When a large number of Tang Dynasty imperial historians left with the envoys of the Western Regions, the news that the Tang Dynasty was about to open the supervision of Guan City instantly spread throughout Chang'an City, and spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty at a rapid speed.

Countless merchants in Chang'an City suddenly became a sensation, one by one ecstatic, and gathered together to discuss, and the reopening of the city soon became the second hot topic in Chang'an City after the military parade.

"I think that Pei Ju opened the prison in Zhangye, and the entire Western Regions Hu merchants came when they heard the news, and my Tang merchants were not far behind, gathered in Zhangye, and the price of silk rose by three percent overnight, and in a few years, Zhangye became an important town in the northwest, and the previous dynasty was very profitable." An old shopkeeper said with a nostalgic face, those years were simply a feast for businessmen, as long as they were businessmen who went to Zhangye, whether it was a Tang merchant or a Hu businessman, they were all dissatisfied and returned, and many famous merchants in Chang'an City were mostly developed and grown during that period.

However, the time of this kind of profiteering was too short, after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Silk Road was blocked again, and Zhangye's status suddenly plummeted, and soon declined, and it will never be the same prosperity again.

"It is said that this time it is not just a city to open a city, but a city adjacent to various countries will have a city of supervision and knowledge, and the scale of the city is several times that of the previous dynasty." A well-informed middle-aged businessman exclaimed.

"Your Majesty is generous!" Everyone suddenly sighed that once the city of many supervisors was opened, a feast of wealth was about to begin, and the spring of the Tang Dynasty merchants was coming.

In an instant, the entire Chang'an City workshops immediately expanded production, and prepared for the reopening of Jianzhiguan City, and the industrial corridor from Southwest Industrial Zone and Mojia Village to Chang'an City was sleepless all night, working overtime to prepare materials.

With the continuous spread of news, the Datang silk system has gradually spread, and when everyone gradually understands the benefits of the Datang silk system, they can't help but be amazed by the wisdom of Merton.

However, it is a great benefit to other merchants, and they are excited, but for silk merchants, it is an empty joy, they originally thought that after the Silk Road is unblocked, silk will definitely double in value, but who would have thought that in the Jianzhi Guanshi, only the silk of the Weaving Bureau is allowed to circulate, and the silk of other origins cannot be sold at all.

"Master Wei, you have to make decisions for us!" In the Wei family in the south of the city, a group of silk merchants gathered, one by one, full of righteous indignation.

The Wei family in the south of the city is the largest cloth merchant in Chang'an City, mainly engaged in silk, and has a relationship with the court, and now the Tang Dynasty silk system is announced, but the silk merchants are excluded, so how can they be willing.

"The Mo family is really too deceitful!" The head of the Wei family said indignantly, although the Tang silk system benefited the Tang court, but it was proposed by the Mo family, and the head of the Wei family naturally did not dare to vent his grievances on the court, so he could only target his grievances at Merton.

"Master Wei, you have a relationship in the imperial court, can you let the imperial court be accommodating."

"That is, since ancient times, officials have not competed with the people for profit, and I am afraid that this move of the imperial court is inappropriate!"

"In this way, I am afraid that we will lose a lot!"

……………………

A group of silk merchants prayed.

Everyone knows that once the Datang silk system is implemented, the sales of silk will definitely rise, which is beneficial to these silk merchants on the surface, but now the imperial court stipulates that the supervision of the customs market can only sell the silk of the weaving bureau, and the rise is probably only raw silk, and the benefit is the silk farmers, and these silk merchants have increased the cost in disguise.

That is to say, the merchants of the whole country have benefited from the Tang silk system, but they are the only ones who are empty and happy, not only have they benefited, but their profits have been damaged.

The Wei family owner naturally has more news than others, and he naturally knows that the Datang silk system not only wants to let Datang obtain more rights and interests in silk, but more importantly, it wants to pave the way for the upcoming cotton era, so as to reduce the losses of Sannong.

Of course, it is impossible for the Wei family master to help Mo Dun speak, but he fell into the well and said: "This matter has been passed in the three provinces and six departments, what can the old man do, and as far as I know, the Mo family's intentions are even more sinister, not only will we be excluded from the Tang silk system, but also secretly cultivate the Western Regions Bai Diezi, and now it has been successfully cultivated, or in a few years, Mojia Village will unify the Tang Dynasty cloth, and in time, there will be no place for my Tang silk merchants." ”

"White Stacks!"

A group of silk merchants were suddenly surprised, in the market of the Tang Dynasty, the price of white stacks is not inferior to silk, and everyone naturally knows its value.

At the grand event in the Western Regions, Merton's heavy reward for cotton seeds was well known to the world, and they naturally heard about it, but no one expected that Mojia Village would have results so quickly.

As for whether cotton is beneficial to the country and the people, they don't care, but Merton's move has really further compressed the profit margins of silk merchants, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, how can these silk merchants not hate Merton in their hearts.

"Mo Jiazi!" The silk merchants almost all gritted their teeth and said hatefully.

The head of the Wei family snorted coldly in his heart, since the Mo family has damaged his interests, then don't blame him for creating a group of enemies for the Mo family village.

After sending away a group of silk merchants, the head of the Wei family couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the situation of other silk merchants is not good, and the Wei family is also the first to bear the brunt, since the eldest son sold the secret technique of printing and dyeing, the Wei family's advantage has been lost, and now the income of the Silk Road has been wiped out by the imperial court, and the Wei family's situation is even more difficult.

"Father, what should I do now?" Wei Sian frowned and walked in from the backyard.

The head of the Wei family frowned and said: "In the short term, the price of silk within Datang is stable, and the Wei family is not much damaged, but my Wei family also needs to take precautions and learn from Mojia Village to lay out cotton in advance." ”

Wei Si was shocked and said: "The layout of cotton, now the cotton seeds are in the hands of Mojia Village, if we want to plant cotton, don't we want Mojia Village to bow our heads." ”

The head of the Wei family snorted coldly and said, "Bow your head to Mojia Village? Not necessarily! ”

Wei Si'an looked at his father in confusion, the head of the Wei family glared at his son, and asked, "Where do you think the cotton seeds in Mojia Village come from?" ”

"Father is talking about Gaochang and other countries!" Wei Si'an said suddenly.

"Yes, the imperial envoy who went to Gaochang this time is old with the Wei family, and my father has asked him to transport a batch of cotton seeds back to Gaochang for the Wei family, and I believe that there will be good news next year. After the Wei family also owned cotton seeds, they immediately searched for famous craftsmen to crack the weaving process of Mojia Village, if the Mo family did not exaggerate, the income of cotton cloth would not be inferior to silk. The Wei family's eyes flashed, those silk merchants only saw the continuous decline of the silk industry, but they didn't realize that another huge industry of cloth merchants was about to rise, if the Wei family laid out in advance, the future income would be very high.

"Father is wise!" Wei Si'an suddenly realized that his father would have a way back.

"By the way, father, there is news in Chang'an City that many powerful people are preparing to form the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce and are ready to go through the Silk Road, I don't know if my father is interested." Wesian Road.

"Western Regions Chamber of Commerce?" The Wei family master's eyes suddenly lit up.
