In fact, compared with other countries in the same period, the commerce of the Northern Song Dynasty was already extremely developed, but in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, due to the corruption of ink by the court and the inferiority, this shortcoming has not been eradicated. People do not have a living, except for the real capital cities, the rest of the counties and counties are in depression.
But as the country of silk, the textile industry in the Northern Song Dynasty has always been extremely hot.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 58 prefectures and counties in the north and 48 in the south. In addition to the Yellow River Basin and Sichuan and Shu, the two textile centers that existed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the Taihu Lake Basin, have rapidly emerged as new textile centers, and the number of products surpassed that of the northern region. The number of silk fabrics in the South exceeds that in the North. 18, 15 of northern varieties.
The organizational form of textile production in the Song Dynasty not only inherited from the previous generation, but also developed more innovatively. The main manifestation is that the traditional government-run and private-run business methods still exist, but there are innovations in the specific operation and degree of specialization. In order to protect the royal and government’s need for textiles, in the Song Dynasty, especially during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, government-run textile factories were established in Kaifeng (Bianjing) in Tokyo, Luoyang in Xijing, Chengdu and other prefectures to concentrate manpower and material resources to produce high-end and high-end production. The product.
There are many organizations that manage the textile industry, and the Textile Bureau is one of the largest.
With Tongguan's warrant and Tonglu's leadership, except for a few places such as the imperial palace, the Wuhan University and his party can be said to be unimpeded.
Tong Lu didn't want to come. After all, he was overcast by Wuhan University last time, and he was brought down directly, especially when the toilet was sent to Tong's Mansion recently. Tong Lu learned of the thing that Wu University used when he knocked him fainted. After people use the toilet, they hate Wu Da.
However, after Tong Guan yelled at him for a while, Tong Lu had no choice but to lead Wu Da to the Textile Bureau.
Wu Da knew that Tong Guan wanted to mediate and ease the conflict between the two, so naturally he would not be tensed. He apologized to the young master Tong Lu Tong, and promised that Tong Lu would be invited to Zui Xian Ju to have fun after he was done. Tong Lu reluctantly stopped squeezing and arguing.
Tong Lu, as Tong Guan’s second son, is one of the dandies with the largest background in the entire Song Dynasty. In Bianjing, everyone knows that no one knows. Of course, the Textile Bureau dare not hide it, and directly bring Wu Da and so on. People came to the "Wenxiuyuan".
Wenxiuyuan is a government-run dyeing institute. It was established in the third year of Chongning by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (AD 1104). It specializes in embroidery and has 300 assassins.
In addition to embroidery, the Wenxiu Institute also has two government-run dyeing institutes closely related to textiles, with 613 artisans and a very fine division of labor.
According to incomplete statistics, there were only about 2,200 artisans in the entire Kaifeng Prefecture and government-run textile, printing and dyeing and other artisans. The Wenxiu Institute alone accounted for about 1,000 people, which is a huge scale.
Due to the strong background, the textile tools and technology of the Wenxiu Academy were the best at that time, and the pedal spinning wheel of the Tang Dynasty was widely used here.
With Tong Lu and officials from the Textile Bureau leading the way, the deacon of the Wenxiu Academy did not dare to be sloppy. After learning about the intention of Wuhan University, he directly brought the University to watch the most exquisite "fine silk" and the "Dong" which is known as the number one in the world. Silk".
The fine silk fabric is smooth and consistent on the front and back, and the workmanship is extremely fine, but the specifications are too small and the size is not suitable for Wuhan University to use in plastic greenhouses, but Wuhan University still orders a large number of them and prepares to send back to Yanggu to make clothes for Jinlian and others use;
However, it was introduced from Chengwu County in Shanzhou to further evolve the "thin silk" into the East Silk fabric. It looks like a fog, is durable, and is of high quality and large quantity. It fully meets the requirements of Wuhan University and has become the first choice of Wuhan University.
This kind of fabric is a special product, most of which were bought by the harem of Song Huizong and the court's precious gold, and ordinary people could not buy it.
Of course, there is the face of General Tong Guantong, and the Textile Bureau and the Wenxiu Academy did not even dare to talk nonsense, and directly agreed that they would give as much as Wu University wanted.
Moreover, it is better to pick up the goods first, then pay the money, and you can return the goods if you don’t need it.
Wuhan University was pleased to accept it, and could only sigh that there is someone in the court who can do things well!
If there is no profit, it is a bastard. You have the right not to use it, and it is invalid after expiration. Naturally, there is no need to say more about this.
Of course, since the money is made cheap, it is natural to "bleed" something.
Wu Da waved his hand, Drunk Xianju, walked up!
…
Zuixianju's reputation in Bianjing has grown. Of course, no one knows that the owner of this restaurant is Wuhan University.
According to common sense, the private room of Zuixianju needs to be booked in advance, and the shopkeeper is extremely tough. It is said that even the children of Cai's Mansion have lost face here in the first few days.
According to common sense, Tong Lu’s face is not greater than that of Cai’s children, but the shopkeeper of Zuixianju is an old man from Wufu in Yanggu County. He is clever and smart. He directly ordered someone to open the private room, but he smiled and said: "Young Master Tong is coming to Zuixianju, and he is full of brilliance. Today the villain is going to be the host. Please Young Master Tong as he pleases."
Tong Lu didn’t know that this shopkeeper was the back door for Wu Da, and thought that Zuixianju deliberately gave him face, which is tantamount to changing Cai’s face again. Tong Lu was in a great mood and even praised the shopkeeper’s knowledge. So sensible.
Wu laughed and said nothing.
At today's banquet, Tongjia Tonglu is naturally the biggest protagonist. Recently, Wu Zizhen, who has been famous in Bianjing, is the well-deserved male number two. The officials and deacons of the Textile Bureau and Wenxiuyuan willingly become supporting roles.
Although due to the arrival of Wuhan University, the chef of Zui Xianju got the instructions from the shopkeeper and made a well-deserved "feast" by pressing the bottom of the box. Unfortunately, apart from the Wuhan University, no one was on the table at all. It took a lot of time and thoughts to flatter Tonglu, trying to get a little bit of relationship with Tong's family.
Zuixianju’s wine is not the kind of light and watery counterfeit products originally from the Da Song Dynasty. It is all the wine from the Wu’s Distillery. The degree is not low. After a lot of coveting, even if Tonglu’s alcohol volume is amazing, it can’t stand these flattering officials. After about an hour of bombardment, they quickly quit, and they were drunk and dim-eyed.
Wu Da looked at the sky outside the window, it was time to go back to Chen Liu, so he got up and helped Tong Lu, said goodbye to many officials, went out of Drunken Xianju, put Tong Lu on the carriage, and then took a long breath and settled down. , Nodded slightly to the shopkeeper of Zuixianju who was standing at the door, turned on his horse, and left the city.
…
Wu Da didn't know that shortly after he left, Tong Lu, who was clearly drunk and awake in Miki's arms in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes and said indifferently:
"Notify them that Wu Zhi has left the city and is ready to do it at any time."
Miki smiled sweetly.
"Master, rest assured, everything is ready."
Tong Lu smiled slightly, nestled in the gentle village, and continued to pretend to be drunk.
(The first half of this chapter is very tiring to write, and the materials that have been searched for a long time are historical texts after all. I don’t want to fake a cloth that can cover the greenhouse out of thin air. It’s too out of thin air. Of course, I may also be thankless if I do this. If the book friends are not happy, you can just pass by and read the plot directly.)
