I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Just when the business world was in an uproar over raw silk and linen, Li Shimin's birthday also arrived.

December 25th,

Li Shimin held a banquet in the palace, and officials of fifth rank and above were fortunate enough to attend.

"Hey, Mr. Liu is here. How is Mr. Liu?"

"Isn't this Mr. Yang? Long time no see."

"I met Cui Yushi,"

Li Shimin hadn't arrived yet, and familiar officials began to gather in groups to chat.

"Cui Yushi, the price of raw silk and linen has skyrocketed recently. You, the Cui family, must have made a lot of money from this business." The Yang family's servant said with a smile.

"No, to be honest with Brother Yang, our goods are too small, and we didn't expect that the Western Regions would treat this low-grade silk and linen as a treasure.

We also asked merchants from the Western Regions. It is true that there are many places where it is hot all year round, and people cannot afford high-end goods like silk.

So it’s reasonable to buy silk linen. It's just that we don't have so much goods. "

Cui Renzhi shook his head and looked very regretful, but he did not say that someone asked them for half a million pounds of silk cloth.

"Oh, who says it isn't? In the past years, although the sales volume of this raw silk linen cloth was, it was not so big. Our Liujia Cloth Shop also sold out in a short time. Now we are preparing to allocate it to various industries in the south."

"In my opinion, today's prices should not fall. Retail investors in the West Market are now selling raw silk for 280 yuan a piece, and linen for 220 yuan a piece.

Yang heard that several big dealers in the Western Region were preparing to start eating in large quantities.

I estimate that the final price will reach 350 yuan per piece of raw silk. "

"Three hundred and fifty coins? That's a full double, so those of us who make silk and hemp can make a lot of money today. Hahahaha."

"However, you found out that Prince Ji's Mansion was not involved. Do you think there is some conspiracy?" Cui Renzhi asked in a low voice.

"This is not simple, because Prince Ji's Mansion has never been in the business of raw silk and linen. Maybe Prince Ji's Mansion dislikes the small profits.

If not, I guess he would have intervened and snatched it away. "The royal censor of the Wang family interrupted.

"To be on the safe side, everyone should be careful, hey? Aren't those brothers from the Wei family? Call us over to find out." Cui Renzhi looked up and saw the brothers from the Wei family winking at the others.

"Brother Wei, you're fine, come here and let's talk." Yang Shilang dragged Wei Siyan and others to their circle.

"Brother Wei, you have been very prosperous in recent years. Your family business is getting bigger and bigger, and we are all jealous when we see it." Cui Renzhi said jokingly.

"Everywhere, this is all under the care of His Highness Prince Ji. Otherwise, we would not be where we are today." Wei Siyan said modestly.

"Brother Wei, I wonder if you have heard about the price increase of raw silk, cotton and linen in the market?

I wonder if you participated? "Wang Yushi asked.

"Of course we know about such big things, but you also know that we are mainly engaged in the tea business.

The family also makes raw silk, cotton and linen, but I heard that the quantity is small and the stock will be out of stock in a few days. Now it seems that they are raising money in the south. "Wei Siyan said bluntly.

"Brother Wei, you have a close relationship with Prince Ji's Mansion. I wonder if you have any news.

His Royal Highness Prince Ji has never been involved. It is said that Prince Ji's palace does not have much money left. I don't know whether it is true or not. "Cui Inzhi made insinuating remarks,

Wesley, the youngest, was anxious.

"Who said Prince Ji's Mansion has no money? Prince Ji's heart is bigger than yours, there are dozens of them..."

"Sili! Don't talk nonsense. How can His Highness Prince Ji talk about things casually? I will think about it later when I go back."

The eldest brother Wei Siyan interrupted Wei Sili and scolded him angrily.

Wesley was scolded by his elder brother. Although he was a little unconvinced, he still retreated.

"Don't blame me, don't listen to Sili's nonsense. We don't know anything about Prince Ji's Mansion. Wei took them there to have a look if nothing happened."

After saying that he was about to leave with his three younger brothers, the Yang family's servant grabbed Wei Siyan.

"Brother Wei, our two families are in-laws. We are all relatives. There is nothing we can say. You know the situation outside now. If there is an accident, the loss will be huge.

Brother Wei, for the sake of you and my in-laws, please tell the truth. "Shilang Yang said it very sincerely,

Others also looked at Wei Siyan. There were several in-laws from the Wei family here.

"Oh~~Okay, but Wei Mou said, you don't want to spread the news.

It’s not that Prince Ji’s Mansion didn’t participate, but it’s because he disliked the small profit from scattered items. Prince Ji’s Mansion had already sent people to the south to purchase raw silk and linen in large quantities.

Yesterday, King Ji sent someone to tell us that he had reserved 200,000 yuan of goods for us so that we could make a little profit.

The others all belong to Prince Ji's Mansion. "Wei Siyan looked left and right as he spoke, for fear of being overheard by others.

"Then I don't know when King Ji's goods will arrive and how much they are in total. How much can the two hundred thousand given to Brother Wei be sold for?" Yang Shilang asked quickly.

"The price he gave me was 250 cash for raw silk and 150 cash for linen. He could sell raw silk for 300 cash and linen for 220 cash.

I heard that we have already reached an agreement with several big businessmen in the Western Regions, with goods worth more than three million guan.

This time King Ji can earn at least one million yuan. "Wei Siyan told the truth.

"One million guan!" Everyone was amazed. Prince Ji's Mansion was indeed the same as before. While they were busy working on more than 100,000 guan, Prince Ji's Mansion had already started planning for a million guan.

"Brother Wei, it takes time for goods from the south to arrive here. Why is it so fast for Prince Ji's Mansion?" Cui Renzhi asked.

"When the price increased, King Ji sent people to contact the big price merchants in the south, and they would transport it to the Weishui River by land and water.

It should arrive tonight, because King Ji informed Wei that he would take the money to the Weishui Pier for delivery early tomorrow morning.

I heard there were dozens of big ships.

Wei Mou has already said it, and I hope you will not spread the word, otherwise it will cause chaos in the palace's plan, and Wei Mou will be held responsible. "

After speaking, Wei Siyan bowed his hands to several people, and then left with his three younger brothers.

"Brother Cui, this Prince Ji is really generous. Doesn't it mean that Prince Ji's palace is running out of cash?" Yang Shilang asked doubtfully.

"Hmph, if you could listen to what King Ji said, there would be no lies in the world." Cui Renzhi snorted coldly.

"Then what are we going to do with it? I guess the goods from Prince Ji's Mansion this time are enough for these large caravans. Even they can't eat them, and some will be left in Chang'an in the end." Officials from other aristocratic families were a little anxious.

Cui Inzhi thought for a moment, then looked around and lowered his voice and said:

"Didn't Wei Siyan say that the delivery hasn't been completed yet? When we go back later, we will report to the clan, and we will work together to buy all the three million goods tonight.

There is no way our family can earn more than 100,000 yuan, but it is better than letting Prince Ji’s Mansion earn it. "
