"Kou Industry Department..."
The three of Mu Chong took the initiative to greet him, and when they arrived in front of Kou Ji, their expressions were a little unnatural.
The three of them thought that Kou Ji's resettlement of refugees would inevitably cause trouble without food, but they did not expect that a Baozhou army and civilians were killed halfway and sent a batch of food to the city of Bianjing to help Kou Ji relieve the siege.
Nowadays, the people in Bianjing city praise the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou as sentimental and righteous people. Some people plan to go to Baozhou to buy farms and live with them.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless icing on the cake, but there have been very few people giving charcoal in the snow.
The great ancestor Zhao Kuangyin sent Jingniang thousands of miles away. It was quoted as a good story and blew for thousands of years. This shows that the sentimental and righteous people who give charcoal in the snow are precious.
Like the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou, there are many sentient and righteous people, and they are even rarer.
The three of Mu Chong did not choose to help Kou Ji when Kou Ji was the most difficult. Now they are facing Kou Ji again, naturally a little embarrassed.
Kou Ji glanced at the three of them and said, "Find a place to sit down and talk."
The three of Mu Chong nodded in response.
Kou Ji found a vacant tent in the camp and took the three of Mu Chong in and sat down.
After sitting down, Mu Chong anxiously apologized to Kou Ji, "Kou Industry Department, what happened before..."
He was interrupted by Kou Ji when he was half talking.
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't mention all the unpleasantness before that. I won't take it to heart, and you don't have to take it to heart. I have my problems, and you also have your problems, I can understand.
Moreover, for this disaster relief, you have also given a lot of money and manpower.
It also reminded me at the critical moment.
Calculating carefully, you not only have no faults, but have merits. "
Kou Ji said this very sincerely.
The three of Mu Chong heard that Kou Ji didn't seem to be telling lies, and their uneasy thoughts eased a lot.
Mu Chong squeezed a smile on his chubby face and said: "The Kou Industry Department knows that we are in trouble. The reason why the three of us rushed over to the Kou Industry Department overnight was because they were afraid of the Kou Industry Department's misunderstanding."
Kou Ji stared at the still a little uneasy three people, and smiled: "There is nothing to misunderstand, you are businessmen after all, not officials. I can't restrain you with the official rules."
When the three of Mu Chong heard this, they finally let go of their hearts.
The three settled down, and Qian Lexiao asked Kou Ji, "When do you think about the Kou Industry Department and the wrought iron workshop?"
The fundamental reason why they are embarrassed in front of Kou Ji is that they are afraid that Kou Ji will delay time on the wrought iron workshop, causing them to fail to collect the money they invested, or delaying it for a long time to recover.
Many of the materials used to help Kou Ji in the disaster relief were actually brought back on credit.
With their status in merchants, it is not a problem to go to the places where the herbal medicines and woods are produced, and come back with a large amount of materials on credit.
However, due to the huge amount of supplies, the period of their credit will not be too long.
So they need to let the refugees start to help them create income as soon as possible, and then use the income created by the refugees to repay the account.
Otherwise, they will have to pay the bill out of their own pockets.
It would be even better if you could use the things forged by the refugees to pay the bills.
Between this in and out, it seemed that there was not much money to trade, but they made a steady profit.
Kou Ji stared at the three and smiled: "The victims will be able to make arrangements within three or two days. After the victims have made arrangements, we can start building workshops.
But before building a wrought iron workshop, we have to build a textile workshop first. "
When the three of Mu Chong heard this, they nodded together.
The number of refugees is huge, but not all young and strong men. Among them, the elderly and weak women and children account for a large proportion.
The wrought iron workshop uses the young men among the refugees as labor, and the textile workshop can use the women and women among the refugees as labor.
The establishment of the two workshops together will maximize the use of the power of the refugees and maximize the benefits.
There is no need for Kou Ji to explain in detail to the three of them, as the three of them will understand.
Qian Le smiled and said, "I have sent someone to the Western Regions. I believe that when the spring starts next year, the cotton seeds will be brought back."
Kou Ji nodded, "Cotton planting will take some time. During this time, we can't let the refugees stay idle. So we can let the women among the refugees use wool and hemp to weave first."
Mu Chong groaned: "Although woolen and linen fabrics are not as good as silk, they are in huge demand from the people."
Meng Weizhong said with scorching eyes: "As long as we spin enough cloth, we will definitely make a lot of money."
Cloth has always been in short supply in ancient times, otherwise the cloth will not be used as money, so whether it is silk, linen, or wool, the supply has always been in short supply.
There are enough refugees in their hands. As long as the fabrics produced are not outrageously expensive, they will naturally not worry about selling them, and making money is inevitable.
Kou Ji stared at the three with a smile: "What if there are too many to sell?"
The three of Mu Chong were stunned when they heard the words, and looked at Kou Ji in amazement.
They felt that Kou Ji was telling a joke to them.
When the fabric is still worrying about selling
They can always be troubled by the problem of cloth in short supply.
Kou Ji didn't sell it, and said frankly: "The craftsmen in my house can forge iron that is better than the iron, but also create a spinning wheel that can increase the output of cloth."
The three of Mu Chong's eyes widened in vain.
Mu Chong asked incredulously, "What kind of spinning wheel?"
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "The three-spindle spinning wheel..."
The three of Mu Chong were shocked for a moment.
When Kou Ji introduced Liu Heng and Cao Tong to the three-spindle spinning wheel, they didn't understand it.
But the three of Mu Chong understood that their ancestors all started with textiles, they know textiles well, and they can be regarded as half textile experts.
They knew better than Liu Heng and Cao Tong what the two words "three ingots" meant.
Mu Chong got up slowly, trembling with difficulty in his heart and asked Kou Ji, "Is there really such a spinning wheel?"
Qian Le and Meng Weizhong stared nervously.
They were afraid that Kou Ji was joking with them.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "There are... not only there, but it can also be changed into a three-spindle hydraulic spinning wheel..."
The three of Mu Chong stood up together and rushed in front of Kou Ji.
If it were not for Kou Ji's identity, they would definitely rush to Kou Ji, grab Kou Ji's neckline, and roar at him loudly.
Give it to me!
The reactions of the three were all in Kou Ji's expectation.
The corners of Kou Ji's mouth curled up, and he smiled brightly: "Want?"
The three of Mu Chong had no self-esteem as a big business, and they nodded together without persistence.
Kou Ji waved them to sit down and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about the members of the textile workshop again."
The three of Mu Chong were taken aback first.
Then all smiled bitterly.
They understand.
Kou Ji was still the thick-faced man.
Kou Ji generously let them go just now, not because Kou Ji was kind.
It was Kou Ji who was preparing to blackmail them.
But they couldn't refuse Kou Ji's extortion.
The three-spindle pedal spinning wheel and the three-spindle hydraulic spinning wheel are very attractive to them.
If they had a three-spindle pedal spinning wheel, their silk output in Shuzhong would rise linearly and double in an instant.
In the same way, the money earned will rise sharply and double in an instant.
Kou Ji knew that the three of them could not refuse sex with a three-spindle spinning wheel, so Guo broke the conditions.
"The spinning wheels, looms, wool, linen, cotton, and silk in the textile workshop all need you to pay. You also have to pay for the wages of the female weavers. You also have to sell the spun fabric. You have five ingredients."
When the three of Mu Chong heard Kou Ji's condition, their expressions were bitter.
They produce everything, but they can only make up five of them. How could they be happy.
Kou Ji stared at the three people with bitter expressions and continued: "I don't limit the silk weaving workshop, but you have to promise me that you will not build cotton, linen, and wool spinning workshops outside."
The three of Mu Chong were shocked when they heard the words.
Kou Ji's condition is to block their way of leaving Kou Ji alone.
If they were to be someone else, they would definitely agree without hesitation, and then after getting the three-spindle spinning wheel, they would decisively leave them alone.
But they dare not face Kou Ji.
With Kou Ji's background, if they violated their promise to Kou Ji, Kou Ji will surely destroy their family.
But the five constituents are too few.
They are a little unacceptable.
Kou Ji did not rush to urge the three of them, sitting there quietly waiting for the three of them to reply.
The three of Mu Chong thought for a long time, and finally Meng Weizhong took the lead and said decisively: "We pay for the goods. Although the five components are less, if the fabric is sold to us, it can still make a lot of profits.
Still earn some money.
Since there is a profit, why not agree
Moreover, the Kou Industry Department did not restrict our silk workshops.
For us, the silk workshop is the big head. "
Mu Chong and Qian Le were stunned when they heard the words, and nodded in agreement.
Meng Weizhong made sense.
For them, the silk workshop is the most important.
Three-spindle bicycles can increase their silk output by multiples, and the benefits they harvest naturally increase by multiples.
The textile workshops of cotton, wool, and linen were occupied by Kou Ji, but Kou Ji did not take all the profits. Instead, Kou Ji gave them the power to sell fabrics so that they could get the most from selling cloth. Profit.
They pay money and things, and they still make money.
Since there is a profit, there is nothing to be melancholy.
The reason why they are not reconciled is purely greedy.
But the object of their cooperation is the thick-faced Kou Ji, so it is necessary for them to suppress their ambitions.
The three of Mu Chong looked at Kou Ji and said gravely, "We can agree."
Kou Ji expected that they would agree, so after they agreed, there was no overreaction. He smiled and nodded and said, "Then you go to prepare Mao and Ma first.
By the way, prepare another batch of wood for delivery.
The craftsmen in our house have already dried the first batch of wood in the shade, and have begun to make three-spindle spinning wheels and looms.
After your wool and linen are shipped, you can start spinning. "
Since the three of Mu Chong agreed to Kou Ji, they did not hesitate anymore. They nodded together and agreed to the matter.
When the three of them were about to leave, Kou Ji spoke again: "By the way, invite some textile experts from Shu to teach the female workers here."
When the three of Mu Chong heard this, they nodded and agreed.
The maids, maids, and maids in their house are all experts at weaving, and there are many skilled female workers in the silk weaving workshop, so this is not difficult for them.
After Kou Ji sent away the three of Mu Chong, he returned to the tent and laughed at himself.
After all, he was still a bit cautious and didn't let the three of Mu Chong go.
They were slightly punished.
Although Mu Chong's three people's approach, he can understand.
But being able to understand does not mean he can forgive.
It doesn't mean they can let them go.
If the three of Mu Chong didn't have that ability, Kou Ji might not punish them yet.
But the three of Mu Chong obviously had the ability to help him raise food, but at a critical time because of financial reasons, they did not help.
Then he must punish the three of Mu Chong.
Kou Ji laughed at himself for a while, walked to the edge of the bed, and went to sleep with his clothes.
He hasn't slept for two days and one night, and he is indeed a little tired.
Kou Ji slept until dawn.
After dawn.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly rushed from Bianjing to the tent where Kou Ji was located, and told Kou Ji about the scene that happened in the court yesterday.
He was busy taking over the staff of Du Shui Jian yesterday, and did not spare time to report to Kou Ji, the chief official of the Ministry of Industry.
Now that he has taken over the staff of Dushui Prison in Bianjing City, he will naturally come over and tell Kou Ji, the head of the Ministry of Industry.
After Kou Ji learned that the three of Kou Zhun were in the court hall, and arbitrarily made the decision on the court, he really froze for a long time.
They expected that the three Kou Zhun were angry, so hard.
He didn't even discuss with the courtiers, and began to decide the rules of the court arbitrarily.
Although the actions of the three of them would offend the Manchu civil and military forces, Kou Ji still had to say something.
Domineering!
The big husband should do the same.
Now that you are in power, you have to be more domineering.
Always look forward and backward, always jealous of this and that, it would be better not to be in power.
Just go to one of the Qingshui yamen in the court to be a salted fish.
Kou Zhun's performance is so tough, Kou Ji is naturally unwilling to show weakness.
He instructed the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry to prepare after returning to the city of Bianjing to take back from the third division the right to farm land that was arbitrarily given to the Ministry of Industry in the inner court.
Hearing Kou Ji's instructions, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry was a little embarrassed, "Senior officer, let's go to Sansi to take power. What if Sansi doesn't give it?"
Kou Ji stared, "The inner court arbitrarily gives us the power of the Ministry of Industry, what qualifications does the third division have?"
The minister of the Ministry of Engineering said with a bitter face: "But if the third party makes Li Zi quarrel and refuses to hand over power, it is not easy to get off the official."
Kou Ji said angrily: "You are also an veteran of the court, how can you be so persuaded? You can't grab it, you can't beg for it?"
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Engineering said in amazement: "Why are you asking for it?"
Kou Jibai glanced at him and said, "With your body, you went to Sansi. If you get popular or pushed by someone, then you still have to fall to the ground?"
