Wu Zheng nodded with satisfaction and continued to drink, but he always felt strange in his heart.

No, these three girls came here at the same time, presumably it would never be as simple as sending a chicken soup, so they put down the bowl and said, "Say, what's the matter with me?" ”

Wu Zheng looked at Qian Jinxuan, who smiled but did not answer.

Looking at Zhou Simin, Zhou Simin's eyes dodged, but he just smiled vigorously.

looked at Wu Xiaomei, but Wu Xiaomei did not evade, and said straightforwardly: "Brother, these days, we have recruited 200 weavers, more than 100 embroidery girls, and more than 60 tailors. ”

"Hmm...... The action is quite fast, continued. ”

"But there are still not enough people."

"Oh...... Is business so good? Wu Zheng was surprised, "Didn't you sell too cheaply as I said?" ”

Wu Zheng confessed at the time that the reason why "fashion" is sought after is mainly because of the rarity of things, followed by the celebrity effect.

Celebrity effect, these three women are born with it, quasi-princesses, princesses, county princesses, these three women appear together, it is the best celebrity effect, and even, to some extent, this sensational effect will surpass Wu Zheng himself.

Therefore, Wu Zheng told them to make things scarce and expensive, a style, sell at a high price leisurely, and sell it for three months to start reducing the price layer by layer, until the warehouse is cleared.

Wu Xiaomei pointed to herself, glared at Wu Zheng and said, "How can it be sold cheaply, a set of robes and accessories is sold for a hundred taels, can it be called a cheap sale?" ”

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded, one hundred taels?

Even if the land price of Hangzhou Mansion has cooled down with the concept of a new city, an ordinary one-acre yard has to be three hundred taels.

A set of clothes sells for a hundred taels, so naturally it can't be cheap, but it is sold high.

But the problem is that at such a price, there is not enough manpower, which means that there are too many people to buy, so that nearly 400 weavers, embroiderers, and tailors are not enough to work hard.

Wu Zheng is indeed surprised by the wealth of the people, in the past four years, he knows the life of the people at the bottom, as long as the ordinary people in eastern Zhejiang are willing to work, they do not have to worry about not having enough to eat, but they are not enough to consume such high-priced clothes.

"Little sister, how many pieces of clothing have you sold these days?"

Wu Xiaomei said proudly: "More than two hundred and eighty pieces." ”

"Poof" Wu Zheng sprayed a foot away, in exchange for Wu Xiaomei's white eyes.

Taking the sweat towel handed by Qian Jinxuan, Wu Zheng asked helplessly: "Four hundred people, more than 280 pieces in a month?" With an average of less than 10 pieces a day, how lazy are you? ”

Wu Xiaomei gnawed her teeth and said: "Brother is sitting and talking without low back pain, this weaving, embroidery, cutting, which one doesn't take time?" Employees work five hours a day, isn't it fast enough? ”

Wu Zheng will realize here, yes, in this era, making clothes is all handmade, and weaving and embroidery itself is slow work.

Wu Zheng frowned and said: "Then you can't just tailor, as for weaving and embroidery, just buy it directly from private weavers." ”

Wu Xiaomei said: "That's not good, didn't my brother say it, I want to make the workshop famous and signboard." The clothes we make are the only ones in the world. ”

Wu Zheng was speechless, and said with a wry smile: "Then what are you looking for me to do?" If you want money, just find Mo Lao, if you want manpower, where will I get the manpower? ”

Wu Xiaomei shook her head and said, "We have the silver, not only do we not ask you for it, but we can even help you." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, there was no one in this tone, didn't he sell more than 200 pieces of clothes, one hundred taels, only 20,000 or 30,000 taels, but he said that he wanted to help himself, hey...... What kind of world is this?

Wu Xiaomei said: "We just want manpower, brother, you have to help us." ”

Wu Zheng spread his hands, rolled his eyes and said, "There is only one person, well, it's here, take it." ”

Qian Jinxuan pursed her lips and smiled: "My husband has someone, but he doesn't know it?" ”

Wu Zheng was stunned and said, "How can I have a weaver?" ”

Qian Jinxuan said: "Yuxian Street, the weaving house north of Hulin Academy, there are 8,000 standing weaving households, and more than 26,000 show girls are registered. ”

Wu Zheng suddenly realized, "But this is the weaving house of the government, and the annual output of silk fabrics bears nearly forty percent of the government's taxes, how can it be handed over to you?" ”

Wu Xiaomei said: "We can pay more taxes to the government, brother, you name the number, we will add fifty percent." ”

Without waiting for Wu Zheng to speak, Qian Jinxuan said leisurely: "No." No matter how much, we double. ”

Wu Zheng was a little stunned, contracting? In this day and age? Is it feasible?

But Wu Zheng admired the courage of the three daughters and asked, "Is this a joint decision of the three of you?" ”

The three girls replied in unison: "Yes." ”

Wu Zheng said leisurely: "But the question is, how do you win my trust, you know, this is a tax of more than one million taels a year, if you mess it up, it will inevitably affect the operation of the entire Great General's Mansion, and it will have a serious impact on the great cause of the Northern Expedition...... This is no small matter. ”

Qian Jinxuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, husband, the three of us have estimated that although the production of this robe is slower now, the speed can still be improved, as long as there are enough people, it should not be difficult to produce thousands of pieces a month." ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Jinxuan, it's not me who strikes you. The output of less than 300 pieces in a month ensures that the clothes are in short supply, and if the output of thousands of pieces in a month is very likely to not be sold at this price. No matter how good a piece of clothing is, I'm afraid it will be popular for a year and a half, and then it needs to be constantly updated, do you have these two considerations? ”

Zhou Simin said with a smile: "Husband, I don't know, for these three styles, we have already received more than 10,000 reservations, and we have collected 300,000 taels of deposit alone, that is to say, if you produce 1,000 pieces per month, you need to do it for a whole year." Husband, in a year's time, there should be the renewal mentioned by the husband, right? ”

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded, he knew that this matter could make money, and he also thought that with the celebrity effect of these three women, he could save an unparalleled fortune, but he couldn't imagine that in just over a month, this transaction would expand to the point of letting the three women "embezzle" the weaving mansion under his command.

This made Wu Zheng sigh, the people of Jiangnan are really rich, no wonder the Donglin Party colluded with Jiangnan businessmen to reduce the annual income of the commercial tax collected by the imperial court to more than 10,000 taels a year.

It's terrible to listen to, more than 10,000 pieces, more than 1 million taels, and only paid a deposit, this is the military salary of 60,000 or 70,000 troops under Wu Zheng's command for a year.

Wu Xiaomei said: "The more than ten patterns drawn by my brother before, no matter how much support is enough for one or two years, the three of us should be able to learn to draw some patterns in the past two years...... If you can't do it, you can still rely on my brother. ”

Wu Zheng smiled bitterly: "How can I still have a pattern?" ”

Wu Xiaomei stepped forward and took Wu Zheng's hand and shook it up, swinging the "swing", "Brother——。 ”

Wu Zheng immediately surrendered, "Yes, I'll ask Mo Lao and make a decision." ”
