Shuozhou to Chang'an City, now it is considered a convenient transportation.

At least from the perspective of this era, it is definitely convenient to come and go.

The latest newspaper of Chang'an City's "Datang Daily" will appear on the market in Shuozhou in just a few days after printing; Xinhua Bookstore has a new book on the shelves, and it will also appear in the hands of nobles in Shuozhou in a few days.

Similarly, the products of the Shuozhou cotton yarn workshop can be transported back to Chang'an City in a few days.

As an advocate of cotton planting, the Chu Wangfu did not build too large cotton yarn workshops and cotton cloth workshops, but it was just enough to meet the cotton they planted.

Most of the other noble families have built their own related workshops.

The mechanical workshop under the Guanshishan Academy makes a lot of money by selling various equipment.

"Lord, during this time, there are too many cotton yarn and cotton cloth transported from Shuozhou to Chang'an City, and the price of cotton cloth sold in the east and west cities is getting lower and lower day by day. Today's prices are less than half of last year's. ”

Wang Fugui came to the Chu Palace, a little worried, and reported the latest news on the market.

More than one million acres of cotton have been planted in the entire Hedong Province this year, and although the cotton cloth that was originally tall is not as cheap as linen cloth now, the price of silk is gone forever.

"Large-scale cotton cultivation will inevitably reduce the price of cotton cloth. If you want me to say, the current price of cotton cloth is still too high, even if it is cut in half, many people still can't afford it. ”

Cotton cloth is destined to take the road of small profits and quick turnover, otherwise the significance of large-scale promotion of planting is not very large.

Don't look at it now that it has been 15 years since Zhenguan, Datang has been founded for more than 20 years, the national strength is thriving, and the living standards of the people are improving year by year, but there are not many people who can completely eat and wear decent clothes.

Chang'an City may be better, and the living standards of the people in slightly remote state capitals will be much lower.

It is normal for many people to have few new clothes to wear in their lives, and even in winter, they dare not go out.

Li Kuan didn't want to see this kind of situation.

"Lord, if this is the case, wouldn't there be so much profit from planting cotton in Hedong Road? Will it affect everyone's motivation? ”

Wang Fugui is naturally well aware of Li Kuan's determination to promote cotton planting in Hedong Province.

"No, even if the price of cotton cloth is halved, the income from growing cotton will be much higher than that of other grains. In addition, the land in the northern part of Hedong Province is cheap, and the land rewarded by the imperial court is distributed there, but as long as these lands can produce the same income as the land in Chang'an City, no one will give up. ”

Li Kuan's grasp of the mentality of the nobles is quite accurate.

These cotton fields are either rewarded or allocated, and even if they are purchased, the price is very low.

And once these lands become mature, the price per acre will rise rapidly.

Even if it can only rise to half of the price around Chang'an City in the end, it is still a very considerable amount.

Of course, the most important thing is that you can make a lot of money growing cotton here.

Clothing, food, housing and transportation, the clothing industry is just needed.

The whole Datang, and even the whole world, has a demand for cotton cloth.

If done well, Datang's cotton cloth is expected to become the largest export product.

Then maybe in the future, Datang will not be a porcelain country, but a cotton country.

"Lord, then we will follow the trend and reduce the price of cotton cloth."

"Let's drop it, but the price has dropped so much this year, and it is estimated that it will not be able to go down again. You go to Guanshishan Academy Gewu Academy to learn about Xu Jingzong, and see how the things I asked them to develop are doing. If everything is ready, then when the price of cotton has stabilized, you buy a batch back. ”

Li Kuan naturally would not pull the workshop of the Chu Wangfu to the same level as other nobles and fight a price war there.

What others have, I want to be new.

What others don't have, I want to have.

Produced by the Chu Palace, it must be a high-quality product.

Li Kuan didn't want to throw this name on the cotton.

"Lord Wang, if we buy a large amount of cotton cloth, then this price may rebound. The reason why it is going down now is because some people are still waiting for it to continue to drop in price before buying. ”

Wang Fugui deals with business every day, and he still understands some economic laws.

"It doesn't matter, next year we will encourage the nobles to continue to expand the scale of cotton planting, and it is not a bad thing to properly stabilize the price of cotton."

The wool comes from the sheep, and Li Kuan is confident that his cotton cloth will be sold at a high price.

……

Among the Du Mansions, it is more lively today.

Du Wei stayed in Shuozhou for nearly a year, and although he came back a few times during this period, he basically did not go home.

Today, he finally returned to his long-lost home again, and the house was naturally a lot more lively.

"Lang Jun, there will be two or three wagons of cotton cloth from Shuozhou every day in the past few days, and the cotton cloth shop in Xishi is already selling cotton cloth, but the price has been chattering. If you want me to see, do we just sell cotton cloth overseas while other people haven't reacted yet? ”

Li Shuguo can sit firmly in the position of the housekeeper of Du Mansion, and naturally he has a few brushes.

"With so much cotton being shipped back, it was inevitable that the price would fall. However, compared to overseas, I think it can be shipped to Liangzhou, Xiangzhou and other state capitals for sale first, so that it can be sold more quickly. ”

Du Wei has always been worried about going to sea.

Although the Du family is now involved in some maritime trade with the general trend, compared with the Cui family, the Chai family, the Xiao family, the Zheng family and other nobles, it is a small fight.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that although the price of cotton cloth has fallen, it is still higher than his psychological price.

If the cotton cloth really falls below the cost price, maybe he is willing to fight for his subordinates.

"That's a way to do it, too. Although this cotton cloth is not as warm as wool cloth, it is cheaper and more durable, and it should still be very marketable in these places in Liangzhou. ”

Li Shuguo did not insist on his own point of view, and when he saw Du Wei put forward his own plan, he immediately accepted it.

"Move fast! If we can think of it, others will certainly think of it. ”

Du Gou originally thought that the biggest competitor of his cotton cloth was the Chu Palace, but when he really started selling it later, he found that all the heroes and nobles who were rewarded were his competitors.

On the contrary, the Chu Wangfu was tepidly selling cotton there.

"Lang Jun, don't worry, I will personally go to Liangzhou tomorrow to see if I can sell this cotton at a good price!"
