Chapter 414: Exchanging Grain for Brocade

After returning to Qingming, Wei Yuan opened the map, continuing to study the information on the seven counties in the western part of Ning State.

The seven counties have distinct seasons and abundant products, and they are considered fertile lands even in Western Jin. Most of the industries in these counties are controlled by the Xu Family, with the remaining noble families holding a small part, the Western Jin court owning ten percent, and then there are also various other non-Xu family middle and small wealthy households accounting for another ten percent.

The seven counties are also a land of mulberries and rice, producing a large amount of textiles, with Ning Jin being quite renowned. Ning Jin is luxurious and extravagant, with gorgeous colors. The manufacturing process requires a lot of labor, and skilled craftsmen can weave patterns that are like paintings. Many well-known time-honored brands, such as Mi Ji, Yao Ji, and others, are big players in the brocade business.
