After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Yang Yanqiu timidly got up from the ground, "I don't know what the emperor said about Zhao Caomin's entry into Beijing?"

He didn't dare to look up, and when he stood up, he caught sight of a corner of his apricot-yellow clothes from the corner of his eye.

With so many days of training before, Yang Yanqiu judged only from this apricot yellow that the one who just chuckled is the current prince.

Kangxi saw that he was standing still, so he signaled Liang Jiugong to come forward and explain the reason to him.

Liang Jiugong said "嗻", walked to Yang Yanqiu and talked to him about the court's business with him.

Yang Yanqiu was dumbfounded after hearing this.Ma'am, the world's meat buns are falling into my husband's hands now.Father, mother, are you going to smoke on our ancestral grave?

If it wasn't for being in the palace and being watched by others, Yang Yanqiu wished he could run out and cheer loudly to the sky right now.Not only did he want to cheer, he wanted to roll.

The emperor wants to do business with their Yang family!There are so many rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, the royal family actually chose their Yang family and wanted to do business with their Yang family!The emperor actually wanted to promise him that in the future, the cloth woven by Jiangnan, which was only used by the royal family in the past, would be sold by the Yang family's shop!

Isn't it worth rolling over for such a big happy event?

No, not only to get lost, but also to hold a feast for seven days after he returns, to let everyone in Yangzhou City know that he, Yang Yanqiu, is a reliable person recognized by the emperor!

Yang Yanqiu's excited whole body trembled slightly, but he was always in a hurry, the saint in front of the hall must not lose his manner.After taking a few quick breaths, he calmed down.

But he thought about it later, since the past dynasties, where has the royal family and ordinary people done business?Has the imperial court been forced to this point?Could it be...

Yang Yanqiu bowed his hands, his head was almost buried in his chest, and he asked tremblingly: "The grassland people are ignorant, please tell the emperor, but the current court is in urgent need of money? If this is the case, the grassland people will donate all their property and do their best for the world."

Even though Jiangnan is far away from the capital, Yang Yanqiu has long heard from the newspapers issued by the government that the imperial army was defeated in the northwest and had been in a stalemate with the Junggar army for two months.

Come to think of it, is it because the food and grass have been exhausted long ago, and the national treasury is too empty, which led to the court's self-deprecation?

Yinfeng raised the corners of his lips, this man is really a rare smart person.He was suddenly curious about how Khan Ama felt now.

I heard that this Yang family is the richest man in Yangzhou, and the wealth of the wealthy businessmen in the entire Jiangnan can barely compete with his family.If he really donated all his property, not only would he have the food expenses for the [-] troops in the next few years, Dai Zi's research expenses, and the Fujian Navy's military expenses, they would all have it.

Yinreng glanced sideways at Kangxi's face, and saw that Khan Ama had been expressionless, and suddenly felt very bored.Can't figure it out, Khan Ama's mind can't figure it out.

He simply stared at Yang Yanqiu and said, "Are you sincere?"

Immediately Yang Yanqiu knelt down again, "Everything the grass people said is true."

Yinfeng put away the playfulness on his face, regardless of what this person was thinking, his words had already made people look up to him.

The system can understand it, not to mention this person, even if it is another person, it will not believe that the imperial court can do business with the people.

Kangxi's face was a little uncomfortable, and he sent someone to talk to this Yang Yanqiu.But he was afraid that the subordinates would make their own decisions and frighten him, so they were called to the capital.

But I didn't expect that it would scare people after recruiting people to Beijing.

Kangxi smiled gently, "I know your loyalty, but you don't have to be afraid, I won't use your family property supported by three generations to fill the treasury."

"Your majesty is wise!" Yang Yanqiu said.

"Just get up and talk."

Kangxi ordered the little eunuch to help Yang Yanqiu, and continued: "I have admired the customs of the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and I only called you here to discuss business matters with you."

The high-ranking person deliberately lowered his figure, Yang Yanqiu only felt like a spring breeze.He stood up and bowed his back, and heard Kangxi ask again: "What is the price of cloth in Yangzhou now?"

Speaking of returning to his professional field, Yang Yanqiu was no longer nervous, and began to talk endlessly: "Back to the emperor, ordinary coarse cloth materials are at most ten cents a foot, but most of the shops in Caomin's house sell handmade silk and satin and silk materials. Most of them are official or wealthy merchants' homes. So there are not many coarse cloths sold."

"Besides, the silk decorations are different, and the price of the material is also different. If it is ordinary, it costs 350 to 30 yuan a foot. If it is a finely woven flower, it is also available for [-] yuan a foot. The price of silk and satin is naturally lower than that of brocade. It is more expensive. An ordinary person needs at least [-] feet of cloth to make a suit of clothes, and if it is all made of silk and satin, it will cost about [-] taels of silver."

Kangxi nodded frequently when he heard that, most of the people's clothes were made of coarse cloth. For an ordinary family, if there were four members, the clothes for the four seasons would cost about a few hundred renminbi.

"What about the price of cotton?"

"Back to the emperor, cotton is about [-] yuan per catty."

Although the Yang family doesn't make cheap coarse cloth, Yang Yanqiu is still clear about these basic market prices.

Kangxi remembered Yinfeng's previous suggestion that if there is enough food, let the people grow some other crops in their homes.Perhaps it is possible to make farmers in the north plant some cotton first.Whether it is making cotton clothes in the military or ordinary people's homes, the demand for cotton is always indispensable.

He silently wrote down the matter and prepared to discuss it with the courtiers again.

Yinfeng interjected, "Are the workers in your family bought from outside, or are they your own servants?"

Yang Yanqiu didn't dare to raise his head all the time, but just adjusted the direction according to the voice, and continued respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness, the weavers used by the minister's family are all old servants who have followed the Yang family for several generations. Most of the rest of the staff are Hired from outsiders, there are also paperwork in the government."

Yinfeng nodded, it didn't sound like he meant to oppress the servants.This Yang Yanqiu's character is not bad, and cooperating with such a person is not considered to be a disgrace to the court.He thought for a while and asked again, "How much are their monthly wages?"

"Ordinary handymen pay three yuan a month, and each season they get two sets of clothes, ten catties of rice noodles, and year-end rewards. The shopkeeper's monthly salary is five taels, and year-end dividends."

Yinfeng calculated the cost in his mind, and then asked: "How many shops does your Yang family have in the Jiangnan generation?"

Speaking of this, Yang Yanqiu said with a slightly arrogant tone, "Suhang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, there are always [-] or [-] rooms."

These are just the clothes shop of the Yang family, the Yang family also has some rice noodles, and other jewelry shops.

However, after the Royal Supply and Marketing Cooperative opened the rice noodle shop in Yangzhou, its business has been affected a bit. Now the business is calm, and in a few months, it may not be far from closing.

Yang Yanqiu felt a little delicate when he thought that his own shop was about to close due to the influence of the royal family, and he was still sitting here respectfully discussing partnership business.

He sighed secretly, for the ancestors of the Yang family, a little smoke from the ancestral graves is enough, not too much.

Kangxi listened to his son asking and answering Yang Yanqiu without interrupting.He plans to arrange for his son to formally start discussing politics next year. Now it seems that his son knows about common affairs and cares about prices.

The son he raised really can do everything.

The questions are almost all asked, and the business is about to start.Kangxi changed the subject in a timely manner and discussed with Yang Yanqiu how to cooperate.

It was a discussion, but he actually said it. Yang Yanqiu listened, and then agreed without thinking.

If you don't agree, it won't work. An emperor and a prince, the two most dignified people in the whole country are staring at him closely. It is impossible for him not to agree.

In fact, when Kangxi called Yang Yanqiu to come, it is impossible to completely ignore the market demands of the people and still want to listen to his advice.He is used to employing people, so he naturally knows that something will happen if a layman directs an expert.

Before seeing Yang Yanqiu, Kangxi specially ordered someone to check the accounts at Cao Yin's. Originally, Jiangnan Weaving would weave thousands of pieces of cloth a year, and all of these materials were used for the royal family.

But now that the Yang family is the agent for sales, this weaving method has to be changed.

Kangxi planned secretly that the Cao family needed to add more manpower. According to what Yang Yanqiu said, first produce some ordinary clothing materials, and if the Yang family sells well, then bring out the high-quality clothing materials.

Yang Yanqiu naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

The matter of clothing materials is finalized, and the next step is to divide into problems.

When it came to the issue of money, Yang Yanqiu's fearful words didn't match up.It took a long time to organize the language, saying that he would only take [-]% of the profit, and the remaining [-]% would go to the court.

Kangxi and Yinreng looked at each other, Yinreng understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "What Khan Ama means is that the imperial court and the Yang family can be divided [-]-[-]."

"Fifty to five?" Yang Yanqiu raised his head anxiously, then realized that he seemed disrespectful, and lowered his head hurriedly, "The grassroots don't dare. The Yang family only takes [-]%."

"Yang Yanqiu, are you trying to bargain with Khan Ama?" Yinfeng deliberately threatened in a low voice.

Although he is still young now, once he puts on the air of a prince, it is still very convincing for a villain to pretend to be an adult.

Yang Yanqiu plopped and knelt down again, "Caomin dare not!"

Yinfeng pursed his lips and smiled, very satisfied with the method he hadn't used for a long time.He winked and asked the little eunuch on the side to pull Yang Yanqiu up from the ground.After the people stood still, they added candied dates to the person who had just been slapped, "Ama Khan doesn't want to take advantage of the people, so five-five is five-five, you don't need to say more."

Don't ask you to earn more now, but to promote it for the court, how to find other wealthy businessmen to cooperate in the future, and how to collect taxes as an excuse?

Yang Yanqiu nodded again and again: "Huang En is mighty, what His Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely true!"

It was agreed that he was sent out of the palace soon.Before leaving, I got a "contract" written by Kangxi himself.

Yang Yanqiu held the white paper carefully, for fear that he might accidentally damage the paper in his hand.

For the ancestors and the ancestors, it is okay to have more smoke!

Now that a partner has been found, the next step is to inform the people who do the work.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Kangxi, Cao Yin, the general manager of Jiangning weaving, received an order from the capital.Kangxi ordered him to discuss with Yangzhou wealthy businessman Yang Yanqiu how to produce fabrics that ordinary people could use.

After the governor who proclaimed the decree left, Cao Yin held the imperial decree with a confused expression on his face. Their family has always only done things for the royal family, so what is this discussion with the Yang family called?
