Ge Sheng immediately retreated, found a few old, prestigious, and thoughtful weavers, and got together to discuss—

According to Ji Qingwen's meaning, every seven days to do an extra half a day's work, that year to do an extra 52 days of work, the loss of silver is 52 taels; And the benefits provided by Ji Qingwen's weaving yamen can be worth two hundred taels of silver, to say the least.

Moreover, participating in such welfare, the elderly at home do not need to be taken care of, the children are taken care of, and even when they are sick, there is a special Langzhong treatment, which eliminates these worries, and the weaver can concentrate more on working, and the saved mind and energy do not know how much it can be worth.

These weavers were already clever, and they had been immersed in the commercial atmosphere of a big city like Suzhou for most of their lives, and they had long been cultivated as if they were fine, and they settled the account clearly after a little discussion.

After a while, Ge Sheng stepped forward and said to Ji Qingwen on behalf of the weaver: "The adults are kind, if the little ones don't appreciate it, it will be too ignorant." In this way, from tomorrow onwards...... Oh, no, from this afternoon, the villain will arrange for the weaver to come to work, so please do it. ”

Ji Qingwen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "That's the best, that's the best." In addition, those who are on duty here are also included in the yamen for lunch, so you don't have to run out to find food and waste rest time. ”

Ge Sheng listened, hurriedly thanked him a few more words, then said goodbye to Ji Qingwen, and led a few well-known weavers to discuss the weavers' shifts.

Today's major event was completed, Ji Qingwen was very happy in his heart, and when he saw the weavers leave, he smiled and said to Song Yingxing: "Song Xiaolian is very familiar with this place, I don't know if there are any famous restaurants in Suzhou City, how about we go and have a full meal?" ”

Song Yingxing said with a smile: "The number one in Suzhou City is Deyue Tower, just on Guanqian Street, Lord Ji has the intention, the student is the east, invite the adult to have a meal." However, the villain still has a reluctant request, and he asks the adult to agree. ”

Ji Qingwen hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Song Xiaolian, please speak directly. ”

Song Yingxing said: "That's the case, students have always been interested in mechanical things, and there are a few ideas for transforming looms, but there is no opportunity to experiment, and I don't know if it is easy to use." Therefore, I want to ask Master Ji to allocate me two looms, it doesn't hurt to be broken, let the students fiddle with them, maybe there will be some results! ”

In order to improve production efficiency, in addition to improving the enthusiasm of workers, it is necessary to improve production technology.

Ji Qingwen was a coder before he crossed over, and of course he knew the simplest economic principle, so he said without thinking about it: "What is the most dilapidated loom?" Song Xiaolian has such an idea, that's a good thing, you see that as long as there is something that can be seen in the weaving workshop, just call it. If it is broken, it will be repaired, and I will never pursue it. ”

Song Yingxing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him a few words.

Ji Qingwen said: "There is another sentence I said just now, I want to invite Song Xiaolian to the weaving yamen to do things." Although Song Xiaolian may not be able to look at such an errand as weaving the yamen, he can still receive an extra salary, and he is more tough when he speaks, isn't it? ”

Song Yingxing still had some concerns: "Don't hide it from Lord Ji, my Song family is also an official family, and there is a bit of floating wealth. The students think it's good to be like this now......"

Ji Qingwen said: "That's good, I never force others, Song Xiaolian thinks it's good, then it's good to maintain the status quo." But I put a sentence here, as long as I am in one day, the door of Suzhou Weaving Yamen has always been open to Song Xiaolian. ”

Although Song Yingxing was reluctant to officially join the Suzhou Weaving Yamen, he was a technical maniac, and he got along very speculatively with Ji Qingwen and Li Yan. In order to encourage Song Yingxing's work, Ji Qingwen also allocated special funds from the Yamen's treasury for his use.

After Song Yingxing's work, not only did the damaged looms in the weaving yamen be repaired, but also made a lot of improvements and improvements to the original looms. In this way, the color brocade produced by Suzhou weaving, which is already very exquisite, has a higher quality, which is more exquisite, and the production speed has also improved a lot.

On the other hand, Ji Qingwen entrusted Li Yan and Duo Jiugong with carte blanche to deal with the welfare of the weaving yamen, and he wrote a letter to his teacher Sun Chengzong with crooked brush characters, reporting the tension of the Suzhou affair in detail, and asking Sun Chengzong to come forward to ask the emperor to pardon Ge Sheng's father Ge Cheng from the prison cell.

Sun Chengzong has a wide network and a big face, and when he went to the Criminal Department to ask, he learned that Ge Cheng's case had dragged on for so many years, but in fact, he had not reported it at all, so he asked the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to wave his pen and ask the Suzhou prefect to clear up the backlog of cases.

Kou Shen, the prefect of Suzhou, is a person who understands, and after receiving the documents from the Criminal Department, the other prisoners were not interrogated, and the first one to release Ge Cheng, who had been in the prison for an unknown number of years.

Ge Chengnai was the leader of the weavers in Suzhou, and on the day he was released from prison, not only the craftsmen under the weaving yamen, but also weavers of other identities gathered in front of the prefect's yamen to set off firecrackers, dragon and lion dances, making the whole city of Suzhou feel like the New Year.

Ge Cheng regained his freedom, and naturally he was grateful to Ji Qingwen for coming forward to do things.

At this time, Song Yingxing also built the mausoleum of the five Suzhou righteous men who fought against the eunuchs in the sixth year of the Apocalypse in accordance with Ji Qingwen's previous instructions, and also asked the famous scholar Zhang Pu to write an article to commemorate it.

Ji Qingwen got the article and looked at it, it was really the "Tomb of the Five Tablet" that he had recited bitterly in later generations, and only after the "Magi Doctor, Jian Qing because of Wu Gong, Taishi Wen Qiwen Gong, Meng Chang Yao Gong" and others who were preparing to build the tomb of the five people, the words "weaving Admiral Ji Gongqingwen" were added, which can be regarded as making Ji Qingwen a celebrity through the ages.

After such a toss, the weavers under the weaving yamen, who originally had some doubts and reservations about Ji Qingwen, knew that the new weaving admiral was completely different from the previous ones, and they admired him. And the weavers sent to the weaving Yamen Welfare Workshop were all properly taken care of, and they were even more convinced by Ji Qingwen.

Through such an operation, the efficiency of the weaving yamen has been greatly improved from the hardware of the loom and the software of the weaver.

Originally, according to Ji Qingwen's plan, as long as the output of silk was increased by one-seventh compared with last year, it would be able to raise more than 200,000 taels of silver, and in addition to being able to pay to Emperor Chongzhen, he could also earn an extra 10,000 taels of silver.

But now the output has increased by a quarter, and more than 2,000 pieces of silk can be produced in a year, excluding the part of the tribute, which is more than 1,200 horses, and can earn 250,000 taels of silver when sold on the market, and after handing over 200,000 taels to Emperor Chongzhen, there will be an extra 50,000 taels of snowflake silver.

This account made Ji Qingwen's heart bloom.

You must know that their Ji family has been operating in Shaanxi for so long, and their annual income is only 20,000 taels of silver. He was only a year old in Suzhou weaving, and he could earn 50,000 taels of silver a year, and it seems that the old saying is still reliable - "Promoted to get rich, only by being promoted can you get rich".

Seeing that he was about to sit firmly in the second generation of the rich second generation, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life, he didn't expect that reality poured cold water on Ji Qingwen's head!

He weaved hundreds of colored brocades produced in the yamen, and put them in the yamen's treasury for half a year, and he couldn't sell a single one!

It turned out that all the silk originally produced by Suzhou Weaving was to pay tribute to the emperor, and would not be openly sold in the market, so naturally there was no open sales channel.

Originally, the former weaving admiral Guo Jing would sell the extra silk produced privately to get some benefits. But this Guo Jing has been reprimanded by Ji Qingwen, and the channels in his hands have naturally been taken away by him.

Although Ji Qingwen is a son of a businessman, his base camp is in Shaanxi, and Shaanxi businessmen have no power in Jiangnan, Nanzhili, and Suzhou.

In desperation, Ji Qingwen could only let Song Yingxing, Ge Cheng and Ge Sheng, who were familiar with the local market in Suzhou, sell around.

But to their surprise, although the craftsmanship level of these satins in their hands is also outstanding in Suzhou, no one is willing to buy them, which is really confusing.
