Chapter 106 Theater
"Raw material, tallow, lard, tar, rosin"
"Spice, Vanilla Oil, Retinol, Wintergreen Oil, Osmanthus Oil, Cinnamon Oil"
"Oil processing, pressing, filtering, cooking, saponification."
Li Ang used more than a dozen sheets of paper to write down the soap and soap making process as detailed as possible, from the selection of raw materials, to the production of production tools, to the protective equipment that workers need to use, and even waste, waste residue, and waste water. Handle it all.
Yu Country's handicraft industry is relatively developed. In Chang'an, Luoyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are already workshop owners who have purchased land, placed looms, and hired workers to mass-produce fabrics.
The number of workers ranges from dozens to hundreds or thousands.
Bring a large amount of tax revenue to Yu State every year. With detailed industrial drawings, it is not that difficult to switch to the production of soap and soap.
"This is the benefit of being a school disciple.
You don’t need to go out and deal with the person in charge of a big firm in person, and you don’t have to worry about your money being swallowed up, just sit and wait for the money to be collected. "
Li Ang said: "Furthermore, the Academy has mastered the violence itself and the absolute right to speak. No matter how greedy the workshop owners are in pursuit of profit, they must restrain themselves when facing the Academy, otherwise their patents will be withdrawn and their past income will be confiscated.
To a certain extent, it can protect the rights and interests of workers”
Li Ang looked at the drawings several times, and added more instructions on how workers should protect themselves during the production process. Then he put down the pen, and after the ink on the paper was dry, he put the paper back into the drawer. When preparing to return to the school the day after tomorrow, submit it to the patent office.
The patent he plans to register this time includes not only soap soap, but also absorbent cotton—absorbent cotton is hygienic and clean, soaked in pure wine, and can be used as a disinfectant cotton ball. It can also be used to stop bleeding, and the market as a monthly product will definitely not be bad.
Moreover, absorbent cotton is also one of the raw materials for nitrocellulose
"Soap, soap and absorbent cotton are daily necessities and fast-moving consumer goods, and the consumption rate is much faster than midwifery forceps. The profits brought are also much higher than those of public welfare midwifery forceps."
Li Ang looked up at the curious Chai Cuiqiao, and said with a smile, "We will be very rich soon."
"Ah, really?"
Chai Cuiqiao was pleasantly surprised at first, and then puzzled: "But it's not possible to sell cotton cloth made of absorbent cotton."
"One moment and another moment."
Li Ang shook his head helplessly and said: "The emperor and empress have already planned to publicize the matter of midwifery forceps, and the title of gynecological master can't escape.
Simply sell the production process of absorbent cotton, which can also benefit the country and the people and improve people's livelihood.
As for the seriousness of the impact, I would like to ask the doctors of the patent office to help hide my real name. "
Money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible.
Li Ang needs a lot of money to buy special materials, conduct experiments, or feed Mosi.
‘The only problem is, how can I buy a large amount of gold and silver with reasonable reasons.
In big cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang, the use of flying tickets for large-value transactions has become quite common, and gold and silver are used less and less as currency.
A large number of acquisitions in a short period of time will definitely attract attention. '
Li Ang thought silently: ‘The reason I used it before was to make surgical tools—this is still reasonable, after all, there are gold needles and silver needles in the medical field of Yu State.
Larger amounts, surgical tools are not enough.
Do you want to buy gold and silver in batches? Hide your identity and buy more times, and only buy a small amount each time,
Or create yourself a wealth-loving person who loves to collect gold and silver ingots? '
Judging from the amount required by Mosi, even if he earns hundreds of thousands of guan every day, he can still digest it.
‘Forget it, let’s wait until we get the first money. '
Li Ang shook his head. There are various ways to make money from patents, that is, they can be sold to big companies permanently at a price of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of guan.
It is also possible to authorize a designated firm for a period of ten or twenty years. During these twenty years, no patent fees will be charged to the firm.
It can also be authorized to all companies that want to produce goods at a low price, and the accumulation of a small amount can add up.
Li Ang said: "This should also be the fastest way to make money—except for writing characters."
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and Yang Yu's voice came, "Risheng, the Moon Appreciation Group is about to start! Get ready to go."
"So soon? Didn't you say it was evening?"
Li Ang walked to the courtyard with some surprise, opened the courtyard door, and the carriages of Yang Yu and Yong Hongzhong's family were parked outside the door.
"The carriage is ready."
Yang Yu pointed to the empty carriage behind, rubbed his palms and said excitedly: "There are too many people going today, so go early to avoid crowding with others. Have you brought your tickets?"
"Bring it."
Li Ang asked Chai Cuiqiao to go to the study to bring the two tickets, and after closing the courtyard door, boarded the carriage and headed for the West Market.
Along the way, many horse-drawn carriages were also seen driving towards the West Market. The convoy drove through Liquanfang Street, entered the archway of the West Market, passed the building complex, and came to a theater pavilion.
In the big city of Yuchu, there were Goulan Washes. At that time, it was still a temporary tile-roofed shack where actors performed operas and dramas.
With the passage of time, it has gradually evolved into a formal stage theater, with a larger and larger floor area, more luxurious interior and exterior decoration, and private boxes for dignitaries to visit and stay.
"arrive."
The carriage stopped in front of the largest pavilion named "Luoyang Tower". Yang Yu jumped out of the carriage excitedly and called Li Ang and others to follow.
There were a lot of people queuing up outside the theater. Yang Yu should have asked his servants to wait in front. It didn't take long before he brought Li Ang and others to the entrance of the theater, and handed the four tickets to Zhou Guo's special circle wearing half-armed clothes. doorman in cap.
"Mr. Yang Xiaolang from the Academy, please."
The guards with big arms and round waists have a respectful attitude. They are fluent in Chang'an Mandarin, and they can hardly hear the Zhou accent.
Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao followed Yang Yu, looking left and right at the decoration inside and outside the theater.
At the entrance of the theater, there is a wooden sign called "Zhaozi", on which is written what play is being performed today and the names of the famous actors - that is, the Jianyue Troupe.
In addition, there are colorful flags hanging on the wall, on which are written famous troupes that have performed in this theater in history. Equivalent to historical honor.
"Just like those high-end restaurants, cool wind symbols are posted to balance the temperature. There are also light notes on the ceiling of the auditorium?
It is estimated that it is used to reduce the noise of the auditorium and maintain the atmosphere of the stage. Pretty professional. "
Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao were talking in low voices, when they suddenly heard shouts from ahead.
"Will you watch the road! Do you know how much I paid for this satin when I was covered in dust?!"
A middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body was stalking his neck, patting the dust and fruit crumbs on his brocade clothes, and at the same time angrily scolded the servants in the clothes of the Jianyue Troupe.
The boy kept nodding his head in apology and greeted him with a smile. Behind him stood an old woman holding a broom and dustpan with a slightly dull expression.
The performance is about to start for a while, and the staff of Jianyue Theater Troupe and Luoyang Building talked about it, and they gave away tickets and apologized, and persuaded the man in brocade clothes to go back to calm the storm.
At this time, Yang Yu had already found his seat, stood there and waved: "Risheng, Cuiqiao, this way."
"oh."
Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao turned their heads, walked towards Yang Yu, and took their seats.
The originally congested aisle started to pass by again. The boy from Jianyue Troupe breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said softly to the old woman holding a broom and dustpan: "Grandma, you should go back first. It's all right now."
“.”
The old woman in gray opened her mouth, her expression was still a little dazed, and she walked quietly to the backstage of the theater accompanied by a servant.
The citizens of Yu State who saw this scene were not surprised. Many big theater troupes would spend money to support the old people in the previous theater troupes.
The gray-clothed old woman was walking towards the backstage of the theater. The skin on the tip of the callused index finger cracked slowly and silently, and a drop of blood oozes out of it.
tick tock.
Blood drops dripped on the thick red carpet in the aisle, and quickly disappeared.
