Sun Wufan's news is indeed very reliable.

In mid-April, the admiral weaving eunuch sent by the imperial court to Gangneung arrived.

This more than a month has been enough for Sun Wufan to dredge up the relationship, up and down, and the Zhang family has also successfully become the only family to cooperate with the Weaving Bureau.

As for the outsourcing of the Weaving Bureau, that's another matter. Ning Xiu firmly believed that with Sun Wufan here, he could get a piece of the pie.

The imperial court's plan to set up weaving bureaus in Jiangling and Huzhou was very sudden, and the chief officials of Jiangling County and Jingzhou Prefecture were so shocked that they couldn't speak after seeing the Di report.

Jingzhou prefect Li Rui is okay, Yao Chen, who succeeded Chen County's order, received an order from the imperial court to rush thousands of miles from Nanzhili to Jiangling to take office, and he learned the news before his ass was hot, and it was like five thunderbolts.

He originally worked as a county magistrate in Jinling City, and had contact with the eunuchs of the town guard and the eunuchs of the admiral weaving, and knew that these eunuchs had strange temperaments and were extremely difficult to deal with. The eunuch is a slave of the Son of Heaven and cannot be offended by any collision, and must be accompanied by a smiling face, which is more tiring than serving his parents.

When he received the order, he was secretly glad that he finally didn't have to endure the eunuch's bird anger anymore, who knew that he would have to deal with the eunuch when he ran to Jiangling, which was thousands of miles away.

If it weren't for Governor Li's kind words and comfort, Yao County Ling might have really found a piece of tofu and killed him.

Li Rui was very interested in this admiral weaving eunuch. He had never had any experience dealing with eunuchs when he was in Jingshi. There were no eunuchs in Jingzhou, so he did not work with eunuchs after he went to Jiangling.

This time, it can make him have a breakthrough of zero.

The eunuch surnamed Gao Mingzhen is one in thirty.

is different from his domineering name, Gao Eunuch is a standard eunuch figure, with a water snake waist, a pretty face, a white face and no beard, and he twists and pinchs when he walks.

After Eunuch Gao arrived in Gangneung, he temporarily lived in the courtyard prepared for the Imperial Governor. There is no way, the Son of Heaven's decree is too sudden, and it will definitely be too late to build a mansion for Eunuch Gao when Governor Li receives the palace report.

Although there is a ready-made Liao Wangfu, it has now been sealed, and all the relatives of the Liao King have been allocated.

Having said that, even if the Liao Wangfu was not seized, the high eunuch would not dare to live in it.

After all, he is a slave of the Son of Heaven, and he can't do this kind of thing that steps on the face of the monarch's father.

Fortunately, the environment of the procuratorate was not bad, and Eunuch Gao did not complain about anything when he moved in, but praised Li and Yao.

Eunuch Gao came to Jiangling to establish a weaving bureau, so naturally he couldn't just enjoy it and not work.

The fate of the Suzhou Admiral Weaving Eunuch was in front of him, and Eunuch Gao shuddered every time he thought about it.

To be honest, setting up a weaving bureau in Gangneung is not a very good choice. Although Jiangling's textile industry is also very developed, most of it is cotton spinning, and the level of silk weaving industry is more than one grade different from that of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Jinling.

It is estimated that the Son of Heaven also took care of his teacher Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Yuanfu, so he gave a place to Jiangling.

Since the Son of Heaven has made an order, there is no room for bargaining, and the weaving bureau must be built and done well.

Although Gangneung has a weak foundation in this aspect, it also has great potential from another perspective.

As long as the support is in place, it is not impossible to catch up with Suzhou and Hangzhou with rapid development.

With the support of the imperial court, there was no major problem with the loom, and the most troublesome place was the weavers.

The reason why Jiangling silk weaving is not as good as Suzhou and Hangzhou is largely due to the lack of excellent weavers.

Most of these weavers were reluctant to leave their homes and go to Gangneung, thousands of miles away.

The solution that the eunuch Gao thought of was to dig it at a high price, give these weavers a large amount of settling-in money, and promise a good monthly payment.

He believes that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and who will have trouble with money?

But he was wrong.

The people sent to Jiangnan were going to say that they were dry, but those weavers just didn't want to come.

Eunuch Gao couldn't believe it, what did these people think, they didn't earn money with several times the high salary, and they had to nest in their own one-third of an acre of land, what kind of profit did they have?

In desperation, Eunuch Gao had to ask Li and Yao for help.

Governor Li and Yao County Ling were invited to sit in the courtyard, and Eunuch Gao smiled helplessly: "The two of you also saw it, our family made a lot of stupid tricks when they first arrived, and now they can't even recruit weavers." ”

Li Rui hurriedly said: "Gao Gong's words are serious. It's still early, and Xia Guan believes that patience will always recruit people. ”

Eunuch Gao shook his head again and again: "You can't say that." Although the imperial court requires the silk to be handed over before the end of the year, it has to be made into silk in November, right? Peeling cocoons, boiling cocoons, and reeling silk are extremely time-consuming, and they need to be woven after making silk. I don't know how many threads are used for that piece of silk, our family is really bottomless now, and the sooner you start, the better. ”

Yao Chen often dealt with these eunuchs, and had already summed up a set of coping methods, and immediately followed Eunuch Gao's words and said: "What Gao Gong said is very true, this kind of thing is not too late. It would be better to complete the share stipulated by the imperial court earlier, isn't it? ”

"That's what we mean!"

Eunuch Gao cast an approving glance at Yao Chen, and said in his heart that this Jiangling County Decree is more able to speak than the Jingzhou prefect.

"It's just that I don't know how many pieces of silk the imperial court needs from Jiangling to weave?"

"Well."

Eunuch Gao pondered for a moment, feeling that there was no need to hide this kind of thing from the two of them, so he dragged out his voice and said, "A thousand horses." ”

"A thousand?"

Rao is weaving matter has nothing to do with Yao Chen, he still exclaimed.

"It's a little difficult, isn't it? Jiangling silk weaving has a thin foundation, you have to take your time, five hundred horses in the first year is about the same, and it is indeed a little difficult to ask for a thousand horses at once. ”

"Hey, why don't we know. But His Majesty Chrysostom said that since this share has been decided, we have to bear it head-on. ”

Eunuch Gao cried and said, "The two of you also help think about it, what is the best way?" ”

Li Rui pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you ask someone from the Zhang family to ask, maybe they have a way?" ”

"Yes, what Fuzun said is right, the people of the Zhang family must have a way."

Eunuch Gao was a dead horse doctor, and nodded helplessly: "Then call someone to call the people of the Zhang family to discuss and discuss." ”

......

......

However, it was said that Eunuch Gao approached the steward of Zhang's Mansion to discuss the recruitment of weavers, and then the news reached Sun Wufan, and then through Sun Wufan, it reached Ning Xiu's ears.

"Brother Ning Xian, think about it too, is there any good way?"

Tsk, weaving a thousand pieces of silk to make this high eunuch rush like this, it's too exaggerated.

He said in his heart that this is really the emperor is not in a hurry, but after thinking about it carefully, Gao Zhen is indeed a eunuch, and he should indeed be in a hurry, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Of course there is, but I can't just say it, can I?"

......
