Jia Song heard it in his heart: he is going to be finished! Still not saving yourself? Wouldn't that be damned?

There are more and more merchants, and Jia Song's table is slowly full. Everyone drank tea and chatted together, from the imperial court, to miki, from overseas......

There are a few small guys, and they have been counting the number of people. Seeing that the audience was almost there, the little guy entered the next room.

After a while, when one person walked out first, it was a middle-aged eunuch with a white beard, and a few tables of merchants nearby hurriedly stood up and greeted one after another: "Gong Wang's public security is good." ”

At the beginning, there was still a lot of noise, and everyone was chatting and chatting. But as soon as the father-in-law appeared, the scene immediately fell silent.

Wang Hai, Wang Gonggong, Nanchang Town Eunuch. Directly lead Nanchang thousand households Jinyi Guard, under the jurisdiction of ten hundred households.

In this position, he is responsible for collecting non-agricultural taxes from industry, commerce, mining, etc.

At the same time, it assists the local government and the military in patrolling and arresting and spying on military intelligence.

From the governor downwards, the power of supervision shall be exercised. The eunuchs of the town guard can play directly, impeach, and listen to the heavens. To put it bluntly, they are the eyes and ears of the emperor's cronies.

This is definitely a powerful person in Nanchang, a figure who can walk side by side with Governor Shu.

Father-in-law Wang had a smile on his face, nodded frequently, and his eyes kept scanning everywhere, and he didn't stop at anyone. Walk straight to the center and front of the table.

There were three people behind Gonggong Wang, the head of the cloth guild, Wu Jin. The two deputy heads of the cloth line, Zhao Xicai and Ye Hong.

Wu Jin has been in business for generations, and the land and other industries he buys are all income from business, so his main business is business.

Zhao Xicai was born in a family in Nanchang and has countless lands, because his own land produces cotton. So one of those industries is textiles. The Zhao family's textile industry is slightly inferior to the Wu family, but compared with the entire Zhao family and the Wu family, the Wu family is not enough.

Ye Hong, in the early years, sold smuggled salt, and later the imperial court implemented a new policy and switched to salt. Some large government and business groups are almost half public and half private, driving 1,000 catties of salt and transporting 10,000 catties of private salt. Then use the official, military forces to sell salt. This monopoly is very powerful and efficient. As a direct result, there is no room for smugglers to survive.

Some smuggler salt dealers went to the sea to become maritime merchants, and some washed their hands in gold basins, and collected mountains to change careers for retirement.

Ye Hong, changed his career to the textile industry.

The textile industry is roughly divided into several steps,

The first step is to plant cotton. For example, the Zhao family has a lot of land and a large cotton output. So they naturally entered the textile industry, sold their cotton to textile households, and waited for the textile into cloth, and then recycled and repurchased.

The second step is weaving. Weavers buy cotton from farmers, weave it at home, and sell the cloth to buyers.

Wu Jin's Wu family is the buyer, and has been engaged in acquisition for many years, so he is good at transportation, storage, and also provides some technical and information support to textile households.

The third step is to wholesale to distributors.

Ye Hong, who is involved in insertion, is the second step. Textile, this is intensive labor, a family, buy a textile machine, and weave at home. Taking Nanchang Mansion as an example, there are at least tens of thousands of people engaged in this textile. This is still full-time, counting the occasional spinning and making a little money, then there are countless of them. In this industry, how much silver you get for weaving a piece of cloth is a fixed number. As long as you are diligent, you will have money. Moreover, because of the large market, the textile industry has been in a state of labor shortage. Therefore, once Mrs. Jia felt that life was difficult, her first reaction was to buy a textile machine and weave cloth to support her family.

Many people are so poor that they can't even afford a textile machine. There are also many who are unwilling to spin for a long time, and feel that it is not cost-effective to buy a textile machine and be idle.

Ye Hong took a group of brothers and used the silver accumulated from selling illicit salt to buy a large number of textile machines. Then it is lent to the poor to weave, and also to people who want to make some money temporarily, but are not willing to invest in buying textile machinery. Ye Hong also concentrated the remaining textile machines in one place, and whoever was short of money would come to him to weave, do a day's work, and give him a day's wages. Ye Hong bought it from these people. It turns out to be a really big market.

Many ordinary families borrowed a textile machine from Ye Hong to come back, working during the day and weaving at night. The textile machine was broken, and Ye Hong's people immediately came to the door to replace it. I'm afraid that you will be uncomfortable with it, so I will change my tricks to serve you well.

The textile households of the Zhao family are all textile Zhao family's cotton, and others can't take it away. The Zhao family didn't plan to rob others. Grabbing land, the Zhao family is interested. Robbing textile households, the Zhao family is not available. Therefore, the Zhao family didn't care about Ye Hong's participation.

At first, the Wu family thought that Ye Hong was making a small fuss like this. It can't be the climate. Didn't care. There are many such sporadic businesses, and the Wu family disdains and can't manage them. Only Wu Jin saw the power of it, and vigorously lobbied the old man of the Wu family, either to stop Ye Hong, or to learn from Ye Hong!

Wu's suggestion was not heeded at first. Until Ye Hong's textile households, blooming everywhere, the purchase of cloth has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain! Seeing that it was about to be on par with the Wu family, the Wu family was shocked to realize that this was a tiger! If you don't do it, you will eat your own textile households! Yes, your own textile household, sell the textile machine, borrow a new one from Ye Hong and come back, and someone will help you repair it! Isn't it good? This account is calculated by everyone!

At that time, the head of the Wu family was also in a hurry and chose to have a head-on conflict with Ye Hong! Find some official reasons, find the yamen to come forward to embarrass Ye Hong and others, and try to drive Ye Hong out of Nanchang.

Who knows, Ye Hong, a smuggler of salt, is full of outlaws. I don't have to do it. Work? It's impossible in this life! It's hard to find a bowl of rice to eat on your own, and you're a cloth seller who still comes to cause trouble?

The smuggler didn't say much, and one night, a large group of black-clothed people entered the Wu family and slashed them directly! Wujiazhuang Ding was caught off guard and was killed so that people turned on their backs. There are seven or eight half-year-old boys in the Wu family, who were kidnapped by the men in black! There are two talents in it, this is the seedling of lifting people!

The Wu family was dumbfounded at that time, and then they realized that they were smuggler salt dealers, killing people and setting fire to the end of the world, which was the norm. Are you willing to do this? Moreover, people do not touch your profits, and the cloth they collect is a textile household developed by themselves.

The Wu family has been in business all year round, and has been in contact with mountain bandits and robbers, so they made a decision and sent people to negotiate.

Wu Jin took the initiative to ask for help, and Wu Jin's negotiations were very successful.

First, the original textile households of the Wu family are still the Wu family, and the textile households newly developed by Ye Hong are counted as the Ye family. Then, there are some empty areas that are not covered by either side, which is divided equally between the two sides. Textile machinery resources, both sides can also share each other.

In this regard, the Wu family took advantage! Originally, they may not be able to hold on to their own, but now they suddenly have some more.

Second, Wu Jin also pulled the Zhao family, and the three reached an agreement to keep the price stable. Each other does not accept each other's textile households, distributors. Every dealer must have a separation distance. The three dealers are fairly divided according to the region. If a company is in short supply or has a backlog, it can coordinate sales. At the same time, the three could not receive foreign merchants, and the goods of the three could only be wholesaled to local dealers, and foreign merchants could only get the goods from local dealers.

Objectively speaking, this one is good for everyone and the entire industry! It avoids price bargaining, ensures the operating profit margin of the dealer, and also ensures the profit of the three wholesalers.

Therefore, Hu Shang could not come directly to Wu's house to buy goods. You can only go through merchants like Jiajia and give a service fee.

Three, the three companies jointly go to business once a month, and the three companies contribute together, and they work together to protect and share the profits equally.

Look at this, the Zhao family is deep-rooted, there are many Zhuang Ding, tenants, slaves, and many dead soldiers. Force.

Needless to say, the Ye family is all outlaws.

Only the Wu family, the force value, is a little worse, so it can be regarded as a bit cheaper. The three companies have joined forces, and the force value has been increased by more than one grade, and the safety of business is higher.

Wu Jin also pointed out that when doing business, unified command, unified accounting, and unified distribution.

Generally, joint caravans, each of which is responsible for its own profits and losses, is the most unreliable! One merchant has 50 guards, and ten merchants look like 500 guards, which is amazing! When you encounter a bandit, as long as the bandit says: "Leave in the singular, I won't rob!" Even the number left half of the goods, I let it go! Who dares to resist! Then, there is no mercy! ”

This united caravan immediately fell apart. At least a singular number of merchants, they will leave immediately.

Therefore, Wu Jin's joint three unifications are beneficial to the three businesses.

The Zhao family was very satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations. In line with your expectations, it has become safer to do business.

Ye Hong is also satisfied, after all, he has just washed his hands and changed careers, trying to be stable, this time, even if he has established his status!

The Wu family was also satisfied, not only did the business not suffer, but also took a lot of advantage.

As far as this agreement is concerned, it not only guarantees the interests of the three families, but also benefits all dealers. Wu Jin has made contributions to the industry.

The half-grown children, that night, all returned to the Wu family safely.

Wu Jin, because of this, sat in the position of the head of the Wu family. Zhao Xicai, who participated in the negotiation of the Zhao family, also took charge of the Zhao family's textile business.

The three giants of Nanchang textile were established, Wu Jin will be the head, Zhao Xicai, Ye Hong, and the deputy council leader.

In this kind of guild meeting, the heads of the three guilds must come forward together.

The three of them sat down with Wang's father-in-law in their arms. Zhao Xicai and Ye Hong also sat beside them, and there were only four chairs at this table. There is still an empty chair on the left hand side of Father-in-law Wang, which is reserved for Wu Jin.

Wu Jinshan said that he was the leader in speaking on the occasion of the meeting.

Wu Jin nodded slightly to Gonggong Wang, and then turned to face everyone. He arched his hands and said, "Everyone! Today, I invite you to hold a meeting, which is to discuss the construction of a family ancestral hall for Li Ying and Li Gonggong. Everyone knows that Gonggong Li walked out from our Nanchang! Father-in-law Li has done his best for the country and the people, and for so many years, he has not had time to come back to repair his family ancestral hall. Although Gonggong Li can't take care of himself, he has never forgotten our Jiangxi people! He recommended to the emperor that Lord Shu was in charge of Jiangxi affairs. Over the years, Lord Futai Shu has also tried his best to govern Jiangxi. The people were able to live and work in peace and contentment, without worrying about food and clothing. All of you are here, and it is obvious to all. Our textile industry is also flourishing under the good governance of Shu people. Also, our father-in-law Wang! It was also Gonggong Li who personally ordered to guard Jiangxi, let's talk about it, Gonggong Wang has not let everyone over the years, it's difficult to do, right?! ”

Father-in-law Wang, who was sitting in the first place, heard Wu Jin say this, and his words were full of affection. Eyes swept around the crowd again. I saw that everyone nodded frequently, and a smile couldn't help but appear on their faces.
