Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

A few days later, Qian Dayong's uncle came back to the county from doing business outside. Qian Dayong's aunt praised her nephew when she had time, saying that Qian Dayong has made a lot of money, and that he has made a lot of money by selling things these days. money.

Qian Dayong's uncle had a little disdain for Qian Dayong, so he didn't listen to it, but he secretly kept an eye on it.

One day, he was wandering in the streets of the county, and happened to meet Qian Dayong and Qiao Jiwei.The hemp silk hoarded in their home has been used up, so they have to go to the county to collect raw materials.However, shopkeeper Guo had already greeted the hemp silk merchants in the county town before, and the two of them still got nothing during this trip.

Qian Dayong's uncle's expression changed when he saw Qian Dayong, and he was about to pretend he didn't see him and walk around another intersection.But Qian Dayong saw his uncle when he turned around, and ran to the intersection to block his way, "Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now you are back? I am so happy to see you."

Uncle nodded expressionlessly, but didn't say a word, waiting for him to go away and go about his own business, so don't bother him.

But Qian Dayong was too nervous, he just didn't understand what his uncle meant, and he thought that his uncle didn't like to talk. "Uncle, let's go to the Four Seas Tower to have a meal today, and I will treat you to welcome you."

Qian Dayong's uncle couldn't help but sighed with his hand on his forehead, and was about to make his meaning clearer when Qiao Jiwei also caught up with him at this time. He saw that his uncle was fat and strong, with a serious expression on his face.When he started a company, he encountered such people, and these people were usually his suppliers.These suppliers usually nodded and bowed to him, and he never looked at them directly, but now it is no different from the past, so he raised his head, gave Qian Dayong's uncle a soft smile, and said in a soft voice: " It turned out to be my uncle. On weekdays, I always talk about Brother Dayong and you, saying how you take care of their mother and daughter, how amazing you are. Brother Dayong regards you as his role model!"

Qian Dayong took his hand: "Uncle, will you follow me to Sihai Tower?"

Uncle hurriedly shook off his hand, but there was no trace of disgust on his face, "No, I have something important to do today!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Qiao Jiwei joined the battle calmly and said, "What else can happen in such a hot day, not to mention that brother Dayong should respect the elders. As an elder, you naturally have to support the younger generation."

If Qiao Jiwei continued talking, it would probably involve the issue of fatherly kindness and son filial piety that Kong Shengren said. Qian Dayong's uncle could no longer find any excuses to shirk, so he had to bite the bullet and follow Qian Dayong to Sihailou.

When eating and drinking, it was Qiao Jiwei who communicated with Qian Dayong's uncle. Qian Dayong wanted to interject a word or two, but Qiao Jiwei twisted his thigh as soon as the words came to his mouth, and Qian Dayong had to keep his mouth shut.

"So what are you doing here?" Qian Dayong's uncle asked.

Qiao Jiwei replied truthfully: "Our hemp silk is gone, so I thought of coming to this county to see if I could get some hemp silk, but there was still none." After speaking, Qiao Jiwei sighed: "Hey!"

Qian Dayong's uncle lowered his head in thought for a moment, then raised his head, "I happened to receive a batch of hemp silk from the south, do you want it?"

These hemp silks are additional products that Qian Dayong’s uncle got when he was in business with someone. There is no profit in doing business with this kind of raw materials, so he didn’t resell them. These hemp silks are tasteless to him like chicken ribs, and they have been transported all the time. here we go.He also saw that this was the secret trick of shopkeeper Guo. He had very little personal relationship with shopkeeper Guo. Now that his nephew was in trouble, he thought he had no reason not to help.

Qiao Jiwei's eyes shone brightly, "That's a good thing, we're just wishing for it."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Jiwei wanted to toast him, but he pretended not to see it.Qiao Jiweisi felt that something was wrong, "You are?"

"Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, don't you think?"

Qiao Jiwei suddenly realized, "We understand the truth, and we are absolutely unambiguous about what we should do to you."

"Okay!" Qian Dayong's uncle shouted, and drank Qiao Jiwei's wine in one gulp.Although he still looks down on his nephew, he has a good impression of Qiao Jiwei. He thinks that he is eloquent and knows how to read his words, just like him when he was young. he.

Qian Dayong's uncle got four hundred Wen from them and gave them all the hemp silk.

Qiao Jiwei distributed the hemp silk equally among the villages, but Qiao Jiwei only gave them seventeen cash after weaving a piece of clothing, which was three cash less than before.But the three pennies were not created by Qiao Jiwei out of thin air. It was a part of the cost price subtracted from the hemp silk, not all of it.

With the hemp silk provided by my uncle as a turnover, the hemp clothing manufacturing that was sluggish a few days ago has become prosperous again.The sound of locomotive looms and the sound of pulling hemp silk from various families in the whole village can be heard like autumn rain falling on the ground, and some people from other villages also weaved hemp clothes.There was a weaver woman who was weaving linen clothes in front of the loom all day, so tired that she was sweating profusely without taking a break.

If a wealthy family has two looms, the weaver will teach her husband to weave linen clothes, and the wife and husband will join the battle, which will further speed up the process of weaving linen clothes.Some men have clumsy hands and feet, and when weaving sackcloth, they make mistakes in one step, and the woman reprimands them several times in anger, "It's useless, what a blind bear!"

Shopkeeper Guo had already troubled their family time and time again, Qiao Jiwei thought that if they were not courteous, it would really appear that they were incompetent and cowardly, and they would succumb to the power of shopkeeper Guo.

This time, the production of sackcloth was increased according to Qiao Jiwei's instructions. In order to produce more sackcloth, Qiao Jiwei continued to expand the scope of production. Villagers in several villages were invited to weave sackcloth. Many village women readily accepted, but the conditions proposed by Qiao Jiwei were You must accept the training of Qian's mother.

He had never sold ordinary linen clothes before, and this time he insisted on developing the market for ordinary linen linen.The intention is simple: grab business with shopkeeper Guo.He priced each piece of ordinary sackcloth at 45 Wen, which is [-] Wen lower than the sackcloth sold by shopkeeper Guo.Don't underestimate the five cents, the price difference alone is enough to separate the two sackcloth merchants.

45 yuan is already too low, it is almost the cost price.But Qiao Jiwei didn't intend to make money from these ordinary sackcloths. He made these ordinary sackcloths just to make things difficult for shopkeeper Guo, so that he would fall into a passive position.The price of dyed sackcloth remains unchanged.

Dyed sackcloth is only sold at a specific time, but ordinary sackcloth is sold without a time limit.Hearing that someone was selling ordinary sackcloth at a low price, people in the county went out to buy Qian Dayong's sackcloth one after another.At the same time, with Qian Dayong's family as the core, the whole township has become a potential customer area for those ordinary linen clothes.

In less than a few days, shopkeeper Guo's shop saw a sharp drop in customers.Some of shopkeeper Guo's regular customers have good feet, so they go to the village where Qiao Jiwei lives to buy hemp clothes.A few days ago, when Qiao Jiwei only sold dyed linen clothes, shopkeeper Guo's store income was basically not affected.Now Qiao Jiwei is really offended, and he also tastes the feeling of being indifferent.Shopkeeper Guo felt very regretful, as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest, not only did he not get any honey, but he was stung all over his body.

The sackcloth could not be sold, and shopkeeper Guo was anxious all day long.I have never had such a difficult time in my career.

Misfortunes never come singly. At that time, shopkeeper Guo asked his subordinates to collect all the hemp silk in the village under the jurisdiction of this county, but he just gave them a blank check.Now the farmers have not received the money for a long time, and they go to the people who collected the hemp silk to collect the debt.The subordinates couldn't afford the money for a while, and were beaten badly by the furious villagers. It wasn't until the soldiers of the county government intervened that they were stopped.

Someone found out that shopkeeper Guo was the mastermind behind the scenes, and some angry people blocked the door of the clothing store, preventing customers from entering and not giving shopkeeper Guo a way out.

If things go on like this, shopkeeper Guo will definitely not be taken down in this county, and he has no choice but to pay back the bill. This time he compensated his wife and lost his army. The saved money was handed over to Ma Min according to the receipt.It can be said that you smash your teeth and swallow them in your stomach.

Although he made up for the gap in the linen money, but paying so much money at once, the capital flow of the clothing store was difficult to turn around for a while.Moreover, shopkeeper Guo's reputation was also greatly damaged, making matters worse. At this time, very few people in the county set foot in the sackcloth shop.Helplessly, shopkeeper Guo cut down the staff, and the clothes that had been on the shelves for several months were not touched, and they were full of dust.
