Song Changji quickly stood up and admitted his mistake.
"Humph, my anger has nothing to do with you! I tested Zhou Changmin's intentions today, but this guy is very cunning and doesn't want to advance the matter of changing rice to mulberry!"
"He is the governor of Jiangsu, and it is mainly up to him to promote the conversion of rice into mulberry. Now the time is so urgent. If he is not willing to contribute, how can we raise the required raw silk? If we can't pay by then, what will everyone do?
At home?"
Song Changji said anxiously.
Of course, he was not really in such a hurry. Although he took over the weaving job, he was just weaving. The preparation of raw silk had nothing to do with him. If he had prepared enough raw silk, he did not
If it is completed on time, he must be responsible, but if it fails to give him enough raw silk, then he can't be blamed!
"Humph, since he is sitting in this seat, he must take this responsibility! Want to be cunning? It's not that easy!"
Wang Hai gritted his teeth and said!
Unlike Song Changji who was pretending to be anxious, Wang Hai was really anxious!
As the eunuch in charge of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, the one million pieces of silk were entrusted to him in the palace. If he could deliver the goods on time, everything would be fine. But if he could not deliver the goods, no matter which process went wrong, he would run away.
It doesn’t matter!
"Then what if he doesn't sit in this seat?"
Song Changji suddenly said something.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Wang Hai looked at Song Changji with complicated eyes.
"I heard that the position of Minister of Rites is about to be vacant, and Zhou Changmin came to Beijing this time precisely because he has taken a fancy to this position! Zhou Changmin is good at communication and has a good official reputation. The chief minister of the cabinet, Mr. Yan Ge, is his head.
In addition, he has recently acquired the new spinning wheel invented by Lin Xu. After presenting it to the emperor, it will undoubtedly be another heavy bargaining chip! In this way, the probability of him entering Beijing to take up his new position will be greatly increased! "
"Humph, yes, Boss Song. I didn't expect you to be quite well-informed! Since you already know it, we won't hide it from you. The position of Minister of Rites will indeed be vacant soon, and Zhou Changmin is indeed a popular candidate.
!However, he is not the only popular candidate!"
"It is precisely because he is not the only popular candidate that Zhou Changmin will focus more on this matter instead of seriously implementing the matter of converting rice into mulberry! When the time comes, he will go to the capital to take up his new post.
But the season waits for no one! Once we miss the time to convert rice into mulberry, we will definitely not be able to finish the one million pieces of silk!"
Song Changji said sharply!
Wang Hai's face became even more ugly. After being silent for a while, he said: "Your analysis is quite thorough! So what do you think we should do?"
"I'm just analyzing this matter case by case. It's not Changji's place to say what should be done specifically!"
Song Changji said very measuredly.
"hehe......"
A smile suddenly appeared on Wang Hai's face, he looked at Song Changji and said: "Five years ago, when our family first came to Suzhou, you were just a little-known silk and satin merchant with only a hundred spinning wheels and a thousand mulberry fields.
Mu, there is only one silk and satin shop!"
"And now, five years have passed. There are thousands of spinning wheels under your name, tens of thousands of acres of mulberry fields, and hundreds of silk and satin shops. Yun Jinxiang's gold-lettered signboard is famous in Jiangnan, and you have also grown from that year.
A small cloth merchant became the richest man in Jiangnan!"
"Changji, do you know why this is?"
Song Changji bowed down and said seriously: "Of course it's because of my father-in-law's support!" This chapter has been completed!
