Tang Dynasty good man

The second forty-fourth chapter is a surefire strategy?

Being a human is difficult.It's harder to be a good person.It is even more difficult to appear as a good person in front of the world when you are obviously not a good person.

"Who says I'm not a good person?" I have a different opinion on this point, that is, if someone goes to West Market and shouts, 'Wang Xiu is a hypocrite who is both external and internal', he will definitely attract a lot of abuse. Now in the eyes of outsiders, I am nothing but He is an out-and-out prodigal son, and his character is first-rate, there is no doubt about it. "Go out and speak ill of me. You have a high status, and no one dares to contradict you face to face, but I definitely disagree with you in my heart, and maybe even doubt your character in private."

"Hehe," Lan Ling wore a newly dyed pale cotton pleated skirt, and a belt tied neatly with moon-white twisted silk and gold thread, making her figure appear tall and abrupt. "That's why he's not a good person. He's a bit of a bad person, and he's talking to picky people after dinner, and it's vivid. That's why he dedicated the steamed wine recipe to the Ministry of Industry, and now he's showing it to the Ministry of Industry under the guise of being selfless for the people." Even if you control the cotton weaving, no one will say that you are rich and unkind, what are you afraid of?"

"It doesn't matter if you say it, I'm afraid that people think so in their hearts." Uncle Cao was urged by several big bosses on the front line, and he devoted himself to the research and development of firearms. I failed to find out the truth after three visits. Xin Si and the Wang family jointly engage in the cotton spinning industry, "It seems that the cotton has come down now, counting hundreds of thousands of catties, all piled up towards the Wang family, I really can't afford to eat it all in one go. You also saw the workshop, Thousands of 800 people are not necessarily successful. Where can I find so many idle female workers? It’s not odd jobs, and this job lasts for a year...” There are very few professional women in this era, and the management of the family is a big labor, and they don’t go out for a long time. Earn money concept.

Lan Ling smiled and pointed to himself, "You will be able to do it at the beginning, but if you spread it later, it is impossible to pull all of them towards your home. It is imperative to establish cotton weaving workshops in cotton-producing areas everywhere. The Ministry of Industry ignores it." You, but you ignored me, and when it accumulates in the future, it might not be a problem to just make a quilt?"

"You still need to find me? As long as the Ministry of Industry approves, how many workshops your family likes to build, and where you want to build them, it's up to you. Why do you have to drag me?"

Lan Ling leaned forward and smiled, "Your ability. It can't be seen from you, but it's clear from the people in front of you. You are a few of the royal family, and they are not easy to get along with. Needless to say, Mrs. Second daughter, you can maintain your property so quietly that even your sister-in-law can't handle it... and your sister-in-law is a little smarter. Without the intentional or unintentional beating by your side, she can only be a shrewd merchant. Not so eccentric."

"Oh? I'm so great?"

"But I underestimated myself, hehe." Lan Ling pulled the silver bracelet on his wrist and showed me his exquisite craftsmanship. "I won't talk about it, you made a mess, even Zhuangzi next to you can't escape."

"Go, I'm not a miasma. Let you call it a latrine."

"No, that girl surnamed Yun is an example. She learned from your family and was forced by your family. In my opinion, let alone Chang'an, there is only this weird female head in the Tang Dynasty. Bad, infected with the plague and passed it on to others, hehe... You don’t deal with the outside world more. Many things in the court are different from before, everyone can feel it, but they can’t figure out the reason.”

"Oh, I see." He took the cricket pot stolen from Cheng Chu and lay down on the soft chair to admire it.

"It's good to understand. There is no other meaning. Let the inner man have frequent contacts with you. The purpose of pulling you in is to give you a boost for your infamous abilities. It stands to reason that the inner man's advantage is incomparable to others. But I always feel that the business is not as smooth as yours, even though it earns a lot of money, it is a lack of spirit. I am afraid that it will repeat the mistakes of the paper-making workshop in the future." Lan Ling pointed to the pile of booklets on the table, "To tell you the truth .In the past six months of this year, the Inner Palace has made a profit of 40 yuan. In the future, the stall will grow bigger and bigger, and the number of people will increase. You will play the role of a professor."

"No, hehe." Smelling the pot, the tea was not soaked through, and it had to be buried for half a year before it could be used. "You go on your own way, and gain wisdom by eating a ditch. It's impossible to go smoothly, even if you tell me to go there. You can't avoid it. Think of me as a god? I can do everything. As far as business is concerned, it's the first time for any of us. In the future, we can Come to me to discuss, I will try my best to plan for you, and you can do it on paper, and you have to be a veteran and famous general like you to go into battle." After eating a few bowls of dry rice, I know in my heart, let alone such a deformed trust in the inner government, According to my ability, without the help of these people around me, I can lose money selling maltose at the door, which is not a material for business by nature.

I have become very serious recently, and with the help of the continuous publication of publications, I have a tendency to develop into an orthodox scholar who regards money as dung. There is no way, who said that we are the second in command in agronomy, especially during the cotton harvest season. I have to master my image.

"Contributing to the country, I never care about personal gains or losses. For example, the Wang family hopes to let the court come down to preside over the cotton. For this reason, they have repeatedly urged the Ministry of Industry. Hey! There is no news so far. I will visit Cao Shangshu again tomorrow." Facing the fight Friends from all walks of life advocated by Mian, without waiting for the other party to speak, first express their impartial position.Don't you want to cooperate with the Wang family?The Wang family has already greeted the Ministry of Industry. If you feel that you can be above the court, then it’s okay to speak up. If you don’t have the confidence... Of course, the Cui family is different. Cui Zhang is a partner. Tolerance, but we cannot discriminate against people with disabilities.

"It's good to cover your face. Brother Shiren is going to go out to vote at night?" Cui Zhang knew that there was no time to delay, so he sent someone to invite me to meet me face-to-face.

"Don't make fun of me." Cui Zhang pulled the face towel angrily, and reached in to touch a few.

"Hey, haha..." I stepped forward and bent down to look inside, "My brother is still blocking three things, so let's pass."

"It will be fine in these two days, and the corners of the eyes are still a little bruised, so don't make fun of me, brother Zihao. I invite you here today to discuss business, and it's the season soon..." Cui Zhang quickly moved away from the topic of injuries, and went straight to the point. "Last year's cotton goods were sold out in just a few days. This year, I'm afraid they can be ordered without even leaving the door. At this price..."

"It's still early, there is a process of processing in the middle, so you can sell it after pulling it back." He said and took out a roll of cotton cloth, "Half of it will be woven into cloth this year. The investment in manpower is huge. The price. Hehe..."

"My brother, what are you talking about?" Cui Zhang stuffed the cotton cloth back, and waved his hand grandly, "This little brother has seen it before. When the front of the head was not injured, Princess Lanling wore this material for banquets, and I asked specifically. After all, I heard that a cotton cassock was specially presented to the abbot of the Ci'en Temple. It has long been famous in the capital."

"Then you're welcome," he stretched out his hand and ordered the five chiefs to drink.

"Silk and satin?" Cui Zhang nodded and said with a smile, "It's easy to say!"

"No!" Shaking his head inscrutablely, "quilt, of course, this is not easy to convert, hehe... we can weigh it."

"This..." Cui Zhang pondered for a moment, wondering: "A quilt costs four catties. If it is five quilts, the four catties of cotton cloth is 25 quilts? Brother Zihao, this..."

"Brothers in the world, I am too worried. Princess Lanling's cotton pleated skirt may not even cost a catty? If the same style is sold for thirty pieces. As far as you and I are concerned, are you willing to give it to your mother-in-law? How many sets do you want to buy?" I deliberately confused the concept between raw materials and finished products, and in this day and age, everyone's calculations are relatively straightforward, and they are under huge profits.The cost of reprocessing can be ignored.

"It's a good idea!" Cui Zhang suddenly slapped his forehead and burst out laughing. Because of the hood, it made people feel ghostly. "It's more than thirty strings. Just send the fabric to the tailor shop, print out the signboard, and make it tailor-made. Isn't the city full of ladies flocking to it?"

Depend on!Shameless.He also opened a fashion store and directly plagiarized my ideas.I just pick up a topic, and this guy can make a lot of money, "Oh, yesterday the paper-making workshop met a steward of the inner mansion, and said he had this plan. It's really a hero who sees the same thing." This finalized the matter, He likes to go.Tomorrow, give Lanling a sigh of relief.The Cui family and the Neifu are fighting in the arena, and I happen to be a fisherman.

"It's okay. In the inner mansion, we are old friends. It is a good thing to have a colleague." Cui Zhangman said indifferently: "It is not always true to say that a colleague is an enemy, especially in the inner mansion. What kind of business does it have? After all, no matter how high the profits are, people won’t be criticized, isn’t accusing the Cui family the same as accusing the inner government of competing for profit with the people?”

What Cui Zhang said is so right, teacher!Usually, friends eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble, but when it comes to business, Cui Zhang is a master. This sentence reminded me, no wonder the Cui family has survived for a hundred years, and the truth is explained lightly The only thing left is admiration.

Although the inner government has the power of the royal family, they are afraid of getting a bad reputation, and they dare not spread their hands in the country, no matter how big the business is. Lan Ling likes this idea and plans to open some fashion stores abroad. . "Cotton cloth is in short supply, and it's cheap for this handsome boy in the world. But it's more profitable to use silk abroad. My clothing is very popular in the surrounding noble circles."

"I have a plan," he got up and took out a large booklet from the bookshelf, and said seriously, "I'm formally discussing with you... don't laugh, it's business!"

"Say it, you won't even let me laugh, you have a straight face that no one likes Liu Rengui." Lan Ling reached out to grab the booklet, but I withdrew my hand and hid it.He laughed and said, "Every good thing, take it down and don't let anyone see it!"

"Talk, after the discussion, it's your land," I shook the album, "It stands to reason that we have no emotional separation between the two of us, so you have to give it to you now. But this time you represent the Inner Palace, and I represent the Wang Family. The two camps, put them on my side first."

"Hongmen Banquet?" Lan Ling moved his chair to put some distance away from me, "What can I teach you, my little marquis?"

"Princess, you're too polite, I don't dare to see you, just a little suggestion." Arched his hands, he took out the terms negotiated with the two family assistants and looked at them, and followed his train of thought, "This year, we will increase the area of ​​cotton trial planting. According to the market price, of course, there are few things now, and the price is not stable. If we calculate it at the price last year, excluding a series of costs such as purchase, transportation, and processing, there will be a profit of about 15 yuan, and there may be more More."

"That is to say, your family earned seven or eight thousand yuan last year?" Lan Ling was proficient in mathematics, and he reported the Wang family's profits in a single stroke. "Damn it, the imperial court is supported by both food and money, and it's all in your cash box."

"Stop! Who told you this? I mean, since the Ministry of Industry is not interested in cooperating with me, then I will transfer all the technology to the inner government for a fee, not..."

"Paid? The reward for cottonseed removal in your family is still that I gave the land in the name of the Ministry of Industry, and you plan to sell me the technology I paid for?" Lan Ling looked contemptuous, with his feet raised, "You can settle accounts and start from scratch. It wasn't a good idea."

"Listen to me. It's impolite to interject randomly. This year, cotton is added to [-] to [-]. The Neifu builds workshops, and the Wang family also builds workshops. Each sells their own products and competes with each other. Even if the Neifu bullies others, I will admit it. You need technology to give you technology. Even if the workshops are exactly the same, even the management model can be copied." Chao Lanling sent a good-hearted smile, "The faster the promotion of cotton in the future, the more workshops we have in different places, and we are enemies in the industry. , Outsiders are friends, if a third party wants to get a share of it, we will always be outside.”

"Oh." Lan Ling suddenly realized, "Then you are miserable. If the inner government wants to be a big family? Are you afraid that you will eat the cotton industry of the Wang family?"

"Eat when it's time to eat, you're welcome." Scared me, hehe.Once promoted.Ten years is a period, and when the craft of cotton and cotton cloth becomes popular among the people, the price will definitely drop sharply, and it will be a matter of time before it is lower than that of silk fabrics.What about profits.It's not bad if you don't pay, eat, be careful to eat bad stomach. "Competition, mutual annexation is unavoidable. If the Wang family is not strong enough, it is only natural for you to eat it, and it will not affect our relationship."

"Empty city plan!" Lan Ling couldn't figure out what I was thinking, and looked at me several times. "What kind of trick are you playing? Think about it clearly. Once the inner government reaches out to the cotton, it will be able to control the whole country in ten years. By then, according to your protective temper, will I still have the face to come to your door?"

"No one else can do it, only you can. You are my mother-in-law, no one else knows, but I am willing to let you annex the property from the bottom of my heart. Hehe. You don't necessarily have this ability, do you?"

"Have you discussed with your family?" Lan Ling came over and touched my forehead, "There is a relationship between us. But once the business gets rolling, it can't be controlled by just talking about it. Your royal family can't stop the inner court. Let alone the Wang family, based on the current situation, in another ten years, it may not be as weak as the national treasury."

"That's great. How are you going to spend it? I can help you with the money." The treasury, the treasury still has income and expenditure. According to the current trend of the inner government, it's almost impossible to get in and out, which makes people feel itchy.

"It's not your turn," Lan Ling smiled happily, "Agriculture and such, in the name of the royal family, will be built in the future and more talents will be cultivated. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is better to have a preparation, when money is used too much."

"Royal Academy, Royal Army, Royal Navy? Hehe, your Li family fought the country once and bought it again..."

"Go, there is no limit."

"Okay, if you figure it out, you can take this booklet away. The manufacturing methods of the loom and the seed remover are all available, and they are all painstakingly studied and improved by my family. In the future, the competition between the two will promote the improvement of craftsmanship. Innovation can also be regarded as a contribution to my cotton spinning industry. Don’t be comfortable with the status quo, invest in technology, and be competitive at low cost, and you will lose face if you can’t eat the Wang family.”

"Is this the reason for the catfish you said?" Lan Ling took the brochure with a smile, "I never believed that you had the idea of ​​contributing to the country, and I always felt that you were plotting against the inner court. I owe you my sympathy." She winked at me, "Actually, there's no need to drag the Neifu into the water. It's a unique business. There are many ways to solve it, and you chose the most inappropriate one. Hehe, haha ..."

"Hey, you said you couldn't figure it out, obviously you were laughing at me." Lan Ling was cunning, and put on a passive posture from front to back, as if I forced her to open a workshop. "There are conditions. Within ten years, the two companies must reach an agreement on the prices of various cotton fabrics, and they cannot lower the prices privately to hit each other. This will harm others, not benefit themselves, and hurt each other."

"Well," Lan Ling nodded, "Write it down as an agreement. The benefits of this year's meeting will be shared by the Wang family, and I will send someone to your workshop..."

"No need," he waved his hand majesticly, "from now on, we will be at odds in the cotton industry. You don't need to make any preparations. Just like me last year, you need to spend time training a large number of skilled female workers. You have a lot of money. It's not difficult to spare one. I can choose some experienced ones from home to help you, except Dalley."

Dalai couldn't give it, and if he gave it, he couldn't come back.After a year of hard work, Da Lai's professional quality has made a leap forward. Now the workshop is supported by her, and more than 100 spinning machines are in place. She is leading a group of novices to practice with cotton and spindles left over from last year.

According to Da Lai, the steps of spinning thread in the workshop can be temporarily exempted, allowing farmers to take cotton by the catty and go back to spinning, turn it in at regular intervals, pay by the catty, reduce the burden on the workshop, save limited human resources, and concentrate on weaving Cloth, effectively improve work efficiency.

"Are you sure?" I stared into Dalai's eyes, full of domineering aura.

Dalai didn't know what he did wrong, he was so panicked by my stare, he even forgot to lower his head to avoid it, his face was flushed red.

"Speak!" The momentum increased a little in vain.

Darley shook his head in panic.

He rushed forward and said, "Not sure what you are talking about? Looking for trouble!"

Dalai gritted his teeth, nodded again, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sure..."

"Okay," my complexion suddenly softened, and my tone was soft, like a spring breeze caressing my face. "Be brave next time, yes, don't let other people's faces make you lose your mind. You are now a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, you must remember your identity, not like when you were a slave. This year is the beginning of the family, and the next few years will weave The workshop is going to expand tenfold and dozens of times under your hands, and the inner mansion is still planning to eat up our house, it’s all up to you.” Patted her on the shoulder, “I went to see Madam in the afternoon, she gave You bought a few maids, and the carriage specially made for you will arrive tomorrow. You can plan out any decorations and ask the housekeeper for them. From now on, you will be the same as the housekeeper, accountant, and doctor, and enjoy the welfare of the Wang family for a lifetime; oh , By the way, take the two of you to Dr. Zhou to choose a horse, and just pull the one you like. Remember, ask the two nurses to follow you when you go out, and you will be a decent person when you go out. Can't lose it."

"En!" Dalai nodded vigorously, his panic calmed down, but his face was still flushed, and he didn't know what to think.
