Chapter 219
City Order Huangshi began to feel restless in the morning.

In fact he hasn't been able to sleep well in recent months, especially since August.

The Municipal Department is responsible for monitoring and managing the market, maintaining order, and handling disputes between sales and purchases. It must frequently inspect stores, and if any store is in disorder, the business estimate is correct, or anyone who bullies the weak will be severely punished according to the law.

As a city magistrate, besides presiding over these daily affairs, his most important task is to collect commercial taxes.

As for hosting the brocade weaving meeting, it has never happened before.

When Liang Shuo first came to him, he didn't know that this person was the manager of the manor of Mrs. Xiao's fifth young lady, and it was still very puzzling to hear him explain why he came.

Until he opened the wooden box he brought with him.

The wooden box is made of black velvet, and several pieces of cloth the size of a child's palm are bound on the velvet surface, all cut squarely.

Although the city official is not a great official position, it is more or less a fat job. Huangshi is also well-informed and has a keener sense of business and trade than others.

He instantly understood that the Brocade Weaving Society was not only promising, but also promising.

After learning about Liang Shuo's background, he was taken aback, "Why don't Mrs. Fifth Young Master..."

"My lady said that if she organizes the Brocade Fair, it will be a grand event for one family after all. Only if it is held by the city order can it be the grand event of the West Market, the grand event of Jiyuan, and even the grand event of the entire Northland."

Huang Shi couldn't hear the meaning in the words, and his heart was surging for a while.

Without hesitation, he immediately wrote a letter and submitted it to the state government office.After the government office approved, they sent city officials to the states in the name of the Jiyuan City Office.

When the city officials arrive at the place, they contact the local city magistrate, present a letter, and then a brocade box—the brocade box was prepared by Liangshuo early in the morning. Compared with the letter, this is the real trump card. After all, seeing For the truth.

However, even seeing it with his own eyes, Huangshi's confidence is still insufficient.

It is a well-known fact that there are many shops and businesses in Nandi, and it also represents the highest level of economics and trade in Dayan.However, the northern region suffered from wars and trade was interrupted for a time, so it is far less developed than the southern region, and the gap between the two is very significant.

It can be said that whether it is in the state capital, in the cities, or in the vast rural cities, the Southland far surpasses the Northland.

Although there is often trade between the two places, the variety of goods in the Northland is far less complete than that in the Southland.Big merchants in the North, and even officials in the North, often take advantage of the opportunity to go to the South to make purchases, but there are very few big merchants in the South who go all the way to the North to buy.

What's more, the Kunlun ship sailed to Jingling through the land of Nanzhou, so many rare and rare goods... these are not available in the north.Even the brocade is inferior to the Southland.

In view of this situation, Huangshi had to be worried, fearing that the letters he sent would be lost in the sea, especially those states and counties south of Hanshui... If there were only a few visitors, wouldn't the brocade meeting become a joke.

After the high platform was set up, everything that should be done was done, and the next step was a long wait until today.

Huangshi knew that everything was ready, but he was afraid that the east wind would fail.

Even though the high platform was already crowded with people, there were far more merchants from all over the place than imagined, and there were not a few merchants from the Southland...the more so, the more pressure they felt.

With the sound of the gong, the wooden boards were removed, and there was still a layer of red and purple curtains inside.

There was a faint commotion in the crowd, all clamoring to tear down the roadblock.

"Greetings, everyone," Shi Cheng walked up to the high platform to welcome the merchants from afar on behalf of the Binzhou City Administration and Xishi Order, and then briefly introduced the process of the brocade weaving meeting.

It can be summed up in a few words: the brocade weaving will last for three days, and several kinds of silk fabrics will be promoted every day. If merchants are interested, they can write down the item number, and then sign the order at the market building.

The merchants couldn't bear it any longer, and they all nodded and urged, "Stop gossiping, let's start quickly, I'm so anxious!"

Shi Cheng glanced at Shi Ling asking for instructions, and then raised his voice: "Enlightenment!"

The curtain fell slowly, only to realize that the high platform was divided into three places, and three spacious rooms were actually built.

"Only the first pavilion is open today, and the theme of the pavilion is as above—"

Everyone looked up and found a plaque hanging on the forehead, "The cloud is warm and the smoke is light".

As the name suggests, today's protagonist is undoubtedly Luo.But it's not just Luo.

"Everyone, please enter and watch in an orderly manner." Shi Cheng reminded, and stepped aside.

After the merchants hurried in, the people moved forward again, but they still couldn't see clearly.

They looked at Shi Cheng, "Can we go in and have a look?"

It was just a joking sentence, but Shi Cheng unexpectedly nodded, "The city order said that anyone who comes can enter."

The public couldn't believe it at first, but when it was confirmed that it was true, there were enthusiastic applause and applause from the crowd.

Although the guild hall is spacious enough, it is inevitable that there will be chaos to accommodate so many people at once. Fortunately, dozens of mayors have been arranged in advance in the hall, and the order quickly stabilized.

The exhibition hall is divided into several partitions by board walls, which seem to be distinguished by the types of fabrics.There are different styles of the same fabric, and they occupy a board wall.

The cloth hangs high on the board wall, and there is a wooden fence between the aisle and the aisle, which can only be seen but not touched.

In front of each half-wall stands a maid and an attendant.

The maid smiled and introduced it to everyone.

"'Gauze is as thin as the sky', and square yarn is soft in texture. It is often used as a fabric for summer clothes and linings. It must be familiar to everyone. However, most of you have seen plain weaving in the past. Today I would like to recommend flower weaving to you— —”

As he spoke, he walked to the next piece of fabric, "This is black twig peony pattern yarn..."

The vendors followed subconsciously, their eyes following the maid's fingers.

But seeing three twill flowers from the skein, the flowers are huge, the patterns are simple and strong, it looks very graceful, but not lacking in elegance.

Before everyone could be amazed, the waitress had already walked to the next piece of fabric.

"Three methods of dark flower yarn, the twisted warp is ground, plain weave flower, ground bright flower and dark, it belongs to the category of bright ground yarn..."

"Crane makeup flower yarn, yarn processed with multi-color wefts, digging flower makeup on the dark flower ground—"

The maid walked to the last piece of fabric and stood still, "This piece of sky-blue gauze covered with gold color is as thin as a cicada's wing, and it is like nothing to hold. It is cut into clothes, like smoke, and it is a treasure in yarn weaving."

"Can you take a closer look?" Merchants asked together.

After getting permission, the merchants flocked to the wooden fence, some narrowed their eyes, and some stretched their necks, wishing they could lie down on the wooden fence.

"The yarn is thin and sparse, with excellent air permeability, and the fine weaving is amazing——"

"I didn't expect that the perforations are so uniform and clear in such a complicated weave—"

Amidst the praise, some expressed concerns.

"If it's so thin, will it be unreliable?"

The maid stepped forward to verify on her behalf, grabbed a corner of the gauze and tore it several times, but the shape did not change at all after unfolding.

"Everyone can rest assured that although our flower weaving yarn is light enough, it is quite stable, not easily deformed, and not easily damaged."

Then someone discovered that the robe worn by the servant who had been silent all this time seemed to be made of yarn.

"That's right," the maid said, "He is wearing a brown gauze robe, and there is a plain gauze shirt inside."

So the attendants, who were as stiff as wood and stone, were quickly surrounded by merchants...
