As a workshop in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, Xinghuafang is mostly occupied by some people who work as helpers in various workshops.

These people are not wealthy, but they are not enough to eat the last meal and not the next, and they can barely be regarded as the pseudo-middle class of the Tang Dynasty.

This winter is so cold, the price of linen has risen again and again, and many families are reluctant to add new clothes.

"Lady Wang, is this woolen sweater really knitted by your own hands?"

"It seems to be very warm to dress, I heard that there are woolen clothes sold in the West Market, and the sales are not cheap, so I didn't dare to go in and try it when I went to the West Market several times."

"Is this woolen sweater really only two catties of woolen thread? Is it troublesome to weave? ”

Several women from Xinghua Workshop chattered around the most famous matchmaker in the workshop.

Today is the day when the woolen sweater woven by the princess herself is completed.

These days, the princess always carries a roll of woolen thread, weaving a woolen coat, and goes to various houses at the same time.

So throughout Xinghuafang, most people know that she is using wool thread to knit sweaters.

And there are quite a few people who try on the woolen sweater on her.

Warm is warm, but I don't know how to weave, I don't know if it's really simple, so these days, there are almost no people who really go to buy wool thread.

Although the wool thread is not expensive, for ordinary people, the expenditure of dozens of dollars should be cautious.

If you buy it back and won't use it, it's a waste.

This is also why so many women will come to understand the situation when Wang Po is completed today.

It's cold, and everyone wants cheap and warm clothes to wear!

If you can learn to knit a sweater yourself, then you can also buy a few catties and come back and try to knit one first.

"Hey, how do you want me to say hello to you. Haven't I been teaching you how to knit sweaters these days? I went to Zhang's house to Zhao's house, but few people really started to learn from me. Are you in a hurry now? Wang Po hated iron and steel, "Forget it, I'm a good person to the end, you can see clearly, this knitting sweater is actually very simple, just look at it a few times, and then actually operate it a few times, and you will learn ......"

With ready-made examples, and experiencing the warmth of woolen clothes, coupled with the right price, many women are finally tempted.

"Lady Wang, I heard that this wool thread is now with a 20% discount, right?"

"Hey, there is, but people have also said that there is a discount in the first month of opening. It's been more than ten days now, and it's too late! ”

"Huh? So what are you waiting for, hurry up and buy it. ”

"Yes, let's buy it together, I heard that there are discounts for buying more at one time!"

……

Tai Chi Palace.

"Are you saying that Kuan'er has hundreds of thousands of catties of wool thread in his hands, and no one buys it?"

The movement of the Chu Wangfu in Chang'an City, Li Shimin naturally heard about it.

Li Zhong: "Your Majesty, it is true, according to the investigation of his subordinates, although the wool thread has attracted a lot of attention among the people of Chang'an City, no one has bought it. ”

"How so? I have been wearing woolen clothes all this time, and it is obviously very warm, why don't the people buy it when it is so cold. Li Shimin frowned, "Could it be that the son of a sells wool thread very expensive?" ”

Without waiting for Li Zhong to speak, Li Shimin continued to say to himself, "It must be so." This Li Kuan, don't you know how to share a little trouble for me, what's the use of earning so much money, he is a prince, will he be short of money? ”

"Your Majesty......" Li Zhong didn't know whether to continue or not.

"If you have something, say it quickly!"

"That wool thread, according to the investigation of his subordinates, is actually not expensive at all. On the contrary, the wool thread of the Chu Wangfu is actually sold very cheaply, and it is even likely to be at a loss. ”

"Loss?"

Li Shimin felt that he couldn't understand the situation even more, it was cheap and warm, and no one bought it.

Could it be that I have been in the palace for too long and don't understand the world?

"There are still a lot of fur traders in Chang'an City, and they know a little bit about how to clean wool and how to make wool thread. But according to their estimates, this wool thread has to be sold for at least 100 yuan a pound to make money! ”

Although Datang has the technology of tanning animal fur, it is still a relatively primitive stage, and the raw materials used are also very expensive, so the price of fur has been high.

Even if it is a fox fur, it can be sold for at least a few times, and it is not surprising that the high-quality ones can be sold for dozens or even hundreds.

It's not for the average person.

"Didn't I tell you to send someone to Liangzhou to investigate? Is there a result? ”

"Your Majesty, not yet, but if you calculate the time, it should be soon."

"Forget it, the coldest time has already passed, so it's good to let Kuan'er suffer a loss, he doesn't know how thick the sky is all day long!"

……

West City Fan Yang linen shop.

"Got it figured out? What the hell is going on? Less linen was sold yesterday than the day before yesterday, not to mention fur. Shopkeeper Lu spewed anger in his eyes and lost his temper at a group of guys in the store.

"I asked a few customers who had entered the shop but didn't buy anything to find out why, and they said it was ...... He said that he was considering whether to buy linen or wool thread. ”

"I have a regular customer, and it's the same thing, woolen clothes are a bit expensive now, but woolen threads are very cheap, and she's learning to knit sweaters."

"Shopkeeper, the price of linen in some shops in the West Market has been lowered, and the sales are a little better, should we follow up?"

A few guys are always facing the angry shopkeeper Lu these days, so naturally they have to make some preparations in advance.

"Where's the clothing store across the street? Isn't there anyone paying attention to the situation on the other side? ”

"Shopkeeper Lu, the shop opposite, although the number of people entering the store is increasing, but there are not many people who actually buy it, and the things sold every day are not as many as our shop."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Lu's heart was finally a little more comfortable.

If the common people don't buy linen because they buy wool thread, it will be troublesome.

However, he also worries that if he waits any longer, this may not be the case.

"Hmph, the Chu Wangfu is doing things that harm others and themselves, others are afraid of him, but we are not afraid. The culprits of our shop's situation today are them. ”

Shopkeeper Lu has made a decision in his heart, and is ready to give the clothing shop of the Chu Wangfu a ruthless move to completely solve the situation in front of him.

The status of the Lu family in the Tang Dynasty is transcendent, even if it is a prince, they are not afraid.

Especially when this prince threatens their interests, all the laws of the Tang Dynasty are false.

"Shopkeeper, isn't the second master serving in the Ministry of Rites, do you want to talk to the owner and let the second master make some trips for the King of Chu in the court?" A guy who had followed Lu's shopkeeper for many years whispered.

"Be careful! I have my own opinions! ”
