Enterprises are R&D, production and sales, and as soon as the name of Qiaoer Textile comes out, the sales channels already exist, which is the benefit of taking this name.

In Bianliang City, for some reason, a large number of cheap fabrics suddenly appeared, which were as cheap as seventy percent of the market price, and the quantity was still preferential, and it could continue to be cheap, and the quality was particularly good.

Needless to say, the people who flocked to the cloth were not all the same, some people came to buy cheap cloth, and some people did not come to buy cloth.

Qiao'er ready-to-wear stores are getting bigger and bigger, there are production workshops behind, the area of production workshops is larger, several large mansions are connected together, even Ganqi used to be in the house opposite the ready-to-wear store and now it has become a production workshop, in addition to the street façade, there are production workshops behind, women's and men's clothing, as well as children's clothing, from headdress to waist ornaments, to shoes and boots, everything, as if it is already a group company.

Even Wu Qiao'er relied on Gan Qi's relationship to do errands for the imperial court to customize official uniforms, and even many clothes in the palace would be made in Qiao'er ready-to-wear. These errands may not necessarily make much money, because the materials are too particular, and they can't really ask for a price, and even in the pricing, they have to make the court and the palace have a sense of saving, to put it bluntly, it is to give the court and the palace a discount, so the profit is not high. It is also beneficial to do this, not to tarnish Ganqi's reputation, and not to make people think that Ganqi is using power for personal gain.

However, these orders have completely established Qiao'er's unparalleled status in the industry, which belongs to the luxury goods among luxury goods, representing the highest craftsmanship in the garment industry of Da Song, and also representing the most luxurious enjoyment of Da Song. Nowadays, Qiao'er ready-to-wear is no longer only sold in Bianliang, but also in all larger cities across the country.

Gan Qi has not been to Qiao'er Ready-to-Wear in the outer city for a long time, just because now Gan Qi has moved to the inner city to live, and even his work is in the inner city.

The new cloth has been on the market for several days, and Gan Qi finally took the time to take a look at Qiao'er Ready-to-Wear, which also shocked him a little, he really didn't know that the ready-to-wear store now has such a scale, and there are two or three thousand women working in it.

Gan Qi looked at it again, everything was in order, which inevitably made Gan Qi more and more confident in Wu Qiaoer, it is not a simple thing to manage such a large enterprise in an orderly manner, which is enough to show Wu Qiaoer's ability level.

Now that Changchun Xilai manages the ready-to-wear store, it really only needs to operate according to the model stipulated by Wu Qiaoer, but Wu Qiaoer has not completely delegated power, and from time to time he has to go back to the store to preside over the development and design of new products and other things. For example, recently, because of the promotion of cotton cloth, Qiaoer Ready-to-wear has to make a new design of cotton clothing.

Qiaoer Textile also began to order silk in Jiangnan, once the spinning machine is mature, there is no problem with weaving cotton yarn and silk, and high-end products will naturally be produced.

Gan Qi inspected the finished clothing store accompanied by Chunxi, and returned to the side hall of the front store to sit down and eat tea, listening to the noisy crowds, and was in a good mood.

But I also heard a lot of angry voices in the crowd.

"Shopkeeper Wei, you Qiao'er ready-to-wear was originally in the garment business, why are you starting a cloth shop now?"

"Yes, it's not impossible to do cloth, why sell at such a low price? Are you trying to shut down our peers? ”

"That's right, shopkeeper Wei, you Qiao'er ready-to-wear is a big business, and you can afford to lose money, but we also want to make a living, we can't really force us to die!"

"You invite Wu Dongjia here, let's discuss and discuss, you can't really force people to death, Gan Xianggong has always been very benevolent and virtuous, and loves the people like a son, you can't rely on his banner to do business......"

……

These people are obviously the proprietors of the cloth business in the city, and Qiao'er Ready-to-Wear suddenly dumps such cheap fabrics in the city, which naturally makes others have no way out. These people are the shopkeeper of Wei, it is Chunxi, her surname is Wei, she has no big name, only a small name Chunxi.

Shopkeeper Wei also replied at this time: "Everyone, it is not a matter of a day or two for Qiao'er Textile to build a big workshop outside the city, it started several months ago, and you all know it, and now that it is built, the cloth produced will naturally be sold, and it must not be sold, right?" ”

Gan Qi in the side hall shook his head slightly when he heard this, feeling that Chunxi was still a little younger and not mature in dealing with problems.

Sure enough, someone immediately said: "But you can't sell it so cheaply, I haven't accumulated a lot of goods in my hands, and they are all worth and lives, if you sell them like this, won't we all have to drink the northwest wind." ”

Chunxi said again: "Then we can't blame Qiao'er for ready-to-wear, our cloth, sold at this price is not to suppress you, but our cloth is produced at this price, and it has been sold at a higher price, so we can't have to sell it with you at a price, right?" If we still have to produce silk in the future, can't we sell it? ”

"Huh? Do you still want to produce silk? This ......"

Everyone was shocked, if silk was so cheap, then these people really had no way to live.

The customers who bought cloth on the side were overjoyed, and some people applauded: "Okay, fast production of silk, it is also cheaper by four or fifty percent, I will definitely come to buy it then, buy more, and the whole family will have a new set of clothes for the New Year." ”

"Shopkeeper Wei, don't you really want the cloth shops in Bianliang City to close? How about you guys doing a one-man business? ”

"Don't you really have that in mind?"

Chunxi waved his hand: "Don't say that, we haven't thought about it that way......"

"That's what you do, you have a lot of money, you sell at a loss, just to shut us all down, we all close our doors, and you have a monopoly on business......"

Gan Qi in the side hall shook his head and walked out, it was time to relieve Chunxi, otherwise I don't know what this matter will be like tomorrow.

Everyone suddenly saw Gan Qi coming out of the side hall, and hurriedly gathered around to salute, and then quarreled.

"Gan Xianggong, you have to be the master for us!"

"Gan Xianggong wants to come to be unparalleled in benevolence and virtue, but he is a great Confucian in the world, and he will definitely make decisions for us."

"Please, Gan Xianggong's kindness!"

Gan Qi waved his hand: "Be quiet, listen to me." ”

The crowd slowly stopped the noise.

Gan Qi spoke again: "Do you all produce your own cloth?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, most of the cloth shops in Bianliang City did not produce their own cloth, but bought goods to sell.

Gan Qi nodded and said: "Then it's easy to say, about twenty miles east of the south of the city, Qiao'er Textile Factory is there, you can find it by asking, go there to order and sell it back, the price is not high." I also guarantee that the purchase price of the cloth sold by Qiao'er Garment is the same as yours. In this way, everyone can still do business as before. ”

It's as simple as that, a factory, naturally the more sales channels, the better, Gan Qi can let Qiaoer Garment agent textile factory sales channels, but Gan Qi still wants to separate the factory and the garment store, but also to leave a way for other cloth merchants in Bianliang City, can not really kill everyone else, the market must be dynamic.

In the future, the sales channels of the factory will have to rely on these merchants to open up and sell to all parts of the country, and even to foreign countries.

"Is what Gan Xianggong said true?"

Gan Qi nodded: "I have what I said, how can it be false." ”

"Yes, how can Gan Xianggong have nothing to do to coax us? Qiaoer Textile will definitely sell goods to us. ”

"Since Gan Xianggong guarantees that the purchase price of Qiao'er's ready-to-wear is the same as ours, it must be true."

This is the benefit of fame, Gan Qi waved his hand: "You just go, the inventory in your hand will not lose anything, as long as you hurry up the silk and satin, when the time comes, Qiao'er Textile produces silk, you will buy again, and you will not lose money." ”

At the beginning of industrial and commercial development, it was actually for the benefit of the people, so that the people could live at a lower cost. A water-powered spinning factory can directly and greatly reduce the cost of dressing in the entire Bianliang City.

"Greetings to Gan Xianggong!"

"Gan Xianggong is really benevolent!"

Many merchants are also thanking Ganqi.

Gan Qi finally said: "You go to buy goods, it is best to visit the textile factory, take a look, the water-powered spinning machine can also be taken out, if you are interested, it is not necessary to open your own factory." If you don't have enough money, you can borrow money from the Four Seas Bank, which has recently been happy to lend money to people who are willing to open factories. ”

This is what Gan Qi really wants to do, selling cloth is not the goal, the real purpose is to promote the factory model, promote the model of mass production, and let the factories spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

Textile is just the beginning, with this start, all walks of life will follow suit, coupled with financial support, the level of production will be greatly improved.

Once the factory model is promoted, the factory will have more demand for machines, the demand for machine capabilities will be higher and higher, and the investment in machine research will be more and more willing, which will promote the study of craftsmen.

Even a hydraulic power actually plays a particularly large role, from textile to forging, and even to stamping production, it can actually be driven by water power.

When the development of machines is demanded, people will have a new pursuit of power, which is the cornerstone of the industrial revolution, once someone really begins to study power, many things will be logical, even if not so logical, isn't there Ganqi? Pushing one or two more from it, the steam engine is not something unthinkable.

The steam engine is a high-tech thing for this era, but it can't be too high-tech, and in itself, it doesn't really have high requirements for science and technology, but it has no low requirements for technology, but it was originally made by hand.

However, if the steam engine is really useful, there are still some prerequisites, such as sealing and other needs, which require some special materials, such as rubber, and rubber trees are still in the jungles of South America.

Therefore, there is a certain close relationship between navigation and industry. Ganchi's strategy also revolves around these things, while letting the charity fund fund the private adventure voyage, while the government also began to send fleets to the sea, and at the same time promoting industrial development. In fact, these are all the same thing.

Gan Qi obviously has a grand strategy in this regard, and this grand strategy is not for Gan Qi to invent anything himself, but to promote the power of the whole society and promote hundreds of millions of people to exert their wisdom and talents, so that the real industrial revolution can be carried out.

The textile mill was the source of this motivation, and it was the beginning of Ganch's drive for social change.

In the midst of the thousands of thanks, Gan Qi returned to the side hall again, Gan Qi planted a seed in the hearts of these people, just waiting for it to take root and sprout, even if only one of those people tried to open a factory just now, Gan Qi also succeeded, and it was a complete success.

It's just that Chunxi was a little unhappy, followed Gan Qi back to the side hall, and complained: "Official, how can you take the spinning machine to the takeaway?" This is a magic weapon that Mr. Shen has studied with many people countless days and nights, but if you want to make a lot of money, if this thing is sold out, isn't it the same as throwing money out? ”

Chunxi understands the rules of business and puts technology first.

Gan Qi just smiled and shook his head: "You just be an official, I am doing good deeds, the money in this world is inexhaustible, it makes little difference if you earn a little more or less." ”

"Official, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are ......"

"You little girl, I'm still counting up......" Gan Qi got up with a smile, and couldn't say more, the strategic plan in his heart was really not understandable to others.

After getting up, Gan Qi also went out, and the ready-to-wear store was inspected, and he got in the car and left, and he was about to enter the palace.

Entering the palace is to promote the eunuch Li Xian to go to sea on behalf of the official, once the official goes to sea to obtain benefits, bring back the chart, bring back valuable things, and it will inevitably promote the upsurge of the people going to sea.

Even if you go to sea to rob, it is a push. This is a necessary process, and sea raiding is an unavoidable link. Even if the Han Chinese went to sea on a large scale to become pirates, Gan Qi would not stop his strategy.

There is also a premise for these things, that is, the real official lifting of the sea ban, the sea ban in the Song Dynasty was actually not strict, and even after Taizong Taizu, the sea ban almost stopped for a period of time, and the Southern Song Dynasty directly did not talk about the sea ban. But Gan Qi still had to turn the lifting of the ban on the sea into a serious court document and completely untie the ban on the sea.

Lifting the sea ban has advantages and disadvantages, but for the previous Central Plains Dynasty, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, because the previous Central Plains Dynasty was the era of small peasant economy, once the sea was opened, anyone was allowed to go to sea, which would inevitably bring about the consequences of population loss, which was a great disadvantage for the previous Central Plains Dynasty, because it would reduce the working population in the land.

It will also bring a drawback, that is, there are many pirates, you can refer to the Ming Dynasty border war, open the sea, will definitely let those who are traitors go to sea to avoid legal punishment, but these traitors must also survive, once they gather, they will become vicious pirates, and the things of going ashore to loot will definitely happen.

But no matter how many drawbacks, Gan Qi has to carry out this matter, the Great Song Dynasty has entered the time when the population is too much, so that more people can produce outside of farming, it is necessary to let more people produce outside of farming, and going to sea can also relieve the pressure on the population, and grain can also be produced overseas, and even large farms can be produced in overseas enclosures, and the required manpower can be used by means of violent slavery.

In itself, this is also one of the means to solve the overpopulation in the country, so it is necessary to encourage going to sea.

As for the matter of piracy and plunder, it will have to be solved by the continuous expansion of the navy by the imperial court, as long as the imperial court has a strong naval division and controls all the islands in the coastal area, the problem of coastal piracy will be solved, and as for the problem of pirates in the far sea, then let's talk about it.

Gan Qi thought very deeply, and went to the palace, these questions should also be well said to Emperor Zhao Ji, and it will inevitably be discussed in the court at that time.

The development of maritime strength is also of great help in controlling the interior, for example, attacking the Liao State and even attacking the Jurchens, and having a truly usable maritime transportation capacity can allow the army to directly land in the rear of the enemy in the northern part of the Bohai Sea and even in the Sea of Japan, which is a very effective means.

In Ganch's mind, everything has already begun, and it will only roll forward, and there can be no retreat. Gan Qi also knew that this would be a big collision of ideas, a big collision between the old-school conservative mainland small-scale peasant economic thinking and Gan Qi's new global pattern thinking.

A war of words is probably inevitable.
