The noble families finally began to sit still, it was only a day and a half, and the cloth business in the east and west cities was already so hot that it was not good, and the people gathered at the door of the two stores every day were endless, almost rubbing shoulders.

Under such a hot situation, the cloth sold in the two stores has simply increased exponentially, which is devastating for them, and it is directly to extinguish all the little luck they have left.

In recent years, because of the emergence of Zhao Chen, there have been many factories and mines in Chang'an, and because of the emergence of these factories and mines, the poor people of Chang'an have undergone earth-shaking changes, and every household has a little balance.

But it's just the balance, far from being extravagant enough to buy uncontrollably, and this time the cloth shops in the east and west cities, since the appearance, in the name of the newly opened rush to sell, have been sold at a cheap price, almost, triggered a rush to buy in Chang'an.

The fabrics sold by the two cloth shops are all high-quality fabrics, not just simple gray, but a variety of colors, not only suitable for men and women to make dresses, but also for bedding, which is simply versatile.

The most important thing is that this kind of cloth is of high quality and extremely thick to the touch, listening to the introduction of the guy in the cloth shop, it is said that these cloths have been dyed by pulp, and one horse can withstand several pieces of linen, which is definitely worth the price.

The common people of this era naturally don't know what pulp dyeing is, but one thing is for sure, this kind of cloth is very cheap, and the quality is very good. This is the reason why the cloth shop quickly became popular in Chang'an.

At first, I listened to the people below when they talked about the two cloth shops that suddenly appeared. Actually, the people of the family didn't take it to heart. Because, wool fabrics have always been not very popular among ordinary people, and the reason is naturally that the price is too high and not ordinary people can afford to enjoy them.

However, then when they suddenly found out, even the women in their own house began to plan to replace the silk bedding with cloth. That's when we really pay attention to it.

They can give up the low-end market, and they can also open one eye and close one eye in the mid-end market, but now they have bought it in their own homes, which is the most intolerable for them.

It's just that, whether they want to admit it or not, when they have seen the cloth in person, from the bottom of their hearts. I have to admit that this new cloth does have the advantages that people can't refuse.

Of course, this does not matter. Importantly, these two stores are now a serious threat to their interests. There is money that everyone earns together, and apparently in their opinion. Zhao Chen's move is a bit too inauthentic.

So, in such a situation. The shopkeepers who showed up on behalf of various families began to come to the fourth floor in groups, and asked the shopkeeper on the fourth floor about Zhao Chen's motives.

Of course, the people of the family are not stupid, as soon as the two cloth shops appeared, they made such crazy moves, obviously losing money and making money, what are they trying to do?

The most important thing is that if they are right, these two and the new cloth lines are clearly aimed at them, and if there is no other purpose behind them, then it is called a ghost!

It's just that the few people who were sent to the fourth floor to inquire about the news found nothing in the end, because, no matter how they asked, the shopkeeper on the fourth floor looked dazed and ignorant, and he didn't know anything about it at all.

The shopkeeper on the fourth floor couldn't find out anything, but Hu Lu, who always represented Zhao Chen, was not in Chang'an at this time, so in this case, for a while, the people of the major families were collectively silent.

The Chang'an Hou Mansion is just a stone's throw away, but unfortunately, this kind of thing can't be put on the table after all, and when it is not a last resort, there is really no reason to go to the Chang'an Hou Mansion to have a showdown with Zhao Chen in person!

Of course, under the surface that seems to have calmed down, there is already an undercurrent, and the nobles of the family can't find any news on the surface, so they privately sent more people to collect news everywhere.

Even, at the expense of buying off the local snakes in Chang'an, they changed their methods and broke into the interior of the cloth to find out the news!

Moreover, on the morning of the second day of the rush sale of the cloth shop, finally, the imperial history began to be officially in the Taiji Palace, in front of the civil and military officials, and the matter was officially played to Li Er.

Hearing the wind, this is the responsibility of the imperial history, so when the imperial history asked Li Erzuo about this matter in person, for a while, there were a huge number of people in the hall who took the opportunity to echo it.

Although Zhao Chen's name was not directly said, what he was referring to was still a stupid person, he could hear that he was pointing at Zhao Chen.

Obviously, the families have been forced to start shooting head-on!

"I'm a little confused, what the hell is this kid doing?" In the hall of the Qin Mansion, at this time, Cheng Biting Jin, who had just dispersed the dynasty, was sitting in the hall with Lao Qin, the faces of both of them were ugly, and Cheng Biting Jin said in a very impulsive tone: "Suddenly made such a play, it is obvious that it is for the nobles, why?" What's in it for him? ”

"How can you necessarily assume that Xiao Chen is doing this?" Lao Qin's face was also ugly, but unlike Cheng Biting Jin, Lao Qin's eyebrows frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and after hearing Cheng Biting Jin's words, he came close and immediately said: "This matter is just speculation from beginning to end, and there is no direct indication at all, it is Xiao Chen's doing!" ”

"Besides!" When Lao Qin said this, he suddenly frowned and said, "Don't you think that His Majesty's reaction today is also a bit intriguing?" ”

Talking. Lao Qin frowned and looked at Cheng Yanjin, and said meaningfully: "According to Your Majesty's reaction in the past, after hearing such a thing, the first thing you must have ordered someone to investigate, but today, Your Majesty actually postponed this matter!" ”

“… What does the elder brother mean" Cheng Biting Jin, who was still sulking with Zhao Chen, immediately frowned when he heard Lao Qin's words, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Your Majesty has long known the cause and effect of this matter?" ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" When Lao Qin heard this, he suddenly smiled bitterly at Cheng Yanjin and said, "Think about it." If His Majesty had known about this kind of thing early on, would it be as simple as it seems? ”

Hearing Lao Qin's words. Cheng Yanjin was already dumbfounded, and then combined with the things before and after. I suddenly felt that this seemingly malicious competition was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"Wait!" When Lao Qin said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and said to Cheng Yanjin: "If it is, the old man guessed correctly, and in just one or two days, the truth will come out!" ”

However, it didn't take a day or two at all. On the afternoon of the day when Lao Qin finished saying this to Cheng Yanjin, the truth of this matter was revealed, and the cause was because of a large report in the Datang newspaper.

This report occupies almost the entire front page of the newspaper, and the content reported above is a large-scale text introduction about the completion of Yueyang New Town. It is also accompanied by a picture of Yueyang New Town.

And when Lao Qin was in the flower hall, holding the newspaper that had just been baked, and looking at the content of the report on it, a pair of eyes that were originally full of doubts. Suddenly showed a hint of relief.

I couldn't understand why Zhao Chen suddenly wanted to make such a show and involve all the families. Although, it can be guessed. There is the shadow of His Majesty the Emperor behind this matter, and it must be insignificant. But I still don't know anything about the specifics.

Until this moment, looking at the above report, all the doubts were all figured out at this moment, and I suddenly understood that the real initiator of this matter was not Zhao Chen, but the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

The above introduction to Yueyang New City is naturally not the focus, the focus is on the following, about the geographical environment of Yueyang, the rotation of the four seasons, what is the most suitable for planting, what is the most suitable for planting, and the above is clearly introduced.

And Lao Qin's attention, he didn't care about anything else, except for one thing above, he paid special attention to it, because this thing was nothing else, it was the raw material that could be used to weave cloth - cotton!

Seeing the appearance of cotton, how can Lao Qin not understand, combined with some time ago, there was something about the resettlement of displaced people in Jianghuai, this matter is clearly His Royal Highness the Prince, who tied up the nobles of the family with interests, and invested all the money in the construction of Jianghuai.

Of course, it was not only Lao Qin who saw this newspaper, but when the newspaper came out, it was quickly passed on to the nobles of the family almost immediately.

Then, when all the nobles of the family, the first time they saw the content of the newspaper, like Lao Qin, they all reacted, and the person who forced them to lose their money this time was not Zhao Chen as they guessed, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.

"I didn't expect my son to be so powerful now!" And when the nobles and people of Chang'an were discussing the contents of the newspaper, in the Liangyi Hall of the palace, the eldest grandson at this time was looking at Li Chengqian, who was hanging his head in front of him, with a smile on his face, and said: "Unexpectedly, the queen mother was counted, and the queen mother was really impressed!" ”

The eldest grandson was very unhappy in his heart, not because those losses were calculated by Li Chengqian, but because Li Chengqian didn't tell her half a cent about this matter from beginning to end, until the moment the newspaper came out and the truth was revealed, she didn't know that it was all Li Chengqian's doing.

Therefore, the eldest grandson's sadness at the moment is caused by concealing Li Chengqian!

"It's no wonder that you can't do it at this time!" Just as the eldest grandson was talking to Li Chengqian in the Liangyi Palace, Li Er's voice suddenly came in from outside, and said to the aggrieved eldest grandson: "I didn't let Chengqian tell you!" ”

"Second brother!" Hearing Li Er's domineering words, the expression on the eldest grandson's face couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Er who came in, and exclaimed suspiciously.

"I'm afraid that if you know, I can't help but make some moves, and ruin Cheng Qian's affairs!" Entering the Liangyi Palace, Li Er then sent everyone out, and then looked at the eldest grandson and said.

"I didn't expect that the second brother would look at the concubine like this in his heart!" The eldest grandson listened to Li Er's words, and in a pair of eyes, suddenly the tears began to fall down, and he began to speak aggrievedly as he fell.

Listening to the cry of the eldest grandson, Li Er's face obviously pulled out, and then silently took out a handkerchief and handed it to the eldest grandson, with a posture of letting the pavilion fall. (To be continued.) )
