In the eighth year of Chongzhen, at the end of April.

Sichuan, Shizhu Xuanfu Division, Qingcaoba Town near the Yangtze River.

A large area of the site has been leveled here, and the diversion vehicle and the water storage embankment have been built on the side of the Yangtze River, and under the dam, with the help of the power of the water flow to drive the impeller, a row of dozens of textile machinery is driven to operate, and then the shuttle is driven to travel day and night, with the efficiency of each textile machine equivalent to three hundred weavers, weaving a large number of Shu brocade.

And these hydraulic looms from Xujiazhuang also have programmable functions, as long as the pre-designed texture, pattern, edit into the computer, can quickly weave the fabric that needs the texture and pattern, it can be said to be extremely advanced.

The price is naturally very terrifying, even if it is purchased at cost price, each textile machine will cost 20,000 silver dollars.

Qin Liangyu bought fifty units at one time.

But because of the long distance and the need to cross mountains and mountains, the transportation cost actually cost 500,000 silver dollars.

Plus 10,000 sewing machines, each cost 100 silver dollars.

as well as supporting equipment and parts.

After it was transported to the territory of the stone pillar with great difficulty.

The windfall that Qin Liangyu made with the white pole soldiers in Shanxi was basically not a penny left.

The purpose is to develop the textile and garment industry in Shizhu, bring a way of life for the people of Shizhu, and bring a road to prosperity.

So more than a year has passed, has Qin Liangyu's goal been achieved? Have the lives of the people of Shizhu been improved and lifted out of poverty?

It is naturally unlikely that poverty will be lifted out of poverty in a short period of time.

But the situation has indeed improved dramatically.

In April last year, all the equipment was in place, the water diversion truck was built, and the water storage embankment was repaired, and the stone pillar clothing company was established.

In May, the first batch of 500,000 pieces of clothing was produced, giving priority to solving the problem that some of the stone pillar people had no clothes to wear (yes, they were so poor that they had no clothes to wear), and won the gratitude of hundreds of people, and hundreds of ancestral halls were erected.

In June, the second batch of 400,000 pieces of ready-to-wear garments was sold out in Chengdu because of its excellent quality, fashionable style and moderate price, and the net profit was tens of thousands of taels.

In July, it was boycotted by cotton and silk merchants, unable to purchase raw materials, and only produced more than 100,000 ready-to-wear garments, and then fell into production, and even had to find a way to cultivate cotton on their own.

In August, the crisis continued, with losses.

In September, I had to find a loan of 300,000 silver dollars from Tianxiatong Bank to tide over the difficulties.

In October, the new cotton was listed, and there was still not much raw material to buy, so it had to compromise with the interest group operating Shu brocade in Sichuan and agreed to three conditions: first, the cloth and clothing produced by Shizhu Garment Company were not sold in Sichuan; Second, it can only be sold to Xujiazhuang, and it is not allowed to accept orders from other merchants; Third, it is necessary to accept regular supervision...... In order to survive, Qin Liangyu had to accept these humiliating terms.

In November, Shizhu Garment Company resumed production, making 1.5 million pieces of clothing that month, all of which were sold to other toasts at low prices.

In December, 1 million pieces of clothing were made, but due to insufficient orders, there was a large backlog, so they had to be distributed to the people of Shizhu for free, and each person got one or two pieces.

At the end of the year, I summed up and found that this year's profit was zero, which just made the people of Shizhu live a very warm but not very full year.

But Qin Liangyu is still very satisfied, food and clothing have been achieved, so it is not far from being full, compared to the previous life of not having enough food and clothing, this is a huge progress.

Entering the eighth year of Chongzhen, a brand new year.

Xu Zhuang owner of Xujiazhuang, after learning that Shizhu clothing company, encountered the dilemma of insufficient orders, first criticized why not said earlier, immediately placed a large order of 20 million pieces of clothing, including more than 10 million pieces of various tooling, and also sent a lot of new styles of clothing design models, let them imitate, as long as the quality is up to standard, how many to how much, will give more orders in the future.

As for the total value of the order, it is about 1.5 million silver dollars.

With a profit margin of 20% in the industry, after this list is completed, Shizhu Garment Company can earn more than 300,000 silver dollars, and there will be work for the next year.

Lived.

Now the company can finally live, and everyone is very happy.

Only Qin Liangyu shook his head and sighed: "You can rely on others for a while, but you can't rely on a lifetime, Xu Jiazhuang has helped us enough, this favor can't be too much, we are loyal to the court after all."

But in order for more than 300,000 Shizhu people to have something to eat, it was impossible for her to refuse this order.

In terms of the quality of clothes, the control is extremely strict, and no problems are allowed, which can be regarded as repaying the help given by Xujiazhuang.

Therefore, after the beginning of spring this year, the development of Shizhu can be described as a boom.

The production capacity of Shizhu Garment Company is directly full, the workers work in two or three shifts, and the textile machines and sewing machines ring all day and night.

In January and February, 2.5 million pieces of clothing were made.

In March, 3.5 million pieces of clothing were made, reaching the limit.

By the end of April, another 3 million pieces of clothing were completed, and almost half of the large orders given by Xujiazhuang were completed, which shows that in order to improve their lives, the workers of Shizhu Garment Company have burst out with unprecedented energy.

this day.

Stone Pillar Clothing Company, specialized clothing design department, fitting room.

"Husband, do you think my outfit looks good?"

Zhang Fengyi came out wearing a floral slim medium-length sleeve dress with a folded collar and a top hat, walked in front of her husband Ma Xianglin, and twisted her body to show her body curves.

Seeing his wife's dress, although the two old husbands and wives have been married for more than 20 years, and Ma Xianglin's eyes were also blind in the war, the old wife in front of him, after being set off by this dress, couldn't help but have a dry mouth, his breathing became short, and he blushed and said, "Good, good-looking, very good-looking."

"yes, what's the pretty?" Zhang Fengyi looked at the mirror, twisted her posture again, and asked.

"The top, the waist, the buttocks, the legs, all look good, and I wear this kind of clothes...... Shameless." Ma Xianglin said.

"What's shameless?"

Zhang Fengyi glared at him, crossed her hands and said, "I heard that in summer, the girls in Xujiazhuang wear it like this, and the dress is already the most conservative in spring and summer clothes, do you have the courage to go to Xujiazhuang to scold, see if you will drown in spit?" In addition, this dress is made by our company, and it is sewn by our female workers, and you say that this dress is shameless, you are insulting and belittling their labor, and you must apologize to them for admitting their mistakes, because you are living on them to make this kind of clothes."

Seeing his wife go online like this, Ma Xianglin had to slap his mouth, and immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, am I wrong? This dress is fine, it looks very good, you can wear it however you want, those who talk nonsense are shameless, they will have a rotten mouth, okay?"

"Hmph~"

Zhang Fengyi's satisfied Nunu mouth is like a winning hen, as for the purpose of wanting to wear this favorite dress home, it has naturally been achieved.

"Are you bullying my stupid son again?"

At this time, Qin Liangyu walked over with a few men, and when she saw this scene, she didn't have to guess what was going on, so she immediately teased.

"Mother~" Zhang Fengyi smiled.

"Mother, your dress today is so cool."

Ma Xianglin, who was originally shrugged, immediately cheered up and gave a thumbs up.

Because Qin Liangyu at this time was wearing a tall and cool black men's dress, with silver-white hair tied in a simple ponytail, a pair of sunglasses on his face, and high-top leather shoes under his feet, he looked extremely capable, giving people a feeling of being resolute and cool.

It can be said that in fashion, his wife Zhang Fengyi only stays at the part of setting off women's beauty, and her mother Qin Liangyu simply went further and went to the forefront of highlighting women's independent and self-reliant temperament.

"Mother, who are these?"

Ma Xianglin noticed the people who were following his mother, especially the middle-aged man with a big belly who was the leader, who was looking at his wife Zhang Fengyi with an evil gaze, and under this rude scrutiny, Zhang Fengyi frowned, turned around and went to the fitting room, and changed out of the dress on his body.

"These are the representatives of the Sichuan Shujin Chamber of Commerce, this surnamed Luo is the largest Shu cloth merchant, this ......

Qin Liangyu introduced them one by one.

Ma Xianglin had to cheer up, suppress the anger and unhappiness in his heart, and politely greeted them, but secretly hated the root of his teeth.

Shujin Chamber of Commerce!

If it weren't for the crazy suppression of this chamber of commerce, how could they encounter the problem of insufficient raw materials last year, resulting in having to give up a large number of sales markets, and they could only survive by relying on orders from Xujiazhuang.

What did they want to do when they sent someone over this time? What kind of tricks do you want to use? The Stone Pillar Clothing Company has already made huge concessions, and it is impossible to compromise anymore.

It's just that Ma Xianglin's guess is correct.

These representatives of the Shujin Chamber of Commerce, in the name of regular supervision, visited the huge sewing machine workshop and the water-powered textile machines along the river.

Deputy Luo, who was the leader, said to Qin Liangyu: "Old lady, a water-powered loom is equal to 300 ordinary Shu brocade looms, and a sewing machine is at least equal to at least 30 women who make a living by sewing.

"For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people who use Shu brocade as food and clothing, old lady, listen to my advice, stop all the textile machines by the river, that is a sharp weapon that kills people without seeing blood, if there is a lack of cloth and silk, we can supply it; In addition, starting from next month, the price of cotton and silk supplied to you by the Shu Jin Chamber of Commerce will rise by two percent, old lady, we are not deliberately making things difficult, but if we do not raise the price, it will be unfair to the people of Sichuan, and it will cut off their way of life, and the price increase is a last resort."

Hear this.

Ma Xianglin immediately retorted: "Nonsense, we are receiving orders from Xujiazhuang, and Xujiazhuang can digest these clothes internally, and it will not affect the people of Sichuan, you are a crime that you want to add, and you are deceiving people too much!"

"How did you know that Xu Jiazhuang could digest so many clothes? And Xujiazhuang is also a customer of our Shujin Chamber of Commerce, Xujiazhuang has placed more orders from you, and we have fewer orders, how can it not be affected? There is a fixed number of clothes markets in this world, and if you eat more, we will eat less, so we are not asking too much." This Luo said.

"If you want to be fair, then go to Xujiazhuang to buy textile machines and sewing machines, everyone has them, isn't it fair, why should we give up these machines?" Ma Xianglin said again.

"That's a good question, a water-powered loom is 100,000 silver dollars, and a sewing machine is 300 silver dollars, as long as your stone pillar can pay this money to help us buy it, to ensure that on top of the cotton and silk raw materials, you will no longer be restricted, and the price will be the same, we will do what we say." Representative Luo said.

"You-" Ma Xianglin angrily wanted to draw a knife and slash someone.

In the end, Qin Liangyu came over, first pushed his son Ma Xianglin aside, and said a few soft words to Representative Luo and others, saying that she would definitely consider their request and give them a clear answer in a few days.

"The old lady is still sensible, then we will wait for the old lady's reply."

Luo said, and then left with everyone with a proud face.

Wait until they're far away.

Ma Xianglin was ready to change into plate armor, go to the barracks, and dispatch three or five hundred elite white pole soldiers to kill all these profiteers!

"What are you doing, are the white pole soldiers used by you to kill the good people of the Ming Dynasty?" Qin Liangyu stopped him and scolded him harshly.

"Mother, these profiteers deceive people too much, what kind of good people are they? Kill them all, and not one of them will die." Ma Xianglin was extremely aggrieved.

"If killing them solves the problem, where is the need for you to do it? And do you know who is standing behind them? It is the king of Shu, the political envoy, the officials and nobles of Sichuan, killing them, and conspiring against the great crime, don't want to gain a foothold in this place again, then don't talk about cotton, you can't even buy a grain of grain, in Sichuan, they are the real heaven." Qin Liangyu said.

"Well, then we can't do anything?" Ma Xianglin shook his hands and stomped his feet, feeling aggrieved.

"It's not like there's no way out."

Qin Liangyu said slowly: "I have sent someone to Xujiazhuang to buy cotton seeds, which can be delivered in these two days, in addition, there are tens of thousands of people in the three counties of Linjiang, Fengdu, and Dianjiang in Zhongzhou opposite our stone pillar, and they are willing to help us plant cotton this year, if the Shu Jin Chamber of Commerce interferes again, our 10,000 white pole soldiers in Shizhu can enter the three counties in the name of bandits and defend the cotton harvest, so that in the next few months, we only need to deal with the snake and deal with the Shu Jin Chamber of Commerce, and wait until the cotton is mature in September, and the crisis will definitely be solved."

Hear this.

Ma Xianglin's eyes finally lit up, it turned out that without his knowledge, his mother had made so many big moves, and tens of thousands of people in the three counties were willing to help solve the problem of cotton raw material supply, how did this happen.

"Mother has great kindness to the people of Chungju, and now the people have come to repay the favor, the so-called one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!"

Zhang Fengyi said, during the Apocalypse, the rebels of the Ming Dynasty troubled Zhongzhou, Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers to cover the people to flee, and there were no less than 100,000 living people, but I didn't expect that more than ten years later, the people of Zhongzhou still do not forget the great kindness, and they are willing to plant cotton to relieve difficulties, which is completely worthy of this loyal word.

admired, she admired the five-body throw.

"Don't lie about it, this world belongs to Your Majesty, and the old body just wants to get some cotton and let the people of Chungju have more income."

Qin Liangyu smiled and shook his head, and even if the cotton problem is solved, will the Shu Jin Chamber of Commerce give up, and will the interest groups behind it stop there? If Shizhu Garment Company wants to develop and grow and make more profits, is it enough to solve the source of cotton raw materials? Won't you encounter any other stumbling blocks?

She didn't dare to be too optimistic, the challenge may have just begun.
