Chapter 1120: The Way to Turn Stones into Gold
Speaking of this, Yu Zhiyuan had a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said: "Big brother has to believe in the little brother, these pickled and faceless deeds, the little brother has known for only ten days, and the little brother knows that he is wrong after getting the news, but he doesn't know what is wrong, and he sent someone to check to find out about these things, and he is making some careful thinking up and down, but when I know it, I will acquiesce." β
"But you know, you're going to acquiesce, aren't you?" Zhao Jin asked with a smile.
These words were very straightforward, Yu Zhiyuan's expression was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he immediately replied: "Big brother is right, even if I know, I will acquiesce, the Yu family does have arrogant thoughts, and I feel that what the eldest brother wants to do on the sea cannot be separated from our Yu family, and the Yu family also forgot that it was the Yu family who begged the eldest brother first, and also forgot that it was because of the eldest brother that the Yu family could have today's growth." β
Zhao Jin nodded with a smile, his face was full of light and breezy appearance, but this expression made Yu Zhiyuan a little frightened, and said again: "This ugly family really doesn't want the eldest brother to know, my sister-in-law has arranged someone to be in the Yu family, and a lot of business has to be interfered in, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the family business is half of them, even the people on the younger brother's side are willing to listen to them, after all, they talk everywhere for the Yu family, they can earn more money for everyone, they don't know the ambition of the eldest brother, and they don't know what huge profits the eldest brother has." β
"And what do you want to do?" Since the other party made it clear, Zhao Jin also said it directly.
Yu Zhiyuan hesitated, then a look of determination appeared, and said solemnly: "The younger brother will separate from the elder brother when he goes back this time, and concentrate on doing things for the eldest brother in the future." β
Speaking of which, Wang Zhaojing looked at Yu Zhiyuan, and then looked at Zhao Jin, the matter of brothers splitting the family is very common, the old man died, and there is nothing wrong with the two brothers distributing their own family property, but in the official eunuch family and the local wealthy family, this division of the family is not a trivial matter, the division of the family business is equal to the strength from large to small, and the status in the local area will also decline. Political opponents will seize on this big fuss.
Yu Zhiyuan dared to make such a decision, which was indeed open-minded, but it was such a decision that proved his intentions, but Wang Zhaojing could see that Yu Zhiyuan was a little pretentious, he may be waiting for Zhao Jin to persuade him, and then take advantage of the situation to show his loyalty and then withdraw his motion.
"Okay, in that case, I'll wait for your news." Zhao Jin nodded and said, Zhao Jin is reluctant to interfere in other private affairs, but this sea fleet, especially the Yu family, which has close cooperation with Xuzhou, is very important to Zhao Ziying, and it must be directly controlled, and there can be no twists and turns.
A trace of disappointment flashed on Yu Zhiyuan's face, but then he was firmly covered, and he nodded and said, "The junior brother will handle it when he goes back." β
"The cotton cloth can already be shipped, if it can be sold at the original price, then the original price, if not, we still have to make money two percent lower than the market price, you go back and hurry up and prepare." Zhao Jin said such news again.
Cotton cloth and grain, are bulk in and out of the goods, such goods unit price will not be high, for the wealthy businessmen, do such goods is to ask for a large number of goods in exchange for a lot of profits, two percent lower than the market price, that is to say, you can earn two more profits, calculate the shipment of cotton cloth to know what a huge profit.
Yu Zhiyuan's face flashed with surprise, this surprise was about to turn into ecstasy, he was a giant businessman in Songjiang, and he was deeply involved in this cotton business, so he naturally understood what it meant that this was two percent lower than the market price, and he immediately understood that he had made a choice, so this was the reward for his choice, Yu Zhiyuan's mind turned sharply, and he soon came to the conclusion that it was worth it.
"Little brother, go back and prepare, our cotton cloth produced in Xuzhou has already found someone to see, the density is not as good as Songjiang cotton cloth, but it is only a fraction, it does not affect sales, Songjiang cotton cloth is already in short supply, and our Xuzhou cotton cloth is not enough to sell!" Yu Zhiyuan said very excitedly.
Wang Zhaojing bowed his head again at this time, Yu Zhiyuan was happy here, but if the Yu family didn't think so carefully, the low price reported by Zhao Ziying this time could be forty percent or even more lower than the market price, with the improved Xuzhou spinning machine, the efficiency was greatly improved, and the cost of cloth was also lowered, and according to Wang Zhaojing's understanding, the cottonseed removal machine will be put into use soon, and the efficiency of spinning and weaving will be higher and the cost will be lower.
Originally, these benefits could be shared by the Yu family, but the Yu family didn't get anything because of those careful thoughts, Wang Zhaojing sneered every time he thought of this, if Zhao Ziying treated the Xu family badly, or drove the Xu family to do things in vain, the Xu family's careful thinking was understandable, but the Xu family obviously made a fortune because of Zhao Ziying, but they pretended to be smart, which can only be said to be pitiful and pathetic.
After working hard to come, he chatted with Zhao Jin for less than half an hour, Yu Zhiyuan had to rush back day and night, he didn't complain about it, Yu Zhiyuan knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to continue to get something from Zhao Ziying, it would depend on what he did.
Liu Yong had a lot of hands to go to Liaodong this time, and after returning to Xuzhou to explain the relevant matters, he wanted to go north to Shandong immediately to make follow-up arrangements.
"You have to get used to sitting in the town and grasping the general, not rushing to the front, if you and Lei Zi are always charging ahead, how can you let the brigade below do things?" Zhao Jin directly left people behind this time.
In addition to getting Liu Yong used to being in charge of the internal guards, there is also the need for Liu Yong to accept the organization and manpower of the Wenxiang Sect that belongs to Zhao Ziying.
is a little different from Xu Zhenzhen, after Mu Shulan gave birth, she had no interest in the previous very careful operation of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and clearly told Zhao Jin that she would not care about it in the future, and she would take care of Zhao Qi wholeheartedly.
Originally, the various forces of the Wenxiang Sect under Zhao Ziying were nominally under the jurisdiction of the internal guards, but in fact they were self-contained, far or near under the command of Mu Shulan, with the exception of Nie Hei who were directly captured back then.
This kind of self-contained is extremely inconvenient for the internal guard, and this self-contained situation has been strengthened after the complete defeat of Xu Hongru, the remnants of the Mu family in the past, the remnants of the Shandong Wenxiang Sect, and the people who can surrender are also thinking about self-preservation and seeking superiority, so they naturally form a gang.
Although Zhao Jin was extremely disgusted with the sect, he also had to admit that if the Wenxiang Sect could be used by Zhao Ziying, it would be a sharp weapon to control the Shandong region at this time, at least it could quickly calm people's hearts, and it would be difficult to say the pros and cons in the long run.
At present, Mu Shulan's practice of concentrating on raising her son has achieved the best effect in a sense, and now it is becoming more and more stable everywhere, and it is no longer used to smell the fragrance everywhere, just let the internal guard take over completely, and then break it up and reorganize, so as not to have any more rights and wrongs.
In addition to taking over the affairs of Mu Shulan, Zhao Jin also led Liu Yong to the weaving workshop, that time can spin a few spindles of Xuzhou spinning machine Liu Yong has seen, every time I look at it every time I feel magical, not that this mechanical mechanism is ingenious, but this improvement is really wonderful, the same method, there is nothing difficult to make, there is such an effect, relying on this spinning machine, Xuzhou cloth and Songjiang cloth quality is not much different, but the cost can be lower by four or five percent, which is equivalent to selling Songjiang cloth half of the price and earning, It's a bit of gold.
"A total of more than 20 heads were cut off here and in Jining, and the weavers and carpenters were cut off, and their families were also enslaved forever, so such a ruthless method stopped them from thinking of going it alone." Walking out of the well-guarded spinning factory, Zhao Jin said to Liu Yong with a smile.
Liu Yong was not surprised, and replied: "This method of turning stone into gold is too easy, I want to take it out and make a fortune myself, but I can't think of holding a good thing without roots and no evidence, how can it end well, after three years of staying on our side, I can make a fortune steadily, but they can't figure it out!" β
While talking, the two walked to a heavily guarded workshop, and saw that the guarded Cheng dΓΉ here was no worse than the place where the spinning machine was located, Liu Yong couldn't help but wonder, thinking that something important was going on, only to see a cart of bundled cotton bales being sent in, and another cart of cotton being sent out.
Liu Yong didn't figure it out after watching it for a long time, but said with a smile: "Big brother, our Xuzhou is really a thousand miles a day, and the younger brother has only been away for a few months, and he can't understand many things." β
"It's just that we are diligent and cautious in Xuzhou, and this Ming Dynasty has not changed much." Zhao Jin said with a smile.
As soon as I entered the workshop, I first saw a ginning machine under the canopy, this machinery Liu Yong has seen many times, it is a machine that allows cotton to take off cotton seeds, and it is very simple to stay away, two smooth wooden sticks are set on the shelf, there is a crank at one end of the wooden stick, turn the crank when used, and send the cotton into the two rolls next to each other, the cotton seeds fall, and the cotton comes out from the other side.
"You know how to use this, let's go inside and see." Zhao Jin opened his mouth and spoke.
In the house, there are simple machines neatly arranged, looking like open wooden boxes, you can see the weavers put cotton in from one end, and then collect the cotton from the other end.
When I looked closer, I found that there were two adjacent rollers, one of which was full of spikes, which looked like iron nails, and the other was a brush, which seemed to be made of pig bristles, and there was labor shaking the crank outside, and the drum was turning, and the roller, which was full of nails, hung the cotton and separated it from the cottonseed, and the other roller with a brush brushed down the cotton hanging on the first roller, so as not to fill the wooden box.
Although Liu Yong saw it for the first time, after watching it, he could conclude that this new type of ginning machine was much easier to use than the one outside.
