Chapter 158: People Abandon Me to Take Advantage of Heaven
It is as expensive as dung, and as cheap as a pearl.
***
But what does Fang regret mean by the latter sentence? What is he going to sell to himself? What else does the Fang family have that can be worth this million taels? Besides, even if it was worth it, how sure could he be that he would be willing to buy it? It won't be relying on Long Yuan's coercion again.
Fang Cheng motioned to Mo Xiangsi and asked her to take out Fuyunjin's recipe and show it to Li Wanqian.
Li Wanqian took it with both hands, looked at the weaving method of the floating cloud brocade on the square, and was also amazed, it was indeed a hundred times more complicated than the glass brocade, and what he was more concerned about was the dye recipe of the floating cloud brocade.
Fang Cheng let him look at it and said: "There are a few more dyes in Zhongzhou that are difficult to find in the dye recipe of this Yunling country, I have visited the mountains and rivers of Zhongzhou all over the years, and I have finally found a few herbs that can be replaced. Therefore, it has been improved. ”
Li Wanqian looked at the prescription in his hand, but he couldn't put it down, but after observing it twice, he put it down again, and when he raised his eyes to look at Fang Cheng again, he frowned slightly: "This ......"
Fang Cheng smiled and finished what he hadn't finished: "I'm afraid this is not worth a million taels of silver, right?" ”
Li Wanqian smiled faintly, but did not refute.
Fang regretted and said: "Our family promised that after this recipe was transferred to the Li family, the Fang family would not be allowed to touch the glazed brocade and the floating cloud brocade for generations. ”
Li Wanqian was taken aback, Fang regretted that he had put the monopoly of this fabric in his own hands, if this was the case, it might be different.
But Li Wanqian then smiled again and said, "With the three old ladies here, the Fang family wants to weave better silk." It's not impossible. ”
Fang Cheng laughed: "What you said is reasonable, but the embroidery girl of the Fang family is now in your house." You've seen it too, and they still can't even weave this floating cloud brocade. Even if I have a better plan, I'm afraid they won't be able to make it in ten years. And ten years, that's enough. ”
Li Wanqian pondered for a long time, but finally hesitated: "It's just that in this matter, the Li family and the prince have already signed a contract, and this suddenly regrets it......"
Fang Cheng looked at Li Wanqian with a smile, and naturally knew that he had the idea of fighting ten times the liquidated damages, but he and Long Yuan were here. He didn't dare to blatantly tear his face with them, but he just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of them.
Fang regretted and said: "The old man has already said what he wants to say today, if the head of the Li family has other things, you can ask the prince in person." See what kind of answer he will give you. ”
As soon as Li Wanqian heard Fang Cheng's words, he also knew that it was impossible for Fang Cheng to be here, and it was absolutely impossible for Li Wanqian to really dare to go to Long Yuan to ask for money, so this would be the case. I'm afraid this matter has to be decided.
Because after all, now that the money has been in the hands of the Fang family, Li Wanqian will not be able to get Fuyunjin for a day if he does not agree. It's better for the seller to regret his face, so he agreed, and he would meet and talk again in the future.
Li Wanqian hesitated for a moment. Only then did he smile and said: "Where do the grass people dare to disturb the prince, since the old man already has a plan." The junior is naturally respectful and might as well obey his fate. As for the tenfold liquidated damages, it should be a small gift for the younger generation. No more pursuits. ”
Li Wanqian's words are also humble and humble, claiming to be a junior, and pointing out this point quite arrogantly, it is his regression, and he suffers a loss in order to make friends with Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng naturally knew it, so he also smiled and said: "The head of the Li family is a cheerful person, and the old man likes to deal with this kind of person. ”
The two of them said, each took a contract to destroy it, and signed another one, Mo Xiangsi looked at the contract, and knew that this was about what Fang Cheng had prepared when he was in the bamboo forest.
The two intersected and said goodbye. Mo Xiangsi took the new contract and followed Fang Cheng home. In fact, Mo Xiangsi wanted to stay in Biyue Tea House, at least she wanted to go and see the people in Juxian Hall, she hadn't come for so many days, wouldn't they remember herself?
But Mo Xiangsi looked at Fang Cheng's face, but it was not very good, not that it was not angry, but it was slightly tired and pale.
Mo Xiangsi helped Fang Cheng into the carriage, and then hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you, old man?" ”
Fang Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired, I'm old, and I'm useless." ”
Mo Xiangsi deeply felt that Fang Cheng's illness came too suddenly, it was only two months of work, when Mo Xiangsi still remembered that when Mo Xiangli had a difficult birth, he actually saw Fang Cheng planning to bathe in the frozen West Lake, then his body was very good at that time, why did he become like this in a blink of an eye?
"Old man, let's hurry home, I liked Xiao Yanzi at the beginning, and I also raised a few doctors at home, let them show you."
Fang Cheng shook his head and said: "When you are old, there will always be problems with your body, so you don't have to work hard." By the way, girl, a few days ago, I went out, I watched this year's mulberry leaves grow well, and this year's spring silkworms are afraid that they will be harvested. ”
Mo Xiangsi didn't know why Fang Cheng suddenly said this, so he only followed: "If the mulberry leaves are harvested, then this year will not be worthless." ”
Fang Cheng smiled and said, "Not bad." The girl must remember the truth of 'people abandon me and take me, and people take me and '. This year's spring silk, I'm afraid the price will be lower than in previous years, after you take out the Fang family's money from the field, buy more. ”
"The third old lady asked me to stock up on the goods, and then sell them when there is a shortage in the fall?"
Fang Cheng smiled, and said: "This is indeed a long-term way of doing business, 'take the grain when the year is ripe, paint with the silk, cocoon out of the silk wool, and give it food' is like you, buy the lowest price of the grain harvest in the autumn, and sell the silk that was out of stock at that time, and when the silk harvest grain is not available in the spring, harvest the silk, and sell the autumn stockpile." Change and lack of change. This was the method of the ancestors of the Fang family to make a fortune.
But now, we don't have to wait until autumn, you can transfer the Fang family's embroidery girl back from the Li family, the glazed brocade and the cloud brocade or something, we don't have to worry about it. It's just a piece of waste paper, and when the caravan of Yunling Kingdom comes, the price of glazed brocade and floating cloud brocade will plummet, and it will never be as valuable as it is now. ”
Mo Xiangsi also knew that this was Fang regretting that he had bluffed Li Wanqian's one million taels of silver.
Fang Cheng continued: "This silk, taking defective products can allow them to start weaving cotton silk now, and high-quality silk, without any effort, I guarantee that it will sell better than cotton silk in Yunling Country." ”
"Huh? Why? Mo Xiangsi looked at Fang Cheng with puzzlement and joy.
Fang Cheng smiled and said, "Girl, after all, I have lived in Yunling Kingdom for more than thirty years. There are some things that Long Yuan only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, although Yunling Kingdom has the glazed brocade and floating cloud brocade I brought at the beginning, and with the dyes of Yunling Kingdom, the fabric is excellent, and it can even beat Zhongzhou. However, as I said, Yunling Country is short of materials and extremely short of silk! (To be continued......)
