Chapter 55: Measurements

Ji Qiao did the same again, and found four more to work with.

Then call the five bosses of the cooperation together and let them vigorously buy silkworm cocoons, unlimited amounts, and the money will be paid by themselves.

The five bosses were a little incomprehensible: "Qiao Gongzi, there are several of us, and there is still some stock of silkworm and satin, can you sell it if you buy such a large number of silkworm cocoons and produce them into silk?" ”

Ji Qiao replied: "Don't worry, my production efficiency will be increased by more than ten times, and the production cost will be reduced by more than five times." Let's think about it, as soon as our goods come out, the price has been reduced by more than five times, and civilians can afford it, and the quality is better than before, how many people will buy it! ”

The five bosses were incredulous: "How is this possible? ”

Ji Qiao urged: "You just have to go and collect it, I will ask for the goods in half a month and start mass production." ”

......

That night, Xuanwu Houfu.

Chen He reported: "Master Hou, Gongzi Qiao let the five of us start to buy a large number of silkworm cocoons now, and mass produce silk in half a month." He also said that it is possible to increase production efficiency tenfold and reduce production costs by five times. But we don't believe it, it can't be a trick, right? ”

Xuanwu Hou replied lightly: "That's true, Ji Qiao has carried out a major reform of the entire production process, and it is absolutely no problem to reduce the production cost by five times." ”

Chen He was taken aback! Hearing this, in addition to himself, Xuanwu Hou also arranged for someone to blend in with Ji Qiao.

Still, he flattered: "Should we stop them from buying cocoons?" ”

Xuanwu Hou replied indifferently: "No need, let it be purchased and produced." ”

Chen He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask. He was not familiar with Xuanwu, but he was forced to do it by his threat of force today, so he helped him to be an insider.

In fact, Xuanwu Hou had already arranged an inside line to enter Ji Qiao's factory. Ji Qiao's silk reeling car and loom, the day he developed it, he knew it.

Xuanwu Hou has already made people imitate Ji Qiao's silk reeling car and loom. It's the thermometers designed by Ji Qiao, and his subordinates can't see the design principle.

However, the new production line of Xuanwu Hou will not be much slower than Ji Qiao's.

However, Xuanwu Hou's silk inventory is relatively large, and there are tens of thousands of zhang, and they are ready to be sold at a price of more than six times, so they will still ship in large quantities in front of Ji Qiao.

Xuanwu Hou now asked Ji Qiao to produce silk in large quantities, because he wanted him to put all the money into it, and then sell it at a price lower than his production cost, so that his silk could not be sold.

Although you will lose a lot of money in this way, you can't help it because you are forced by Ji Qiao. If not, the entire silk market will be robbed by Ji Qiao, so I also want to defeat Ji Qiao at once.

In fact, in addition to the silk accident, Xuanwu Hou also has territorial tax revenue, copper mine income, and salt operating income. The loss here will not be very large, if the entire silk market is lost, the loss will be big!

......

Ji Qiao knows that now he is directly competing with Xuanwuhou, and in order to have an advantage in the competition, he must work hard in terms of production cost, production quality and clothing style.

The first two items are qualified by themselves, and the latter one is not.

At the same time, I thought that it was not enough to just fight a price war, but also to make money, and if the money of the commoners was not earned, the money of the nobles would be earned.

Aristocrats like to compare, and simply make a brand by themselves, and the price is set high.

Ji Qiao wants to introduce 21st century clothing styles, but I'm afraid that everyone won't be able to accept it. But thinking that more than 90 years later, King Zhao Wuling of Zhao State also carried out clothing reform and introduced Hufu, which was finally accepted by everyone.

Hufu, like modern clothing, is also divided into pants and tops, so Ji Qiao decided to take a gamble.

But I don't want to change too much, so the pants are made according to the 21st century.

The jacket is a combination of a 21st century coat and a deep coat of the Spring and Autumn period, with only the knee top, the middle is split, the sleeves are changed to small and short, and the waist is tied so that some accessories can be hung.

......

Ji Qiao wrote something, then found Lin Shi and whispered to her: "Lin Da Beauty, go and give me the size of yourself and your mother according to the requirements of this list." ”

After Lin Shi took it and looked at it, she was surprised! The list contains a private place. Immediately scolded: "You damn pervert......"

Ji Qiao hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Be quiet, don't let people hear you." It's not what you think, I just designed a few clothes, I need a size, and I need to make it fit properly. ”

Lin Shi was a little skeptical, but seeing these things that Ji Qiao had been making up during this time, he felt that these words were more credible.

But he still said worriedly: "It's not good for me to ask my mother about this kind of thing!" ”

Ji Qiao encouraged: "You just ask, just say that I want it, and use it to make a few clothes." Promise that your mother will agree, so that she is not as brainless as you. ”

"Okay, I'll help you this time, if my mother scolds me, it's no wonder if I don't kill you!"

Although Lin Shi was still a little worried, she still went after speaking.

......

Not long after, Lin Shi came back, but her face didn't seem to be very good.

Ji Qiao said in her heart: Mrs. Dongfang shouldn't be angry! Is it that this dead girl can't express it clearly, so that her mother scolded? This damn girl won't really hit me, let's talk about it first.

Ji Qiao immediately pulled out his legs and ran.

Lin Shi shouted: "What are you running, I won't hit you." ”

Ji Qiao stopped and said angrily: "You have a black face, and you are scared to death!" How dare I not run, what did your mother say? ”

"The size is given to me."

After Lin Shi finished speaking, he threw a piece of silk with written words at Ji Qiao.

Ji Qiao was very puzzled: "You dead woman, I gave it all to you, what are you doing with a black face?" ”

"Look at the content." Lin Shi pointed to the piece of silk and said angrily.

Ji Qiao took it and looked at it, except for the size, there was nothing else written on it! He looked at her with puzzled eyes.

Lin Shi sighed: "You're pretending, right?" I can't see it with such a bright brain, and my mother's size is bigger than mine. ”

Ji Qiao couldn't help laughing a little after hearing this, wanting to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.

.......

A few days later, more than a dozen sets of clothes designed by Ji Qiao came out, both for men and women.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the ruling class attached great importance to the purity of clothing.

Vermilion and black were regarded as noble colors and auspicious colors, and were mostly used in the ceremonial dresses of nobles, and were worn on ceremonial occasions such as rituals, wedding ceremonies, and crown ceremonies.

In the later period, red and purple gradually became noble because of their proximity to vermilion, and were also used by princes for official clothing.

In general, the five colors of blue, red, yellow, white, and black are positive colors, symbolizing nobility, and are used for His Holiness, and for blouses, official robes, and dresses.

After the Spring and Autumn Period, etiquette collapsed, and the concept and customs of clothing color were more confused.

So Ji Qiao chose three colors for the men's model: purple, black, and white, and the women's model chose purple, red, and white.

When I tried it on, I didn't dare to wear it. Ji Qiao put it on himself first, and chose a purple suit.

But after everyone saw it, they were stunned! Ji Qiao wore this set of clothes, both generous and spiritual, and did not lose his noble temperament!

"Mother, let's change it too."

Lin Shi immediately became interested, picked up two sets of clothes, and pulled Mrs. Dongfang into the room together.

Fortunately, Ji Qiao and Lin Shi explained how to wear those clothes.
