Enterprises are the name of R&D, production, and sales. As soon as Qiaoer Textiles appears, they already have sales channels. This is the benefit of choosing this name.

In Bianliang City, for some reason, a large batch of cheap cloth suddenly appeared for sale, which was as cheap as 70% of the market price. The quantity was large and it could be better, and it could continue to be cheaper, and the quality was particularly good.

It goes without saying that the people who flocked in, but not all of them flocked in. Some people come to buy cheap cloth, while others don’t.

Qiaoer Clothing has a larger store now, with production workshops behind it, with larger area of ​​production workshops, and several large houses connected together. Even the house opposite Ganqi used to be opposite the garment store has become a production workshop. In addition to the street-facing store, there are production workshops behind it, including women's clothing and men's clothing, as well as children's clothing, from headwear to waistwear, to shoes and boots, etc., and it seems like a group company.

Even Wu Qiaoer relied on Gan Qi's relationship and did errands to the court to customize official uniforms and rituals, and even many clothes in the palace were done in Qiaoer's ready-to-wear. These errands may not make much money, because the materials are too particular and cannot be asked for prices. Even the pricing has to make the court and the palace feel saving. To put it bluntly, it is necessary to discount the court and the palace, so the profit is not high. This is also beneficial. It cannot defame Gan Qi's reputation and cannot make people feel that Gan Qi uses power for personal gain.

However, these orders have completely established Qiaoer Preparatory Clothing in the industry and are a luxury product among luxury goods. It represents the highest craftsmanship in the garment industry in the Song Dynasty and the most luxurious enjoyment in the Song Dynasty. Now Qiaoer Preparatory Clothing is no longer just sold in Bianliang, but also in all larger cities across the country.

Gan Qi hasn't been to Qiaoer Preparatory Clothing in the outer city for a long time, just because Gan Qi has moved to the inner city to live, and even works in the inner city. He almost never comes out of the inner city without any trouble, and he goes directly to do business when he comes out if he has something to do.

Xinbu has been on the market for several days. Gan Qi finally took the time to take a look at Qiaoer's ready-to-wear clothes, which scared him a little. He really didn't know that the garment store now has such a scale, and there are two or three thousand women and servants working in it.

Gan Qi looked around again, everything was in order, which inevitably made Gan Qi feel more confident in Wu Qiaoer. It is not easy to manage such a large enterprise in an orderly manner, and it is enough to show Wu Qiaoer's ability level.

Now that Chun Xilai manages a garment store, he really only needs to operate according to the model stipulated by Wu Qiaoer. However, Wu Qiaoer has not completely delegated power and has to go back to the store to preside over new product development and design. For example, recently, because of the promotion of cotton cloth, Qiaoer's ready-to-wear must also make new designs for cotton clothes.

Qiaoer Textiles also began to order silk in Jiangnan. Once the spinning machine is mature, there will be no problem with textile cotton yarn and silk, so high-end products will naturally be put into production.

Gan Qi, accompanied by Chunxi, inspected the clothing store and returned to the side hall of the front store to have tea. He listened to the crowds and was in a good mood.

But I also heard a lot of angry voices in the crowd.

"Shopkeeper Wei, you Qiaoer's ready-to-wear business is in the ready-to-wear business, why are you now starting a cloth business?"

"Yes, it's not impossible to start a cloth store. Why do you need to sell it at such a low price? Do you want us colleagues to close?"

"Yes, Manager Wei, you Qiaoer, you are a big family and can afford to lose money, but we have to make a living. We can't really force you to death!"

"You invite Wu Dong's family, everyone discusses and discusses that you can't really force people to death. Gan Xianggong has always been very kind and loves the people as much as his son. You can't do business under his banner..."

...

These people are obviously the shopkeepers of the owner of the cloth business in the city. Qiaoer's ready-made clothes suddenly dumped such cheap fabrics in the city, which naturally left others with no way out. These shopkeepers of the shopkeepers of the Wei family are Chunxi. Her surname is Wei, and she has no big name, but only one nickname.

Manager Wei replied at this time: "Everyone, it's not a day or two for Qiaoer Textile to build a large workshop outside the city. It started several months ago, and you all know it. Now that it's built, the fabric produced will naturally be sold, so you can't stop selling it, right?"

Gan Qi, who was in the side hall, shook his head slightly when he heard this, and felt that Chunxi was still a little younger and was not mature in dealing with the problem.

Sure enough, someone immediately said, "But you can't sell it so cheaply. Whoever I waited for has accumulated a lot of goods, but they were all wealth and life. If you sell it like this, wouldn't we all have to drink the northwest wind?"

Chunxi said again: "That can't be blamed on our Qiaoer ready-to-wear clothes. Our cloth is not sold at this price to suppress you, but our cloth is produced at this price. It has been sold at a price higher. We can't have to sell it with you at the same price, right? We will still produce silk in the future, can't we sell it?"

"Ah? You still want to produce silk? This..."

Everyone was shocked. If silk was so cheap, then these people would really have no way to survive.

The customer who bought cloth on the side was overjoyed, and some people applauded: "Okay, fast-producing silk is 40% or 50% cheaper. I will definitely come and buy more. Each family will have a new set of clothes during the New Year."

"Shopkeeper Wei, do you really want the store in Bianliang City to be closed? Are you a family who monopolizes the business?"

"Do you really have this plan?"

Chunxi waved her hand: "Don't say that, we haven't thought about it like that..."

"That's what you did. You are rich and sell at a loss. Just to make us all close. When we all close, you will take over your business..."

Gan Qi in the side hall shook his head and walked out. It was time to relieve Chunxi, otherwise he would not know what this matter would be like tomorrow.

Everyone suddenly saw Gan Qi walking out of the side hall, and hurriedly surrounded him and bowed, and then quarreled.

"Gan Xianggong, you have to make the decision for us!"

"Gong Xianggong Gan thought that he was unparalleled in benevolence and virtue, and he was the great scholar of the world and would definitely make the decision for us."

"Please be kind to you!"

Gan Qi waved his hand: "Just be quiet, listen to me."

Everyone slowly stopped the noisy.

Ganqi spoke again: "Do you all make your own cloth?"

Everyone shook their heads. Most of the cloth stores in Bianliang City did not produce cloth themselves, but purchased goods to sell.

Gan Qi nodded and said, "That's good to say. The Qiaoer Textile Factory is about twenty miles east of the south of the city. You can find it by asking. Go there and order it and sell it. The price is not high. I also guarantee that the purchase price of the cloth sold by Qiaoer ready-to-wear is the same as you. In this way, everyone can do business as before."

The thing is that simple. Naturally, the more sales channels a factory, the better. Originally, Ganqi could have allowed Qiaoer ready-to-wear agents for the sales channels of the textile factory, but Ganqi still wanted to separate the factory and the garment store, and also left a way out for other layout merchants in Bianliang City. It cannot really kill everyone else. The market must be vibrant.

In the future, the sales channels of factories will have to be opened up by these merchants, sold to all parts of the country, or even to foreign countries.

"What Mr. Gan said seriously?"

Gan Qi nodded: "How can I say something false?"

"Yes, how could Mr. Gan be fine to deceive us? Qiaoer Textile will definitely sell us goods."

"Since Gan Xianggong guarantees that the purchase price of Qiaoer ready-to-wear is the same as that of us, it must be true."

This is the benefit of fame. Gan Qi waved his hand: "You just go, you can't lose much in the inventory in your hands. Just take the silk quickly. When Qiaoer Textile produces silk, you won't lose money if you go and purchase goods."

The beginning of the development of industry and commerce is actually to benefit the people and let them live at a lower cost. A hydraulic spinning factory can directly and significantly reduce the clothing cost of the entire Bianliang City.

"Thank you, Mr. Gan!"

"Mr. Gan is indeed unparalleled in kindness!"

Many merchants are also thanking Gan Qi.

Gan Qi finally said, "If you go to buy goods, it is best to visit the textile factory. Take a look. The hydraulic spinning machine can also be used for takeout. If you are interested, it is okay to open a factory by yourself. If you don't have enough money, you can go to Sihai Money House to borrow money. The Money House is very happy to lend money to those who are willing to open a factory recently."

This is what Gan Qi really wants to do. Selling cloth is not the purpose. The real purpose is to promote the factory model and the large-scale production model, so that factories can spring out like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Textiles are just the beginning. With this beginning, all walks of life will follow suit. With financial support, the production level will be greatly improved.

We must never underestimate the intelligence and talents of human beings in any era. Once the factory model is promoted, the factory will have more demands on machines, the demand for machine capabilities will become higher and higher, and the investment in machine research will be more and more willing, which will promote the research of craftsmen.

Even a hydraulic power can actually have a very strong effect. From textile to forging, and even stamping production, it can actually be driven by hydraulic power.

When the development of machines is in demand, people will have new pursuits for power, which is the cornerstone of the industrial revolution. Once someone really starts to study power, many things will be natural. Even if it is not so natural, isn’t there still Gan Qi? It is not unimaginable to push the steam engine from it.

Steam engines are high-tech for this era, but they cannot be too high-looking. In itself, they do not really have high requirements for technology, but they do not have low requirements for technology, but they do not have low requirements for technology. However, they were originally hand-made.

However, if the steam engine is really useful, there are still some prerequisites, such as sealing, which requires some special materials, such as rubber, and rubber trees are still in the jungles of South America.

Therefore, navigation and industry have a close relationship. Ganqi's strategy is also centered around these things. While allowing charitable funds to fund private adventure navigation, the official also began to send fleets to sea, and also promoted industrial development. In fact, these are actually one thing.

Gan Qi obviously has a big strategy in this regard. This big strategy is not about Gan Qi's own invention, but about promoting the power of the entire society and promoting hundreds of millions of people to use their intelligence and talents so that they can truly carry out the industrial revolution.

Textile factories are the source of this motivation, and the beginning of Ganqi's promotion of social change.

Among the many thanks, Gan Qi returned to the side hall again. Gan Qi planted a seed in the hearts of these people, waiting for the roots to sprout. Even if only one of the people just tried to open a factory, Gan Qi succeeded, and it was completely successful.

But Chunxi was a little unhappy and followed Gan Qi back to the side hall, complaining: "Officials, how can you take out the spinning machine? This is a magic weapon that Mr. Chen has been working on countless days and nights with many people, but it is something that needs to make a lot of money. If this thing is taken out, wouldn't it be like throwing money out?"

Chunxi knows business rules and technology first.

Gan Qi just smiled and shook his head: "Just be an official, I am doing good deeds. There is no big difference between making more and less."

"Official, you don't know that you are not in charge of your family..."

"You little girl, you scold me..." Gan Qi stood up with a smile, unable to say much. The strategic plan in his heart was really beyond the reach of others.

After getting up, Gan Qi went out. The garment store was inspected and got in the car and was about to enter the palace.

Going into the palace is to promote the official going out to sea on behalf of the eunuch Li Xian. Once the official goes out to sea to gain benefits, bring back the charts and valuable things, it will inevitably promote the craze of people going out to sea.

Even if you go out to sea to rob, it is also a promotion. This is a necessary process. Raiding at sea is an unavoidable link. Even if the Han people go out to sea to be pirates on a large scale, Gan Qi will not stop his strategy.

There is another premise for these things, that is, the official lifting of the sea ban. The sea ban in the Song Dynasty was not strict. Even after Taizong and Taizu, the sea ban was almost stopped for a while, and the Southern Song Dynasty simply stopped talking about the sea ban. However, Gan Qi still had to turn the lifting of the sea ban into a serious court document and completely lift the sea ban.

Releasing the sea ban has both advantages and disadvantages, but for the previous Central Plains dynasties, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, because the previous Central Plains dynasties were the era of small peasant economy. Once the sea is opened and anyone is allowed to go to sea, it will inevitably lead to the consequences of population loss. This is why the previous Central Plains dynasties had great disadvantages, because it would reduce the working population in the land.

It also brings a disadvantage, that is, pirates are everywhere. You can refer to the Japanese pirates on the border of the Ming Dynasty. Opening the sea will definitely allow those who commit crimes to go to sea to avoid legal sanctions. However, these criminals must also survive. Once they get together, they will become vicious pirates and robbery will definitely happen.

However, no matter how many disadvantages there are, Gan Qi has to implement this matter. The Song Dynasty was already at an excessive time. It was necessary to allow more people to produce other than farming. Going to sea can also alleviate population pressure. Grain can be produced overseas, and even large farm production can be carried out overseas. People who need it can use violent enslavement.

In itself, this is also one of the means to solve the overpopulation in China, so it is necessary to encourage going overseas.

As for the pirate robbery, the court has to continuously expand its navy to solve it. As long as the imperial navy is strong and the islands in the near-shore areas are controlled, the problem of coastal pirates will be solved. As for the problem of pirates in the distant seas, let’s talk about it.

Gan Qi thought deeply and went to the palace to leave. He also had to talk about these issues carefully with Emperor Zhao Xu. He would inevitably go to court to discuss them.

Developing maritime strength is also of great help to control the inland. For example, attacking the Liao Kingdom or even attacking the Jurchens. With truly useful maritime transportation capabilities, the army can directly land on the north of the Bohai Sea and even the Sea of ​​Japan to the rear of the enemy. These are all very effective means.

In Gan Qi's heart, everything has begun, and it will only roll forward and not retreat at all. Gan Qi also knows that this will be a big collision of ideas, a big collision between the old-school conservative mainland small peasant economic thinking and Gan Qi's new-school global pattern thinking.
