Chapter 150: Knowledge application

Everyone shook their heads and said.

"About six million."

"Then do you know how many people there are in the whole world?" Shang Wen asked again.

They all shook their heads and said.

"About" Shangwen didn't know enough about history. But in order to improve the level of awareness of everyone. Then roughly expand this number to increase the degree of surprise and arouse the interest of all people. "

Shang Wen stretched out three fingers.

"About thirty million." Shang Wen stretched out his finger and said.

"Think about it, so many people, how much food, how much clothes, how much salt, and how many arms these countries need to support an army," Shang Wen said.

"At present, Daqin has exported about a few hundred muskets and 30 cannons." Shang Wen was not sure how many Qin exported during his illness. But in order to improve the authenticity of the numbers. Had to deal with it vaguely. Such unconscious use of fuzzy numbers can improve people's associations with numbers.

"If these weapons are exported, what are the benefits to Daqin, you will ask. You don't understand, why do you want to export these weapons? Isn't the strength of a country armed with these weapons?" Shang Wen's vocabulary is relatively new. Most of them don't understand. But as long as Shang Wen can continue. These don't care.

"Weapons are also commodities. Commodities can bring us a lot of benefits. The same is true for countries. National exports of commodities can also bring us more benefits.

"One artillery, we can sell for three hundred gold."

"A musket, we can sell for one gold." Everyone was surprised to hear these figures.

One cannon, three hundred gold, how many cannons can be cast by three hundred gold. It is estimated that there are almost a hundred doors. Everyone was surprised to hear such numbers.

"My lord, Qin Shangwen is..." Li Si whispered.

King Qin just waved his hand and motioned not to speak.

"Everyone is surprised, compared to our daily salary, we are still far behind." Shang Wen said.

"But this kind of good day will eventually come to an end."

"The Six Nations are not fools, they also have brains. If they realize the importance of artillery, they will buy it. When they come to buy, our price will be higher, but if the price is too high, they will look for another One way, this way is cheaper and more convenient. And it's convenient. It's quicker."

"They can imitate." Shang Wen pointed out the key points directly. Shangwen doesn't doubt that the Sixth National Congress is doing this. In fact, Zhao Guo has already begun to do so. Shangwen knew that the artillery mechanism was very simple. Especially this smoothbore gun. As long as a country can smelt a large amount of metal and have a model, they will be able to imitate a large amount of it. And the quantity must be larger than its own production scale.

Shangwen is not afraid of their imitation, because they can imitate artillery, but there is no shell. Sooner or later they will send spies to get gunpowder. Shangwen is not afraid of them at this point, because the granular gunpowder is produced separately. The last process, graphite polishing, is precisely that they don't know how to make this kind of thing.

"When they can imitate a large number of them, they will not need our artillery, and we will not be able to take away the three hundred gold. Perhaps you think that it may be nothing to take away the three hundred gold. But it is you who have the greatest impact. ."

"First of all, the factory does not make any profit. Then, your salary will not be issued. Then, you can go to Six Nations, but there are also a large number of craftsmen in Six Nations. How much can you earn? Can you get more than Qin State? ?" Shang Wen said.

"Competition can generate vitality. In order to defeat the threat of imitations and the artillery we produce, we need a lot of manufacturing, the cost of manufacturing is lower, and the performance is better than them. We can lower the price because we can produce more Many artillery, but they can't, because of what?" Shang Wen asked.

"Because of what. Old Chen, can you talk about it?" Shang Wen asked.

"Mr. Qin, old people don't know." Chen Da said respectfully.

"Tell you." Shang Wen said.

"Because we have mastered new technology."

The production process is different because of the different ways of thinking derived from the human brain.

Our gun barrels can be completed by forging, and the Six Nations may adopt the method of casting. In this way, we have an advantage in production. For building, we can squeeze out the bubbles generated in the casting. Similarly, if the six countries use technologies such as drilling, we will fall behind. In this way, we have to import muskets from the six countries instead. "

"Are we willing to see this happen?"

"No, of course we don't. Therefore, we need to use our brains. Invent and create something new. At the same time, our information is only open to our own people. All others are blocked. We share information. We can rely on this. New inventions are used to create more new things. The six countries have to spend a lot of wealth before buying our products. In this way, we will get more wealth."

"Specifically, what kind of wealth you will get, let's talk about it specifically." Shang Wen said and sat down.

"There is a kind of right called intellectual property. What is intellectual property?" Shang Wen said slowly.

"In layman's terms, it is your good idea, a good invention. No matter how big or how much the invention is. As long as you think it out. It is useful for our production, and our production is used, we will give you a fortune. Remuneration. There are two methods for this remuneration. A one-time buyout. It’s such an invention and it will be mine in the future. I will pay you a large sum of money. You can do whatever you want with this money. Just like , This invention." Shang Wen said as he took out a cone-shaped bullet.

"We have to pay Zhang Yuan a large sum of money to use this bullet. But in order to achieve this goal, we have to pass a whole set of bills. I will play this to the king."

"The other is that I will pay in installments. This method is more competitive because of a technology. It is impossible to be used for a long time, a new technology, and some unique vitality. As other technologies mature, eventually It will replace the original technology. For example, this kind of tapered bullet, a streamlined bullet may appear in the future. After it is launched, the speed will be faster. If power is required, there are bullets that will explode after hitting the human body. These are these. They are all technology patents. The state protects these rights."

"These rights are applied to our production, and we have unlimited advantages. We have such advantages. The six countries can only pay for our products obediently."

Everyone nodded and signaled that they understood what Shang Wen said, that is, as long as they are willing to use their brains. Just adopt it. Then this kind of knowledge will bring unlimited benefits to oneself. The money is huge. And it was easy.

"Do you understand?" Shang Wen asked, looking at everyone's thinking faces.

"En." Everyone nodded.

"and so."
