Yue Buqun took all the disciples back to his residence, and Tan Xiuwen, the shopkeeper who had been sent to Jiangnan earlier, and Zhang Yi, the bookkeeper, had been waiting for a long time, and came to visit, Yue Buqun called Ma Yiming to arrange the textile workshop together.

Tan Xiuwenyu reported: "It has been selected in the north of Shanghai County, near the Jiading area, a wasteland, nearly 1,000 acres, close to the Huangpu River, a wharf can be built, the Jiangnan River is longitudinal and horizontal, the traffic is very convenient, and the transportation of raw materials and finished products is convenient. ”

Ma Yi Mingqi said: "It's not that every inch of land in the south of the Yangtze River is valuable, how can there be such a big wasteland?"

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "There is a lot of gravel in that area, which cannot be used as a paddy field, and it is difficult to grow mulberry hemp, and it is not convenient to dig a pond, the most important thing is that it is too far away from the city and too close to the riverside." ”

"Isn't that better? It's convenient to ship!" Ma Yiming was still a little confused.

Tan Xiuwen explained: "Songjiang Mansion is located by the sea, and there are strong men who land and plunder from time to time, so it is not very safe to be too close to the river, and no one cares about this place, so we can buy it at a low price now." ”

Ma Yiming suddenly realized, however, now that the Huashan Sihai Gang is covering the open sea, whether the Yangtze River Estuary and Hangzhou Bay are safe or not, it is the Sihai Gang who has the final say, and his heart moved, and he said: "Our Huashan has ensured the safety of this land, and this riverside land will not be wanted, it is better to buy more land, and it may appreciate in the future." ”

Yue Buqun and Tan Xiuwen both laughed, and Yue Buqun boasted: "Yi Ming has a talent for business, it seems that it is right to transfer you to Jiangnan." ”

Tan Xiuwen said: "What Senior Brother Ma said is reasonable, after we walked around, we also found this phenomenon, and we were about to propose it to the master, but who knew that we were robbed by Senior Brother Ma." The crowd laughed.

Yue Buqun said: "We have reached a consensus with the Navigation Marquis, the official formalities are all in charge of the Navigation Hou, and the rest of the affairs are all in charge of our Huashan, of course, we must also slowly develop our own official power, we can't just rely on the Navigation Marquis, we must give full play to our strengths, stand firm, don't rush too quickly, so as not to have an unstable foundation." ”

The textile industry in the south of the Yangtze River is developed, but the competition is also fierce, and Huashan needs to work with the Navigation Marquis to open up the situation and squeeze in.

The three of them all bowed their heads and said yes, and Yue Buqun said again: "The commercial house is called the Four Seas Line, and it means that the goods are taken through the four seas." The firm is led by Xiu Wen, Zhang Yi is in charge of finance, and Yi Ming is in charge of security. Well, the Navigator will give Yi Ming an identity in the army, Yi Ming is outside, he is a person from the Navigator's Mansion, you have to familiarize yourself with the rules in the army, form words, accumulate information, and facilitate subsequent development. ”

The three of them knew the affairs they would be responsible for, and at this moment, they were even more happy to hear the head personally arrange and determine, and they all vowed to do the affairs well.

Yue Buqun continued: "Next year, is the year of textile workshops, commercial bank store construction, trial implementation, has been agreed with the Navigation Marquis, no dividends, but the corresponding dotting costs, still need to be included in the cost, Zhang Yi, these accounts should be done well, should be issued by us, don't be stingy, shouldn't have, to think of eradication." ”

"The key parts of the loom spinning wheel, the final assembly and other final links, must use the people we send, and other preliminary work can be outsourced to local production, but confidentiality measures must be taken. ”

"Weavers are recruited and dispatched by the Department of External Relations, and they are changed every three years, trying to ensure the secrets of our looms and spinning wheels, and you have to work hard in these aspects, female weavers go thousands of miles away, and they are in a different place, so they should take more care of them, and their wages need to be paid on time and according to the amount. ”

"When the contract expires, we must ensure that we will send people back to their hometowns, and even if they are still willing to stay, they must be approved by their parents and myself before they can be re-employed.

"Our cloth, most of the first three years sold overseas, so as not to cause strong resistance to the original interests, a few nearby prefectures can open a few cloth shops, but do not need to monopolize our cloth, to cut into the market as the key, do not impact the existing market, you are all old business, I believe you can do a good job. ”

"Yi Ming's side, get a gang out, or go to subdue one, and slowly take this left and near underground forces in our hands, and those local officials, fast catchers, patrols, river transporters, etc., should be collected as much as possible, from the bottom up, step by step. ”

"If there are foreign competitors of the same way, well, use government means to deal with the people in the rivers and lakes, use the methods of the rivers and lakes to deal with the people at the bottom of the government, and the high-level officials are responsible for their own navigation marquis, and you don't need to come forward, understand?"

Ma Yiming hurriedly said: "Disciple understands, please rest assured, you will definitely do this well." ”

Yue Buqun turned his head to Zhang Yi and said, "You are also an old man from Huashan, so I won't talk about this account anymore." You have to slowly find out about the bank, if you have the opportunity, you can participate in the shares, and accumulate experience for the opening of our own bank in the future. ”

Zhang Yi was overjoyed and said: "Don't worry, Zhang Yi will definitely find out the ins and outs of Qianzhuang." ”

Yue Buqun nodded and said: "You also know that there is a shortage of manpower in Huashan now, so you yourself must also vigorously train the juniors, don't think about the bad rules that teach apprentices to starve to death masters, those who can get started will be given the opportunity to get started, and those who are qualified will be of great use, which is also one of the manifestations of your ability." ”

"Our shopkeeper and account office in Huashan are different from other commercial firms, and try to let their subordinates do things, and the most important thing in charge is to manage people, train people, and control the general direction of affairs. ”

Tan Xiuwen and Zhang Yi were full of red faces, nodding frequently.

Do they know that the managers of workshops and shops, in the original Huashan system, belonged to unknown handymen, who did a lot of things, got little money, and had no status.

But after the vigorous innovation of the head of Yue, today's Huashan is very different, and the former miscellaneous workers, such as Qian Chinese and Song Wenze, are now in high positions, and as long as they work hard, maybe there will be this day.

Yue Buqun has other considerations, as the business territory of Huashan is getting bigger and bigger, the human and financial resources of the commercial bank are getting bigger and bigger, and the establishment is still in the external relations department, which is already a little inappropriate.

He also explained in detail to the three of them the general framework determined with the Navigation Marquis, and the rest of the specific affairs will be slowly agreed between the three of them and the subordinates of the Navigation Mansion, and finally Tan Xiuwen can sign a contract with the other party's firm, and on the surface, there is nothing to do with the Navigation Marquis Mansion and the Huashan faction.

After everything is done, Yue Buqun took seven disciples to play in Nanjing City, Zhang Jinxing, the head snake self-recommended tour guide, he grew up in Nanjing since he was a child, and can speak well, allusions all over Nanjing are at his fingertips, and he is vivid and interesting, and everyone is also happy.

If it was three days, Yue Buqun led the Huashan disciples to say goodbye and go, down the Yangtze River, through Zhenjiang, through Chongming, fluttering out to sea, the road went smoothly, it only took three days, and landed on the main island of Zhoushan.
