Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Li Yuan had just entered the courtyard.

He saw Boss Qiao pacing back and forth in the yard, a look of worry on his face.

He sighed from time to time.

Li Yuan walked over and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Boss Qiao, what happened?"

Boss Qiao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that it was Li Yuan.

He sighed and said.

"Alas, I've made Lang Jun laugh."

"Business has been a bit off these past few days."

Li Yuan asked curiously.

"What exactly happened? Is it convenient for you to tell me about it?"

Boss Qiao shook his head and said.

"There's nothing worth hiding."

"These days, the price of linen in the city has skyrocketed."

"Many old customers were afraid of the price increase, so they paid a deposit in advance and booked the goods."

"I didn't notice for a moment, so I accepted their deposit and scheduled delivery today."

"Unexpectedly, yesterday, the officials of the yamen were eager to raise the annual tribute."

"They collected linen from every cloth shop."

"The linen in my shop was taken away by the yamen."

"Those customers, seeing that I had no linen, all came to my shop to make trouble."

Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and he asked with some doubt.

"Then why not return their deposit?"

Boss Qiao shook his head with a worried expression.

"Alas, it's not that simple."

"When they paid the deposit, a bolt of linen was only 700 coins."

"But now, a bolt of linen has risen to 1000 coins."

"They only want linen, not the deposit I return."

"The purpose of these people is already obvious. They see that the linen business is good now."

"They want to monopolize the linen business and deliberately find someone to bring down my shop."

Li Yuan understood what Qiao Huaishan was talking about.

The business world is like a battlefield.

This Boss Qiao probably has some hidden information that he didn't say.

It is estimated that someone has taken a fancy to the Qiao family's cloth shop.

Deliberately set up a trap to lure this Boss Qiao into the game.

So that he loses his reputation in the business world and withdraws from the cloth business.

Li Yuan thought for a moment.

He had a good impression of this Boss Qiao.

This person is grateful and reciprocates.

Li Yuan felt that he could give him a hand.

"Boss Qiao, how many bolts of linen do you need to get through the current crisis?"

Suddenly, Boss Qiao's happy expression gradually faded.

"Alas, I was too happy."

"Lang Jun's workshop has only been open for more than ten days, and I guess there are not many skilled weavers."

"Even if there is some linen, I'm afraid it's not much."

"Well, even if Lang Jun can give me twenty or thirty bolts of cloth, it will give me a breather."

Li Yuan decided to tease him and shook his head without answering.

"What, not even twenty or thirty bolts?"

"Then ten bolts, or even seven or eight bolts, would be good. Give me as much as you have."

"I am willing to give Li Lang a price of 1000 coins per bolt of linen, what do you think!"

Li Yuan smiled,

"1000 coins per bolt, wouldn't that mean Boss Qiao has no profit?"

Boss Qiao shook his head and said.

"I can't care about that much now."

"This is not the time to care about profit, but to get through this crisis."

"The key is to keep the reputation of my Qiao family first."

Li Yuan nodded, feeling that this Boss Qiao was indeed good.

A person who values reputation and fame is worth helping.

Li Yuan smiled and said to Qiao Huaishan.

"Boss Qiao, don't worry."

"I brought a hundred bolts of fine linen this time, enough to solve the Qiao family's worries."

"How... how much?"

Qiao Huaishan looked at Li Yuan in disbelief.

"...A hundred bolts?"

Li Yuan smiled slightly.

"That's right, Boss Qiao can come with me to inspect the goods."

Before long, a carriage entered the Qiao residence through the back door.

Hundreds of bolts of brand new linen were unloaded from the car.

Piled high on the steps in front of the door.

Qiao Huaishan trembled with joy.

He hurried over, picked up a bolt of linen and examined it carefully.

He rubbed the feel of the fabric bit by bit, carefully observing the texture of the linen.

His eyes became brighter and brighter. The fabric of this linen was very fine and tight.

It felt smooth and was much better than ordinary linen on the market.

Qiao Huaishan was a little unbelievable, turned to look at Li Yuan, his eyes full of doubt.

He had been running cloth shops and workshops for a long time and had a lot of experience. How could this newly opened workshop have such craftsmanship.

He randomly pulled out another bolt from a stack of linen and examined it more carefully.

This bolt was almost exactly the same quality as the previous one, and it was also fine and tightly woven.

Qiao Huaishan took out a few more bolts to check, and each bolt was like this.

It was not until this time that the Boss Qiao was completely relieved.

He turned his head and looked at Li Yuan and said.

"Li Lang, I want all these linens, 1000 coins per bolt!"

Li Yuan originally wanted to trade at the previously agreed price of 500 coins per bolt.

But Qiao Huaishan insisted on 1000 coins per bolt.

He said sincerely.

"This time, Li Lang saved my cloth shop."

"1000 coins per bolt is my way of thanking Li Lang, please don't refuse."

Seeing Boss Qiao's sincerity, Li Yuan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

In the end, these hundred bolts of linen were exchanged for 100 strings of copper coins in the Qiao family.

Qiao Huaishan got a hundred bolts of fine linen and successfully sent away the city rats and village dogs who surrounded the shop.

Successfully preserved the business of his shop.

Li Yuan saw that the Qiao family's affairs were resolved and was about to leave.

But Qiao Huaishan seemed to have remembered something.

He quickly grabbed Li Yuan's hand and found a place with few people and said in a low voice.

"Lang Jun, in fact, I have also heard a piece of news these days, which is related to you."

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed and he asked Qiao Huaishan.

"Oh? What is it?"

Qiao Huaishan wiped his sweat and said.

"Last time, I encountered a robber on the road, and I was rescued thanks to Li Lang's help."

"And also killed the bandit leader Fu Caoshe."

Li Yuan nodded to indicate to continue.

"The government got the corpses of several bandits. In order to deter the bandits, the next day, Fu Caoshe's corpse was hung outside the east gate."

"Saying that it was to deter the large and small bandits, so that they know the power of the government."

"But something went wrong."

"That night, the yamen servant guarding the corpse was killed, and the corpse was also taken away."

"Moreover, it is rumored that the person who took the corpse also left a message."

"To find the person who killed Fu Caoshe to take revenge."

"Li Lang Jun sent the corpse to the yamen that day, and many people saw it."

"And you also showed the military household waist card."

"It is not too difficult for those bandits to find Li Lang Jun."

"So be careful."

Li Yuan frowned when he heard this and asked.

"Does Boss Qiao know who took Fu Caoshe's body away?"

Qiao Huaishan lowered his head and said in an even lower voice.

"I sent someone to inquire about it."

"It is said to be the Duwei Lang gang on Laohei Mountain."

"This group of bandits has hundreds of people, usually robbing homes and houses and harming the countryside, and they are very brutal."

"Li Lang, you must be very careful."
