I’m a Scumbag [Quick Wear]

Chapter 21: Agricultural champion (21)

Jinxiu Cloth Village is now buying raw silk in Jiangnan, driving up the price of raw silk in one place, driving away other raw silk buyers who can't afford it, and then lowering the purchase price of life and death to buy raw silk in large quantities.

Although Shao Yu has not been transferred, but because of Emperor Jiande's love for him, he has an extra imperial post. .

Most local officials only briefly mentioned the soaring cloth prices in the memorials, only the memorials reported by the Southern Province showed great importance to the rising cloth prices.

Shao Yu saw the memorial of Nan Province, and saw that the cabinet's approval did not pay attention to the issue of cloth prices, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, no matter what product, if the price soared, its Most of it was pushed by someone, and Shao Yu listed all the mentions of cloth prices in the memorials from all over the world and presented them to Emperor Jiande.

But at a glance, Emperor Jiande also noticed the surging undercurrent in this matter. At least half of the country's cloth comes from the Jiangnan area. It starts after the merchants settle in the local area.

In the memorials of various places, whether or not they attach importance to the increase of cloth prices, at least one mention is made, but the memorials of officials in the south of the Yangtze River do not mention the price of cloth at all. Emperor Jiande hated Jiangnan officials' corpses and vegetarian meals, and only felt that these people were rotten to the bone.

"Is there a solution for Zijue?"

Shao Yu is always in front of the imperial court, her mind is active, and she has unique ideas about many things, so Emperor Jiande also likes to ask Shao Yu's opinion.

Their cognition has not reached the level of emphasis on rice grains.

The imperial court will strictly control the price of grain, but seldom pay attention to the price of cloth, so people take advantage of this loophole, and the imperial court does not realize how bad the influence of monopoly is.

.

And the best way is to use a lot of cheap cloth to save the market, just like suppressing food prices. It's just that at this moment, the court did not know where to get so many rescue cloths.

Shao Yu had an idea in his heart, so he said: "The memorial in the southern province mentioned that a new type of loom appeared in Jiangnan, which can greatly improve the efficiency of weaving. This year, the raw silk harvest has not failed. It stands to reason that the price of the cloth should be lowered, but the fact is exactly the opposite. It can be seen that someone did it deliberately, and His Majesty should send someone to investigate who did the wrong thing."

Shao Yu went on to say: "The price of cloth has gone up, and the people have spent more money on making clothes. In the end, you can only buy two buckets of rice, and the whole body is affected by one hair. It seems that the price of cloth is fluctuating, but it will affect related industries, such as raw silk and ready-to-wear. "

"The officials were alert to detect the change in advance, and it is still possible to save it now. If the price of cloth remains high in another two or three years, I am afraid that there will be no room for improvement. If you want to save the market, one must stabilize the price of raw silk, and the government will set an official purchase price for raw silk. If the price is lower than this price, the government has the right to hold the raw silk buyers accountable. The second is to improve today’s looms.”

Shao Yu doesn't know if the person behind the scene is related to the Jinxiu Cloth Village that purchased Shao Dalang's loom, but if you want to reduce the price of cloth, you must increase productivity.

Shao Yu does not understand looms, but he thinks the loom sold by Shao Dalang should not be the limit. cloth machine.

"Nowadays, there are many textile workshops in Jiangnan. If the government can come forward to build a textile factory, when the raw silk goes on the market next year, it will produce a lot of cheap cloth. At that time, the cloth dealers will not be able to increase the price even if they want to. ."

Emperor Jiande said again: "I'm afraid many people will freeze to death this year."

"In the folks, the straw weaving technology is popularized by posting sketches. For those who can't afford cloth, straw weaving can be used to keep out the cold." Shao Yu continued: "Encourage the private sector to set up rental Clothes shop, the rental price will never be higher than the purchase price, so that a group of people can survive the winter smoothly, and until next year, the textile mills of the imperial court will stabilize the price of cloth, and the people will be able to afford cloth again.”

After that, it is worn out and can be sold to the poor at a discount. No matter how you look at it, it is a huge profit.

Shao Yu thought that when such a big situation is set up all over the country, the people behind the scenes should not be planning for the present, but in the future, such crazy expansion. Correspondingly, the cost of his investment is also Very big. It seems that the price of cloth is high this year, but the people behind the scenes may not be able to make too much money. If the price of cloth is stabilized next year, this person is only afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty.
