Chapter 247: Only new people can earn silver
"In this way, we believe in the emperor." Zhang Mengjie said with a smile.
"Why are you here, what's going on there?" For Zhang Mengjie's trust, Long Tingxiao was extremely happy.
"That's right, the concubine is also here to find the horseman."
Looking for Ma Fuan? Everyone looked at Zhang Mengjie in surprise.
"What is the queen looking for grass people?" The most unexpected was Ma Fuan.
"I heard Xiaohu's mother say that the owner of the family outside the horse was a cloth shop, right?" Zhang Mengjie said.
"Yes, I originally thought about opening an embroidery room, but unfortunately at that time, Yuhu was not angry and couldn't raise money, so I gave up." It can be seen that Ma Fuan is faintly regretful now.
"Can there be a line of oilcloth in the cloth village outside the horse?" Zhang Mengjie said.
"Tarpaulin? The grass people family started with oilcloth. Ma Fuan said.
"Oh, how do you say that the horsemen know how to make tarpaulin?" Zhang Mengjie said happily.
"Yes." Mafuan Road.
"Great!" Zhang Mengjie was very happy about this accident.
"Jie'er, what's wrong?" Regarding Zhang Mengjie's treasure-like move, Long Tingxiao asked.
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing for the people of Mincheng to exempt the people of Mincheng from grain and grass for a year, but it is a bad thing for the imperial court. Without the grain and grass in Mincheng, what will the millions of soldiers and horses in the imperial court eat? If you can't do it in Dragon City, you can only rely on other city-states. In layman's terms, you can only buy grain and grass from other city-states. Since it is to buy, it needs silver taels, and the grain and grass of a million soldiers and horses is not a small amount, even if the court can get it, you should know the consequences without the concubines. ”
"But what does this have to do with the fact that the horsemen know how to make tarpaulin?" Long Tingxiao said.
"Your Majesty. Do you think raincoats and rain jackets can play a role in dealing with floods? "The rain jacket is the one that was modified by the raincoat cut by Zhao Meiren, Zhang Mengjie was afraid that there would be something sharp and hard in the water and did not dare to let the soldiers wear it directly, so let them wear it outside the shoes, and the rain jacket was also derived from this.
"Of course, I don't know if it's the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, it's me and Ziheng, and my brother also thinks that the raincoat is much more convenient to wear than the robe. It's also much more efficient. Long Tingxiao said.
"If you can let the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army do this, let alone ordinary people, right?" Zhang Mengjie said.
"You want to make it and sell it?" Long Tingxiao finally knew Zhang Mengjie's intentions.
"Well, of course, the most important thing is to sell to other city-states, if only to Dragon City. The loss of the imperial court is still borne by the people of Dragon City. That might not be a good thing for Dragon City. We stayed in Yuncheng for a while, and Yuncheng is the only way for many merchants in various cities and countries, and I believe that the matter of raincoats has been rumored. Besides, even if other cities don't know how good this raincoat is, the people of Bian City in Yusha Country will always know it, right? Anyway, sooner or later, we will have to cooperate with the jade yarn country about silk. Then it's better for us to cooperate with the Jade Yarn Country first. If you want to earn it, you will also earn the money of other cities. Zhang Mengjie said informatively.
"If the Eighth Prince knew that you were cooperating with them to earn the silver of their Jade Yarn Country. I wonder what he thinks? Long Tingxiao said this, but his heart was already happy.
"My brother still settles the score! If the Jade Yarn Country wants to figure out the matter of cooperating with Dragon City, the silk satin. Isn't it trying to earn money from Dragon City? People's hearts are selfish, let alone the emperor's house. At most, the concubines agreed to give him a set of raincoats for free for the sake of Yusha Kingdom's propaganda for Longcheng. Thinking of Yu Xilang's simplicity and friendship with her, although Zhang Mengjie felt ashamed, she also felt that she was not too much to do.
There were some consequences of the grain and grass matter, and Long Tingxiao also thought of it. He is also anxious. Unexpectedly, Zhang Mengjie felt warm in his heart when he saw Zhang Mengjie's appearance of protecting calves than he thought, if it weren't for so many people, Long Tingxiao really wanted to love her well.
"Does the queen mean to sell ready-to-wear clothes?" Mafuan Road.
"Yes, do you have any ideas outside the horse?" Seeing Ma Fuan's excited appearance, Zhang Mengjie felt that there must be something hidden in his heart.
"The grass people were just an accident, in fact, the grass people also had this idea, since they opened a cloth village, why not make ready-to-wear clothes and sell them, but they felt that this idea was too new so they changed it to an embroidery house." Mafuan Road.
Zhang Mengjie felt that she had really found the right person: "Only Yixin can make money, I wonder if Ma Yuanwai is willing to be the shopkeeper of this Yixin?"
"The queen wants the grass people to do this?" There is no one who does not want to leave regrets, and Ma Fuan is no different. Zhang Mengjie undoubtedly gave him the opportunity to realize his dream.
"I want the horse to go to the capital with us, as the emperor said, the spur will return to the capital when the time comes, you might as well wait for him in the capital. Presumably you don't want Ma Xiaohu and Ma Xiaoyu to disown this father, and you are like this, do you think you can wait until the spurs come back? Zhang Mengjie said.
"Okay, the grass people will go to the capital with you." Ma Fuan finally made up his mind.
"That's good, when the horse goes to the capital, you can first find Steward Lin, Steward Lin has been in the capital for so many years, presumably he knows very well where the capital is the most lively, where is suitable for Kaibu Village and Garment Village. I will give you the silver of the cloth village and the garment village when it arrives in the capital, and if it becomes yours and I will divide it into thirty or seventy. Zhang Mengjie said.
"This is all the idea of the queen's mother, the grass people don't dare to ask for so much, just ask the family to have something to eat." When Zhang Mengjie asked him to find Lin Youzhi, Ma Fuan understood what Zhang Mengjie meant, as a businessman, how could he not know the importance of connections and dependence.
"If it is done, I am the one who will give the money, but you will be the one who will help, not to mention that you still have the skill of oilcloth. Let's see the results of this raincoat first, and if we can, we will make other ready-to-wear garments. Zhang Mengjie said.
"The grass people listen to the queen." Mafuan Road.
"Your Majesty, do you think this matter is feasible?" Without Long Tingxiao's nod, it was a bit out of place to cooperate with other city-states.
"Jie'er thinks it's okay." This is to help him fill the treasury, and he is too happy to object.
"In this case, we might as well go and greet the Fifth and Eighth Princes first, and by the way, let them bring the matter of the raincoat to the Jade Monarch." Zhang Mengjie said.
"It's okay, it's almost dinner time, if it weren't for the Eighth Prince's intention to say goodbye to you in person before leaving, they would have returned to Bian Cheng early in the morning." Long Tingxiao said.
"Ahh Didn't the concubines delay their handling of the drought? Zhang Mengjie said with some guilt.
"No, the cooperation between Longcheng and them has ended, and there is no need for the five princes to stay in Bian City, otherwise the five princes would not agree to come to Mincheng so easily. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't arrived in Bian Cheng yet, and they can't leave yet. Long Tingxiao said.
Zhang Mengjie felt better in her heart. In fact, it was not only Yu Xiyao and Yu Xilang, Long Tingxiao originally planned to leave Mincheng today and start his journey back to Beijing, but seeing Zhang Mengjie sleeping so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake her up, so he simply didn't leave.
