Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 153 Official property reporting, dog emperor buys and sells by force!

"County magistrate, come, try this sweater!"

While talking, Zhang Haogu ordered someone to fetch a sweater.

More often now, he likes others to call him the magistrate, not the emperor.

At least, this Yongding County was built by him, the dog emperor, bit by bit, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

As for the emperor, it was given by nature, and there are a group of dog officials in the civil service system who restrain him every day, which naturally makes Zhu Youxiao very unhappy.

"what!"

Looking at the sweater in his hand, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but let out a surprised voice: "This is a sweater, why is it so finely woven?"

Wool spinning is a relatively early technology, which existed before the Han Dynasty, but the quality of the wool produced is naturally quite poor.

There are few wool products in Ming Dynasty, mainly carpets with white and blue patterns, but with black borders and loose and short wool. At this stage, the blankets produced in the mainland and frontiers of the Great Central Plains are mainly for dignitaries.

Wearing it on the body, it is absolutely non-existent.

It's too thick, and, in fact, it's not very effective against the cold.

In the past, it was used by the poor,

Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, so it is naturally impossible to use it casually.

However, after Zhang Haogu led Zhu Youxiao to improve the weaving machine and weaving machine, the wool spinning machine was also improved again and again. In this way, it was possible to produce wool for knitting sweaters.

This sweater is black and can be pulled over directly. In addition, there are four small characters on the right chest of the sweater - Serve the country with loyalty.

Although Zhu Youxiao was born as a carpenter, he only knows a little about weaving, but the sweater feels pretty good to the touch.

"Do you want to try the county magistrate?" Zhang Haogu asked with a smile.

"it is good!"

Zhu Youxiao was not impolite, he took off his clothes and changed them on the spot. He is an emperor who is becoming less and less majestic now.
"This sweater feels pretty good!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's very comfortable, it doesn't seem so cold anymore!!"

"This sweater should not be worn close to the body, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to wear on the body!" Zhang Haogu looked at it a few times, and said with a smile: "County magistrate, how do you feel?"

"Very good!" Zhu Youxiao looked at the craftsmen beside him and asked, "How much is this sweater?"

"County magistrate, this sweater is really cheap!" The craftsman on one side said with a smile, "It's eighty Wen in total?"

"So cheap?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "I thought it would be very expensive!"

"It's all thanks to the county magistrate's textile machine and loom. This sweater is organized by the women on the farm. Taking advantage of the slack time, the women in the farm organized training to let them weave the sweater. Now the daily output is very high. , Deputy County Magistrate Gu found some designers to design the pattern and shape of this sweater!"

The head craftsman said: "These wools are already very cheap, and they are mainly purchased from the Mongols, so the cost has to be reduced a lot!"

The Mongols also have sweaters, that is, they hang a lot of wool in one piece to keep out the cold. However, the effect is extremely poor. Now that the technology has been further innovated, finer wool has been produced. With textile technology, it can turn waste into treasure.

"If it can be handled better and made into a sweater, it will be more comfortable to wear!" Zhang Haogu muttered a few times in his heart, and then he thought: "If the consumption power of the mainland of Ming Dynasty increases , if wool products sell better, then the Mongols can have a good experience of what it means for sheep to eat people!"

"If this thing is sold out!" Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu and asked; "Deputy Magistrate Gu, how much do you think is more appropriate?"

Zhang Haogu thought for a while and raised two fingers.

Zhu Youxiao asked, "Two hundred Wen?"

"20 taels of silver!" Zhang Haogu said.

"20 taels?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes almost popped out, and he said with an expression of disbelief, "How dare you sell this thing for 20 taels?"

"County magistrate, believe it or not, if we dare to sell food, then someone must dare to buy it!" Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "As long as the price is expensive enough, people who are not short of money will definitely be willing to buy it. In addition, That’s how to create a brand effect!”

"How to form a brand effect?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking.

"For example!" Zhang Haogu said: "Let all the dog officials in the imperial court wear this sweater!"

"kindness?"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned: "This is also okay?"

"County magistrate, don't worry, let's talk slowly later!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "I think this sweater can definitely be sold for a high price!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't doubt Zhang Haogu's ability to do things. He dared to sell 20 taels of just a sweater, which somewhat surprised Zhu Youxiao.

After leaving Yongding County, Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao sat in a carriage and went back to collect it. Then Zhu Youxiao said: "Tell me quickly, master, I am also very curious!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "This matter is also simple. During this period of time, officials from all over the country have begun to report their property. For example, Ye Xianggao has [-] land in his hometown in Fujian. But there is a lot of money!"

"The emperor gave him this sweater and asked him to pay for it!"

Zhang Haogu said: "What does your majesty think?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were about to pop out: "That's it?"

"Of course it's not all of these!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "For example, the emperor is sympathetic to the courtiers, and specially sent tailors to their homes to design clothes for them. If you like to buy it or not, if you don't buy it, you look down on the emperor. If you don't buy it, you are sorry for the emperor! "

When talking about this, Zhang Haogu paused slightly: "As long as this group of officials wear sweaters, as long as their relatives and family members wear this sweater, as long as their servants all wear this sweater, your majesty, in this way , naturally formed a trend, naturally willing to spend 20 taels to buy!"

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "It's just that this sweater is originally something to keep out the cold. I think it should be for the comfort of the people. First of all, it should not let the people go hungry and cold!"

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "I didn't say that I wouldn't sell it to the people. We are ready-made clothes, which are processed products. However, this wool and cotton cloth are not processed products. After the people sell them, the cotton cloth is for themselves. It is the same for weaving clothes, woolen yarn, the price of cotton cloth and woolen yarn must not only be lowered, but also severely lowered!"

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, I, try!""
