You know, it's a big deal.

In the whole world's cooked silk thread business, the transaction of more than 400,000 catties of cooked silk thread is of course nothing. But a single transaction, worth six thousand gold.

That's an astronomical amount of money.

After that, Chen Chuan solemnly confirmed to Li Zhong, is it true?

Li Zhong is also serious, absolutely true, and by no means untargeted.

After doing this again and again, Chen Chuan believed it, and then went down in a panic to scrape the ripe silk thread. Chen Chuan is not a producer, just a big silk and linen businessman.

The previous 100,000 inventory, another 100,000, was scraped together and sold to Li Zhong. This time Li Zhong came again, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for 400,000 catties of cooked silk thread.

Chen Chuan needs to be scraped a little bit before he can get it together.

This time it was delayed for four days, and four days later at Xiangyang Wharf. More than 400,000 catties of cooked silk thread have been delivered and loaded into the ship.

Li Zhong and Chen Chuan said goodbye on the dock.

"Mr. Chen. Guan Taishou is not small. Every six days, 200,000 catties of cooked silk thread are needed, and I don't do this business with others, only with my husband. Please also be prepared. Li Zhong said to Chen Chuan.

Chen rumors are terrifying, this requires 200,000 catties of cooked silk thread every six days, that is, 10,000 pieces of cloth are produced every six days, how is this done???

Chen Chuan couldn't help but ask.

It's not a big deal. Anyway, after the cloth produced in Fangling has an impact on the whole world, everyone in the world will know about it.

But there's only one problem.

Guan Ping is an official, but a local guard, so he can recruit 5,000 female workers to weave. Can an average merchant recruit 5,000 female workers?

Guan Ping is a good official, a benevolent official, and an official of Fangling County.

That's how it works.

Of course, if Liu Biao wants to do this, it will be easy. But will Liu Biao do it? He can't even bear to fight, let alone a businessman's business?

Besides, the profit of Guan Ping's weaving factory is actually average. It's just more than 10,000 gold a year. After subtracting the 30% dry shares given to Li Zhong and other businessmen, 10,000 gold a year may not be enough.

That is, the money to buy a thousand war horses. Jingzhou is vast, and there are countless taxes alone. Liu Biao can't look down on this money.

Therefore, this bowl of rice can only be eaten by Guan Ping.

So, Li Zhong told Chen Chuan about Guan Ping's nine factories in nine counties, with a total of 5,000 female workers, who kept weaving cloth every day.

Chen Rumore's words are staggering, this is really a big deal.

After that, Chen Chuan said goodbye to Li Zhong. Li Zhong got on board and gave the order to sail, and disappeared to the west by boat. Chen Chuan took the carriage back to Xiangyang.

After returning to the Xiangyang mansion, Chen Chuan thought about it for a while. Some couldn't sit still, so they found a steward and said, "Send someone to find Cao Li, Ma Fu, Li Zhen, and Sima Yuan here." ”

"No."

The steward promised and left.

And the four people Chen Chuan found were the four largest silk and linen merchants in Jingzhou, because Xiangyang was the seat of Jingzhou, so they were all active in Xiangyang.

200,000 catties of cooked silk thread every six days, this business is really too big. Chen Chuan knew his ability, even if he was related to Liu Biao, it was impossible for him to eat such a big business.

Because other silk and linen merchants also have the shadow of officials and businessmen.

This Jingzhou cooked silk thread, the cloth business is so big, it is impossible for Chen Chuan to eat it alone.

Chen Chuan needs to unite with these people to eat Guan Ping's business. It's not that everyone earns money together, but there is no way that one person can't eat it.

Soon after, these four silk and linen merchants came to the door one after another. Chen Chuan met with the four of them in the lobby, and after greeting each other for a while, they sat down together.

"Mr. Chen, although we are silk and linen merchants, we have both heard of each other's reputations and met in private, but this is the first time that the five of us have met together. Is it related to the fact that you have recently sold hundreds of thousands of catties of cooked silk thread? Sima Yuan was a refreshing person, so he took the lead in asking.

Xiangyang is so big, the silk and linen business market is very large, and there are very few people who have the ability to do this business.

Recently, Chen Chuan has done a business of hundreds of thousands of catties of cooked silk thread, which is already well-known in this circle.

The rest of Cao Li, Ma Fu, and Li Zhen were also curious, but when they saw that Sima Yuan had asked, they smiled and waited for the following.

"Mr. Sima's guess is not bad, I have a business that we need to work together to do." Chen Chuan smiled and nodded, and told him about the business with Li Zhong and the matter of Guan Ping in Fangling County.

"Fang Ling is too guarded, Yang Wu Zhonglang will be leveled, and the new Fang Ling will be strong. He still has the heart to deal with the affairs of business?? The big workshop of 5,000 female workers is really a big arm. Sima Yuan was speechless.

"This Mr. Sima, you are lonely and unheard, this Guan Fangling (referring to Guan Ping), when he had no official position, he had already interfered in the business of Shangjia. However, these 5,000 female workers are really a big deal. Ten thousand pieces of cloth in six days. It also lowers the price of cooked silk thread, and sells cloth at a low price. Wouldn't the cloth business in this world have to wait for him to finish it before anyone else can do it? It's amazing. ”

Cao Li, who was over the age of sixteen and had gray hair, heard such a thing for the first time in his life, and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right. Did Li Zhong tell you how to sell the cloth produced in Fangling County and to whom? Ma Fu asked. In addition to being a silk and linen merchant, this man was also a silk cloth merchant.

Such a big battle in Fangling not only had an impact on the silk and linen business, but also caused a violent shock to the silk cloth business.

Naturally, he cared.

"I heard that Guan Taishou set up a market selling cloth in the north of Fangling, on the south bank of the Han River. Silk cloth was sold at a price of 9,600 yuan per piece of cloth. This price is already three or four hundred dollars lower than the market price. No one can compete with Fangling, and the merchants who buy cloth in the world are afraid that they will go to Fangling to buy cloth. ”

Chen Legend said.

Ma Fu was very unwilling to do this, so he came up with a bad idea and said: "Guan Ping and the lord are enemies, why don't we enlighten the lord and let the lord be the master, and mess up this business?" ”

The rest of the businessmen glanced at Ma Fu when they heard this, such a big business, we all have to make money, wouldn't it be difficult to get along with money if we mess up the yellow?

The rest of the merchants were relatively simple silk and linen merchants, and they didn't care as much as Mafu.

Chen Chuan also said: "Mr. Ma thinks too much. Could it be that we are made in Jingzhou? Jiangdong, Bashu and Hanzhong all produce cooked silk threads. Even if the lord comes forward and stops the matter. Guan Taishou can't go to Bashu, Hanzhong, and Jiangdong to buy cooked silk thread? At that time, Guan Taishou still sold cloth, and did not do the business of cooked silk thread with us, wouldn't he be empty-handed? ”

The rest of the merchants nodded yes.

Ma Fu sighed, although he was unwilling, he could only reluctantly accept this result. It's really a man-made sword, and I'm a fish.

And the rest of the businessmen have feelings.

Guan Ping is really a dead-stirring stick, and he will be yellow wherever he meddles.

As soon as Mi's wine came out, many winemaking workshops went out of business. How many brewers have lost their money.

Guan Ping set up a bazaar in Xinye, which enveloped the bulk commodity business, which made Xiangyang much deserted and made many tooth merchants a mess.

Now Guan Ping is meddling in the silk and silk cloth business, recruiting 5,000 female workers in Fangling. How many cloth-related merchants will lose their livelihood.

Even many women who relied on weaving to earn some money lost the opportunity to make money.

It's really a-stirring stick.

Invincible.

And these businessmen guessed correctly, Guan Ping is a-stirring stick.

Every six days, 200,000 catties of cooked silk thread, I saw Li Zhong leading merchant ships, going back and forth between Xiangyang and Fangling, and each time he returned full of debts.

Chen Chuan, Cao Li, Ma Fu, Li Zhen, Sima Yuan and other silk and linen merchants monopolized this business, and continuously supplied Li Zhong with familiar silk threads, seeking huge profits from them.

Even though the price is a bit low, the victory lies in the huge shipment, and a sum of money comes in every six days, so that the merchants make a lot of money.

Those farmers who plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms to produce silk, or merchants, are also smiling. I experienced the joy of a rapid reduction in inventory.

But it also affects a lot of people.

Gangneung Fortress.

The Wang family.

The Wang family is a generational clan in Gangneung City and is very powerful in the local area. The current head of the family is Wang Kun, who lives in Nanjun Gongcao, and is a county official.

Wang Kun's wife is the Chen family, and the Chen family is also from the Nanjun family, and Wang Kun is a family, and the two are in love with each other, and have two sons and a daughter.

Although Chen is a lady in the house, she also enjoys weaving cloth in her spare time. On this day, Chen went out by car to buy rouge gouache, and suddenly remembered that the cooked silk thread at home had been exhausted, so he ordered his entourage to go to Wujia Cloth Village in the city to buy cooked silk thread.

This Wujia Cloth Village is not a big cloth village, just an ordinary small cloth village, but it has been in business for three generations and is famous. The cloth village also sells the silk thread to the woman, and then buys the cloth and sells the cloth.

Chen's weaving is just a pastime, and he doesn't produce much cloth on a daily basis. However, she has been doing business with Wujia Buzhuang for many years, so she habitually came here to buy cooked silk thread.

After arriving at Wujiabuzhuang, Chen did not get out of the carriage, but just asked his entourage to inquire. As a result, the entourage said.

"Mrs. Hui, Wujiabuzhuang didn't open the door."

"It's weird. Wujiabuzhuang has been operating for three generations, except for a few days every year, every day rain or shine, why is the door closed now? Chen was puzzled, but didn't think much about it, and just went to the next one.

Anyway, Gangneung City is so big, and there are a lot of cloth villages.

However, the Chen family went to several stores in a row, and found that there was no cooked silk thread to sell. Even if there is a cloth village that opens the door, it is also a cloth seller, not a cooked silk thread.

Chen became curious, what's wrong?

Then Chen inquired and found out the reason.

"I heard that Guan Ping is only fourteen years old this year. It was the leader of the soldiers and horses who claimed to be the general of Yang Wuzhonglang, and he was a county of three counties, and he was appointed as the county guard of Fangling. Led the troops to compete with Liu Zhennan. But I didn't expect that doing business would be vigorous. Chen smiled and didn't think much about it.

This matter, for these housekeepers, is just a conversation after dinner.

But the impact is far-reaching.

Guan Ping built a factory in Fangling and offered high wages to female workers, benefiting thousands of families, improving people's livelihood and increasing his own prestige.

The weaving factory is roughly estimated to have a net profit of about 10,000 gold a year. This money can be used for a lot of military supplies and the repair of warships.

A cloth market was set up in Fangling, and merchants came and went, which increased the prosperity.

At least the furs and medicinal materials produced in Fangling can be transported to the market on the spot to be sold, which is convenient for the local people.

Fangling County gradually prospered.

On the other hand, there are many cloth merchants in Jingzhou, and I am afraid that they will be unemployed. Not only Jingzhou, but also Bashu, Jiangdong, Hanzhong.

It's a blood draw.
