"Although the concubines don't understand the major affairs above the court, I heard about the fact that the ninth daughter-in-law took over the Fu family at a young age."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, what does this have to do with Xiaojiu's daughter-in-law?

"At that time, the little ninth daughter-in-law sent away her grandfather first, and then sent away her mother a few years later, when she was only fourteen years old. How many big merchants outside are eyeing the Fu family's industry, and not everyone in the hundreds of stewards of the Fu family is loyal to the Fu family, which is really an internal and external trouble. ”

The emperor remembered that he was in such a situation when he first ascended the throne, the old ministers relied on the old and sold the old, and the foreign people were eyeing each other, and he gritted his teeth to survive in those years.

"There have been some changes in the stewardship of the Fu family, but none of the craftsmen of the Fu family have left the Fu family, Your Majesty must be as confused when he heard this as when he first learned about it, right?"

The emperor was really interested at this moment, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Because the Fu family treats craftsmen very kindly, even if the old family owner passes away, they are still willing to stay in the Fu family workshop to contribute to the little family master. The stewards are small in number, and others can pay high prices for them, but there are too many craftsmen, and no one can buy so many craftsmen with so much money. Your Majesty, this is the hearts of the people, and the Fu family naturally does not panic with these craftsmen who are as stable as a mountain. ”

Therefore, as long as the emperor can attach importance to the alliance of craftsmen and craftsmen, and grasp the craftsman well, the bureau may not be able to succeed.

There are hundreds of thousands of craftsmen in the Crafting Bureau.

If these craftsmen make trouble together, the bureau will not be able to stand it.

The emperor obviously thought of this too, and there was a bit of fire in his eyes.

***

Two days later, Fu Yuanling got accurate news, and the smelting workshop was handed over to the Qiao family, and the holy decree had been issued.

Qiao Anyi naturally came to Fu Yuanling to discuss this matter, the smelting workshop was more complicated than the brocade workshop, and the matter was more difficult to handle.

"The imperial court will send smelting workshop craftsmen from all over the country to Beijing, but the number will not be large." Qiao Anyi came directly to King Jin's Mansion when he came out of the Ministry of Industry, "Not a single craftsman from the Bureau of Creation will come out." ”

Fu Yuanling was not surprised, the relationship between the Creation Bureau and the imperial court was very delicate, and he had not heard much about the Rongwang Mansion in his dreams, and the Rongwang Mansion was like an invisible person in Shangjing.

Although, everyone knows the power of Rongwangfu, but no one mentions it on weekdays, the men of Rongwangfu do not go to court, and the female dependents basically do not walk around in the circle of Shangjing Xungui, and the family is like a hermit in the rivers and lakes.

"Don't expect too much from the craftsmen sent by the imperial court, the Bureau of Creation has a close relationship with smelting workshops in various places, and the craftsmen transferred may not be the best craftsmen." Fu Yuanling and Qiao Anyi discussed carefully, "In my opinion, on the craftsman's side, let's find a reliable belt by ourselves." Although it is said that the bureau covers the sky with one hand, it is not really airtight, and our ancestors have done this, who dares to say that the family has no support at all? ”

Qiao Anyi looked at Fu Yuanling and smiled slightly when she heard her say this, "Yes, there are many small workshops in the northwest in private, hidden in the mountains, although most of them are refining some daily utensils, but it is enough to control the heat in the furnace." ”

Temperature control is the most important thing.

"This time the Qiao family is in the lead, is Brother Qiao afraid?" Fu Yuanling asked with a smile.

Qiao Anyi listened to Fu Yuanling's question for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid, why don't you be afraid, such a big deal, if something happens, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to beat you." ”

Fu Yuanling handed over such an important matter to him, and the intention of promoting the Qiao family was obvious, as long as he sat firmly in this position, there would be big merchants with names and surnames in Beijing in the future, and the Qiao family would inevitably be on the list, and they would no longer have to be subservient to others.

"There is no risk-free good thing in our business, as long as we do our best, even if we fail in the end and sum up our experience, we will make a comeback." Fu Yuanling was afraid that Qiao Anyi would be under too much pressure, so he deliberately said lightly, "You look at the current scenery of the construction bureau, when Gao Zucai formed the construction bureau in the early years, it was also a lot of detours, who dares to say that he can go all the way unimpeded?" Brother Qiao, you let go and do it, even if it fails, we can afford to lose, it's a big deal to start all over again. ”

Jo Anyi: ......

Qiao Anyi glanced at Fu Yuanling attentively, and could see that she was serious, so she couldn't help laughing, "Okay." ”

Fu Yuanling is not afraid of a little woman, can he be afraid of a dignified man?

That's right, it's a big deal to start all over again.

"I think about it, the amount of silver that needs to be invested in the early stage of going to the smelting workshop is huge, and only the two of us can't do it." After all, this smelting workshop is not one, but dozens or hundreds, which is much larger than the scale of the brocade workshop.

"That's natural, I thought about the five major merchants in Beijing, the Yi family has already entered the brocade workshop, after all, their family owner does this, and the old business is relatively stable. I deliberately brought in the remaining four, but I don't know what they think. Fu Yuanling looked at Qiao Anyi, "Although there is the success of the brocade workshop in the front, the smelting workshop is more risky, you go talk about it first." ”

Fu Yuanling naturally couldn't do these troublesome things in this state, she looked at Qiao Anyi and added, "The imperial court will produce some craftsmen from the land, and then we must have the right to speak in the smelting workshop, and our merchants will pay some people and then manage the accounts, and the craftsmen of the workshop will still belong to the Craftsmen Association." ”

Qiao Anyi let out a sigh, "This is really hard to talk about. ”

After all, the brocade workshop court only went out of the land, but it didn't care about the affairs of the workshop, and now the smelting workshop court wanted the right to speak, which was not good news for them.

Fu Yuanling looked at Qiao Anyi and frowned, thought for a while and said, "If it weren't for the lack of silver in the imperial court, do you think we have the money to mix it into the smelting workshop?" From Gaozu to the present, the control of smelting workshops up and down Daqian has become more and more strict, and how many smelting workshops can be used by merchants now? All kinds of ores are strictly controlled by the imperial court, that is, now the imperial court is really unable to turnover, so we have a hole to drill a drill, and when the war in northern Xinjiang is over, the imperial court will be relieved, and if you want to invest money to build a smelting workshop, it is similar to daydreaming. ”

Qiao Anyi smiled when he thought about it, and looked at Fu Yuanling, "The brocade workshop is really successful, which makes everyone's heart higher." ”

"Tell them that you are not reluctant. Although there have been some small frictions in the past few years of working together in Beijing, it is still very pleasant on the whole, so there is such a good opportunity to make a lot of money. However, there are more merchants who need it, but it is not that it is not unavailable. ”

Fu Yuanling is not used to their stinky problems, the brocade workshop is a private workshop, but the smelting workshop is controlled by the imperial court, can this be a level?
