Chapter 105 Ma Zhou is back

Qin Xiedao is not a saint after all.

Under the gentle attack of the young lady, she quickly rewrites the two poems and gives them to Yang Yan.

Originally, he wanted to continue to communicate with Yang Yan, but Ying Er appeared again to inquire.

"Mr. Mr. Ma is back!"

"Hmm? Ma Zhou is back? Where are the people?"

Upon hearing this news, Qin Xiedao immediately turned his attention from the young lady to Ma Zhou.

Such obvious changes in attitude can be seen by individuals.

Qin Xiedao didn't care about Yang Yan's resentful eyes and prepared to have a good chat with Ma Zhou.

"I told him that you are meeting guests, so he went to the side room and waited."

Ying Er glanced at Yang Yan and Qingxia without any trace.

The appearance of these two people gave Ying Er a sense of crisis.

"Let's go, let's go now!"

After Qin Xiedao said this, he got up and prepared to leave the lobby. However, thinking that Yang Yan and his servant were still there, he quickly added: "I'm really sorry, there are other important things to deal with today. If there is anything in the future, you can come to me at any time."

After saying that, regardless of Yang Yan and the others' reaction, Qin Xiedao hurriedly left.

Yang Yan and Qingxia who were looking at each other below.

"Madam, is this Qin Dalang too much? He just threw us away and ran to see some horse manager. Is there anything that matter that important?"

"Maybe something really matters."

Yang Yan also felt a little embarrassed.

This treatment is a bit bad.

"It's not fun, and I don't know how I can write such a poem."

Qingxia curled her lips, and was also helpless.

After all this, they had to leave the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion under the leadership of the maid next to them.

...

"Mr., fortunately, I'm not disgraced!"

Just after Ma Zhou sat down, Qin Xiedao came over.

Although he rushed back in turmoil, Ma Zhou was full of energy and did not look lazy at all.

Sure enough, men still need career support.

"Okay! Although the workshops outside the city have not been fully built, the first phase of the workshop is ready to be used at any time.

I met a Taoist priest some time ago and had a lot of research on the reactions between various substances. Now I have improved the wool cleaning agent.

The next time we ship wool from Liangzhou, we can further reduce the cost of cleaning wool."

In this era, wool cannot be used on a large scale, and the most critical issue is the cleaning of wool.

So except for some herders on the grassland who used very primitive methods to clean the wool and make some felt, other wool is basically equivalent to waste.

This time, Ma Zhou took so many people to Liangzhou, and transported two carriages with shearing shears alone, so he naturally purchased a large amount of wool at a low price.

"That would be great! This time I also attracted a group of Xueyantuo people in Liangzhou to help us do things. As long as they provide each of them with a pair of scissors, they would drive the horse team to various tribes to purchase wool.

Although they made some money from it, it greatly improved our efficiency in purchasing wool.

I am still afraid that too much wool will be purchased and cannot be used after taking it back, which will dampen the enthusiasm of these people in the future."

Ma Zhou is obviously very well-organized when doing things.

Qin Xiedao just arranged for him to go to Liangzhou to purchase the wool from the herdsmen on the grassland, and then set up a simple workshop in Liangzhou to perform basic cleaning of the wool.

Qin Xiedao did not interfere much in how to do things.

Ma Zhou only needs to complete the task. As for how to complete the task, Qin Xiedao doesn't care.

Qin Xiedao, the future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, did not believe that Ma Zhou could not even handle such a small matter.

Judging from the current situation, Ma Zhou did not disappoint himself.

"The more wool, the better. You just need to worry about not enough wool you acquire, and you don't need to worry about how much wool we can't handle it after purchasing too much wool."

Although the Tang Dynasty was not very wealthy at this time, the cost of wool was very low, and after making it into wool thread, the cost was not much higher.

As long as the price is sufficiently discounted and the wool is warm enough, the people's demand for wool will definitely be an astronomical figure.

Even if Ma Zhou bought all the wool on the grassland, Qin Xiedao was not worried that he would not be able to digest it.

"Mr. Lang, I'll feel relieved if you say this. Why don't we go to the workshop now and make the first batch of wool threads as soon as possible?"

No matter how much wool is, it will be very limited if it is not processed further.

"Okay! We can also further recruit a group of people from the refugees to alleviate the problem of refugees outside the city."

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty Honeycomb Coal Workshop, Li Shimin has relied on Qin Xiedao's problems with refugees.

Although the Tang Dynasty Fengwo Coal Workshop has solved a large number of refugees, new refugees appear outside the city every day. To completely solve it, continuous efforts are still needed.

Now that Ma Zhou has returned with a lot of wool, the workshop outside the city of Duke Yiguo can officially start construction.

No matter what era it is, the textile industry is a labor-intensive industry.

In later generations, a large cotton mill often had tens of thousands of employees.

The workshops created by Qin Xiedao are naturally not that large.

But there is no problem in digesting and absorbing a thousand-sized persons.

After more wool is continuously transported, it is not difficult to finally build the workshop into a large workshop with a scale of thousands of people.

In this way, the issue of refugees can basically be solved.

After all, a few thousand people means thousands of families.

It means that more than 10,000 people have hope of survival.

Once a person has hope, he will not do anything that takes risks.

These refugees will come to Chang'an City to seek life instead of rebelling directly in the local area, which means they still have expectations for the future.

"Do our helpers recruit from the refugees?"

When he entered the city, Ma Zhou had already noticed the issue of refugees.

In fact, there is no one in the entire Chang'an City who doesn't know the issue of refugees outside the city.

Only by comparison can we find the gap.

The emergence of refugees outside the city has made the people in the city cherish their current life more.

"That's right! The Tang Dynasty Fengwo Coal Workshop mainly recruits men, and our wool thread workshop can properly recruit a group of women.

In the past, it was very difficult to get women to work in the workshop.

But for refugees who have problems with eating, as long as they have work to do, everything is easy to say."

Qin Xiedao obviously still believes that women are most suitable for wool yarn workshops.
