The fire in the clothing shop of the Chu Wangfu did not cause much of a sensation, but was suppressed intentionally or unintentionally.

It's just that after a few days of closure, the clothing store reopens, as if nothing had happened.

"The Chu Wangfu transported wool thread from Liangzhou so quickly? Impossible! Or is it just in time for a new wool thread to arrive? ”

Shopkeeper Lu stood at the door of his shop, looking at the other side with a gloomy face.

He witnessed the fire that day, and he also heard the firefighters talk about the fire, and it was obvious that the warehouse was burned down.

In the past few days, I haven't seen a large number of woolen threads transported into the clothing store, where did they get the goods?

I can't figure it out!

"The shopkeeper, several other small shops in the West Market are selling linen cloth at a reduced price, and in just a few days, the price of linen cloth has fallen by three percent. If we go any further, we'll lose money soon......"

The bookkeeper in the shop cautiously came to the shopkeeper Lu and reported the situation in the shop.

Shopkeeper Lu was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, "Reduce the price, we will also directly reduce the price by 30%, and if you buy more, you will get an additional nine-percent discount." ”

It is obviously impossible to sell at a high price, and Shopkeeper Lu can climb from a young man to his current position, and he naturally has the ability to know what to do at this time.

When it's time to cut the meat, you have to cut it, otherwise when the new linen cloth comes on the market, the loss will be even greater.

……

Liangzhou City has been much more lively recently, especially after the weather has warmed up and the snow on the grassland has begun to melt.

"Lang Jun, these wool are all sent to the market by the herdsmen themselves, because there are more people buying wool recently, and the price in the market is higher than the unified purchase price of the Northwest Trade, and some new herdsmen sell it here."

A personable boy with a few followers wandering around the bazaar.

"My father asked me to come to Liangzhou this time to be in charge of wool procurement, and we must not buy it more expensive than the Northwest Trade."

"If that's the case, we'd better go directly to the grasslands, trade with the tribal leaders, and exchange some of the goods they desperately need, which is the most cost-effective."

"This option could be considered. That Li Kuan, first made honeycomb coal, which made our Nanshan charcoal shop miserable, and then ruined the reputation of the Cui family's fat powder shop behind the scenes, this time he made wool thread, and we have to make him uncomfortable for a while. ”

The boy who spoke was Cui Qing from Chang'an City.

Although Cui Qing is not the son-in-law of the Cui family, as the eldest son of the head of the family, his ability is still recognized.

So even though the charcoal and fat powder business in Chang'an City, which he was responsible for, suffered setbacks one after another, the Cui family did not give up on him.

Recently, everyone has seen how popular the wool thread made by the Chu Wangfu is.

The common people may just follow the trend to buy a few catties of wool, and the nobles will see it more far-reaching.

Clothing, food, housing and transportation, many of the things in it have been formed for hundreds of thousands of years, and now a wool product has suddenly appeared, completely subverting the situation of the "clothing" industry.

Now what we see is only woolen thread and woolen clothing, which has already brought a great impact on linen and fur; It can be expected that there will be other wool products such as wool cloth in the future, and the impact on the "clothing" industry will be even greater.

In this era, although it is said that there are three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion.

But there are not many industries that make money, and they are basically divided up by various families, and being able to have something new will naturally cause many people to covet it.

According to the news that Cui Qing knew, the Taiyuan Wang family, the Fanyang Lu family, and the Qinghe Zheng family all arranged for their children to go to Liangzhou or Youzhou and other frontier towns close to the grassland, in order to get wool.

turned an originally useless wool into a sought-after material that everyone scrambled for, to a certain extent, Cui Qing still admired Li Kuan a little

However, admiration is admiration, which does not affect him to exert twelve points of strength to make a big stumbling block for the Chu Wangfu in the wool purchase.

After all, in public and private, he and the Chu Wangfu can be regarded as a big bond.

"The wool that the Chu Wangfu is buying now mainly comes from Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs, in fact, the largest influence on the steppe now is the Western Turks, if we can buy wool from them, we can definitely get a cheaper price."

The people who followed Cui Qing to Liangzhou are all old men of the family, and there is nothing to say about some taboo words.

Anyway, for these families, they all have a family first, and then think about the affairs of the country.

"You can do it, but you can't put it on the table. You go and find a middleman, through whom we will buy the wool of the Western Turks. ”

Cui Qing still has some political consciousness, and now that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is thriving, it is better not to do things that violate the ban in such a high-profile manner.

"Lang Jun, don't worry, the family already has some partners in the northwest, and I will contact them in the next few days."

……

Li Kuan left Liangzhou City in a low-key manner.

There are northwest trade and wool workshops in Liangzhou, which is basically enough in a short time.

Later, the British made a loaf movement because of wool, and the impact was earth-shaking.

The grassland is very large, and Li Kuan is not worried about the situation that should be in the future generations, but the herdsmen have slowly become raising sheep around Liangzhou City, which is basically expected.

Later, with some other measures, the vast grassland will be controlled step by step in the hands of Datang.

"Lord, there is Chang'an City in front, Your Majesty has an edict before, asking the prince to go to the palace to meet him as soon as he returns to Beijing."

Since Lan He received Li Shimin's will, he rushed all the way to Liangzhou, and he was relieved to see that he was finally about to make a deal.

He knew about the fire in the clothing shop of the Chu Palace, and he also guessed that Li Kuan should have also received the news, and he was really afraid that Li Kuan would do something after returning to Chang'an.

The hands of the four evils of Chang'an City, Li Kuan's reputation back then was not something that could be washed away in a day or two.

"Father-in-law Lan, the prince rushed back to Beijing, should you go to the palace to wash up first, and then go to the palace tomorrow to meet you?" Chu Suiliang, as the chief secretary of the Chu Palace, naturally wanted to stand up and speak for Li Kuan at this moment.

After all, there are some words that Li Kuan himself said are not appropriate, and it is easy for people to criticize.

Lan He looked at Li Kuan with an embarrassed expression, "Lord Wang......"

"Forget it, you go back to the palace first, and this king and Gonggong Lan will go to see Your Majesty."

Although Li Kuan didn't know what Li Shimin was doing in a hurry to find himself, he didn't have anything to worry about.

Anyway, I went to Liangzhou this time, and I made a great contribution.
