The flowers on the temples are swaying with golden steps, and the hibiscus tent is a warm spring night.
The spring night is short and the sun is high, so the king will not go to court early from now on.
Xu Ruolin didn't know how she woke up.
My body is obviously very tired, but my spirit is very relaxed.
The long eyelashes trembled and trembled. When they opened their eyes, they met the man's gentle and focused eyes.
In an instant, everything about last night came back to her memory, making her groan and just want to hide under the quilt.
Zuo Mengeng came up and whispered in her ear.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law have been waiting for a long time."
Xu Ruolin's whole body was burning hot, and she realized that she was going to be a joke, so she hurriedly sat up. As a result, she was so happy that she couldn't bear to be shy, and she was really in a dilemma.
When she thought about being considered a beauty, she almost burst into tears.
Zuo Mengeng hugged her and comforted her: "Today is our wedding day, everyone understands it."
Xu Ruolin felt a little relieved, but she couldn't bear the hot feeling of skin-to-skin contact.
"I...I want to change."
Zuo Mengeng knows the taste by eating marrow, and he is as reluctant to part with it as a mangy dog.
"I'll help you."
As he spoke, he crossed his arms and exerted force at the same time. Xu Ruolin was picked up as lightly as a leaf, and no trace of her body was exposed to the air.
"Oh, hurry up... put me down quickly..."
Xu Ruolin had never experienced this before. She was frightened, panicked and ashamed, but she spent the whole night in a ridiculous state. She lacked strength and could not struggle.
Zuo Mengeng held her domineeringly and turned around the screen. It turned out that the bathing incense bucket had already been prepared.
The mandarin ducks were playing in the water, and it was another meandering experience.
When the two came to the main hall to meet their elders, they couldn't help but be teased and teased by their brothers and sisters, which was a lot of fun again.
Liu Zongzhou was very pleased to see a beautiful couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
"Starting a family and starting a career is the beginning of a man's life. From now on, all of us will feel at ease."
Everyone knew what he meant and agreed one after another.
"From now on, people's hearts are at peace. Zhongheng's direction is invincible."
Li Banghua kidnapped his old wife and nephew, and he was the most enthusiastic.
In the past, Zuo Menggeng was only known as a general, and he was just a young man. He always gave people the impression that his name was not right, his words were not smooth, and his actions were not carried out.
Now that they are married, their heirs are not far away. Those who follow him naturally have hope and are not afraid of their great cause collapsing in the middle.
The biggest benefit of Zuo Menggeng's marriage this time is not to stabilize the hearts of the people inside, but to increase the number of allies.
That afternoon, cloth merchants from Songjiang Prefecture paid a visit regardless of time.
As time went by, the more local cloth merchants learned about Zuo Menggeng's cooperation with the Xu family, Pan family, and Qu family, the more excited they became.
Even if you cannot participate in the production and management of stockings, you must at least find a way to obtain the hydraulic drive device.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, they will definitely lose their advantage and be gradually eliminated.
The various families in Songjiang Prefecture are closely connected and have deep connections with each other, so there are many reasons to get involved.
Looking at the various major families, celebrities and gentry gathered together, for some reason, Zuo Mengeng suddenly connected his marriage with a certain wedding in later generations.
That wedding was called Sino-US cooperation at the time and had a great impact on Chinese history.
Why does your marriage smell like that now?
Although that marriage brought about the collusion between imperialism, the comprador class and the feudal landlord class, my own marriage brought about the alliance of Qilu military power, new industrial entities and the industry and commerce of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
He quickly warned himself in his heart that this alliance is progressive, but unlike the "Sino-US cooperation", the real advantage lies with me.
Taking advantage of Zuo Menggeng's wedding, the atmosphere was very good.
Chen Jiru took the lead and gave Zuo Mengeng a congratulatory gift.
"I watched the ceremony yesterday. I deeply admire General Zuo and his wife for pioneering customs. They should be a good story. I have no respect for them, so I have made a humble contribution. I hope General Zuo will accept it."
Chen Jiru gave Zuo Mengeng a painting. It was none other than the scene of yesterday's wedding.
Chen Jiru was a guest at that time. After seeing it, he painted it when he went back.
Zuo Mengeng thanked him and took it. When he opened it, he was overjoyed.
Needless to say, Chen Jiru's paintings are composed with ink and ink, but the dotting is exquisite and the brushwork is delicate, making the whole painting lifelike and realistic.
The paintings of later generations by Chen Jiru are all priceless treasures. Even in this generation, it is difficult to find a single painting.
It is not difficult to see that Chen Jiru wanted everything.
"My elders in Songjiang all make a living by cotton spinning. This industry is related to the life and death of the people of Songjiang. I also ask General Zuo to give you some advice for the sake of the livelihood of millions of people."
Others agreed one after another, just waiting for Zuo Mengeng's response.
It can be said that his words today will have an earth-shaking impact on Songjiang Prefecture's cotton textile industry.
Facing everyone's attention, Zuo Mengeng had no reason not to seize this opportunity.
This period of thinking has allowed him to clarify his thoughts.
Although Shandong is sparsely populated and has vast land, its technology and industry fields can never be compared with Jiangnan.
When there is no way to develop independently, choosing to cooperate with Songjiang Prefecture Cotton Textile Industry is definitely a profitable strategy.
However, as a semi-mature politician, Zuo Menggeng will not view this cooperation only from an economic perspective.
First of all, risk factors need to be reduced to a minimum.
What's the danger?
Songjiang Prefecture is too far away from Shandong, and his military power cannot intervene here.
Once something unexpected happens, it is beyond our reach.
Under such circumstances, it is very important to strengthen the confidence of everyone in Songjiang Mansion.
"Songjiang Cotton Spinning is No. 1 in the world. As an outsider, it is a great honor for me to be recognized by your seniors. However, I have some shallow opinions and would like to ask your seniors to clarify my doubts."
The main show is here, and everyone cheers up.
Zuo Mengeng looked around and asked: "Songjiang cotton is sold all over the world and is very popular. Everyone knows this. But I don't know how the seniors have benefited? Can you be satisfied?"
Everyone looked at each other, hesitant in their hearts, not knowing whether to reveal the details.
When it comes to cotton spinning, everyone in Songjiang Prefecture is certainly very proud of themselves.
But when it comes to how much money can be made from cotton spinning, it is not as good as it seems.
"My dear nephew, I don't know something. Not to mention cotton, any goods sold far away must go through customs and cards along the way, and taxes and fees are heavy. Moreover, strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes. We only hope that someone will buy the cotton. As for where to sell it, we have no choice.
.”
Pan Yunlong's bitter words revealed all the difficulties faced by the cloth merchants in Songjiang Prefecture.
When later generations evaluate the business in Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty, the general view is that Jiangnan's industry and commerce were developed and created massive wealth.
But after seeing it on the spot, Zuo Mengeng knew that most of the wealth created by Jiangnan's industry and commerce had been exploited and robbed.
Why do you say that?
Because low-status industrial and commercial businesses cannot open up trade routes on their own, they must rely on powerful noble families to do business.
Taking cotton spinning in Songjiang Prefecture as an example, only a very small part of the cotton cloth woven here is transported by local merchants and sold to other places.
For example, Zhang Qi is in this business.
But Zhang Qi's sales share is less than one thousandth of that of Songjiang Cotton Textile Industry.
The vast majority of Songjiang cotton is purchased by large businessmen from other places before being sold to various places.
As for these big businessmen, it is no surprise that they all have powerful forces behind them.
In the business field, talents who master the channels have the upper hand.
But in this way, all the cotton spinning merchants in Songjiang Prefecture can earn is the most basic cost price. More profits are made by middlemen.
When Zuo Mengeng decided to cooperate with the cotton merchants in Songjiang Prefecture, he made the decision to inspire the wolf nature of the cotton merchants in Songjiang Prefecture.
In the future, these merchants and his army will support each other so that they can capture the market.
"You are in need of cotton from Shandong, although the juniors have ordered the Shandong side to prepare. But above the canal, there are many checkpoints and checkpoints. After paying the taxes and fees along the way, the cotton will cost more than three times the price in the hands of the seniors.
.Junior is thinking, is there any way to reduce transportation costs?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that Zuo Mengeng was so ambitious. They did not expect that Zuo Mengeng would be more eager than them on this matter.
Actually, this is a misunderstanding.
As a cotton supplier, it seems that Zuo Mengeng can pass on the increased costs to these cotton merchants. But in fact, the increase in transportation costs is the situation that suppliers dislike the most.
Because of the increase in costs, the demand for cotton from Songjiang Prefecture cotton merchants will inevitably decrease.
If transportation costs can be reduced, cloth merchants in Songjiang Prefecture can purchase more cotton and expand production, which in turn will promote cotton planting and sales in Shandong.
In short, the cost of the journey from Shandong to Songjiang Prefecture is a problem that both parties want to solve.
Zuo Mengeng felt that he was the only one who could solve this problem.
And once he does it, everyone in the Songjiang Mansion will be completely reunited.
Besides Shandong, he will have a second deep-rooted territory.
