The moment the merchants contracted the workshop, the order was immediately delivered to the door.

And the reason is because of Jin Shang.

During this period, more and more Jin merchants came to Weihui Mansion, and the later ones were either coincidental or rushed to Weihui Mansion, there were already more than 100 Jin merchants in Weihui Mansion, and they have been waiting for these workshops to fall into place.

Because they were specifically responsible for trading with the Mongols, and what the Mongols needed most were daily necessities, such as iron pots, shovels, cotton clothes, paper, pens, and so on.

In the past, these Jin merchants went to various places to buy, and they were all very scattered workshops, which could not be satisfied at all, but the workshops of Weihui Mansion specialized in producing these, and the scale was so large.

Those Jin merchants are really happy, they don't need to go anywhere else, and the transportation cost is greatly shortened, Weihui Mansion is Taiyuan, and the key is to go up by water.

Hundreds of Jin merchants shot together, which directly activated the entire industrial chain of Weihui Mansion.

It was as if the entire Weihui Mansion existed for the Mongols.

This really surprised Guo Dan, and he planned to find orders and promote them by himself, but he never thought it would be so easy.

He really didn't plan to trade with the Mongols in advance, he was also just out of Beijing, he didn't understand the current trade market, and his eyes were always overseas, not in the northwest, which means that this was an unexpected joy, so you can imagine how great this potential is.

Jiangnan hasn't made a move yet!

It was the richest area in the Ming Dynasty.

Today's Ming Empire is not comparable to the small British Empire, perhaps there has been a blowout trend in technology, ideology, and system, but the market size is not at the same level.

Either don't activate Da Ming, once activated, it's a monster.

Today, Guo Dan made a special trip to Luwangfu to inspect, and he really wants to keep a low profile now, because he is famous, and he no longer needs to be high-profile to promote himself, but he is followed by hundreds of wealthy businessmen, including Liang Kui, and these big landlords, who can't keep a low profile at all.

"How do I feel like I've been abandoned by you."

At this moment, Guo Dan smiled.

Zhou Feng was surprised: "How can the virtuous nephew say this? ”

Guo said lightly: "You don't come to me to sign the order, don't forget, I am a tooth merchant, and I haven't caught any orders in front of me, my father-in-law will blame me." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Cao Da said, "Do you still care about this money now?" ”

"I love money, no matter how much or too little, remember to find me next time."

Everyone laughed and didn't say anything.

Looking for you yarn, not to mention that your commission is so high, the key is that there is no need for this, the proprietor is here, the workshop is here, and the goods are also here, I won't see it myself, why look for you.

Zhou Feng said with a smile: "We also love money, no matter how much or too little. ”

"Haha......!"

Here, they don't have to be hypocritical, they just like money, how.

"Unload the mill and kill the donkey, unload the mill and kill the donkey!"

Guo smiled lightly and shook his head.

During the chat, they came to the textile workshop, which was also the largest workshop in the entire Weihui Mansion, and it was full of women.

Qin Zhuang introduced: "Nowadays, 50% of the orders of our textile workshop come from cotton, silk only accounts for 20%, and hemp and other textiles account for 30%. The main reason is that the winter has been very cold in recent years, especially in Mongolia, and because Weihui Mansion produces a lot of cotton, although the grain is not harvested, this cotton is harvested every year, and now almost all of this cotton clothes are wrapped by those Jin merchants. ”

Guo Dan looked at Liang Kui and said, "If I knew this, I shouldn't have contracted the ranch to you." ”

Zhou Feng immediately said: "That is, it should be contracted to us dry restaurants." ”

Liang Kui hurriedly said: "Everyone, you can't say that, our cotton doesn't sell at a high price, you go out to buy it, it has to be a lot more expensive." ”

Qin Zhuang said: "But if you don't sell us, you can't sell it." ”

"That's right, too."

Liang Kui laughed happily.

Of course, he made money with food, but not much, and now, the cost is high and the risk is great, because the tenant farming system has been abolished, but with cotton and poultry, he earns far more than grain, which Guo Dan brought to them, so that their raw materials can be turned directly into money.

What else can they say.

During the conversation, they came to the leather workshop, which was now taken over by a leather merchant named Hu Yuan in the capital, who liked to engage in production, because the customers they faced in the capital were big bureaucrats, big aristocrats, and they had to be meticulous in order to sell the goods, and they had the technology and production experience.

For the leather workshops, the Jin merchants sold more goods, this time it was still encountered, there was no special delivery of goods here, the volume of goods was not much, and now the whole workshop is producing horse harness for Marseille.

It was Guo Dan who asked Chenchen to place the order.

At the same time, horse harness is accompanied by iron gear, and smelting is promoting the development of the coal industry.

And the papermaking workshop there also received a large number of orders from the Jin merchants, and the Mongolians were in great demand for paper.

Dye workshops are in short supply, the textile area needs dyes, and the five guns also need dyes, and the proprietor of the dye has found the tooth people of Linqing to buy the raw materials for making dyes on a large scale.

"In terms of profits, have you figured it out?"

After inspecting the circle, Guo Dan asked again.

Qin Zhuang said: "It has been calculated, but we have not yet got accurate results, after all, our account office is not as good as a Nuoya Bank, but the main difference is in the salary, we have never paid so many salaries." ”

Hu Yuan also said: "Those apprentices of ours in Jingshi, just take care of the food, and rarely give money, but here you have to give money, and there are restrictions." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Everyone is a businessman, no one will do a loss-making business, don't just pick on the ugly, say something good." ”

Qin Zhuang laughed, and said: "The good thing is that the output is more, thanks to your new production method, let us get twice the result with half the effort, calculated, almost able to offset the salary, in the past, an apprentice did one or two pieces a month, but here can produce hundreds of pieces a day." ”

The apprentice is cheap, but he can't produce much goods, one person is not paid, only eats, and produces one piece a month, while ten people are paid, and they can produce a hundred pieces, and the profits cancel each other out.

"But it depends on the order, and only when the order reaches a certain number can this production method play to its advantage." Hu Yuan said.

Qin Zhuang nodded and said, "Brother Hu is right, if there is no order, then we can't afford to support so many people." ”

You must know that this mode of production did not appear because of the increase in demand, it was brought by Guo Dan, and if there is no order, there will be only layoffs.

Guo smiled lightly: "Orders will only increase, and now we are only serving the Mongolians." ”

"That's, that's."

Everyone smiled and nodded.

Now they are full of confidence, because the Mongols alone can feed them, although the Mongols are small, but they are still much larger than the population of Weihui Province.

Guo Dan asked again: "Then are these workers used to it?" ”

Qin Zhuang said: "There are many problems, many people are lazy, it is difficult to adapt to the rules and regulations for a while, and after doing things for a while, they will be distracted." ”

"Also, they don't know how to deal with people, and they are used to doing their own thing. Yesterday there was a man who hesitated in the corridor for a long time, and I happened to meet him, so I asked him why he was here, and it turned out that he still couldn't make holes in the saddle, but he was embarrassed to ask, and he was in a hurry. ”

"Hmph, if you want to say that they don't know how to deal with each other, but they all like to sue, they can't see others well, there is nothing to do, but they sue every day, alas..... It's so sad for me. ”

This group of foolish women huddled together, or gossip, then there were ghosts.

Guo Dan snorted: "Don't complain, before you came, but I was in charge, it was really terrible at that time, but now it is much better than then, and it will get better slowly." ”

Qin Zhuang hurriedly asked, "Then I don't know how to deal with the virtuous nephew?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I just let them do this after they finish their work, if they don't delay the work, they will go, if there is really any problem, I will find the person in charge." ”

"That's right, hehe, but it's the first time we've managed such a big workshop, and we have to adapt to it."

"Let's go to the suburbs."

When I came to the south city gate, I saw that the convoy was blocked inside and outside the city gate, and people couldn't pass at all.

Guo Dan waited for a while and said, "Let's go to the north gate." ”

"It's about the same at the North Gate."

Zhou Feng said worriedly: "Virtuous nephew, this city gate is also a problem, it is too small, it is really inconvenient for goods to enter and exit, and now the curfew is lifted, but it is no different from the curfew, and it is also blocked at night, and people can't get through it at all." ”

The merchants complained.

This city gate is really too small, but there are so many large workshops in it, and the goods in and out can be imagined, and they are blocked every day, but the city gate was originally used for defense, and if the city gate is too big, the enemy can directly rush in.

Guo Dan sighed: "I can't help it, I also want to demolish it, but if I demolish it, the court will also demolish me." ”

When he was engaged in the project before, he was changing the pattern, widening the roads, demolishing unnecessary buildings, and strengthening transportation, but this city wall did not dare to be demolished, as a businessman, the city wall was to block the money from the outside.

Qin Zhuang sighed: "We also know this, and we are just talking." ”

Guo Dan looked at the city wall again, "But... But I felt that the wall was a little too old and not very strong, or I would have applied to the imperial court and we would have built a new, bigger, stronger one at our own expense. ”

"Rebuild?"

The businessmen said in unison.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "That's right!" Good no good? ”

"As long as the court agrees, of course we are willing."

Everyone nodded at the same time.

Everyone is willing to pay this money, and no one can stand it if they are blocked here for so long every day, so they will rebuild it, of course, it is suitable for businessmen.

"Let's talk about that. It seems to make way for us, go, get over quickly. ”

The guards at the gate were not stupid, and when they saw Guo Dan waiting here, they immediately stopped all the trucks coming in and out, and let Guo Dan and them pass.

I saw a group of wealthy businessmen sticking to the wall and moving out in small steps, what a sin!

When I came to the suburbs, the first thing I inspected was, of course, the farmland.

"There have been many days without rain, and today is estimated to be another year of poor harvest."

Liang Kui looked at the endless Zhuangtian, shook his head and sighed.

In the past few years, there has been a drought every year, but because the crops in Weihui Mansion do not rely on rain, but mainly rely on rivers to moisten, but the harvest is not enough.

Cao Da immediately said: "This grain is really a problem, if there is no food, the workshop will not be able to open." ”

"This can only be bought."

Guo Dan said: "Go to those big landlords in Jiangnan to buy it." ”

Liang Kui said: "Go to Jiangnan to buy, the transportation fee is very high, although you are exempt from taxes, warehouses, docks are also free, but the price of grain is limited, you may not make any money." ”

Guo Dan said: "I have been here for so long, I have been dealing with the food problem, and recently I am looking for talents in this area, if the food problem cannot be solved, then everything is a mirage, I plan to do so, the cost of transporting food, let's share it evenly, in this way, it will not cost much." ”

Zhou Feng hurriedly said: "This is okay, let's share it evenly." ”

Cao Da also hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Guo Dan didn't do this, and they had to go outside to buy food.

Qin Zhuang said: "Is it all the merchants to share equally, or just us?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Small traders are exempt, and businessmen who have a certain scale of workshops will come to share it evenly, and we will calculate it at the end of each year based on taxes." ”

Duan Changcun said: "It's not impossible, but you have to calculate first, how high the transportation cost is." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I'll find someone to calculate." ”

At this moment, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and I saw Chen Xusheng galloping over on horseback.

When he came to Guo Dan, he pulled the reins and said anxiously: "Guo Dan, someone from the court is here." ”

Guo Danzhi rolled his eyes and said, "It's considered to be here, I really don't know why the eunuch has been walking for so long." I thought to myself, is this the difference between four limbs and five limbs, but those limbs are not used for walking, and they also lose weight.

Chen Xusheng said: "I know this. ”

"You know? Why? ”

"Because it's not just the eunuchs who came, but also the three ministers, as well as Fang Shangshu, Jiang Zhishi and other adults."
