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

There are still a few days until Yuanzheng, and the commotion between Silk and Linen has begun to calm down.

Because the people who bought silk and linen in the industrial park disappeared, the signs that had been hanging in the chamber of commerce also disappeared overnight.

The large-scale Western Region caravans that were to be purchased in large quantities were also missing.

As if the acquisitions happening in the past few days are illusory,

"My lord, I have already found out that the Jin Palace has purchased 740,000 guan of raw silk and linen from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the delivery has now been completed."

Wang Xuance reported the report, and he went to his acquaintances in the Ministry of Civil Affairs to inquire about the matter.

"Seven hundred and forty thousand yuan? Ouch, why is Lao Jiu so rich? It seems that he has made a lot of money secretly over the years."

Li Shen was a little surprised. Seventy-four thousand yuan was not a small amount, it was a huge sum of money. He did not expect that Li Zhi had accumulated so much money quietly over the years.

"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared, and the car dealership is also ready. I don't know when we will take action. What price will Your Majesty prepare for the cotton cloth?"

Wang Hongfuhui reported from the side.

"Well, there is no accurate price. We just have to keep it twenty cents lower than the linen from those companies." Li Shen thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, why don't we just lower ourselves to the lowest level? This way we can suppress them all at once." Wang Hongfu was a little confused.

"Because we don't have much goods in hand, I am afraid that if the aristocratic families unite to purchase our cotton cloth, the gain will outweigh the loss.

When this year's cotton comes from the northwest, we will lower the price. Let's play with them first before Yuan Zheng.

You go inform your cousin and ask the workshop not to stop work. We will give Yuan Zheng five times his wages this month.

Let them rush to work as quickly as possible. "

Li Shen explained that although they had a lot of goods, if the price was low, the family could still afford it together.

When they sell at a high price, Li Shen has nothing to resist and is powerless.

"Yes, I will send someone quickly to notify you." Wang Hongfu agreed.

"Well, let's start and make this Yuan Zheng lively. By the way, you can ask people to go to the shops in the East and West markets to sell cotton cloth. First, order eighty cents a piece.

Each person can only buy one. Even if a noble family wants to buy it, he has to have so many people queuing up.

As long as we drag the cotton cloth to the northwest until it is completed, we will be victorious.

Let the people of Chang'an be able to make a suit of clothes before Yuan Zheng. "

The largest shop on Buhang Street in Xishi City is owned by Prince Ji's Mansion, and its name is Xixi Buhang.

Everyone knows that Xixi is the eldest daughter of King Ji. It is very likely that this piece of cloth is a dowry saved for his daughter.

Today, there are piles of cloth piled at the door of Xixi Clothing Store.

A dozen waiters were waiting for customers in front of the door.

"Take a look, Prince Ji's cotton fabrics are officially on sale, don't miss it if you pass by.

High quality cotton, low price.

It's better than raw silk linen. Come and take a look. "

The guys were shouting at the door.

The West Market is a civilian area, and the prices of items are very low, unlike the East Market, which is a place belonging to the aristocracy.

"Cotton from Prince Ji's Mansion?" Passersby stopped when they saw this.

"Please come in, sir. Many people should have used our cotton cloth. It is stronger than other cloths in terms of strength and warmth."

The guys began to lead customers into the store,

"How much does this piece of cotton cost you?" a woman asked.

"Eighty cents a horse," the clerk replied.

"Eighty cents?" The woman was surprised. She had just tried it. It was soft and delicate, much more comfortable than linen, and it was also warm.

Even if the price of linen does not increase, it will cost a hundred cents per piece, but this cotton is so cheap.

"Bring me two," the woman said immediately.

"I'm really sorry. We have rules here. Each person can only buy one. We won't sell more.

Moreover, I don’t recommend that noble people buy more. The price of this cloth may be reduced after Yuan Zheng. "The guy explained.

"Really? Well, then give me one."

Most of Li Shen's cloths are plain, so there's nothing to choose from.

In this way, more and more people in the West City learned the news and came to buy cloth, and the news spread to the entire Chang'an City at an extremely fast speed.

"Manager Cui is in trouble." A servant hurriedly ran in to the Cui family mansion.

"What's going on in such a hurry? How unbecoming is it?" the Cui family's steward frowned and admonished.

"Manager Cui, the cloth shop of Prince Ji's Mansion in Xishi is selling cotton cloth in large quantities, and the price is only eighty cents per piece. Now many people have gone to Xishi." The servant replied breathlessly.

"What did you say?" Cui's steward stood up.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Manager Cui, how dare you say something like this? Everyone knows about it now."

"Come in with me and meet the clan elders." After Cui Guanshi said this, he hurried to the inner house with his servants.

It only took two hours for this matter to spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, including the noble families.

"Bang." A tea cup was smashed.

"Why haven't you contacted those businessmen from the Western Regions yet?"

In Prince Jin's Mansion, Li Zhi broke a tea cup angrily. He had also just received news that Prince Ji's Mansion was selling cotton cloth at a low price.

He knew very well what this meant. He was still placing his trust in the merchants in the Western Regions, especially since several merchants had already negotiated prices with them.

"Li Shen!!" Li Zhi's eyes turned red.

"Your Majesty, we have been searching everywhere, but we heard that they have already gone to the Western Region. It seems that they are pressed for time and there is something important." The steward said in a low voice.

"Hmph, what's the matter? I now suspect that Li Shen is responsible for this matter." Li Zhi roared.

"But it doesn't look like it. I think Prince Ji's palace sells cloth at a low price. Is it possible that he is retaliating for the family robbing him of his goods?" The palace steward guessed,

"No matter what, we can't keep this batch of goods in our hands. You can immediately let the caravan below sell it on the market, even if the price is lower." Li Zhi was ready to stop the loss in time.

He felt that it was not simple here.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The steward agreed and went to make arrangements.

Duke Zhao's Mansion.

After Changsun Wuji went down to court, he was drinking tea in his study. Sitting next to him were Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan.

"My lord, we have news. The price of cotton cloth sold by Prince Ji in the West Market is eighty yuan per piece. However, each person can only buy one piece, and we will not sell any more."

At this time, the housekeeper of Zhao Guogong's mansion came in and reported.

"Well, I understand, you can go out." Changsun Wuji replied.

"Father, it seems that King Ji is taking revenge on the noble family for stealing his goods. This cotton should not be sold at this price."

Changsun Huan spoke up.

“Haha, revenge is for sure, but it’s not necessarily because the family robbed his goods.

These ignorant people, don’t they know that King Ji is promoting cotton in the northwest?

Which of these people has not planted large areas of cotton in the northwest?

Don't they know that the quality of cotton is many times better than linen? It's really ignorant and fearless to go for it when you see benefits. "
