Chapter 203: Plan Ahead

Zeng Yutong smiled faintly and said: "Where can I talk about orders, but my second sister of the national teacher needs some spices, the quantity is relatively large, it is the Star Picking Tower for a period of time, and a grand ceremony will be held, when the time comes, you can take the national teacher's edict and go directly to the officials of the Star Picking Tower to contact." ”

After speaking, Zeng Yutong took out a post, which was Qin Mingyue's handwriting.

Zeng Siniang got this and smiled happily. The spices of the Star Picking Tower are used more than those in the palace, if the Gu family does a good job in the supply of spices this time, and hooks up with the relevant officials of the Star Picking Tower, and has Qin Mingyue as a backer in the future, then the Gu family will not have one more business channel? Where is this command, this is clearly a big pie?

Zeng Yutong looked at the sweet dates and gave them, and took out a list from his sleeve and said, "There is one more thing." Your Gu family not only supplies spices to the palace, but it is said that they also supply spices to some wealthy families, and here are some lists, including officials, families, Confucian families, nobles, and some big businessmen. Look at which ones you have dealings with, sketch them out, and in the future, you will have a copy of the news of these people, and the information they have purchased from you, and send me a copy. ”

Zeng Siniang understood that this was what the Gu family really had to do. She took it very calmly, and the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, most of the families on this list were in contact with the Gu family, or were customers of the Gu family, and they could naturally find out more or less information. However, these families basically have one thing in common, that is, the people of the Jin Dynasty.

It seems that the succession has been going on all along. Zeng Siniang didn't show any signs on her face, put away the list and said, "Fifth sister, I'll go back and discuss it with my father-in-law and father-in-law, and I'll send you back when I get back." ”

Zeng Yutong nodded. Then the two sisters gossiped a little. Zeng Siniang left. After that, Zeng Siniang had to go to her sister once every half a month, obviously to visit her sister, but in fact she was to hand over information to Zeng Yutong.

Qin Mingyue let his subordinate Xia Ming take care of these things. She has so much on hand that she can only divide some for her people to do.

No, she was meeting He Jinfang in person.

He Jinfang was wearing a light cyan robe with makeup and five blessings for longevity, a little blessed, and her complexion looked extremely good.

Qin Mingyue asked, "How is your situation in Jiangnan?" How is the Taoism in Jiangnan? ”

He Jinfang hurriedly said: "Our business has developed better this year. I have more and more weavers. However, these are far from enough, I follow your advice and divide the business, and I will give them a part of the orders for all the merchants who are willing to cooperate with me. Correspondingly, they were also taught the techniques of weaving and weaving. Of course, the top-notch technology was not handed over. It's just simple technology, Rao is so, and they are charged. For this alone, more than three million taels of silver were entered. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "It's not a bad thing to separate the technology. No one has the ability, keep the technology permanently, rather than pass it on inadvertently in the future, it is better to collect some silver and teach more partners. Besides, don't underestimate the wisdom of people. Even if you pass on the superficial technology, maybe there are talented people who will delve into even more powerful skills. ”

He Jinfang said with a smile: "The national teacher is really a god, and among the merchants I work with, there are really talented weavers, and I can figure out the colors that we don't have." I bought all of them, so now we have a lot of patterns and colors. However, we are still in short supply. It would be nice to have more skilled weavers. ”

"Speaking of which, I think this Taoism that you have asked you to do is too good. This year, Taoism in Jiangnan has sprung up. Each of the larger Taoists had a special instructor who taught the weavers. Many of them are hired from me. ”

"I used the name of the national teacher, and greeted the Taoists in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and gave them a total of about 700,000 taels of silver, and decided in advance on these students who chose to weave. After two years, these people will be trained, and I should not be short of manpower in the short term. When the time comes, we will be able to provide more silk supplies. However, I still have one more thing, a little worried? ”

Qin Mingyue asked, "What's the matter?" ”

He Jinfang said: "I am actually taking precautions, but I am now a manpower, and I am worried that the silk woven is not enough." Two years later, the weavers came in a steady supply, and the silk increased, but with so much silk, will it be unsalable? ”

Qin Mingyue said: "The supply of goods is large, and there will definitely be a day of unsalable, but in the short term, it should not be." Two years later, my side should have opened the road to the west, so that we have two places to sell the specialties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the sea trade and the sea trade route to the west. Among them, porcelain and silk of various colors will be in short supply. Take it as an example, in the Shen family's maritime trade business, the silk and silk satin sold are very rare. This is because these silk and makeup satin are in short supply in our big Zhou and in big cities like Beijing, where can there be surplus to sell overseas? ”

"Now the ones sold overseas are ordinary satin, and even the printed satin produced in Qiyang is a high-end product overseas. In the future, if the high-end silk such as makeup and silk can meet the needs of Da Zhou, we can sell it overseas. It's going to be very sought-after. By the way, although the three countries of Daxia, Dashang, and Dayu have always been hostile to us, their own textile technology is not good, and the carpets woven are okay, and there are very few exquisite satins. They also bought some makeup flowers and silk satin from the Central Plains. ”

"This is unanimously sought after by their princes and nobles. There, the price of makeup flowers and silk was ten times that of the Central Plains. I'd like to set up some caravans and trade with the three nations, and I'll sell more of your makeup and silk. Therefore, you don't need to worry about the problem of unsalable goods in the future for the time being, cultivate manpower well, establish more workshops, find more cooperative businesses, and work together to make the silk industry in Jiangnan bigger and stronger. ”

As soon as He Jinfang heard this, his heart fell, replaced by ambition, and he hurriedly said: "This is great." This time I have the bottom of my heart. Please rest assured, I will definitely do a good job in the silk business in Jiangnan. ”
