Li Zhi was very satisfied with Zheng Kaicheng's words, and did not call Zheng Kaicheng his cousin, but called Kaicheng: "Kaicheng, you have a lot of management experience!" ”

"It's not as far-sighted as the owner!"

Seeing Zheng Kaicheng praising himself, Li Zhi became interested, squinted his eyes with a smile and asked, "How can I be far-sighted?" ”

Zheng Kaicheng saw Li Zhi asking, licked his lips and said: "The owner asked me to say, don't be angry if I don't say it's good."

Li Zhi said lightly: "You say it boldly, I don't blame you for saying it wrong!" ”

Zheng Kaicheng nodded at this time, and said Kankan: "In my opinion, the textile machine made by the owner is very efficient and profitable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If the owner is not far-sighted and blindly expands, then the cotton cloth production will hit the market, and it will make the small people who weave and spin near Tianjin have a hard time. ”

Zheng Kaicheng is actually very right, the Ming Dynasty is still a natural economy of male farmers and women weaving, if Li Zhi makes every effort to expand the weaving factory, the profit will indeed increase in a straight line, but it will smash the jobs of women who weave and spin at home under the natural economy, which will not only make these people fall into poverty, but also cause political problems.

Zheng Kaicheng said: "The owner is not in a hurry to expand the weaving mill, but to develop upstream to establish a spinning mill, which avoids a direct impact on the market price. Spinning and weaving are done in their own factories, which makes the profits of those cotton yarn dealers. After all, these businessmen are a minority, and they are all accustomed to competition and risk, and it will not affect their profits if they are made by the owners. ”

What Zheng Kaicheng said was indeed what Li Zhi thought. Li Zhi did not want to impact the natural economy at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so he cautiously expanded the scale of the textile factory.

When Li Zhi heard Zheng Kaicheng's words, he nodded and said, "Stand tall and see far, Kaicheng is worthy of being a person who has read books." ”

Hearing Li Zhi's compliment, Zheng Kaicheng touched the back of his head, a little embarrassed.

After a pause, Li Zhi said: "Kaicheng, it's a bit condescending to let you be a manager, I'll let you be the head of the soap workshop, how about it?" ”

Zheng Kaicheng was stunned and asked, "What does the owner mean is to give me the management of the entire soap workshop?" ”

"That's right! I'll give you eight taels of silver a month to manage the entire soap workshop! ”

Zheng Kaicheng is a young man after all, and he is very excited to be so reused by Li Zhi, and he said with his eyebrows fluttering: "That's great!" I'm willing to do it! ”

Li Zhi smiled and said lightly: "Tomorrow you will go to the soap workshop with me!" After Li Xing came to the textile factory, there was no manager there for several days! ”

The cotton yarn made with Jenny spinning machines is very dense and evenly proportioned, and it was immediately praised as soon as it was launched on the market.

Feng Zishan, the boss of the Feng family in the pen and ink alley in the north of Tianjin, is a child. Although he has a child's fame, this fame is not as good as Xiucai, and it is not valuable, and his family is still very poor. On this day, a guest came to his house, and the guest was also a scholar, Zeng Zuoze, who was admitted to Tong Sheng in the same period as Feng Zishan.

Feng Zishan waited for Zeng Zuoze in the shop at home, and at first glance saw Zeng Zuoze's new cyan round-necked robe. I don't know where the cotton cloth was made of the robe, and the fabric was very light and symmetrical - the common cotton cloth on the market was inevitably some uneven warp and weft, some cotton yarn was coarse, some cotton yarn was fine, and what seemed to be thick was gathered into knots. But the robe on Zeng Zuoze's body has no such problems, and the top and bottom of the body are evenly proportioned.

The cotton cloth on the market, no matter where it is produced, does not have such a good workmanship. I don't know how to eliminate the fine selection of cotton yarn when weaving, so as to make such a good cloth. Compared with such cotton cloth, the general cotton cloth on the market is very coarse. Feng Zishan secretly said where Zeng Zuoze bought such cotton cloth, and he didn't know how much money he spent to make this dress?

That Zeng Zuoze originally had an average appearance, but wearing such a decent cotton round neck, he showed some exquisite temperament, showing the dignity of a scholar. Zeng Zuoze's family is engaged in bronze trading, and he is a little richer, Feng Zishan secretly said that it is good to be rich, and he can buy decent robes like cotton cloth.

Seeing Feng Zishan, Zeng Zuoze saluted and sang: "Brother Feng, don't come to harm!" ”

Taking the bag of tea handed over by Zeng Zuoze, Feng Zishan waved his hand and said, "Brother Xian is polite, please in the house!" ”

The two entered the hall and sat down separately. Feng Zishan brewed the prepared tea and served it, and began to chat with Zeng Zuoze. What the readers talked about was nothing more than the romances of other people who were admitted to the government examination in the same period, their recent experience in writing eight strands, and their preparation for the next children's examination. When chatting, Zeng Zuoze's round neck with fine warp and weft was very conspicuous, which added a bit of exquisite temperament to his little boy, which made Feng Zishan very envious.

Seeing Feng Zishan staring at his cotton round neck from time to time, Zeng Zuoze smiled. After being silent for a while, he asked, "Brother Feng, what does you think of my cotton round neck?" ”

Hearing Zeng Zuoze's inquiry, Feng Zishan realized that he was always staring at the other party's new clothes, and he was a little out of shape. After a pause, Feng Zishan said embarrassedly: "The new round collar of the virtuous brother is well-proportioned and very decent, which really adds a bit of charm to the virtuous brother." ”

Zeng Zuoze laughed when he heard Feng Zishan's praise, and then said: "Don't hide it from Brother Xian, you are the sixth person to say this." People say that wearing this new dress makes me look like a scholar! ”

Feng Zishan nodded and said, "This dress is indeed very decent. It's a lot of money, isn't it? ”

Hearing Feng Zishan's words, Zeng Zuoze mysteriously stretched out a finger and shook it.

Feng Zishan asked anxiously, "How?" ”

"This round neck is not expensive at all!"

Feng Zishan was taken aback, and said curiously: "Brother Xian, this new dress is delicate and well-proportioned, and the fabric used must not be ordinary, how can it not be expensive." As far as the foolish brother knows, there is no cotton cloth in the north and south of the world that can be so exquisite. To make such cotton cloth, it is necessary to carefully select cotton yarn, and select the fine yarn of the same thickness to weave into cloth, so as to have such an effect. The foolish brother guessed that only the big weaving workshop in Songjiang Mansion would produce such fine cotton cloth, which would inevitably be expensive. ”

Zeng Zuoze laughed and said, "Brother Feng guessed wrong, this cotton cloth is locally produced in Tianjin!" ”

"Locally-made?"

"It's the Li Jiajing cloth bought by Dongjiabuzhuang. Other cotton cloth sells for one or two horses, and this Li Jiajing cloth also sells for one or two horses. ”

Hearing Zeng Zuoze's words, Feng Zishan said: "I didn't expect that I also have such an exquisite weaving workshop in Tianjin, making such fine cloth." It's just that he has to select cotton yarn to make such cotton cloth, how can it be sold so cheaply? ”
