Chapter 14 Woolen Writers

"Then we'll buy eleven technologies," Wen said. Each house is separated. There are those who produce wool yarn, those who produce wool, and those who produce wool. In this way, the supply of each other, the goods are complete, and it is not possible to sell for more money. In the future, other families will also run this, they are all working alone, how can they fight with our eleven workshops? Didn't our Wen family always say that if the goods are not complete, they will not be sold for money? The more our products, the more customers we can attract, how can it be better than selling alone. Besides, a workshop is 20,000 taels, and I will give a quarter of the shares of each of them, that is, 5,000 taels of silver. So I gave fifty-five thousand taels of silver. If you agree, I'll go back and ask Mama to bring you the silver ticket. I only get a quarter of the dividends, at least in the past ten years, the outside affairs have been handed over to me. ”

"Each of you has only fifteen thousand taels of silver. It may not be possible to take it out for a while, but it can be like a bank loan, which I can go to and tell the bank, even if the loan of your restaurant or inn has not been paid off for a while, it doesn't matter, I will give a guarantee, and I will definitely be able to lend out. We build a woolen writer in the Northwest. ”

That's a really good idea. Everyone's eyes lit up. They don't understand the group, but they still understand the principle of joining forces to do business. Moreover, eleven workshops are much more powerful than one. They are also very satisfied with the share ratio proposed by Wen, which only accounts for a quarter, so that it will not affect their daily operation, that is, the right to operate, and the decision-making power is still in their own hands.

Moreover, Wen is very open and honest. In the past ten years, she has blocked all official things for everyone. That's a lot easier. In this way, Wen's quarter of the dividend is not much. What's more, the Wen family also had to take out more than 50,000 taels of silver with real money.

A lot of these things are taken from dry stocks, that is, empty gloves white wolves, not a penny, just dividends. However, the Wen family didn't do this, can this still satisfy the Wen family?

After Wen finished speaking, he saw that everyone was discussing excitedly. Just stand up. He said politely: "Uncles, this is a big matter, you can discuss it slowly." You know more about the above things than I do. I still have business to do. I took my leave. Wait until you're done. Send someone to talk to me. So I asked someone to bring me a silver ticket. There are also those who need my greeting from the bank, and when the time comes, come to my house. I'll have someone take my name card and go to the bank with my uncles. ”

After speaking, Wen Yingying saluted and left.

After the Wen family left, these people in the Wen family were not calm. They all started to discuss. Some said that they took a fancy to the technology of woolen weaving, some said that they liked the technology of tweed weaving, and some said that they liked the technology of tweed weaving. Some said that they only had four or five thousand taels of silver in their hands now, and they had to borrow a large amount from the bank, tens of thousands of taels. Some said that they could sell some of the land they had allocated. Now there are more people in the city, and there are more people buying land, and the land management is really not enough, even if new seeds are planted and new technologies are used, there is still not much production. The land here is barren and ripe every year, which is really not as good as the land in the south of the Yangtze River. It's better to sell some of it and exchange it for living money, so that you can borrow a little less money from the bank in the future.

After everyone talked about it, they went home to discuss with their families, and this night, the Wen family was calculating under the lamp and assigning tasks.

Mr. Moon also held a small family meeting at home. He had a wife, two concubines, three daughters, and two sons. The sons are all born of grandchildren. The daughters are all concubines. Now the two sons are older, and the eldest son has married a daughter-in-law and has given birth to a little granddaughter. The daughter is still young, and she has not settled on anyone.

Wen Xianyong summoned all the family members and told him about the matter. Then he said, "I've decided to buy tweed weaving technology." It may cost 20,000 taels of silver. I don't have so much silver on hand now, so I should still be able to take out two thousand taels. In addition, I still have a vacant land in my hand, which is enough to build a workshop. This saves money on land purchases. However, it also has to be built, and there is a lot of money. In addition, the restaurants and inns I built have been repaid every month, and it has been half a year now. There are still more than 20,000 taels left to be repaid. However, I expect it to be clear next year or the year after. ”

"Now I need fifteen thousand taels, excluding my own land, I still need about thirteen thousand taels, I have two thousand taels, and I still need one thousand taels. Then you have to borrow 11,000 taels of silver from the bank. I checked the accounts in my hand. At the beginning, I was given more than 1,000 acres of land outside the city, as well as two pastures. The pasture still has to be preserved. After all, you have your own pasture, and if it is inconvenient to buy wool, your own pasture can respond to emergencies. I don't plan to keep the field, but if I sell it, the market price is good now, and I can probably sell it for 5,000 taels of silver. Then we will only need to borrow six thousand taels of silver. If the woollen mill runs well, maybe it will be able to pay off the debt in a year, you see? ”

As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked, especially Wen Xianyong's wife, she couldn't accept it, there was no land at home. She first disagreed, there was no land at home, so what should I do to eat? She said, "Sir, what were our lands given to us at the beginning?" Now that they've been sold, what will they do in the future? Without the fields, what will we do with the food we eat? ”

Wen Xianyong said: "Without fields, we are hungry? When has our house eaten the grain produced in our own village? Don't we always like to eat fine rice from the south of the Yangtze River, and we are not used to eating wheat from the north, and don't we all buy the grain at home? How many grain shops are there in Tiebiguan? Can you still eat without your food? In the past year, we have seen that the entire Tiebiguan Road is full of teams transporting grain. The grain of Nanyang and the grain of the south of the Great Chu River are all transported here. Not only do we have enough to eat. Even the hundreds of thousands of people who came to work from other places suddenly had enough food to eat. ”

"I have also taken you to Shanhai City, and I have seen the transactions between the tribe and our Great Chu merchants. How much grain did we sell to those tribes during the year? Even those grassland tribes, we can raise them in Dachu, and we can still eat without you. However, in the future, we will no longer have a Zhuangzi, so we will build a larger grain hoard in our own house and store more grain in case of emergency. Why do you have to ask for the grain produced by your own Zhuangzi? ”

Wen Xianyong's wife was silent when she said this, and she wanted to refute it, but she couldn't find a reason.

Wen Xianyong ignored his wife, and as for the two concubines next to him, he didn't even look at it. It's still not their turn to speak. Wen Xianyong's eldest son thought about it for a moment and looked at his wife, who nodded slightly. He plucked up the courage and said, "Father, I think it's possible." The fields here in the northwest produce too little interest. Once it ripens in a year, even if it uses new seeds, it doesn't make much money. For this thousand acres of land, we should not be too harsh on the tenants, and we must also take into account the reputation, so that our income this year is less than two hundred taels of silver. There are too few commissions. It's better for us to make a profit for a month in a restaurant. It's really not cost-effective to send someone to take care of it. If we sell it, we will not only have living money, but we can also take back the manpower, and we will also have manpower to build a workshop. ”

Wen Xianyong nodded with satisfaction. His wife saw that the eldest son said this, and she was silent. I had to agree.

Wen Xianyong said: "Then the matter is decided. Originally, I was in charge of all these things at home, and the eldest and second were in charge of the affairs of our house, as well as the affairs of the ranch and the grange. However, if the workshop is opened, I may not be able to manage the business of inns and restaurants. So be it. The business of the inn and the restaurant is left to the boss. The second child also has to learn to do things and manage the two ranches outside the city. ”

The eldest and second were happy.

Wen Xianyong's family decided this way. The rest of the houses did the same thing. The next day, everyone met again in the ancestral hall of the Wen family. Told the decisions of each family, regardless of how the money came from, they all agreed to Wen's approach anyway. After they negotiated, they wrote a written contract, sent it to Yan Shupeng's Yan Mansion, and handed it over to Wen's companion. In the afternoon, Wen sent a grandmother with two clips.

The grandmother came out of the Wen family, had a child, and knew the masters of each house, she first saluted everyone, and then said: "Our lady handed over these two things to the slave and maid, the same is 55,000 taels of silver, and every 5,000 taels of silver is attached to a contract, which is the basis for dividends in the future." It's eleven copies. Another small clip is Madame's post. Let the slave take this post and follow the lords to the bank for a loan. ”

When the Wen family saw that the Wen family was so neat, they didn't postpone it, and hurriedly followed this grandmother to the bank with the paperwork. Because of Wen's guarantee, things went exceptionally well. Who doesn't know that now Wen's status in front of Chen Wenhui is similar to Wan Shuhui back then. These people from the bank did a good job and delivered the money tickets that each family needed to you.

These people in the Wen family couldn't help but sigh, some people in the court are just easy to do. In the past, they also came to take out loans, and the procedures were very complicated. I took out a loan after a round of investigation, and this time it was so easy. This made them feel that it was really a good thing to let Wen's participate in the shares.

After getting the money, the families began to get busy. First went to the patent office, bought a patent, and then went to the black house to order tools, and then built a factory, recruited people, and sent people to those tribes in Shanhai City to buy wool.

This is how the woolen writer was established. Later, it really became a huge family in the northwest, with huge wealth in its hands. (To be continued......)
