, the cost has only increased a little, but the price, has risen a lot.

The dyeing workshop also has to make money, the cloth produced from Baotou, under normal circumstances, in addition to the cost of cotton, is the cost of workers, there are many workers used, the wages are also very high, the per capita benefit of workers, but it is extremely high, not to mention a cotton ingot 2 bales of cotton yarn, now there is a slight increase, under normal circumstances, a worker can control zhì 200-300 cotton ingots a day, in this way, a day is one or two bales, the output is extremely amazing, compared to the salary of dozens of yuan a month, it is really nothing.

Productive forces are always the biggest factor, Marx's theory of capital, clearly mentioned that capitalists are to extract the surplus value of workers and obtain wealth, after the workers' surplus labor force is squeezed to a certain extent, it will naturally trigger a rebound, which is also the end of the 19th century, the beginning of the 20th century, the fundamental reason for the frequent occurrence of the workers' movement, and even created a huge red empire that affected the entire 20th century, from 1918 onwards, almost heavy events, are directly related to this empire.

According to Marx, such a contradiction is irreconcilable, but who knows, but it can be alleviated, the productivity is constantly improving, the labor intensity of each worker is decreasing, but the value generated is increasing, although the surplus value of exploitation is growing, the income of workers is really increasing, this is a way to alleviate it, and it is also an important way to solve the relationship between labor and capital after World War II in later generations, the contradiction between workers and capitalists is slowing down day by day, when a person spins a little bit a day, According to a fraction of this wage, crazy squeezing of surplus value, with spinning a bag or more, according to this tenth, or even one hundredth of the wage, this wage range is completely different, such a ratio, for workers, is a real improvement in treatment.

Take the current cotton textile factory as an example, each worker makes about 2 bags of cotton yarn every day, 400 pounds of cotton cloth, the cost will not exceed 130 yuan, but cotton yarn, generally between 160-180, is equivalent to each worker, can earn 30-50 yuan a day, some high-count yarn earns more, in this case, take out one-fifteenth, or even one-thirtieth, to pay the workers wages, for the capitalists, is also acceptable.

On the contrary, in other factories in the world, if a single ingot is squeezed to one-third or even one-half, even if the wages of the workers are squeezed to the extreme, they are reduced to 5 US dollars, or even lower, and each worker may not be able to earn 10 yuan, and if the proportion of this surplus value is squeezed to one-thirtieth, the workers will hardly have much wage, or even survive.

Coming to this era, Yang Yuanzhao may not be able to change this era, but he can improve productivity and make the lives of workers better under the circumstances he can, and at the same time take into account the interests of investors.

After more than half a year of development, Baotou has changed a look, from a small town of border trade transactions, into an industrial town, the output of various products, so that here has completely changed a look, at this time, including Hou Jinsheng such landlords, have tasted the benefits of road construction, in the past, Baotou did not have such a large transport capacity, and there was not so much output, one or two hundred caravans a year, it was able to transport some products in Baotou in and out, now, there are several more large factories, the number of products produced is huge, Transportation has become a bottleneck, in August and September, the machine equipment from abroad, lost in Taiyuan for several months, and there is a tendency to accumulate more and more, until the highway from Baotou to Taiyuan is repaired, it is quickly transported in.

The most intuitive example is the four-wheeled carriage, usually the two wheels can pull about 600 kilograms, the four wheels are at least 2 tons, the speed, the two wheels are about 10 kilometers, the four-wheeled 40 kilometers fast speed and three times the capacity, superimposed together, is 12 times, 12 times the increase in capacity, all of a sudden, let Baotou and Taiyuan between, become busy, road tolls are profitable, not to mention, they have also obtained real benefits, previously for various reasons, can not transport products, such as non-staple food, vegetables and the likeIt is also possible to trade between two places, not to mention some heavy bulk products, cement and bricks, and all of a sudden, the market is completely opened.

In the past, only in the city, can see the four-wheeled carriage, between Baotou and Taiyuan, back and forth, a large number of raw materials are transported in, a large number of industrial products began to be shipped out, among the factories, the carriage transporting goods is endless, among the ticket numbers, the transaction of funds is also one after another, the Weijia ticket number, as the account opening ticket number of the Baoken system, in just half a year, especially in the last one or two months, the capital amount and trading volume, fully increased by 12 times, even Wei Ming's face, is also a smile all day long.

The sound of horses' hooves is urgent, such a high speed, it rarely appears in Baotou now, now Baotou, not the small town before, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people in the urban area, and now Baotou, in addition to tens of thousands of people in the urban area, there are 200,000 workers, providing necessary support and logistics for these workers, there are also tens of thousands, which forms a large city with a total number of more than 300,000, but Baotou is so big, with the spaciousness of the industrial area, the old city is not renovated, it is still relatively crowded, plus the merchants from all over the world, Although most of them are Jin merchants, it also makes it crowded here, and generally fast horses can't run.

Poking his head out of the window, outside, a knight covered in blood, was beating his horse and galloping, around, there was a crowd of people who were urgently evading, the knight roared loudly, while identifying the direction, the direction of the horse's advance, it was the reclamation company. Something happened, this was the only thought in Wei Ming's heart.

Eager to settle down the things of the bank, Wei Ming immediately went to the Baoken Company, Baotou's current development, the Baoken Company is the key, once something happens, the Baoken Company is also the first to bear the brunt, he as a shareholder of the Baoken Company, must go as soon as possible, he is also very curious, what happened.

was also alarmed by the fast horse, as well as Hou Jinsheng and Jiang Wenhou, the two of them were drinking tea together, and the fast horse passed directly from the teahouse, and he couldn't think about it.

For a time, several important shareholders, after discovering that something had happened, all went to the Baoken Company, and among the Baoken Company, when the fast horse arrived, directly rushed into it, about ten minutes later, several of Liu Shu's long-term entourage, quickly jumped out of the Baoken Company, at this time, even ordinary employees knew that something was wrong, because these long-term entourages had to notify all the shareholders of the Baoken Company.

Yang Yuanzhao was alarmed in front of the test bench, the yarn-dyed factory has been on the right track, even if it is the existing 21 different colors of canvas, it is enough to make the yarn-dyed factory foothold, not to mention the checkered cloth, multi-yarn-dyed and other fist products, close to the printing and dyeing factory of the yarn-dyed factory, occupy a large piece of land, become an important supplement to the printing and dyeing factory, from the spinning factory, to the weaving factory, to the printing and dyeing factory, the yarn-dyed factory, forming a relatively complete industrial chain, the only shortcoming, I am afraid that there are only raw materials, think about it, The company will obtain sufficient sources of raw materials next year.

During this time, Yang Yuanzhao's mind was placed on the material room, the all-in-one machine is the speed machine of material research, but basic research, still need personnel, in the end, what aspect is needed, whether it is cultivated by himself, or recruited abroad, this requires him to study carefully, fortunately, at this moment, Baotou's demand for materials is not high.

Being disturbed in front of the real stage was the most intolerable for Yang Yuanzhao, but before he could get angry, the news that came out of Xiaoman's mouth made him change color, he groaned for a while, and immediately set off and rushed to the reclamation company.

When he arrived at the Baoken Company, Yang Yuanzhao was almost the last among the shareholders, and even Yang Yue from the Agricultural Research Institute arrived. ”RS
