The court has not yet discussed a result, and as a result, the large and small workshops of the brocade workshop have almost been robbed.

Especially those inspiring slogans, they were put in detail by the people of the Chu Dynasty, and in just half a month, the old face of the Hubu Shangshu went from a face full of folds to a bread with hair, walking with the wind, talking energetically, and having money in his pocket!

Who would have thought it would turn out like this?

With the good start of the brocade workshop, the emperor proposed in the court that a smelting workshop would be built on the wasteland north of the brocade workshop in the western suburbs, and the overall operation mode was very different from the brocade workshop.

Courtier:......

It's broken, and the emperor has also gotten into the eyes of money.

"Your Majesty, if you want to build a smelting workshop in the western suburbs, do you want to transport all kinds of ores from all over Daqian to Shangjing? How much manpower and material resources will be spent on this, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. "Long Chengzhi naturally wants to object, if the smelting workshop also enters the control of the Fu family, it will be terrible.

When Ji Wei heard this, he looked at Long Chengzhi and said: "Long Xiang is afraid that he has forgotten, the smelting workshop mentioned by His Majesty is the ore that has been roughened and transported to Shangjing, and the iron ore workshops in Daqian all over the country are to roughen the ore, and then send it to the military workshop to smelt ordnance and other things." ”

"Even if it is rough-smelted ore, the quantity is extremely large, if it is transported from the extreme south of Daqian to Shangjing, almost across the entire Daqian, I am afraid that the freight on this road will be more expensive than ore!" Long Chengzhi fought back.

Ji Wei laughed, "Did Long Xiang forget about shipping?" His Majesty spent a lot of money to build the Que Zhou seaport, which not only allowed sea ships to trade abroad, but also to bring all kinds of goods from remote places in the south to Shangjing by sea. ”

The biggest difference between Quezhou Port and Yunzhou Port is here, Yunzhou cannot be connected to the inner lake, but the Quezhou Seaport is connected to the lake and the sea, which can greatly speed up the transportation of goods from the north and south of Daqian.

Long Chengzhi's face stiffened when he heard this, now that the construction of the Que Zhou Port has not been completed, and the various routes have not been decided, he has not been able to think of this for a while.

Ji Wei strongly supported the construction of the Shengshang Smelting Workshop, which was justified and could solve the biggest transportation problem, and the opponents in the court gradually stopped.

And Ji Wei is young, many ideas are different from the old ministers of the court, he is very willing to run for the prosperity of the great cadres, not only vigorously support the brocade workshop, now the smelting workshop is mentioned in the court, Ji Wei is even willing to supervise this matter for the saint.

Moreover, Ji Wei was reluctant to be half-official and half-commercial like the smelting workshop and the brocade workshop, after all, the smelting workshop involved secrets such as ordnance, and it was naturally best for the imperial court to completely control it.

But this involves another problem, the new silver in the pockets of the household department has to be used in the west of the pass, and there is no more silver to build a smelting workshop.

Ji Wei felt that the imperial court could follow the brocade workshop to raise funds, since the brocade workshop could do it, there was no reason why the smelting workshop could not do it.

Ji Wei was ambitious and felt that there was a lot to be done at this time.

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, glanced at Ji Wei, and said meaningfully: "Aiqing is willing to share my worries for me, and I am relieved, since this is the case, Aiqing can give it a try." ”

Ji Wei is good at everything, but he doesn't know much about business, and he knows how powerful he hits the south wall.

King of Chu: ......

He was extremely uncalm in his heart at this time, watching his father dig a big pit for Ji Wei, what else could he do?

I could only watch Ji Wei jump down.

Can a smelting workshop be the same as a brocade workshop?

The reason why brocade workshops are easy to raise funds is because this kind of workshop is extremely common, and the people have a high degree of participation and understanding of it, and others will feel at ease to take money for what they are familiar with.

On the contrary, the gold, silver, copper and iron under the smelting workshop are all controlled by the imperial court, such as gold and silver mines, although they are open to the private mining power, but the excavated ore is to be sold to the imperial court, and the smelting workshop cannot be built privately for refining.

Copper and iron mines are in the hands of the imperial court, and they can be relaxed in the past, and in the past two years, a law has been issued that all copper and iron ore found by the people must be handed over to the imperial court for mining.

In this case, most of the minerals related to the smelting workshop are the private property of the imperial court, and the private merchants do not understand the smelting skills, nor do they understand the advantages and disadvantages of the ores.

The King of Chu did not expect badly, and Ji Wei was ambitious, but things did not go well.

On the other hand, the brocade workshop is now almost complete, and the workshop that has been leased out has begun to have artisans in and out these days.

Because the craftsmen of the workshop were responsible for recruiting and teaching them skills from the beginning, the household registration of these craftsmen was not in the brocade workshop, but the establishment of the People's Craftsman Association to manage this matter.

Fu Yuanling separated the craftsmen into a separate alliance to form the Craftsmen Association, which was also to prevent someone from taking the craftsman in the workshop as a demon and making trouble, so that the craftsman and the workshop restrained each other, so they were each other's arms.

What's more, the workshop is now rented to merchants in the form of lease, if the craftsman is bound to the workshop, it is inevitable that there will be merchants who will move the mind of taking the craftsman away.

If they are separated, even if the merchants want to take the craftsmen away, they have to go through the alliance of craftsmen, which will naturally be restricted.

It's a bit of a hassle at the moment, but it's a good thing in the long run.

So now after the separate management, the advantages will gradually become prominent, where the workshop opens, the Craftsman Association will dispatch the corresponding craftsmen to the past, as long as the merchant goes to the Craftsman Association in advance to write a document.

Just north of the brocade workshop, a large area of wasteland has been fenced, and the sign of the smelting workshop has been erected, but it is particularly bleak and not popular.

There are craftsmen available on the Ministry of Engineering, but to build a smelting workshop, you first need to get the blueprints, and the construction of each smelting workshop is completely different.

The metallurgical workshop, the silver workshop, and the copper, iron and tin workshops have different smelting furnaces, different temperatures, and different smelting tools used, and each workshop requires extremely detailed drawings.

Ji Wei came into contact with this kind of thing for the first time, and he took special care to understand it, and he really did his best, and he also called relevant craftsmen to ask about specific matters.

He even went to visit the Creation Bureau and went to the Rongwang Mansion to seek advice.

Ji Wei is a cautious person, and he naturally won't trust all the drawings sent by the Creation Bureau, and he also asked people to go to the big cadre's workshop to inquire and search for drawings for proofreading.

While collecting all kinds of drawings here, Ji Wei also let people release the news of recruiting craftsmen and merchants, and there were many people asking about craftsmen, but the merchants ......

No!

Ji Wei didn't know what was wrong, and led a group of staff members to discuss overnight, trying to find out the crux of the problem.

On the other hand, Fu Yuanling only thought about one problem, there are many female workers in the brocade workshop, although they all belong to the Craftsmen's Association, but female workers are different from male workers, and their affairs are more trivial.

Fu Yuanling pondered this matter for several days, and finally felt that this matter had to be discussed with the queen.

So Fu Yuanling entered the palace again, this time to Fengyi Palace.

The queen was very happy to see Fu Yuanling, especially this time, the queen really liked it more and more, and felt sorry for her that she was pregnant and had to worry about it.

Moreover, as long as the daughter-in-law enters the palace, there must be a good thing!
