Chapter 662: Forced Debt!

Although Luoyang relies on the Grand Canal, the economy continues to rise, constantly challenging the position of Chang'an, but at this moment Chang'an City is still the richest place in the Tang Dynasty, and with the construction of the brick road, the traffic of Chang'an City is greatly convenient, and the smooth flow of the Silk Road makes the future prospects of Chang'an City to a higher level.

The offer of cotton clothes and quilts happens to be within the range of acceptance of the people of Chang'an City, cotton is warm and soft, it is the best thing to keep out the cold, which has been confirmed by later generations, all the people who have come into contact with cotton clothes and quilts, none of them have been conquered.

A carload of transport vehicles in Mojia Village, stepping on the cold snow water to and from Chang'an City, this is probably the busiest road in the north of the entire Tang Dynasty, the car full of cotton clothes and quilts have just been unloaded, and then they were coaxed out by the people of Chang'an City, Mojia Village is full of production, but it is still in short supply.

"Mo Jiazi!"

The head of the Wei family looked at the cotton clothes and quilts in front of him, and couldn't help but hate in his heart. The Wei family is the largest cloth merchant in Chang'an City, and naturally also deals in cold coats and silk quilts, for this winter, the Wei family deliberately hoarded a large number of fur clothes, ready to make a lot of money, but the popularity of cotton coats in Mojia Village completely bankrupted the Wei family's fortune plan.

Compared with the high-quality and inexpensive cotton coats, the high price of the fur does not have any advantage at all, not to mention the expensive silk quilt, since the cotton quilt appeared in Chang'an City, the Wei family's fur and silk quilt could not be sold at all, it should have been the peak season, and now it is even more off-season than the off-season.

"Father, don't worry, Mojia Village only has 1,000 acres of cotton, even if some cotton is shipped back from Gaochang and other countries, there is not much inventory in mind, so it is not a worry." Wei Si'an comforted.

"But now that the snow is blocked, the cotton clothes and quilts in Mojia Village can only be sold in Chang'an City, and when Mojia Village is sold out, how many people in Chang'an City do you think need fur clothes!" The head of the Wei family said helplessly, at this moment, he hoped that the brick road could be unblocked as soon as possible, and every night and one day, the fur market in Chang'an City would shrink by a circle.

"The father is not worried about the temporary failure, the father did not expect that Mojia Village was forced to be in a hurry, and he took the initiative to show the cotton, and the father can guarantee that once the news of cotton warmth comes out, the price of fur and the price of silk will definitely plummet, which is the most deadly." The head of the Wei family said worriedly.

Wei Si'an's face suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Then the batch of goods that our Wei family hoarded before." ”

The Wei family took advantage of Tuyuhun's great victory to hoard a lot of furs and silk, and if the price plummeted, then their Wei family would definitely suffer heavy losses.

"It's a big loss!" The head of the Wei family said helplessly.

It's not just the head of the Wei family, as soon as the cotton clothes and quilts came out, the cloth merchants were in mourning, and they gritted their teeth and said hatefully:

"Mo Jiazi!"

………………

"Hahaha, Mo Jiazi is really a catfish, this bite is really painful!" In the Chai family, Chai Lingwu laughed when he got the news.

"Young master, you don't know, this cotton coat is simply too hot, almost every household in Chang'an City has one hand, and I heard that many court officials also wear cotton coats to the court." The housekeeper of Chai Mansion on the side said with a smile. There is no shortage of warm things for the upper households, and almost all the main people of this purchase are middle-sized households in Chang'an City.

"That's natural, in front of Your Majesty, which official dares to wear silk and satin, mink fur coat, at this moment, the cotton coat is out, the price is moderate, and it is extremely warm, isn't it just in the middle of it, but this time it is cheaper than the Mo family, and it has made a lot of money!" Chai Lingwu sneered.

The thoughts of the court officials are mostly similar to Su Luosheng's, but once the news came out that all the people were wearing cotton coats, it fueled the craze for cotton coats, and even many families couldn't help but follow the trend to buy.

Chai Lingwu, as the son of the Chai family, naturally does not lack mink fur to keep warm, and he doesn't need a cotton coat, but he did buy a set of quilts, and the experience feels very good, and it is indeed a good thing to keep out the cold.

"That's right! Young master, there is news from the clan, I want the young master to find a way to get some cotton seeds! The housekeeper of Chai Mansion said suddenly.

"Oh! Those old guys have a crush on cotton, too! Chai Lingwu raised his eyebrows.

The housekeeper of Chai Mansion smiled bitterly when he saw the young master's attitude towards the clan, but he still said dutifully: "A cotton coat is only a few catties but it sells for 200 Wen, according to Mo Jiazi, one acre of cotton can be harvested into hundreds of catties of cotton, so it is much more cost-effective than farming." ”

Chai Lingwu sneered: "That's because the Mojia Village family in the world owns cotton, if the cotton is planted everywhere in the world, the people can grow it themselves, who will buy it!" ”

The housekeeper of Chaifu said helplessly: "The cotton in Mojia Village is only a thousand acres now, I am afraid that it can only supply Chang'an and Luoyang, and there is still a huge blank area in Datang. ”

The north is not very suitable for silkworm farming, and the yield is not high, but if it is suitable for growing cotton, this is not another source of income.

Chai Lingwu said impatiently: "Okay, I know, after the beginning of spring, Young Master Ben will naturally bring back a batch of cotton seeds from the Western Regions!" ”

Now all the cotton seeds in the Tang Dynasty are in the hands of Mojia Village, if you are afraid to pay a lot of price from the hands of Mojia Village, it just so happens that the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce is about to go to the Western Regions, and it is naturally not so difficult to collect a batch of cotton seeds.

Fu Bo nodded, hesitated, and said: "There is also news that the son from Luoyang has seen that the situation is not right, and he has begun to close the net in advance. Shall we help each other? ”

Among the forces of the joint encirclement and suppression of Mojia Village, the forces of the Shandong family are the main force, and the Guanlong family is cooperating, after all, the interests of Mojia Village are too big, how can these families not be moved, Lu Shuang saw that Mojia Village continued to accumulate wealth, and he was afraid that it would change later, so he decided to start in advance.

Chai Lingwu thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Then do you think they can succeed?" ”

"Ugh!" The housekeeper of Chai Mansion was suddenly stunned, originally according to his thoughts, I am afraid that no one can resist the joint encirclement and suppression of so many families, but thinking of the endless methods of the Mo family, the housekeeper of Chai Mansion suddenly had no bottom in his heart.

"Don't care about the others, my Chai family won't make a move this time, after all, Morton helped the Chai family once in the big military parade, if we fall into the ground, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of my Chai family." Chai Lingwu shook his head and said.

With Chai Lingwu's gentlemanly character, how could he care about the reputation of the Chai family, if he could really carve up Mojia Village, or control Mojia Village, he would naturally spare no effort to make a move, but comparing the Mo family and Zheng Lu, who had repeatedly created miracles, Chai Lingwu couldn't help but lean towards the Merton side in his heart.

"The old slave knows how to do it!" The housekeeper of Chai Mansion bowed and said.

The Chai family did not make a move, and did not stop Lu Shuang's determination to put Mojia Village to death, the heavy snow had just stopped, the weather had just cleared, and the news that the major merchants had jointly forced debts to Mojia Village spread all over Chang'an City in an instant.
