Chapter 271: Ordos Warms the World (2)
Tian Hongyu also hurriedly said: "Yes! Oh, yes! Your Majesty, this Dong Shengwei is the name of the older generation, and now, I'm afraid there is no ......"
Yang Gai took a closer look, indeed, this Dongshengwei is in the northeast of the Hetao, the corner of the word 'several', on the north bank of the Yellow River, outside the Great Wall. Now there is no Dong Shengwei, that is to say, I want not to leave the raw material production area, and want to build a factory near the Beijing Division, this idea, I am afraid that it is unrealistic, according to the actual control of the Ming Dynasty today, this processing base, can only be within the Great Wall, but this is far away from the raw material production base, Yang Reform felt, this is a trouble.
Where should this woolen sweater production base be located? Yang reform is difficult, leaving the raw material base, the cost is bound to increase, far away from Beijing, and it is difficult to control himself, and he can only set up this production base in the Great Wall, otherwise the safety is not guaranteed.
Yang reformed a few times, and it was quite difficult,...... I thought about it again, since I wanted to learn from the "Ordos, warm the world" in the future, why didn't I directly find the location of the Ordos where the woolen sweater was produced in the future? Since it is borrowing and imitating, perhaps it can be imitated a little more thoroughly.
Thinking of this, Yang Reform's heart can be regarded as settling down. Prepare to search the Internet tonight to see where the "Ordos, warm the world" is.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Wang Chengen saw that the emperor's face had calmed down, and immediately asked, See how the emperor is.
"It's okay, it's okay, big companion, the map is collected, I and my father-in-law continue to talk......" Yang Reform has an idea, and he is not very anxious.
Wang Chengen looked at the emperor suspiciously, beckoned the little eunuchs to collect the map, and was about to go to the person in charge of managing the map. Wang Chengen was on fire.
"Well...... old man, the deal I gave you was to buy this wool." Yang said his purpose.
"Buying that kind of wool? Could it be that Your Majesty wants to make that kind of exquisite wool? Tian Hongyu asked cautiously, very puzzled, although that kind of wool is good, it is also quite valuable, but if you want to say how much you can make a difference, he Tian Hongyu doesn't believe it.
"Yes, I plan to use that kind of wool to make cloth, and then make clothes to sell, I have already mobilized textile craftsmen from the south, and it won't be long before the work starts, what you have to do now is to collect this wool as soon as possible, and strive to make a batch of finished products before this winter, and open the signboard first, I previously handed over this business to Liulizhai to do, but after all, Liulizhai is interlaced with this, and I am not familiar with Mongolia, so I decided to hand over this business to you to do...... what, old man, don't want to do it?" Yang Gengai found that Tian Hongyu had a sad face.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, I'm afraid this business will lose money...... Your Majesty ......" Tian Hongyu lamented, with his perennial business vision, this business is definitely a mess, he also wants to rely on the emperor to collect money, for his daughter to win favor, now when he looks at this business, his heart is half cold.
"Why?" Yang asked Gengai.
Tian Hongyu almost cried with a sad face, and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister has not read any books, but I also know that the people of my Chinese land have always been male farmers and women weaving, and the clothes and cloth are all made by themselves, and I have never heard of buying new clothes directly to wear!" Your Majesty, how is this business done? Aren't you going to throw your majesty's money into the water? The minister can't afford this crime! ”
Tian Hongyu really cried, what is this business called? Throughout the ages, have there ever been people who have sold ready-to-wear clothes? Didn't the women do it themselves? Now His Majesty's business is to make wool into cloth and then into clothes, which has not been heard of since ancient times.
"Hehe, old man? I know what you're talking about, but I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? It's a waste of silver, it's also my silver, it didn't cost you a penny, what are you afraid of? Yang Gengai asked with a smile.
"But...... Your Majesty, this business will really lose money! What's more, the cloth made of wool is still hairy, and it can't be compared with silk at all, or even cotton. Isn't it being laughed to death? Tian Hongyu was also confused, since the emperor knew that he still had to do this? Isn't that incompatible with silver? Another sharp question, this wool is not silk, nor cotton, the clothes made are not very bright, if the hair is not handled well, the whole is a "hairy man", if this kind of clothing becomes the clothes worn by the common people, Tian Hongyu feels that he is unimaginable.
"Alas...... Father-in-law, it seems that your vision of doing business is still a little worse! What is the most profitable business in the world? It is nothing more than people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, this clothes are in the first place, and the old man actually said that he can't make money by buying and selling clothes? As for no one dares to wear it out, my father-in-law may not understand what I mean, my plan is to use this wool material to make underwear for close wear, called thermal underwear, or woolen sweater, cashmere sweater, only worn inside, and still cover other clothes outside, and the appearance is not bright can not ......be touched, with the warm effect of this cashmere sweater and woolen sweater, the old man is still afraid that he will not be able to sell it? Yang reformed his father-in-law.
“…… Your Majesty, what is worn inside? This, Your Majesty, seems to ...... But, Your Majesty...... If it was possible to make money, someone would have done it a long time ago, why has anyone never heard of doing it since ancient times? Tian Hongyu didn't believe it even if he was killed, this kind of business that violated thousands of years of historical tradition was a good business, and the world's affairs were all about following the trend, and he had never seen such a rebellion.
"Huh...... The old man still hasn't woken up, it is precisely because no one has done it since ancient times, so I want to set this precedent, if someone has done it since ancient times, the old man wants to get involved, I'm afraid that if I help, the old man may not be able to make much money! For example, salt, iron, and tea, everyone in the world knows that this makes money, but is the old man sure that he will get a piece of the pie? Yang Gengai asked his father-in-law.
"But...... His Majesty ...... "Tian Hongyu salivated over the salt, iron, and tea that the emperor said, but he also knew that it was difficult for him to interfere with these things, the relationship between them was complicated, how many vassal kings, nobles, and ministers were all eating in it, even if the emperor supported him, Tian Hongyu didn't dare to say that he ate alone, and it was good to get a little leftovers, compared with the business of Liulizhai, it was really boring.
"Don't worry, old man, I told you to do it, naturally you are sure, no one has done it before, then I will set this precedent, the people of the world do not have the habit of buying ready-to-wear clothes, then I will develop a habit for the people of the world, not to mention anything else, don't we have more than 2 million officers and soldiers in our dynasty? I don't dare to say one piece per person, one piece for each officer and soldier on the nine sides, I am still sure, so many clothes, you can prepare them in the past two years, it can be regarded as you have great ability, and you have helped me a lot, understand? ”
Yang reform is not a mouthful, you know, this woolen sweater, especially the warmth of the cashmere sweater, that is much better than cotton, sweat-absorbing surname is much better, if there is their own guidance and promotion, it will definitely be popular throughout the country, if you can put the price and cost down, to say that one person, it is not impossible, of course, Yang reform does not expect to earn millions of taels of silver for himself every year, can wipe out the military expenses of the Imperial Army, Yang Reform will be satisfied, otherwise, he will carry the huge military expenditure of the Imperial Association Army all the year round, it is really a burden, there must be a business that can subsidize the expenses of the Imperial Army, otherwise, all year round, he will be dragged down, and use the things on the grassland to raise the Imperial Association Army on the grassland, this is Yang Reform's original plan.
More importantly, although he is now making a big effort to provide disaster relief and immigration, Yang Reform feels that it is still not enough, and he still decided to open a few more enterprises that can absorb a large number of labor employment, such as the oil industry, such as the textile industry, which is also a reason, Yang Reform has always regarded the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty as the top priority related to his own life and death, and has always kept in mind that the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the peasant rebellion, not wild boar skin. This kind of life-and-death matter can be done or not, and if you have the opportunity, you have to do it, and if you don't have the opportunity to create opportunities, you have to do it.
Tian Hongyu heard this, made hundreds of thousands of ready-to-wear clothes for the officers and soldiers of the nine sides, and was born a little peacefully, it turned out that the emperor was planning this, to calculate it like this, it was indeed enough for him to work for a few years, and the clothes made were not marketable at all, if it was this business, it would be a sure profit.
"Your Majesty is merciful, if there is a reservation from Your Majesty, then the minister is not worried that this business is not easy to do, but even if there is a reservation from Your Majesty, this is not a long-term thing! You can't rely on Your Majesty's reservation every year, right? Tian Hongyu calculated, although there were hundreds of thousands of clothes, but he still couldn't make much money, and he didn't have much interest in this business, so he began to pick thorns again.
"Don't worry about this, I do things and have my own plans, have you seen me doing loss-making transactions? Since I want to do this business, I will definitely be able to make this line bigger, hundreds of thousands of clothes every year, that is just the beginning, my idea is that I have one in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and I can do this, this business, even if it is done, my goal is actually to warm the world......"
"......" Tian Hongyu could only look at the emperor with a dull gaze, this emperor, probably stupid, was talking about this impossible thing again.
“…… You only have to do the business of woolen sweaters, you have a share of the profits, and I will never treat you badly if you lose money, not to mention, this business, as I said, is also linked to the national fortune of our dynasty, not just business. "Yang's plan at the beginning of the reform was to bind this wool business to the Imperial Army, which was not as simple as a pure business, but there was no specific implementation plan for the time being.
When Tian Hongyu heard that this business was also linked to the national fortune, he instantly became in awe of this business.
