"Tell me again, how much is the amount?" Shen Liangfu's face was full of disbelief, and even his tone was trembling.
"One... one and a half million catties, sir, is there any problem?" Seeing Shen Liangfu's reaction, the person who replied thought he had said something wrong and couldn't help but tremble.
Any questions?
This person doesn't understand. As the governor of Yayu County, how can he, Shen Liangfu, not understand?
Since the three northern counties are located in severe cold weather, the demand for cloth is also very high.
A full three million kilograms are needed!
Such a large amount of cloth would be difficult to produce in a short time even if all the cloth merchants from Jianghuai and Jianghuai counties were gathered together.
Therefore, according to common sense, this order is placed in three phases.
One million catties per issue, three million catties in total.
But what about now? This Qian's cloth shop actually took out 1.5 million kilograms of cloth at one time!
If we do it again, the list of three million kilograms will be completed!
Three issues became two issues.
When the officials around him heard this, they all beamed with joy and began to praise him one after another.
"This Qian's Cloth Company is really a conscientious merchant in the cloth business. In just a few months, he was able to produce 1.5 million kilograms of goods."
"Not bad. With this batch of goods, the order is half completed."
"In my opinion, why should I choose? Just don't choose. Just this one."
All the officials around him were overjoyed, but Shen Liangfu and the other ten people were all frowning and their faces were ashen.
The more goods Qian's Cloth Shop delivers, the fewer opportunities there are for Feihong.
And Feihong is their community of interests, which makes them happy.
"Everyone, Qian's Cloth Company has a production capacity of 1.5 million catties, and the quality of the cloth is acceptable. Why not choose this company?" Someone formally suggested.
The surroundings instantly resounded with echoes and approvals one after another.
After all, this business actually has nothing to do with most officials. They just want to reach a conclusion as soon as possible so that they can get back to work.
However, Zhen Renyi frowned and said, "No, the order from the three northern counties is a big deal. It's better to see all the merchants before making a decision."
As soon as these words came out, many officials frowned secretly, with a vague look of dissatisfaction on their brows, but they did not dare to speak out due to Zhen Renyi's identity.
"Since Lord Zhen is so elegant, it doesn't matter if I wait until you finish reading." Chen Chuge said with a smile, which was regarded as smoothing things over for Zhen Renyi.
"That's right, let's take a look again." Shen Liangfu also laughed.
The three county guards present said so. What else can the remaining officials do? He had no choice but to smile and nod in agreement.
However, after looking at the goods of more than a dozen small cloth merchants, everyone frowned, feeling extremely impatient.
Why?
Just because these goods are of rough quality, they look like tree bark when worn, and may even cause skin pain due to friction.
Or the quality is okay, but the quantity is too small, only about one or two hundred thousand catties.
Compared with the one million catties they wanted, this was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Taken together, compared with the Jiangnan Cloth Merchants Alliance, which has good quality and quantity of goods, it is simply a world away.
So, aren’t these three county guards delaying things?
Why don't you call the guys here to blow the cold air when you have nothing to do? If you are not busy, we are still busy.
Just as everyone was getting more and more excited, they finally arrived at the last cloth merchant - Feihong Cloth!
The moment he saw the Feihong Cloth Industry brand, Zhen Renyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, it doesn’t matter how much goods Feihong can transport, the most important thing is that Feihong gets it!
As long as Feihong comes, Zhen Renyi will have a way to accept all Feihong's cloth. Even if the quality is worse than that of the Jiangnan Cloth Merchant Alliance, even if he is criticized and puzzling from now on, he will admit it.
call!
Shen Liangfu also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "This is the last one, go check it out quickly."
"promise!"
However, compared to the past, it only took one or two cups of tea to check.
This inspection seemed to take a particularly long time!
It took so long that many officials were frowned by the cold wind, and their dissatisfaction was almost written on their faces.
Finally, half an hour later, the strong inspection man came over holding a roll of cloth with a look of horror on his face.
"Hurry up and present the cloth and let me touch it." Zhen Renyi said impatiently.
When the strong man heard this, he nodded hurriedly and trotted up.
The moment he touched the cloth, Zhen Renyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This material, this feel, without any subjective overtones, is still much higher than the goods from Jiangnan Cloth Merchant Alliance.
But then, Zhen Renyi frowned again and muttered in confusion.
Feihong has always been good at weaving technology, and has even mastered the weaving technology of high-end silks such as ice pattern silk and soft cloud silk. Even the royal tribute cloth was made by himself.
It is impossible to fail in terms of quality.
But the key is, for these poor people in the three northern counties, quality is not the key.
No matter how good the quality is, they are all sold according to the imperial court's pricing.
Therefore, the key is quantity!
As long as there are enough people, there will be more people who can protect the three northern counties from the cold, and the probability of being selected will naturally be greater.
But...it is said that Feihong Cloth Industry even pried away half of its female workers.
No, you don't even have 500,000 catties, right?
"Tell me, how many kilograms are there in total?" Zhen Renyi tried his best to suppress the trembling and eagerness in his tone.
At the same time, I shouted silently in my heart: I must exceed 500,000 jins! As long as it exceeds 500,000 jins, I will take the risk to win this business for Feihong!
He believed that with his mentor's ability, it was only a matter of time before he could win back the female workers.
It’s just that there are too few orders in this issue, and they will increase in the next issue.
If Feihong Cloth Industry continues to rush the work, it may not be possible to complete the order of three million kilograms in three phases!
But the premise of all this is that the first phase of Feihong must have 500,000 kilograms, otherwise even if he is the governor of a county, he will not be able to say this in front of many officials.
"Three...three million." The strong man knelt on the ground, his tone trembling.
"Well, three million pounds...what!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhen Renyi seemed to be struck by five thunders. He stood motionless on the spot.
Many officials around him were also stunned and in disbelief.
Especially the other nine officials who came out of Jianghuai County and learned the information in advance could not believe their ears.
"You know, deceiving the county governor is a serious crime!" Zhen Renyi was stunned for a while, then woke up, quickly stepped forward, and grabbed the strong man's collar, his tone full of uncontrollable excitement.
"My lord, I would never dare to do that kind of deception."
"This number is indeed a bit shocking, so I checked it several times, spent half an hour, and came up with the same data before I dared to report it to you."
As soon as these words came out, the entire main hall fell into deathly silence again.
