Chapter 222: Eunuch Gao's Banquet (Sixth Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

"A different way of thinking?" Xie Yun was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing with doubt.

After a long time, he bowed his hand to Ning Xiu and said, "Please also ask Friend Ning to make it clear." ”

Ning Xiu nodded, and said in his heart that this Xie Yun is still very self-aware, and if he doesn't understand, he asks if he doesn't understand, no one will laugh at him.

"We can ask weavers to come to Gangneung to teach weaving techniques."

Ning Xiu said with a smile: "The weavers don't want to come to Jiangling because the weaving must be in the Weaving Bureau, and the kind of outsourcing must also be the government, and the worst is also the political secretary of Benbu." The time given by the imperial court is tight, and they may not be able to go back once a year, and some people with heavy nostalgia are naturally reluctant to come. But if we just hire them to come to Jingzhou to teach silk weaving techniques and promise a good honorarium, they will not refuse. After all, teaching technology is a month or two at most, and the time on the road is only about three months. ”

Ning Xiu felt that he had already made it very clear, and then it was up to Xie Yun to digest it himself.

Xie Yun fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a long time, he asked with a sad face, "Is this really okay?" Are weavers really willing to teach weaving techniques to their peers? ”

Ning Xiu thought he was worried about something, and couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing it.

"Of course, weaving technology is not a unique skill, the number of weavers in Jiangnan is tens of thousands, can you ensure that everyone does not speak out? If it is Jiangnan people who ask for weaving technology, maybe they will have a little scruples, but now that the Jiangling Weaving Bureau thousands of miles away has hired them to teach weaving technology, what else do they have to worry about? ”

Ning Xiu's analysis is not unreasonable.

Jingzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou are thousands of miles apart, and there is basically no competition.

What's more, the bulk of the silk is still supplied to the imperial court. To put it bluntly, it is the imperial court that determines the quota of each weaving bureau.

Suzhou and Hangzhou silk, crown the world.

As long as the head of the Son of Heaven is not kicked by the donkey, it will not change the situation of Suzhou and Hangzhou as the main silk weaving place.

The reason why the Son of Heaven opened two more weaving bureaus in Jiangling and Huzhou was to warn the eunuchs of the Weaving Bureaus in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jinling and other places, so that they would not dare to act indiscriminately.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of imperial mental trick, just checks and balances.

The status of the Hangzhou and Suzhou Weaving Bureau is unshakable, which the weavers know very well.

"When Friend Ning said this, I felt a little confident in my heart. But ......"

Ning Xiu frowned secretly, and said in his heart, why is this Xie Yun such a mother-in-law.

"What else is Gongzi Xie worried about?"

"Who did the weaver hire to teach?"

Weaving silk is a technical job, and it is not something that can be learned by just pulling a person from the street.

Generally, the teaching of silk weaving technology in Jiangnan is based on the family unit, and the father passes from son to brother. Now that they want to set up a weaving bureau in Gangneung, how do they choose people?

"It's simpler, just pick people from the weaving workshop. Those who are highly skilled and hard-working can be recruited to the Weaving Bureau as an apprentice. ”

Although Huguang's silk weaving is not as good as Jiangnan, the weaving cloth is not lagging behind.

The homespun cloth woven by Huguang and the Songjiang cloth are also between the best.

Ning Xiu continued: "The weavers of these weaving workshops already have a weaving foundation, although silk weaving and weaving are different, but as long as you explain and understand carefully, it is not difficult to understand the way. ”

"Friend Ning's talent!"

Xie Yun was excited: "I'll go find Gonggong Gao!"

"Wait!"

Ning Xiu hurriedly coughed and stopped Xie Yun.

I'm rubbing, is this Xie Yun a wooden man? Is EQ zero?

He worked so hard to teach the way to break the game, Xie Yun didn't even say thank you?

Ning Xiuchong squeezed his eyes at Sun Wufan, who was watching the play on the side, and Sun Fatzi immediately stood up and patted Xie Yun on the shoulder and said, "Actually, Brother Ning Xian is also very interested in silk weaving......

Sun Wufan said it so bluntly, Xie Yun could hear it no matter what.

He smiled and said, "This is easy to do, I'll arrange it." Friend Ning only needs to meet with Grandpa Gao and have a banquet. ”

The weavers employed by the Weaving Bureau belong to the establishment, and the Weaving Bureau pays monthly fees for work in the Weaving Bureau. In addition, the weaving bureau will also outsource some tasks to large workshop owners, and directly purchase the finished silk at the specified time. Of course, the weavers of these outsourced weaving workshops are the responsibility of the workshop owner, and the wages are also paid by the workshop owner, not the establishment.

Rao is so, and there is also a great profit to be made. Therefore, being able to become an imperial merchant and receive outsourcing orders has become the pursuit of countless workshop owners.

It turns out that Ning Xiu wants to be a workshop owner!

"I'm tired."

Ning Xiu wanted to express his gratitude but also couldn't spoil the image and temperament of the "Wolong" master, so he had to say a light sentence.

......

......

On April 16, Gao Zhen, the weaving eunuch of Jiangling, set up a banquet in the procuratorate where he temporarily lived, and the objects of the banquet were Li Rui, the prefect of Jingzhou, Yao Chen, the commander of Jiangling County, Xie Yun, the son-in-law of the Zhang family, and of course, Ning Xiu.

In fact, the reason why the eunuch Gao held a banquet was to express his gratitude to Ning Xiu, and at the same time gave Ning Xiu the right to outsource silk weaving at the banquet.

Chinese people like to talk about things at banquets, and this eunuch Gao is no exception.

This is a typical official banquet, extremely extravagant.

Hot dishes and cold dishes, delicious and delicious.

The seat arrangement is also very particular, and the eunuch Gao, as the organizer of the banquet, naturally sits at the top. And the prefect Li Rui and the county magistrate Yao Chen sat on the left and right of the high eunuch respectively.

The Ming Dynasty respected the left, which means that the status of Li Zhifu is higher.

As for Xie Yun and Ning Xiu, they sat slightly lower.

Because neither of them is an official and they are juniors, it is natural that they should be at the end.

But in fact, there were only five people at the banquet, so there didn't seem to be a big difference. If it is a practice banquet and a reception banquet for dozens of people, then many things can be seen.

"We invited you here today for the Weaving Bureau."

Eunuch Gao raised his wine glass and raised it in a circle, and finally stopped in the direction of Ning Xiu and said with a smile: "Ning Xiaoyou has a strange plan, our family has discussed it with Governor Li and Yao County Order, and I think it is feasible." ”

Ning Xiu let out a long sigh of relief, got up and raised his wine glass. He was confident in his plan, but he had to get the consent of the high eunuch. If Eunuch Gao disagrees, everything will be in vain.

"Gao Gong is wise, and the kid admires it. The kid toasted the high prince. ”

For the group of eunuchs, Ning Xiu was not very disgusted.

Compared with those mouthful cannons of the Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs at least have a bottom line and ethics.

If Ning Xiu was forced to choose one of the two partners, Ning Xiu would definitely choose a eunuch.

Gao Zhen's heart is so comfortable.

After all, he is a weaving eunuch of Jiangling Admiral, and his identity is outstanding. Although Ning Xiu helped him come up with a way to break the game, he couldn't break the etiquette.

He set the wine glass in Ning Xiu's direction to imply.

Ning Xiu got up to toast with great discernment, and he followed it again.
