Chapter 52 Lu Sanyuan

After talking about the Jiangnan Silk Industry Cooperative, Hu Chuyuancai, Mei Qizhao and Huo Hongji talked about what they had seen and heard in Japan, which made them both sigh.

After that, they secretly discussed the matter of salt administration.

Hu Chuyuan didn't go back that night. Of course, they were not in the mood to really drink.

The next morning, Hu Chuyuan returned to the Hu family compound. As soon as he entered the door, the family hurried to report to the old lady and several ladies, and everyone gathered in the Baishi Tower one after another.

After he said good-bye to the old lady and the first lady, Mrs. Luo, the seventh aunt, the ninth aunt and two younger brothers, and the little sister also came over.

The family waited for such a long time before he came back. Of course, there was a lot to say. After lunch, the eldest lady went to He Yuetang to play mahjong, and Hu Chuyuan continued to work in the big study of Baishi Building.

Yan Shizhang said hello in advance, and Liu Chengxiang soon brought Lu Sanyuan over. Not long after, Wang Yirong also came.

Hu Chuyuan first asked Lu Sanyuan to come in. He took a general look and saw that he was a strong young man with dark skin. He was 26 years old. His eyes were very sharp, and his clothes were simple but very clean.

Take a look, Hu Chuyuan felt that this might be a very careful person.

Let Lu Sanyuan sit down. Hu Chuyuan asked him roughly what books he liked to read, and then asked him, "Sanyuan, if I give you 10,000 mu of mulberry fields now and let you take care of the first-class raw silk, what are you going to do?"

Lu Sanyuan said without thinking, "This is easy to do, but it's not easy to do."

Hu Chuyuan said, "Then try your best to say it!"

"Yes!" Lu Sanyuan nodded and said yes, "First of all, it depends on where this 10,000 mu of mulberry field is. The water is abundant and the water quality is suitable for planting and raising mulberry trees, so it will be easy to do. Secondly, I want to extract hundreds of mu of the best fields from it to grow mulberry seedlings. Zhejiang people grow mulberry by branching, which is simple and fast, but the yield of mulberry trees is not high. Nanxun people use the grafting method to grow mulberry, and it is oblique bandage grafting. Mulberry leaves can be produced after two years. The mulberry leaves can be produced with high quality and sufficient yield. The third is to choose silkworms, and the fourth is to find silkworms...!"

He said dozens of points of attention in one breath. Obviously, he is extremely proficient in raising mulberry and silkworms. He is particular about the selection of nursery, the selection of water sources, the selection of mulberry, and the selection of silkworms.

However, the most unique thing about Nanxun people is the silkworm. As soon as they come up, they will pick out the too thin and too thin silkworms and throw them away, and only choose the best silkworms. Although the output will decline, it can ensure the quality of the whole Nanxun silk.

So, Huzhou is born in the world, and Nanxun is born in Huzhou.

Liu Chengxiang is also an sang Siye. After listening to Lu Sanyuan's words, he couldn't help nodding and praising, "It's really worthy of mulberry essence."

Hu Chuyuan also nodded silently and said, "Well, I'll give you a chance. I'm going to run a Jiangnan silk industry cooperative now. This cooperative itself is not profitable. It is mainly responsible for teaching technology to silk farmers in Zhejiang and improving the quality of raw silk in Zhejiang. I want you to be in charge. Manager Liu just hangs up a name. When you can really be a shopkeeper, I will leave the whole cooperative to you to take care of!"

Lu Sanyuan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, the little one will live up to the love of the owner!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Then you go to work first. Manager Liu and I have other things to say!"

"Yes, the owner and the shopkeepers are busy first!" After saying this, Lu Sanyuan was about to turn around and leave, but in the middle of the walk, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said to Hu Chuyuan, "My employer, Sanyuan has another very strange thing to say, but I don't know whether it's good or not, whether I should say it or not!"

Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Tell me!"

Lu Sanyuan was not in a hurry to say it.

Seeing that he was afraid, Hu Chuyuan motioned everyone else to leave first and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Sanyuan said, "This is really strange. The owner may not know that our surname Lu is also a relatively common surname in Nanxun, and there are more than a dozen generations rooted in Nanxun. Lu Xiyuan and Lu, one of Nanxun's four elephants and eight cows, are my distant relatives. My cousin is also a maid in his house. A few days ago, he invited me to talk about something and wanted me to work for him. He talked about half of it, but Zhang Songxian, the two of the four elephants in this town, came to him and deliberately gave me away. At that time, I kept an eye on my mind and let my cousin grow an ear when she went in to deliver tea. Later, my cousin told me that she didn't hear anything, but only heard them talk about the price of salt!"

"Oh?" Hu Chuyuan's heart moved and deliberately asked, "What's so strange about this?"

Lu Sanyuan thought for a while and said, "Zhang Songxian used to be the largest salt merchant in Nanxun. He used to talk about salt prices, which was normal, but now he doesn't work in the salt market at all, but he came to Lu Xiyuan, a person who has never run a salt industry, to negotiate salt prices. After talking for nearly half an hour, I feel strange."

Hu Chuyuan nodded silently and said, "Yes, it's very strange. Have you ever thought about what kind of possibility?"

Lu Sanyuan said, "The peak of salt is used in the twelfth winter. I think it should be the salt price of Nanxun, or the whole Huzhou. If the two companies work together, it is still possible to speculate on the salt price in Huzhou. In case, it's better for the owner to hoard more sea salt in Huzhou.

Hu Chuyuan was secretly happy and thought that Lu Sanyuan was indeed a careful person and worth using.

However, there is no intention to prevent people, and he can't be sure that Lu Sanyuan is not a annihire, at least he can't be sure in front of him.

He said, "I will continue to let people pay attention to this matter. At present, the most urgent thing is the Jiangnan Silk Industry Cooperative. You do this for me. Money is not a problem. You should first choose a nursery in all counties of Hangzhou Prefecture and cultivate some good hands who are good at seedling grafting on the spot!"

Lu Sanyuan said, "Don't worry, my employer, I'm going back to Nanxun to recruit people. In Nanxun Town, good hands who are good at seedling grafting are everywhere. I can recruit hundreds of them, as long as the price is affordable.

Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said to him, "The account is with Manager Liu. I'll give you 100,000 taels to prepare first. After the New Year, you can show me the account. At that time, I will naturally know how capable you are!"

Lu Sanyuan was overjoyed. Hu Chuyuan said that he would give him financial power and let him cover the sky with one hand. How much ability he has depends on whether his achievements are beautiful.

Of course, this is a good opportunity he dreams of.
