Since the "price war" with Ji Qingwen, eighty percent of the weaving mills in Suzhou have been closed, and thousands of unemployed weavers have been unemployed, many of whom have worked for the owners of these weaving mills for a few days.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when there was no "Labor Contract Law" and "Enterprise Bankruptcy Law", these weaving workshop owners, although they usually shouted at each other, but when they encountered this kind of thing, they were out-and-out vulnerable groups in the face of many powerful weavers, and they were really frightened by so many gathered weavers.

These people discussed for a while, and as usual, the golden fat man came out and said to the prefect Kou Shen: "Lord Kou, you are always the parent official of our Suzhou people, although we businessmen have a bad reputation, but we are also good citizens who pay taxes according to the rules, my lord, you can guarantee our safety today!" ”

This is Kou Shen's duty, he is naturally duty-bound, and immediately patted his chest and agreed: "That's natural, Suzhou is also the hometown of education, and most of the weavers are reasonable, presumably knowing that Lord Ji is about to buy the weaving mill under the name of Er and others, it will naturally disperse." ”

Kou Shen is worthy of being an old bureaucrat who has been drifting in the sea for decades, and with a light and clever kick, he kicked this hot potato in front of Ji Qingwen.

Ji Qingwen is not a vegetarian either, and immediately said in a big way: "Yes, after I buy the weaving workshops under the names of the merchants, I still have to hire these weavers as usual, so that they can rest assured......

When the fat golden man heard this, he must have said in his heart: "With Lord Ji's words, the villains will be at ease, but we businessmen can't just hear this, and please trouble Lord Ji to walk a few more steps and talk to the weavers outside the door." ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, his eyes rolled, and he discussed a few words with Li Yan, who was standing behind him, thinking that this was a good opportunity to establish his authority, and to see which guy in the White Lotus Sect came forward to instigate the weaver to make trouble.

So, Ji Qingwen agreed again: "Yes, you don't have to bother Governor Kou, this matter will be settled by this official." ”

was proud for a while, so that Ji Qingwen used the modern word "leveling", and everyone present was stunned.

But now they have a request for Ji Qingwen, and naturally they will not bother with these details, only to see that the complacent Suzhou weaving admiral drank the half-cold tea in front of him, slowly got up and turned his head to say a few words to Li Yuanyin beside him, and then walked towards the outside of the prefect's yamen.

Li Yuanyin listened to Ji Qingwen's instructions, turned around and walked to the backyard of the prefect's yamen - he was Ji Qingwen's confidant and a senior general in the Jinyi Guard, and he was in and out of the Suzhou prefect's yamen wantonly, and no one dared to come forward to stop him.

Ji Qingwen, accompanied by Li Yan, walked unhurriedly outside the prefect's yamen.

Knowing that Kou was cautious and careful, but fearing that the situation would get out of control, these weavers would openly beat and hurt Ji Qingwen, so he hurriedly beckoned the officials in the prefect's yamen and immediately went out to line up, although he could not immediately disperse so many gathered weavers, but at least he could cheer for Ji Qingwen's platform.

Ji Qingwen walked to the door surrounded by these officials, but saw that the door of the prefect's yamen was tightly closed, and there was really a bustling noise outside the door—it should be the weavers in Kou Shen's mouth.

So, Ji Qingwen ordered loudly: "Open the door, this official must talk to the weavers." ”

The old man who was guarding the door in the prefect's yamen didn't know the inside story, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and persuaded: "Lord Ji, these weavers are very powerful. I remember that it was the fifteenth year of Wanli...... There are also six years of the Apocalypse...... At that time......"

This old man who guards the door can be regarded as a senior yamen caretaker, and he has also seen some of the world.

Seeing that the old man was about to recall the past, Ji Qingwen hurriedly stopped: "Okay, you just open the door for me, it's not your turn to take care of other things." ”

"Alas! If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. The old man scolded in his heart, but he still shook his head and opened the two red wooden doors of the prefect's yamen.

Seeing that the gate of the prefect's yamen was opened, the weavers gathered outside the door suddenly quieted down, and they all looked inside the door to see what kind of characters came out of the gate.

When they saw that the person who walked out was neither the prefect Kou Shen nor the owner of the weaving workshop, but the weaving admiral Ji Qingwen, they all felt strange, and immediately someone asked in a loud voice: "Lord Ji, I am here to find trouble with the owner of the weaving workshop, what are you doing here?" ”

"Calm down, I have a few things to say." Ji Qingwen replied.

Ji Qingwen has been operating in Suzhou for so two years, he has always been generous, and he has done a few good things for the people of Suzhou, so it is quite prestigious, the weavers heard him speak and immediately lowered their voices, and listened to him continue: "Let me tell you a good news, the official has reached an agreement with the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the weaving workshop under their name will be acquired by me in a short time......"

When the weavers heard him say this, they immediately burst out with an exclamation of "oh", and asked in a loud voice: "Lord Ji, if you buy the weaving mill, will you continue to hire us?" ”

Ji Qingwen was waiting for this question, so he immediately asked: "Although Song Yingxing, the filial piety prince who follows the official, is a rare skilled craftsman, but the loom he weaves will not automatically spin and weave cloth, and he will not hire you, is it because the official wants to invite the Vega Star in the sky?" ”

The weavers were amused by his words, and immediately burst into laughter.

Ji Qingwen waited for everyone's laughter to gradually subside, and Fang said: "However, after the official acquires the weaving workshop, he will not continue to work piecemeal, but will break up and form a large weaving workshop. ”

It's called "Ugly Stories Ahead".

But since it is an "ugly story", naturally few people like to listen to it - these weavers listened to Ji Qingwen's request, and couldn't help but beat a drum in their hearts: "Rules? What exactly are the rules? ”

Ji Qingwen had already guessed the thoughts in the hearts of the weavers, and said loudly: "Since it is a big weaving workshop, the things produced cannot be uneven. Therefore, the official should divide all the weavers into several classes according to their skill - those who are strong in craftsmanship will naturally have a higher income; Those with poor craftsmanship will naturally have low income. That's my rule. ”

Before he finished speaking, a weaver asked: "Lord Ji, I heard that the craftsmen and weavers under the weaving yamen can earn a hundred taels of silver a month, I don't know if we can get so much money if we are strong in craftsmanship?" ”

Suzhou weaving yamen is the foundation of Ji Qingwen's foothold, and it is his basic plate, so it is natural to treat it differently.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen also said first, and said: "Everyone, the weavers who weave the yamen, watched the official come to Suzhou with his bare hands, and developed little by little. To tell the truth, these weavers are considered benefactors below, and they naturally want to repay their kindness. Therefore, please don't compare with them, but as long as your skills go up, your monthly income will naturally rise, and please believe in this. ”

As soon as these words came out, the weavers whispered again, after all, they didn't see real money, even if it was Ji Qingwen, it could only be regarded as an increasingly worthless "treasure banknote".

At this time, I heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Don't believe this man's lies, there is no good person in office!" ”

The reason why Ji Qingwen got involved in this matter that had little to do with him was to announce his policy to the weavers in public, and on the other hand, to find out which backbone of the White Lotus Sect was inciting trouble.

And now this person who dares to challenge Ji Qingwen is a White Lotus Sect nine times out of ten.

So Ji Qingwen sneered and said, "Which brother said that just now?" Please step forward, and the official will give you a trustworthy reason! ”

Of course, no one would admit it, and the weavers' crowd immediately fell silent.

But this cold silence didn't last long, and it was broken by a person's words: "It's this person, and that sentence was said by this person." Lord Ji, below is the Jinyi Guard under Commander Li, and it is this person who is speaking. ”

"Oh? Arrest this man for me! Ji Qingwen ordered without hesitation.
