Ji Qiao said to the four of them: "I'm too lazy to be long-winded, you quickly recruit everything you know about Xuanwu Hou, and we will treat it as if nothing happened, otherwise none of us will survive!" ”

Several people looked at each other, but they didn't speak.

Ji Qiao roared: "Dead girl, everyone will let out some blood!" ”

Lin Shi quickly clicked on everyone's thighs with his sword, and a stream of blood immediately appeared on the thighs of the four people.

Ji Qiao waited for more than twenty seconds, and saw that no one had spoken. Then he said, "It's all hard-mouthed, I'll count three times, and if I don't move, I'll cut off a finger." ”

Ji Qiao didn't wait at all, and shouted directly: "One, two, three, do it." ”

"I'll recruit you." All four shouted at the same time.

One of them immediately said, "We don't know much about Xuanwu Hou, we just came here to learn the technology and keep an eye on your factory's every move. ”

"Tell us everything you know, and don't miss any details."

Ji Qiao knew very well that they were not important people in Xuanwu, and they shouldn't know too much information.

The four of them immediately scrambled to speak:

"Xuanwu Hou said that Qiao Gongzi couldn't jump for a few days."

"I said that Qiao Gongzi only had this money, and he still wanted to fight with him."

"Say your silk is rotting in the warehouse."

......

"Xuanwu Hou also asked, whether there are many bad blanks of silk produced in your factory, and we should pay attention to it."

"Tian Yi said that even if you take Miss Lin Shi to pay off the debt, it's useless."

Lin Shi was very unhappy: How could it be on himself again!

Ji Qiao stopped: "Forget it, I don't have any useful information, I will go back to bandage my wounds by myself." Treat it as if it didn't happen, and go on with your work. ”

The four of them left immediately, but their hearts were clear: they must not tell Xuanwu Hou about this, otherwise the consequences will be even more serious!

Ji Qiao said at this time: "Mrs. Dongfang, you send someone to notify other merchants and ask them to go to Linzi to collect silk and satin, and we will sell all the 250,000 zhang we purchased, 250 yuan a zhang." And let them buy a large number of silkworm cocoons, which can be used to offset the payment. ”

Lin Shi asked: "What if they come to Zi and know that Xuanwu Hou will be sold for 130 yuan a zhang and don't trade with us?" Why not send it over as before? ”

Ji Qiao replied proudly: "They have no choice but to trade with us:

First, Xuanwu Hou does not have much inventory now, so it began to limit purchases, and it is estimated that the people will not resell it anymore, and will keep it for their own use.

Second, the silkworm cocoons in Linzi and the surrounding places have long been bought out by our two families. Xuanwu Hou could not harvest silkworm cocoons for a while, and could no longer produce silk in large quantities. That's why I let those merchants use silkworm cocoons to pay for their goods.

After these merchants came, even if they knew that Xuanwu was sold for one hundred and thirty yuan, they would not receive the goods. Besides, Xuanwu Hou also sold at a loss in order to suppress us, and it is impossible to ship goods to merchants in other countries at such a low price.

We don't deliver the goods now, because we are afraid that Xuanwu Hou will be annoyed and embarrassed, and send someone to grab our goods halfway. Let those merchants come to collect it, Xuanwu Hou has some scruples and does not dare to snatch it from them. ”

Lin Shi then asked: "How do we set the price of silk in China?" ”

"One hundred and eighty cents." Ji Qiao replied.

Lin Shi asked again: "Isn't it high, Xuanwu Hou's is only one hundred and thirty yuan." ”

Ji Qiao replied: "It's not high, although Xuanwu Hou secretly learned our technique, there are some key points that he still hasn't learned." It is estimated that their bad billet rate is at least more than one percent, otherwise Xuanwu Hou will not deliberately explain to those spies and pay attention to our bad billet rate.

The current silk production process, after my reform, labor costs account for only 20%, the cost of silkworm cocoons accounts for 50%, and the cost of machine and other material loss accounts for 30%. Therefore, no matter how Xuanwu Hou deducts wages, the production cost will not be lower than ours.

What's more, we have opened markets outside of Qi Country, and Xuanwu Hou can't control us through prices now. Therefore, his silk will also be sold at a higher price, but the quality is not as good as ours, and it will definitely not win us. ”

"Okay, I'm done." Lin Shi said.

Ji Qiao smiled and said, "You are so stupid, why are you asking so many questions?" ”

Lin Shi said disdainfully: "You know a fart, you do a lot of things, my father doesn't understand the reason, only I do this fool to ask you, you can't always ask my father to ask you." ”

Lin Yan immediately said gratefully: "It's still Shi'er who understands Dad, but it's a pity that Dad's father doesn't have the money to reward you." ”

Ji Qiao was shocked! I didn't expect Lin Shiting to think about others, and gave her a thumbs up in admiration! And said with a smile: "You won't worship Ji Ling as a teacher, right?" ”

Lin Shi was unconvinced: "I'm not as stupid as you think, not to mention Ji Ling, a dead child, who is now living in the palace and not coming back, and the princess is hot all day long." ”

Dongfang Jiao said happily: "I'll calculate, and if we sell these 250,000 zhang of silk, we can earn at least 2,000 taels of gold this time." ”

.......

On the ninth day, Ji Qiao asked the other three shops to start selling ordinary silk and satin, priced at 180 yuan a zhang.

Xuanwu Hou also stopped the price of 130 yuan a zhang and rose to 175 yuan a zhang.

In order to save face, Xuanwu Hou found a reason, saying that some time ago, it was sold at a loss in order to bring benefits to the people of Qi State. At present, 340,000 zhang of silk has been sold, and each person has an average share of one zhang and five zhang, so the normal price has been restored.

In this way, the price difference between the two is only five yuan, but the quality of Ji Qiao's silk is obviously better, so Xuanwu Hou can't sell it at all.

In order to prevent the people from selling silk to other countries, Ji Qiao also implemented purchase restrictions.

It is the people of Qi country, one person only has the limit of buying three feet of silk in the first quarter. And for the first purchase, the store will send someone to deliver it to your home, and you must also register your real name. It is also stipulated that silk and satin shall not be resold to the people of other countries.

Ji Qiao asked people to deliver goods to their homes, some remote places, and even lost money, but there was also a purpose: first, to find out the population of Qi by the way; The second is to find a reason to buy a horse so that it can be used by his army.

......

Xuanwu Hou is a complete defeat this time! I didn't expect Ji Qiao to be so scheming. Although he didn't lose much money, only a few hundred taels of gold, the entire silk market was lost, and he was used by Ji Qiao to make a lot of money.

Xuanwu Hou believes that other means must be taken!

However, on the same day, Xuanwu Hou also received a letter from Ji Qiao.

The content is: Thank you Xuanwu Hou for helping me produce silk! Friendly reminder: Defend your copper mine, we will attack soon!

Xuanwu Hou directly tore up the letter, although the letter was written in silk, and it was still in his own silk, but it was also torn apart!

Xuanwu Hou is also a little scared now! In the past, if someone said that they wanted to seize their own things, they would think that the other person was not in a normal mind. But now Ji Qiao said that he wanted to occupy his own copper mine, but he was convinced!

Xuanwu Hou also knew that Ji Qiao must have taken full precautions to provoke himself like this, and he deliberately provoked himself to make a move.

But he still decided to take action, thinking that no matter how powerful Ji Qiao was, there were only two or three hundred families, and he was not vulnerable at all.

If you want to kill Ji Qiao, you have to find a good reason.

But Xuanwu Hou was a little curious, what method could Ji Qiao use to rob his copper mine? I even kind of want to see how Ji Qiao will make a move.
