Chapter 279 National Weaving

After Bai Ye and Wang Zongwei retreated, he remembered that Wu You had something to ask him for. "Minister Wu, what did you ask me for just now?"

Wu You then said: "About ramie, we released the news and will double the purchase at the market price. Today, 6 continues to be responded, and people around the world are willing to sell ramie to us. However, they are unwilling to trade in Huayuan."

Now Qing Cang has something to ask for them and wants to get raw materials from them, which makes them take the initiative. If this thing is not what Qing Cang and the others want, Huayuan will naturally strengthen. At the same time, these people are also smart. They want to get along with each other, want to do business in Luoyang, and want to do business with Huaxia City, and see who pays the price. Their idea is very simple, that is, they don’t want to be tied to Huayuan. After all, Huayuan’s strength makes them have no second choice, which is understandable.

Most of the people Wu You mentioned are in Shanxi Province, where there is an area that specializes in growing ramie, which is still far from Huaxia City. Then again, if they are so far away, they exchange ramie for a banknote that cannot be used elsewhere, then who would like to do it!

This is the situation now, and Wu You is also waiting for Qing Cang's reply.

"Yes, let them, we can use up the copper coins we bought back."

There are still a large amount of copper coins in the city that are not consumed, and the casting is also a waste of manpower and material resources. Since they want to trade with copper coins, they just happen to take out some of the copper coins to trade with them. They will save themselves a little worry.

"If they want to replace it, they can replace it with our surplus things, or take it aside. There is a premise that we can't lose money in replacing it."

“That would be great.”

"Also, please remember which regions have strong demands not to use Huayuan transactions. Keep the list and I want to conquer them directly!"

How domineering this is? Since you do this, I will make you regret it and directly take over your city. Under my rule, you still have to listen to me. At the same time, you have controlled a large amount of raw materials, which has a profound impact on other places, especially Luoyang.

"Yes! I will record them one by one, and I will definitely hand over the list to you after the transaction is over."

Qing Cang nodded to show his understanding. At this time, he set his eyes on the pile of tailors.

"Tailors!"

"Master Lord, we are here!"

These people were very ashamed. They swear that it was impossible yesterday, but today they were slapped in the face. They didn't know that under Qing Cang's leadership, there was no impossible.

He said: "If these large hydraulic spinning machines start to operate, you will have to prepare the garment. It will still be a month since the first cloth they woven."

"Master Lord, you seem to have one missing link."

"oh?"

“Cloth weaving link!”

Making yarn is just the first step. Before the cloth is formed, tailors can't do anything. They can't use yarn as cloth, right?

"You don't have to worry about this, I will have someone weaving it in sync."

A tailor said, "I'm afraid we can't supply our level for the time being, right?"

Qingcang just smiled, looking confident.

"Come here! Post a notice and touch all the women and children in Huaxia City to sign up here. Ten days later, I will get the yarn here. I will buy it at a price of twice the market price of a piece of cloth."

China has money, so I would rather spend more than weave the cloth.

Volume 73 of "Yuefu Poetry Collection" "Jiao Zhongqing's Wife" says that Jiao Zhongqing's wife "thirteen can weave simple things, and fourteen learn to set off clothes." Jiao Zhongqing is from "The Peacock Flying Southeast". He is a small official from Lujiang County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The ancient records in this article show that women weaving were very popular at that time, and only Qing Cang thought of this. Since everyone can weave, I will send it down.

"Nine Chapters of Arithmetic: Deficiency" says: A novice can weave more than two feet and five inches a day on the fifth day. One foot in the Han Dynasty is equal to 23.75 cm. Just count it and you can weave 60 cm in a day. This is only a novice, and it is not impossible for a veteran to take one meter. It takes only two meters to take two meters. Think about thousands of women weaving together, how can this supply not keep up?

The tailors didn't know the power of his order. The guards quickly went down to convey the order. In less than an hour, the whole city was filled with a large number of women. In ancient times, women rarely did heavy work, such as doing some textiles and handicrafts. If they were used as money, they could basically get half of the annual income of the family. He could also generate income for these women, improve their quality of life, and narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.

There are at least 5,000 of these women, and the number is still rising. Think about it, one meter a day per person, and five thousand people will be five thousand meters. As time goes by, this number will only increase.

Moreover, weaving and spinning are carried out simultaneously, not in the time mode of 11=2. When the yarn comes out, it is immediately woven into cloth, instead of waiting for the yarn to be completed before we weaving the cloth.

Looking at the women rushing to the top, the tailors seemed to realize that what Qing Cang said was true. At the same time, they also admired his appeal.

Of course, appeal is one aspect, but on the other hand, it is related to money. Think about it, you can earn three times the money by spending the same time. Who doesn’t want to do it?

Qing Cang ignored the wonderful expressions of these tailors. He was already used to everyone's reaction.

The power of aunts and aunts is indeed huge, because these women have started chatting and chatting non-stop, saying that the cat of Zhang San’s family is lost, and the pig of Li Si’s family is pregnant. The so-called three women in one play, let alone these five thousand women?

"Everyone, calm down!"

At this time, the speaker was equipped and Qingcang stood on the high platform to speak.

"I believe everyone knows the purpose of letting you come today. My Chinese Army will purchase your textile fabric at a price of one twice the market price. The yarn will start to be put in ten days. But I have one requirement that each person can only receive two days of work, at most three meters of cloth, and the part will not be purchased at this price. That is to say, you will receive it once every two days. Please note that the yarn must be collected from us, and spinning by yourself is not allowed. Someone will accept your cloth at that time."

This regulation made everyone confused. There was such an operation? But who asked them to buy it at a high price? If you don’t listen to them, it would be useless if the market price is still available.

The purpose of his doing this is to maintain cloth output every day, and the second is to maintain the quality of all yarns in a unified manner.

A girl asked, "What about the picture? Who are we looking for?"

"The patterns will be announced by these tailor masters around me at that time."

...

These people asked some questions about other aspects, and Qing Cang answered them one by one. Now, ten days later, Wang Zongwei built a large number of hydraulic large yarn cars, and Wu You's purchase of hemp raw materials.
