Jinling, a prosperous place.

There is not only the Qinhuai River filled with silk and bamboo, but also the food from all over the world.

The north and south all converge here.

After the shopkeeper returned, he immediately asked people to send the spinning wheel and loom to the workshop for trial, and then according to the specific situation of silk, to improve.

It will soon be put into use, and it will be mass-produced, and it will strive to compete for the market that was snatched away by the Qian family.

The woolen yarn bought at a high price is bright in color and soft in texture, and incense is put along the way, which has a fresh fragrance.

The ladies of Jinling are proud to be able to buy wool thread and weave sweaters.

The ladies of the big families no longer embroider, and the clothes and decorative gadgets woven from woolen yarn are highly sought after.

The shopkeeper of Qi bought five taels of silver a catty, and when he transported it to Jinling, he actually sold it for twenty taels of silver a catty.

With such an expensive price, there is an endless stream of people buying it.

Soon, the two thousand catties of wool thread were all divided among the powerful female dependents in Jinling.

Not only that, but in order to get the yarn as soon as possible, some even gave silver as a deposit.

The shopkeeper of Qi Da calculated, just a single customer order, it was already as high as 8,000 catties. This does not include merchants from Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other prosperous places who heard the wind and came to order, up to 20,000 catties.

The shopkeeper firmly believes that as the weather continues to get colder, the demand for wool will continue to increase.

The slender and well-maintained head of the Qi family looked at the account book, and the surprise in his eyes became stronger and stronger, "The big shopkeeper deserves to be the big shopkeeper, and his eyes are vicious." Not only did I get a spinning wheel and a loom, but I also bought yarn. ”

The shopkeeper of Qi had a respectful attitude and bowed to the head of the Qi family, "The head of the family has won the award, this is the duty of the old slave." It's just that the 30,000 catties of wool that the old slave ordered before is about to be ordered, and we still need to expand the order. ”

The Qi family master's eyes lit up, "Yes, 30,000 catties is not enough, 300,000 catties can be sold this year." The big shopkeeper, when will the 30,000 catties be transported? ”

The shopkeeper of Qi replied: "I told Qi Yue over there in Zhenxiguan, if it is enough for 10,000 catties, I will let the dart bureau escort it over." It is estimated that the first batch should now be halfway through. ”

"Just as the head of the family said, we can sell 300,000 catties, so the old slave wants to order a large amount of wool with Mrs. Li."

The head of the Qi family touched his beard and nodded, "Okay, big shopkeeper, there will be silver tickets prepared here, and I have to buy more wool no matter what." ”

"Although it can be sold next year, the profit may not be as high as this year, so we must seize the opportunity."

The shopkeeper of Qi Da thought for a moment, "Master, let's do business, if we can get what we need from each other, we can do business better." ”

"What do you mean, big boss?" The head of the Qi family asked curiously, "You are the old man in the family, if you have anything to say, the big shopkeeper will say it directly." My father said that your words are the same as his words. ”

"Thank you for the uplift." The shopkeeper of Qi became more and more respectful, and arched his hand again, "The old slave went to Zhenxiguan to buy spinning wheels and looms, and he can hide it from small merchants and vendors, but he may not be able to hide it from the Qian family." ”

"Maybe the Qian family has now rushed to Zhenxiguan with the silver, and rushed to Zhenxiguan to buy wool."

"So what are you waiting for? Let's send someone quickly. Big shopkeeper, you are running back and forth, it's too hard, I'll go this time. "The head of the Qi family also wants to go to Zhenxiguan to settle the wool business and cooperate for a long time in the future.

The shopkeeper of Qi smiled and said, "Master, slow down." We want to buy wool, but Gongsun Lian doesn't necessarily want a silver ticket, I can be sure that he wants food and medicinal herbs. ”

The head of the Qi family patted his forehead, "Didn't you buy the wool from Mrs. Li?" What does it have to do with Gongsun Lian? ”

The shopkeeper replied: "At the beginning, I wanted to get the drawings of the spinning wheel and loom without spending money, but Gongsun Lian took the initiative to come to the door and support Mrs. Li. ”

"Mrs. Li is a particular person, and she will inevitably want to repay Gongsun Lian. If we have food and medicinal herbs in our hands, I can guarantee that Mrs. Li is willing to trade with us. ”

"In addition, news came from our caravan outside the customs that there was an abnormality outside, and they were worried about a big war and were rushing back."

The head of the Qi family suddenly realized, "Yes, when there is real chaos, food and medicinal herbs are much more useful than food. ”

"If we also trade with Mrs. Li with silver, in the face of the competition of the Qian family, the price will inevitably be raised. But we have the food and medicinal herbs they want, so it's different. ”

"The head of the house is wise." The shopkeeper of Qi complimented, "In our land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the most important thing is food." By the way, I also heard that Mrs. Li likes all kinds of Fanbang seeds, we have many ships here, and there are many people in Fanbang, and the old slave has been collected and bought as a gift to Mrs. Li. ”

The head of the Qi family showed appreciation. "The big shopkeeper is right. Although Mrs. Li likes Fanbang's seeds, we also want to send some of our Jinling characteristics that she can use. ”

"Rouge gouache, and some fabric gadgets, the old slave has been prepared. This time, it's still an old slave to go. First, I am familiar with the people over there, and it is easier to talk; Second, there may be war, and the identity of the head of the family is noble, and there is no room for mistakes. ”

When the head of the Qi family heard this, he was quite moved, and got up to salute the big shopkeeper Qi, "The big shopkeeper has worked hard." ”

"It's all for the prosperity of the Qi family." The shopkeeper of Qi said with a smile, if it wasn't for the old lady Qi who saved him, how could he have the dignity he has now?

Qi Dazhang used 100,000 taels of silver to buy food and medicinal materials, and with the prepared gifts, he went to Zhenxi Pass.

However, with so many supplies and the speed was slow, the shopkeeper of Qi sent someone to send a letter to Li Xiaoyue and Gongsun Lian first, informing them in case they were preempted by the Qian family.

At this Jinling Qian family, I have long heard that the shopkeeper of Qi Da is buying wool from Zhenxiguan, and the shopkeeper of Qian Da has long taken money and people and went straight to Zhenxiguan.

The woolen workshop is jointly managed by Li's second sister-in-law and Wen Xiaolan.

Li's second sister-in-law manages the female workers and the quality of the wool, and Wen Xiaolan manages the accounts.

Li Changhuan and Qin Yuyao are in charge of the dyeing workshop, and Li Changlu is in charge of the purchase of wool and net wool.

There are more than 70 workshops, 50 of which are in operation, with the capacity to place 200 spinning wheels and 100 looms.

The workshop will continue to be built, and the spinning wheels and looms made by Sun Carpenter will continue to increase, in an orderly manner.

After these things were sorted out, Li Xiaoyue was only responsible for supervising, checking the accounts, and after clearing up, she stared at her sesame seeds and cotton.

From the beginning of planting, to growth, fruiting, and all links, Li Xiaoyue did it herself.

Even the most favored Li Daya and Li Goudan, who are the most favored in the family, if they dare to come to the sesame field and cotton field to trick or treat, they will still bloom in the ass.

"Grandma, is this thing delicious?" Although Li Daya is not a big person, she knows that her grandmother is very powerful.

It must be a good thing to make grandma so attentive.

Li Xiaoyue was proud, "It's delicious, it's very delicious, it's so delicious that I can't forget it." You have shown me that no one is allowed to enter. ”

Li Daya patted her chest, "Grandma, don't worry, I will take care of the house, and I will definitely be able to guard our home." ”

Li Xiaoyue finished reading the sesame seeds and went to the cotton field next to her.

Although one-tenth died halfway through, more than ninety percent of the cotton seeds were successfully planted in one-third of the fields.

Under the exposure of the sun, the cotton boll has spit out a little white cotton wool, and after half a month, the harvest will be made.

With cotton, there are padded jackets, quilts, cotton cloths......

At this time, on the newly built corner tower of the Liu family's old mansion not far away, Liu Yunde and Fan Terrier were sneakily lying on it, peeking at Li Xiaoyue's every move.
