Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1257 The person who smashed the rice bowl is here

  Fang Jifan couldn't understand why a person could do whatever he wanted like this.

   Come to think of it, this is the legendary companion like a tiger.

   What about credit?

   What about ethics?

  Fang Jifan was speechless, took his leave obediently, and exited Fengtian Hall. Halfway through the journey from Fengtian Hall to Meridian Gate, Liu Jian and others greeted him with smiles.

   Come to think of it, they are going to face the Holy Spirit.

  The two sides collided head-on.

  Fang Jifan was busy saluting: "Liu Gong, Li Gong, Xie Gong, how are you?"

   "Okay, okay." Liu Jian smiled.

   These days, a cruise ship has opened from Golden Continent to Daming.

  This cruise ship not only carries out letters, but also takes some people on official business to and fro.

   You must know that it will cost a lot to set up a fixed cruise line for such a long distance.

  Every year, there will be a three-lay cruise ship arriving in Daming, and then departing from Daming to Huangjinzhou.

  Almost every time, these cruise ships bring back mountains of letters.

In this way, Liu Jian felt relieved. He began to know the address of his son in Huangjinzhou. At first, it was in Xinjin. , migrated north.

  This Xinjin means New Jinzhou.

   As long as he knows that Liu Jieren is still alive, Liu Jian's mood is not too bad.

   "Qi Guogong, how are you too?"

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Not bad."

Everyone laughed again, having fun, Xie Qian said: "The weather has become cold recently, and the Duke of Qi should also pay attention to his body. I heard that His Royal Highness and the Duke of Qi are sympathetic to the people. They are afraid that the people will not wear warm clothes after the winter. It is a good thing to lower the price of this cloth. His Royal Highness and the Duke of Qi have such a heart.

  Liu Jian also smiled and said: "Yes, the Duke of Qi is as rich as the enemy..."

  Fang Jifan's face changed, and he immediately said: "I'm poor, really..." He blinked, his eyes were a little wet, and he said with an aggrieved look: "Don't make fun of Mr. Liu."

  Liu Jian smiled: "Okay, okay, then I won't make fun of you. Duke Qi has grown up, it's incredible, he is becoming more and more like a father."

  Fang Jifan thought to himself, it’s also because I don’t have the style of being a father, otherwise, according to my father’s temper, if someone finds out about our Fang family’s property, let’s see if he can break your dog’s head.

  Fang Jifan is different, he is an upright person, so he continued to smile: "Farewell, farewell."

   went away in a huff.

  Liu Jian and the others stroked their beards and couldn't help laughing again.

Li Dongyang lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Liu, I heard that the current price of cloth has risen again. On the one hand, the price has been slack recently, and on the other hand, it is coming to winter. Many merchants are sitting on the ground and raising prices. Now, A piece of good Songjiang cloth is worth one tael or five taels of silver, if it is an ordinary piece of cloth, it would cost a tael of silver."

  Liu Jian nodded and nodded: "Hey, now you know the benefits of having money. Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's go see you."

  …

  Fang Jifan couldn't find Zhu Houzhao, so he knew that Zhu Houzhao was probably nine out of ten, so he went to the first workshop again.

   Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a small gown, was carrying a sack of cotton, howling, helping the weavers with some hard work, looking very happy.

  It's cold and windy outside, but inside the workshop, it's scorching hot, filled with steam, like an oven.

  Fang Jifan went in, and couldn't help but want to take off his clothes. Fortunately, he is a person with three views, strange and upright, and such obscene activities cannot be done.

   "Old Fang, come, come, come, give me a hand."

  Fang Jifan said anxiously: "Your Highness, come."

   "What are you doing?" Zhu Houzhao unloaded the sack and trotted over.

   "There are still ten days to go, Your Highness, what are you still doing here, did you repair the malfunction that occurred in the machine yesterday?"

   "It's been repaired." Zhu Houzhao said: "Not only has it been repaired, but also..."

Fang Jifan nodded and said: "The most important thing to bring down the price is to increase the supply. Now the cloth outside is asking for sky-high prices, especially many cloth shops are pointing to this winter. What about Juqi... In theory, just increase the market supply."

  Fang Jifan said while calculating in his heart.

  Zhu Hou took care of Fang Jifan: "Father told you to go, what did you say?"

  Fang Jifan said with a stern face: "Naturally, I reprimand His Highness the Crown Prince."

  Zhu Houzhao didn't show any joy or anger on his face, he was used to it: "And then?"

   "Then, of course, the minister spent a lot of effort to ease the cheeks for His Royal Highness."

   "Good brother." Zhu Houzhao patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "I know that with you here, it won't be a problem."

   "However, although it took a lot of effort, His Majesty still let out a word, saying that if the cloth price does not drop, His Highness the Crown Prince loses the bet, and His Highness's leg will be broken."

"Hey, father is wrong." Zhu Houzhao began to fall into entanglement: "I don't have the spirit of a contract at all. When I made the bet, I obviously used your head as a guarantee. Why did I change it to my leg?" , No, the father has backtracked, I want to find him, and argue hard."

  Fang Jifan began to grind his teeth, wanting to shoot this **** to death.

  …

  In the workshop, I stayed for eight or nine days in a row.

finally…

  Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao reunited.

  Zhu Houzhao's complexion was pale. After all, he stayed in the steam-filled workshop for so long. Immediately afterwards, Wang Jinyuan began to take inventory.

  Countless chariots and horses have also been prepared.

  In the trading market in Xincheng, the facade of Xishan Cloth Industry has also been completely decorated.

  A warehouse of fabrics, ready to go.

  Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao rushed to the trading market first, and sat drinking tea and resting in the back hall of Xishan Cloth Industry.

   A moment later, Wang Jinyuan came panting.

  Dozens of fabrics of different designs and colors began to appear on the shelves.

  Xishan cloth industry's actions are easy to attract people's attention.

after all…

  Nishiyama is one of the brightest signs.

   Li Yingxing, the shop owner of Li Ji Cloth Shop, was also outside, poking around, poking his head.

  He is a man of some importance in the textile industry in Beijing.

  As soon as he saw him, Wang Jinyuan called out: "Dong Li, why are you standing outside instead of sitting inside?"

  Li Yingxing smiled awkwardly: "Trouble, trouble, why, Xishan Buxing is here too..."

   As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously looked at the cloth on the shelf.

   This look... scared.

  He is an expert.

  The family has managed cloth for several generations, and it can be traced back to the time of Emperor Xuanzong.

But…

  This cloth...

  He walked quickly to the shelf, and he could no longer care about Wang Jinyuan.

  The color of this cloth is extremely bright, and... the pattern is very pleasing.

  Obviously, this is completely different from the cloth woven by ordinary people.

  In the past, Li Yingxing's business model was to buy all kinds of homemade cloth from everywhere, and then send them to the capital for sale.

  Occasionally, there will be some cloth from local workshops.

  But most of them are small workshops.

  Ordinary people weave their own cloth, no matter what else they do, it’s all blue, red, and green, and there won’t be any patterns.

   As for textures.

  Li Yingxing stretched out his hand, and when he touched it, his face changed.

  The weaving of this cloth is extremely dense. Who in this world has such skillful hands.

You must know that no matter how skilled the weaver is, after all, it is limited to manpower. Ordinary cloth will be rough. In the eyes of insiders, there are still many flaws.

  Li Yingxing subconsciously took out his magnifying glass.

  The current merchants use magnifying glasses to determine whether the cloth is good or bad.

  Under the magnifying glass, every needle and thread in the cloth is neat and tidy... What kind of ingenious weaving technology is this?

   Li Yingxing sighed with emotion.

If it is divided according to the previous industry, this cloth can be divided into fine cloth and coarse cloth. For the time being, fine cloth can be divided into upper, middle and lower. cloth.

  But... the workmanship of this cloth, I'm afraid... everything can be classified as the best.

  The scariest thing is...

  Li Yingxing's body shook.

  He suddenly discovered that the cloth was actually wider.

  General cloth is limited by the weaving machine, and the width of the cloth is limited.

  But if the fabric is not wide enough, there will be a problem, that is, it is difficult to form one piece when cutting.

  In this case, it is necessary to let more female sewing workers do stitching and cutting.

  This will not only cause a lot of waste of leftover materials, but also not beautiful, but... there is really no way...

   The hate is obvious, the fabric here is wider, and I am completely satisfied with the cutting of the fabric.

  Li Yingxing's eyes lit up.

  This kind of fabric is already top-notch, even if it is compared to ordinary silk, it is not much better.

  He quickly calculated in his mind, such a good material, even if the price is double the price of the best fabric he has, he will not worry about not being sold, and it will be sold for three taels of silver.

  He looked at this and then that with great interest.

   More and more merchants come in.

  They each touched the material, took out the magnifying glass to look at the lines and stitches, because it was a sample, some people even tore it apart and ravaged it.

  In the end, almost everyone came to the conclusion that this cloth is soft, fine and strong, which is really an eye-opener.

Li Yingxing couldn't bear it anymore, turned to Wang Jinyuan, and said with a smile: "The treasurer Wang is indeed a great expert. With this move, we have compared our cloth, but I don't know that this cloth is priced at a price. How many times, we also want to enter a batch, haha... we are all in the same company, behind the shopkeeper Wang Da, let's drink a bowl of broth."

  Everyone raised their ears and looked at Wang Jinyuan.

Wang Jinyuan laughed and said, "Isn't it easy for everyone to want this? It's easy to say, the raw material price of this cloth is reasonable, and the labor cost is not much. Qi Guogong has already ordered it, one tael of silver, one piece. "

  Damn it...

   Smash your job!

  …

  Second update, there are two more chapters, everyone should write it down together and ask for a monthly pass.
