Playing almost over, Li Qing began to reorganize the weaving bureau.

The first thing to do is to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs and apply for a grant.

"How much does it cost?" Tobe Shangshu asked, "What is it used for?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, just give the money." Li Qing took out Zhu Qizhen's handwriting, "This is specially allowed by the emperor, first come 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Why don't you grab it? Hubu Shangshu shook his head, "It's not Jingshi here, and Hubu doesn't have that much money." ”

"Hehe," Li Qing sneered, "Na Cheng, I'll play the emperor." ”

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Li Qing complained if he didn't agree with him, the old Shangshu softened suddenly, and said: "With such a large amount, the household department can't take it out for a while, so let's allocate 50,000 yuan first, and then the official will find a way." ”

Play a compromise trick with me...... Li Qing said directly: "Zhang Shangshu doesn't have to be embarrassed, I will play the emperor." ”

“…… Well, here you go. Hubu Shangshu's face was full of black lines, "Come with this official." ”

…

Li Qing couldn't take away 100,000 taels of silver, so he still stored it in the household department.

However, the silver has been transferred from the household to the account of the Weaving Bureau, so there is no need to worry about ripping the skin again, Li Qing can take it as he wants.

After the problem of money was solved, Li Qing began to work in a big way.

At the beginning, the weaving bureau was set up by Li Qing, and he was familiar with it, repairing looms, recruiting workers, and buying raw silk...... Do it methodically.

Such a big action can't be hidden from people, only half a moon is in time, and everyone in Jinling is already known to the officials and the rich gentry.

When Li Qing talked about cooperation with Sannong and silkworm farmers, these upper-level people could no longer sit still.

What the court wants to do, they can't see it.

Obviously, it is by no means a simple trade with Japan, and looking at this posture, it is obvious that it is to regain access to the West.

Since the imperial court gave up maritime trade, these big families have been making a lot of money, and such a big gap has cheapened them.

There are people in the court, they have money, the route map to the West, and the shipwrights and workers of the imperial court's treasure ships have been poached by them for endorsement, and the current rich gentry have the ability to cross the Western Ocean to do trade.

Especially in the past two years, their assets have grown by leaps and bounds, and their income in one year has caught up with the accumulation of more than ten years before, and they have tasted such a big sweetness, they naturally will not give it up.

But Li Qing is a Qincha, and they can't do anything.

Although these rich gentry are greedy, their brains are still sober, and Qin Cha can't move if he wants to, and the involvement is too great.

However, they are not out of the question.

Soon, Li Qing encountered resistance.

The mulberry farmers and silkworm farmers who had promised to cooperate before all changed their hexagrams, and the reason was very simple, the rich gentry bid higher.

In just over ten days, the price of raw silk has risen by seventy.

It is like a rocket to rise, and the rising mulberry farmers and silkworm farmers are full of joy.

The people don't have such a high consciousness, so naturally whoever bids high will do it.

In this regard, Li Qing has no good way.

If it weren't for the original implementation of the imperial court, at least half of these people's fields would have been annexed by the rich gentry, but Li Qing was not morally good at kidnapping the people.

Everyone has the right to pursue profits and pursue a high-quality life.

Fortunately, Li Qing has already acquired some raw silk, which can be used by the Weaving Bureau for a while.

Finally I was able to start working.

However, these raw silk can only last for a few months, and after the work is over, it will face the situation that the raw materials are exhausted and have to be stopped.

"Lord Qincha, since the soft ones can't work, let's come to the hard ones." Xiao Liuzi, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch in the hall, said, "It's just a group of people, give them face, they have to sell it, and they have to sell it if they don't sell it." ”

Jinyi Wei Baihu interjected: "Father-in-law, what if there is a mess?" ”

"Oh, stupid," Xiao Liuzi said, "Why are you Jinyi Wei eating, don't look at how powerful this group of people are, as soon as you use means, they will wilt immediately." ”

The hundred households in brocade clothes stopped talking and looked at Li Qing.

"It's not going to work." Li Qing said categorically, "The Qincha represents the emperor, and if we do this, we will damage the emperor's reputation, how can we trap the emperor for injustice?" ”

Hearing Li Qing say this, although Xiao Liuzi was unwilling, he also shut his mouth stupidly, it was a matter of the emperor's face, and he didn't dare to take risks.

The power of the eunuchs came from the emperor, and the preservation of the emperor was their first priority.

Otherwise, the end result will be kicked away.

Mo said that he was a eunuch in the court, that is, Wang Zhen, the eunuch who was in charge of the celebrant and the eunuch who held the seal, and it was also a matter of one sentence if the emperor wanted to get him.

"What then?" Xiao Liuzi said with a bitter face, "Lord Qincha, you have to think of a way, the emperor is so important, we can't let the emperor down!" ”

You are a eunuch, and you are quite ambitious...... Li Qing rubbed his brows, "Let's let the workshop open first, and then I'll think of a way, let's go." ”

"Hey, okay." Xiao Liuzi nodded, walked a few steps, and turned around again, "Lord Qincha, you can't do it to the people, you can always do it to the rich gentry, right?" ”

Li Qing smiled and asked, "What is my father-in-law's opinion?" ”

"These rich gentlemen, none of them are good." Xiao Liuzi said compassionately, "Find a reason to get them, and if you can't find it, make a reason." ”

"No." Li Qing shook his head.

"My lord, you are a Qincha, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Liuzi said unwillingly, "With the emperor's support, they are just a businessman, and they dare to fight with the officials?" ”

Li Qing was too lazy to fight with him, it seemed to be a fight between officials and businessmen, but in fact it was a fight between officials and officials, the local rich gentry and the local officials were like wearing a pair of pants, and Nanzhili was not an ordinary place, if he was not careful, he would make trouble again.

finally calmed down, Li Qing didn't want to make waves again.

Breaking the rules can certainly take temporary benefits, but after all, it is not the best policy, and it will bring a strong backlash.

Winning within the conventions is a real victory.

"Fight the price war...... Li Qing racked his brains to think of a way to break the game, and suddenly, he thought of something and beckoned: "Father-in-law comes over with his ears." ”

Xiao Liuzi stepped forward suspiciously, and after listening to Li Qing's whisper, he was surprised: "My lord, can this work?" ”

"If you do it, you will succeed, and you will have some credit, and if you fail, I will take all the blame." Li Qing said solemnly, "However, this matter must be kept strictly secret, and the slightest rumor must not be leaked." ”

"We understand." Xiao Liuzi nodded, "But... Wouldn't that be too risky? ”

"You don't have to be responsible, what are you afraid of, just do what I say."

…

The next day, Li Qing ordered people to spread the news everywhere, and the price of raw silk directly quadrupled.

The rich gentry have been keeping an eye on the east direction of the weaving bureau, and as soon as the news from Li Qing's side was released, the rich gentry over there immediately followed up, and on the basis of Li Qing, they added three percent.

Then, Li Qing raised the price again, tripling the price.

Triple in one day, such a rapid increase, but brought a rare phenomenon.

No one sells the raw silk anymore.

The reason is very simple, they are looking forward to rising again.

As they had hoped, the next day, the price of raw silk had risen to four times the original price.

As a result, the people were even more reluctant to sell.

But what they don't know is that if they buy raw silk at this price, even if the silk is sold overseas, there is no profit.

But Li Qing didn't care about it, and still increased the price, which increased fivefold.

The price of raw materials has increased fivefold, and they have to pay some money inside, but the rich gentry still follow up, nothing else, they just lose some money, and they can't let the weaving bureau open.

In this way, the two sides chased after me and started a price war.

…

More than ten days have passed, the gimmick is enough, and Xiao Liuzi has also been arranged.

As a result, a large amount of raw silk was shipped to the weaving bureau.

The rich gentry were unwilling and continued to follow up, and as soon as they followed up, Li Qing raised the price again.

In the end, the raw silk of the large sericulture farmers was sent to the Foundry Bureau in an endless stream.

Seeing this, the rich gentry made a difficulty.

It's no longer a matter of not making money, but the more you receive, the more you lose, because the raw silk has risen to seven times the original price.

But if you don't increase the size, the weaving bureau will be opened.

In fact, the weaving bureau has already been opened, and although the rich gentry follow up on the price, they have confiscated not a single tael of silk.

Without him, it's a loss-making business.

The rich gentry are just talking guns, and they all scream fiercely, but they all want others to lose money.

Seeing that the Weaving Bureau was collecting more and more raw silk, and the situation was gradually out of control, these rich gentry got together and began to discuss countermeasures.

The richest man in Jinling, the Shen family.

Shen Xin, the head of the family, and dozens of wealthy gentry and officials gathered here, all with solemn expressions.

"Guys, we have to come up with a solution." Shen Xin tuantuan, "If it goes on like this, it won't take more than a month, and the raw silk in the Jinling area will be owned by the Weaving Bureau, and at that time, our own workshops will face the dilemma of stopping work." ”

A rich gentleman gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, is this Qincha dead?" It's all about throwing money out! ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Another rich gentleman said hatefully, "Damn, he is such a loser, isn't he afraid that the emperor will cut off his head?" ”

"This guy is playing with his life!"
