In Zhang Ran's view, skilled industrial workers are an extremely valuable asset at any time, and they cannot be cultivated overnight!

It took Zhang Ran nearly three months to set up the wool workshop shelves and train a group of barely qualified workers... Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhang Ran is definitely unwilling to "squander" them like this!

He would not use Zhao Yu's suggestion and transfer them to the public because this is a waste of talents! It is really stupid!

"Well... Xiao Lang's words are reasonable!" Sure enough, when Zhao Yu heard Zhang Ran say this, he also realized that the method he proposed did not seem to be very applicable!

Therefore, I couldn't help but rub my eyebrows with some headaches and asked Zhang Ran: "So, Xiaolang thinks, how should we deal with these craftsmen?"

"Well..." Zhang Ran hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then analyzed for Zhao Yu: "Mr. Zhao, because this skilled craftsman is not easy to train, I do not recommend transferring them to him... But our workshop has not received new instructions from His Majesty now, and as spring is approaching, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the demand for this sweater will definitely be greatly reduced, and His Majesty may not let us produce more sweaters!

In this situation where demand is greatly reduced, if we do not want the wool garment industry that we have finally established is abandoned, there seems to be only two ways to go!

First, self-reliance and find new sales channels! Although the weather is about to end now and the weather will get warmer, for now, there is still some time before the real warming of spring. Therefore, we still have at least two or three months of buffer period. If we can open up sales in the civil market during this period, it will be able to solve some of the problem of backlog of goods!

Moreover, I heard that the wool sweaters produced in our Shaofu recently seem to be vaguely popular in Chang'an. Many powerful people in Chang'an are proud of being rewarded by His Majesty!

If we can lift restrictions and sell woolers to the market, the powerful people in Chang'an City may flock to come and buy our woolers!"

For a long time, the wool sweaters jointly produced by Zhangran Workshop Garden and Shaofu Weaving Room have been given priority to supply to soldiers from border counties, and secondly, they meet the needs of Weiyang Palace and will basically not be sold to the public!

Although Emperor Liu Che occasionally rewarded his ministers with exquisitely crafted top-quality wool sweaters to show their gifts, the number was not very large, and it would definitely not exceed one hundred pieces!

However, the emperor's reward made the reputation of wool quickly spread among the powerful class in Chang'an, and also doubled the value of wool, becoming a rare thing that everyone wants!

For example, last time, King Wuqiu Shou was fortunate to receive a wool gift from the emperor. When King Wuqiu Shou learned that the wool was from Zhang Ran, he also asked him to get a few for his family and Dong Zhongshu!

It can be seen that the powerful people in Chang'an City still have a certain demand for woolers. Therefore, Zhang Ran hopes that Zhao Yu can convince the emperor to relax restrictions and supply woolers produced by Shaofu to the market, completely opening up the sales of woolers!

Facing Zhang Ran's earnest gaze, Zhao Yu pondered for a while, and finally thought for a long time, he nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Lang's suggestion is good, and I also think it is very feasible... However, whether your wool can be sold to the outside world, you must finally ask Your Majesty to decide! After all, the best woollens produced in our Shaofu now have a vague trend of becoming tributes. Your Majesty uses it to reward the ministers and ministers...

Therefore, at most, I will give you a memorial to explain the pros and cons of it. As for whether it can be successful, I dare not say that I am fully sure!"

The emperor involved, and Zhang Ran didn't have much to say, and it was even more difficult to force Zhao Yu to adopt his suggestions. He could only bow and say, "Well, thank you Mr. Zhao!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Yu couldn't help but wave his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a simple task. If Xiao Lang's troubles can be solved smoothly, I'm happy to see it!"

"Well..." Zhang Ran couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, then thought for a while, and bowed to Zhao Yu and said, "Mr. Zhao, judging from the current situation, the best sweaters must be given priority for Weiyang Palace, and they are not suitable for sale... However, there are generally no restrictions and concerns about the quality or even worse sweaters!

We might as well suggest to Your Majesty that after the woolen sweaters needed by the soldiers of the border counties are completed, they will sell the stock or remaining woolen sweaters to the public! This will not only satisfy the market's desire for woolen sweaters, but will not affect the supply of high-quality woolen sweaters in Weiyang Palace! Isn't it the best of both worlds!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well... Xiaolang's words are great kind, I think I can consider it! I will write it into the comments later!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help looking at Zhang Ran with a little curiousness and asked him: "So, Xiaolang, what about another method? Can you explain it in detail with me?"

"Well, I dare not obey my orders!" Zhang Ran nodded slightly and bowed to Zhao Yu and said, "Is this the second? We think we should transfer the wool garment industry to a more backrest and colder place! For example, Shuofang County is a good choice!

It is close to the desert grassland, and the weather is even colder and the colder winter weather is longer. Therefore, the demand for sweaters is definitely greater and the market is wider!

Moreover, Shuofang County is closer to the origin of wool. Cattle and sheep are everywhere in the grasslands and deserts. Even several northern counties have a tradition of raising cattle and sheep. Therefore, the raw materials are extremely sufficient and the prices are cheaper. If we set up a wool garment workshop there, we can easily solve the current problems!

In fact, last time, I had suggested to Your Majesty and General Guard at this time, but General Guard considered that once we produced wool clothes on a large scale, the secret of our wool clothes would probably be known and coveted by the Huns!

If they really steal our technology, wouldn’t it be equivalent to investing in the enemy? Therefore, General Wei and Your Majesty did not agree immediately. The suggestion of directly setting up the workshop in Shuofang was to send a small number of people to Shuofang to produce and make sweaters for the soldiers of the border counties!

However, the situation is different now. Our wool garment workshop is facing great difficulties and we must find a way out to survive! Otherwise, if the situation continues to develop, the emerging wool garment industry, will face the risk of premature death!
