Because the news was so shocking, the old housekeeper didn't hear the news from a few relatively "popular" detectives. He heard it from rumors.
After hearing this, the old housekeeper immediately found a few of the unscrupulous men raised by the Wang family to confirm, and then...then he confirmed that this was really the case.
Is this okay?
The production of cloth can increase hundreds of times in one day. In the modern economic system, if you can increase the production capacity of something by a hundred times overnight, or increase the performance of the things you produce, such as cars and mobile phones, by a hundred times.
What is that concept? It is shocking to the world. When converted into income, it is basically equivalent to opening a banknote printing factory.
The old butler, an old butler, couldn't bear such heavyweight news, so he immediately rushed to the big house in the south of the city to report the news.
Wang Jing was a little impatient, but when he heard the old housekeeper talking about it, it was about the Xiao family, or about the cloth... Isn't this the labor that the Xiao family suffered?
This made Wang Jing frown. This frown had two meanings. One was... gradually decoupling from the Xiao family. This was the family's established policy.
Friendships in ancient clothing circles were not only friendships with oneself, but also friendships with status, power, wealth, and those wealthy families and princes.
This kind of friendship with a wealthy county magistrate is actually similar in nature to modern investment in stocks. Now that the Xiao family is on the "downward channel", then... it is only natural to reduce its holdings of this stock accordingly.
For this reason, Wang Jing has recently ordered people to step up the investigation of Xiao's intelligence, but there is no need to report it - it is no longer worth it.
Therefore, when the old housekeeper came to report in a hurry, Wang Jing felt very unhappy.
What does this mean?
The Xiao family...if they all moved south, what else could happen?
But because it was about the labor of weaving, Wang Jing couldn't help but be a little curious.
This frown immediately frightened the old housekeeper to death, but he didn't want to serve him according to the family law again... But he knew that if such a big thing was not reported, then he would probably really serve him according to the family law.
"Master, I just heard the news from the public, this is..."
Then the old housekeeper told the story about Xiao's cotton factory's production capacity increasing a hundred times in one day.
Wang Jing was instantly confused when he said this.
"What did you say?"
At this time, not only Wang Jing was present, but also Pei Ji, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe...these rich and famous celebrities were all here.
As soon as they heard what the old housekeeper said, everyone was stunned.
"Cotton...Nissan production, increase a hundred times?"
"Old housekeeper, did you hear wrongly??"
Pei Ji, Li Tiancheng, and Zheng Taishan were immediately petrified on the spot.
This girl definitely heard it wrong!
This was the first thought in everyone's mind. They definitely heard it wrong.
But... then, the old housekeeper shook his head, smiled bitterly, his back arched even more humbly, and he spoke with an air of weakness.
"Several masters and slaves have confirmed it in the mouths of several dead soldiers. It is absolutely true..."
this time……
The old butler has made it clear. Since it is said so, it must be true. After all, the family rules in the Wang family are strict, and the family rules are followed at every turn. The old butler is the most familiar with this matter. If it is not really confirmed, then it is definitely not true.
There will be this tone...
When they realized this, Li Tiancheng, Pei Ji, and... Wang Jing and others looked at each other and turned to stone.
"this……"
"Cloth...a hundred times the output???"
There is nothing else in everyone's eyes, only four words——
incredible!
But I have to believe it.
According to the old housekeeper, there should be no need to lie about this matter, but...
Things like cloth are hard currency. How can the production of this thing be increased a hundred times in one day?
If you directly say that you have discovered a big gold mine, you may have to be more realistic...
After all, the value of gold and silver was constant in ancient times, but the price was not. Whether it can be exchanged for food depends on the situation.
But cloth is different. Although transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, when many big forces needed to equip their armies with winter clothing, the demand for this stuff could completely surpass that of gold!
One can imagine what was going on in the minds of Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others when they heard the news.
That was simply shocking, extremely shocking!
The whole brain is blank.
The air seemed to be frozen, and the lush and elegant flower hall seemed to have become a mourning hall at this moment.
Dead silence!
Dead silence!
Everyone's hearts were beating wildly, and their brains seemed to be petrified. After a while, everyone looked at each other and took a deep breath.
Wang Jing looked at the old housekeeper, this time there was no such thing as a look on your face that you disturbed my elegance and I'm not happy about it. He said directly, "The production of cloth is a hundred times higher. Is this...is this news really reliable?"
Although……
It felt a little silly. Wang Jing felt silly himself, but he still asked the question for the third time.
In the end, the old housekeeper nodded again, taking the trouble... He really took the trouble, because the shock of this incident had made everyone forget about everything in their daily life, and they could no longer produce any normal emotions.
Shocked, shocked, still shocked!
What a shock.
After this period of time, the expressions of Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others quickly changed from dull to ashes of death.
The air is still silent, but it has turned into a strange silence!
This issue……
It's actually like this...
The whole thing turned out to be an unfortunate piece of news. Xiao Yu, a member of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, pretended to be a coward in the court because of his inflated attitude, and then was happily sent away by Li Er's iron fist.
Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others also mourned the death of a rabbit and a fox for a long time... But, it was also a tragedy of the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Although this incident caused panic among everyone, it gradually subsided... after all, it did not escalate.
Of course, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others also smelled the expansion. Although Li Sheng's low-key notice was posted very low-key, Wang Jing and the others still saw it.
Li Sheng kept a low profile on this announcement to attract investment, but the group of wealthy businessmen... were quite active in collecting information.
Although it is not as efficient as modern capital, there is still enthusiasm. Wang Jing and others are from aristocratic families. Although they lack enthusiasm, they are very well-equipped - a lover can make a name for himself, and he has enough younger brothers.
Therefore, I also know about Li Sheng.
But at first, I guessed that this incident should be a Hongmen Banquet.
With a foolish king like Li Er and an evil minister like Li Sheng, things must be like that.
but……
At this time, it is very embarrassing.
It was agreed that Xiao Yu would move his family south to do hard labor for Li Er, but as a result...
What will happen if the output of cloth increases by a hundred times?
This is simply unbelievable!
Could it be that this Xiao Yu...
At this stage.
Wang Jing, Pei Ji, and the others finally realized that Xiao Yu and Li Sheng might...
