0016 Where did the cotton go?
Yuan Sen was a little puzzled - how did this Ning Feixuan enter the Taishou Mansion without passing the word?
But at the moment, he was more concerned about the matter of cotton, so he asked directly,
"Mr. Ning, the three-day period we agreed on has arrived, I don't know how your cotton procurement is going?"
"Lord Qiyu Taishou, the matter of cotton has been taken care of. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"What, you're done?" Yuan Sen was subconsciously taken aback first, and then he reacted, his reaction was a little over-the-top - as if he knew that Ning Feixuan was not doing anything serious at all.
Ning Feixuan didn't react, just smiled indifferently,
"Yes, it's done, a total of twenty trucks of cotton, enough for all the textile workshops and dyeing workshops in Yuzhou City to start work for five days."
"I wonder where these twenty carts of cotton are at this moment?" Yuan Sen still couldn't believe it.
"It's just outside Yuzhou City, Lord Taishou can send someone to count it now."
Yuan Sen hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to go to the city gate to count, and sure enough, the high-quality cotton produced in Lingzhou was loaded with twenty carts, and all the workshops that Ning Feixuan said were more than enough to start work for five days.
After Yuan Sen heard the news of his subordinates' return, he was overjoyed,
"Can you ask Mr. Ning how he procured the cotton from Lingzhou?"
Ning Feixuan still smiled faintly,
"I can't answer this request, I can only guarantee that the cotton in the later period will be able to be delivered to Yuzhou on time with quality and quantity like this time."
"Okay, happy, in that case, the old man won't ask any more."
"Thanks, just one more thing."
"Oh, Mr. Ning, please speak."
"I mentioned it to Lord Taishou before, if Lord Taishou feels that you still have to do what you want, I hope to be able to obtain the right to purchase cotton from Yuzhou."
"This—" Yuan Sen couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this request.
Unlike last time, this time Ning Feixuan asked for a long-term carte blanche.
But Yuan Sen still didn't know what Ning Feixuan's origin was, and he couldn't figure out what medicine was in his gourd.
Giving him power like this, Yuan Sen didn't want to do it for a while.
"Sir's ability, the old man has seen it.
What the gentleman asks for is also a matter of course, and the old man will definitely meet the gentleman's request.
It's just that in the past, the cotton procurement in Yuzhou has always been handed over to many people to do, and there has never been a situation like this when there is a one-person carte carte blanche to act as an agent.
Therefore, the procedures may be a little cumbersome, after all, official affairs and official documents have to go through certain procedures.
Can you please ask Mr. to wait a few days, the old man must order his subordinates to complete the formalities for Mr. as soon as possible, and it will be more convenient for Mr. to do things later. ”
Ning Feixuan thought to himself, this Yuan Sen was really an old fox, he knew that if he refused to speak, he would simply come up with a procrastination, the purpose should be to investigate his own details.
"It's a pity, how can I Ning Feixuan's details be investigated clearly by an old fox like you."
Thinking of this, Ning Feixuan said with a smile,
"Okay, then there's Lord Laotaishou."
After returning from Yuan Sen's Taishou Mansion, Ning Feixuan hurriedly wrote a secret report and sent his henchman Starry Night to Wangcheng.
"This Ning Feixuan is really easy to use."
Chen Xi looked at the secret report presented by Ning Feixuan and blurted out happily.
"Yuzhou's errand is doing well, I can't help but transport cotton from Lingzhou to Yuzhou smoothly, the key is that this road is not obvious, and it is very hidden.
Now our future plans can be implemented smoothly. ”
Chen Xi is confident.
"Well, in addition to that, I suggest you ask Ning Feixuan to check which textile workshops and dyeing workshops the twenty truckloads of cotton that arrived in advance were transported." The system says.
"Oh? I didn't think of that, so I did it. Chen Xi's eyes lit up, obviously he felt that the system's suggestion was very reliable.
Five days passed quickly, and during these five days, everything was calm in Yuzhou City.
But that is only a superficial phenomenon, in fact, an intelligence war is quietly unfolding.
Yuzhou Taishou Mansion, Yuan Sen's men reported,
"Tell my lord, the little one has been following Ning Feixuan every inch in the past few days, seeing that he is still drinking and having fun every day, there is nothing else to do."
Yuan Sen frowned and said, "Then can you explain to me how a person who only knows how to drink and have fun every day can easily get twenty carts of cotton when there is no way to buy cotton in the entire Yuzhou City?" ”
"This—the subordinates don't know."
"Useless waste, go down."
"Yes, yes"
Yuan Sen's subordinates reluctantly retreated from the Taishou Mansion.
At the same time, in Wangcheng, Chen Xi received the latest secret report from Ning Feixuan.
"Haha, there's a windfall." Chen Xi hasn't smiled like this for a few days.
"What's the catch?" The system asked.
"You're still a shrewd system.
After twenty carts of cotton were transported to Yuzhou, Yuan Sen did not supply the cotton to the textile workshops and dyeing mills in the city, but gave most of it to the ten largest workshops in Yuzhou City.
And most of the rest of the workshops in Yuzhou City could only share a small part of the twenty carts of cotton together, and at best only one cart.
And the most important thing is, guess who controls the top ten workshops in Yuzhou City? ”
"This needs to be guessed, of course, they are all under Yuan Sen's relatives and various cronies."
"That's right, Ning Feixuan not only got this information, but also investigated the list of these people clearly."
Chen Xi groaned slightly, and still asked the system,
"Anyway, how did you come up with the idea of asking Ning Feixuan to investigate the whereabouts of those twenty carts of cotton that day?"
"It's the same idea you used to use cotton to control Hashu.
It is because the textile workshop and dyeing workshop are the absolute economic lifeblood of Yuzhou, so Yuan Sen, as the lord of a city, will definitely not let it go.
He will definitely control the textile workshops and dyeing workshops that can determine the lifeblood of Yuzhou's economy in his own hands.
Only in this way will he have the best way to reward those who are loyal to him.
Those who are loyal are profitable, and only then can he sit on the throne of his guard. ”
Chen Xi listened to the system's words and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.
"This is true not only in one city and one state and county, but also in my throne.
If the throne is to be secured, there must be enough people to be loyal.
And if you want enough people to be loyal, give them enough rewards for those who are loyal.
That's all that matters. ”
Back in Yuzhou City, although the workshop under the control of Yuan Sen obtained most of the previous cotton, but under the full operation, the consumption of cotton was also very fast.
Within ten days, the cotton supply was once again urgent.
Yuan Sen knew that he couldn't shirk it this time, although he was very reluctant, he had to issue a document to Ning Feixuan, and let him take full responsibility for the cotton procurement in Yuzhou.
Chen Xi, who received the secret report in Wangcheng, snapped his fingers,
"Now it's finally time to move on to the next step."
