Chapter 169

After reading the list of members of the chamber of commerce, Gongsun Yan will approve the note later and ask Jiang Shuzuo and Guan Ning to cooperate. After these merchants pay their membership fees, they will sign documents in triplicate with them.

The document was the version that Gongsun Yan spent the whole night arranging.

The format and terms are completely different from the current deed. It clearly clarifies the rights enjoyed by members of the chamber of commerce and the transaction fees paid.

More importantly, it is added that the right of interpretation belongs to Lulong County Government.

Although these are troubled times, such a document has almost no binding force. In troubled times, the fist is the greatest truth.

But officials always have to pay attention to rules when doing things.

Clarifying rights and responsibilities is a constraint and a disguised protection for these merchants.

There are so many loopholes in the current laws of Han Dynasty that Gongsun Yan doesn’t know which link or which greedy worm would smell the fishy smell and bully the merchants to hinder her plan.

If anything happens, it can be regarded as a good teacher.

Zhao Yun is not in Lulong County, but Xia Houlan is not a small character who is easy to deal with.

After discussing some details with Guan Ning in a low voice, Gongsun Yan picked up the deed handed over by Guan Ning.

Guan will use the carpenters, painters and potters owned by his family to exchange the shares of plastic utensils with Gongsun Yan.

The Guan family has been selling lacquerware and pottery outside Guan, so they naturally have complete lacquerware and pottery factories.

The lacquerware of the Guan family is not famous for its exquisiteness, but for its sturdiness. It is the result of the research of craftsmen trained by Guan Yang after many years of hard work.

When they first met, Gongsun Yanbian placed lightweight wheat straw tableware and portable plastic water basins and kettles in front of Guan Yang.

Seeing these colorful things that looked like jade but not jade, Guan Yang was surprised at first, and then his face instantly turned pale as paper.

The Hu people outside the Great Wall all live a nomadic life. Compared with delicate and fragile pottery products, they prefer lacquerware and woodware that are light and easy to carry, so that they can roll up their tents and move at any time.

Plastic products that are durable, lightweight and portable are almost tailor-made for Hu people.

No, not only the Hu people, this kind of durable and lightweight utensils also has a huge market in the Han Dynasty.

Especially after Gongsun Yan revealed the price, Guan Yang could imagine how something like this could squeeze out the lacquerware industry in a short period of time.

A piece of lacquerware, starting from the wooden tire, needs to be painted and polished seven times, and the construction period is nearly a month before a smooth finished product can be obtained.

As for this thing called plastic, Guan Yang didn't know how to make it or what the raw materials were, but judging from the cabbage price given by Gongsun Yan, it was definitely not difficult to make.

If the lacquer shop is squeezed to death, the Guan family, as a city-registered merchant, does not control as many acres of land as other wealthy families with big surnames, and the family's livelihood will no longer be secure.

After thinking about his joints, Guan Yang almost collapsed.

It was Gongsun Yan who proposed a deal and saved him.

Although Guan Yang had the idea that Gongsun Yan was deceiving him, he quickly denied it.

People's actions are linked to their goals, just for some lacquer craftsmen. Lady Gongsun definitely doesn't need to go to such trouble and be shameless.

As the owner of Lone Bamboo Manor, with the Lord of Lulong County standing behind her, she didn't have to act like this.

But in this case, Guan Yang will have to face a very difficult choice.

The Guan family's lacquer, carpenters and potters are Guan Yang's hard work.

How could he be willing?
But, does he have any room to refuse?
No.

Madam Yan did not take out these things to force him. It was inevitable to sell these artifacts.

He should be grateful that Lady Yan could reveal it first and give the Guan family a way out and time to react.

Guan Yang acted very quickly after thinking through his joints.

After telling the truth to the clan elders within the Guan clan, Xia Houlan was asked to lead troops to reason with them.

Finally, the internal obstacles were cleared, and the deed was handed over to Gongsun Yan today.

"We will personally send these craftsmen to Lone Bamboo later." There was no trace of displeasure on Guan Ning's face.

Compared with Guan Yang, who built the lacquerware workshop single-handedly, Guan Ning doesn't have so many emotions.

As soon as the deed was signed, the lacquer and carpenter family moved to Guzhu Manor, and the first batch of goods could be transported from Guzhu to Guan's warehouse in Lulong County.There is also a one-year exclusive right to sell plastic products.

Compared to Guan Yang, who is thinking about the future and future of his family, Guan Ning is more happy that he has an opportunity to show off his skills.

As a woman, even if she takes charge of the Guan family when her father is away, she only follows the route and rules set by her father Guan Yang.

She could set up a tea shop at the festival market on a small scale, but when it came to other things, she had no room to interfere.

But it was different in front of Lady Yan.

"Ms. Yan, the weaving workshop will be completed in three days at most."

This weaving workshop was an architectural drawing that Gongsun Yan exchanged for [-] points from the system.

Among them, the design drafts of the hand-operated flying shuttle loom and the spinning jenny are the real core.

As soon as Gongsun Yan had a lot of money, he exchanged the drawings and gave them to the carpenter in Guzhu Village.

The construction drawings of the weaving workshop were handed over to Guan Ning.

Gongsun Yan could see the hidden flames in Guan Ning.

She longed for a space to express herself.

Gongsun Yan is very happy to see such ambitious people around her. Even she dares to use Midwife Li, let alone a young girl like Guan Ning.

Therefore, Gongsun Yan gave full power to Guan Ning for the construction of the weaving workshop.

Let her lead the construction of the weaving workshop to see her ability.

I didn't expect her to be so active. On the one hand, she was assisting in the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, and on the other hand, she was building the weaving workshop.

She was able to do both and complete it so quickly.

Gongsun Yan looked at the green and black under her eyes, and then looked at her bright eyes.

Gongsun Yan smiled at Guan Ning and said, "An Ning should also pay attention to his health and don't work too hard."

"Thank you, Madam, for your concern." Guan Ning also smiled, but like many people who worked hard, she was still immersed in the results of her first work.

Gongsun Yan shook his head helplessly. He was young and didn't know how hard it was to work overtime, but he still didn't realize the dangers of society. He thought to himself that he would give her a jar of facial mask later.

"Since the manufacturing workshop can be completed in three days, why not ask Aning to take care of the recruitment of female workers."

"What?" Guan Ning was stunned. Recruitment has always been a matter for government officials. She?May I?
Seeing the surprise on Guan Ning's face, Gongsun Yan encouraged her: "A Ning can definitely do it!"

In fact, women in this era did not strictly follow the model of men farming and women weaving as Gongsun Yan thought.

Even traditional farmers in rural areas have to do any heavy physical work in order to survive when there is a shortage of labor.

"Wei Lue" also records that Xiahou Ba's thirteen- or fourteen-year-old sister went out to collect firewood and was "acquired" by Zhang Fei.

This word has a profound meaning, and only the person involved knows the specific situation.

Girls like Xia Houyuan's daughter also have to go out to collect firewood.

As for the city, there were even healthy women who participated in recruiting workers to build the city wall.

A woman can do the work that a man does.

But even if her family is wealthy and respected, she still cannot become a village elder.

Guan Ning's lack of confidence stems from this.

She looked at Gongsun Yan who was a step away with some hesitation.

Under the golden sunshine of sunset, the girl sitting among the flowers smiled encouragingly, her eyes like honey wine.

Guan Ning's heart suddenly lightened.

"it is good!"
