In a private room, Wang Yue was entertaining an old acquaintance, Chen Guo merchant Wu Xin, and there were several other Chen Guo merchants here, everyone had been going back and forth for several years, and they were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wu Xin has become a frequent visitor to Xiyang City, and has witnessed the great changes in this city, from a small city with more than 5,000 households to a big city with more than 10,000 households today.

The number of people has doubled, and the area of the city has also doubled, especially the liveliness of the East Market, which is close to the West Market of Jiankang.

"You're not in a hurry to go back, are you? Stay in Xiyang for an extra day and take it slowly. ”

"Thank you Brother Wang for your kindness, if I wait for one more day, the owner of Jiankang will be a little more anxious." Wu Xin said with a smile, they and Wang Yue are already brothers, "Xiyang's goods are so tight, more than one day, you will earn a few less times." ”

"Money can't be earned, the orders you placed, Wang will definitely deliver on time, but the books mentioned earlier, but they really have to be slightly delayed, and the supply of paper in Huangzhou can't come, after all, there is a lot of demand elsewhere."

"In any case, there must be a "Xiuwen Palace Imperial Review", it really can't work, and other books can be postponed." When Wu Xin said this, he didn't care about anything, "Jiankang is in a hurry." ”

"Rest assured, the study club has been finalized and will not be delayed for too long."

They are all acquaintances, it should be mentioned that as Chen Guo merchants, Wu Xin and others ventured across the confrontation between Zhou and Sui, relying on the line they had taken earlier, and this line now has more and more business opportunities.

Back then, Wu Xin came to Xiyang to run for the valuable glass mirror, as well as glass jewelry, products, now there are more and more merchants vying to buy glass mirrors, some monks have more porridge and less, but there are other money-making goods.

Books are one of them, the other is cloth, Wu Xin and others in addition to this trip to pick up the ordered glass mirrors, books, another is to buy cloth, how many to buy, they have prepared sufficient property.

The price of Jiankang's cloth is about 100 yuan a horse for the most ordinary coarse cloth, while in Xiyang, the price of coarse cloth with slightly better quality is 85 yuan a horse on average.

Not to mention coarse cloth, let's say that the cloth that has been dyed, the same price of Huangzhou dyed cloth, than the dyed cloth in Jiankang City, is more washable, plus the freight is low, the price of Huangzhou cloth transported to Jiankang is 100 wen per horse.

Wait further, those cloths printed with various color patterns, not to mention a variety of patterns, just compared with the cloth of the same price, or Huangzhou cloth is washable, relatively speaking, it is not easy to fade, and it can be worn several times.

That's enough, just like the book published in Huangzhou, Huangzhou cloth is good and cheap, it is very good to sell in Jiankang, load the ship from Xiyang City, Huangzhou, go down the river to save time and effort, not to mention Jiankang, sell in the city along the river are not worried about sales.

Why is the cost of Huangzhou cloth so low? What dyeing techniques did the cloth workshop use to make the dyed cloth so durable? Wu Xin has always wanted to figure it out, but he also knows that it is impossible.

I can probably figure it out, because the textile workshops in Huangzhou are all by the Santai River, presumably using water power, and those rows of waterwheels are evidence, but I don't know what is going on inside.

The nursing homes of the various cloth mills surrounded their own courtyards without leakage, and the only sporadic words that could be heard were that they used a textile machine, which was powered by water power.

The key is this water-powered weaving machine, what does this thing look like? How is it structured?

However, those who know will not speak, and those who don't know can't think of it, it's not that no one spies on the news, and then they all disappear without exception, and there is no more news.

Wu Xin didn't have this kind of idea, because he knew that this hydraulic loom had something to do with him, so it was impossible to offend the big financier for a little profit.

The strong soldiers under his command can fight, and a bunch of industries can make money, that is, the second son of Zhou Guoshan South Road, and the governor of Huangzhou, he has the power and money of soldiers, and there is no shortage of food, and he also guards the Yangtze River waterway, who dares to provoke that person who is full of food!

On Chen Guo's side, there are only a handful of people who can catch this line, and now they have all made a fortune, no one can't get along with money, Wu Xin won't, and neither will the owners behind him.

And that's not all, it's going further!

。。。。。。

Xiyang City under the sun, a secluded courtyard, Yu Wenwen, dressed in civilian clothes, sneakily flashed into the courtyard, leaving a few people outside to control the wind, this is his indescribable courtyard, specially used for the golden house to hide... Guests, those who can't see the light.

Raising an outer room or something that he likes to see, Yu Wenwen will not do it, and he doesn't bother to do it, accompanying the three fairy-like wives and concubines in the family is not enough time, so he won't steal it.

In the main room in the courtyard, a man was sitting quietly reading a book, and he heard a whisper outside the door, "Lord Lang, here", he quickly got up, the door opened, and after seeing Yu Wenwen come in, he said with a smile: "Yu Langjun, don't come to harm?" ”

"Mr. Kong, Yu is riddled with mundane things, I have waited for a long time, forgive my sins."

"I have heard for a long time that Yu Langjun has been quite effective in governing the state and county, Kong Mou walked through Xiyang City today, and it is really worthy of his reputation!"

"Mr. Kong has an overreputation, and he traveled thousands of miles up the river to Xiyang, and Yu was not well entertained, so he forgives his sins."

"Yu Langjun is too humble, it is Kong's honor to be invited by Yu Langjun."

After some meaty mutual praise, "Yu Langjun" Yuwen and "Mr. Kong" Kong Fan sat in front of the desk and began to talk about business.

In other words, Yu Wenwen, the governor of Huangzhou Prefecture of Zhou, and Kong Fan, the official of Chen Guodu, are now talking happily with each other, ignoring the reality that the two countries are at war and scolding each other for "Beiyu" and "Daoyi", and the "despicable and shameless" private collusion to do that bad thing.

Why did Shangshu of the Southern Dynasty come to the enemy country, why did the young Langjun secretly meet with middle-aged men, why did the border defense of Zhou and Chen seem to be false, why were there frequent merchants of Chen State in Xiyang City, was it a crazy profit-seeking or a dirty traitor, a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation?

Please pay attention to the wonderful drama of Xiyang City at four o'clock this afternoon: the point of no return.

"Mr. Kong, this cooperation, Yu has no problem, of course, the details have to be discussed in detail."

"Is what Lang Jun said true?!"

Kong Fan's eyes narrowed with a smile, it was not in vain that he risked ruining his reputation, and came all the way to Xiyang City upstream to connect with "Yu Langjun" Yuwen Wen, the goods in his hand, no matter what they were, were worth a lot.

"Yu doesn't dare to tease Mr. Kong."

Yu Wenwen said with a smile, the two are now talking as civilians, and they call each other by the same name when they met in Jiankang that year.

He is now the "leading brother" of the Huangzhou business group, and he wants to collude with Kong Fan, a famous traitor of the Chen State in history, to take the route of the senior officials of the Chen State for the future of the Huangzhou business group, and make a fortune together.

'If I were the emperor and you were a courtier, Lao Tzu would send you to the ends of the earth and roast squid there for the rest of your life! ’

Yu Wenwen thought so in his heart, but a traitor or something, anyway, he was not a traitor of the Zhou State, so Yu Wenwen didn't have the slightest bad feeling, and besides, the other party took the initiative to post it, and he couldn't ask for it.

Embarrassed or something, I'm the best at it! (To be continued.) )
