Everyone in the family knows that everything that the Zhou family has now, including reputation, is obtained by Zhou Zhi alone. They have long been convinced of Zhou Zhi and believe that everything Zhou Zhi does is justified and right.

Father Zhou Tie and mother Zhou He said with a smile, "In this way, Xiaozhi is going to make a big deal, hehe!" My Zhou family is now second to none in Baiyue Village, and I want my Zhou family to do textile trading, thinking that my Zhou family will definitely get richer and richer, and my Zhou family is really going to shine! ”

They are very optimistic and very supportive of Zhou Zhi.

But then the two thought of something, and the mother Zhou He frowned and asked, "Xiaozhi wants to do textile things, in the eyes of his mother, this is a lot of energy!" Xiao Zhi has just been admitted to Xiucai now, isn't this study going to give up halfway? ”

Daddy Zhou Tie also followed and said, "Yes, Xiaozhi is the material for reading, you can't give up halfway, it's good to do textile to make things bigger, but you can't delay your studies because of this!" That's more than worth the cost.

According to my father's opinion, it's better not to do this textile, our Zhou family is now operating vermicelli, although it doesn't make much money, but it is steady and steady, which is enough for family expenses. Xiaozhi still has to devote himself to studying, and it is only right that he has been admitted to the Jinshi and become an official. ”

Zhou Zhi smiled slightly, focused his eyes on his brother-in-law Hu Zhe, and said, "This textile business is naturally not much to be managed, my father and mother are right, Xiaozhi still has to study and test his fame." Xiaozhi had already thought about this matter, and it fell on his brother-in-law. ”

In fact, when Hu Zhe heard Zhou Zhi talk about the Zhou family's textile work, he thought of himself. However, Ho Chul knew that there was a lot at stake, yes, it was a few thousand taels of silver at once, and such a big thing fell on him, and Ho Chu was really scared, thinking that he didn't have that ability.

You must know that although his family used to open a silk and cotton shop in Gaochang Town, it was just a small shop.

Hu Zhe immediately said, "Xiao Zhi may look up to me, I'm afraid that I don't have that ability, and I can't do such a big thing as a textile workshop." ”

"Huh! Brother-in-law doesn't need to be polite, if you can do it, you can do it! Xiao Zhi has always known that his brother-in-law has big ambitions and wants to do some big business. This textile matter is handed over to the brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law is very relieved, and the brother-in-law should not look forward and backward, and do not shirk! Although Zhou Zhi was smiling and talking, he was very solemn.

Hochul's face was still hesitant.

His sister Zhou Luyun beside him said, "Since Xiao Zhi said so, then let your brother-in-law try to do it." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, men were the head of the family, but it was not uncommon for women to be in charge of the family. At present, Hu Zhe and Zhou Luyun are husband and wife, isn't this Zhou Luyun in charge?

It is no wonder that although Hochul is scheming, smart, and business-minded, he is loyal and honest, and sometimes he is really the weak character of some women. But Zhou Luyun is sometimes very bold and bold, and has some men's personalities. The husband and wife seem to complement each other a little, and they can achieve great things.

Hu Zhe blushed and said, "If that's the case, then I'll do my best, but in big things, it's still small to make the decision." ”

That's where Hochul comes in.

Although they are a family, Hu Zhe knows very well that he is a son-in-law after all, this textile workshop belongs to the Zhou family, and he is doing things for the Zhou family, so he must correct his position at this time.

Zhou Zhi nodded slightly.

Then Zhou Zhi made some arrangements.

The family's current mansion is under construction, so let Daddy Zhou Tie preside over it. Daddy Zhou Tie already has a detailed plan, and he can naturally build the Zhou family's new house in the future impeccable.

The textile workshop was simply built on the eight acres of land of the Zhou family. Now that they see the wheat harvest season, after the wheat harvest, the Zhou family will no longer farm. Zhou Zhi then drew a drawing, and built a workshop and warehouse according to the drawings in those eight acres of fields.

Zhou Zhi's Sun family in Gaoyang County had already seen it very clearly, and the Zhou family's textile workshop was built after the Sun family.

Of course, Zhou Zhi will naturally make some reasonable changes according to actual needs.

The wheat harvest and the construction of the textile workshop were all left to his brother-in-law Hochul. As for the time, the sooner the better.

What needs to be done now is to transport the sixty looms of the Sun family to be placed as soon as possible. As for the weavers, Zhou Zhi had already heard that there were actually many weavers in Gaoyang County, especially after the fall of the Sun family, many of their weavers had not yet found a new employer. The Zhou family just invited them over to hire them.

As for repairing and maintaining the loom, the five old craftsmen of the Sun family, who are highly skilled and have nowhere to go, can be invited over.

In this way, it seems that it is not very difficult to open a textile workshop. But the sale of textile products is really difficult.

It was because of their dealings with the imperial court that the Sun family was defeated overnight and lost everything. The Zhou family naturally can't follow the old path of the Sun family now. Besides, they just want to follow the path of the Sun family, and the Zhou family doesn't have that way now. Getting involved with the big eunuchs in the court is not something ordinary people can do.

Besides, Emperor Hongzhi opened three weaving bureaus in Jiangnan at once, and the fabrics they produced were able to supply the needs of the imperial court, where would they use the fabrics produced in the textile workshops of the people?

Therefore, Zhou Zhi decided that the sales of fabrics must be among the people of Daming for the time being. Although the people are still living in poverty, they naturally use very few fabrics. But the average wealthy family, the rich family, needs a lot of fabrics. In the entire market in the north, there seems to be no other place except for the fabrics produced in Gaoyang County. In this way, there is still a lot of market in the north.

Moreover, although the textile in the southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is very developed, the demand for fabrics is also very large, and Zhou Zhi feels that the Zhou family's textile workshop is on the right track in the future, and it can also hit the idea of the south.

Of course, it's all competitive.

There is no competition and there is no motivation, and only with motivation can Zhou's textile develop as soon as possible, and even promote the development of the entire Ming textile industry.

The operation and sales of fabrics will naturally be handed over to Hochul, which is the battlefield to test Hochul and let Hochul display his talents.

Zhou Zhi made the overall plan, and after arranging these one by one, he put the textile workshop aside for the time being.

It was late, the family had dinner, Zhou Zhi lay down in the shack, and rested all night.

On the second day, the sky was slightly bright, so he took Qi Yanwu and hired a carriage to go straight to Kou's house in Tang County.
