Chapter 244: Heng Clan


The iron umbrella that Hengzhi and others brought over from Lishi was originally just a sample, placed in the North and South groceries for display, and also to advertise the future sale of automatic umbrellas in advance.

Unexpectedly, Yuchi Jingde bought it for him and used it in and out all day long.

As a result, Luo Rong had several automatic umbrellas that were much lighter and didn't know how to take them out.

In the process of developing and researching this automatic umbrella, naturally more than one was made.

This time Hengzhi and the others brought over ten.

The one bought by Yuchi Jingde was the largest, heaviest and least practical among them, but it was bought by Yuchi Jingde.

Luo Yong judged it to be the most suitable one for advertising.

Who would have thought that there are people buying this, but they still use it every day after buying it?

"I heard that General Yuchi went into the palace and came out without his umbrella."

Luo Yong heard such rumors in the past two days at Taixue.

Needless to say, the iron umbrella must have been taken away by the emperor, and it was an unavoidable fate for it to be dismantled and studied.

Just do some research.

In fact, the automatic umbrella does not have much technical content.

The key is the spring inside the umbrella handle.

The reason why it can open by itself when you press the switch is because it is ejected by the spring.

When Luo Yong stayed in Lishi County, for a long time he thought that the iron smelting technology of this era was very backward.

An iron pot weighed several dozen kilograms.

How could the technology be developed?

It was not until later that they made threshing machines, and the emperor arranged for many craftsmen from Chang'an City.

After having some exchanges with those craftsmen, Luo Yong knew that before that, their local iron smelting technology in Lishi was different from that in Chang'an City.

It is very backward in comparison.

In fact, steel frying existed in the Western Han Dynasty, steelmaking technology was quite mature during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the steel pouring method was introduced in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, metal smelting has developed in an all-round way.

Due to its low efficiency, Baidu Steelmaking is no longer commonly used.

The iron pot Luo Yong bought before was still cast.

It is currently in Chang'an City, especially in In terms of weapon production, they are basically all forged, which is very close to the folk blacksmithing process more than a thousand years ago.

It was during the time when he was building a threshing machine that Luo Yong came up with the idea of ​​making springs.

The spring seems to be an inconspicuous thing.

Because Luo Yong was used to it, he didn't even notice how important it played in his daily life, until one day, when he came to this world without springs.

Last summer and autumn, Luo Yong went to Guannai Road to build roads.

After winter, he came to Chang'an City.

Since then, he has been developing in Chang'an City and got a north-south grocery store.

The disciples who stayed in Lishi County are not idle either.

Luo Yong and others are developing outside and need support from Lishi in many aspects.

In addition, several people headed by Heng's father and son are developing and researching new technologies.

All the energy and enthusiasm are invested in the product.

For people like Heng and his son, their enthusiasm for new things is definitely unmatched by Luo Yong himself.

When Luo Yong told them about a new idea, he just wanted some common things to appear in this era in future generations.

For the Hengs and his sons, that was a door to a new world.

I heard that in the past year or two, the Heng family and the Yin family have cooperated a lot, mainly in steel smelting.

What the Yin family wants to do is bearings, and what the Heng family wants to do is springs.

In the end, it was the Yin family who took the lead in achieving their goal.

Their products have now begun to be sold, and the Heng family is not slow in its actions.

I heard from Hengzhi that in addition to this automatic umbrella, their family is also working on producing a batch of spring cushions.

"I, Aye, said that I also want to use fine iron to forge other parts of Yanerfei, but it is not easy."

Hengzhi said to Luo Yong.

After all, their family is a carpenter.

Although their business has expanded in the past two years, they have accumulated a lot of money, and they can afford fine iron and hire craftsmen, but blacksmithing is not their specialty after all, and it is very difficult to play with it.

"There is no need to worry about this matter."

Luo Yong said to him: "I heard that the government has been able to use refined iron to make Yanerfei.

I think in a few years, there will be blacksmiths making Yanerfei accessories for sale.

By then we will just buy ready-made ones.

That is, it is still important to accumulate wealth right now.”

The iron smelting technology mastered by the imperial court is more advanced than that of the private sector.

The more their technology develops, it will inevitably lead to the development of private iron smelting technology.

If it doesn't work, Luo Yong can just help out when the time comes.

This time, just for the production of this spring, Heng and his son also spent a lot of effort and invested countless manpower and material resources.

Even with some information provided by Luo Yong, due to the backwardness and backwardness of raw materials and production tools, Scarcity makes every step difficult.

With the advent of the first batch of springs, their family almost set up a spring workshop for themselves.

This workshop has not yet made any profit, but just hiring craftsmen and consuming materials costs a lot of money every day.

Thinking of this, Luo Yong couldn't help but patted Hengzhi on the shoulder, feeling a little sorry.

When the Hengs and his son listened to his words, they priced a Yanerfei at 300 cents, which attracted many foreign businessmen to Lishi.

However, it did not bring much benefit to the Hengs car-making shop itself, and even It can be said that we have suffered a loss.

Now we have invested so much in springs.

"Ask your brother to make more car mats and umbrella handles, and earn more money before those people react."

Luo Yong felt that he was somewhat incompetent as a master.

"Of course."

Hengzhi said with a smile: "It's just that the local wages in Lishi have been getting higher in recent years.

Thanks to the Guannai Road, most of the people who come from there don't ask for high prices and are willing to work hard.

My brother is also willing to work hard."

I inquired with those people and went to them to find some skilled people.”

Okay, the poachers have gone all the way to Guannai Road.

If there is someone like Heng Huai in the family, Heng's business will not have to worry about it.

Hengzhi came here this time and was not in a hurry to go back to Lishi County.

As the most prosperous and prosperous city in this era, Chang'an City has naturally gathered a lot of advanced technologies.

People like Hengzhi are very interested in this kind of thing, and he can study everything he sees for a long time.

Luo Yong didn't let him live in the North and South groceries, so he made a room for him in the yard of Feng'anfang.

The yard here is not big, and the people like them are basically full.

There is a room specially used for storing goods, but it cannot be vacated for a while.

Luo Yong originally planned to ask Wulang and Liulang to sleep in his room and let Hengzhi sleep in their room.

After Hou Lin heard about this, he asked Qiao Junlin to sleep in his room and gave Qiao Junlin's room to Hengzhi.

In the end, it was Azhi who gave up her house.

She moved in with Si Niang and Qi Niang and gave the vacant house to Hengzhi.

It was appropriate for Ah Zhi and Si Niang and Qi Niang to live in the same room.

Anyway, they were close to each other on weekdays, and they seemed to have endless things to talk about all day long.

The main reason was that the two little ones talked and Ah Zhi listened.

It's just that there are differences between men and women after all, and it's always a bit inconvenient for Hengzhi to sleep in A-Zhi's room, but A-Zhi himself doesn't seem to care at all, and Hengzhi doesn't seem to think much about it, so Luo Yong and the others do.

Say nothing.

When Hengzhi and others came this time, in addition to a batch of groceries from the north and south, there were also a few samples of automatic umbrellas, and two full carts of umbrella handles.

These umbrella handles are also made of dianthus, and special tools are used to pass them through.

I heard that this process is very difficult.

A skilled worker can pass through a dozen umbrella handles in a whole day.

In addition, they need to be polished, baked, and oiled.

Install springs and other accessories.

The current price for such an umbrella handle to Luo Yong from the Heng family is thirty-five cents.

If it were sold to others, it would cost at least fifty cents.

The main reason was that the spring was valuable, and the reason why they were able to successfully create the spring was largely due to the information provided by Luo Yong.

With this batch of umbrella handles, I contacted the umbrella-making artists in Chang'an City who cooperated with their shop.

Soon, a batch of automatic umbrellas were put on the shelves of groceries in the north and south.

The covers of these umbrellas are all made of various high-end fabrics, and the tung oil is also the best and clearest.

Some are solid colors, some are embroidered with patterns, some are richly colored flowers, and there are also various bird and animal patterns.

Such automatic umbrellas are sold in groceries in the north and south, and the cheapest one costs a lot.

Others don't know the cost of this automatic umbrella, but Luo Yong's disciples know it very well.

An umbrella handle of thirty-five cents, plus some freight costs, plus fan materials and embroidered patterns, range from dozens of cents to one or two hundred cents, plus the wages for the umbrella craftsmen, An umbrella cost no more than 300 yuan at most, but the price Luo Yong set for them was nearly 2 yuan, which surprised his disciples.

For his disciples' questions, Luo Yong was naturally happy to answer their questions.

"If you want to be affordable, an ordinary oil-paper umbrella worth ten or twenty yuan is enough.

Those who can afford this automatic umbrella are not ordinary people.

How much does their clothes cost, how much does a pair of shoes cost, and how much does this umbrella cost?"

A hundred words, doesn’t it seem contemptuous and cheap?”

After all, these disciples of Luo Yong all came from poor backgrounds.

Even though the economic conditions have improved a lot now, most of them still pay attention to benefits in life, and most of them pursue high quality and low price when buying food and clothing.

Different classes have different ideas.

These disciples of Luo Yong only think from their own point of view, but often forget that others may not necessarily think the same way.

One or two pieces of money, for those rich people living in Chang'an City, Say, it’s nothing at all.

After Luo Yong said this, they felt that Master's words made sense.

Their master's words always make sense.

So these batches of automatic umbrellas were put on the shelves for sale.

They were hung, swung, opened, and closed.

Each one looked so delicate and grand.

After all, it is an item that costs two to three hundred yuan.

Many people can earn so much money in half a year.

After deducting food expenses, they cannot save so much in a year.

As for the retail price of one or two yuan, it is even more It scares many people away, as if they don’t even have the courage to take another look.

The children in charge of the daily necessities area on the second floor kept a close eye on these automatic umbrellas.

These umbrellas may be items they cannot afford in their lifetime, but they are related to the profits of North and South groceries, and North and South groceries are related to the livelihood of people like them.

The business in the shop has been getting better and better recently, and manpower seems to be a bit tight.

Luo Yong's disciples said that they may need to add more manpower in the future.

Over at Guiyifang, many children were eagerly looking forward to it, pointing out that the North and South Grocery could still ask for more people, and that they could be selected by the boss to work there.

Working in their shop, not only the food is good, but also clothes for all seasons.

If you are well fed, well dressed, and clean, your whole person will look different.

The children who stayed behind listened to the older children all day long about how good the shop was, and they often got to eat the cakes and bread they bought with their own earned wages.

Those pastries are so sweet and not like something they should have in their dusty lives, but they are always held in their hands. gd1806102:
