Chapter 171 Wool
"I've already understood the meaning of the head of the noble. You should take a break and wait for the arrangement." Situ Changfeng put away the letter calmly and said.

"Yes, I understand!" Li Quan replied respectfully, and then quietly sat aside.

"I heard that the governor of Situ needs the help of a merchant, and the head of the family specially asked the old man to come and work for him." Cui Ping said with a warm smile.

"Thank you Cui Patriarch on my behalf. I really need help. Yizhou is wild. It would be great if the Cui family can help sell the grain." Situ Changfeng nodded.

"This matter is not a problem for the Cui family. I just hope that Governor Situ will not forget about the Cui family in the future." Cui Ping said with an unchanged smile.

"Of course!" Situ Changfeng nodded in response, but he couldn't help but raise his vigilance in his heart. If the Cui family made a request directly, it would be easier to deal with it, but it would be embarrassing for him to act like he didn't ask for anything in return. You know There is no such thing as a free lunch.

The Cui family transported grain from the Central Plains and sold it to the Yizhou government, and there was almost no profit in the process.

"Don't worry, governor, the Cui family has no other intentions. I just heard Mrs. Su mention that you are generous and worthy of friendship, that's why there is an old man outside the pass!" Everyone said that he was an old man, and Cui Ping seemed to have guessed Mr. Situ Feng's thoughts continued to explain.

"So that's it, let me reply to Mrs. Situ, after returning to Beijing, Situ Changfeng is going to visit to thank you!" Situ Changfeng suddenly realized.

"The Patriarch knew that the young master needed manpower here, so he specially arranged for the younger one to bring fifty personal guards, all veterans who had been trained by the Patriarch himself." Jiang Yi stood up and clasped his fists.

"That's great! Brother Jiang came at the right time. A new batch of soldiers needs to be trained. The mines and cities also need to be guarded. I feel that there is a shortage of manpower." Situ Changfeng said with a smile. Of course, the personal guard is not bad, and it is very reassuring to use.

"Jiang Yi is at your disposal!" Jiang Yi was also very happy to see Situ Changfeng being so polite.

"The old slave is not good at fists and feet, the master specially asked the old slave to stay and help you with chores." Zheng Hou took the topic and said.

"Thank you Mr. Zheng! I don't know how good Mr. Zheng and Li Wan will be when you come out." Situ Changfeng asked with concern.

"Mr. Lao is thinking about it. The owner of the family is strong. He drinks two cups a day. He is very contented. It's just that the young lady misses you very much and mentions it every day." Zheng Hou replied respectfully.

"Okay! Thank you all, Mr. Cui, if the Cui family is interested, you can buy wool, as much as you want in Yizhou, two copper coins per catty;
Brother Jiang, please familiarize yourself with the army first, and then make arrangements. For matters in the governor's house, please leave it to Mr. Zheng. Mr. Li can follow the guards to the mines. All production procedures are available there. "Situ Changfeng made arrangements for several people.

After the arrangements were made, Situ Changfeng went to the workshop again. With this large amount of food coming, it can be said that the people's hearts became very stable at once.

In the past, the common people were worried that with so many people eating three meals a day, I am afraid that it would not be long before Yizhou would run out of food.

Now that a large amount of food is coming, everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes, so they naturally let go of their worries.

After the wool is recovered, it is transported to the workshop, soaked in alkali to remove grease and sundries, and the wool becomes very smooth.

Then, like silk, it is spun into threads by clever women to make a piece of cloth. Although the cloth is thick, it is very warm when made into clothes. Compared with silk, the price can be said to be heaven and earth, extremely cheap.

Under Situ Changfeng's instruction, the down on the sheep's body was made separately, and the cashmere coat was softer, lighter, and very warm.

When Zhao Guangren, Jiang Yi, Zheng Hou and others saw the wool and cashmere clothes made, they were all stunned.

You must know that wool was synonymous with uselessness in the past, and herdsmen often used wool to describe a person's uselessness and hindrance.

Even when herdsmen make sheepskin clothes, they first expose the wool to the outside instead of letting the wool inside.

And even if merchants buy sheepskin, they will make other items, and no wool will be left.

"Guye is really a god!" Zheng Hou stretched out his wrinkled hands, touched the cashmere clothes tremblingly and exclaimed.

"What kind of god, just think more!" Situ Changfeng touched the soft clothes, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile.

"There are rumors in the capital that my uncle is the God of Wealth descending to earth, so there are so many unreal things. It seems that the rumors are true!" Zheng Hou sighed.

"Nonsense, everyone is a mortal with flesh and blood, and these things are also made by these skillful women." Situ Changfeng argued with a smile.

Then, without waiting for others to ask questions, he immediately ordered rewards for the workshop workers, which caused the workers, most of whom were women, to cheer.

The workers in this workshop are all women recruited by Illinois, who separate the wool rinsing from the wool making, and they are all from Tang Dynasty, so they are not afraid of being stolen by others.

In addition to Situ Changfeng's generous remuneration, workers pay more attention to secrecy than Situ Changfeng, and treat everyone with a taboo look, even the family members do not tell them in detail.

This is also because I am afraid that if more people know about it, it will affect my work. After all, if I leave here, I will never find such a generous salary.

"Can this thing feed Yizhou!" Situ Changfeng asked the others with a confident smile.

"This clothing is simply a treasure for winter. Not only is it cheap, but it is also easy to make, and it is so warm. I am afraid that no matter how many there are, it will not be enough to sell." Zheng Hou said excitedly.

"My subordinates will continue to recruit people and gather all the women in Yizhou." Zhao Guangren stood up and said with firm eyes as if seeing the prosperity of Yizhou.

"Okay, recruit all the women who know how to weave in Yizhou, and speed up the production. As for the wool, let your own people buy it!" Situ Changfeng said to several people.

"The Li family is willing to send people, capital, and build a workshop. Please allow the county sheriff. As for the conditions, you can put forward whatever you want." Li Quan begged, envious of the profits that wool can generate.

"Of course, the world is so big that Yizhou can't finish this business. Longyou Road, the Western Regions, and Eastern Turks will be handed over to Yizhou. The rest of the land will be owned by the Li family, Luo family, and Yuchi family The five families of the Zheng family and the Cheng family contributed their talents and established workshops in various places.

As for the requirements, there are only two. The first is to treat the people of Tang Dynasty kindly, and the treatment should not be too low. Second, [-]% of the profits will be handed over to the court, and [-]% of the profits will be reserved for Princess Jinyang!A certain hand does not stick. " Situ Changfeng thought for a while and said.

"Li Quan understands, so I will go back to Beijing to report to the patriarch, and discuss with several other families at the same time." Although Li Quan did not understand why Situ Changfeng would mention Princess Jinyang alone, he knew the principle of not getting involved in royal affairs, and did not Ask more, and immediately nod to indicate that you have written it down.

"Thank you, uncle, this old slave will write to the owner immediately!" Zheng Hou grinned, showing his black teeth.
