Chapter 283 Return to Chang'an City
Since Li Zhi apprenticed in jade carving, he has not had a mobile phone meeting, and his trip to Lishan has brought him rich jade resources, which he did not expect.
The words of the old ancestor instantly catalyzed the initial decision in his heart into actual motivation, and the ancient carving technique of the Tan family was spread because of this, and the precious stone quality was also the key.
Jade has always been regarded as a treasure, in ancient China, it was also regarded as a symbol of good character and gentlemanly demeanor, no matter how great the cultural and historical experience is, the national feelings of worshipping jade and loving jade are still deep-rooted, and the art of jade carving is endless.
This is also one of the most direct ways to make the brand effect of Zhengqing Wenqitang enjoy a high reputation in Datang and even the world through the charm of traditional handicrafts and unparalleled artistic value.
Seeing the decisive response in Li Zhi's eyes, the old ancestor was very happy that his opinion could be adopted.
With her 100 years of life experience, she knows that jade treasures and divine products with both god and form are spiritual and vigorous, and the combination of art and jade has become a treasure from the beauty of appearance to a deep shock.
The jade that penetrates into the heart and lungs and touches the soul of mankind is a true collection of wisdom of oriental civilization, and it is a guarantee that unlimited wealth can be obtained for a long time.
Leaving Tonglin County, it was almost noon on the second day, and Lao Wutou sent more than 50 horse-drawn carriages, which needed to be counted and loaded one by one.
The king of Linhuai County, Guan Ming and his entourage also ended the investigation of the county government and left with most of them.
Xian Feng hurried back last night, which shows that he is eager to improve his realm, but he doesn't know it, because this short exchange with Li has made him and Maoshan become a pivotal top force in the entire worldly Daomen, and they have survived the changes of several dynasties and stood tall.
And Li Zhi's first apprentice also came from Tonglin County, the five major sects in the county, and the five ancestral sects, the oldest sects in the depths of the Qinling Mountains behind them, so they became the most important hidden force on Li Zhi's future development path.
Back in Chang'an City, the ancestor naturally followed the Sun family back to the Eastern Mountains, and Sima Chengzhen also followed him up the mountain.
The King of Linhuai County, Guan Ming and others rushed back to their respective offices, and the next period of time was their busiest time.
Li Zhi took two full trucks of jade and rushed directly to the vault on the side of Xingqing Palace, where these immeasurable valuables were the safest place to store them.
When Master Tan saw countless jade and diamonds, he naturally burst into tears, and he could not care about their true value, but he could not avoid his lifelong dedication and obsession with jade carving, and his confusion and surprise caused by the shock.
To appease the old man's mood was a little slow, except for Chang Yubo, who was temporarily lodged here, but he saw here that the third uncle Rong Hongran, who had officially settled in, and the fourth uncle Gu Moran.
Sun Simiao, who originally stayed and waited to see him, unexpectedly rushed back due to an urgent matter, but before leaving, he asked that he would come before Li Zhi's wedding.
Just like Rong Hongran, the fourth uncle Gu Moran also successfully entered the early stage of breaking off the relationship after three days of retreat, and since then there has been another grandmaster-level figure in the secular world.
Although the two of them and Li Zhi saw each other very happily, they also knew that he had a business to take care of, and he had just returned, so it was not the time to elaborate on his heart.
However, to Li Zhi's deep gratification, the two old men were actually fascinated by jade carving, and in just a few hours of contact, they had a lot of personality preferences in common with Master Tan.
And Rong Hongran also suggested that the two of them were really bored to hide here, learn some jade carving every day, and declared that the jade carving master of the Zhengqing Wenqitang Jade Workshop would be an excellent place to hide their identities, and let the two of them have something to do from now on.
Master Tan also explained with a smile on the side, as soon as these two people got started, they had already shown a huge advantage in this aspect of the innate conditions, the grandmaster level is a land fairy-like figure, picking up the jade knife, the same has the same eyes and hands that ordinary people can't reach, the slightest insight, and the steady state of mind as a rock.
Of course, Li Zhi was overjoyed, but it was far from enough for two more people to carve jade, but fortunately, Master Tan proposed it and tried to contact several of his apprentices, and it would be an unexpected surprise to bring one of them.
took Chang Yubo and came to the Zhengqing Wenqitang store that had left for seven days, Princess Yiyi and Pang Sheng'er still stayed in the store to guard.
In the courtyard outside, the people in the Xuanwang Mansion and the Ming Wangfu were also guarding every day, and Li Ling and Li Cheng were drinking tea under the trees in the backyard.
Seeing Li Yi and his party, the two immediately came forward to report the details.
"The Three Kings Jingwang Mansion is the most frequent, and people are sent to inquire about your news almost every day. In addition, there are people in Wu Sansi's mansion, who have appeared twice, including the Xue family and the people sent by the prince in the palace. ”
Li Ling is the one of the two of them who has been staying here, and in the case of the old Ming King Li Tong or Li Cheng not appearing, the personnel of the two governments will be uniformly deployed by him, so he first talked about the situation in a few days.
After some understanding, Li Cheng also mentioned the opinion of the Ming Palace's on this matter: "My father, on behalf of Dali Temple, has clearly expressed his intention to strictly investigate to the relevant departments of the imperial court. But you should also listen to Lord Junwang, Wu Sansi has made a big concession there, and almost all the investigation departments are currently waiting for you to come back, and make the final judgment with your final opinion! ”
Li Zhi nodded, "Let's talk about these things later, I just came back, and I will negotiate with them again after stabilizing my mind." These are some scattered diamonds, go back to the sisters-in-law, and contact each other! ”
The rarity of those diamonds is exquisite, transparent, and their rarity is self-evident, and they are given in an unpolished state, which shows the sincerity of his return.
also knew that Li Zhi had just returned, and there would be busy affairs in the store, and the two of them also called for the people in the house to evacuate.
On the third floor, the three daughters were talking with Princess Yiyi and Pang Sheng'er, and the same few diamonds made the two complaining smiles.
"During the period of time we left, the business was still strong, but most of them were ten-color notes and clothing customization business, and there were at least 10,000 taels of sales every day, but the inventory of the notes was running out, and there was another tomorrow, I was afraid that it would be out of stock!"
Qingqi explained the business situation clearly in a few words.
"Because of the launch of the products of the four cashmere factories, the sales of our cashmere clothes have declined significantly, except for some old customers, there are almost few new customers, and it is reported that they have gone to the three stores opened by Mi Qin."
Princess Yiyi added.
"This is to be expected, and the fact that the weather is getting colder and our ready-to-wear category is relatively monotonous, which is also the reason for the loss of customers. At present, I have brought back a large number of high-quality cashmere, since today the existing cashmere material is officially discontinued, new products on the market, the original one or two silver clothes have gradually disappeared, two taels of silver will be the future Zhengqing Wenqitang cashmere group low price. ”
Li Zhi's words made Pang Sheng'er speechless, "Brother Zhengwen, you are really ruthless, you will double the price at once, and you are not afraid that the cashmere clothing in the store will not be sold?" As far as I know, within five days, there will be at least a dozen of the same products on the market, and in the future, with the competition between clothing manufacturers, I am afraid that the price of cashmere clothing will fall all the way, and it is very likely to fall to a few hundred copper coins! ”
"Sheng'er, in the future, Zhengqing Wenqitang will only focus on the sales of high-end goods, and when the fur clothing leaves the factory, it may be five or six taels of silver to start, and then this layer will be opened up into a jade monopoly, and it is inevitable to sell hundreds of taels or two!"
Yu Ran's words were amazing, and Pang Sheng'er was even more shocked.
Li Zhi turned to Chang Yubo: "I will send a few soldiers to follow you for a while, and then I will go back to start the assembly line operation of our paper mill, and all rice paper will not be sold for the time being, only focusing on ten-color notes!" ”
"I know this, I'll go back right away! It's just that there is one thing that needs to be discussed with Mr. Li, and that is, that..."
Chang Yubo's rather embarrassing request was about the villager of Liujian Village who bought the Jingwang Mansion, and during this time, people from that family kept coming to the store to look for him.
Of course, the store would not indicate Chang Yubo's whereabouts, so those family members begged bitterly, and even knelt down to beg.
Although he himself is not from Liujian Village, he has been there for decades and still has a lot of affection for the locals.
This kind of thing is really difficult to speak, even if Chang Yubo has the heart to help, he must first consider Li Yifang, after all, there is a lot of luck in the resolution of this crisis.
Once those people succeed in their plot, not to mention the huge loss of business, it is also obvious that they will put their lives at risk to themselves.
Li Zhi understood Chang Yubo's feelings in his heart, sighed deeply, and felt shocked by Chang Yubo's kindness in his heart.
"In this way, I will find someone to bring that person up, but this person is no longer suitable to work in our factory, but only himself, as long as his family is not involved, he will not be implicated, wait for a period of observation, see that he does have remorse!"
"Mr. Li rest assured, my kindness will only have this once, go back and have a good exchange with the entire Liujian Village, and if there is a similar situation, you can't blame the factory for being ruthless and unjust! They can't afford it either! ”
patted Chang Yubo on the shoulder, "Tell me about our inferior papyrus!" ”
"The king of Linhuai County went to Lishan on the second day, the all-round crackdown began, there is a general manager every day to help me pass the news, overnight, hundreds of tons of straw paper inventory will be all sent out, the various stakeholders sent out cars and horses, but also rushed to various places before dawn, and in the morning officially hit the paper market. In just one day's work, there were several paper mills that came to the door of the local yamen, and those with very deep roots were also found by the officers and soldiers who arrived in Chang'an City the next day! At present, everything is being realized step by step according to our plan, and maybe in three or two days, this matter will have a final result! ”
"Chang Yubo, remember that there is a factory to receive, and send that Chang Kun Chang Baocan over as soon as possible, is this person still staying in Liujian Village?"
"There was a time when the man was shaken and had the intention of leaving. I've already arranged for someone to keep an eye on him, and someone will come the next day to report it. At this time, he has completely relieved his mind and has been staying at his residence waiting for me to go back! ”
"This person will be the core of our next plan, and there is a bigger layout around him! Keep in mind the safety of the process formula, as long as he goes to the field, you don't have to worry about it anymore, everything is with me. ”
Sent away Chang Yubo, Li Zhi had the opportunity to go to each floor to have a look, Liu Feng'e and Aunt Fang Lin on the second floor, were obviously very excited when they learned that a batch of furs and cashmere had arrived.
"Mr. Li, we are going to take the high-end quality path of Zhengqing Wenqitang, take me as an example, although the source of customers has decreased significantly in recent times, but many old customers have customized more. Many people say that they need higher quality products, and it is no wonder that these rich people, our cashmere clothes have quickly become a common color, and there have been imitations of different quality in the market, which seem to be no different from our style from a distance! ”
Liu Feng'e kept chattering in her mouth, and Aunt Fang Lin on the side fanned the flames:
"These people are not simple people, most of them don't care about expenses at all, they only pursue one thing, that is, they wear to show their identity and quality!"
Li Zhi explained in detail, "In the future, our cashmere clothing will be produced in limited quantities, and three or five hundred pieces of a pattern and style will be temporarily sealed, and the cashmere from Ningxia Tan will be several times higher than the quality of the raw materials used at this time, and the cashmere clothes woven will only be more intimate and warm, and they will be satisfied." ”
"Tan sheep two fur is more expensive, and its style and output control must be stricter!" Aunt Fang Lin reminded.
