Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 415

"It's really lively today." Xia Junyan sat down steadily, greeted shopkeeper He who was opposite her, greeted old shopkeeper Pan, and chatted briefly with the rest of the shopkeepers for a few minutes. Just in time, the buddy brought tea, took a sip, and handed over the right to speak to Mr. Zhou.

"I would like to thank all the shopkeepers for their support today."

Everyone wanted to see what kind of medicine Mr. Zhou bought in the gourd. Unexpectedly, the other party said directly, "A few days ago, Zhou Ji made a small suggestion to the county magistrate, and the magistrate thought it was feasible. I think the shopkeepers are similar. I know it all, but I still want to make it official here, I hope that Yun'an County can establish a cloth village chamber of commerce, and it will be convenient for everyone to communicate with each other."

I thought there would be some detours, but Mr. Zhou just said something straight, and the shopkeepers who beat him were a little caught off guard.But shopkeeper Wang from the dyeing workshop was the first to come back to his senses, and asked at this moment: "I have heard about this incident, but the big guy has never seen what the chamber of commerce said before. It sounds like a big deal. The chamber of commerce wants to What kind of charter is it, what role will each of our shops play in the chamber of commerce, and who will take the lead?"

Several questions in a row, the last one is the key.

Although chamber of commerce is a new term, it is not difficult to understand what kind of organization it is.But Mr. Zhou added something else based on everyone's understanding.

"Presumably all shopkeepers know that our Yun'an has always been famous in these two prefectures and seven counties for its salt and brocade. Needless to say, Yan, the imperial court has to worry about it, and the burden of brocade silk and satin falls on the shopkeepers here. But our county is not the only one that is famous for splendid embroidery. Starting from the state capital, there are more than 20 well-known cloth villages in the counties below, and there are even more embroiderers with superb craftsmanship. Ladies and gentlemen, there are quite a few people in the town and the village who have taken a fancy to the cloth business. Although they don’t have much capital, they still get a piece of the pie. They say that it’s easy to do things with more people, but when it’s time to eat, it’s only when there are fewer people that they can eat. get fuller."

Old shopkeeper Pan frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"If we only set our sights on Yun'an County and stand still, I'm afraid that in a few years, cloth houses from other counties will open shops here. Didn't Shopkeeper Wang meet Quanxi a while ago? Is there someone over there?"

Seeing everyone's eyes turned over, shopkeeper Wang didn't hide, and said directly: "That's what happened. I heard that there are some new patterns of dyeing cloth here at Quanxi, and I wanted to take a look, but I returned them." .”

His dyeing workshop is on the boundary of Yun'an County, and he really sold his technology to the neighboring county. The cloth shops in Yun'an County probably swallowed him alive.What's more, shopkeeper Wang is originally from Yun'an County, so he is naturally closer to the cloth village in Yun'an County psychologically.

Unexpectedly, when he said this, many shopkeepers were filled with righteous indignation.

"The most cunning ones are the Quanxi people!"

"What Li shopkeeper said is very true. Last time I asked them to transport the cloth to the state capital, who would have thought that this grandson put his things away. My cloth arrived, but it was wrinkled several times!"

"Did you not talk to them?"

"I want to go. They say it was made by the people in the state capital's cloth shop. Unfortunately, I haven't caught his conclusive evidence. Besides, it won't do me any good to drag it down. Forget it, let's just buy it. lesson."

"That's the reason." Master Zhou said at the right time, "If we set up a chamber of commerce, let's hold together, no matter who it is, as long as he dares to bully a family, he will bully all the cloth houses of our chamber of commerce."
