Chapter 475: Sharp Blade Overhang (Three Shifts)

Li Su directly announced the price of the cloth to be sold by the China Commercial Bank in the Yizhou Monthly Report.

At this time, the value of Yizhou monthly report is also reflected.

In the past, the Maison controlled public opinion.

What the family wants the people to know, the people can only understand.

But now with the Yizhou monthly report, it's completely different.

What are the movements of the imperial court now, everyone can find out by looking at the Yizhou Monthly Report.

And this time, the Chinese Comptoir sold the cloth at a low price, if the family did not make a move.

Then the cloth they have hoarded and is ready to sell at a high price will either be held in their hands or sold at a lower price.

But in the price war, how can they be the opponents of China Commercial Banks?

You must know that the silk drawing factory and cloth factory of the China Commercial Bank have reduced the price by more than ten times because of advanced machinery and advanced technology.

This is like the industrial revolution and the enclosure movement in the West, this is the conflict between industrialization and traditional handicrafts, which they simply cannot match.

Pressed in his hands, Li Su felt even more impossible, this was not the style of the family at all.

Therefore, Li Su concluded that this time, the family would inevitably choose to hoard goods.

Since this is the case, then don't blame the eldest grandson Dayin for forcing them to stretch out the butcher's knife.

And the price of the cloth that King Shu will launch is:

A horse of raw silk 330 Wen.

The price of linen cloth is 340 wen per horse, while the price of fine cotton silk is 560 wen per horse, and the price of cheesecloth comes to 400 wen per horse.

……

In fact, the price increase of cloth is not Cui Shi Niang's decision.

On the contrary, Cui Siniang strongly advocated not raising the price, or only a slight increase.

Cui Shi Niang's proposition is justified.

That is, since the King of Shu has purchased so many cocoons, it is absolutely impossible for him to smash them in his own hands.

Moreover, the king of Shu has set up a silk factory, a cloth factory, and even a garment factory.

Since this is the case, it is impossible for the king of Shu not to produce cloth.

They are now raising prices so high, once the King of Shu makes a move, it will be difficult for them to deal with it.

In fact, Cui Siniang still had an idea in her heart, but she didn't say it.

That is, they raised the price of cloth to such an extent that many people would really freeze to death in one winter.

And Cui Siniang felt that it was really not worth it for a little benefit.

There are so many places where the family can make a profit, and there is no need to create evil because of a little money.

This is not a good thing for the family.

However, this kind of reason, Cui Shi Niang can only hide it in her heart, and she will not say it.

Because even if she said it, she would only be laughed at.

And for her proposal not to raise the price, her family, as well as the Zheng family, will not listen to her little girl at all in this kind of thing.

When dealing with the King of Shu, their family pushed her out.

Now their own proposal is not conducive to their money, so they will not adopt it.

Oh, that's what they're really talking about.

Now, Cui Shi Niang is quite disappointed in the family of five surnames and seven wangs she is in.

And now, after the emperor's will came out, Cui Shiniang was even more shocked.

It turned out that the King of Shu had been prepared for a long time.

The price given by the King of Shu is almost their cost price.

If they sell at this price, not only will they not make any money, but they will lose money.

If the King of Shu has been selling cloth at this price in the future, they will have five surnames and seven hopes, and they will have to withdraw from the cloth industry, and they will not be able to compete with others at all.

With the cheap cloth of the King of Shu, will anyone else buy the expensive cloth of their family?

Obviously, there will never be.

What's even more terrifying is that with Cui Shi Niang's understanding of their family, the family will definitely not sit still, and will definitely fight back.

However, the emperor's decree has long stated that those who dare to hoard goods and disrupt the market will be severely punished.

Obviously, the King of Shu and the Emperor had already guessed that they would make a move, so they have now raised their butcher knives.

It's ridiculous that the people of their family still don't know it.

Cui Shiniang hurriedly found her brother Cui Zhiji and said to Cui Zhiji: "Brother, have you seen the will given by His Majesty?" Your Majesty is probably already extremely dissatisfied with our family, and this time, I am afraid that I will take advantage of this opportunity to severely punish our family. Therefore, we must not interfere in the matter of cloth this time. ”

Hearing Cui Shi Niang's words, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but smile bitterly for a while.

"Shi Niang, the emperor has long wanted to deal with our family, but there is no way to deal with us, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. This time, Brother Wei thought that it was just a slap on us, and there would be no substantive action. What's more, if we want to do it, how can we let them catch the flaws? ”

Hearing Cui Zhiji's words, Cui Shiniang's heart couldn't help but sink down.

She knew that the two of them must have already made a decision to do something about the cloth this time.

Their method must be to swallow a large amount of cloth, and they will buy as much as it appears on the market.

Although the number of silkworm cocoons purchased by the king of Shu was very large, they were still able to eat it.

When the time comes, it can still be sold at a high price.

Those who can't be sold, they can also be sold to the Western Regions and other places through the Silk Road.

Even if they were to hoard the cloth, they would definitely not reduce the price.

Thinking of this, Cui Shi Niang couldn't help but anxiously said to Cui Zhiji: "Brother, this time, you really can't do it, the emperor will definitely do it." Do you believe that Shi Niang is good this time? I really can't do it, at the very least, our Cui family must not make a move! ”

Seeing Shi Niang's anxious look, Cui Zhiji sighed and said, "Okay, I'll tell them your suggestion." It's just that they won't listen, and they can't guarantee it for their brothers. In fact, this time, Brother Wei didn't approve of them doing this. But—well, I hope they'll listen. ”

……

Soon, countless pieces of cloth were transported to Chang'an by train.

Of course, neighboring areas such as Kennam Road, Shannan Road, and Yeongnam Road can be sold directly.

Now the focus of the sale is still in the north.

The weather in the north is even colder.

For example, in Jiannan Road, among those shops, those cloths have been hung, and of course, there are also many ready-to-wear shops.

These cloths are really like those published by His Royal Highness the King of Shu in the Yizhou Monthly Newspaper, and the price is very low.

It's much lower than the usual market price.

And the cloth sold by the king of Shu is not only more delicate in texture, but also more vivid in color.

As a result, as soon as the cloth came out, it was looted and quickly sold out.

Those who come late will not be able to grab it.

Then they saw the cloth they had snatched from their neighbor's house, and they were envious.
