Chapter 671: Textile Development
After Li De left the workshop, he went directly back to Youzhou City to find Weili, and he was responsible for all the affairs of the trading house.
"Now you can buy cotton, and now it's time to show the strength of capital operation." Li De said lightly.
"I'm going to send someone to deliver the letter." Wei Li is also a resolute person.
Although Wei Li didn't care about the accounts of the vanguards, he also knew that Li De's investment in the workshop, and the income and expenditure of trade were very simple, as long as he used his brain, he could know what the situation was.
What's more, Wei Li is also a close person, and he knows some things about the workshop.
"The rest of the textile workshop depends on you, and now a large amount of cotton is needed to weave cloth, and this business is a good business." Li Dedao.
Wei Li's eyes were faintly shining, he knew something about the textile factory project, and the material of weaving was not only cotton, but wool was another very useful material.
With the current wool reserves, as long as there is a month, he is confident that he will be able to sell the wool imitation to the entire Sui Kingdom, and after some discussion, the two will immediately find someone to start making it.
The Vanguard's ability to act is more than just fast.
In less than two days, the textile factory started, and the conditions for recruiting workers were mainly women, and they were basically the families of the pioneer soldiers, and those who met the conditions went to the textile factory to help.
All they can do is help first, but in fact, it is not their turn to do the manual operation.
At the time of the stalemate in Taiyuan Province, the first batch of wool products in Youzhou had already been sold through caravans, and the new clothing style of wool shoulders was very popular among wealthy people.
Especially for merchants, the wool is worn with an inner shirt, which is very warm to wear inside the outer garment, and the new style of clothing is easy to wear.
Pure wool products, genuine, the price is not cheap.
Most of the first batch of textiles were digested by the people in the city before they were shipped out of Youzhou, and most of the people who bought them were soldiers.
With this kind of woolen sweater, they will be more comfortable when wearing armor, and they can afford to consume it, so Weili can only supply a small number of people.
Not only did the businessmen not make trouble, but they were very satisfied with it, and several large merchants saw the business opportunity, so they directly signed an exclusive supply agreement.
Wei Li is now a long-established mall, who doesn't know that the merchant wants to monopolize the supply power, how can he let them hold the throat of the vanguard, and the final agreement is still signed, but it is time-limited.
The first signed agreement was to limit the number of merchants and provide a month's supply of goods.
If this time is exceeded, the agreement will be automatically invalidated, and the re-purchase will need to be re-signed, which ensures the interests of the merchant in a short period of time and the profit of the supplier.
These things must be careful in business, otherwise a word difference may be a loss, don't look at the vanguard has a strong background, but in business, Youzhou is extremely concerned about the spirit of contract, which has to make more cautious.
Because everyone in Youzhou needs to abide by the contract agreement, even the vanguard, this is one of the reasons why Youzhou can develop into a Sui trade center in a short period of time.
It took Wei Li half a month to exchange the goods for real money and silver, and directly filled the treasury of the vanguards, precisely because of the profit that the textile factory recruited workers in an all-round way.
In just one week, the number of people has expanded from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and the textile workshops are now much more lively than the industrial ones, not because they have created wealth, but more because they are all women.
When the merchants went to buy goods, the news spread to the women of various state capitals, and they heard for the first time that women can also have their own careers.
The women of the Sui Kingdom are not all the kind of conformists, and there are many poor people who can only be sent to the rich and noble to work as maids if they don't find their own way, and if they are more miserable, they will be pushed into the "fire pit".
Now that there is a way out, many women who are unwilling to live with their fate all have a restless heart.
It is precisely because of this that the recruitment process is going very smoothly, but there is nothing that will pay a great price compared to the kind of things they imagined.
The women who came to work in the textile workshop were all arranged for room and board, and in the first few days, they were dealing with training matters such as getting acquainted with the environment and learning the regulations.
After going to work, their main job is to help with chores, and they have already learned that this is the probationary period, and everyone needs to start from the most basic work after joining the workshop.
After a period of time, it will be scored according to the usual performance and assigned to the next job, if you don't pass, you need to continue to do miscellaneous work, and if you can't pass the assessment three times, you can only do this job, or give enough money to find another way.
Those who pass the assessment will move on to the next job, and they will need to participate in training every once in a while, and after a few weeks, if they can master the corresponding technology, they can operate textile machines and become textile workers, and the salary will be relatively improved.
There is no shortage of steps for people to forge ahead in the textile workshop, opportunities are reserved for everyone, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can have achievements, and the large factories run by the pioneers in Youzhou basically have a very reasonable promotion system.
Li De was discussing with his parents in the Governor's Mansion about marrying the Lord of Yujun, in fact, he didn't say a word for a long time, and all the things were Pei Qingxuan's words.
Li De is also very helpless about this, don't look at him as the head of the family, in the matter of taking concubines, he really has to obey his parents without separating the family.
This matter really requires the eldest lady of the Li family to come forward to communicate, which is also related to Pei Qingxuan's reputation.
If she doesn't come forward and spread it, she will be said to be a jealous woman, which is really terrifying, so she can only bear it embarrassed.
"De'er, tell me what else you want to buy, you can't lose face if you pay more attention to it." Zheng Shuxuan asked very actively.
"Everything is subject to the arrangement of my mother and Qing Xuan, I feel that as the governor of Youzhou, I ......"
Li De didn't want to make the scale too big, it would be very public, he didn't like it very much, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by his mother.
"That's it, the scale of marrying the Jade County Lord is bound to be small, don't let the backer feel that our Li family doesn't pay attention to it." Zheng Shuxuan set the tone with one sentence, and the people who discussed it no longer said anything.
Li De couldn't laugh or cry, and he had nothing to complain about his mother's self-assertion, but now that he thought about it, he realized that it was too subjective according to his thinking.
No matter how you say it, you have to consider the identity of the Jade County Lord, and his mother thinks more about this than he thinks, so he just does it.
