Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Vol 2 Chapter 963: undercurrent!

"Lady, what did father confess?"

After listening to his wife's serious words, Li Zexuan asked aloud.

Han Yuxi pursed her lips, and whispered softly: "Msang-gong, in the afternoon, let the concubine tell you that letting the people grow vegetables in greenhouses is a kind deed, but Msang-gong should consider things more carefully, such as the tarpaulin that is necessary to build a greenhouse. There are thousands of people in the fief, even if only 50% of the people are willing to build greenhouses and grow vegetables, the coarse cloth needed is a considerable number.

When the time comes, the unscrupulous cloth merchants in Chang'an City will see business opportunities and will definitely wait for the opportunity to increase prices. Although Xianggong has given the people the opportunity to borrow 500 cents of interest-free loans per household, who knows what the price of the coarse cloth is? Maybe five hundred yuan is not enough to build a greenhouse! "

With Han Yuxi's narration and analysis, Li Zexuan's brows gradually frowned.

When Han Yuxi saw this, he said again: "But you don’t have to worry about your husband. Dad has notified the shopkeeper Sun of our ready-to-wear shop and asked him to prepare a batch of coarse cloth supplies in case of emergencies. I think it can alleviate a lot of the tension of Changan coarse cloth in short supply. !"

Li Zexuan couldn't help sighing: "My father is still thinking about it. For my husband, I almost ignored this. Before lending money to the dealers, not only let them buy the greenhouse, but also the seeds need money! If the price of Chang'an cloth soars, even if If the people have enough money for cloth, they may not be able to buy seeds."

Han Yuxi saw a little disappointment on Li Zexuan's face, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Miangong, you are also doing this kind of thing for the first time. How can you be considerate and considerate? A wise man must have a loss too!"

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Hehe, madam, you don’t have to comfort me, because your husband is not that fragile! In fact, with the network of shopkeeper Sun, you may not be able to gather so many coarse cloths in a short period of time. You have to rely on the Chamber of Commerce! Madam, you should be busy first and make arrangements for your husband!"

"Well, Xiang Gong, go ahead~!"

………………………………………

Li Zexuan came to the front yard, found Wang Zhong, and asked him to send someone to invite someone over.

About half an hour later, when the sun was about to set, an old man in costume came to Li's house. The Sambo, who had been waiting in front of the mansion door, hurried up to greet him, "Boss Cao, my master Hou is waiting for you in the front hall!"

That's right, this old man in Chinese clothes is Cao Wendong, the largest silk merchant and cloth merchant in Chang'an City, and the third largest shareholder of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce.

"You Lao Lead the Way!"

Cao Wendong arched his hands politely and said.

Under the leadership of Sanbao, Cao Wendong came to the front lobby of the Li Mansion, and when he saw Li Zexuan sitting upright, he quickly bowed his hands and said, "Cao has seen Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan waved his hand: "Don't be polite!"

Then he didn't even have any polite greetings, and went straight to the topic: "Boss Cao, there is something that needs your help when I am looking for you today, I hope it doesn't bother you!"

Cao Wendong shook his head and said, "No, no! Cao has nothing to do at home, so how can I bother you? Hou Ye, if you have anything to do, please tell me!"

He was so polite, Li Zexuan was a little embarrassed to come here. He would pick others out whenever he needed help, and put them aside when nothing happened. It seemed unethical no matter what!

In fact, this is purely because he thinks too much. His thinking is still based on the modern worldliness, but he has forgotten that he was in ancient times, in this era of high-ranking scholars, farmers, commerce, and industry. If he didn't do this, Cao Wendong would be surprised. !

"That's it! The people in Hou Village, Japan, want to buy a large number of coarse cloths, the quantity is large, but the remaining money is limited, so Ben Hou intends to ask Boss Cao to help transport a batch of coarse cloths from other places. Prevent other cloth merchants in Changan City from taking the opportunity to increase prices!"

Li Zexuan asked Cao Wendong to pour a cup of tea, and then said.

Cao Wendong heard this, although he was wondering why the dealers on Li Zexuan Zhuangzi needed a lot of coarse cloth, but he did not ask the question in his heart. He experienced all kinds of human feelings and sophistication, knowing that there are things that he shouldn't ask, so he must not ask.

"Master Hou, how much coarse cloth you need Cao to prepare?"

Cao Wendong pondered for a moment and asked.

Li Zexuan summed it up a bit, and stretched out five fingers and said, "Five thousand horses! And it's all white cloth. If it can't be sold out at that time, Ben Hou is willing to buy it all at the market price!"

If every household under his hand is willing to build a greenhouse, the coarse cloth needed is at least 100,000 horses, and this does not take into account the situation of multiple greenhouses like Lao Hu.

The reason why Cao Wendong was only asked to prepare 50,000 horses was mainly because it was impossible for every household in the eight Zhuangzi to be willing to build a greenhouse, and that there was still a considerable amount of coarse cloth inventory in the existing stock market in Chang'an. Cao Wendong prepared 50,000 horses. , Enough to be able to control the price of coarse cloth in the entire Chang'an City.

Cao Wendong was surprised secretly. He didn't expect that Li Zexuan would need so much cloth in one mouth. He said in his heart that he was not curious. It was false, but Li Zexuan did not take the initiative to say this kind of question. He would not, nor could he take the initiative to ask. ~www.ltnovel.com~ Lord Hou can rest assured that in one day, Cao can definitely raise 50,000 pieces of coarse cloth! If you can't sell it for a while, you don't need to pay for it. Cao naturally has channels to sell it to other states and counties! "

Cao Wendong smiled confidently and said.

The reason why he can become the largest cloth merchant in Chang'an City is relying on a wide and high-quality purchase channel. These requirements of Li Zexuan may be a bit difficult for others, but for him, there is really no difficulty, just You need to move your lips!

"Okay! Then Benhou will no longer be reluctant, there will be a boss!"

Li Zexuan got up and arched his hands.

Cao Wendong quickly stood up wittily and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, if Lord Hou is fine, then Cao will go back and make arrangements!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Boss Cao, go slowly!"

……………………………

On the second day, the cloth merchants in Chang'an City welcomed a large number of "special" customers. The reason they were called special was that these people would only come to buy two coarse cloths only a few days before the Chinese New Year. In more than a month, these people came in groups. Not only did they come, but what was even more strange was that these people were buying cloth directly on the car. The degree of madness made many cloth merchants secretly stunned.

Ask these people why they want to buy so much coarse cloth at once, but most of them are vague, or because the reason is very strange, obviously deliberately deceiving people. This kind of weird image makes the businessmen very puzzling.

Some cloth merchants saw business opportunities, and on the one hand they raised their prices slightly, on the other hand they urgently mobilized coarse cloth from other places. Although this thing is less profitable than silk and fine silk, it can’t rely on the large quantity!

An undercurrent of price increases is rapidly brewing!
