When Mr. Simang reported 50,000 horses, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, his eyes looked a little proud, and he even had a bit of a provocative taste in it when he looked at Lin Haoran.

It has to be said that although the Ming Dynasty has the most advanced production technology, and its silk fabric and ceramic technology are the best in the world, it has entered a wrong monetary system.

After the Ming Dynasty banknotes were destroyed by the previous emperors, silver became the main currency in circulation. It's just that Daming is not a big silver-producing country, and Yunnan, the main silver-producing area, produces only a hundred thousand taels of silver every year, which makes the country with a large silver mine pick up a big bargain and has a strong purchasing power.

On the one hand, Mr. Simang's arrogance, and on the other hand, his own production capacity is seriously insufficient, which really made Lin Haoran feel a burst of indignation.

The shopkeeper Weng was very clear about the production situation, and seemed to be afraid that Lin Haoran would agree to Mr. Simang without knowing it, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, please come over first!" ”

Lin Haoran naturally knew in his heart that his understanding of the economy was higher than that of many people. Although he was in a bad mood, he still politely greeted Mr. Simang, and then called Shen Liuye and the others together to discuss.

Faced with this tempting cake, many people's eyes changed color, and a longing swelled up in their hearts.

"Lord Fuzun, we only have 200 looms now, and we can only produce more than 10,000 horses a month, so we can't complete this order on time!" The shopkeeper Weng first made a bitter face and explained the situation to everyone.

As soon as his words fell, Yang Yuanwai proposed: "Then expand the workshop and recruit more people to come!" This proposal was very much in line with everyone's wishes, and several people immediately expressed their support.

"It takes time to find a new factory, renovate a new factory, recruit skilled female workers, and expand the warehouse!" The shopkeeper Weng's brows were tightly locked, pointing out the various difficulties involved.

"My furniture workshop is gone, and the original price will be transferred to our joint workshop!" Zhang Yuanwai said boldly.

Hearing that Zhang Yuanwai actually made such a "sacrifice", Yang Yuanwai also gritted his teeth and said: "Leave the matter of recruiting female workers to me, I will go back to Guangzhou Mansion to find some more people, I believe that this face can still get one or two hundred weavers!" ”

"Afraid of a bird! Done! I don't believe that our brothers are working so hard that they can't eat this order! Shen Liuye looked at everyone and said angrily.

"That's right! Done! ”

"What's the matter, let's share it together!"

"That's it, with the ability of our gang, I really don't believe that I can't eat this order!"

……

Others also expressed their stance one after another, looking full of vindictiveness. Not to mention that the 50,000 taels are attractive enough, and after this order is completed, there will definitely be a big order in the future, and this joint workshop is simply a hen that will lay golden eggs.

In particular, they are all squires of Guangdong, and they all have some face in their respective lands, so everyone can only contribute something. No matter how big the problem is, it can be solved.

Lin Haoran was hesitant before, he didn't like to do things that he wasn't sure of, but he was also moved when he saw everyone working together so and facing a pair of firm eyes.

It's like marching to war, if the soldiers are all high-spirited and united, they can overcome all difficulties. If they have no will to fight and have evil intentions, they are ten times more likely to be defeated than the enemy.

Now, Lin Haoran looked at a pair of eager and determined eyes, knowing that the chances of winning this battle were very high, so he nodded solemnly and said: "Since everyone agrees this opinion, then negotiate an agreement with Mr. Simang, and we will sign this contract." ”

"Good!" Everyone nodded, smiles bloomed on their faces, and at the same time, their eyes swelled with high fighting spirit.

After learning of this agreement, Mr. Simon also seemed very happy, and the two began to draft the agreement, but Mr. Simon said again: "My lord, I must add one!" ”

"Please!" Lin Haoran looked at him with a smile and said.

Mr. Simon was not afraid, but met his gaze solemnly and said: "If the joint workshop cannot give me enough cotton cloth on time, I want your workshop to compensate me with an equal amount of silver taels!" ”

This request cannot be said to be excessive, from Simang's point of view, once the joint workshop cannot deliver on time, then he will lose more than 50,000 taels of silver.

Lin Haoran was not in a hurry to express his position, but looked at the other people, Shen Liuye nodded heavily, and the others also agreed, and the fighting spirit in his eyes seemed to be stronger.

The time was quiet for a while, and then he slowly looked at Mr. Simang again, and spit out one word with a firm gaze: "Good! ”

This word is simply worth a thousand gold.

The ceremony was made in triplicate, notarized by the Yamen of Leizhou Prefecture, and the agreement was officially effective.

The joint workshop is to deliver 50,000 pieces of cotton cloth to Mr. Simang by December 28, with a price of one tael each and a deposit of 20,000 taels. If the deposit cannot be delivered on time, the deposit will be refunded in full and 50,000 taels of silver will be compensated.

With the signing of both parties, the contract was completed.

When the shareholders of Lianhe saw this scene, they were both happy and worried. The good news is that this is the first big order of the joint workshop, but the worry is that their current production capacity cannot keep up at all, and there is a risk of compensating 50,000 taels of silver.

In less than three months, it was not an easy task to produce 50,000 horses. It's just that they have shown a fearless spirit in the face of this challenge.

In the evening of the same day, a banquet was held in the United Restaurant, and the guests of honor of both sides sat together and talked happily. After sending out the generous Mr. Simang, Lin Haoran left Shen Liuye and the others behind.

In response to the problem of increasing the production capacity of the joint workshop, he decided to set up a temporary command post. Shen Liuye served as the commander-in-chief, and Zhang Yuanwai and Yang Yuanwai served as the deputy commanders-in-chief, striving to complete this large order as soon as possible.

For Lin Haoran's novel measure, everyone praised it and nodded in agreement. And once again, they said that they will fully cooperate with the work of the temporary command post and contribute to the advancement of large orders.

"Don't worry, I promise to complete this big order so that everyone can have meat to eat!" Shen Liuye speaks straightforwardly, but he hits the core.

Whether a circle can be stabilized depends not on friendship, but more on interests. Now the benefits of this large order immediately link them closely.

Lin Haoran looked at all this in front of him with satisfaction, he knew that this circle was truly formed. Even if he is no longer the prefect of Leizhou in the future, he will not be able to benefit from him, and even this circle will become his political resource.
