No matter which city it is, only the local rich gentry can afford to wear it, and this buying and selling makes the merchants profitable, so more people come to urge the matter of ready-to-wear, which makes Zhao Rui a little upset.

Zhao Rui immediately raised the price of ready-to-wear garments, in this era ready-to-wear should not be so cheap, to solve the problem of manual sewing efficiency, the price should be greatly increased.

In this way, ready-to-wear became the exclusive domain of the wealthy, while ordinary people still needed to buy cloth and make it themselves. After all, Zhao Rui's current vigorous development is cloth, is a machine over the human stage, if you do the opposite, ready-to-wear occupies the main market, then the sales of cloth will become a big problem.

In the situation that the overseas market has not been opened, Zhao Rui still needs the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty to greatly consume the cloth produced, complete a certain degree of primitive capital accumulation, and then use this capital to upgrade to a more advanced machinery industry.

At this time, the Yuan Dynasty was blocked in Xiangfan, so it increased its invasion of the west, and the east was in Sizhou and Chuzhou to launch an invasion of the Southern Song Dynasty, but because of the battle with Zhao Rui, a large number of return artillery was lost, which hurt the vitality, so in the confrontation with the Southern Song Dynasty, no substantial progress was made for the time being.

For the Southern Song Dynasty, it was even more difficult at this time, and there could not help but have external worries, and internal troubles became more serious.

Because of the mediocrity and continuous exploitation of the imperial court, large and small rebellions broke out in Hongzhou, Jianzhou, Shinshu and other places in the south.

At this time, the White Lotus Society, which had the foundation of the White Lotus Sect, was born from this, and the White Lotus Society headed by Du Wanyi gathered tens of thousands, holding the slogan of "Maitreya descended into the world and saved the people of the world", and had the posture of overthrowing the Southern Song Dynasty.

In addition, the Manichaean religion entrenched in the Fucheng area was not idle, and it was in contact with the White Lotus Society and colluded, and it also launched a lot of uprisings.

The so-called troubled times are exactly like this, originally these two forces have given the Southern Song Dynasty a great headache, and they have sent troops to suppress it many times, which has consumed a lot of vitality.

But the birth of the Great Treasure Sect is even more unexpected.

Because it has something to do with him, Zhao Rui also specially asked Zhan Gong to come to check the relevant information.

This Great Treasure Sect is actually a false religion, the White Lotus Sect evolved from Buddhism, and Manichaeism came to the Central Plains from distant Persia, both of them have some teachings and scriptures, but the Great Treasure Sect has nothing.

They were just a group of people who had been oppressed, and because of the relationship between the clan and the like, they gathered to defeat the local government, and when they were in a panic, the news of Zhao Rui's defeat of Fancheng spread.

They simply took advantage of Zhao Rui's name, gathered a lot of people, and began a long-term confrontation with the government.

As Zhao Rui's fame grows, their strength is also growing, and they seem to have a scale comparable to the White Lotus Society, they are originally an organization created for self-preservation, so they also have conflicts with the White Lotus Society from time to time.

Now that Zhao Rui has stabilized Xiangfan and is more famous, this Great Treasure Sect also seems to be a little inflated, and there are constant wars with the government, and there is even a tendency to compete with the White Lotus Society.

Zhao Rui knew that he would definitely have contact with this organization that borrowed his name in the future, but he didn't expect that they would take the initiative to come to the door.

At this time, the outer city of Fancheng was completed, and the reinforced concrete city wall was towering and towering, and it was unusually firm under the magnificent appearance, and it would definitely withstand the attack of more return artillery.

The city is also prosperous, and Fancheng, which originally had few people, has now settled with the addition of traders, and the number of people has far exceeded before.

The two people from the Great Treasure Sect who were about to meet Zhao Rui walked into the city from outside the city, and what they saw and heard had already made them feel a little more restrained.

Originally, Zhao Rui in their hearts may just be a good fighter, but from this point of view, it may be more than that.

Zhao Rui was chatting with Ma Yue about the situation in the world, and just happened to report that it was someone from the Dabao Sect, Zhao Rui was surprised, and by the way, he left Ma Yue to receive with him.

Ma Yue is more strategic, and it can play a role in checking and filling in the gaps.

Zhao Rui ordered someone to make tea in the house, and two people walked in from the outside.

I saw that one of the two was dressed as a white and thin scholar, and the other was stocky and strong, and it seemed to be a combination of literature and martial arts.

The two were a little restrained, entered the house, and knelt down according to the seemingly elderly Ma Yue.

"Under Liu Zhen, Liu Wei, I've seen the prince!"

There was no response for a long time, and the two raised their heads strangely, only to see that "Zhao Rui" had a strange face, as if he was smiling, and the young man sitting next to him was helpless.

Seeing the inexplicable appearance of the two, Ma Yue couldn't help but smile and said, "You worship the wrong person, this is the prince!" ”

Following the direction of Ma Yue's finger, the two of them focused on Zhao Rui, they really didn't expect that they would make a fool of themselves when they first met, and they actually worshiped the wrong person, but who made this prince look too young.

In folklore, Zhao Rui's deeds do not have an accurate age, so most people think that he is a man in his thirties and forties, because if a military general wants to make merits, there is no chance if he is not at this age.

The two had to bow down to Zhao Rui with an embarrassed smile before getting up and being allowed to sit.

The two of them were respectful, and first introduced themselves, and Zhao Rui knew after listening to them that this was the only actual person in charge of the Great Treasure Sect.

They started in Jizhou, and now there are more than 20,000 people, all of whom are Zhao Rui's staunch supporters, Zhao Rui nodded clearly, if this is placed in modern times, it is equivalent to having more than 20,000 iron fans.

During the conversation, Zhao Rui also learned that they are now in a lot of conflict with the White Lotus Society, and even the White Lotus Society has surpassed the government and become their number one enemy.

Zhao Rui couldn't help but laugh, feeling that they were like two groups of bandits fighting each other.

But what are they doing here, won't they let me send troops to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect?

Most of the people who spoke were the strong man named Liu Wei, and Liu Zhen, who looked like a scholar, just had a sentence next to him to supplement the explanation.

After Zhao Rui asked questions, the two of them were silent, and the two looked at each other from time to time, as if they were deciding who would answer.

In the end, Liu Zhen hesitated and said: "Lord Wang, we borrowed your name, you won't blame you, right?" ”

Zhao Rui really didn't feel anything about this, so he waved his hand to show that it was okay.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both looked much more relaxed.

"That's great, my lord, we're here to ask for help this time!"

Liu Zhen's mood was a little excited, as long as Zhao Rui was not disgusted, it meant that their request was dramatic.

"You want me to send troops?" Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Rui does not fight unprepared battles, and he will never fight for others, if this is the purpose of the two of them, then they will be disappointed today.

As a non-governmental spontaneous organization, whether they borrow their own name or not, they are a force that restricts the Southern Song Dynasty after all, Zhao Rui is happy with its existence, but there is no entanglement of interests with them, if they want to make themselves famous with empty mouths, it is naturally impossible.

"Send troops to this...... We haven't thought about it yet, we came here because we wanted the prince to give some financial support, because without financial resources, whether it is against the Song Army or the White Lotus Society, we don't have the strength to fight again! ”

"After doing it for a long time, I came to ask for money!"

It's really poor in the downtown and no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, they didn't come earlier, but they didn't come until the fabrics in Fancheng were all over the place, they must have felt that they were rich.

It can be seen that the brains of these two people are okay.

Zhao Rui was not disgusted by them asking for money, but was willing to fund. In Zhao Rui's view, it is precisely because he has resources now that others will be able to get close, which is not only a very common thing in ancient times, but also in modern times.

But the control of this organization is not in his own hands, and Zhao Rui has no reason to give it with real money, although they are against the Southern Song Dynasty.

Ma Yue saw Zhao Rui's thoughts, and said, "Lord Wang, we just arrived at two cargo ships......

Yes!

Zhao Rui's eyes lit up when he heard Ma Yue's words, and then said: "The so-called teaching people to fish is not as good as giving people fish, I don't have gold and silver, but the cloth is there!" ”

The more Zhao Rui thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and continued: "I can give you a lower purchase price, you can pay for the first batch of fabrics without paying, wait for it to be sold out, you return me with the principal, and I will give you a new batch!" ”

"This ......"

The two seemed to have a difficult face, they didn't expect Zhao Rui to use cloth instead of money.

"Think about it, anyway, you are rebels, and you don't have to pay taxes, and you sell them at the market price, but the profits are huge." Zhao Rui said truthfully.

Liu Zhen seemed to have made a calculation, glanced at Liu Wei, and the two thanked Zhao Rui together.

Cloth is cloth, according to Zhao Rui, the profit is indeed not small, and there is no cost constraint, which can be regarded as Zhao Rui's mind.

"Thank you, Lord Wang......"

The two said goodbye and followed the people arranged by Zhao Rui to load the car together.

"The idea is very constructive!" Zhao Rui praised Ma Yue.

"Where, the prince will think of it sooner or later!" Ma Yue responded modestly.

Ma Yue is not wrong about this, Zhao Rui has recently developed ideas and divergent thinking with him in order to increase sales.

Zhao Rui now feels that it is a very good move to give them fabrics.

There will be some discounts for large-scale purchases, so if they come back with the principal in the future, they will find a big customer with Zhao Rui.

If they don't have the ability to repay, Zhao Rui will never regret it, the value of these fabrics Zhao Rui doesn't particularly value it, and he feels that he really needs to use these fabrics to find someone to fight against the Southern Song Dynasty.

Moreover, if they don't return the principal this time, then next time they will naturally have no face to go to Zhao Rui's sponsorship, and Zhao Rui's service will be clean.

In addition, regardless of whether they repay the money or not, at least Zhao Rui's cloth has gone out, which can be regarded as increasing the market share and accelerating the pace of tapping deep customers.

After loading the goods, the two went upstairs to say goodbye to Zhao Rui, and Zhao Rui had nothing else to say, just told them that their own people would escort them for a while.
