Chapter 130: It's not over yet
Those things first spread out of some xiǎo workshop in the Wu family......
Jiangning weaving industry, in the eyes of everyone, has always had a lot of shining figures, some jīng in business, jīng in calculation of business talents are active on various stages, stretching their talents, such as Su Tan'er, such as Xi Junyu, such as Wu Qilong Wu Qihao brothers, and such as Wu Chenghou, Xue Sheng, and even the older generation of Su Yu, all have their own commendable achievements, only to have today's status.
These people are good at business, in fact, they may be able to make achievements in any industry, and there are also some people who are skilled in skills, and each family has more or less their own strengths, and to a certain extent, they also rely on the support of these people.
The Wu family's Xiao Minzhi, this is one of the most important patriarchs of the Wu family, as the first Jiangning cloth shop, "He is in his early years old this year, and he once single-handedly pushed the Wu family's weaving skills to the peak. Over the years, although the Su family, the Xue family, and the Wu family have their own strengths, relatively speaking, "even if the Su and Xue families have strengths, they are not the kind of things that are very obvious enough to distance themselves at the level of deciding xìng, and only the weavers of the Wu family can always be said to be a step above others at the high-end level" These things are also because of the efforts of Li Minzhi over the years.
Nowadays, the steward of the Wu family usually no longer manages too many trivial things. This person loves to visit Qinglou, is addicted to alcohol, loves others, and is a little wild, of course, in the weaver category, "it is enough to be called talented." The Wu family gave him everything he wanted, and he only had to think about how to stay ahead of the weavers. However, he has also been a little busy in recent times.
Jing is the most important steward of the Wu family, "Recently, there has been a matter about the imperial merchants, and the aspects of the workshop and warehouse are actually controlled and watched by him in Cào. For him this matter was "not so much a duty as an honour, for at the technical level, both the weavers and the weavers had already been dealt with, and what he had to do was to watch the fabrics that needed to be sent to the palace in the workshops be made, strictly inspected, and stored in the warehouse, ready to be sent to Bianliang as the first batch of fabrics in the near future."
It seems that the responsibility is heavy, but in fact, the people who can do it are all over the Wu family, and the Wu family is everywhere, and the actual work is naturally the manager who was originally responsible for these workshops and warehouses to do, and the manager of the warehouse is naturally in charge of the work, and the management of the Wu family is just coming to see it once a day, and the rest of the time is his eldest son Li Xia is in charge, and has a good relationship with a group of shopkeepers and stewards, and it is also to make some preparations for the management of the Wu family in the future.
Qi Xia did not really inherit the talent of Qi Minzhi in weaving, but he admired his father from Xiǎo, at least in terms of diligence, and even if he abandoned the extension was insufficient, at least he was more than enough. Learning to be a step-by-step shopkeeper will not have much of a problem in this life planning, not to mention that now that the Wu family is about to carry out large-scale development, it is also the time for him to do something.
This time, his father Jiāo was entrusted with this responsibility, and he also worked hard to establish good relationships with many treasurers and stewards to prepare for the future. In addition, the daily inspection is also meticulous, of course, even if it is so, there are not many practical things to speak of, such as technical content and cào as xìng. Of course, he also understands that in charge of these things, nothing is the norm. In fact, his father asked him to come over just to let him meet and have a good relationship with the rest of his seniors, and he didn't expect him to really do anything. It's just that the young man has been working in the Wujia cloth shop for several years before, mostly learning some management and other things in the weaving workshop under his father, and this time he was finally entrusted with a big responsibility, but every day is even more boring than before, there is nothing he can do at all, and he is actually somewhat disappointed in his heart, but on the other hand, he can only teach himself the business principle that those who achieve great things must be able to endure boredom.
For a month, I have been talking to several seniors every day, and I am actually talking about Cheng Minzhi. This time I was able to get the imperial businessman, in addition to skillfully getting the dyed cloth formula that originally belonged to the Su family under the cào of Wu Qilong and others, the other killer copper was because of the weaver of the Su family, otherwise, if it was just the same kind of cloth, the Wu family would not have many advantages, and it would not be possible to let the Su family understand the situation so easily, and at the banquet a month ago, the Su family named Ning Liheng angrily threw their cloth out of the window because they knew this, and it was the existence of the Shen Shen Needle. Of course, "chatting about his father all day long, young people are certainly proud in their hearts, on the other hand, they often talk to others about these things are actually a bit boring, and some shopkeepers tell him something about Fengyue places, at this time, he has been married at this time, although he is not stunned in this regard, but he is honest and dignified, and he is still slightly embarrassed to talk about these things with those old fritters of uncles and uncles or go to those places together. He went to several workshops and warehouses every day step by step, and recorded step by step, there were uncles and uncles in these places, and it was not his turn to point fingers, but perhaps it was also because of this xìng grid, one day at the end of September, it was the first time he discovered some incongruities.
"Dad, those bright gold brocades in the xiǎo warehouse over there in Qin Minglou look like they are a little faded......"
At dinner at home that night, he mentioned it a little unconfidently. This is a big deal, Li Minzhi was slightly stunned, and then said, "Where is Qin Minglou?" It was the first batch to come out, "The shopkeeper of the dyeing workshop He also said that I am afraid it is not very good, but ...... Where do you see? ”
"Those in the corner." ”
"...... in the corner, it's a waste cloth, well, the first batch, and it's also the cloth that I and Steward Chen think is not ideal, so I threw it there, and the corner is cháo wet, it's inevitable Well, let's go and see it tomorrow morning." ”
Recently, the Wu family has been preparing for the development of the imperial merchant after it has stabilized, and as one of the most famous signboards of the Wu family, he also has some wine banquets and entertainment all day long. Things have been developing for a month, and if something goes wrong, it should have happened a long time ago" Many people in the Jiangning cloth line even left the Su family almost behind, where could there be any twists and turns in such a stable situation?
However, Li Minzhi is also a person who understands the seriousness of the matter, "Since his son came back and said so, the next day he also went to the Xiǎo warehouse near Qin Minglou with Qi Xia to take a look, and sure enough, the brocade was the first batch that had just been dyed and nòng" He took it to experiment with the weaving method and threw it away because he was a little dissatisfied. It is inevitable that the waste cloth will be a little dirty when it is placed in a dark and wet corner, but he can't see too much, and he comforted his son, and the matter was stopped.
Li Minzhi didn't take these waste cloths to heart, and Li Xia didn't think about it for the time being, he still walked in several workshops and warehouses every day. The Imperial Merchants have already decided, and there will be the first batch of 220 horses of Canjin Brocade to be shipped first in about a month. This kind of brocade is currently the signature of the Wu family, and it is impossible to let go of large-scale production, these xiǎo workshops are also in a hurry day and night, "are still trying to improve and screen, the first batch of brocade produced" has also been screened out because of various deficiencies, every day looking at the weaving, looking at the printing and dyeing, looking at the cloth, those golden Yan sè "One day" Luo Xia went to the waste cloth warehouse of the Qin Ming Building again.
The fading of the cloth in the corner has become obvious, "Although it is normal for these cloths in the corner to fade", but some ominous premonitions" still flashed through the bottom of Lixia's heart, and there were actually a few scrapped brocades on the shelf on the side, which were better kept" He opened the box and looked at it, "There are a few horses that don't look like that golden anymore."
"I took the formula of the Su family and just adjusted it" will definitely be bad, and it is impossible to take out this batch to show people......"
This is what his father said before, Qi Xia thought about it, and went back to check some of the rest of the cloth, just like the name of the bright golden brocade, all the cloth was bright and yellow as far as the eye could see, and it was very gorgeous. It's just that for the next few days, the faded fabrics kept dangling in his mind, making him feel a little dazed. The time has entered October at this time, and on this day, he went to the warehouse, directly opened the brocades that had been sealed in the box, and took them out one by one and put them away, "When the Qin steward who is in charge of the warehouse here comes over, the silk satin has been stacked on the table more than two meters high, and the golden ones are almost a little dazzling, no one can stop Xiao Xia, he is still doing it, and surprisingly, several guys who are in charge of the warehouse are also there to unpack the box."
"Cheng Xia! You ......" Steward Qin's words were not finished, because he had already seen it at this time, in the middle of the pile of golden silk, there were two horses showing a slightly different face, and Qi Xia turned around holding a piece of cloth.
"Uncle Qin, there's something wrong with the first batch of Canjin Jinjin......"
Steward Qin just hesitated for a moment, and waved his hand suddenly: "Demolish, it's all demolished!" There was a problem with the first batch of Canjin Jinjin, and when this matter reached the ears of Qi Minzhi and Wu Qilong and others, they were all taken aback. But it's okay" The rest are still good, when everyone is put together, the few pieces of cloth fade obviously, but the rest are all integrated, which at least proves that these later brocades are okay, because the Wu family was not familiar with the dye recipe before.
"We don't know exactly what the problem is for the time being, and these days, we have also adjusted the formula a little, so we can only go back and check what the problem is. Well, find out in time, this is still the best situation. The unfaded fabrics were stacked together, and the gold looked like a wall that would not fall. Glad at this, Uqilong ordered the cause to be investigated, and then the cloth was reboxed. Xiǎoxiǎo twists and turns are often present in the business field, and at this time the twists and turns have gone" The Xia who discovered this matter was also rewarded for this. There are still twenty days left before the first Jiāo shipment of the imperial merchants, and there are not many tasks left, and several workshops are still working in full swing, no one mentions anything about the fading sè, and the warehouse where the cloth is placed is also closed, and the key is held by the Qin steward himself, but it is a few days later, it becomes cancerous.
On the afternoon of the ninth day of October, when a guy passed by the warehouse mén, he found that only the warehouse mén that Steward Qin could enter was open, and he walked inside, in the warehouse where the light was not bright, Steward Qin sat on the side of the warehouse, "He was already a little old, and his hair was white" These days, he looks a little haggard, and others only think that he has been too busy recently, but at this time, something finally showed clues.
Steward Qin, who was sitting there, looked a little dull, looked haggard, and one hand was shaking, "Looking directly at the cloths stacked on the other side, as if he saw something terrible."
The man called out to him, but the old man didn't respond, so he turned around and shouted, "Someone! When I looked back at the pile of fabrics, I suddenly found that in the dimly lit room, the cloth wall that was originally integrated had some uneven contrasts at this time, and about eight or nine pieces of cloth mixed in it had changed a little dark or shallow. The faded cloth mingled with the cloth wall, and at this time it looked like a strange face, and the two eyes were pulled up and down with a twisted lip, and in the room, a smile appeared, and the daylight was blocked out of the mén as if it had faded, and he refused to enter. A few months ago, it may have happened in the workshop of the Su family's cloth shop, but at this time, it was finally like being copied, one by one, and began to be reproduced here.
In the workshop not far away, the workers are still working in full swing, one by one new cloth is dyed, a steward is talking and laughing among the crowd, and everyone is preparing for a better future in the predetermined plan......
……………………
When he received the news, Wu Qilong was drinking tea with Li Minzhi in a beautifully decorated teahouse, "discussing the innovations to be made when the second batch of imperial merchants wanted cloth, and the need to meet with a big cloth merchant tonight to solve the problem of shortage and filling of old cloth", a guy came over and told him what had happened.
"What did you say?" The voice was so xiǎo that Wu Qilong felt that he didn't hear it clearly, so his wife repeated it.
"Qin, Steward Qin is sick, and there are ...... Cloth in fade sè ......""
"What...... What cloth is fading sè? ””
"Those golden brocade ......"
"I know that the Tao is those bright gold brocades! Aren't those golden brocade fades already selected! I haven't found the reason yet, what are you talking about......", "But......" "The man repeated the situation in the workshop and the warehouse, even after this time, Wu Qilong was still a little incredulous for a while, he understood every word, but he couldn't form a specific image in his mind. There are still more than ten days before Jiāo delivers the goods to the royal family...... Maybe it's all out of the picture? Want to fade sè?
"You, what the hell are you talking about?" He tilted his head, his eyes flickering, and then turned back, "What the hell is 1 fading ......?"
A month and a half has passed, and at this point, something has finally accumulated strength, breaking the illusion that it has been deliberately created to be as beautiful as heaven in this month and a half, and then it begins to pull everyone back......
At this time, Ning Yi was coming out of the Xiǎo laboratory by the side of the school, closing the room in the afternoon of late autumn and early winter, preparing to go home. Recently, he hasn't had much entertainment, and he doesn't even have to say hello when he meets many people in his family, which is very leisurely.
