- Until the wheat was harvested everywhere, Cao Fengji didn't make any big moves, and he didn't even contact Concubine Tian, ??the prince and daughter directly.
Moreover, it really started to do business, selling wool textiles shipped from the north.
Authentic northwest goods are quite popular in Jiangnan.
Shaanxi and Gansu are the centers of the wool textile industry, and both belong to Li Zicheng's territory now. It seems that Li Zicheng is also encouraging commercial development, otherwise the goods from Shaanxi and Gansu could not be easily transported to Nanjing.
There are four main types of Shaanxi-Gansu wool textiles: seal, brown, felt, and cloth.
? To keep one's mouth shut, Mao Xi uses woolen rope.
As for Mao Brown and Mao Xi, both belong to sweaters. The former is rough in workmanship and only worn by the lower class; the latter can be understood as a wool coat, which is slightly more upscale.
In addition, Shanxi belongs to the northern silk weaving center: Nansongjiang, Beilu'an, Yitianxia.
The "Lu'an" in this sentence refers specifically to the area around Changzhi, Shanxi, where the raw materials for textile silk come from Langzhong, Sichuan.
Li Zicheng has had a hard time this year, and he can't take it anymore if he wants to rule normally. The refugees in some prefectures and counties were resettled and reclaimed last winter. It is good to have enough food. If they want to pay officials, they have to rely on commercial taxes.
Wool textiles from Shaanxi and Gansu, silk cloth from Lu'an, and salt taxes from the salt ponds in Shanxi and Shaanxi, Li Zicheng relied on these to maintain his rule.
Zhao Han had a bit of a bad taste, so he brought Cao Fengji in for questioning.
Cao Fengji was terrified when he saw the official messenger, and felt that he hadn't exposed anything, so he bit the bullet and was taken away. Unexpectedly, he was taken to see the emperor, and he immediately became excited. It was not only convenient for espionage activities, but also convenient for doing business in Nanjing in the future.
In Cao Fengji's vision, it is best to wipe out the Manchus within three to five years, and the safety of his family is naturally the best, and it is helpless to die in the chaos.
However, he can no longer be controlled from now on, marry a wife and have children to start a business in Nanjing, and live a prosperous life in peace and stability.
"Grassmen kowtow to His Majesty!"
Cao Fengji took a peek at the emperor, knelt down and kowtow respectfully.
Zhao Han smiled and said, "Get up, give me your seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Fengji kowtowed again to thank you.
Zhao Han asked the female officer to bring wool textiles: "Are these your goods?"
Cao Fengji was apprehensive again, and answered cautiously: "Exactly. There are many wool cloths in the northwest, and cotton cloths in the south of the Yangtze River. Grassmen sell wool cloth to the south and cotton cloth to the northwest, and earn some meager profits from it."
Zhao Han pointed to Mao Brown and said: "This kind of sweater is too rough to touch the neck, and it will be rubbed with red marks in a quarter of an hour."
Cao Fengji said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although the clothes worn by the brown-haired poor are rough and heavy, they are very warm in winter."
Zhao Han pointed to Mao Xi again and said, "This kind of sweater is okay."
Cao Fengji took the opportunity to say: "If His Majesty likes it, the grass people will let people select wool materials and make a gorgeous and warm wool cloak for His Majesty."
"I don't take advantage of merchants," Zhao Han said, "Sell more of this kind of woolen cloth, and I plan to design a windbreaker myself, and give it to civil servants and generals as a protection against the cold."
What is a windbreaker?
Although Cao Fengji couldn't understand, he still said excitedly: "Caomin must live up to his trust!"
Zhao Han played with this wool seal again, and said, "Can the wool rope be spun thinner? Use selected wool and weave it into yarn. The thinner the better."
Cao Fengji still didn't understand, nodded and replied: "If it can be detailed, it must be."
Zhao Han ordered: "It is so thin that it is only two or three cents of this woolen rope. If you can spin such thin woolen yarn, I will let the government buy as much as you can bring."
"I'll send my men back to the north immediately!" Cao Fengji was overjoyed, he felt that he was about to get rich.
Zhao Han doesn't care about this. It's a secret agent. Apart from engaging in countermeasures and arresting other secret agents, he can also use this person to develop the wool textile industry in the north. Let him send someone to deliver the news to stimulate the development of wool textiles in advance. In the future, the unification of the north will be able to pick the fruits, and it can also win over Mongolian herdsmen through wool textiles.
In the Ming Dynasty, the wool textile industry in Northwest China developed greatly, but due to the quality of wool, it was basically difficult to be elegant, and cashmere was still accepted by the rich.
However, the production of cashmere is too low, and goats are rarely raised in the northwest and grasslands!
Zhao Han decided to vigorously guide and promote it. The worst ones are made into felt, the better ones are made into carpets, the better ones are made into brown cloth, and the better ones are made into windbreakers and woolen yarn.
Although Zhao Han doesn't know how to knit sweaters, he has already made wool. What is the difficulty in knitting sweaters?
This is not a trivial matter, and it has a lot to do with politics.
&Zhao Han's hatred, it is normal for Shanxi salt merchants to be spies for Tartars.
The Shanxi salt merchant who was being targeted at this time was also somewhat related to famous ministers Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, so he could be regarded as a collateral descendant of Wang and Zhang.
After Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Siwei succeeded as the chief assistant, and he didn't ask himself what he was doing.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu, nephews and uncles, one is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the other is a feudal official, and they all come from salt merchant families. Gao Yongchun, the censor at the time, said after inspecting the salt affairs: "The salt law is bad, and the power is rampant, and the big business patents." The ID numbers of Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu were almost missed.
Even so, Gao Yongchun was forced to resign by Zhang Siwei.
After the reform of Emperor Hongzhi's salt law, Shanxi salt merchants have begun to decline. It was Zhang Siwei and other Shanxi ministers who, under the banner of reforming the salt law, reshuffled the cards during the Wanli period, making Shanxi salt merchants arrogant again.
For the Shanshan salt merchants who have settled in Yangzhou for a long time, Zhao Han cut off their source of income, which is a sworn enemy!
A month later, Xu Ying came to investigate the progress: "The Shanxi merchants Wang, Zhang, and Fan in Yangzhou, as well as the Shanxi merchant Li, all these salt merchants have problems. Either pass the news to the Tartars, or pass the news to Li Zicheng .Here in Nanjing, there is a businessman surnamed Ai who is very suspicious, but nothing has been caught yet. Your Majesty, do you want to arrest him for interrogation?"
Zhao Han also wanted to watch an exciting spy war movie, but the investigation went so smoothly that it was unexpected.
Ancient spies, professional skills are too rough!
There is nothing to be gained by luring the snake out of the cave. It is nothing more than a bunch of literati drinking and complaining. If they really make them seek refuge with the Tartars, I am afraid that each of them will be scared to death.
