Section 141 The loom determines the industry [3rd Update]
Chen Adaa was also laughing, anyway, he was just talking for fun, but Bai Minghe was funny. Those civil officials in Guangdong who tell these jokes with the rude military attaches in the army, at every turn, what kind of saint says, this son and that.
When Bai Minghe returned to the house, he immediately threw aside the matter of the Japanese people's complaint, and now he cared about Shi Heng.
At night, Wang Fulin and Su Muyun actually entered Bai Minghe's mansion from the corner gate of the White Mansion together. The corner gate is generally walked by the next person, and once the person who really has the identity enters with the corner gate, the real non-traitor and thief. It's definitely not here to do good things, Wang Fulin and Su Muyun are the same.
and what they do will not see the light of day.
"Why did Mr. Wang visit?" Shira-namo greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Su has done a big thing, and he borrowed some manpower from me. It was the grass people who had the courage to guess some and cheat some of them, Brother Su had to ask the grass people to come to see Lord Bai, otherwise he would have to fight with me endlessly. Wang Fulin's tone was joking, but in fact it was showing an attitude.
This matter was made by him Wang Fulin, and if Bai Minghe was angry, he would have to trouble him, and he was willing to take this responsibility.
The white crane just smiled and led the two into the house.
Since Bai Minghe chose to believe in Su Muyun for this kind of thing, he would believe the person he found to help him.
"Lord Bai, the matter is done. It's just that the difference in money was not paid, because the other party came forward only a small person. Su Muyun reported to Bai Minghe that he would exchange a batch of old rice for a batch of new rice, naturally he would have to make up the price difference, and those old rice were still rice with shells, so the price difference in the middle was only the rice of Datong Mansion. and more than a hundred thousand taels of silver.
Wang Fulin also said beside him: "The silver is also ready, all snowflake silver bars!" ”
The official silver of the Ming Dynasty is all silver ingots. It is marked with the seal of the government. The silver used by the merchants was silver bars, and the silver used in large transactions was all silver bars of ten taels. Some are marked with silver marks, while others are required to be pure silver bars without any marks.
"Give it to him, and then offer to trade the part of Xuanfu again." Bai Minghe didn't even think about it, so he said directly.
"My lord, what if the other party hides the silver and is not willing to make the next transaction?" Su Muyun asked softly at the bottom.
Shira-naka had never thought about such a complicated issue.
The reason is that Daming does not have a complex legal system, and there are too many times when the elements of Daming's law and human feelings are higher than the law. As long as someone impeached, he dared to raid Wei Lizhuan's home. When the time comes, whether it can be said clearly or not, the incriminating evidence on Wei Li's turn is enough for him to die ten times.
The movement of this batch of grain is just to give the Ming Emperor a reason to be angry, a reason to kill without mercy.
"Give it to him, don't worry. The second time I traded, I'll send a few good hands to protect you, if you can get dirty and get better, if you can't, it doesn't matter. After this matter is done, Mr. Su, you will go to Tianjin Wei. He said he was doing things for me. They will protect you and ...... in the future."
After talking about the future, Shirana Crane stopped.
After thinking for a moment, he continued: "In the future, if you want to build another trading house. This officer will help you get started. If you don't want to be a business house anymore, the official needs a shopkeeper and gives you a position of three shopkeepers. ”
"Please allow the grass people to think about it and then answer."
"Good. It's not too late for you to answer me when this matter is over, but there is something ahead. Once you enter the door of my White Mansion, there is only one way for you to leave. It is carried out horizontally. "The euphemism that Bai Minghe said, in the most popular words, is that once I become the shopkeeper of Bai Minghe, you can only leave as a corpse.
This is very scary, but the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty are not timid, but follow the white name crane, which is more attractive.
"My lord, how many words does Xiaomin have that I don't know whether to ask or not?" Wang Fulin spoke at this time.
"Just ask!" Bai Minghe can probably guess what Wang Fulin wants to ask?
"Lord Bai, the Shaanxi Gang has received a promise from you. five million taels of silver for tea, cloth, and silk. As for the rest of the inside information, it must be extremely rich, because the Shaanxi businessmen couldn't make up this batch of goods, but they didn't want to lose face, so they saved their ribs from the Su Gang, and Xiaomin's father-in-law was a member of the Su Gang! ”
Ningbo gang more silk, weaving and other things. During the period of the Su Gang in the Ming Dynasty, the most was salt, followed by raw silk, and most of the fabric was given to the Ningbo Gang. The third largest business of the Su Gang, and the second strongest business in the entire Ming Dynasty, is cloth. Songjiang cloth is the business of the Su Gang, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the whole world.
The cloth of the Shandong Gang is also good, but because of the water and soil problems, as well as the character of the Shandong people, their cloth is not as fine and white as that of Songjiang.
"What do you want to ask?" Shira-naka Crane is very direct.
"My lord, I Ningbo helped 10,000 taels of silk, and there are also 3 million taels, and I can also provide about 6,000 taels of silk every year in the future, which is also nearly 2 million taels of silver. Xiaomin dared to ask on behalf of the Su Gang whether the Su Gang was qualified to prepare five million taels of goods. ”
"You're asking for the Big Ten Gang." Bai Minghe asked.
Wang Fulin knelt down on the spot: "Lord Bai, the various merchant gangs seem to be rich in the world. But who knows, the various merchant gangs are responsible for the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of families. In the case of the Su Gang, they had 1,300 looms, each of which was operated by three people, plus auxiliaries, handymen, and petty workers. That's nearly 10,000 households. Many families have only one loom, and the whole family works and can weave cotton or silk about 130 to 150 feet a day. ”
1,300 units!
Shira-naka doesn't have a very strict impression in his head.,It's going to be calculated slowly.。
However, Su Muyun is very eye-catching, and his mental arithmetic speed is also fast: "My lord, 1,300 units, based on the calculation of 40,000 feet a year, it is 50 million feet a year." The thickness of each house is different, but the number of horses is comparable, one hundred feet per horse, which is roughly calculated to be the number of 7,000 to 8,000 quintals. ”
"So little!" The white crane subconsciously responded.
This sentence also made Wang Fulin roughly understand what the Shaanxi merchant gang encountered here in Bai Minghe, originally thought it was a super large amount, but who would have thought that in the eyes of Bai Minghe, it was insignificant.
With the development of the handicraft industry under the Ming Dynasty, it is still in the bud, and there is no real big weaver.
It was the kind of family with thirty-four looms and many workers, the workshop owner.
"You just want the official to ask for your goods, this is very simple. Since the Shaanxi Gang has already spoken, it is always difficult to regret it. Then the rest of the family's worth of three million taels of goods will be sent to Hepu. Whatever you want, be it gold, silver, spices, paints, or whatever. ”
"The Shaanxi Merchant Gang is willing to be on an equal footing with us!" Wang Fulin responded.
Bai Minghe shook his head: "There is no competition between you, I'm afraid you will fool this official." As far as cloth is concerned, Songjiang cloth is better than Shandong cloth, and it is absolutely impossible to be the same price. These three million taels are just a base number, and whoever purchases more and who has less still depends on the goods. ”
"Yi qiē Yi Lord!" What else can Wang Fulin say.
The purchase value of 30 million taels a year is really scary.
Bai Minghe said again: "Wei Lizhuan's matter must be done well, after killing him." I will give the Jin Gang and the Lu Gang a chance to make a fortune. In a word, whoever stands in my way will definitely die, and whoever helps me will definitely get into trouble. Sue the two gangs of Jin and Lu, they must be dedicated to the grain transported to various places this time, and 10,000 loads of fine linen can only be more, not less. ”
"My lord, even if there is no cloth for sale in Shanxi and Shandong, this batch of cloth will be prepared for you."
Wang Fulin was ruthless, and he believed that Jin Shang and Lu Shang would also be ruthless.
"Also, go back and tell your father-in-law. By the end of the year, five hundred looms will be added. Then each merchant gang developed at least 500 new weavers, specializing in hemp weaving. Fine linen of the finest quality. ”
"My lord, Da Ming doesn't have enough raw materials!"
"The raw materials come to the official, only you can't weave it, and there is no raw material that the official can't provide. The raw materials of the dye are also provided to you in place, and the fine hemp cloth will be seen before February next year. By the way, Su Bang first said that the five hundred units added were for silk, and the fine linen was another five hundred! ”
Wang Fulin was already oozing sweat on his forehead, and as soon as Bai Minghe opened his mouth, he was the prime minister's five thousand looms, such a huge number. Where are these goods sold, is it that the white crane is going to be rounded again?
Bai Minghe took a sip of tea: "This official gives a stone of gold every year as a reward, whether it is to make a new loom, or to increase the yield of grain per mu, or to try to make a new dye, or to have a delicious new wine. The official will reward him and reward him heavily. ”
"What adults think, not our small people can know. I will do as my lord tells me. ”
"One more word to the Jiangxi Gang, before the end of the year, this official will see 100,000 materials of porcelain in Ningbo, if it is done, it will naturally be beneficial to them."
Is Shiramei Crane short of money?
This is a thought that popped up in Wang Fulin's mind at this time, Bai Minghe, as an official of the imperial court, tied all the officials in the entire capital together with his current financial resources, including those huge greed, may not be able to compare with Bai Minghe, so why is he so crazy to get goods and make money.
Bai Minghe saw through Wang Fulin's thoughts, and it was time for him to play his trump card.
Trump, not hole cards.
Bai Minghe let out a long sigh: "You don't know, it's difficult for this official." In the next year, the official will give Banzai 10 million taels of silver, and even if he really can't do it, it can't be less than 7.5 million taels. This is the loyalty of a courtier, you must know that the air defense of the north of the Ming Dynasty is weak, and you can't always let the tile spurs attack again! ”
"The grass people should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"
Wang Fulin and Su Muyun both knelt down, and Bai Minghe's words were equivalent to a hint that Bai Minghe was doing things for Long Life. These businesses are not owned by the white crane, but only by the white crane.
This backstage is too hard, no wonder no one dares to risk death to the sticky Haimao White Famous Crane to start. (To be continued......)
