Ancient Fortune Records

The county magistrate regretted it a bit. He should have thought earlier that what Shen Li wanted to do could not be a trivial matter!But it was too late to get off the pirate ship at this time, and we had to go all the way to the dark.The pancakes that Shen Li drew for him were really delicious and sweet, and he himself was considered a good county magistrate who loved the people like a child. After hearing that, everyone in Qinghe County could afford clothes to wear, and everyone could eat If he is full, he can also have a chance to be promoted, so his head gets hot.

Shen Li knew that the county magistrate was worried that things would get worse, so he said with relief: "Your Excellency, don't worry. The cloth prices in the weaving bureau branch have dropped again and again. The rich merchants are not fools, and they will definitely come to the branch to buy goods. Farmers sell Ge and hemp to The sub-bureau, the price given by the sub-bureau will not be low, the farmers will benefit, and it will also benefit the people, even if the emperor knows about this, he can’t blame anyone.”

The county magistrate nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid that your stall will be too large and affect other people's interests."

Shen Li said sternly: "They have to do such a thing if their interests are moved. A piece of silk actually costs 390 Wen, which is too high. In my opinion, [-] Wen is reasonable. As for a piece of ordinary Gebu or linen, The price should not be higher than forty renminbi, but Gebu and linen cloth on the market actually cost [-] renminbi! It is understandable that silk cloth is expensive, but why are Gebu and linen cloth so expensive? Our people, with their hard-earned money, buy cloth , When the rice is used up, who has the money to buy land? There is no land, and the tax revenue is low. As time goes by, Qinghe County is getting poorer and poorer."

The county magistrate nodded, the cloth price was indeed much higher.

"So, the price of grain has not risen much, but the price of cloth has risen suddenly. I don't believe that no one is in the way. But now is not the time to pursue this. I just need to start from it. Things that should have been banned a long time ago Will notice."

The county magistrate sighed, "I hope so, these days, thanks to your hard work, I have to avoid the limelight."

Shen Li understood the county magistrate's difficulty, and without further ado, picked up the backup ledger and left.

Beginning in October, Qinghe County began to fall frost. On October 28th, Qinghe County was extremely lively in the early morning. Shen Li greeted others while brushing his teeth, and it seemed that there was a layer of frost on the heads of passers-by.In order to make it easier for Shen Li to go to the weaving bureau every day, Shen Laiqiu bought a flat for Shen Li in the county town, assigned two servants to take care of Shen Li, and Shen Laiqiu and Mrs. Yu came to visit Shen Li every now and then.

The reason why it is so lively is because Shen Li has gathered more than 800 pieces of Gebu, linen and silk cloth, and they are on sale today!

This is only twenty days!Because the improved loom is spinning while weaving, people only need to operate it well, be familiar with the machine, and be more skilled in craftsmanship, and they can weave one or two bolts of cloth a day!You must know that for a woman, even a woman who is a skilled worker, it takes more than half a month to weave a piece of cloth, because weaving is not only about weaving cloth, but also spinning thread.A piece of cloth is 13 feet long, about [-] meters long, and [-] foot and [-] inches wide. It can be seen how much work is required to weave such a piece of cloth by hand.Shen Li can obtain such a large production volume just by modifying the loom, so the time cost is negligible.

At present, more than 300 Weaver Girls have been recruited. The division of labor is orderly, and they are respectively responsible for processing raw materials, spinning, weaving, dyeing and embroidery.In addition, fifty male workers were recruited to do the heavy work of moving and receiving goods.

At this time, the weaving bureau was not yet fully recruited. Someone asked Shen Li why he didn't continue to recruit people. Shen Li smiled slightly: "Recruit, why not recruit? It's just that the recruits are not weavers, but thugs."

The Weaving Bureau wants to recruit thugs?seriously?But Shen Li told them with practical actions that he was serious about recruiting thugs.When this batch of cloth is sold, Shen Li must always think about the safety of himself and the people in the Weaving Bureau, and ask the county magistrate to send people to inspect, and ask thugs to patrol outside. Another pass.

But the matter should not be so serious yet, Shen Li thought optimistically.

Suddenly a voice interrupted Shen Li, "Director, it's not good! Our weaving bureau has sold out the cloth, but everyone has heard that our Gebu and linen only cost [-] yuan a piece, and a piece of silk cloth is actually sold out." It only costs three hundred Wen, and now I have to buy the cloth before I come from a long distance before I am willing to leave.”

Shen Li said calmly: "Don't panic, let them wait, after fifteen days, another batch of cloth can be woven again."

Fortunately, since Shen Li started to organize the Textile Bureau, he immediately bought raw materials at high prices. He asked Qinghe County to grow hemp, kudzu, and kapok. When Li bought back, the prices of raw materials such as hemp and geese soared.

Shen Li sat in the lobby of the Weaving Bureau, watching his subordinates carry the collected money to the warehouse box by box according to the accounts. This is the income of [-] bolts of cloth and silk, and the raw materials from other places are also shipped over. , Weaving more cloth, the income is almost enough to renovate Qinghe County.

The county magistrate rushed over after hearing the news, looking at the boxes of copper coins, his legs were so weak, "This, this, this, how much silver is there in total?"

Shen Li fiddled with the abacus: "Excluding labor costs, raw material costs and other necessary costs, we can make a total profit of [-] guan."

Seven... seventy thousand!The county magistrate almost fainted. This is how many markets he robbed the aristocratic family and wealthy merchants to sell so much!

"Shen Li, Shen Li! No wonder you want me to send people to patrol the streets, what a mess you have made!"

I'm so stupid, really, I only knew that Shen Li had done a big thing, but I didn't know he did such a big thing!The county magistrate was heartbroken and had already started to calculate the tax. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. After all, the tax was paid, which was enough to make all his colleagues look at him with admiration.

"You have to take care of yourself, don't go out these few days!" The county magistrate looked at Shen Li's harmless face, covered his twitching heart, and hurriedly asked people to remove half of the money to leave this 'dangerous' place place.

Shen Li shook his head. In the coming year, Gebu and linen probably won't make much money, because cotton is about to enter the stage of history and become one of the crops that people must grow.The market for cloth is very broad. First, it is a consumable product. Second, the remaining products that cannot be sold by Dazhao can be packaged and sold to overseas nomads, or to the Western Regions, so there is no need to worry that they will not be sold.Jokhang's textiles are the most popular in other countries, just like ceramics and tea, but the quantity used to be small, this time the export can be several times more.In short, increasing the output of cloth is a good thing.

The head of the opposite door has been so angry that he has not opened the door for many days.He originally wanted to fight a price war with Shen Li, but he found out that a price war cannot be fought at all, because the cost is there. If there is a price war, without Shen Li taking action, he will go bankrupt directly.So I had no choice but to contact the wealthy merchant and the family, but their attitude was also very ambiguous, and I don't know what bad idea they were planning in private.The cloth business was getting more and more difficult day by day, so he had to lay off staff, and lay off staff every few days. What made him even angrier was that those textile workers who had just been laid off by him immediately went to the opposite side!The employees who were not laid off and did not complete the working hours stipulated in the contract in the weaving bureau seemed to be begging him to lay them off.

Shen Li has been holding his own teapot these days, sitting at the door, waiting for the journeyman to deliver to him, and even sending a pack of chrysanthemum tea to the opposite manager, telling him to calm down the fire, such days will not be many in the future .

After all, the original weaving department is about to close down.

One is a new weaving department, which can perform supernormally and sell so much cloth, and the other is an old weaving department, which can't even sell a single piece of cloth.This is also the reason why aristocratic families and wealthy merchants have been reluctant to make a move.They had a premonition of a seemingly peaceful, but actually turbulent change.

Shen Li looked at the white gas coming out of his breath, and said in a drawn out voice: "The weather is getting colder and colder." The cloth is also getting better and better.

Shen Li wrote a letter from home and asked the little boy around him to take it back. It basically means that these days are very busy and people come and go, so he told his parents to stay at home and spend more time with the villagers. He had to bring a few more in the village, otherwise he would worry that they would have to work by themselves in the cold weather in the countryside.In addition, there is no need to come to see him these days, because he is very busy.

After Shen Laiqiu finished reading the letter, he didn't make a sound, and hurriedly called all the servants in the village to come to the village, the inn was temporarily closed, and the people in the village stopped doing business, and they all became vigilant.They and Shen Li belonged to a community of destiny, and the people in Shenjia Village understood this truth better than anyone in any other place.

Yu Shi was very worried about Shen Li's consolation, Shen Laiqiu comforted Yu Shi: "It's not that bad, Li'er is someone under the care of the crown prince, even if there are villains trying to harm Li'er, you have to think about whether you can bear the responsibility."

Only then did Yu feel relieved: "The emperor is watching too! Our family, Li'er, is a person whom His Majesty has praised, so nothing will happen!"

In fact, Shen Li's consideration was right.Before October was over, two groups of people came successively and tried to smash the looms and flying shuttles.Because the appearance of textile machines and flying shuttles made them panic, the family lost their source of income, and because of the price, everyone stopped buying cloth made by private homes, and Shen Li took away all the business!They hated Shen Li so much that they hated all the changes brought about by the spinning machine and shuttle.

Shen Li watched calmly as the thugs tied up some farmers who were not excessive and did not hurt others. The other group seemed to be hooligans hired by wealthy businessmen. Shen Li didn't show courtesy to them. .

He said to the farmer: "The women in your family weave all day long, how much cloth can they weave?"

One of the men said with red eyes: "It's only less than ten pennies a day."

"Can you guarantee a sale?"

The man turned his face away, unwilling to answer the question.

Shen Li understood: "Because of the cloth shop and the weaving bureau, sometimes you can't sell the cloth at all, how much interest can I take from you? Tell me, and I will compensate you now."

Looking at Shen Li's calm eyes, all the farmers lowered their heads a little ashamedly.

That's right, they didn't make much money in the first place, so how could they blame Shen Li?Then why can't they make money?

Shen Li said: "I'll give you a way to make money, I wonder if you'd like to listen."

Everyone didn't dare to speak, how could they teach the people who smashed his store how to do business after being ruined by someone?But they didn't want to be poor, so they could only listen with shame and indignation.

"Buying goods from me and making them into ready-made clothes to sell is one way. Buying cloth directly from me and being a second-hand dealer is the second way. Landing the land in the countryside, planting cotton trees, kudzu and hemp, and then Selling it to me is the third method. The fourth method is to wait for me to recruit people. You call your family members over. If you know how to embroider, her three months’ salary can cover your food and clothing for half a year. The premise is the craftsmanship. good."

"Then we're here, will you accept it?"

Shen Li smiled: "If you dare to come, why don't I accept it?"

"Do you also accept those from the neighboring county?"

Shen Li answered similar questions tirelessly. If it wasn't for those people being tied up, in the eyes of outsiders, it would be no different from recruiting.

The thugs tied up the local ruffians to the county government. Along the way, these shameless people asked Shen Li if he was still recruiting thugs. It's broken, I can't wait to knock these bastards out.

The author has something to say: I seem to have used my brain in this chapter?But it doesn't look too obvious.

I revised the time, and it should be early November now.
