Li Ji has been unable to make ends meet for several months, at this time, all he is asking for is a stable word, as soon as he received the secret letter from Ankang Li Jun had a premonition that the price of sandalwood would rise, and Mu Wanqiu set up the Li family to take the lead after receiving the order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he allocated the silver that night, and specially told Li He not to care about anything, and immediately rushed to buy sandalwood after receiving the silver.

For an order of 10 million sticks, the holy decree clearly stipulates that each incense stick shall not exceed 50 at most, which is the price set by the Ministry of Internal Affairs with reference to the Buddha nod of the Baiye Fang, and the best sales of Buddha incense in the incense market are the Buddha of the Baiye Fang, and the price is also high.

According to his estimates, even if the Li family takes down all the orders, the cost of a dozen yuan a piece, the total price is only one hundred or two hundred thousand taels, counting the price increase factor in the future, he allocated more than 500,000 taels of silver, at that time, the holy decree has not yet been issued to various places, the price of sandalwood is still at a low level, if Li He can listen to his words and shoot with lightning speed, he will grab it, and he can make a lot of money if he makes trouble.

It's a pity that Li He didn't distinguish between priority and dissuasion, and watched him drill into other people's traps.

Now in a few days, the price of sandalwood has increased nearly ten times, and he has not received a single grain, at this time, the cost of a piece of incense is nearly 100 yuan, which is higher than the selling price, what kind of silver do you make?

At this price, whoever receives the order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs loses money!

Looking at his father's note repeatedly, Li Jun's brows twisted into a pimple.

"Childe ......" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Li Qing shouted in a low voice.

“…… Where's the master? Li Jun asked.

"Study ...... in the Inside"

"I'll go see him......" Li Jun stood up...... What, Jun'er wants to give up the order of Buddha incense from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? After listening to Li Jun's words, Master Li almost didn't stand up, and then, his head shook like a wave drum, "No, if the Li family doesn't participate in such a big matter, it will annoy Long live, and the imperial merchant qualification will be cancelled immediately." ”

Li Jun patiently explained. "The third brother hasn't received a single piece of sandalwood, the price has risen more than ten times, and the spices in Shuoyang are controlled by the Yao family, and I'm worried that once I receive an order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. will be choked by the Yao family. ”

Master Li snorted: "Grabbing sandalwood at a high price, Yao Ji just wants to be a sandalwood bully and make more money, he has calculated the order of the Internal Affairs Bureau, no matter how high the price of sandalwood is, someone will take over, so unscrupulous!" ”

"But ......"

didn't wait for Li Jun to speak. Master Li forcibly interrupted him, "We have no way out, this order must be fought for!" The voice slowed," ...... Taking a step back, even if he wanted to choke the throat of the Li family, Yao Shixing would not throw the silver into the water, and he would have to throw the musk in his hand sooner or later, otherwise. Once the opportunity is missed, the price of musk drops, and he is the second Bai Guangsheng! ”

Even if he took refuge in the British king. Yao Shixing will not be so stupid as to go bankrupt just to help the King of England bring down the Li family.

This competition is just a loss of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and his Li family still loses!

"Father is right, Yao Ji's sandalwood will be sold to the Li family sooner or later, and the son is just worried that the price of sandalwood will rise a hundredfold or a thousand times by then......," the Li family looked at his father quietly, "We will lose money just sitting at home." ”

“…… It's certain to lose money, so let's spend money to buy the imperial merchant qualification. Master Li sighed, "Fortunately, there are still workshops such as the Liu family and the Huangpu family Baiye Fang to compete, and this order will not exceed three million grains in our hands at most, at most two or three hundred thousand taels of silver." The Li family can still pick it up! The sonorous tone was unquestionable, and Master Li looked up at Li Jun, "Jun'er will allocate another 500,000 taels of silver to He'er." ”

Seeing that his father had made up his mind, Li Jun sighed faintly in his heart, and said unrelentingly, "Has my father thought about it?" What if the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives the 10 million orders to the Li family? ”

Under the strong organization of the British king, the Yao family, the Liu family, the Huangpu family and Ruan Yu Zuofeng all twisted into a line to deal with the Li family.

This bureau has long been done by the Yao family of the British king, and if this foot is entered, the Li family will immediately go bankrupt and will never recover.

"This ......" has not thought about such a far-reaching thing, Master Li was shocked, and for a moment, a trace of fear also appeared in his heart, and he really frowned and pondered.

It was silent, and there was a knock on the door, and Li Qing came in and replied, "...... The holy decree came from the palace, and the lord and the eldest prince were invited to accept the decree. ”

After placing the incense case, he received the holy decree, which surprised Li Jun and Master Li, and the holy decree was to ask the Li family to hand over the Buddha incense sample as scheduled before the fifteenth day of the first month, and raised the highest price to eighty.

Kowtowing and thanking him, Master Li asked him to take a silver ticket of 10,000 taels and stuff it to Gonggong Fu, and asked, "...... Why did Banzai suddenly decree that the Li family must hand over the sample? Li Jun's words woke him up, and when he suddenly received such a holy decree, Master Li had already faintly smelled a smell of conspiracy, which made his heart tremble.

If it is really planned by the King of England, the Li family is afraid that it will be difficult to escape this time.

At this moment, Master Li felt that the most terrible thing in the world is not that you are unknowingly calculated, but that you know that there is a trap in front of you, and you have to stick your head into it and watch people tighten the rope little by little.

“…… It was not specifically given to the Li family, and all the imperial merchants received the holy decree. Fu Gonggong stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, "I heard that the price of sandalwood has risen tenfold, and many incense shops have retreated, afraid that no one will delay the big event by offering samples, so I listened to the words of the prime minister and gave the decree to the major emperors." He lowered his voice and said, "...... The meaning of the queen mother, those who do not offer samples this time will be disqualified from the imperial businessmen and punished for the crime of bullying the king. After speaking, Grandpa Fu straightened up and walked out quickly.

Sending Grandpa Fu back, Master Li's face turned slightly pale.

"Father has a cup of tea first......" Li Jun took the tea handed by the maid and poured a cup for his father personally.

Master Li waved his hand, "Jun'er go, give He'er 100,000 taels of silver, and let him receive the sandalwood no matter what." ”

There is a holy purpose, and he knows that this errand can no longer be avoided, so Li Jun nodded, "...... My son will do it. ”

As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Master Li, "...... Haven't sent a sample of the White Girl yet? ”

"No......" Li Jun shook his head.

Master Li looked down at the calendar on the table, frowned, and said, "...... It's the twenty-eighth of the month of Dula, why haven't the samples been sent yet? ”

"Ah Qiu wants to transform Li Ji's secret recipes into incense ash rolls, and the Buddha keeps nodding, thinking that it will take some effort...... Saying in his mouth, Li Jun secretly said in his heart, "According to what Ah Qiu said, the nod of the modified Buddha is to replace the accessories with talcum powder and viscose, it should be very simple, with her craftsmanship, three days is enough, why haven't you taken out a sample for ten days?" ”

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the old man say, "...... However, a few Buddha incense, Ah Qiu's craftsmanship didn't take so much time, Jun'er took the time to go to Baifu to have a look, did she also retreat? And he said, "...... Tell her that we can't hide from the holy purpose, so we have to hurry up, and if it's too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to Ankang before the fifteenth day of the first month. ”

"Son, let's go to Baifu to have a look." Li Jun retreated in response.

Walking straight to the courtyard, Qin Jian quietly asked Li Jun, "...... The silver has been lent to the white girl, what will the son give to the third son? He muttered again, "The third prince is really not worrying, if I can listen to you and prepare sandalwood early, we won't be so passive today." ”

It was originally a great thing, but in an instant, it was bleak and bleak.

Li Jun's body stagnated, then he took off his waist (fastest update) card and handed it to Qin Jian, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Take my waist card to Deshengchang, and let Feng Xi immediately transfer 100,000 taels of silver from the spare treasury of the silver number to Shuoyang." ”

“…… How does this work?! Qin Jian's voice trembled slightly.

It is a mandatory provision of the Great Zhou Law to reserve a certain amount of spare treasury silver for the invoice number, and once it is passed out, the spare treasury of the Li family is passively used, and I am afraid that the government will immediately seal Deshengchang.

It's just ordinary, Zuo Feng Ruan Yu is now staring at the Li family!

"Let's go......" Li Jun nodded at him, "Remember, let Feng Xi do it himself, don't let the news leak." ”

Knowing that there was no other way, seeing Li Jun's resolute attitude, Qin Jian replied stiffly, turned around and hurriedly left.

As soon as I returned to the Sandalwood Courtyard, I saw Mu Wanqiu waiting at the door.

"Ah Qiu......" Li Jun hurriedly greeted him.

“…… Samples are out. Mu Wanqiu looked excited, "Brother Li, how about a quick look?" ”

Seeing Mu Wanqiu's smile on her face, Li Jun's gloomy mood improved a lot, and she asked with a smile, "...... I'm about to go to Baifu, but it just so happens that Aqiu is here, where is the sample? ”

"It's all in your study, which makes Brother Li anxious." While speaking, Mu Wanqiu followed Li Jun into the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the study, she didn't drink any tea, so Mu Wanqiu noisily found an incense burner and ordered a sample for Li Jun to smell.

“…… What do you think? She looked at Li Jun's face nervously, "Does it taste good?" ”

At this moment, these samples don't matter to Li Jun, as long as they can be handed over, it's not that they are afraid of smashing Mu Wanqiu's name, Li Jun really wants to find two defective products casually, and the envoy of the Western Regions can't look down on it, so naturally he won't choose the Li family, so he simply let the British King Yao's family cook this meal to feed the Liu family.

However, for the sake of Mu Wanqiu, he couldn't do this.

Mu Wanqiu is a first-class perfumer of the imperial gift, and the chief perfumer of the Li family, the incense products offered by the Li family can only use her name, and there can not be too many flaws.

Otherwise, once Banzai is disappointed, and there is the king of England to make trouble, a hat that steals the name and deceives the king is likely to be deducted on Mu Wanqiu's head, and if she is not good, she will be imprisoned.

Full of thoughts, Li Jun didn't listen carefully, only sniffed, feeling that the taste was slightly better than Li Ji's ordinary out, and saw that the Buddha incense had a neat appearance, tough and elastic texture, so he nodded and said, "Very good, I will send someone to send it to Ankang immediately."
