Royal Gold Magistrate

Fangzheng pondered for a while, and saw that the merchants were still anxiously waiting for his answer.

After a faint smile, he replied: "You don't have to worry too much, I have no other thoughts."

"Production and sales can be said to be two completely different paths. Although the production effect of the textile factory is amazing, it still depends on you to sell the goods accurately and quickly."

"Your Majesty often tells me that scholars, farmers, businessmen are all one! Although you are merchants, what you do can be said to be for the country and the people!"

"The grand scene today is inseparable from your contribution, and this official is just sharing the worries of His Majesty."

His Majesty actually said that? !

Still for the country and the people? !The status is so high!

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the merchants flushed immediately!

Although everyone is rich and powerful, their social status is really not good!

Those who have no background are looked down upon by scholars, and those who sell expensive things are scolded secretly.

To put it bluntly if you have a background, it's a noble dog!

Who usually pays attention to you?

But it was different from Fangzheng's mouth.

The emperor is a close minister, and everyone is aware of his relationship with the prince.

That respect was shown in a real way, it definitely didn't look like a fake!

And everyone has seen what he did in Banshanfang, and he did give preferential treatment to merchants.

I didn't expect... I didn't expect... His Majesty and Lord Fang attached so much importance to merchants.

Our future is hopeful...

Someone rubbed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Long live Your Majesty! Thank you, Mr. Fang."

Then three or two, the voices of thanks gradually became a piece.

When Fangzheng saw this, he couldn't help sighing.

It is very difficult for Dajing to do some business, and it is not flattering to be humble. If he wants to put on two Confucian uniforms, he can only dress them up at home.

Seeing that the merchants were thanking them endlessly, Fangzheng quickly waved his hands and said, "You don't have to do this."

"Whether the people in the capital can survive the winter safely this winter depends on your performance."

"Not only in the capital city! When you get the looms, reduce costs and expand production, in the future you will sell your goods to all over the world, so that everyone has clothes to wear."

"At that time, you will not only earn money, but also earn fame! The common people will also benefit from this. This is three wins! Win three times!"

"It can be seen from this that in addition to making money, you also shoulder the important task of enriching the country and the people! Like me, you have moral blood flowing in your body!"

"Will people still look down on merchants at that time? No! At that time, you are righteous merchants! Everyone respects you! Even children aspire to be in business!"

"Whoever saw it, you can't do this..." Fang Zhengyi compared his thumbs as he said.

Merchants burst into tears.

It turns out that what flows in our bodies is the same type of Mr. Fang, the blood of morality!

This is what he said, it seems that this year's winter clothes will have to be sold at a low price...

This word is going to spread today, if it is more expensive, won't it make people poke the spine?

"Cough, well, let's get down to business!"

"Speaking of textile machines, I once auctioned them off in Jianjiang, with thousands of taels! But it was a stopgap measure for disaster relief at that time."

"Now that the situation is stable, naturally it can't be sold so expensively, as long as... 1000 taels, what do you guys think?" Fang Zheng stretched out his index finger.

The businessmen gathered together to discuss again.

1000 taels!Still expensive!Isn't this just a pile of wooden frames with some iron?

Could it be consecrated by Master Huijue?

After discussing for a while, someone stood up and said, "The little man was very moved by what Master Fang said just now."

"I've also heard of Mr. Fang's reputation for emphasizing merchants, so I often tell people that Mr. Fang is my idol!"

"But in terms of business...with all due respect, I don't think this loom is worth 1000 taels. Could it be cheaper!"

Someone echoed, "That's right, Mr. Fang, the price of the loom is indeed a bit higher."

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Fang, my Zhao family's business is all over the north. If you want to buy looms, it will not be useful if you have fewer looms, but if you order hundreds more, the pressure will be too great. I am waiting to do business abroad, and the money in my hand It’s all living money, I really can’t afford that much cash!”

After that, they began to complain about their sufferings with one mouthful and one mouthful.

Fangzheng shook his head with a smile. It is not surprising that bargaining is a must for businessmen.

But what is surprising is that so many people have the courage to stand up and bargain with themselves.

interesting.

Fangzheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Cute! Cute!"

"You are indeed the top cloth merchants in the capital, you dare to bargain with me here."

The merchants were dumbfounded. It was fine just now, but he is not happy when it comes to price cuts?

"But business is all about negotiating. I appreciate your courage!"

"For the sake of your bravery, I will give you a discount. The last buyout price, 700 taels!"

"After I finish speaking, who approves and who opposes?"

The merchants immediately beamed with joy.

I can't object anymore, if you give face like this, if you object again, you really don't know how to flatter you!

Seeing no objection, Fangzheng smiled and said, "Okay, then those who are interested in ordering can go to Banshanfang, and the official will arrange someone to receive them."

"But this year, we won't be able to deliver the goods. Book half a year in advance. During this half year, you can still prepare land, build factories, and recruit female workers."

"Moreover! You can find someone to imitate this loom after you buy it back! I will never stop it!"

"You can also recruit a large number of skilled craftsmen to research better looms. If you can spin five spindles today, why not have ten spindles tomorrow?"

"Open your mind! Only then can you make a lot of money!"

The merchants were said to be overwhelmed.

So generous!It's really too generous, and it's really a piece of cake in the sky after living a lifetime.

This is no longer a pie, it is simply a gold brick!

If you don't come today, it will be equivalent to a loss of [-] million!

Fang Zhengyi still looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

He vaguely remembered the high school history talking about the emergence of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty.

Free labor, factories, and the employment system began with the handicraft textile industry.

These things already exist on the market, but not on a large scale.

Maybe in a few decades... How many big capitalists can emerge among the merchants in front of us?

Once the thought arises, it cannot be suppressed.

The corners of Fang Zhengyi's mouth rose wildly, that would be too interesting.

Maybe I will set up an organization to protect the interests of female workers at some point in the future.

"Okay, it's getting late, everyone can go back and discuss in private."

"You can start selling at a reduced price as soon as tomorrow, and the official who has cut the price the most will select a few places and publish it in the newspaper for free to help you promote!"

"That's all for today, everyone please go back!"

"Lord Fang is righteous!!" All the merchants shouted in unison, emotionally agitated.

Afterwards, amidst constant pleasantries, they gradually left the venue.

Fangzheng saw off all the businessmen with a glance, and sat on a chair exhaustedly.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, I didn't drink a sip of water or eat a sip of rice.

In the future, two lecturers should be transferred from the county to do the work. It is too tiring to do it myself.

After a short rest, Fang Zhengyi rode back home.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a face full of vitality standing in the yard, bragging to the servants at home about his great achievements in violently cracking down on black intermediaries.

Damn!This kid is really idle, I should give him more work in the future!

Fangzheng walked to Li Yuanzhao with a dark face, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Li Yuanzhao turned his head and said excitedly: "Old Fang, why did you come back? I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Fangzheng sighed: "I went to the textile factory, I haven't eaten yet, have you eaten?"

"I didn't eat it. I'm hungry for that bread, Lao Fang, why don't you bake some for me?"

"Hey! No! I'm here for business. I just came from the palace. I heard that the Beirong Mission will leave in two days. Do you want to see it off?" Li Yuanzhao said.

Is the Beirong Mission finished?This is gone?

But when you think about it, they have indeed stayed for a long time.

Paba gave himself 6 taels of silver, which was also used to buy clothes for the people in the capital.

In reason and reason, it should be given away.

"Send! The friendship of the landlord must be fulfilled! I will send them off in two days!"
