Zhu Jingyuan stayed with his grandfather Zhu Zhongliang Bishui Garden for many days, and it was troublesome for the officials and shopkeepers of Mengxian County to report often.

Zhu Jingyuan considered returning to live in the castle next to the county office.

Zhu Zhongliang didn't have much interest in an ordinary garden like Bishui Garden, so he simply followed his grandson to the castle.

On this morning, after Zhu Jingyuan chatted and walked with the old emperor, he wrote some of his own thoughts.

In the afternoon, two staff members were called to discuss the problems that had been recently discovered.

Zhu Jingyuan took Lin Zexu's report, in fact, he had already read it roughly before, and now when he turned to the information he summarized again, Zhu Jingyuan still couldn't help but feel complicated.

Chu Yuqiang did a great job in Tessie's product promotion.

Although rayon and elastic silk are Zhu Jingyuan's inventions, pantyhose are Chu Yuqiang's creation.

Based on his understanding of Tessie's clothing system, Chu Yuqiang directly solved the pain points that have plagued Tessie's men's clothing for hundreds of years.

Then, seizing the time when rayon and elastic silk were still completely monopolized by the big food country, they launched an all-round coverage of high-intensity luxury propaganda aimed at the entire middle and upper class of Taixi.

In a newspaper aimed at the aristocracy, it was stated that "the seams and lacing between the tight shorts and stockings may become a symbol of the declining family, as the other nobles have begun to enjoy the ultimate luxury of shorts and stockings in the same way as His Royal Highness Prince Shire!" ”

"You may not be a good candidate for investing while still wearing traditional stockings and tight shorts, you don't see a huge market full of potential, and you don't have a network of people who can always remind you of fashion and investment trends." ”

In a newspaper aimed at civil servants and shopkeepers, he said, "The man who doesn't wear pantyhose today may soon be middle-class, and he may lose out to his competitors because he doesn't dress properly when it comes to business." ”

In a newspaper aimed at the working class, it said, "Pantyhose is the best ladder for you to integrate into the middle and upper classes, the best bridge and link between all social classes, and to put it bluntly, it keeps you from being excluded from the rich." ”

In a newspaper for intellectuals, it said, "Compared with crude cotton and linen textiles, rayon and elastic silk are the future clothing materials of mankind that represent technology, and pantyhose are the crystallization of the splendid civilization and the latest technology of China and the perfect fusion of Europa tradition." ”

In a newspaper for conservatives, it said, "The cotton of the United States is the dirtiest, lowly humanoid beast harvested by the Moren slaves, rayon is the latest invention of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the most noble prince of the Ming Dynasty, the wisdom and painstaking efforts of the most civilized Ming craftsmen, and the rayon pantyhose make your posture perfect, and life without it is flawed." ”

In the newspaper for new women, it said, "Rayon is the invention of His Royal Highness Prince Daishi, pantyhose include pants, but also socks, pants are the exclusive clothing of conservative Tessie men, but socks are worn by women, this all-in-one costume can be used as a tool and symbol for sisters to gradually pursue equal rights, so let's go out in pantyhose together!" ”

Except for the last one, the others are basically propaganda aimed at men.

This is a matter of course in this day and age as a matter of course and state as well as a matter of course.

Zhu Jingyuan's stockings trend in his previous life was of course aimed at women.

Because the stockings invented during World War II only appeared more than a hundred years after the Tessie men did not wear stockings.

Chu Yuqiang's pantyhose in this world were invented when Tessie men wore tight shorts and stockings.

So of course, this trend is blowing in the circle of men, but by the way, it is a test of women's needs.

Men's consumption may not be as diverse as women's in many cases.

But there are a lot of near-rigid needs in the range of male consumption.

Formal wear, pocket watches, belts, boots, hats, pens, if you want to be classy, all come at a high price.

Now Chu Yuqiang's propaganda binds pantyhose to the identity of the middle and upper classes, and to the middle class and civil servants.

The new Ming-style formal wear designed by Zhu Jingyuan was stuffed into the list of just needs of the Taixi aristocracy and office men.

And the aristocracy and the middle and upper class have made wearing pantyhose a trend, so that the middle and lower classes instinctively continue to follow the trend.

Women also fell quickly, which made Chu Yuqiang a little surprised, but Zhu Jingyuan felt normal.

Stockings are not only able to attract men, but also to women, and they are women's clothes in their last life.

Now in many big cities of Tessie, people with and without money, men and women, young and old, are pursuing pantyhose.

Zhu Jingyuan can only say that Chu Yuqiang, this kid is really a fucking talent.

Using Tessie's public opinion propaganda tools, he kidnapped the thinking of most of Tessie's society.

Let an invention that is not very important in itself gradually become an indispensable prop that reflects identity, and become a clothing style pursued by most society.

Of course, this has created considerable profits for itself, but it has also created some management problems.

The workers in their own factories can earn a few silver bills, or even a dozen silver bills, as long as they move their hands and walk a few steps.

Therefore, incidents of reselling welfare commodities and smuggling and reselling commodities and raw materials have emerged one after another.

As the industrial zone continues to expand and develop, the amount and frequency continue to rise.

Now it has reached the point where Lin Zexu does not dare to assert himself and has to ask for his own opinion.

Zhu Jingyuan took a look at Lin Zexu's statistics on reselling, reselling, and smuggling incidents:

"So, the situation is already very serious, can't you control it on the factory side?"

Lin Zexu nodded with a serious expression and said:

"The price of benefits given by His Royal Highness to employees is too low, especially the special commodity of rayon pantyhose.

"On the Tessie's side, a hundred silver bills are equivalent to a pair of pantyhose, worth a hundred grams of gold.

"Workers buy it back at welfare prices and sell it for several times the profit, and few people can resist the temptation.

"The key is that the vast majority of workers buy in the park's product stores in a way that complies with the regulations.

"The places where they sell are varied, and any orchid and merchant can be a buyer.

"And too many workers are involved, and if there is really a need to strictly arrest and punish them, the scope of influence is too great.

"Many production lines may have to be shut down, which is very uneconomical to calculate in terms of revenue and loss.

"Pantyhose is one of the most typical, the largest price difference of the commodity representative, other welfare goods resale peers exist.

"At the same time, we have found a total of 19 cases of stealing and reselling stretch silk raw materials, various rayon blended fabrics, and even bundles and boxes of finished elastic silk garments, including pantyhose.

"According to the sales price of the corresponding finished product, the amount involved has exceeded 100,000 silver bills.

"Even according to our production costs, thousands of silver bills have been lost.

"This kind of reselling of raw materials within the factory, reselling fabrics and finished products from warehouses and workshops in batches, we can also investigate and arrest relatively accurately, and we can also decisively make severe punishments, although the situation is more serious, but it is barely controllable.

"But if you want to stop regular workers from selling employee benefits, you can't stop the benefits altogether."

Zhu Jingyuan listened with mixed feelings.

In the final analysis, the profits of elastic silk goods are too terrifying.

Even ordinary elastic silk fabrics and commodities have at least ten or even twenty times the profit from the manufacturer to the sales market.

Even if there are two hands in between, each merchant will have more than three times the profit, which can make people risk their lives.

After four hands in between, each merchant still has double the profit, which is still the level of lawlessness.

The pantyhose, which was seized by Chu Yuqiang and worked hard to publicize, had nearly a hundred times the profit.

Even if you get from the factory to Tessie six times, each merchant still has double the profit.

Now this thing is probably the most terrifying legal commodity at the moment.

Zhu Jingyuan thought carefully for a long time, looked at the report and frowned slightly, and said:

"Now, a large number of workers already know the difference between the internal and external prices of these commodities, and the gap between the cost and the market price.

"What if...... Will my complete abolition of the welfare goods exacerbate the reselling and smuggling of silk and fabrics? ”

Lin Zexu couldn't help frowning when he heard this:

"This ...... It is very likely that His Highness has thought it through, but now the situation is really serious, and the students think that they must already act to the extent that they have to do something......"

Niu Jian, who was next to him, thought for a while, and then tried to say his thoughts:

"Your Highness, illegal smuggling and illegal reselling must be driven by excess profits.

"Once the profit decreases and the risk increases, the related activity will definitely weaken.

"We might as well lower the market price and expand the scale of sales, so that the revenue will not decrease, but may even increase.

"The production of rayon and elastic is growing very fast, and the production cost of the entire product line is constantly decreasing.

"If nothing else, the cost of pantyhose with 20% stretch silk will soon be reduced to less than 500 copper bills.

"At the same time, we will increase the selling price of employee benefit stores and narrow the gap between the market price and the welfare price.

"I'm in favor of canceling this welfare commodity, and the women of the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding feudal countries are not interested in this kind of clothing.

"Most of them are taken to go out for resale, and even many workers are contacted by merchants who have been resold outside, only to know that there is this thing that can easily make a lot of money.

"On the basis of such control, we will continue to increase the intensity of investigation and punishment actions, arrest and severely crack down on a group of illegal reselling personnel from time to time, and repeatedly publicize it as a model for punishment.

"Although it is impossible to say that scalping and smuggling are completely stopped in this comprehensive implementation, it will certainly be able to reduce the scale.

"In general, it is to channel market demand while controlling the flow channels, and the two-pronged approach."

Zhu Jingyuan listened and nodded slowly.

As long as there are profits, there are excess profits, it is impossible to eradicate smuggling and reselling.

Even if there is no profit in the thing itself, there will be people who use theft, embezzlement, etc., to resell raw materials and products.

Zhu Jingyuan does not have the illusion that everyone is conscientious and selfless, and he can't do it himself.

Even the two staff members in front of him don't care if they are completely incorruptible.

Taking advantage of their position to create some additional benefits for themselves and their loved ones within the scope of non-violations, this is a gray area that cannot be eliminated.

Zhu Jingyuan is very calm and only pursues controllability.

Lin Zexu took the initiative to single out this kind of thing, which shows that he did not completely let go of making money and did not take the opportunity to make black money.

Gray is fine, black is not.

This is almost Zhu Jingyuan's bottom line.

Zhu Jingyuan also believes in them, such a young and good young man, and he still follows his promising prince.

It's impossible to bury a great future for the sake of crazy money.

Regarding the current situation in the factory, Zhu Jingyuan also has a similar attitude.

Pursue a manageable situation.

We should start from both the market and the smuggling channels, control the scale of smuggling and reselling as much as possible, and maintain the profits of normal channels.

While Zhu Jingyuan was thinking about it in his heart, Lin Zexu's secretary knocked on the door and entered the conference room.

walked up to Lin Zexu and whispered a few words in his ear.

Lin Zexu was obviously a little surprised after hearing this:

"And that kind of thing?"

Zhu Jingyuan also asked curiously:

"What happened?"

Lin Zexu immediately conveyed:

"There was a female worker who came to report that there were clerks in the big food clothing firm who were taking the initiative to buy welfare goods in the factory.

"But...... She also turned herself in, and she had already sold her things to the clerk.

"And...... The money she earned from selling things was almost spent. ”

Zhu Jingyuan smiled a little unexpectedly and said:

"Has no one ever reported and turned themselves in before? Do you still need to inform you of this kind of thing? ”

Lin Zexu immediately explained:

"There are quite a few workers who have been reported, so we have counted a lot of information.

"But after selling herself, she turned herself in, and today this female worker is really the first.

"And this female worker is more special, she is a Japanese woman, but she is wearing a new Ming-style formal dress designed by Your Highness.

"The money from the sale was not only to buy a bicycle, but then two sets of clothes from a big food company."

At the same time, Lin Zexu also asked his secretary to come over and handed two simple instructions to Zhu Jingyuan here.

It contains basic personal and family information about Aoxue, as well as the events that have been registered since her arrival in Meng County.

What was his identity before he came, who was in his family, when he arrived in Mengxian County, and where he lived.

What work was arranged, what punishment was received, what rewards were received, etc.

Zhu Jingyuan heard Lin Zexu's introduction, and looked at the woman's information, and the whole person was obviously stunned.

Although Lin Zexu didn't say it directly, the potential meaning had already been hinted at.

A woman who takes the initiative to buy and wear clothes of her own design may be of interest to you.

For Lin Zexu's secretary, he felt that this might be more worthy of a special report than the characteristics of "sole surrender".

Zhu Jingyuan was indeed a little curious about this and girl, and even the whole person became solemn:

"Bring her here, I'm going to ask her something."

Lin Zexu and his secretary immediately agreed, and at the same time invariably muttered in their hearts:

"That's ...... so"

However, Zhu Jingyuan's own thinking is not in the same direction as his two staff members at all.

Zhu Jingyuan thought of his special identity.

Now this and the female Aoxue took the initiative to buy typical modern clothes designed by herself, which made people have to wonder.

This woman named Aoxue can't be a traverser.

Other women in and around China have always been insensitive to the clothes they designed.

Hardly anyone can accept those clothes directly, let alone go out in them.

In addition, there was already Emperor Zhu Cihong in front of this world, and now he has himself.

At this time, if a third traverser appears, he doesn't dare to say that it is completely impossible.

Emperor Shizu and himself have invented so many things and changed so much history, and they are extremely well-known.

If this Aoxue is also a traverser, he must already know his identity as a traverser.

Now I have come to the yamen to turn myself in, and I may even want to see myself, and I want to be taken care of or communicated with myself.

The content of her registration information is very simple, the most obvious one is that she has been locked up.

On the morning of the second day in Linxian County, because he cried with his mother in the dormitory, he was imprisoned in a small black room by the dormitory manager for a day and a night.

Then it's time for the evaluation in study and work.

It is said that people are very smart, flexible with their hands and feet, and learn things quickly.

The relationship with the manager, master, and colleagues is also very good, and it is considered suitable for training as a grassroots manager.

In short, it was highly evaluated, and I got a salary of 20 yuan in silver bills in the first month.

Looking at it this way, it seems that a very dexterous and sensible girl, why was she locked up in a small dark room because of a quarrel with her mother?

I didn't figure out the situation after being crossed, so I got into trouble with my mother?

Or was it crossed when Guan Xiaohei was crossed, so his personality changed a lot after that?

In any case, the impact of the traverser is enormous, and even if it is only a suspected traverser, it must be treated as carefully as possible.

Now that she's at her disposal, she's going to have to call over and check it out.

The only question is how to confirm yourself.

The simple code may not be accurate, too many sassy words have been used by Emperor Shizu, and the people of this world may be full of codes.

The key is that the other party is still a woman, and the code of a man and a woman is likely to not match.

At the same time, Lin Zexu's secretary went back to call Ao Xue, and after Lin Zexu and Niu Jian glanced at each other, they got up together and said goodbye:

"Your Highness, there are still some things in the yamen and the park, let's deal with them first."

"Your Highness, I still have some data on my side that needs to be re-calculated and evaluated."

Zhu Jingyuan was a little surprised, and he didn't react at once, why did the two of them say goodbye.

But if that woman is really a traverser, she has to talk to her alone, and it is best that there are no outsiders on the scene.

Don't worry about your own safety, before the woman comes in, she must let Chunxiang and Dongmei search them first.

He has the physique to participate in military training since he was a child, and he always carries a usable firearm close to him, so it is impossible for a weak woman with bare hands to be injured.

So Zhu Jingyuan didn't say anything, and nodded directly to signal that the two of them could go and get busy.
