Chapter 90 Suzhou Weaving Bureau

"Where is Miss Yue'er going to open her shop......

Hearing Zhang Quan's question, Yue'er came back to her senses and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "The young master has confessed to the letter...... There is a fish dragon street in Suzhou...... It was the former Xingbake Street, and now it has changed back to Yulong Street...... It's over there......

Zhang Quan of Xingbake Street has not heard of it, but he is no stranger to Yulong Street, they are not strangers to the place where bandits and thieves gathered back then, although they have not been there, but they still feel trembling when they hear it. [Ran^Text^Library] []

It's just that he heard that all the bandits in Yulong Street were recruited by the imperial court later, but he didn't know much about the facts.

Now that Shen Wuyan has already arranged the location of the shop, then he has nothing to say, so he will do what he says, at least there is no need to hang out in Liaodong anymore, sell horses, and sell fur much stronger.

After looking at a larger shop on Yulong Street with Yue'er, the two chatted for a while at the stall on the side, and after finding a place for Zhang Quan to live, it was not early.

Fortunately, everything was arranged in this hot afternoon, and now the shop can be opened as long as Shen Weijing transports the goods from Liaodong, but before it opens, Yue'er still has some side matters.

took out a large box from Zhang Quan's carriage, carried it by several men in the shop, and headed towards the Li family's mansion.

In recent years, the Li family's business has been quite good, as an imperial businessman, there are all kinds of advantages, plus the prefect and some officials behind it, the Li family's status in Suzhou has increased.

In addition to the fact that the progress of the shop on the bookstore has not been obvious, silk has become the first in Suzhou, and the remaining few have been completely suppressed, and there is no chance of turning over.

Among them, there was naturally Shen Wuyan's secret help, and there were also slight changes to the loom later, so that the speed of the Li family's spinning was twice as fast as that of the next few houses, and it had an advantage in quantity.

The Li family also undertook the responsibility of the imperial businessman, and the various means inside were far from being comparable to those of several other households, so the gap between them became wider and wider, until it was completely overwhelming.

The seventh uncle of the Li family died the year before last, and now Li Xingchang finally took over the power of the family, and the first thing he did was to separate several of his brothers from the family, but he used a lot of outsiders.

Although this has attracted a lot of criticism, all the circumstances tell everyone that his decision is very wise.

It's just that since this year, the business has been difficult to do, and it is not that there is a new silk village to compete, but it is really made in Suzhou that has strict requirements for this year's goods, saying that it is a change of people, but Li Xingchang has repeatedly sent people to send silver, and there has been no progress.

After that, I felt that the weaver didn't like gold and silver vulgar things, so he sent all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, but it still had no effect. So much so that even the beauties and beauties were sent, but it was always useless.

Later, I learned that the weaving bureau was all eunuchs in the palace, but they gave all kinds of fathers-in-law a living, but they were never summoned, and most of the things were accepted, but there was no reply.

Now that the time for the receipt of this batch of silk is getting closer and closer, Li Xingchang has always been a little bored in his heart.

So far, although my daughter has brought her granddaughter to live at home for a few days, and I am finally in a better mood, I still can't help but care about these things.

After all, this year's weaving bureau has opened a lot of goods, there are as many as 700,000 taels of silk, one of which must be treasured, said to be prepared for the harem and the vassal kings, and the requirements are extremely high.

But in the past, the Weaving Bureau would also say the same, just to ask for some remuneration, and everything is easy to say if you don't send silver, and if you don't open your eyes if you don't send silver, the goods will not pass.

If the royal family does not want such royal embroidery, then it is equivalent to abolishing it all, because even if it is returned, it cannot be sold, and no family dares to buy royal silk.

So that the matter has not yet been settled, Li Xingchang is smiling and coaxing his granddaughter Tianjun to have fun, and there is always some worry in his eyes.

Li Wan'er, who was standing on the side, was so shrewd that she naturally knew the inside story, and after a while of muttering, she sighed lightly: "If it's really not good...... Father, why don't you go to the prefect Xu's side...... He still has some dealings with Wuyan......"

"Lord Xu's side can't have the slightest connection with the Weaving Bureau...... Although the official positions of these fathers-in-law are not high, the Xu Governor's Mansion also wants to give them some thin noodles, and now they have sent a lot of silver, which is already tens of thousands of taels, and there is no movement at all, I think there is a reason. ”

Li Xingchang let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Actually, 700,000 taels of silver is not a big deal for the Li family...... It's just that your uncles have broken up, but it has greatly hurt the vitality of the Li family. ”

Li Wan'er sighed secretly, then glanced at Shen Tianjun, who was sitting silently on the ground, and suddenly said, "It's better to find Mr. Xu...... He was the elder of the cabinet in the court back then, and he thought of some way. ”

"This is a good way...... Li Xingchang looked slightly stunned, and then sighed: "It would be nice if there were no words...... If he is here, these fathers-in-law will not dare to make such a fuss......"

While the two were chatting, a short old man walked from the side of the path, the old man had an old face, but he could see that he must have been very delicate when he was young, and there was a burst of heroism between his eyebrows.

He walked over and said in a deep voice: "If you are silent, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to do......"

Li Wan'er raised her eyes, hurriedly saluted the old man, and nodded, "I've seen Mr. Xu......"

Since Songjiang Huating's house was burned down, Xu Jie has lived in Shen Wuyan's Nuanxiang Pavilion in Kunshan, and he has been happy to be idle in the past few years.

It's rare to come over today, but it's also for the Li family.

Xu Jie waved his hand casually and said with a wry smile: "Suzhou weaving is called Qi Yao...... Jiajing entered the palace in the forty-third year, and was later arranged in the imperial horse prison...... It is now the master of ceremonies and the supervisor of the seal, Meng Chong's subordinates......"

These characters are too unfamiliar to ordinary people like Li Xingchang, and the old man in front of him is casually said, but it doesn't mean that these people are ordinary people.

After a little hesitation, Xu Jie continued: "Meng Chong is just a eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch...... With his qualifications, he is actually not qualified to take over Chen Hong's position, but he is now in the palm of his hand...... That's a sign that something is wrong. ”

"I guess it's Mr. Gao's help." Li Wan'er and Shen Wuyan have lived in the capital for a period of time, although they don't care much about the affairs of the court on weekdays, but they also know a little about it.

Xu Jie nodded slightly, and sighed: "Gao Gong, this person is really greedy for power...... His Majesty is now deeply favored by him, so he ...... Thinking about this, this Qi Yao was deliberately arranged by him. ”

Li Xingchang shook his head helplessly, and said bitterly: "My Li family has this little business...... but they are not greedy for the powerful...... Why do you have to ...... like that?"

Xu Jie chuckled lightly and said in a deep voice: "What you did without words is really amazing, you sold the shop and threw away most of your family wealth...... But he still couldn't reassure Gao Gong, and even stretched out his hand to the Li family......"

"How can this be a good ......," Li Wan'er muttered softly.

At first, two people were sad, but now Xu Jiejie has added, but another person is sad. Even though he used to be the first assistant of the ruling and opposition powers, now he can't even cope with a little eunuch.

I had to lament in my heart, but I apologized a lot to the person who was far away in Liaodong, and probably took myself over to live in Nuanxiang Pavilion, thinking that it was also for this situation to appear, and I could make a move.

After all these years of careful care, he can live so comfortably as a lonely old man, but in the end he can't do anything, which is a little guilty.

I couldn't bear to look at the father and daughter anymore, so I picked up Shen Tianjun on the ground and said with a smile: "It's time to go and read with Mr. today...... Your father is so talented, and you probably won't be bad. ”

When he walked through the path, he happened to pass by Yue'er, Yue'er gave a salute, Xu Jie nodded in return, and did not say much.

And Yue'er knows better than anyone about the situation of the Li family, but now that he is lonely, he really can't help the Li family.

However, when Li Xingchang saw Yue'er coming, he was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it...... Is there a wordless reply to the letter, is there any way......"

Under the expectant gaze, Yue'er finally shook her head and sighed: "The young master did come to the letter, but he didn't mention it...... He probably didn't receive the letter he sent. ”

Looking at her disappointed and even a little desperate father, Li Wan'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said in a low voice: "After all, it's only a few hundred thousand taels of silver...... My father's health is important. ”

Li Xingchang nodded slightly, couldn't help but smile, and said, "But I can also know the result...... After all, being silent is considered to be a good effort...... If there had been no silence over the years, the Li family would not be where it is today. ”

Yue'er sighed lightly, and said busily: "The young master asked people to bring back a batch of mountain medicinal materials from Liaodong...... It is said that it is a big supplement for the old mountain ginseng, and it must be handed over to the old man. ”

Li Xingchang smiled faintly, instructed the guys to throw the big box aside at will, and then ordered a reward, and then ordered to go down, but left Yue'er in the house.

After chatting for a while, they served wine and food in the side hall, and the three of them simply ate some.

Looking at the sad Li Xingchang, Yue'er suddenly said, "The young master also said...... The shop can be lost, but the silver can be left unwanted...... But the signboard must be kept, and sooner or later it will make a comeback. ”

"Approximately...... It can only be like this......" Li Xingchang's face was not good-looking, but he still smiled.

Li Wan'er shook her head and said busily: "This may not be ...... I can't say that the adults of the Weaving Bureau are honest people, and the quality of my Li family's silk will definitely pass...... It's a mediocrity to disturb yourself. ”

……

No one can tell whether the adults of the Weaving Bureau are upright people, but everyone knows that they can't be straight, probably because of this, and adds a perfect explanation to their femininity and ruthlessness.

At least for the father-in-law in the flying fish suit who is sitting in the attic now, looking at the scenery of Suzhou from afar, this is probably the case.
