Yue Buqun was very satisfied with Ma Yiming's operation of the Cao Gang and the canal, put aside the matter, and asked, "What day did you make an appointment with the Marquis of Navigation?"

Ma Yiming said respectfully: "The day after tomorrow, the Marquis of Navigation will be waiting for the head of Fubo Villa at the foot of the Purple Mountain. ”

Yue Buqun frowned and said, "How can it be arranged outside the city?"

Ma Yiming said carefully: "In the past few years, the Navigation Hou Mansion has borrowed the power of our Huashan and really made a lot of money, the entire Hou Mansion has a new look, there is an endless stream of guests coming and going, and a lot of people have been added to the house, and there are many people, so Zhang Jinxing discussed with me and changed to meet outside the city, so as not to be concerned by people with intentions." ”

"Has the Navigation Marquis Mansion gotten carried away in recent years?"

Ma Yiming thought for a moment and said: "Judging from the news we have, the style of the Navigation Marquis Mansion is still very strict, although the economy in the mansion has improved, but it is only a restoration of the previous pomp, but I have not noticed any dissent. Oh! By the way, Zhang Jinliang, the marquis of navigation, was promoted to the rank of governor of the Left Army this year, and he spent a lot of money on it. ”

Yue Buqun nodded, and said: "The Navigation Marquis Mansion is our important partner, it is best not to be too public, if there is anything out of the ordinary, you must warn as soon as possible, so as not to miss a major event." ”

Ma Yiming nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, master, every move of the Navigation Marquis Mansion is under our eyes, and we guarantee that there will be no things that endanger Huashan." ”

"Head, Tan Xiuwen's shopkeeper asks to see him. ”

The voice sounded beside him, Ma Yiming's heartbeat paused, his brows jumped, and he turned his head to look, only to see Zhang Deen with a calm face, standing next to him and bowing down to report to Yue Buqun.

This young man was so good, close to his side, he didn't even notice it, and a slight coolness rose from Ma Yiming's tail vertebrae.

"Please come in, Shopkeeper Tan. ”

Zhang Deen bowed silently, turned around and walked out of the hall, and after a while, he came in with Tan Xiuwen, served tea again, and walked out of the hall gently.

Ma Yiming has been paying attention to Zhang Deen, but when he saw Zhang Deen raising his hands and feet, he was natural, without a trace of fire, and his feet were silent when he walked, and his heart became more and more shocked.

Yue Buqun chatted with Tan Xiuwen for a while and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

Tan Xiuwen said: "This person's surname is Qian, his name is good, six days ago he took four entourages to visit me in the four seas, I saw that his popularity was extraordinary, so I entertained him well, I didn't want this money to have a way, I asked for the agency of the entire capital, and the offer was only fifty percent of our current price, which naturally didn't work." ”

"We already have two Hou mansions in the capital to cooperate, how can we do something untrustworthy, and the price is so low, changing to other weaving factories has reached the verge of loss, so we naturally categorically refuse. ”

Tan Xiuwen took a sip of tea and continued: "This money has a way to say that he will solve the problem of the two agents in the capital, but the price refuses to increase, and threatens to do anything if he doesn't agree. ”

"I told the Gang Leader about this, and the Gang Leader has sent someone to investigate it. ”

Ma Yiming nodded and said, "Yes, boss, we have been keeping an eye on this money since six days ago." ”

Qian Youdao and his entourage were not publicized, rented a small courtyard, and the next day they went to visit the eunuch of Nanjing Town, and got an audience, but only a cup of tea came out, and I couldn't see how the friendship was. ”

"Subsequently, Qian Youdao was full of streets to inspect the sales of our shops and cloth in the four seas, three days ago, he also touched the vicinity of the Songjiang Fu Weaving Factory, where he went around for a day, and was stopped when he wanted to enter the factory, and his entourage was angry and wanted to break in, but he stopped him, and returned to Nanjing the day before yesterday. ”

"We touched his bottom at night, and we didn't find any identity words on him, but among his entourage, two of them were Fanzi Lux, and the other two were Mr. Bookkeeper, who should be a shopkeeper. ”

"Qian Youdao was arrogant and rude in front of Mr. Tan, but when he went out, he was very cultivated, even if he treated the beggars, he was not angry, and the four people who accompanied him had great respect for him, and he should have a certain status in the capital. ”

Tan Xiuwen said: "Yesterday he came to the four seas again, I have reported what he said to the owner, and just waiting for the owner to decide, he warned that he would wait for another five days at most, and if there is no reply, he will bear the consequences." ”

Yue Buqun nodded and asked, "What has he been doing these two days?"

Ma Yiming replied: "Yesterday afternoon and this morning, I have been wandering around the city, purchasing some Jiangnan products, and I haven't visited anyone again, and the news has not yet come this afternoon." ”

"Have you asked from the capital, have you answered?"

"There are no carrier pigeons in Nanjing and Beijing, and someone has been sent to ask, it will take eight days to come and go, and if there is news, it should still be on the way. ”

Yue Buqun called softly, "Wu Dong, come in." ”

Wu Dong, who was standing solemnly under the hall, listened, entered the middle hall, bowed down and said, "Master." ”

Ma Yiming's eyebrows jumped again, staring at Wu Dong, another master!

The current new disciples of Huashan are really amazing!

Yue Buqun turned his head to Ma Yiming and said, "You arrange for someone to bring Wu Dong over, and let Wu Dong follow this money together." ”

He turned to Wu Dong and said, "You observe carefully for two days to see what this person is like?"

Wu Dong said: "Yes, boss." ”

Turning to Ma Yiming, he said, "Annoying Senior Brother Ma to arrange the arrangement." ”

Ma Yiming said with a smile: "Let Senior Brother Wu make a move, but I can afford this money too much, okay, let's go." ”

Ma Yiming didn't dare to slack off on Wu Dong at all, so he confessed to Yue Buqun and went out, and took Wu Dong with him personally.

Tan Xiuwen reported to Yue Buqun on the production and sales of textile factories, and once again expressed pessimism about the confidentiality of textile technology.

"Boss, now the textile factory has more than 2,000 workers, more than 500 people have been working in the factory for two terms and six years, most of them are over 20 years old, they are already old girls in the countryside, and now more than 300 people have applied to the factory to quit their jobs and go home. ”

"The other 200 people are even more beautiful, the family wants these girls to continue to work to make money, not allowed to go back, many people wash their faces with tears every day, work efficiency has declined, a few because of trance, mistakes, several accidents. ”

Yue Buqun frowned and asked, "Can the new employees who have been replenished keep up?"

Tan Xiuwen said: "The gradual removal can still be smoothly transitioned, that is, after these employees go back, the situation in our factory will be easy to be known." ”

Yue Buqun shook his head and said, "It's okay, sooner or later, it will get out, and the current situation is better than I expected." We can't expect to eat it all over the world. The most important thing is how to simplify the production process as much as possible, reduce waste in management, and maximize the benefits of workers. ”

"While one weaver produces five pieces of cloth a day, our weavers have to produce six, and the time cannot be increased, which tests the wisdom of you, the management. ”

"I've read your previous reports, and there is very little mention of craftsmen, and the original craftsmen are now maintenance handymen, which is a waste of talent. ”

"It is necessary to raise the enthusiasm of these craftsmen, and some of them who have ideas and are willing to use their brains are independent from the maintenance team, and set up a research and development team, and the research and development projects can be proposed by the factory, or let them mention themselves, as long as it helps to improve the production efficiency of the factory, they can be approved and can get sufficient financial protection. ”

Tan Xiuwen hesitated: "I'll arrange it when I go back, but these people originally relied on the instructions of the head of the company to produce new spinning wheels and looms, and they worked hard to get it, so let them get it themselves, I'm worried..."

Yue Buqun smiled and said: "Don't worry about waste, you have to believe that human wisdom is infinite, and now the entire Ming Dynasty, if you want to say that you are most familiar with new spinning wheels and looms, it is these craftsmen." ”

"Maybe some people have had ideas for a long time, but we didn't give them a chance, and their status is low, so naturally more things are better than less. ”
