After leaving the restaurant, Du Zhongxiao said to Feng Yuan beside him: "Mr. Feng has seen the fur merchants in Bingzhou City. What do you think of this?"

Mr. Feng sighed: "In my opinion, these merchants did not believe in the tanned fur in their own eyes. They did not trust them. They were afraid that this yard would not be easy to build. The official said it well, this kind of business is that the more merchants gather, the better."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "We build a yard and develop the fur industry. We should not sell it to people in the city, but sell it elsewhere, so merchants need to gather and make business easier. But you don't have to worry, the key to the yard is not fur merchants, but tanning craftsmen. Imagine that no matter how much fur you sell, you can find enough craftsmen here, and quickly and well make raw skin into mature skin. Will you open a shop here? Therefore, these merchants in Bingzhou City have shallow eyes, and they have lost their chances. As long as there are enough tanning craftsmen and they don't come, are you foreign merchants still coming? There is an official support in the yard, so you don't need to pay attention to the guild."

Feng Yuan was overjoyed and bowed, "Thank you for your cultivation!"

Du Zhongxiao made it clear that merchants gathered in the freight yards with voluntary means, and the government would not forcefully relocate. However, the freight yard was not built for fur merchants, and its core was the ability to tannate leather. As long as there were enough craftsmen gathering there to form a strong fur processing ability, merchants would rush to move over. The merchants in the city did not support it, and Du Zhongxiao did not mind using the power in his hands to provide convenience to other merchants.

Several people left Shouningfang and arrived at the Prime Minister's House. Du Zhongxiao said to Tao Shiqi: "You go back to the state yard to call Qi Kongmu, I will wait in the tea shop there."

Tao Shiqi agreed with his hands and turned around and left.

Du Zhongxiao took Feng Yuan and the other two to sit down at the tea shop and said, "The fur merchants can't do this by voluntarily. Whether the fur merchants can do it depends on them. These people are more difficult to speak than fur merchants."

Feng Yuan nodded, feeling deeply. When he was in Wynn Supervisory, it can be seen from Zhong Ada. Their business is already good, with a small business, and he has enough food and clothing, and the store is just a home, so he doesn't want to move easily.

After drinking tea in the tea shop for more than half an hour, Qi Kongmu and Tao Shiqi rushed over.

Qi Kongmu stepped forward to salute, and Du Zhongxiao said, "I want to build a fur yard in the city, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, he told me about his plan to build a freight yard in Shouningfang and found a fur merchant in the city. He said: "The key to the freight yard is the craftsmen who tanned leather. These people are not as good as fur merchants. They are all small businesses. I can't persuade them to arrive at the freight yard."

The officials such as the official Kongmu of Qi, the direct superior of Du Zhongxiao, who was in charge of the envoy's courtyard, had a clear idea at this time and bowed to him, "What do the official want? But I have ordered that the young man will never refuse!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Since the tanning craftsman cannot be invited, he has to arrange a service. You can continue to instruct all the tanning craftsmen in this city, Yangqu County, Yuci County and Yongli Supervision will take turns to serve in the cargo yard. Tell them clearly that this time, this time, is a employed person, not a strong person. During the stewardship, the rice will be paid on a daily basis, and there will be wages in the future. You can decide how much it is. Remember not to be mean to these people. In addition, you will send another hundred people from the army of this city. You should be young and strong, not old, weak, sick and disabled."

Qi Kongmu agreed one by one.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay, remember this. Now I will find the head of the tanning craftsman in this city. I will ask questions here."

Qi Kongmu agreed and went there hurriedly.

The tanning craftsman is a guild of small producers and is not as prestigious as the fur merchants. Du Zhongxiao waited for more than an hour before seeing three people following Qi Kongmu and arrived at the tea shop.

The first one was an old man with gray hair and beard, with a small body and a sheepskin coat. A strong man behind him was glossy and followed behind with his arms shaking. The last one was a white-faced man, who looked gentle.

When they arrived at the tea shop, several people greeted Du Zhongxiao together.

He ordered a few people to sit down, and Du Zhongxiao said, "The weather is cold, it is the time to traffic in fur. I discussed with the magistrate's minister and intend to build a fur yard in this city. Today, I specially asked you to come. The three of you are the leaders of this city, so I don't know what they call it?"

The little old man in front bowed and said, "The little Hong Futong, Chengyamen and his colleagues, are in charge of the tanning business in the north of the city. This big man is Cui Liyan, in charge of the west of the city. The white-faced man is Li Song, in charge of the east of the city. Whatever the officials want us to do, just give us instructions."

Du Zhongxiao said: "To build a fur yard, you have to attract merchants to come. Now you think about it is to build a fur tanning business there. You take turns to work on the job. Don't worry, the business is all about hiring and money will be distributed. You three will go back and arrange it properly, divide the craftsmen into three rounds and replace them in ten days. Speaking of which, if you are not doing the job, the yamen will be severely punished!"

Hong Futong looked at the other two people and bowed, "The poor officials are the young! Now is the season for good business. If you work in the yamen, wouldn't it cost you food and clothing? Why not wait for the first half of the year, the business is not so busy, what should I start?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "You also know that now is the time to do fur business. If you don't do it now, what's the use of asking you for half a year! When you arrive at the yard, you will be paid for money and food. How could you miss your food and clothing? According to my estimate, ordinary craftsmen will get no less money and food than doing business by themselves."

Hong Futong shook his head: "Why do officials deceive us ordinary people and have little knowledge? The yamen has distributed so much money and food, and it is easy to hire, so why bother to take turns?"

"It was just a hiring, but I didn't make it clear! It's just that time is urgent, so I won't let you get a round of trouble. How can I find so many people? Besides, the yard is first built, and there is no business to do, so I can't pay money or food. I keep my word, don't speculate randomly."

Hong Futong shook his head, obviously not believing Du Zhongxiao's words, looked at the other two and didn't say anything.

Li Song, the white-faced official, bowed: "It's not to be hiding the official. We craftsmen have not much business. We have some money to provide food for our family every day. If we work as a yamen, the family will lose their food. I hope the official will be sympathetic."

Du Zhongxiao looked at Qi Kongmu and said to Li Song: "Since you are working as a job, you will be given away grain and rice to ensure that you have no trouble with your meals. Don't worry about this. If this yard is built, I wonder how many fur merchants will gather in Bingzhou, where your business will be prosperous, and you will also get the same benefits!"

Cui Liyan, who had been silent, said: "Officials, we craftsmen are not as good as those who do business. We rely on our hands to make a living. No matter how many fur merchants there are in the city, we can only do so many tasks. What are the additional benefits? I hope the officials will think it is difficult for us to find food, but this is the mission."

Du Zhongxiao took a breath and shook his head secretly, feeling that there was nothing to say to these people. How could the craftsmen gathered together and let them produce the same as before? Under the aggregation effect, the efficiency increased many times. At that time, of course they made more money. However, this kind of thing could not be said to make them believe it, and it would be a waste of talk.

Standing up, Du Zhongxiao pointed at Kongmu and said, "Kongmu, I have given the matter clear, please arrange it. I have to go back to the yamen to report to the governor, so I won't delay you."

After saying that, he greeted Tao Shiqi and Shisanlang and went straight.

Looking at Du Zhongxiao's departure, Hong Futong and the other two looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They thought Du Zhongxiao was discussing with them, but they didn't expect to leave like this.

Qi Kongmu coughed and said to the three people: "This is the Du Guanren, who is in charge of the government affairs of a state. I don't know how many major matters are to be busy! Today I've asked you to discuss with you, but I'm going to push you back and forth, so I won't give face to the officials!"

The three of them were so scared that they hurriedly bowed, not even daring.

Qi Kongmu said: "Officer Du did this to benefit you, don't you know? I'm confused! When there are too many fur merchants, you can collect more apprentices and expand your business. How come you say there is no benefit? If the goods yard is really built, the most advantage is you!"

Hong Futong said embarrassedly: "Kongmu, we all rely on craftsmanship to make a living. No matter how many business we have, we can only accept so many fur merchants in the city. What if there are many kind-hearted officials in Du, they don't know how we do things."

Qi Kongmu had a stern face, expressionless on his face, and he said firmly: "The official is the official rank of Jinshi, and he has more knowledge than you. The official you can think of must have thought of has long been thought of! There is no need to discuss this matter, just go back and arrange it, all the craftsmen will be distributing every tenth round! I said that, this is the first thing the official told me to do when he was in office. If any one fails, he will not have to stay in Bingzhou!"

Seeing Qi Kongmu say harsh words, Hong Futong and the other two dared not say anything. Du Zhongxiao is an official and has many concerns in doing things. They can keep complaining in front of him and find all kinds of excuses. Qi Kongmu is not so easy to talk to. He is in charge of many public officials in the yamen, and he is really good at causing trouble for these craftsmen. Without these means, why should the yamen control various guilds?

In fact, Qi Kongmu didn't know what Du Zhongxiao was going to do now. He only knew one thing. This was the first major thing Du Zhongxiao did after he arrived in Bingzhou. If he handed it to himself, he would not be able to mess it up. Otherwise, his status would not be preserved. The public officials were under the jurisdiction of the envoy, and Du Zhongxiao was in charge of the envoy, and he could not afford it in one sentence.

Hong Futong and the other two discussed in a low voice for a while, but they could not imagine it, so they had to look at Kongmu and said, "Since it was the yamen, the young people had to obey the order. Then they went back and told the craftsmen of our business to prepare for the round. When will they start, I hope Kongmu will make it clear."

Qi Kongmu nodded: "This is the best. You just need to prepare in advance. Once you have prepared, I will know you."
