The retrial of the Six Gentlemen of Donglin and Xu Xianchun is a matter of ideological construction. The most important thing for Songjiang Prefecture now is not this matter, but ensuring that tens of thousands of unemployed textile workers can have food to eat.
"Songjiang Prefecture itself relies on cotton spinning, but due to the sluggishness of the raw material production areas, it will not be able to recover for at least a year. Even in the future, the confrontation between the imperial court and Nanjing will affect the Songjiang cotton spinning industry, which means that it will be affected for a while.
It is quite difficult to revitalize Songjiang's cotton spinning industry on a large scale. But tens of thousands of industrial workers in Songjiang need to eat, and they can't stop talking. My idea is to guide Songjiang to carry out industrial transformation in a timely manner, so that Songjiang's textile industry will not have scale benefits.
It can also create enough added value. It is best to take this opportunity to diversify Songjiang's industries and enhance its competitiveness."
Zhu Youjian spoke in plain words to the ministers for a long time, but what they heard was in confusion! It was not until the emperor stated the specific measures that they roughly understood the meaning of these plain words.
Allocate 500 sewing machines to Songjiang Prefecture within one year and order 100,000 sets of military uniforms from the Songjiang market. Industrial owners who place orders for military uniforms can rent sewing machines for free for production. At the same time, build a sewing machine factory in Songjiang City and a
Textile machinery factory and a watch factory.
His idea is to use such a set of combined policies to form three pillar industries in Songjiang Prefecture: textile industry, garment manufacturing industry, and machinery manufacturing industry, thereby laying the foundation for Songjiang's future development.
At present, Songjiang's original textile industry production method has fallen behind, and its cost performance and competitiveness have obviously collapsed. But its foundation is still there, and there is still no problem in supplying the production capacity of the emerging garment industry. Putting aside sewing machines
The cost itself, after Zhu Youjian continued to pay attention to it for more than a year, the performance of the sewing machine has been qualitatively improved. The efficiency of using a sewing machine to make garments will be several times higher than the original manual production efficiency. In this way, using a sewing machine
The profits from making ready-made garments will be quite objective. Selling ready-made garments will definitely have a larger profit margin than selling cloth. When the profit margin becomes larger, it will force Songjiang's original textile industry to increase production capacity, thereby changing the previous decline.
The idea of developing the garment industry in Songjiang is different from that in Beijing. In Beijing, they use a big factory mentality, while in Songjiang Zhu Youjian's idea is to use family workshops to promote it. Large factories can only produce official uniforms and military uniforms.
This kind of clothing that is used in large quantities cannot be made into civilian clothing. Because in the current civilian market, there are so many styles, types, and colors that people like. It is really difficult to sell hundreds of thousands of pieces at once like the later generations.
go out.
With three or five sewing machines and less than ten employees, thousands of pieces of clothing of various styles can be made a year. This is exactly the supply method that is in line with the current form of the garment market. The flexibility of a small workshop and its sensitivity to trends are exactly what is needed now.
needed.
The rise of the small workshop garment industry can also drive the development of the sewing machine manufacturing industry. So far, except for the batch of orders forced by Zhu Youjian, Beijing's sewing machine factories have not sold one in the private market. Beijing Supply and Marketing
There were several samples on display in the club, but some looked at them but no one wanted them. They were just like decorations. People who saw them thought they were magical, but they bought them themselves to no avail. The price of nearly three hundred taels of silver dollars was prohibitive!
With so much money, wouldn’t it be a mistake to buy a clothes-making machine? Wouldn’t it be nice to let your own women work harder to make clothes? If you buy this, wouldn’t you open a clothes factory?
There are some ready-to-wear shops in Beijing, but they are all in the business of wealthy families. I think it is more reliable to sew by hand. What if such expensive materials are damaged on this thing? Besides, a machine
Three hundred taels of silver dollars for a sewing machine is enough to hire a dozen tailors for a year. It’s not cost-effective!
If the sales volume cannot be increased, the manufacturing process of sewing machines will be slowly improved, and the production costs will not be reduced. The cost will be too high and most consumers will be discouraged. In short, it is an endless cycle. According to Zhu Youjian's estimate, if the sewing machine is of the largest size
Most parts can replace copper with iron, and the price should be about the same if the price drops to 30 to 50 taels of silver dollars. But without the promotion of the application environment, it will be difficult to complete process iteration. I hope that the free rental method will be implemented in Songjiang Prefecture.
It can open up some application markets and bring the sewing machine industry into a positive cycle.

It is also made with precision workmanship, and the market for the watch industry is quite mature. The clock factory run by the palace can basically sell the clocks it makes now, but the output is not high, and it can produce more than 100 units a year. Nanzhi
There are some skilled craftsmen there. Attracting them to Songjiang and setting up a large watch factory will not only improve Songjiang Prefecture's machinery manufacturing industry, but also improve Ming Dynasty's precision industry. It is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Building a textile machinery factory is
This is to facilitate the upgrading of Songjiang's cotton spinning industry! Building these three factories in Songjiang is also in line with the principle of close production to the market, thereby promoting the improvement of production technology in reverse.
To solve the most urgent employment problem in Songjiang Prefecture, in addition to the above industrial development measures, we must also launch infrastructure projects. Infrastructure is the only magic weapon to quickly solve employment problems. What is Songjiang Prefecture’s infrastructure construction? Of course it is to build a port, or even
Consideration can be given to building another large shipyard in Songjiang.
However, there is a big constraint in building shipyards in Songjiang! There are some problems with the supply channels of ship wood! This year, due to the establishment of trade with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Tianjin shipyards are finally able to free up their hands to build ships. The newly built Dengzhou shipyard is now using
The wood is also brought from the mouth of the Liaohe River. I wonder if it is feasible to haul the wood to Songjiang?
The log trade in the Ming and Qing Dynasties solved the urgent problems of the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed to be of endless benefit to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. After selling wood for more than half a year, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties exchanged goods worth 1.5 million taels, allowing Dorgon to basically get rid of
financial crisis.
Dorgon was so happy when he saw the good things being delivered to Shenyang City in a steady stream and the official trading companies that were opening bigger and bigger! Those who fed unfamiliar goods these days finally stopped troubling him. As expected, Hong Chengchou
He is a great talent, look at these ideas he came up with! Trading, printing money, and opening official societies suddenly made us rich in the Qing Dynasty. There was so much money in the warehouse that we could hardly hold it.
And it’s still only possible to get in and out. When did our Qing Dynasty become so rich?
Is Hong Chengchou a great talent? Fan Wencheng has different opinions on this. He is obviously the one who contributes the most to trade matters! Why does the regent now favor Hong Laogou more? A person who is really good at doing things will never be as good as a person who can talk.
.
Fan Wencheng, who was very dissatisfied with Dorgon's increasing emphasis on Hong Chengchou, planned to show off his talking skills in front of the regent.
"Your Majesty, when I was dealing with businessmen from the Ming Dynasty recently, I overheard a major event related to the fate of the country."
"It's related to the fate of the country? What did Shangshu hear?" Dorgon was a little surprised that the businessman could hear something related to the fate of the country? Fan Laogou was afraid that he was talking nonsense in front of him.
"This is the secret to the improvement of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes in recent years! A few years ago, Emperor Ming issued a decree to the world that women in the Ming Dynasty would no longer have their feet bound. This policy is the key to the improvement of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes!"
