The clothing shop of the Chu Wangfu is on fire!

First of all, the women of each workshop came to buy in groups, and then merchants with a keen sense of business also began to buy goods, and a large number of woolen threads were purchased and sold to Jiangnan and other places.

The sales network of the Chu Wangfu has not yet been rolled out, and this is still a profitable thing in a short period of time.

Moreover, even if the clothing store expands in the future, it will only set up branches in Luoyang, Taiyuan and other major state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, leaving a broad market space for these merchants.

So for several days in a row, the door of the clothing store was crowded, and later it was even necessary to queue up to enter the store.

This section of the street in the West Market is blocked.

Correspondingly, inside Fan Yang's linen shop, there are many doors.

The fact that linen can survive for thousands of years certainly has its own advantages, but at least in terms of winter clothing, it has no advantages over woolen clothes.

Don't wait for summer to come, don't think about how much better the business of Fan Yang's linen shop is.

And in the summer, the new year's linen is almost on the market.

Since the price was relatively good last year, it is estimated that there will be more sackcloth on the market this year.

In this way, the backlog of inventory in Fan Yang's linen shop will be troublesome, don't drop the price ruthlessly, don't want to sell it.

Buying at a high price and selling at a low price is not the result that Shopkeeper Lu wants.

"Second uncle, I have already contacted the person, it is a ......"

"Needless to say, I just want to know the result, you don't have to tell me the process."

Standing on the second floor of the burlap shop, Shopkeeper Lu looked indifferently at the crowded clothing store opposite.

"Okay! Second uncle, don't worry, even if this matter goes out of the basket, it will definitely not implicate you. ”

Shopkeeper Lu is next to a nephew in his hometown, and Shopkeeper Lu is kind to him, so he gives him some secret things to do from time to time.

This time, since it involved the Chu Palace, Shopkeeper Lu naturally didn't want to end up burning the fire on himself.

Isn't it just for someone to be available at a critical moment?

Besides, this guy is not his own nephew, and he has nothing to be reluctant to.

Even if it's your own nephew, you have to give it up when you should give it.

If you are willing to give up, where will you get without giving up?

"You will go to the account office to receive ten yuan in a while, and leave Chang'an City immediately early tomorrow morning, go back to your hometown for a while, and don't come to Chang'an without my notice."

"Second uncle, don't worry, those people don't know that I am from Fan Yang's linen shop, even if they are arrested, they will not be implicated in the shop. To be on the safe side, I won't wait for tomorrow morning, and I'll just go out of town today without getting dark. ”

……

The Imperial Study.

"What do you say? I don't know if the cost of wool thread is high or low? Li Shimin looked at Li Zhong in surprise, a little unable to believe his ears.

Li Zhong looked at Li Shimin's eyes, and his heart was also full of depression, Baiqi Division really tried his best this time, but he really didn't know the situation.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates specially arranged a team of people in Liangzhou City, and after many inquiries, it is really difficult to judge the cost of wool thread. Normally, there are two most expensive parts of the cost of wool thread, one is the cleaning of wool, and the other is the weaving of wool. ”

Li Zhong quickly explained, "The cleaning of wool requires the use of various secret recipes and special materials, which is similar to the situation of fur, which is one of the important reasons why fur is expensive; In addition, spinning wool into wool thread is something that no one has done before, and it is normally very time-consuming and laborious, but my subordinates heard that there is a machine in the wool workshop of the Chu Wangfu that can quickly spin wool into wool thread. ”

"The Baiqi Division didn't find out that the Chu Wangfu had any special expensive materials to buy in Liangzhou, and the wool they purchased was all one or two pennies a catty, so it was really difficult to judge what the cost of this wool thread was."

In order to complete the task assigned by Li Shimin, Li Zhong also made special efforts to understand some relevant knowledge.

"According to what you said, the wool thread made by that Kuan'er shouldn't be very expensive nine times out of ten?" After listening to Li Zhong's explanation, Li Shimin also had a little bottom in his heart.

"The subordinates' guesses should not be high, and with his subordinates' understanding of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he should not do anything that suffers. Since the clothing shop of the Chu Wangfu dares to sell wool thread for fifteen yuan a catty, it shows that the cost of wool thread is not higher than fifteen yuan. ”

"Fifteen cents a pound is considered very cheap in theory, why can't it be sold?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhong and wanted to know the answer.

When Li Zhong heard Li Shimin's words, he felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to take it.

The last time I reported the wool thread, it was indeed not bought by anyone, and the warehouse of the clothing store in the Chu Wangfu was full of stock.

However, in the past few days, the situation has changed by 180 degrees, and the wool thread is not selling well, where can it not be sold?

"Your Majesty!" Li Zhong looked at Li Shimin cautiously, "It's strange to say, in the first half of the month, the wool thread didn't sell well, but a few days ago, the wool thread suddenly became popular, and the entire Chu Wangfu clothing shop was full of people who bought wool thread, and even the street in front of the door was full of traffic." ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin was stunned, "Wool thread is suddenly selling well?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

Li Zhong was depressed again, the hot sale of this wool thread is a matter of the past few days, and he only received the following report yesterday; Seeing such a big difference in the information before and after, he must verify it again before he dares to report it to Li Shimin.

Who knows......

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are guilty!" Li Zhong knelt down on one knee, lowered his head to face Li Shimin, and at the same time silently muttered in his heart: In the future, all news related to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, no matter how strange it is, must be reported to His Majesty first!

"Forget it this time! In the future, pay more attention to Li Kuan's affairs and give feedback to me in time! ”

……

The night in Chang'an City is not very beautiful, because it is dark, there is basically no light, and you can't see it clearly, how can you say that it is not good-looking?

The clothing shop in the Chu Wangfu is also the same as other shops in the West Market, it becomes dark after nightfall, and the guys who live in the backyard also go to bed early.

In the darkness, two figures quickly climbed over the fence and entered the backyard of the clothing store.

"There are four or five wings on the left, which, according to the news, is supposed to be the warehouse where the wool thread is stored; On the right is the kitchen and some utility rooms. I'll set a fire on the left, and you set a fire on the right, so they don't have the energy to put out the fire in the warehouse. ”

A masked man in a nightcoat whispered to his companion before running to his target, taking out a fire breaker and oil and lighting a fire.

A large amount of honeycomb coal and wood were piled up in the kitchen, and a small pot of fire oil was used to help burn, and the fire soon became bigger; It's a similar story at the warehouse.

Seeing that the fire was rising on both sides, the masked man whistled his companion to quickly climb over the wall and disappear into the night.
