Chapter 453: The Xu Family Weaving Factory (Part II)
However, it was said that on the opening day of the Xujia Weaving Factory, Wang Shouren of Huating County also came to congratulate him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Baili Hou personally came to congratulate, which surprised Xu Tan, the head of the Xu family.
He originally thought that Wang Xianzun, as a Qincha, would not deign to come here, who would have thought that Xianzun had no shelf at all, but came to have fun with the people.
When the county came, Xu Tan naturally stepped forward to greet him, and invited Wang Shouren to the factory while smiling.
In fact, it is said to be a weaving factory, but it is a temporary transformation of an abandoned house of the Xu family.
Hundreds of looms are neatly arranged in open rooms, and every fifty looms are managed by a steward. If something goes wrong with the weaver, the steward is also responsible.
This model can ensure maximum efficiency and is very conducive to large-scale production.
Wang Shouren inspected the Xu family's weaving factory, and was invited to a small courtyard by Xu Tan to drink tea.
This garden was originally for the Xu family to live in, but it has been barren over the years, but the foundation is still there, although it is not a step at a time, but the pavilions and pavilions are readily available.
The weaving factory is in the outer house, and you can't see such a scenery. But as soon as I passed through a few moon gates and came to the back garden along the verandah, I immediately changed the general scenery.
This garden is said to have been designed by a craftsman in Suzhou Prefecture, and it combines the timeless beauty of Suzhou gardens with the atmosphere of Songjiang gardens.
Wang Shouren scraped the tea powder with the tea lid and said lightly: "Xu Yuanwai is really a blessing." Every abandoned garden is so beautifully arranged, and no one in this county has ever lived in such a beautiful house. ”
Wang Shouren is not talking nonsense. Although he is also from a scholarly family, his father Wang Hua is also an important member of the court. But Yuyao's old mansion is at most decent, and it is completely out of line with the mansion.
People are more popular than people, and Wang Shouren, who looked at the Xu family's house, only felt that his ancestral house was shabby and dilapidated, and it didn't look like an official's house at all.
As for the house in Kyoto, not to mention.
Jingshi rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place. The Wang family's house in Beijing is only three entrances, even in the Beijing division where every inch of land is expensive, it can only be regarded as shabby, and the identity of the old man Wang Hua is very incompatible.
The county honored it. Although this house is quite exquisite, it can't accommodate too many people. There were hundreds of people in the old family, and it was too crowded to live here, so they moved out and built a new house. ”
When Wang Shouren heard this, he almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.
Is this five-entry house still small?
Could it be that Xu Tan still wants to live in the palace?
But he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said in a harmonious voice: "Sure enough, it is a wealthy family, and this county is considered to have seen it." ”
If you talk about the longevity of the family, the Langya Wang family is not lost to the Huating Xu family. However, because of the business relationship, the Wang family has not been as good as the Xu family in business in the past hundred years. In addition, the internal struggle of the Langya Wang clan was fierce, and the internal friction was serious, which declined.
But the Xu family has always been in charge of housework in the long house, and it has become more and more prosperous in the past hundred years.
In comparison, it is embarrassing.
"County Zun, there is something that I don't know whether to talk about or not."
Now that Wang Shouren has come, Xu Tan naturally wants to take the opportunity to probe his tone.
"Xu Yuanwai, but it doesn't hurt to say."
"I wonder how long this new deal will last?"
Being able to open a weaving factory is of course a good thing for the Xu family. But if the imperial court changes its decree overnight, and the new policy is abolished after not being implemented for long, it will be a devastating blow to the Xu family.
A few hundred and one thousand looms is not a small number, and it costs a lot of money to purchase it alone, and this piece is equivalent to rotting in your hands.
Second, this will expose the ambitions of the Xu family.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
This is especially true in the business world. If the Xu family can make a lot of profits from setting up a factory, then it will be enough to be wronged.
If it is just a void in the end, then the Xu family will be too much of a loss.
Wang Shouren took a sip of tea and said, "This is not what this county knows. However, the county felt that since the imperial court had implemented the new policy, it was impossible to change the decree overnight. With a small cabinet elder in the court, this new policy can be continued. ”
Although Xu Tan was not guaranteed, Wang Shouren's words still reassured Xu Tan.
"In this way, the old decay will be relieved."
Who is the old brother? That's Jane's character in the emperor's heart.
Xu Tan has also seen the world and understands that all official titles in the Ming Dynasty are false, and only the word emperor is the king.
Wang Xianzun is right, as long as there is a small cabinet in the court, the new policy can be implemented.
Xu Tan didn't expect the New Deal to be implemented for tens or hundreds of years, as long as there was about ten years to make him a lot of money.
Regarding Wang Shouren's strong order, Xu Tan himself is also in a complicated mood. At first, he just thought that this person was a stunned young man, and he wanted to smash everything he was not used to.
But later I found out that this person has great wisdom, and it is not completely denied to these wealthy families to live.
As for the matter of setting up a factory, it is of great benefit to a family like the Xu family, and if everything goes well, it will completely solve the problem of huge family expenses.
"But there is one thing that the county wants to tell Xu Yuanwai in front."
Wang Shouren's words turned, and there was a hint of fierceness between his eyebrows.
"County honor, please speak."
Xu Tan made a deferential look and said in a harmonious voice.
"Although the imperial court has given you the right to set up factories, it does not mean that you can sell cloth and silk at will. If the county finds out that there is a situation of smuggling and sea trade, it will not be spared! ”
Hearing this, Xu Tan shuddered.
It was not without him that he did not think of selling silk cloth by smuggling, because this way it was the most profitable.
Although the imperial court halved the tax on setting up factories in the first year, the profits from selling silk cloth in the Ming Dynasty were limited, and the profits received were about 30%.
And if you smuggle in the sea trade, it is very common to get double the profit.
"Whatever the county said, the old man really wants to do maritime trade, and he will report to the Maritime Economic Bureau in advance."
Xu Tan only felt that he was being targeted by Wang Shouren, and smiled awkwardly.
If he really wants to go through the Maritime Economic Bureau, he will have to pay the tax to the Maritime Economic Bureau on the basis of the factory tax, which is about the same as the profit of selling silk cloth to the Ming Dynasty and the three capitals and thirteen provinces.
So why should he do anything more?
Wang Shouren only said casually that he was not too worried about smuggling. Because whether it is the Hongzhi Dynasty or the Zhengde Dynasty, the problem of smuggling and pirates is not very serious.
He didn't quite understand why Xie Shen would tell him everything in this matter, but in line with his trust in Xie Shen, he still had to fulfill his responsibility as a supervisor.
Everything that should be said was said, and Wang Shouren didn't want to stay at Xu's house longer, so he put down the teacup and said: "The county still has official business to be busy, so I won't bother Xu Yuanwai." ”
Xu Tan had long wished that Wang Shouren would leave, and he was naturally overjoyed when he heard this.
It's just that he showed a reluctant look on his face, and pretended to persuade him to stay.
