Zu Dashou is worried, Zhu Zhongli is also worried, Zhu's spinning mill's water-powered spinning machine, the productivity is indeed amazing.

But now there is a problem, no matter how much things are produced, it is useless if no one buys them, so they can only be piled up in the warehouse.

If the Zhu's spinning mill was not short of money, it would have piled up some goods for the time being, and now it is still anxiously waiting to pay Zhou Yuanwai cotton money, and the most important thing is that the three female workers are waiting for the money to buy rice for the pot.

The third uncle Zhu Zhongli has almost traveled to the weaving workshops near the capital in the past two days, but none of them have bought the yarn of the Zhu spinning factory, and the third uncle Zhu Zhongli has lowered the price by a penny, but there is still nothing.

Zhu Zhongli, the third uncle who was poor in donkey skills, could only go to Wang Gongchang to find Zhu Shun, hoping that the nephew who was an official could think of a good solution.

Zhu Shun took advantage of this period of leisure time to write in the public office, and when he heard that the third uncle was looking for him, he put down the rabbit brush in his hand and walked to the door of Wang Gong's factory.

Seeing that the third uncle seemed to have encountered something urgent, he kept walking around the door: "Third uncle, what happened." ”

The nephew trusted himself so much that he handed over the Zhu Spinning Factory to himself, but he couldn't solve even the simplest sales problem, which really embarrassed Zhu Zhongli a little, and said hesitantly: "Shun'er, this." ”

"This, the third uncle has run all the weaving workshops near the capital, but none of the workshops have bought our yarn, and the price has been reduced by a penny, or not."

If it is a family or two, it is better to say that all the weaving workshops near the capital do not accept it now, which means that there must be someone in the way.

When Zhu Shun came, he glanced at the Western self-striking bell brought from the old Wang Gong Factory, it was not a few minutes away from four o'clock, and he waited for a while and said, "Third uncle, you go to the spinning factory first to watch, and I'll go out." ”

To inquire about this kind of thing, the most important thing is to have connections, coincidentally, Zhu Shun not only has a relationship with Jinyiwei, but also has a friendship with Dongchang Fanzi.

Zhu Shun was worried that this matter was a ghost of the Donglin Party, so he was not ready to go to Jinyiwei, but many people in Jinyiwei at the end of the Ming Dynasty had secretly colluded with the Donglin Party.

This is also the reason why when Zhu Shun was reading novels in the past, some people often said that Chongzhen was the difficulty of hell, the Donglin Party controlled the government, Li Zicheng was sabotaging everywhere, and there were Jurchens outside who came to attack every once in a while.

The court has no money, the merchants don't have to pay taxes, the Jin merchants keep sending food and money to the Jurchens, and even the eyes and ears of the court are corrupted, and the Dongchang fans can't get out of the North Zhili and so on.

It's simply hell of hell difficulty.

Jinyiwei couldn't find it, but Zhu Shun had a good relationship with Wang Chengen, the stall head of Dongchang Fanzi, so he went to a house near Liulichang.

Wang Chengen's mansion was rewarded to him by the emperor, and it was not bad.

It's just that Wang Chengen is not corrupt, he can't support many people with that little money, and the mansion covering an extremely wide area only has a dozen servants, which is cold and deserted.

Menzi sat at the door holding a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", playing boring time, thinking that when he was rich, he must listen to the elegant Kunqu Opera, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he quickly put down the book in his hand.

Menzi saw that the person who came was an acquaintance, Zhu Shun, the head of Wang Gongchang, and hurriedly bowed his waist to greet him: "Master Zhu is here, hurry up and invite inside." ”

Zhu Shun had just received this month's salary, and he finally had some spare money in his hand, so he rewarded Menzi with a penny of silver, and he might have to trouble them in the future.

Menzi nodded and thanked him: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Walking to the main hall of the palace, the beautiful-looking vegetable farmer was placed in front of Zhu Shun with a fine monttop stone flower and a few kinds of tea.

Today, because there are some temporary things to deal with in the palace, Wang Chengen came back late, and it was already dark when he got home.

Hearing that Zhu Shun was waiting for him, he quickly changed his clothes and walked into the main hall: "Mr. Zhu can't help it, there are some things in our house temporarily, and we are late." ”

When to go home, it is Wang Chengen's own business, and with Wang Chengen's status, being able to speak like this gives Zhu Shun enough face.

Zhu Shun arched his hand and said: "What Brother Wang said, I bothered Brother Wang." ”

With Wang Chengen's heroic act of martyrdom with death, he has a kind of seed than many people with eggs, and he is worthy of Zhu Shun's royal brother.

The two exchanged two words, and Wang Chengen asked, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Zhu." ”

This matter involves the issue of public and private use, Zhu Shun didn't know if Wang Chengen would answer, so he could only be a dead horse doctor: "It's not a big deal." ”

"My third uncle opened a spinning workshop, Brother Wang should know, but I don't know why, no one dares to accept my family's yarn, so I want to ask Brother Wang what is going on."

Wang Chengen knew that Zhu Shun hadn't eaten yet, so he asked the chef at home to cook five or six dishes, and invited: "It's not too early, let's talk while eating." ”

Coming over to disturb Wang Chengen made Zhu Shun feel very embarrassed, and now he wants to eat and drink here again, with Zhu Shun's cheeky face or blushing: "I don't need to eat, I ....... it"

Without waiting for Zhu Shun to finish speaking, Wang Chengen grabbed Zhu Shun's arm and said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhu gives face to our family, dinner will be eaten here." ”

"There are no good dishes, just a few simple home-cooked dishes."

With all that said, Zhu Shun could only follow Wang Chengen to the side hall and sit on a dilapidated jujube wood table for eight immortals to eat.

Wang Chengen asked someone to bring a bottle of good wine: "Mr. Zhu came to taste this bottle of wine, this is the Chunling longevity wine rewarded by the emperor." ”

Zhu Shun was stunned for a moment when he heard the name of Chunling Yishou Wine, this is the imperial wine of the ancient royal family, Qianlong was able to live to nearly ninety years old, mainly relying on this Chunling Yishou Wine made with various precious medicinal materials.

Wang Chengen took two ordinary white porcelain wine glasses, poured a glass for Zhu Shun and said, "Our family knows that Mr. is worried about this matter, will it involve public and private use." ”

"Sir, don't worry, if it really comes to the point where you need to use Dongchang, even if our father comes, our family will not use it for public and private purposes."

"In fact, this matter has spread among the official eunuchs in the capital, even if Mr. doesn't come, our family will send someone to remind Mr. in the past two days."

"Just two days ago, Huang Yonggui, who lost all his family property, is the clan brother of Huang Yongfa, one of the eight Jin merchants, and used his connections to greet all the merchants around the capital."

"Don't use your family's yarn, otherwise you're against the Huang family."

"The eight Jin merchants have always been very united, and offending the Huang family is equivalent to offending the entire Jin merchants, so no one dares to use the yarn of the Zhu spinning factory."

Zhu Shun just nodded, not annoyed or angry, and said calmly: "Brother Wang, can you tell me more about this Huang Yonggui." ”
