The price of cotton cloth in the west market has slowly stabilized.

Many merchants who saw the benefits of cotton cloth also began to sell cotton cloth to various places.

And a series of cotton clothes pushed out by the ready-to-wear shop of Chu Wangfu have effectively promoted the prosperity of the cotton market.

It feels good and comfortable to wear.

Cotton clothing is not only liked by the people, but also by the nobles.

"Five cents a foot, Your Majesty, the price of cotton cloth on the market has basically been fixed."

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Zhong reported to Li Shimin on the situation of cotton cloth these days.

As a major policy of the imperial court, the promotion of cotton planting in Hedong Province was naturally the focus of Li Shimin's concern.

Now that the cotton has been picked, what we need to care about is the sale of cotton cloth.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, can make so many more fabrics on the market in Datang, Li Shimin is naturally happy.

"This price is fair, as long as twenty or thirty yuan can sit on a new set of clothes, and the quality is much better than linen."

In front of Li Shimin's desk were a few pieces of silk, linen, cotton and wool cloth, feeling the difference between them.

The price of cotton is not the cheapest, and the breathability is not the best, but the overall performance is the undisputed first.

Especially when it comes to intimate clothing, even silk can't be compared.

Sometimes, it's not always the case that the more expensive the product, the better.

"Yes, ordinary people want to buy cotton cloth, of course, there is some pressure. But like the craftsmen in the workshops in Chang'an City, the cotton clothes on the ship, there is no difficulty at all. This cotton cloth is more durable and wear-resistant than linen, and the warmth effect is much better, and this winter, the people are blessed. ”

Li Zhong did not let his family buy land in Shuozhou to grow cotton this year, and now he feels the huge benefits and benefits brought by cotton, and he can't help but regret it a little.

In Chang'an City, there are many people with similar ideas.

Therefore, in the past few days, many noble families have sent their children to Shuozhou in order to plant cotton next year.

"The grain production has increased, the cloth production has also increased, coupled with the introduction of caesarean section surgery, and the establishment of the Affiliated Medical Center of Guanshishan Academy Medical College, the population of Datang should increase a lot this year, right?"

Population is wealth.

In this era, the population of a county is often an important reference factor to measure whether the county is an upper or lower county.

In previous years, if the population had increased, people would have to worry about the lack of land, food, and other problems.

However, in today's Chang'an City, absolutely no one will have such worries.

In particular, with the continuous establishment of various workshops, the demand for manpower is constantly rising.

Even the price of slaves transported from the steppe has risen by 30%.

This further stimulated the Chun Yu family in Dengzhou, and the slave catching team of Dafei in Liangzhou to increase the frequency of activities.

"The other state capitals are not very clear, but in the case of Chang'an County, the population has increased by more than 10% this year."

"Good! After so many years on the throne, I can finally live a comfortable life. ”

Li Shimin put down the cotton in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

However, the confinement bends to Kyushu, and a few families are happy and a few are sad.

Just when Li Shimin was talking happily in the Xuanzheng Palace, the shopkeeper of Fan Yang's Lu family's linen shop had a sad face.

"Shopkeeper Lu, it's not that the guys don't work hard, it's really that if the price of our linen cloth is not reduced, it will be almost the same price as cotton. Those people are not stupid, there was no cotton cloth before, and linen cloth was the cheapest, so naturally they had to sell it if they didn't buy it. Now that there is cotton cloth that is not much different in price, but it is obviously superior in every aspect, who will come to buy linen? ”

"The linen cloth in our shop was not very profitable in the first place. At the beginning, due to the influence of wool thread and wool cloth, the price has been reduced once. Now that it continues to decline, should our shop continue to operate? The key is that the people's demand for linen cloth is low, and even if the price drops, it may not be able to sell well. ”

Shopkeeper Lu's mind is still clear.

However, when this kind of thing happens, he [5200 www.bqg5200.biz] doesn't know how to solve it.

This was true of woolen thread in the past, and it is also true of linen cloth today.

His own shop is really in conflict with the Chu Wangfu.

"Shopkeeper Lu, if we are willing to reduce the price, in fact...... In fact, it is still sold. ”

The guy struggled for a moment, but he still said this.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

Shopkeeper Lu was naturally not stupid, and he heard the meaning of the guy's words.

"In the past few days, some merchants have come to ask us about linen, and the amount of linen they want is very huge, but the price is relatively low. And, he said, if we're willing to sell twine, then as much as they want, provided that the price drops. ”

As the largest linen shop in Chang'an City and even in the Tang Dynasty, Fanyang Lu's family has its own special linen workshop, and naturally there is also a special twine workshop.

Moreover, the output of this hemp has a time range, and it is not available all year round.

Therefore, in the warehouse of the Lujia linen shop in Fanyang, a large amount of twine was hoarded.

If you don't make any changes and continue to develop according to the current trend, these goods in the warehouse will have no chance to turn into linen.

If you can't sell it, what are you doing when you produce it?

"How many or how much? Who has such a big mouth? ”

Shopkeeper Lu's face showed an expression of disbelief.

In his eyes, these twines basically have no other purpose than making linen.

Now that someone has come to purchase twine, could it be that they are confident that they can weave a better linen than the one produced by the Lu family?

Or is the cost of the linen they weave much lower than their own?

Either way, Shopkeeper Lu didn't believe it.

"It's really as much as you want. Although I don't know this person, I inquired about it and heard that he was working behind the king's shopkeeper in the Chu Palace. ”

"Wang Fugui? Why does the Chu Wangfu want to buy so much twine? ”

Shopkeeper Lu showed a puzzled expression.

The cotton cloth thing was made by the Chu Wangfu.

Now that the cotton cloth is really good to sell, the Chu Wangfu actually arranged for someone to come to him to buy twine.

I can't understand this operation!

"The subordinates are not very clear. It stands to reason that the linen cloth in our shop is the best in the whole Datang Textile, they buy hemp from us, and the woven linen cloth cannot be better than us, nor can the price be lower than ours, unless they don't want to make money. ”

"A few more days. If the situation can get better after the price of other linen shops is reduced, then there is no need for us to sell cotton thread to the Chu Palace. Anyway, it's all about price reduction, why do we want to reduce the Chu Wangfu? But if the situation is still not good, then sell all the twine. ”

Shopkeeper Lu thought for a moment and finally made a decision.
