"It's refreshing." Li Qing praised, and then added: "This matter cannot be accomplished overnight. It can take as little as three years or as long as five years. You don't have to rush now."
The main thing is that he hasn't said hello to Zhu Qizhen yet.
Shen Xin asked: "Sir, the common people are willing to cooperate with the imperial court. Is the imperial court...?"
"Are you talking about raw silk?" Li Qing asked with a smile.
"Yes." Shen Xin nodded, "To be honest, the grassroots people also purchased a lot of raw silk in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but... it won't last long. I hope you can give some to the grassroots people, at least to get through this year, otherwise the workshop will have to pay for it before the year. Forced to stop work.”
"I'm afraid this won't work." Li Qing shook his head.
Shen Xin was puzzled, "Why? With so much raw silk, the Weaving Bureau can't use it all?"
Because raw silk is real, not a piece of cake... Li Qing explained, "To be honest with you, the weaving bureau in Suzhou and Hangzhou will also be reopened. These raw silks are still of great use."
Shen Xin was helpless, "What about the ordinary people?"
"Simple, you find a way to buy raw silk from other big silk companies."
"They will never sell it." Shen Xin shook his head.
"Then weave cloth. At least we can retain textile workers, right?" Li Qing's plan failed, so he came up with another one.
Shen Xin smiled bitterly: "People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets, but common people tell the truth. Common people don't care about temporary gains. It doesn't matter if they make less money or even lose some money, but they can't lose the overseas market."
"This is nothing to worry about." Li Qing said with a smile, "After all, there are more poor people than rich people in this world. Weavers don't have to worry about selling them. Small profits but quick turnover."
"But... alas...!" Shen Xin found it difficult to accept.
Li Qing's words made sense. The problem was that doing so would lose high-end customer resources, but considering the support from the court, he couldn't afford to fight for it. Anyway, he would be able to keep up with the silk production next year.
Shen Xin reluctantly accepted and asked: "Sir, how exactly does the court support the common people?"
I haven't thought about this yet... Li Qing opened his mouth and said, "I just want to ask for your opinion first. The emperor has not revealed the specific plan yet. Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting."
After a pause, he gave a deadline, "At the latest early next year, the imperial court will issue corresponding policies."
Li Qing smiled and said: "Before this, you must also be prepared. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. As long as you can eat it, Suhang can also eat it."
Shen Xin was startled, then ecstatically asked, "What do you mean, sir... the imperial court only supports me?"
"It depends on your performance, at least for the time being." Li Qing said, "However, if you are useless, you might not be banned."
Shen Xin said quickly: "Don't worry, sir. In terms of wealth, no one in Jinling can compare with the common people. Even the richest man in Suzhou and Hangzhou may not be as good as me."
Although the wealth is not exposed, the situation is also reflected.
Now is an important time to attract investment and discuss cooperation, so of course he wants to brag about it.
Li Qing smiled and nodded: "I can guarantee that I will only develop you when I come to Jiangnan this time."
He was afraid that there would be too much development at once, and he was also worried that Zhu Qizhen would not agree. After all, there was no precedent for this kind of thing, and it needed to be done step by step.
"Just remember, the imperial court only trains you for two things, one is to collect taxes, and the other is to stimulate employment." Li Qingdao, "You have to keep it in mind, you know?"
"Caomin understands." Shen Xin nodded solemnly.
He touched his pocket. He was in a hurry to go out today and didn't have any banknotes with him, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Li Qing smiled and said, "Don't think about that, I don't have much money."
Shen Xin glanced at Li Qing, who was about the age of Guan Guan, elegant and handsome, and thought to himself: "If you don't want money, you are lustful... Oh, I should have known that I would bring Jiu'er here."
He had some regrets.
Li Qing didn't know what he was thinking, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Nothing else, Boss Shen, please go back first. I still have official duties to be busy with. As for today's matter, don't be anxious. I will give you an accurate report before the end of the year." Xin'er."
After a pause, he gave him another shot of cardiotonic, "I will come back then to discuss the specific details with you."
This imperial envoy is a kind person... Shen Xin couldn't hide his joy, "The common people will be waiting for you, the common people will retire."
"Well, go ahead."
…
Shen Xin walked out of the weaving bureau calmly and completely different from when he came in. He was very proud of himself.
Now, he is no longer limited to raw silk. His pursuit is higher. He wants to be bigger and stronger!
My morale has improved, and my attitude towards things has also changed.
Isn't it just that I didn't get the raw silk? What a big deal... Shen Xin got on the horse, with a smile on his lips, and even waving the riding crop became gentle.

Li Qing has not been idle, he has been teaching the eunuchs how to manage and run the weaving bureau. He has done this before, but now he is just doing it all over again, and he is naturally familiar with it.
Fortunately, these eunuchs are also smart enough and learn things very quickly, even better than the original eunuchs.
This is due to Zhu Zhanji, who taught the eunuchs to read.
Zhu Zhanji set up an internal study hall to enhance the authority of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. He cannot be right, but he cannot be wrong either.
At the very least, eunuchs can play a role in consolidating imperial power. As for their evil deeds... How many good people are there in the officialdom?
Turbidity is the norm.
this day,
Li Qing returned to the mansion and said goodbye to his master, Li Jinglong, and Zhu Yunwen.
Li Jinglong was unhappy when he heard this.
"I'm really convinced. Why don't you stop moving after Ming Dynasty leaves you?" Li Jinglong cursed, "You've only been here for a long time, and now you have to leave again?"
"Senior brother, we have the emperor's orders, so we have no choice." Zhu Yunwen came to Li Qing's rescue.
Li Jinglong curled his lips and said, "Return the emperor's order? With his abilities, the emperor's order cannot restrain him at all. He just can't be idle. When he is idle, his bones will itch. Commonly known as: cheap bones."
"..." Li Qing said: "I have stayed in Jinling long enough. The Weaving Bureau in Suzhou and Hangzhou is still waiting. It will be October soon, and time waits for no one."
"You've been waiting for so many years, so short of time?" Li Jinglong groaned, but he didn't really insist on staying. "Go, go. When I die, don't forget to come and see me."
"Look at what you said, I'm that kind of person." Li Qing said with a smile, "I'm so anxious, just because I want to settle the affairs of the Weaving Bureau before the end of the year, and then ask for leave to celebrate the New Year in Aurous Hill."
Li Jinglong was startled and asked suspiciously: "Is this true?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Then let's go quickly." Li Jinglong couldn't wait to push Li Qing out, "Finish it early and come back early."
Li Qing was speechless, pushed his hand away and came to Zhang Slutty, "Master, I'm leaving first."
"Go." Zhang Sloppy, who was always so calm, just said, "Come back before the end of the year and let's have a reunion year."
"Hey, okay."

Li Qing left behind seven eunuchs and nearly a hundred royal guards, and then rushed to Suzhou with others and a large amount of raw silk.
As soon as he arrived at the place, Li Qing immediately mobilized Jin Yiwei to recruit workers. At the same time, he asked Xiao Liuzi to rush to Hangzhou in advance to prepare simultaneously.
Suzhou's raw silk has been sold to extremely high prices due to the rush of wealthy gentry from Jinling to buy it. This is all the work of Li Qing.
However, he is not worried about whether love will rise or not. Anyway, he has no shortage of raw silk. gōΠb.ōγg
With the experience in Jinling, enough raw silk, and the spare money borrowed from Zhu Yunwen, the weaving bureau was opened in just half a month.
It's just that there are still very few workers, and it's not as big as Jinling, but it's still operating normally.
Li Qing left some eunuchs behind and rushed to Hangzhou.
Xiao Liuzi was greedy for money and bullied his subordinates, but he still had some ability. When Li Qing arrived, the Weaving Bureau was almost in operation.
Li Qing only stayed for ten days, and when he saw that it was entering the twelfth lunar month, he was ready to return to the capital.
"Master Li, do you want our family to stay here and watch?" Xiao Liuzi asked. He didn't want to leave now. Hangzhou has a pleasant climate and is three points more prosperous than the capital, and it's easier to make money here.
"My father-in-law has made such great achievements this time. If he doesn't go back... I'm afraid it would be inappropriate!" Li Qing said, "What if other father-in-laws are jealous and say bad things about you to the emperor secretly..."
Xiao Liuzi felt a chill in his heart and said hurriedly: "Master Li reminds us that it is best for our family to go back."
But he was a little reluctant, "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. This is such a good place!"
Li Qing smiled and said, "When the emperor's reward is fulfilled, I will advise the emperor to let you return to Jinling to take charge of the overall situation."
"Ah? This..." Xiao Liuzi licked his lips excitedly, happy and grateful, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your support."
He patted his chest and said, "We men don't have anything else. We just talk about the word "righteousness". From now on, if you have something to say, if you say it, I will be a son of a bitch if you refuse."
Li Qing suppressed a smile and nodded.
Xiao Liuzi said sarcastically, "Master Li, what I'm asking is, can our family work in Suzhou and Hangzhou?"
Jinling is under Zhili and has too many big bosses, so he has scruples about making money.
Li Qing also knew this, so he advised: "Father, the development prospects of Jinling are better. When I start a career, those chairs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies... oh?"
"Oh? Ahaha... Yes, that's what the adults said." Xiao Liuzi nodded with a smile, "Well, we are short-sighted."
Li Qing smiled and said, "Let's go back to Beijing to resume the order."
