Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 511 A fire that burned them all

the next day.

Zhu Xuan waited for about a day, and Cen Jing came back with good news.

"Your Highness, a businessman came to beg us to buy the extra raw silk they purchased."

"It is said that those merchants failed to sell last year's silk and it was overstocked in the warehouse. This year they purchased a large amount of raw silk, and they can no longer weave silk."

"They don't want to lose money, so they can only beg us."

After listening to Cen Jing's words, Zhu Xuan knew that the second step of his plan would be completed successfully.

Zhu Xuan said: "According to the plan, we will acquire them all, but the price must be kept low."

"it is good!"

Cen Jing nodded.

Of course he knows what to do, he understands all Zhu Xuan's plans.

After going down to work, Zhu Xuan was not idle. He led the three little girls out to take a look at the raw silk sent to their warehouse by other merchants.

"Brother, can we sell it?"

Mu Yuanjun asked, tilting his head.

She doesn't know much about business, but she knows that when the quantity increases, she may be like other businessmen and can only hold down the position.

"of course can."

Zhu Xuan said calmly: "I am currently only selling original silk fabrics, etc., but in the future, I will make some ready-made clothes based on the physical characteristics of overseas people and Westerners, and add my unique designs. Don’t worry about not being able to sell it.”

In ancient times, people had to buy cloth by themselves, tailor them to their sizes, and then sew them themselves.

Unlike later generations, ready-made clothes can be sold in clothing stores.

“We sell ready-made clothes, can others wear them?”

Cen Hua asked in confusion.

Zhu Xuan was about to introduce various sizes, ready-to-wear and other concepts in Daming. He smiled and said: "This is also easy to solve. We will formulate the most standardized size specifications, as well as children's clothing, men's clothing, women's clothing, elderly clothing, etc."

"For example, Hua'er's figure is suitable for wearing medium size clothes."

"In addition, some people who are relatively thin and short can wear small sizes. If there are some fat people and tall people, they can wear large sizes..."

Zhu Xuan said simply.

The Ming Dynasty was still a small-scale peasant economy and was self-sufficient. Zhu Xuan could not guarantee and did not know whether size and ready-made clothes were popular in the Ming Dynasty, but he was certain that they were very popular overseas.

What's more, Zhu Xuan's sizes are all aimed at overseas people, especially Europeans. He does not expect to open the market in Daming and develop in Daming in the future.

Xu Miaojin smiled and said: "Brother has so many ideas, I guess they will be useful."

Zhu Xuan looked at Hou Xian beside him and said, "Did you hear that? First, I'm going to find a group of people who are smarter and have strong hands-on skills. I'm going to train them on how to design clothes."

"Slave will make arrangements."

Hou Xian bent down and said.

Previous jade designs, cosmetics designs, etc. were all done by Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Xuan has a lot of experience in teaching others how to design.

Zhu Xuan left the next matter of making silk completely to Cen Jing. Hou Xian quickly found more than ten people and brought them to the government office.

Zhu Xuan gradually taught them design concepts, color matching, Westerners' clothing habits, styles, etc., and then taught them how to design.

-

While Zhu Xuan was busy, Shen Bin's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.

The merchants he gathered together agreed to fight back against Zhu Xuan together, but within a day, they betrayed him and begged Zhu Xuan to buy raw silk.

More importantly, the raw silk was resold to Zhu Xuan at a price lower than the purchase price.

Businessmen have no choice. Between losing a lot and losing a small amount, they choose the latter. They would rather lose a small amount than lose money directly.

With one person at the beginning, other people started selling raw silk to Zhu Xuan. Shen Bin could not have imagined that Zhu Xuan had such a big appetite and could eat so much raw silk.

It shocked him.

However, Shen Bin would not do nothing. At this point, he had to do something to fight back, so he found a servant from Li Jun's family.

According to the plan, Li Jun will send raw silk to Zhu Xuan tomorrow. This servant has long been bribed by Shen Bin.

"Master Shen."

The servant was quickly brought to Shen Bin and asked, "Master Shen, what are your orders?"

Shen Bin didn't speak, just clapped his hands.

The person behind him understood and brought a basin of silver ingots and placed them in front of the servant.

"There are five hundred taels here. As long as you can help me hide something that can easily catch fire in Li Jun's raw silk, I will give you another five hundred taels when the fire in the government warehouse starts."

Shen Bin's actions became increasingly extreme and bolder.

Now, he no longer had the worries he had at the beginning. The raw silk he wanted to buy from Zhu Xuan was burned down, leaving Zhu Xuan with nothing to lose. In the end, he had to beg for himself.

"Burn...burned?"

The servant asked with some fear.

"It's all burned."

Shen Bin said coldly: "As long as you can do it, you can get one thousand taels. This is money you will never earn in your life. If you are unwilling to do it, I can find someone else."

"Do it, I will do it!"

The servant nodded quickly.

Shen Bin gave him the money and asked someone to take him away.

The servant held the heavy amount of silver, which almost made his hands sore. He first went to the nearest bank, exchanged it for Ming Dynasty treasure notes, and put it happily in his clothes.

Today's Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes have developed again under the reform. They have been trusted by many Ming Dynasty businessmen and are used more and more widely.

However, as soon as this guy walked out of the bank gate, two people blocked his retreat.

"Go away, do you know who I am? How dare you stand in my way!"

With just a few dollars, the servant felt completely elated.

Now he's acting a bit arrogant.

"Then you know who I am?"

A man opened his clothes, revealing the flying fish robe and embroidered spring knife underneath.

The servant was startled.

He didn't know much and had never seen a Jinyiwei before, but he could recognize that it was an official uniform. Before he could react, he was taken away.

Finally he was thrown in front of Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Xuan knew that the Shen family might be his resistance. Although the Shen family did not dare to collude with the White Lotus Sect, they dared to compete with Zhu Xuan through commercial means.

Therefore, the people from Jinyiwei have been keeping an eye on the Shen family.

This servant came out of Shen's house and ran to the bank first. Jin Yiwei thought something was wrong and brought him back.

"Huge wealth, origin unknown."

Zhu Xuan took out the five hundred taels of Ming Dynasty treasure notes and sneered: "Don't tell me that a servant can earn five hundred taels. You seem to be from the Li family. What do you want to do when Shen Bin comes to you?" "

The servant already knew Zhu Xuan's identity, and when he saw the fierce Jin Yiwei next to him, he was about to pee with fright, so he hurriedly told everything Shen Bin had arranged without any hesitation.

"Your Highness, please let me go."

The servant said, kowtowing vigorously again.

Ask Zhu Xuan to let him go, he doesn't want to die, and no one wants to die.
