There is really no technical content in this kind of brand-name bag, and the cost is not expensive. It's the design that's really expensive, as well as the fame. So, the best copycat is probably these things.

In fact, in the previous life, there was a very famous fashion company, every time Paris Fashion Week or Milan Fashion Week, it would send its subordinates to copy other people's ideas. Then, when the real designer has not yet distributed the goods, the plagiarized products will be shipped in large quantities at the fastest speed, and the reputation is quite resounding.

That's one of the awkward problems in the fashion industry – there's no technical content in fashion except creativity. The same design can be made by your great designer in Paris, and my little tailor in the countryside can also make it, as long as the craftsmanship is not too fashionable.

Marin had a girlfriend in his previous life and was a crazy lover of copycat luxury. When she buys clothes on a certain treasure, she always compares the design style of the Paris fashion show and the Milan fashion show, and often compares the genuine pictures, searches for similar cheap copycat clothes on a certain treasure, and then buys it with her hands...... In just a few months, Marin was bombarded with various fashion pictures and was forced to work as a staff officer. Because, he is always asked, "How about this?" Isn't it good-looking? There is still a need for comment......

It was those months of torture that forced Marin to memorize a lot of fashion and designer bag styles. Now, I can recall it too.

As long as you find enough leather craftsmen to make leather bags, you can carry out mass production. Moreover, Marin does not plan to build a factory in the North Sea country. Mainly because the wages of European craftsmen were too high, and it was difficult to find so many skilled leather workers.

However, there were many leathermen in the Ming Dynasty......

The cobbler is also a type of craftsman, and there is a lot of control under the government and the army. As long as Ma Lin was willing to spend money, he could bribe those Ming officials and generals and recruit a large number of leathermen from them.

Then, they will all be sent to the Hokkaido tannery in Hokkaido, where they will be gathered and produce a variety of brand-name bags according to Marin's "design".

The women of the Ming Dynasty could not be compared with bags, so they were all shipped back to Europe and let the European ladies pretend to be ......

The wages of Ming craftsmen are very low, and the annual food and silver given by the government to those craftsmen is about 7.2 taels of silver, which is 600 wen per month. However, because the craftsmen are controlled by officials and officers, it would be nice to have half of them that really fell into the hands of the craftsmen after their exploitation. Therefore, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty live a very hard life, dressed in tatters all day long, and they can't eat enough. Compared with the craftsmen and masters of Europe, they live like beggars.

Are all the craftsmen in Europe naughty? The first burgher class was made up of artisans. It was also these guys who united with the merchants, demanded power from the nobles, and participated in the rebellion......

Their income is already much higher than that of ordinary people, and they are particularly dissatisfied. In short, Du Te is an uncle. And the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, because of the cruel system, lived no different from slaves. A craftsman has a nominal salary of 600 wen per month, but it is good to get 300 wen in hand. And these 300 wen are often the living expenses of the artisan family, and the average family can only use 10 wen per day. Of course, if there is a father and son in the family who are both craftsmen, life will be much better. In addition, their wives are often grateful for the hard work of sewing and mending and washing people's clothes. Otherwise, the family will not survive.

In Europe, even the lowest-level young craftsmen can earn 3 pfennig a day after a seven-year apprenticeship. That's 90 pfennigh per month, which is equivalent to 1.5 gold coins, or 1.7 taels of silver. And for those veteran craftsmen, it is normal for the salary to be higher and doubled.

That is to say, in Europe, the poorest craftsmen also have a salary of more than 20 taels of silver a year, which is several times that of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, prices in Europe are also much higher than those in Daming. However, even so, the days of European craftsmen were much better than those of Ming Dynasty craftsmen. The main thing is that they have a high status. Moreover, the annual salary of 20 taels was only the salary of the lowest-ranking young craftsman. The wages of those powerful veteran craftsmen are even higher.

Ma Lin had no intention of giving the same salary to the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, if he set up a tannery in Hokkaido and introduced Ming craftsmen, he did not need to give more, and a monthly salary of 1 tael of silver was enough to make those Ming craftsmen happy. You know, it would be nice if they could get 300 wen a month. Give them 1 tael of silver a month, which is equivalent to more than three times the original income.

And Ma Lin is also happy, and if he uses Beihai country craftsmen, he will be given a minimum of 1.7 taels of silver per month. An old cobbler who has been working for a long time often has to give a few taels of silver a month......

One or two are okay, but the Hokkaido tannery has to be built into a large factory with thousands of craftsmen. If all European craftsmen are used, the salary expenditure alone will be several times more. And with Ming Dynasty craftsmen, even if it is a veteran leatherman, it will be heaven to give 1 tael of silver a month.

In addition, the Ishikari Plain in Hokkaido can also be used to develop large rice fields. Japanese rice varieties are used and are suitable for cultivation in cold regions.

Here, it is important to point out that the rice varieties of Tohoku in later generations were actually introduced to Tohoku by Koreans and Japanese. Initially, the fishermen and hunters of the Northeast did not farm at all. Even after the late Qing Dynasty broke into the eastern part of the country, most of the people who broke into the northeast were northerners, and it was popular to grow wheat, sorghum, soybeans and other crops in the northeast.

After the Japanese invasion of Korea in the 19th century, some Koreans fled to the northeast and brought with them the rice cultivation technology of Korea. However, the real large-scale cultivation of rice in Northeast China was during the Japanese occupation period, which was forcibly promoted by the Japanese colonizers. Even the song "On the Songhua River" sings "and the soybean sorghum all over the mountains", instead of rice fields everywhere......

As for why this is so, it is because indica rice was mainly cultivated in ancient China, and it was mainly concentrated in the southern region south of the Huai River, and wheat was mainly cultivated in the north.

In Japan and Korea, although rice was passed down from China, people mainly preferred rice cultivation and did not like pasta. Therefore, after thousands of years of cultivation, Japan and Korea cultivated cold-tolerant northern rice varieties. Then, when occupying the Tohoku, the Japanese were not accustomed to eating pasta, and the cultivation of Japanese varieties of japonica rice suitable for high latitudes was also forcibly promoted in the Tohoku, which led to the famous Tohoku rice in later generations.

To tell the truth, although the Japanese invaders were very not things. However, Tohoku rice does originate from Japan and was made by the Japanese in Tohoku.

Of course, in this era, Japanese rice varieties were not as good as those of later generations. However, it is still possible to find some excellent varieties. And, most importantly, in this era, only Japanese rice varieties are suitable for cultivation in the high-latitude Hokkaido region.

Therefore, Marin would send people to collect excellent rice varieties in Japan and carefully cultivate them in order to produce Tohoku rice for later generations. Then, it is transported to the mainland of the North Sea Country for your own enjoyment. To be honest, at present, Daming's indica rice and Indian indica rice are not soft and waxy enough, and the taste is a bit hard. In later generations, Ma Lin was accustomed to eating japonica rice, and he also preferred Northeast rice. Japanese rice is the origin of Tohoku rice, so Marin wanted to send people to search for good rice varieties in Japan and grow Tohoku rice with good taste in Hokkaido. It can be enjoyed not only by oneself, but also by the craftsmen and colonists of Hokkaido.

Marin even plans to introduce an ancient version of this Tohoku rice to the North American colony of New York if he can find an excellent Japanese rice variety. After all, New York is much closer to the mainland, and it is convenient to transport rice back to the mainland. If you want to transport rice from Hokkaido back to Hokkaido, you have to go around the globe for most of the world, which is too expensive......
