Chapter 56: Fighting for Silver

"County Lord, the textile factory is not allowed to enter." The embroidered lady of the Lord's Mansion of Anding County reported.

The embroiderer girl is in her early twenties, beautiful in appearance, and she does a good job of embroidery, and most of the lifelike embroidery on the skirt comes from her.

Yoyo was very interested in the loom of the textile factory, and asked her to take a look, if she could really weave five pieces of cloth a day, she might as well order a batch from the iron shop, but she didn't expect the embroidery girl to be stopped at the door.

Youyou said: "Don't let in? "Is there an old servant guarding the door of the textile mill?

"Yes, the woman at the door said that Aunt Zheng instructed that idle people should not enter. In addition to the slave and maid, several people were stopped, looking at their clothes, they were all subordinates of the big family's house, and they whispered to the woman which house they belonged to, but the slave and maid did not hear clearly. "The embroidery lady has excellent eyes, but her ears are a little back, very slight, but if the voice of others is small, she will not be able to hear clearly.

Since everyone can't get in, there's not much to say. Youyou said: "You go down." ”

The embroidery lady bowed and retreated, took two steps, wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything, and went back to the embroidery room.

Yoyo said to himself: "He's quite wary. "It's just that the subordinates of other mansions are not allowed to enter, and even the people she sent are not allowed to enter, will it be too ruthless?

Thinking of Zhang Ning's appearance when she saw her eyebrows and smiles, she shook her head again, he is not such a person, it should be Zheng's own opinion, right? Just guessing, the green pothos came in and said, "County Lord, Your Majesty and Lord Zhang are here." ”

Since Zhang Ning became the general banner, Luluo has called him "Lord Zhang", although he is still annoyed by him, but he does not dare to be rude in the slightest.

"Your Majesty is here? He's here too? Youyou hurriedly got up and greeted him, why are these two so annoying, and if they want to come, they won't send someone to say a word in advance.

When did Zhu Qizhen come over because of Xingzhi? She didn't have an opinion before, but this time, somehow, she felt that time was in a hurry, she didn't have time to dress up properly, she didn't change into a new clothes, and the jewelry on her head was not good enough. If she sends someone to say it in advance, she won't have time to dress up.

Zhu Qizhen walked along the stone road in the mansion and said, "What has the county lord been muttering to you recently?" ”

"I didn't say anything, I just saw the minister on duty, come and take a look." Zhang Ning thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it, so he said: "The minister hopes that the county lord can stay longer, so that the minister can see the county lord more." ”

"Hahaha." Zhu Qizhen laughed heartily and said, "I heard that you have a three-year contract with the imperial grandmother, and I promised you that if you can fill the treasury within three years, I will make you a marquis." ”

There are many ways to fill the treasury, but you can't do a lot of things if you don't have a pro-government. Zhang Ning complained silently and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Then I thought, should I persuade the emperor to open a bank and reform the currency? Alas, forget it, the currency is worth pegging to the gold standard, the treasury has no silver, and the issuance of currency can only follow the old path of Zhu Chongba.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "As long as the people have food to eat and the treasury has silver, why don't I make you a marquis?" ”

Before the words fell, I saw a person dressed in a goose yellow shirt, with fluttering clothes, like a fairy in the sky, turning from the flowers, it was Youyou. Zhang Ning's eyes suddenly straightened.

"See Brother Huang." Bow slowly.

"No courtesy." Zhu Qizhen didn't stop, took the lead, and said: "Youyou, prepare more rose cakes, what is made in the imperial dining room is not as delicious as what you make in your house." He didn't know until recently that the new method had been taught to the Imperial Dining Room by Yoyo.

When he responded, Zhang Ning saluted: "I've seen the county lord." ”

"No courtesy." Yoyo's extremely bright eyes fell on him, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, the flying fish suit looked so good on him.

Zhang Ning saw that there was a moment of obsession in her eyes, and her heart was scared, her waist straightened up, and said: "The county lord has not seen him for a few hours, and his demeanor is better than before." ”

He was really bold, the emperor was in front of him, he glanced at him, pretended not to hear, and followed Zhu Qizhen.

I'm shy. Zhang Ning smiled secretly in his heart and strode to follow.

The three of them entered the courtyard where Yoyo lived, and there were maidservants under the bamboo forest who had already prepared a few short brocade dun dim sum preserves. Zhu Qizhen sat in the middle, accompanied by the prime minister, and Youyou ordered two more plates of rose cake to be served.

The emperor is also a human being, and when he is greedy, Zhang Ning didn't feel strange when he saw Zhu Qizhen eating two pieces of rose cake in a row, what he was strange was why Zhu Qizhen liked to eat sweets? There don't seem to be many men with a sweet tooth.

Maybe there is a channel for emotions to confide, or maybe it is to recognize the fact that Wang Zhen is just an internal servant, he did not treat him as a husband and father, and he is no longer depressed for Wang Zhen's behavior of imitating the Tang Dynasty's internal servant, Zhu Qizhen is very interested and laughs constantly.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Yoyo led the topic to the textile factory and said, "Can you really weave five pieces of cloth a day?" ”

"Weaving five pieces of cloth a day is not much, but I will knit more in the future." Zhang Ning ate the crispy snails and said casually, thinking in his heart, how to invent electricity, or replace labor with steam?

"I've heard that there is a long queue of people who order looms, but is it true?" Yoyo continued.

Zhang Ning heard the smell and said, "The county lord also wants to open a textile factory?" ”

In the past few days, Lao Tie has received orders and received soft hands, and he will not be able to catch up until this time next year. A few days ago, when countless people asked Lao Tie to send silver to buy a loom, Lao Tie was so frightened that he didn't dare to take it, or Zhang Ning said: "Why don't you do business if you have business?" Pick up! The price is higher. ”

As soon as the news of Lao Tie's order came out, the threshold of the iron workshop was almost flattened, and everyone in the capital who could get five hundred taels of silver begged Lao Tie to buy it. Zhang Ning offered a loom of five hundred taels and sold from one loom. Imperial relatives, nobles, and eunuchs, there are hundreds of hundreds of orders, ordinary people, buy one or two, and there are also a few families who buy one or two for silver.

The temptation to weave five pieces of cloth a day is too great.

Zhang Ning looked at the order and smiled from ear to ear, not to mention the cloth, just the loom, he made a lot of money. As for so many looms, whether the woven cloth will have a saturation day, then it will be left to the market to adjust. In the short term, predictably, no.

What he didn't expect was that Yoyo moved his mind to open a textile factory.

Youyou said: "There is a large population in the house, I want to buy a few, which can be used to weave cloth for my own use, or I can give some to my father." ”

The population of King Zheng's Mansion is really large, and it costs a lot of money to buy clothes for the four seasons every year.

Zhang Ning said: "Why bother, you want cloth, I'll write a note, you just ask people to ask for it from the Zheng family." The price of the cloth is calculated according to 8%. Let's talk about it first, I don't have a profit at 20% off, that is, you will be preferential. ”

Zhu Qizhen and Youyou looked at him with four eyes at the same time, and after a few breaths, Zhu Qizhen said: "How about Zhang Qing also give me a 20% discount?" ”

Zhang Ning smiled dryly: "That's nature." ”

Are your cousins going to join forces to rob?
