Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 66 New Year's Eve (4)

"Take a look, take a look, the best Songjiang cotton cloth!"

"Wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year, the cotton cloth in Songjiang is the first!"

"Auntie likes Miss Huanxi, she wears it beautifully in her heart!"

"It's made into a skirt and it's so pretty, the man laughed when he saw it!"

"There are so many women in the world, it's better to be your own wife!"

A few busy and sweaty vendors kept their hands busy, and they couldn't stop talking about interesting business ideas.

The people around who were picking cotton cloth burst into laughter.

"Hey, old man, would you like some?" Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xiongying to the front, and the sharp-eyed vendors immediately saw, "I see that you are a wealthy member of the family. It is the New Year, and you don't change into new clothes for the old and the young. Wear it?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on Zhu Xiongying, and he smiled, "Hey, this is your grandson, the young master looks really bright, and he was carved out of the same mold as you!"

It is also profitable, and those who do business can speak more than those who tell fortunes.

First, he praised Zhu Xiongying for his good looks, and then said that he was born in the same mold as Zhu Yuanzhang. Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of smiles.

"Look at our cloth, other people's big shops always pay a foot, but our small business costs seven cents a foot!" The vendors continued to shout.

"My little brother, let me ask you!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the stall, rubbing the white cotton cloth with his big hands, and asked, "Why is your cloth so much cheaper than others, and there are no good ones that are cheap!"

"Grandpa, this is a good product with high quality and low price!" The vendor hurriedly shouted, and clasped his fists and said to the other selected people, "The genuine Songjiang product, neighbors, look at how thick our cloth is and how densely stitched it is! "

"Then why is it so cheap?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"This" the vendor was taken aback, he never imagined that someone would be serious with him because of the price, and wanted to break the casserole and ask the end.

But Zhu Xiongying knew why, the economy of Ming Dynasty was the economy of textiles, once the price of textiles dropped, the interests of all three parties, whether civil, commercial or government, would be damaged.

"Say it quickly!" Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, "If you don't say it, we'll go to Yingtian Mansion to sue you. Do you think your business can still be successful?"

"Don't, don't!" The peddler was in a hurry. As the saying goes, there are as many officials as there are dogs in the capital. If you shoot a brick at random, seven people will be hit, and eight of them are Beijing officials from the Six Departments.

Judging by the old man's attire and the clothes he is wearing, he is not a simple person. If he really goes to Ying Tianfu and shouts, he will really be unable to continue his business.

At this time, the people who were picking cotton cloth also stopped their movements and looked at the vendor suspiciously.

At the foot of the emperor in the imperial capital, the ordinary people are like this. They want to pick up cheap things, but they are also afraid that things will not be good.I bought good things, but they were noisy and expensive, and I couldn’t live.If someone fooled them, my boy, it would be a big deal.

"Don't tell me, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "This is the best cotton cloth. This year's new cloth, you transport it from Songjiang and sell it. You don't need to pay for it? You don't need to arrange it along the way? You don't need labor? Why sell it at such a low price? What?"

"Hey, old man, let me tell you this!" The merchant was anxious, gritted his teeth and said, "This cotton cloth is originally produced in my family's workshop, so the price will be lower if you make it yourself. It must be cheaper to sell your own vegetables than to buy them from those vegetable vendors in the market!"

The people around listened and nodded.

But Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "That's what you say, there is no profiteering. Even if the price of such a good cloth is [-]% lower, there are still people who buy it. Retailing is troublesome. You can buy it from so many shops, which saves worry and effort. You can earn more, why sell it along the street?"

"That's right, you youngster is dishonest!" Someone in the crowd immediately shouted.

The peddler was sweating profusely, seeing that the business was about to be disrupted by the old man, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, cupped his hands and said, "Old man, I just want to buy something and go back to celebrate the New Year, why do you want to?"

"We are stubborn people. When we encounter inappropriate things, we have to ask why!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly, "There is a saying, if you don't do anything, you are either rape or robbery!"

Zhu Xiongying finally couldn't help it, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

"It's almost the same!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Tell me, why are you selling it so cheap?" He smiled again, "If you don't say it, don't do business!"

At this time, Li Jinglong, who was on the sidelines as a guard, stepped forward, facing the vendors and turning his back to the onlookers, silently lifted the corner of his clothes, revealing a bronze medal.

Jinyiwei!
On the spot, the merchant was dumbfounded.

After a long time, he said dejectedly, "To tell you the truth, it is really cotton cloth woven by the villain's own workshop!"

An old man of extraordinary status, with a brocade guard by his side, how dare he offend a businessman.

"In autumn, there was a large shop in the capital, and I ordered more than 200 bolts of cotton cloth from the villain's house." The businessman continued with a bitter face, "The villain finally finished weaving it by selling pots and iron, and sent it to the capital by boat." Come." As he said, he bowed his hands to the sky, "Catch up with Hongwu Lord's benevolent government, and the business tax along the way is less, and the villain still wants to earn more money, but..."

"But what's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang was in a hurry, "Are you out of breath when you talk like a dog?"

"But when we arrived in the capital, the villain sent the goods to the big shop, but he changed his mind!" The vendor continued with a sad face, "The original price was directly suppressed by [-]%!"

Zhu Xiongying thought about it, and said, "That is to say, if you were supposed to give you ten taels of silver for a piece of cloth, but when you brought the goods over, you were only willing to give you five taels?"

"Young master is wise!" the vendor shouted loudly, "Neighbors in the neighborhood judge and judge, how can there be such a business, and they don't talk about faith at all!"

"Oh, which shop is so unscrupulous?"

"Hey, the Son of Heaven dares to do this, is this Ying Tian Mansion?"

"Isn't this ruining our capital's reputation? Damn it, while making money in the capital, it's ruining our reputation? Which one?"

When the goods arrive, the lower price of the goods is really immoral and has no credibility.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "He repented. If you don't sell him, he will be finished. There are so many shops in the capital, are you afraid that no one will accept your cloth?"

"You always don't know, there are people in that shop, how dare the villain offend you!" The vendor twitched his face and said aggrievedly, "The shopkeeper of that shop said that if he didn't sell them at [-]% of their price They, any shop in the capital will not accept the villain's cloth."

"The villain doesn't believe in evil. After running around the capital for three or four days, no one will accept him. Even if the price is reduced to seven costs, no one will accept him!"

"At this time, the big shop sent someone to spread the word, saying that as long as the villain is flattering, [-]% of all the cloth will be sold to them. Otherwise."

"Otherwise what?" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "Bullying the market, turning against them, and not selling them, what would they dare to do?"

"Otherwise, even if the villain's cloth is given for free in the future, no shop in the capital will accept it! They also said that if the word goes on, the weaving workshop of the villain in his hometown will also close down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious immediately, "Tell us, which shop, let us seek justice for you? Straight mother thief, Japanese aunt, there is no law yet? If you don't buy him at a low price, you can't do business. Your good business is about to close down. Who does he think he is, the emperor?"

"It's not the emperor, but there are people who can see the emperor!" The merchant smiled bitterly, "However, the villain is not made of clay. Clay figurines are still hot, and the villain doesn't believe it. There is no reason for the Ming Dynasty." , the villain is doing business in peace and order, but can he be bullied to death?"

"So, the villain just doesn't buy it!" As he said that, the vendor also scolded, "His grandma's can't make any money anyway, so it's better for me than to coddle half-sell half-sell and half-give it to the big name. Sell ​​it to the neighbors at a low price, earn back the capital, and I will go back to celebrate the New Year. Capital city, never come again!"

"Good boy!" Someone around cheered, "Have ambition!"

"You're right, you can't take advantage of those rich people by feeding dogs. You take advantage of us common people and do good deeds!"

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

A team of official servants came, shaking their heads, "Give way, dodge, wink!"

Hula, the common people fanned away in fear.

The official came over in a show of force, and the leader of the team tilted his head slightly, and angrily shouted at the cloth seller, "Who asked you to sell cloth here?"

The peddler hurriedly said, "My lord, the villain has paid the money for setting up a stall in Yingtian Mansion. This is the receipt."

This has been the case throughout the ages. Anyone who sets up a stall to do business will never fail to pay.

"Go, go!" The official didn't even look at it, "You didn't teach us men!" As he said, he said, "I'll give you half a stick of incense time, take it away quickly, don't let us men suffer! "

"Hey, the villain has paid the money, why can't we do business!" The vendor said loudly, "The villain's sale is not a contraband. It's not a fake. There's no reason why you can't sell it!"

The official said angrily, "If you are not allowed to buy, you will not be allowed to sell!" Then, he grabbed the vendor by the collar, "You are a foreigner, who dares to let you sell in the capital."

There was a crisp sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang rounded his arms, and Guancha sat down on the ground.

The surroundings were suddenly quiet.

With a clatter, the people watching the excitement retreated a lot.

The official guard covered his face in disbelief, then spat out a mouthful of blood, then looked at the teeth knocked out by the slap, "You"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "If we dare to let him sell it, you come and tell us!"
