Chapter 218: Setting Up a Weaving Bureau (Second Update, Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes!) )
However, he said that after Ning Xiu said goodbye to Uncle Chang, he returned to Jiangling with Liu Rushi and other members of the Hedong Poetry Society.
As soon as he entered the city, he went straight to his home.
This trip is still very meaningful, not only once again brushing up on prestige, but also gaining the New Year's friend of Zheng's seniors. Ning Xiu also took the time to visit Uncle Chang and opened up the sales channel of the glass vase in the elite class.
Everything was perfect and it was time to be reunited with the family.
After Ning Xiu went home, he went to see his father and mother first, and then he didn't even bother to drink tea and went straight to the workshop.
The simultaneous production of cement, glass, and soap has made the originally spacious yard a little cramped, and Ning Xiu is considering whether to buy another house to convert into a workshop. After all, there will be more and more things to be produced in the future, and the scale will be larger and larger, and it is certainly not enough to rely on the existing places.
Of course, you don't need to be in a hurry to do this, just do it slowly.
"Third brother, I heard that the imperial court is preparing to set up a weaving bureau in Jiangling and send commanders to Jiangling to weave eunuchs."
Shilang's unintentional words made Ning Xiu feel shocked.
"What did you just say? The imperial court wants to set up a weaving bureau in Gangneung? ”
Ning Xiu clenched his fists tightly and asked expectantly.
This news can be regarded as exciting. Although Shilang's information channel may not be very reliable, Ning Xiu firmly believes that it will not come out of nowhere, since the news has been spread, there must be a reason for its existence.
The Ming Dynasty successively set up weaving bureaus in Jinling, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places to weave silk for the imperial and Ming clans.
The silk and satin official uniforms that the imperial court awarded to officials every year required 10,000 raw materials, and the huge demand also fed many weavers. Most of the weavers in Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places are weaving for the official family, although the monthly money is not much, but it is extremely stable, which can be described as drought and flood income.
In addition to Suzhou and Hangzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing and other places also have a lot of weaving workshops, sometimes the officials and businessmen in Suzhou and Hangzhou can not complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, they will outsource part of the task, let the weavers in these places to catch up with the system.
Anyway, the craftsmanship of the weavers in the Jiangnan area is very high, and you can't see the difference if you don't look carefully.
To be an imperial merchant is to walk the quantity, and it doesn't hurt to have a slightly worse quality one out of ten silks.
The government-run weaving bureau is a supervisory body, and it does not produce silk itself, but is woven by the big businessmen they work with.
So in a sense, this is a public-private partnership model.
Of course, the weaving bureau is generally supervised by the admiral weaving eunuch. The eunuch is the slave of the Son of Heaven, and it is not surprising to entrust them with such an important task. After all, the silk produced was transported to Beijing by ship, and some even had to be used to make dragon robes, which was not sloppy at all.
Originally, there was no weaving bureau in Gangneung, and there was no weaving eunuch to admiral. The news that popped up out of nowhere was really exciting.
Ning Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Where did you hear this news?" ”
Juro pursed his lips and said, "It's not that dead fat man who said it." Although he spoke with a posture of underfighting, he had to admit that he was quite reliable. Didn't the news he released before prove to be true in the end? ”
Monkey King Fan?
Ning Xiu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the news was released by Sun Wufan.
If that's what he said, then it's most likely true.
This guy's father is the governor of Huguang, and he must be the first to know what is going on in Huguang's jurisdiction.
What's more, the Sun family not only has an official background, but also a wealthy businessman in the land of Jingchu, and the establishment of a weaving bureau is also a great opportunity for the Sun family to grab wealth.
Ning Xiu believed that with Sun Wufan's keen sense of smell, he would not be wrong, he must have wanted the Sun family to receive the order and become an imperial merchant!
"Shilang, hurry up and invite Brother Sun."
"What did the third brother ask him for? That dead fat man came to our house and had to eat and drink for nothing. ”
Juro complained indignantly, but his cheeks were very cute.
"Ahem, you just have to ask someone, the specific matter is very complicated, I will explain it to you when I have a chance later."
"Hmm." Although he was unwilling, Juro turned around and went.
In his mind, the third brother is a god, and the third brother alone has changed the fate of the entire Ning family, and what he says must be listened to!
While waiting for Sun Wufan, Ning Xiu was also thinking about wording and strategy.
Sun Wufan is of course his good friend, but he may not agree to let him in. This is different from contracting the renovation project of the palace, and the silk woven is to be sent to the palace. In case there is a business trip in the middle, none of them can run after being investigated.
So Ning Xiu had to come up with a good reason to convince Sun Wufan to let him accept him.
The reason why Ning Xiu was so interested in silk weaving was because he knew the huge profits of government-run silk weaving.
If you want to accumulate huge wealth in a short period of time, you must have a stable sales channel, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to cooperate with the Weaving Bureau and become an imperial businessman.
Although it is not bad to set up a weaving workshop to weave homespun cloth, it can only be sold in bulk. You can't make a lot of money without a stable market.
But as long as you become an imperial merchant, you will no longer have to worry about sales.
It's exciting just thinking about it!
Soon after, Sun Wufan followed Shilang and hurried over.
When Ning Xiu and Liu Ru went to Wuchang Mansion, Sun Wufan did not go with him, but stayed in Jingzhou to take care of the glass vase business.
With Sun Wufan's ability, he did not sell all the vases, which shows that the upper class has not yet accepted this novelty to the level of obsession.
Ning Xiu smiled and said, "Brother Sun, if you don't go to Wuchang Mansion this time, you will suffer a big loss. Do you know that we are holding a poetry club in a sleeve house, and there are popular girls in it to accompany you. ”
He deliberately dragged out the tone of his voice, tickling Sun Wufan's heart.
Sun Fatzi waved his hand again and again and said, "Come on, Brother Ning Xian won't squeeze me." I'm not here to help you sell money. Now that there are eight or nine sales, you have to treat me to a big dinner. ”
Ning Xiu patted Sun Wufan on the shoulder and smiled, "That's no problem." I went to Wuchang this time to meet the little uncle, and the little uncle promised to hold the glass vase for us, and this sales will not be worrying in the future. ”
Hearing this, Sun Wu Fan patted his head and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." It's still Brother Ning Xian's head. ”
Ning Xiu scolded with a smile: "Brother Sun, don't be a sycophant, let's get down to business." ”
"What's the matter?"
"I heard Shiro say that Brother Sun got the news that the imperial court is going to set up a weaving bureau in Jiangling?"
As soon as Ning Xiu finished speaking, Sun Wufan lowered his voice in a panic and said, "Brother Ning Xian, don't tell outsiders about this matter casually." I was drunk and babbling gibberish that day......"
Did Sun Wufan say this after drinking? Then I didn't run!
Drink and spit out the truth.
"Brother Sun, rest assured, Ning will be tight-lipped."
The corners of Ning Xiu's mouth rose slightly, patting his chest as a protection.
......
