As soon as the mulberry tree sprouts, it means that more silk will be produced, and last year's raw silk will fall, and the people who were originally waiting and watching can't bear it, and they begin to sell raw silk at a low price.

Tian Youwei only collects the finest raw silk, and doesn't want the rest.

After accepting a part, she told Veteran Yang to stop, saying that she would not accept it, and no one wanted it.

The price of silk fell more and more, and she began to close again, close it, stop it, and the price fell lower and lower.

The three hundred taels of silver were quickly used up, and she asked Yang Lao to inquire about the loan, so she used the raw silk in the treasury as collateral and borrowed another two hundred taels of silver at the price of five cents of interest.

The price of silk fell again and again, and when the silver in her hand ran out, the treasury was half full.

Tian Bing entered the city by chance, saw a lot of silk, inquired about the price of silk, was so anxious that he almost fainted, and returned home and asked Tian Youwei: "What should I do?" As the price of silk falls again and again, it will be lost! ”

Tian Youwei was not in a hurry: "Don't worry, it will rise soon." ”

If her brother knew that she had used those raw silk as collateral and borrowed two hundred taels of silver, he would have died of anger on the spot.

But forget it, everything has to be done gradually, it's not good to be too anxious.

Tian Bingqi said: "Up? Rose? I think you've got a lot of food! ”

Shao Jing couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, Tian Youwei nodded at him and said with a smile: "The second brother's meal has grown more." ”

Tian Bing glared at her angrily, she didn't react, and continued to do her thing.

Ximei came in from outside, and complained while wiping the mud on the soles of her shoes: "This rain has been falling for several days, and there is no sunny time." I heard that many silkworms raised by people in the village were sick. ”

Tian Bing's eyes lit up: "Sick? Why do I get sick? What disease? ”

Ximei said: "I heard that the weather is not good, it is too humid, and it looks like zombie silkworm disease." ”

Zombie silkworm disease is difficult to cure, and it is very troublesome, the last batch of silkworms can get, the next batch of silkworms are very likely to get sick, once it spreads, it is simply a disaster.

After Tian Bing was happy, he worried about the silkworm farmer again: "What can I do about this?" ”

Tian Youwei can't help it, first, she doesn't understand this, and second, no one believes what she says, in such a world, personal power is too small, and she is lucky enough to keep herself and her family.

Tian Bing was worried for a while, and he thought about it again: "When the price of silk rises, let's sell it quickly, right?" ”

Tian Youwei shook her head: "Don't worry, it's not time to sell yet." ”

In view of his poor performance before, Tian Bing's confidence was seriously insufficient, and he didn't dare to fight with her anymore, but said: "If you want to use me, just say it, I will do it properly." ”

Tian Youwei smiled and nodded: "That's for sure." ”

Half a month has passed, the whole Jiangnan has been rainy, zombie silkworm disease continues to spread, into a catastrophe, so that the current season silk production reduced seventy.

The silkworm farmers suffered a big loss, and they didn't dare to feed it.

At this time, the merchant ships of Goryeo were about to arrive at the port of Myeongju.

It is customary for the Koreans to exchange a lot of raw silk every year.

As a result, the raw silk rose sharply, and many people came to inquire about it, all wanting to buy the high-quality raw silk that Tian Youwei hoarded.

The role of Yang veteran is fully reflected, no matter how the other party lures and persuades, he is unmoved, only looks at the warehouse tightly, and then writes down the price raised by the other party and reports it to Tian Bing, so that the owner can decide for himself.

Tian Bing heard that the price of raw silk was the same every day, almost four or five times, and he was overjoyed, and went to persuade Tian Youwei again: "Sell it, and settle for safety." ”

Tian Youwei also felt that it was almost the same, and after discussing it with Tian Bing, she found an excuse to go to the county seat to deal with the matter.

Veteran Yang said: "The day before yesterday, a Liao Juren asked someone to bring a letter, saying that if the second master and the girl came, don't be busy selling raw silk and go to him." ”

Tian Youwei and Tian Bing both felt strange, but they were not in a hurry to sell silk at this time, so they took Shao Jing to Liao's bookstore.

The Liao family's bookstore was as open as ever, and after entering, Tian Youwei saw a man in a gray robe in his forties standing at the counter.

When she glanced at it again, she saw two people sitting at the counter, one was Liao Juren, and the other was a man about the same age as Liao Juren, dressed very richly, and the two lowered their heads and whispered to each other, looking very intimate.

Tian Youwei was shocked, this is Wu Qi, the head of the Wu family, looking at this appearance, the friendship with Liao Juren is extraordinary, this is really unexpected.

The steward leaned down and whispered a few words, and Liao Ju and Wu Qi both looked up.

Tian Bing led his younger siblings forward and respectfully saluted: "Mr. Liao, I heard that you are looking for us." ”

Liao Juren's gaze swept over the three of him, and finally landed on Tian Youwei, with a very cautious expression: "Yes, I have something to find you, sit in the house." ”

The steward opened the curtain, and Liao Juren invited Wu Qi and Tian Youwei to enter.

Tian Youwei saw that there was a small patio behind the Liao family's shop, planted with a few bamboos and a clump of bluegrass, which was simple but refreshing.

Liao Juren led them to the hall and sat down, Liao Shu lowered her head and served tea, and retreated quietly.

Liao Juren introduced Tian Youwei and the others: "This is Wu Qiye of Mingzhou Port, he urgently needs a batch of high-grade raw silk, I heard that you have saved a lot, ask me to be a middle-aged person, the price must not be lower than the market." ”

Wu Qi bowed vainly, and said with a smile: "Yuyao is an outstanding person, it really opened my eyes, such a young child actually came out to do business." ”

Tian Bing didn't know who this Wu Qiye was, but looking at his appearance, he also knew that he was a wealthy businessman, so he responded with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant: "The elders in the family are hard, and a few of us don't want to eat idle meals, so let's find something to do." ”

Wu Qi smiled: "Are you the master?" ”

He was worried that he had done business with his children, and when he turned back, the family knew that he had broken the contract and was in trouble.

Tian Youwei said: "We can call the shots. ”

Who would have thought that Wu Qi only looked at her and smiled slightly, then turned his head to look at Tian Bing: "Brother." ”

In his opinion, even if it is a child, it is still a boy who can call the shots.

Tian Youwei, who was ignored: "......"

So back then, her father wanted to give Shao Jing to her as a child husband no matter what.

As soon as she thought of this, she glanced at Shao Jing resentfully.

Shao Jing noticed that she was inexplicable at first, and then she smiled flatteringly at her eyes like a curved moon, and then quietly held the corner of her clothes.

At this time, Liao Juren spoke: "They can call the shots, I won't cause trouble for you." ”

Wu Qi said: "Let's go to see the color of the silk first." ”

The group went to the warehouse, veteran Yang opened the door, Wu Qi bowed his head slightly, and the steward went in to check the color of the raw silk in a familiar way.

But when he saw that on the wooden shelf, the bundles of raw silk were neatly stacked, without mildew and moisture, and the color was excellent, so he returned and said to Wu Qi: "Master, the color is good." ”

Wu Qi asked Tian Bing: "How much do you ask?" ”

Tian Bing subconsciously looked at Tian Youwei.
