Seeing the machines in the spinning workshop, all the shopkeepers couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, and even a few of them turned the spinning machine to see how it worked. I thought that when I went back, I would learn to build it.

"However, it is best to stay in Longxi for the spinning workshop in your family, after all, Xihe Road is few people, it is remote, and it is heavily guarded, so it is not easy for outsiders to mix. In Qinzhou, it is not necessarily. If the people of Kanto learn the mysteries, none of us can compete with them. ”

"You don't need Shopkeeper Feng to remind me, I don't understand!" Cheng Xuan and others spoke in unison. In order to protect their own interests, no one will be stupid.

Feng Congyi was right. If the workshop stays in Xihe Road, it is not easy for the news of the improvement of the textile machinery to get out, and when it reaches the ears of the southern weavers, they will send people to inquire about the news, and they don't know how long it will take. If it is placed in Qinzhou, an important town in the northwest, the speed of news dissemination is ten times that of Longxi. I don't know which day, it's all going to be learned.

After using the new textile machine, the cost of cotton yarn is greatly reduced, and who will make too much money in hand? The extra money paid in the cotton field before has been made up here.

Seeing the joy in Cheng Xuan's eyes, Feng Congyi knew that this time was a success. The efficiency of the Hanjia Spinning Workshop can't hide from people, as long as you have the heart to explore, you can find out sooner or later, and it is not a difficult machine to build, you can learn to walk with a few more glances, it is better to take it out as soon as possible.

It's just that keeping it secret for an extra year is tens of thousands of incomes, how many people can let it go? Han Gang didn't take it seriously and threw it away, this open-mindedness and vision made Feng Congyi admire it a lot.

Cheng Xuan also walked over, thinking about Feng Congyi, and said: "Han Taichang's mind is beyond the reach of the world, and I am really impressed. ”

Han Gang's reputation is so great, and his accumulated merits are even more amazing, no one will regard him as a fool who doesn't know how to breed. With such a big benefit, it is really convincing to let it go.

Seeing the businessmen who came over to convey their admiration to their cousins on their behalf, Feng Congyi was even more confident in the Han family, SF Express, Han Gang himself, and their future.

……………………

When Feng Congyi came back, Han Gang was looking at Zhang Zai's letter.

When Han Gang came back from Beijing, he didn't forget to visit Ercheng and Zhang Zai. Although the fact that he became Wang Anshi's son-in-law, it did make them not like it very much. But after the news spread that he recommended the Guan and Luo families to join the Jingyi Bureau to participate in the Xinyi of the Jingyi, the knot left by this marriage to Zhang Zai and Ercheng disappeared.

As for the theory deduced by Han Gang through experiments, when he came back that day, he passed through Hengqu Town, and had already discussed it with Zhang Zai for three whole days. Now it's another correspondence, it's no longer Han Gang, and even Zhang Zai has the heart to completely integrate Qi science and Han Gang's theory.

Seeing his cousin come back, Han Gang put away the letter. Let Feng Congyi sit down and say, "It's hard work today." ”

"It's not hard." Feng Congyi shook his head and said, "The contract with Cheng'en Village has been decided, and there are no opinions. After that, the agreement is signed once a year, and the specific terms will be communicated in advance in the guild before the signing of the agreement, so as to prevent someone from raising the price and messing up the rules. ”

"What will the guild do?"

"It's only in the past two months, I'll go to Qinzhou again in a few days."

"Let me tell them more, this business is to be done for decades, and it is better to make money for a while, than for a lifetime. Don't spoil the possibility of future cooperation because of greed. ”

Feng Congyi said with a smile: "My cousin is worrying in vain, they are all businessmen, I believe they all understand this truth." ”

Although the essence of business is profit, it is also about favor and credit, and it is impossible to compete or exchange interests nakedly. Even in later generations, the number of contacts is still an important criterion to measure the level of a salesman. Friendship and relationships are often worth tens of thousands of dollars, and credibility is the top priority.

"Shiro worries that that's for the best." Feng Congyi's words, Han Gang didn't think it was wrong. After thinking about it, he said again: "The next time you discuss the establishment of a guild, don't forget to pull the Wang family up." I didn't bring the Wang family with me this time, and I said a little. But when it comes to forming a guild, he doesn't bring the Wang family with him, and his face can't be polished. ”

"What about the Gao family?" Feng Congyi asked.

“…… As for the Gao family, it is not too late to bring in after the guild is ready to be established. "As long as the two families are brought in before the guild is established, even if there is a mustard, it will not be too much of a problem.

This time, when he organized merchants to enter into a contract for the purchase of cotton, Han Gang did not inform the Wang and Gao firms, who controlled the trade on Xihe Road together. It's not that Han Gang doesn't take the two families to play, but that few of those businessmen are willing to do business with the privy deputy envoy and the queen mother's family. Only now that the cooperation with Han Gang has been finalized, can I have the courage to contact the Wang and Gao families.

Although Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu have now left Xihe Road, they are all promoted. Wang Shao's privy deputy envoy does not need to be mentioned, Gao Zunyu went to Hedong Road, compared with the deputy head of the newly established Xihe Road, the deputy head of the soldiers and horses of Hedong Road is obviously one or two levels higher. Although the two left, the shadow left behind was even greater.

With such a behemoth as them. Everyone is afraid that their share will be eaten. It is true that a number of commercial houses led by Yihe are the head snakes in Qinfeng Road, and in Qinzhou, they are not afraid of the commercial competition between Wang and Gao. But the cotton cloth business is to be done in the capital, in the city of Tokyo, Qinzhou's head snake can only be regarded as a yellow eel, and the strong dragon is still a strong dragon.

If it weren't for the fact that Han Gang has never eaten alone, his performance this time was generous enough, and the conditions offered were even more impossible to refuse, and no one would be willing to do business with the son-in-law of the prime minister's family. The idiom of Qi Dafei is not even, whether it is in talking about marriage or cooperation in the business field, there is some truth.

Han Gang is not afraid of the Wang family, and he is willing to share the benefits with the Wang family, but he is really worried about the appetite of the Queen Mother's family, and he does not forget to tell his cousin repeatedly: "Don't think about relying on your Yue family, it is a crocodile, it can swallow all its shares, and not a single bone will be left to anyone." ”

Feng Congyi is the son-in-law of the Gao family, but it is only a distant branch, and if the Gao family really wants to monopolize the cotton cloth market in Tokyo City, his father-in-law and mother-in-law will not have much benefit. And Feng Congyi also knew where his foundation was, and nodded in response: "Little brother understands." ”

"That's fine."

Han Gang no longer has any worries, but Feng Congyi still has a hidden worry: "It's just that this time I brought in so many people, and the stall is spread so big, if we can't have enough cotton fields to open up in three or five years, it will be difficult for the guild to maintain it at that time." ”

The purpose of setting up a guild is to make money, and this time several chambers of commerce in Qinfeng and Xihe want to set up a guild to participate in the grand event, because the potential profit of cotton cloth is too great. If it is a few hundred thousand yuan a year, let each family divide it, and that is willing to pay a lot of energy. It is the dung line in Qinzhou City, and there are more than 100,000 turnovers a year.

"Don't worry." Han Gang considered this, but he didn't tell Feng Congyi, "Let's not talk about the immigrants in the future, now that we have the Han archers led by the Guangrui Army as an example, we can lure the archers of the Tibetan soldiers to follow suit." As long as they planted the land, they will be an important source of cotton in the future. ”

"Fanren?" Feng Congyi asked in surprise.

"Of course it's the Tibetan people. If they don't have a way to farm and make money, it will be troublesome for them to start growing their crops in the future. ”

You can refer to how the colonies under the control of the Western powers developed and stabilized a few hundred years later. It mainly relied on the simplification of economic production, and incorporated the colonies into its own industrial chain. Therefore, when the colony becomes independent and breaks away from the original industrial chain, the national economy will have a period of plummeting, and whether it can be restored depends on the level of governance of each country itself.

Han Gang's idea was to lure the Tibetan people who had started farming to plant cotton and other cash crops, just as the imperial court now lured the nomadic Tibetan people to raise a large number of horses in exchange for tea.

Once the Xihe and Tibetan tribes were all included in the economic circle of the Great Song Dynasty, production and life were inseparable from the commercial activities of the Great Song Dynasty, even if someone instigated them to rebel against the imperial court, they would be overturned by them.

In this era, there was no trend of national independence, but the barbarians from all over the world worshiped the Han civilization, so much so that it was rumored that the emperor of the Khitan wanted to engrave the words 'May China be born in the next life' on the back of the silver Buddha - although Han Gang did not know whether this was true or false, and whether 'China' referred to the Great Song Dynasty. But from the Tibetan nobles' preference for Han things, as well as the awe of the Great Song Dynasty officials today, we can still see one or two.

"According to the regulations of the imperial court, the field given to the obedient Fan soldiers and archers was 100 acres, the small leaders were 200 acres, and the big leaders were 300 acres. But the Tibetan people don't know how to farm, and they just barely make ends meet. If this continues, of course, it will be difficult to settle down. If they can be turned into making money by planting cotton, they will definitely attract other Tibetan people to work one after another and go down the mountain to farm. ”

"Then it's up to my uncle to guide them."

Han Gang nodded, this was also a chance to give his father Han Qianliu a chance to shine.

Nowadays, Han Qianliu has a high reputation among immigrants, especially the Guangrui Army, who is not good at cropping, if they do not have the help of Han Qianliu's Tuntian Affairs, they will have no harvest in the first year of coming to Longxi. However, in the status of the Tibetan people, Han Qianliu is far inferior to his son who founded a sanatorium and treated the sick and wounded of the Tibetan nobles. If Han Qianliu helped them learn to farm, after the lives of the archers of the Tibetan people became rich, they would inevitably think of the good of the Han family.

If the father and son can form a deep friendship with the Fan people, the next generations of the Han family can get great benefits from it.

After talking to Han Gang about the future of the cotton spinning industry, Feng Congyi got up and said goodbye.

Han Gang sent him out, and when he came back, he lay on the recliner and wondered if there was something wrong with the whole thing.

The matter of cotton spinning has been solved, and this time I returned to my hometown, everything that should be done has been done. After a few more days, he will leave his hometown and return to Beijing.

I don't know what kind of situation the situation in Beijing has become during this time.
