Gan Qi wanted to build the first production line factory in the true sense of the Song Dynasty, and it was also a factory beyond the scope of manpower, and the location was a very important thing.

So Gan Qi personally drove down the Bianhe River, and he had to choose a place with a high drop, because the high drop could fully borrow water power and make the factory large enough.

It is necessary to open a canal for the water of the Bianhe River and guide it to a low-lying place, and then dig the canal into a zigzag shape, which can facilitate the placement of more spinning machines, and a small reservoir embankment must be built above, first, to store water, and secondly, to consider flood control, so that a big flood can wash away the factory.

Gan Qi selected the site, Shen Kuo scientific research, and both sides were carried out simultaneously.

In fact, Ganqi also has a factory, that is, the iron production factory in Quanzhou, but that factory can only be regarded as a huge production workshop, there is no detailed division of labor, and there is no planning and implementation of the production line, the efficiency is not high, only relying on a large number of people. It was also because Gan Qi didn't have much time and thought to spend there at that time, and he didn't start to think about the so-called social issues, so Quanzhou was still a big workshop.

The so-called large workshop means that each craftsman is responsible for the production of the entire product, such as a set of iron armor, which is made by a craftsman from beginning to end, which is naturally efficient.

After the site selection is completed, the preliminary works will begin, such as the construction of small reservoir dams and the construction of drainage ditches, which require a lot of manpower. After that, the factory workers also need a lot of manpower.

For Ganqi, the solution to this problem is also simple, that is, to spend money, the autumn grain has been harvested, it is the agricultural leisure, and it is not difficult to spend money to hire people.

The difficulty is that Ganqi seems to have a gap in funds, the cost of civil construction in the early stage is not small, and Ganqi is not willing to treat the people who work hard, and in the later stage, he will make spinning machines on a large scale, recruit workers on a large scale and place workers, and train workers, and invest heavily in the acquisition of means of production.

So this factory, for Gan Qi, the investment is not small, the lack of money is true, and the solution is not difficult, because he has a rich bank.

Borrowing money is not difficult for Ganch.

That's what finance is all about. There is no doubt that even in the future, the main big customer of this money bank will be the factory owner.

Managing a factory is not a simple matter, this person must have management experience, but also have a certain level of knowledge, but also to be literate and calculated, but also to be able to hold the scene. The ability to understand and comprehend cannot be too low, and whatever Gan Qi explains, he must be able to understand, comprehend, and strictly implement.

With such a talent, Gan Qi really couldn't find a candidate for a while.

In fact, it is not impossible to find candidates, because there is one place where there is no shortage of such candidates, and that is officialdom.

For example, Wang Anshi will definitely be qualified for this position, and Shen Kuo, it should not be a big problem, Di Yong, that is also proper, and even Li Ding Cai is indeed a suitable candidate.

But how can a person who is an official do private things for Gan Qi? It is not in line with reason and reason, and it is also inconsistent with the personal pursuit of literati in this era, and it is always impossible to force people to make it difficult.

It's a bit of a sad thing.

Gan Qi returned home with a sad thought, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Qiao'er coming out.

"Sister Qiao'er, where are you going? You're leaving, I've just come back? "Ganch, that's a greeting.

Wu Qiao'er was a little hurried, and said: "Official, the slave family has to go to the garment store, and I just came to report that I have caught the imitation merchant, and the slave family has to go and see, if it doesn't work, then I will go to the court to sue." ”

Gan Qi nodded and said, "Then you go quickly, if it is a general imitation style, scare it, change it, you don't have to dig deeper." If even the logo of Qiao'er's ready-to-wear is imitated, then he will have to pay money, and if he does not pay, he will sue him. ”

"That's how the slave family is handled, and the officials can rest assured." Wu Qiao'er replied, and people were also walking out.

Gan Qi looked back at Wu Qiao'er's back, and now she had already gathered her hair in a bun, and there were a few jewels and jade on the bun, no more, no less, but it was also luxurious. The clothes on his body became more and more atmospheric, with a lot of grace, and he went out, accompanied by maids on the left and right, and a few small servants behind him.

There is a car at the door, Wu Qiaoer just arrived in front of the car, there is a small servant to move the wooden steps, bowed to the side and does not look up, Wu Qiaoer slightly raised the group, the maid on the side came to help, Wu Qiaoer got in the car and left. The little guy collected the wooden steps, and those who drove the car followed......

Ten years ago, the small jasper is now everyone's ...... This word is wrong, it should be said that he has become the appearance of a big owner, and he still has majesty.

Speaking of which, there are some strong women who mean.

At home, there is a prime minister's mansion in Nuoda, there are countless people who rely on the prime minister's mansion to eat, and there are countless people who come and go to the prime minister's mansion. Princess Zhao Zonglan, a serious housewife, usually only sits in the inner mansion, and does not worry about the affairs of the outer courtyard.

Zhao Zonglan also did not doubt anything about Wu Qiaoer, and also trusted Wu Qiaoer.

Outside, the ready-to-wear store run by Wu Qiaoer has long been a big industry, not to mention the noble women of Bianliang City, even the noble women of Hangzhou and Chengdu are proud to get a piece of Qiao'er ready-to-wear clothes, and I don't know how many of them are counterfeits.

Such a big industry, Wu Qiaoer is also thriving, and even recently began to develop the men's clothing market, which is not arranged by Gan Qi, but Wu Qiaoer himself pondered and did it, and men's clothing has also been done well.

Wu Qiao'er is actually a rich woman, there is no doubt about it. Because Gan Qi has rarely asked Wu Qiaoer for money in recent years, Wu Qiaoer only thinks that he has saved his family money for Gan Qi, Gan Qi opened a money bank, and Wu Qiaoer was also the first to send his family money to Qian Zhuang Village to support Gan Qi's career.

Gan Qi didn't have time to care about it before, and he was too used to seeing too much, but between the doors and doors, Gan Qi suddenly found that Wu Qiao'er was different, very different, giving people a feeling of shrewdness and ability inside and out, and the outward was mature and decent.

Speaking of which, even Wu Qiaoer more than ten years ago actually gave people a pungent feeling, and he could beat a guy like Ganba with a broom.

Gan Qi stood at the door and sighed for a while, until Wu Qiao'er's frame was far away, and he thought about it and went inside.

A thought suddenly germinated in my mind, or ...... Do you want Wu Qiaoer to manage the factory?

Get your feet wet?

Get your feet wet! Gan Qi made up his mind, and just waited for Wu Qiao'er to come back and talk to her. Wu Qiaoer is full of experience in management, knowledge, literacy accounts, and the most important thing is that ready-to-wear and textiles have something in common, and Wu Qiaoer should get started very quickly with textiles.

Rare today, before it got dark, Gan Qi sat in the main hall of his home.

Zhao Zonglan naturally sat aside, Pu Xier was waiting, and a few maids were busy.

Although there are many women in Ganqi's family, most of them have their own affairs, such as Zhang Shuyuan has to take Chunxi to run a hot spring hotel outside the city, such as Li Yisleeve and Xiao Jiunu have to manage the opera troupe in Liyuan Chunli, although the two are now less and less on stage, but Liyuan Chun has to manage such a big mess of things.

Speaking of which, the ones who are really often at home are Zhao Zonglan and Pu Xier, Wu Qiaoer belongs to the gate people, who are busy going in and out, and they can only really be at home at night.

A pair of children are already naughty, Zhao Zonglan is the kind of strict discipline type, Gan Qi belongs to the abandonment type, and he has no time to take care of it.

Zhao Zonglan was also happy today, because Gan Qi had not sat at home in the daytime for a long time, she was smiling with happiness on her face: "Husband is very early today. ”

"I didn't go to the city, I went out of town in the morning." Gan Qi replied, and said, "Lady, I will discuss something with you today. ”

"Husband, please speak." Zhao Zonglan's status is too noble now, she is not only a princess, but also the emperor's aunt, and the prime minister's wife, and her status is really incomparable. To say a word of disrespect, even the queen may not be as good as today's Zhao Zonglan.

Zhao Zonglan herself has a lot of reputation, because she has written a lot of books, starting from the plum blossom brand, out of control, even if there is no Gan Qi to give the story, Zhao Zonglan also opened the second line of Ren Du in the plum blossom brand, the grievances and hatreds of large families, and the love stories of death and life, which are all hand-to-hand.

Mr. Qiulan is her pen name, Mr. Qiulan's current script, up to ninety-nine, down to just go, as long as it is a woman, there is nothing that she doesn't love.

Mr. Qiulan also formed a society, and sat down with those ladies and ladies in the capital when he had nothing to do, and the name of the society was "Qiulan Society", which talked about the bad things in the houses of each family, and these bad things would become the stories written by Mr. Qiulan. Of course, I also talked about things like poetry and articles, after all, there were many women in the Great Song Dynasty who read books.

It's also strange to Ganqi, he fought outside when he had nothing to do, and he went away for several months, leaving Mr. Qiulan with only a few words, and Ganqi only had a pair of children until now.

Even if I came back for a longer time this time, it was a busy business, and today is an exception.

Gan Qi really had something to say, he spoke: "Now in the mansion, there are many people inside and outside, and there are countless guests who come every day, and the lady doesn't want to take care of those trivial matters, so it is better to find a person who specializes in housekeeping, so that the lady can be less tired, I don't know what the lady wants?" ”

Zhao Zonglan replied: "Husband, the affairs in the house have always been in the care of Sister Qiao'er, and the concubine doesn't know what her husband is thinking, but she just thinks that if Sister Qiao'er is suddenly not in charge, is it ......?"

"I want Sister Qiao'er to take care of other things, and that matter is more important, so I thought about finding someone to take care of the family's affairs." Gan Qi probably knew that Zhao Zonglan, a young woman in literature and art, could not take care of the tedious things in the house, so she had to find someone to replace Wu Qiaoer.

"Oh...... That's the case, but what about the ready-to-wear store? If Sister Qiao'er has other important things, won't the ready-to-wear store be taken care of? Zhao Zonglan said so, and he also knew that since Gan Qi began to be promoted to the knighthood, Gan Qi has never taken money from outside to the family, and he has also taken the family's money out, even if it is the imperial court, he has never taken it from the family, and all the expenses of the family are taken back by Wu Qiaoer from the ready-to-wear store.

Fortunately, Zhao Zonglan can also make money herself, firstly, she has a lot of money from the imperial court, secondly, she can't earn a lot of money for polishing her pen, and thirdly, she also has her own private house when she marries. Otherwise, Zhao Zonglan would be embarrassed, and the housewife would have to reach out to others to ask for money to live.

Gan Qi is a scumbag, a big scumbag who doesn't have a family, this is a real hammer.

"Ready-to-wear stores?" Gan Qi didn't think much about it, in his mind, what is a ready-to-wear store compared to a big factory? He really doesn't know how much money Wu Qiaoer can make in a year.

"Well, the ready-to-wear store also needs to be managed, if Sister Qiao'er is busy with other things, this ready-to-wear store should also be arranged." Zhao Zonglan replied.

"Ready-to-wear stores, then find a housekeeper to take care of them together." Gan Qi was in charge.

Zhao Zonglan didn't say much, only asked: "Is there a candidate in the husband's heart?" ”

Gan Qi thought in his mind and said a person: "How is Chunxi?" This little girl has the demeanor of Sister Qiao'er when she was young, and she is very spicy. ”

"Chunxi?" Zhao Zonglan thought about it and nodded slowly: "It's okay, she is also familiar with business things with Shuyuan's side, her temperament is also pungent and delicate, which is quite suitable." ”

Zhao Zonglan is a good housewife, mainly because she has her own joy and pursuit of life, so she will not worry about trivial things, or even care at all. If it is placed in someone else's house, the housekeeper's affairs, and even the family's financial affairs, how can the housewife be so easy to speak?

"Then I'll teach people to go out of the city and call Chunxi back, and I'll settle this matter tonight." Gan Qi is resolute and resolute.

"Well, when the time comes, I have to give a good explanation, and I want Sister Qiao'er to take Chunxi to explain it back and forth, the things at home are okay, and the affairs of the ready-to-wear store really have to take over, I'm afraid it won't be a moment, and Sister Qiao'er will have to take her to learn more inside and out." Zhao Zonglan knows more about these things at home than Gan Qi, and he also knows better than Gan Qi that the ready-to-wear store is not a small business now.

Gan Qi got up, and had already gone out to give orders to the little servant.

In the evening, Chunxi also returned, and Wu Qiaoer also returned.

Gan Qi didn't say anything directly, but the family finished eating and entered Wu Qiaoer's room alone.

Gan Qi explained the matter in detail to Wu Qiao'er.

Wu Qiao'er did not refuse, but asked: "How big is the factory that the official said, and how many people have to take care of it?" But are they all women? ”

Gan Qi replied, "Workers, both men and women, and men are preferred, according to my assumption, there should be about a few thousand." ”

"How can a man do textile things?" Wu Qiaoer was a little puzzled.

"Factory production, are assembly lines, the general worker does not need to know all the processes, only need to know one of them, back and forth is, men are physically strong, but more suitable for manual labor, as a worker is extremely suitable." Ganchi said.

"Oh, that's ......" Wu Qiao'er seemed to be worried.

"What's wrong?"

"There are women in the slave family, and there were mostly women in the ready-to-wear stores in the past, if you really manage thousands of men, I am afraid that there will be less majesty......"

"What's the matter? When the time comes, let the dumb bashi match you with dozens of strong men, and then find seven or eight old women and a dozen maids. In and out, in and out, how can there be less majesty? Gan Qi really thought about this problem, he was also afraid that Wu Qiaoer would not be able to control the scene, after all, she was a woman, so she had to hold up the scene, plus Wu Qiaoer's own growth for so many years, it was not a big problem.

Wu Qiao'er was still a little worried, but she didn't say much, only said: "Since the official needs the slave family to do this, the slave family must handle this matter." ”

Gan Qi nodded and smiled, "That...... It's not too early, so let's take a break, shall we? ”

Wu Qiao'er's face turned red and her head lowered, leaving Gan Qi with a shyness......
