Chapter 153 Wen Hou Yanwutang
Copper water can also be smelted. Generally, iron sheet replacement is used to refine it, but it is more people. After craftsmen become proficient in their monthly output.
According to Pu Tie, the monthly output is now 5,000 kilograms, and it is no problem to have a monthly output stabilized in a few months.
Lu Bu immediately issued an order to start building a separate casting workshop from the iron ore inside. There is nothing else here, and it specializes in casting square hole coins. Although the workshop is in the Limin Da Iron Mine, it is actually independent and only under the jurisdiction of the general logistics, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Lu Bu and Wang Heng.
I have a hard time without money. Now that I can mint money by myself, I realize that the cost of minting money is really not low. If it weren’t for the cheap labor, minting would really lose money. Otherwise, precious metals are naturally currency, because the smelting of precious metals requires very high technology, which ordinary people cannot master, and the cost of minting is high. It costs about a quarter of a penny, which is better to make money by selling iron.
However, this is of great importance after all. From the supervisor in charge of production to the craftsmen to ordinary workers, they all undergo strict reviews. Only after the review is passed can they become workers in the money minting factory. The pre-selected craftsmen some time ago were interviewed and reviewed again, and those who wanted to learn some skills and go home and do it themselves were all washed away.
A total of one supervisor, three craftsmen and ten workers were found. At best, it was a workshop or a small workshop.
The money is 12 times a day. If you calculate carefully, there is really not much profit. It is better to open up more land. However, copper coins are necessary, and they are a necessary medium for circulation. It takes 120,000 jin to cast ten thousand jin of coins. It is really enough to cost copper, and the loss has not been removed.
The supervisor in charge of casting copper coins was an expert and reminded Lu Bu: "My lord, copper coins only account for 60% of the copper content, while the other 40% are tin and lead. Some large investors have privately cast copper coins with copper coins that are even 50% of the content."
Lu Bu suddenly realized that there were so many tricks for the ancients to cast copper coins. This would make the profit much higher, after all, the price of lead is relatively low.
"We will ensure 60% of the copper content according to the normal ratio, and the quality must be sufficient. We cannot just focus on the output. If the other princes do not accept the copper coins cast, it will be troublesome," said Lu Bu.
Taxation, trade, and casting copper coins, Lu Bu is not short of money. The workshop for casting copper coins can be completed in a month, and once it is completed, it can start casting copper coins.
Not long after, the coin minting factory opened, and there were continuous copper coins made every day.
In the blink of an eye, it is the golden autumn month, and most of the food has been harvested. The people of Xuzhou celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
The autumn wind is gradually rising, and the scorching heat is far away.
Lu Bu, Chen Gong and some civil servants such as Bo from the government office distributed autumn clothes and pants to the needy people for free in the four gates of Xuzhou. The cost of one set is only twenty yuan, but it can keep the cold.
These days, the gentry class still has a very bottom line. For example, if the government distributes things to the needy people, no gentry will collect them. Because gentry has the pride of gentry, they still retain this pride even if they are in a downturn.
Xuzhou South Gate, Lu Bu, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Cao jointly distributed autumn clothes and pants to the needy people, and those who were poor and had no clothes lined up to collect them.
After everyone receives it, they will bow and thank you and wish Lu Bu and his wife a blessing.
The two ladies have been more than five months old and have a big stomach. They have become tired after standing for a while.
"Both ladies sit down, I'll post it in the future."
"Thank you for your concern."
As soon as Lu Bu got it, the person who received the clothes was too reserved.
After all, Lu Bu held military and political power, the governor of Xuzhou, the general of Xuzhou, and the Marquis of Wen who was enthroned today.
Many people received their autumn clothes and pants and cried excitedly.
This year is a difficult year, and it is also a year of struggle.
After this year's struggle, Xuzhou, which was originally not full, now has surplus grain.
Occasionally, some people's families do not have surplus grains, and the government will distribute some pumpkins, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. so that the people can make a living.
What's more, don't think that Xuzhou's agriculture has ended now. No, no. After the corn is harvested, the wheat and rapeseed fields begin to sow autumn.
But some people have started to grow carrots after working hard, mainly because of the 20,000 acres of land that have been cultivated by the government.
Sprinkle compound fertilizer, ox, mule, and donkeys and start growing carrots after plowing the land. The ones that were planted early have grown very tall.
The yield of carrots per acre is as high as 10,000 kilograms, and the extraordinary output is amazing.
Like pumpkin, carrots can be used as food and vegetables to survive famine, and are also a good feed for raising pigs and sheep.
Pigs and sheep often eat carrots to make it healthier and the meat tastes delicious.
On that day, the four doors distributed more than 4,000 sets of autumn clothes and pants, but they were not just pretending, but really.
Of course, helping the emergency but not the poor is just an activity during the Mid-Autumn Festival, indicating that Lu Bu and the people are having fun.
There are more than one happy events on the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Wenhou Martial Arts Hall hosted by Lu Bu has officially opened its doors to accept disciples.
Although the eldest disciple Pu Feng, the second disciple Liu Sanfu, Cao Ping, and Lu Tong also learned from Lu Bu, they were not masters and apprentices, but superiors and subordinates.
Lu Bu opened the door and accepted disciples and taught martial arts. As soon as this explosive news came out, it immediately became excited.
But don’t be too happy too early. The tuition fee starts at ten horses, and there is no limit on most. Entering the Xuzhou Martial Arts Hall has nothing to do with joining the army. You don’t have to participate in any military operations. You just practice martial arts and teach martial arts.
The main teacher is Lu Bu, and Feng Xiong, Hua Ji and Cao Xing teach the art of riding and shooting.
More than a dozen registered people came that day, Mi Hong's son Mi Liang, and Zhao Sheng, the son of the Zhao family.
You must have a certain martial arts foundation when you sign up, otherwise you won’t accept even if you come to 10,000 horses.
Feng Xiong was responsible for checking, requiring the children who came to him to be able to drive a bow of one stone, run five miles, and lift two hundred kilograms of things.
There must be no evil deeds, and no one who has bad deeds will accept them.
In order to support the scene, Lu Xin led dozens of children to perform martial arts on that day. The boxing and sticks were beaten very well, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Lu Bu was also a true teaching. The skills of fighting Sanda start with making sandbags.
That night, Feng Xiong was happy to see the account book.
Today, a total of fifteen students were recruited, and 210 horses were obtained. Although they were all farm horses, farm horses were also very precious.
In addition, tuition fees received are fifty stags per person.
As the saying goes, one school can catch up with ten medicine sellers, which is a huge profit-making industry.
Moreover, Lu Bu said first that in three years, he had to learn a skill, otherwise he would not recognize this apprentice. He would be a blow to those apprentice who wanted to live a life or a reputation.
Lu Bu is famous for saying the same thing, who dares to disobey?
