Chapter XXXVII
stepped on the faces of the seven great Jin merchants and trampled on the ground.
Huang Yonggui can do a prosperous business, and his scheming and city government have a very deep fire, the reason why he is like this today is that he does not hesitate to form a grudge comparable to killing his father's enemy, in fact, he deliberately.
Huang Yonggui usually loses face in front of these Jin merchants, which makes Huang Yonggui, who regards face as more important than life, how can he bear it.
Today, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to earn it back with interest, and let the businessmen and bureaucrats and squires in the capital know who is the head of the eight Jin merchants in the capital.
As soon as today's incident passes, Huang Yonggui's face will become very valuable in the capital, as for the faces of the other chief stewards, they are not worth much.
Huang Yonggui may have cared in the past, but now he doesn't care about this matter, as long as he holds this life in his hand, the seven chief stewards will never dare to offend him, let alone take revenge.
Thirty-two spindle spinning wheels.
It was a spinning machine equivalent to thirty-two spinning machines, and the person who researched this thing was simply a genius among geniuses.
For Shang Jia, such an artifact is no less than the most precious national treasure and jade seal of the Ming Dynasty.
The merchants of Songjiang Prefecture regarded this spinning wheel as high as 32 spindles as important as the ancestral tomb.
It was strictly forbidden to spread the method of making such a large spinning wheel, and it was not even allowed to sell it to merchants outside of Songjiang Prefecture.
It is precisely with this kind of national treasure of 32 spindles that Songjiang Mansion has created the status of the Daming cotton textile center.
Songjiang purple cotton cloth is even more enjoyable overseas, popular in Europa's high society, and has become the best choice for Europa gentlemen to make pants.
It's just a pity that Hangzhou also has a large spinning wheel, making Hangzhou the best choice for Europa gentlemen to make shirts.
The original owner of this Jiangnan spinning mill was a businessman from Songjiang Prefecture, and Huang Yonggui, who privately swallowed this spinning workshop, will also be the only foreign businessman who has 32 spindles of national treasures.
Huang Yonggui blew the heat of the teacup, and he didn't drink it very badly, which made the seven chief stewards feel that their faces were trampled on the ground, and they stomped a few times.
This is not to tell the other businessmen and bureaucrats present that the seven chief stewards are just a few earth dogs wagging their tails and begging in front of Huang Yonggui.
Huang Yonggui felt that he was almost in control, and it didn't take long for the entire capital to know his status in the eight Jin merchants, and said lightly: "If you want a share, it's not impossible." ”
"It depends on your filial piety, whose filial piety is greater, I will give a little more to whomever my lord."
After saying this, Huang Yonggui waved his hand and asked the Seven Jin Merchants to go back.
When everyone was seated, Huang Yonggui coughed lightly, attracted everyone's attention, and stood up slowly.
Before he could speak, Zhu Shun, who was finally unhindered by no one in front of him, said the truth: "Nine cents of silver." ”
After standing up, Huang Yonggui, who became the focus of the audience, smiled faintly: "Nine cents of silver is not low, I will pay a penny, sir......"
Before he finished saying this, Huang Yonggui's face suddenly changed, he turned around tremblingly, and asked with a pale face: "You... How much do you come out. ”
The third uncle next to Zhu Shun was anxious on the spot, and he couldn't care about the presence of others: "Shun'er, the price is too low." ”
All the businessmen and bureaucrats and squires present, of course, knew that the low price was terrifying, and when they saw that Zhu Shun was so young, and heard Shun'er shouted by the elders, they all shook their heads and smiled helplessly.
is another stunned young man who accompanied his elders to see the world, usually only cares about spending money lavishly, spending all day and drinking, where do you know the price of your own workshop.
Huang Yonggui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and hurriedly smoothed this breath.
Before the businessmen and bureaucrats and squires finished laughing, they couldn't laugh anymore, because they heard Zhu Zhongli's next sentence.
"In this way, we will make less money, and a hundred spindles can only earn a maximum of twenty taels of silver a month."
Even if the price is raised to two taels of silver, a hundred spinning machines will not earn twenty taels of silver a month, and the labor cost is too high.
Even if a hundred female laborers are squeezed to the limit, and only one penny of silver is given a month, money, food, salt, firewood, and so on are needed.
The most feared thing is to get sick, as many people are prone to disease, the medicinal materials in these years are not cheap, poor female workers have no money to see a doctor, as long as they are sick, they have to wait at home to die.
Once the female worker dies, the family will definitely come to make trouble, and if the matter of human life is not handled well, she will suffer from prison.
The Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to human life, and every life has to pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty, and every condemned prisoner must be personally approved by the emperor before he can be beheaded.
If you don't want to eat a lawsuit, you need to go up and down, and you can't satisfy the yamen without a few hundred taels of silver.
As long as the female workers are sick, under normal circumstances, they will grab some cheap medicinal materials and give them at will, so that there will be an excuse to clear their name, after all, they have already seen a doctor.
It costs a lot of silver to grab some medicinal herbs casually, and when all kinds of them are added up, the cost price of yarn has risen sharply.
Huang Yonggui dared to blatantly humiliate the chief steward of the Jin merchants in front of so many people, just relying on the cheap yarn price to win the share of the Song family's workshop and open up the plaster market in the south of the Yangtze River.
Well, now, even if you don't make money, you can't compare to the other party's price.
Huang Yonggui thought that he had offended the chief steward of the Seven Jin Merchants in the capital, and his only hope for his rise was extinguished again, so he didn't go down in one breath and fainted on the spot.
The seven chief stewards glanced at Huang Yonggui coldly, their eyes full of poison.
The lowest price appeared, and Zhu Shun immediately became the focus of the audience, and the businessmen all surrounded him with stammering faces.
"Zhu Zhangchang, your father bought cotton cloth in my family's cotton cloth shop back then, so it stands to reason that we are still friends."
"Ever bought cotton? I gave Brother Zhu three cents cheaper back then, and the affection was great. ”
"Sanwen? His second uncle is also a loyal brother, but he has borrowed money from me, and this is more affectionate than you. ”
Just when the bureaucratic squire and all the businessmen flattered Zhu Shun, the seven chief stewards came over together, ready to talk to Zhu Shun, hoping that Zhu Shun could give them some shares.
Of course, there are not too many, nine achievements are done, and the remaining one percent is regarded as grace and rewarded to Zhu Shun.
It's just a small businessman, and it's kind enough to be able to reward him with a share of 10%.
The most important thing is to bring that kind of spinning machine, with the kind of spinning machine that makes money for nine cents of silver, the spinning market in Daming will be in the pocket of Jin merchants.
Just when the seven chief stewards exchanged glances and were about to speak, Zhu Shun ignored them at all, frowned and said, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”
The seven chief stewards were all stunned and froze in place, they were the representatives of the seven Jin merchants, not to mention the merchants, even the officials in the capital were polite when they saw them.
The owner of a small workshop dared to insult them like this.
The seven archstewards exchanged glances again, did not speak, and left the place.
