Chapter 308: Wool Textile Manufacturing Bureau
"Teaching to the people?" The emperor's eyes widened, this was completely inconsistent with Bai Tang's temperament. "Are you willing?"
The grandson was full of admiration. Baitang has the world in his heart! Heroine in the middle of the woman!
Bai Tang smiled bitterly. How many young girls does he have to recruit to meet the demand for sweaters across the country? It's not worth it, and it's not his purpose. It is enough to grasp the entry of wool. At most, let the weaver girl study more weaving methods every year, and hold a wool fabric conference like Huaben, earn money for technology and patents, and forget the rest.
"Your Majesty. Ordinary people also mostly buy cotton cloth and cotton jackets by themselves. Wool can also be promoted in the same way. At least it saves a lot of money on knitting. ”
The emperor was greatly moved: "Baitang is really seeking benefits for the people!" ”
King Zhao's heart was dripping blood. obviously wanted to pit a handful of white begonia, but it turned out to be a fulfillment for him. At this time, he realized the helplessness and hatred of King Han for Bai Tang.
Bai Tang smiled: "Your Majesty praises. Baitang is also selfish. He smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's the business of this wool, can you let Bai Tang get a piece of the pie?" ”
As long as you have wool resources in hand, even if every household has a spinning wheel, you can buy wool spinning thread. But he is sure that the price of wool will be reduced to the price that everyone is willing to buy ready-made wool!
"Good!" The emperor struck the final word. "I'll leave it to you!"
He really didn't have anything to worry about Baitang. The previous Wuzigang shocked the envoys of various countries, and the new musket he and Zheng He researched was also successful. Even if the wool business made him some money, so what?
He couldn't suppress his laughter: "Jiangnan Weaving is afraid that it will not have time to study wool." Why don't you build a wool textile manufacturing bureau in Beijing? ”
The grandson immediately said: "The emperor's grandfather is wise! ”
There is a weaving bureau that oversees the wool industry throughout the country, not to mention anything else, at least it can control the breeding of sheep all over the country, so as not to let traders buy low and sell high, affecting the price of wool.
The prince couldn't help asking: "This, who is more suitable for the weaving of the Wool Textile Manufacturing Bureau?" ”
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but shoot to Bai Tang. King Zhao gritted his teeth so hard that the roots of his teeth hurt, and he smiled reluctantly: "If you say who is the most suitable, it is naturally Lian Gongzi." It's just that Lian Gongzi is still white, if he suddenly takes on this heavy responsibility, it seems a little inappropriate? ”
Bai Tang also said humbly: "Exactly." Your Majesty, the wool was woven in one fell swoop, and it was not Bai Tang's credit. First, King Zhao was sympathetic to the people, and second, His Majesty ordered the people to brainstorm, which made Baitang choose a bargain. Your Majesty, in the Mulberry Garden Weaving Workshop, Shen Wenlan, the son of the original Suzhou weaving, and the two sisters of the Xu family, the former flower picking master in Jiangnan, have made great contributions. Shen Wenlan solved the problem of spinning, and the Xu sisters solved the problem of wool weaving. Bai Tang didn't dare to be greedy. ”
King Zhao had nothing to say. Straight this son is cunning!
The emperor laughed: "Shen Wenlan ......" He touched his scarf and thought for a moment, and asked, "Is his father Shen Weiqing still in Qiongzhou?" ”
The prince's eyes lit up, and he bowed and said, "Yes." ”
"Bring him back." The emperor stroked his beard, "He continues to do his weaving, and Bai Tang will be your imperial merchant." I'm looking forward to it! ”
After speaking, he looked at Bai Tang deeply and regretted it. If it's a man, just a weaver is nothing! With so much credit from him, he has been sealed!
My heart moved, and I waited for Bai Tang? Then he shook his head, how could there be a woman waiting. Looking at Bai Tang's suave man's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a toothache for Xu San: How can this kid do it?
Baitang does not seek fame. After solving the major affairs of the Shen family, he asked for a reward for the Xu family sisters. One by one, it was written into the holy decree, and the prince himself went to the mulberry garden with the reward to issue the decree.
At this time, the families of the two sisters of the Xu family had already entered the Zhengyang Gate and came to the gate of the Mulberry Garden in the outer city.
After Sister Xu's family read her letter, they didn't say a word, packed up their salutes and dragged their family to Beijing. The second sister's newlywed husband Jun had a handsome face at this time, and the third sister didn't live on the side to comfort him: "Second brother-in-law, don't be angry, talk to her after seeing my sister." She will always change her mind when she thinks of your husband and wife. ”
Yan Xu's expression was slightly softened, and he sighed: "Alas, I hope it's only her impulsive." ”
Xu Sanmei looked at her brother-in-law's handsome face, and the rabbit in her heart bumped into each other, and couldn't help but say, "Second sister is not impulsive." I tried to persuade her all night, but she was unmoved. ”
Yan Xu said coldly: "If this is the case, my Yan family doesn't need such a woman who doesn't abide by women's morals!" ”
Xu Sanmei didn't look over, biting her lip and not daring to speak. Unexpectedly, his voice was too loud for his eldest brother-in-law Qi Yu to hear. Deng Shi turned his head and glared at them, "What did your brother-in-law say?" Is it not a woman's way for a woman to work outside? The sea of women who don't abide by women's morals under the sky is gone! He glanced at the third sister again, "Third sister, can you put down the flower book after you get married?" ”
The third sister hurriedly said: "You can pick flowers and do them at home." Why do you need to go out and show your face to be criticized? ”
Qi Yu snorted: "Then why did you follow your eldest sister and second sister to Beijing to participate in the Flower Conference?" You should stay at home for the rest of your life! ”
The third sister blushed and wanted to cry.
Yan Xu said with a straight face: "Brother Qi's words are biased. My Yan family is also a scholarly disciple. Since Lingzhi married me, he should strictly abide by the way of women. She left her husband behind, did not honor her in-laws, and went out to work. I'm divorced, and she should too! ”
Qi Yu glared sharply: "Divorce your wife?" Then he sneered, "Okay." I'll wait to see who's on who's off! ”
Yan Xu spoke, and he also regretted it a little. But he had a good face, turned his head and ignored him angrily. scolded in his heart: Merchant's home, what insight can you have!
Alas, if I knew this, I didn't covet the craftsmanship of Lingzhi and the rich dowry to marry her in the first place.
The third sister didn't dare to pick any more, and silently bowed her head and entered the garden.
Qi Yu's two sons are both eleven or twelve years old, and when they saw the beautiful scenery of the mulberry garden, they spread their legs and ran, shouting as they ran: "Dad, Dad, this is so beautiful here!" ”
Yan Xu was stunned: From this garden, it can be seen that the boss here is a rich man! The anger on his face subsided slightly, and he looked around.
"Dad, the pool here can spray water, it sprays so high!"
Qi Yu smiled from ear to ear: "No wonder your mother refuses to come back." This place is beautiful! ”
Yan Xu covered his surprise and asked, "Third sister, what is the origin of this Lian Baitang?" ”
The third sister's lips pursed: "He, he is the boss of Songzhu Zhai." ”
"I know." Yan Xu frowned, "Songzhu Zhai is also famous. But how can this garden be built by him as a bookstore owner? ”
The third sister also knows that Bai Tang has a good relationship with the palace. But she deliberately concealed it in front of Yan Xu. At this time, I had to shake my head and say, "I don't know." ”
"Mother, mother, we're here, where are you!"
In front of the weaving workshop in the mulberry garden, there is a row of strong guards.
"Little baby, this is a mulberry garden, you can't break in!"
Sister Xu and her son had a heart, faintly heard the child's cry, and said in surprise: "It's my son's voice!" "Put down the spinning wheel and run out.
The eldest brother-in-law's family has arrived, and the second sister is inevitably worried, her husband should also come, right?
As the mother of the owner of the workshop, Bai Tang was not there, so he naturally got up and said, "Let's go, pick someone up." ”
The second sister felt a little relieved.
