Chapter 278: Snow

In just half a month, the price of crude brown in Cheongju and Pingzhou has risen by more than 20%, and the supply is still in short supply.

In the meantime, Mei Baoqing's steward Lao Fang collected the Mao Brown handed over by the Wang family, the Lu family, and the Tao family, and collected nearly ten carts of them, and they were transported out of Pingzhou City with great fanfare and sent to the north. At the same time, a number of merchants flocked to Pyongju and Cheongju to get a piece of the pie.

Lu Shao's first business was completed, the money bag was bulging, happy, and proudly reported to Mrs. Lu, after getting the praise of Mrs. Lu, he was full of enthusiasm and invested all the money he earned, and continued to grab the Mao Brown with the Wang and Tao families, and even went to the house of the person Lin Shiquan had agreed to earlier, and took away the other people's Mao Brown at a higher price, how much did it want... He also grabbed skilled weavers at a high price, and invested enough money to build a wool weaving workshop.

Speaking of this wool weaving workshop, it is not too difficult to build, the Lu family has a ready-made house, and the government agreed, get a spacious yard, the loom, the weaver, the raw materials are all neat, you can start work.

Lu Shao was capable, energetic and energetic, and with all his strength, he worked hard to produce the first batch of exquisite weaving gold ti huā hair brown in just twenty days. Although the number is not much, it is a living signboard, relying on this batch of wool brown, he and the old party agreed that before February next year, hand over 1,000 high-grade weaving gold ti huā hair brown, and the two sides signed the deed according to the rules. The old party has high requirements for quality, and the price he gives him is naturally not low, but in the same way, if he breaches the contract, the price to be compensated is not low.

Everything is going smoothly, it seems foolproof, Lu Shao walked with a good style, not to mention in the Lu family, even in the entire Pingzhou City, he was also a man of the hour, and he was in the limelight for a while, and he wanted to take up all the brown business in Pingzhou and Cheongzhou. But as long as it is profitable, others will naturally not let him be satisfied casually.

The Wang family and several small families did not have a strong background, and they couldn't afford to provoke him to quickly retreat after disposing of the goods in their hands, but the Tao family was actively responding to the battle in Qingzhou, and the Lu family was not allowed to reach out to Qingzhou openly and secretly. Old lady Lu secretly reminded Lu Shao twice, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, of course Lu Shao is not convinced, and he is bent on making an appearance to respond to it... But he never gave up, so the price of Cheongju, the main production area, was much higher than that of Pyeongju.

But few people know that every day, Mei Baoqing's chariots and horses are turned back from a distance, and the Mao Brown that he bought with huā money before is quietly sent back to Pingzhou and Qingzhou, and after being dispersed very covertly, he was taken back by the Lu family again.

The wool brown in Lu Shao's warehouse is accumulating more and more, and he sees that there is a lot of money. At this time, the Tao family suddenly tightened their inventory and was reluctant to sell it anymore. Lu Shao inquired and learned that Da Rong's side actually liked this hair brown very much, and recently because of their wild harvest of hair brown, Da Rong's hair brown side is also bullish. The Tao family wants to take the opportunity to raise the price, and they also started their own small Jiujiu here, and they are close to Darong, and the time and place are favorable, and all of them are accounted for, if they can directly connect with Darong's merchants, they still make most of the money. So while still collecting hairy brown, it began to raise prices.

As soon as the price was high, the small merchants could not afford it, and the old party refused to accept it again, so he secretly asked someone to negotiate with the Tao family whether they could be a long-term partner and exchange the silk brocade brought back by Mei Baoqing from the south for the Tao family's wool brown, and the two sides were mutually beneficial. Originally, if this business was to be done for a long time, it would be the most appropriate to do this kind of behavior like the old party, and only by coming up with rules and regulations could we cooperate for a long time, so as not to mess up and hurt the harmony.

But Lu Shao was young and vigorous, and he hadn't earned enough capital, so he refused to stop, determined to take advantage of the Tao family's limelight to earn a little more benefits. The best thing is to connect with Da Rong again, and through the contract signed with Mei Baoqing, there is a continuous connection with the Mei family. set up a banquet and asked Lu Lu to go over and persuade him; "Erlang, speaking of which, the Tao family and our family are also relatives, and it's not the first day to make money together, so there's no reason to lose money together."

Lu Mu said lightly; "Brother is right."

Lu Shao knew that he had a pimple in his heart, and he had to be appeased; "I didn't know that you and your siblings were also planning this, and I inadvertently took the lead. I've been unsure... I always want to compensate you, do you think that's good? Didn't you collect some brown before? At the current price, my brother took it. ”

Lu Mian secretly sneered, if he had Mao Brown in his hand, where could he wait until now to sell it to him? Lu Shao made a good calculation, and he wanted to buy himself with a little profit, and he really dared to think about it. He said with a wooden face; "We don't."

Lu Shao smiled slightly, and his words were serious; "If the second brother helps with this, I will have to ask for credit for you in front of my grandfather."

This is a threat. If Lu Mian took the initiative to agree to move Tao Shunqin, it was for the sake of the family, and he should be, but if he refused, he would go to tell the old lady Lu, and in the end, Lu Mian had to work hard, and he would leave a small belly chicken intestines, and he would be careful... There is no name for the big picture.

Lu Mian was furious in his heart, most of it was for the things of these days, and half of it was also for this matter, so he didn't hide his expression at all, and put the wine glass on the table heavily, saying; "I can't take this credit for my little brother, although the Tao family is your brother and sister's maternal uncle, but after all, it is separated by two layers, and it is categorically not blocking people's financial roads, and people still listen to the truth."

Lu Shao had expected it, and he was not angry, so he grabbed him; "The second brother is bad, how can this block other people's financial routes? It's just a discussion with his family... Resist the old side, just fight for a good price. Write a letter, whether you want to or not, it's always his family's business.

It's not for myself, it's for the big guys. ”

Lu Mian was silent for a long time and said; "I'm going to think about it first. I'll talk back to my brother tomorrow. ”

Lu Shao accepted it when he saw it, no longer stopped him, let him go back, turned his head and asked someone to inquire about the price of the wool brown on Darong's side, and contacted the merchants over there, planning that if he connected with the big businessmen on Darong's side, it would be one percent lower than the price given by Tao Shunqin, and he would definitely get the wool brown business in Qingzhou.

Lu Lu went back to the room and told Lin Jinrong about the matter... Lin Jinrong smiled; "His good days are coming. I wrote to my uncle and asked him to promise him and accompany him. ”

These days, she and Lu Mian have only cared about taking medicine and taking care of family affairs all day long, and the other has only buried their heads in hard study, occasionally going out for a walk... Come back before dark, quiet and silent, low-key forbearance, waiting for this day.

This Mao brown in Pingzhou and Qingzhou, at the beginning, Lin Shiquan, Mei Baoqing, and Tao Shunqin joined forces to buy and sell their own money. When Lu Shao intervened, the price was no longer the original. After Lu Shao tentatively accepted a batch, Mei Baoqing accepted it and reassured Lu Shao. Then he ran around the batch of goods he had bought in a carriage, and secretly sent them back to sell them to Lu Shao at a slightly lower price, and then made the illusion that the Tao family and the Lu family were competing for the right to take over Mao Brown.

Because Lu Shao made money, and saw that the Tao family had been robbing, and many foreign merchants had bought it, he decided that he would not lose money, so he kept buying. But what he didn't expect was that this was an empty situation at all, whether it was Mei Baoqing or the Tao family's warehouse, the wool brown piled up was just a layer of pretense, and the wool brown from Pingzhou and Qingzhou was basically in the Lu family's warehouse.

Mao brown is a good thing, very warm and wear-resistant, suitable for autumn, winter and early spring wear, so Darong, the Northern Desert, and even the north of the dynasty like to use it, and the price has indeed risen in recent years. But the value of a thing has a fixed value, and if the value exceeds its value too much, it is not normal. Just like the accumulation of dangerous snow, there is always a time when the bed collapses.

After Lin Jinrong's letter was sent, although the Tao family did not give a clear answer, the old party returned to Pingzhou from Cheongzhou, nested in a rented small courtyard, and closed the door all day. Lu Shao knew that the Tao family probably agreed to join forces temporarily, so he waited patiently, and from time to time sold some of the wool brown in his hand, selling one horse was called selling ten horses, which also gave him some illusion of prosperity.

In a blink of an eye, on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the three brothers Lu Jing, Lu Lun, and Lu Yi returned to Pingzhou City together, and the shop managers of the Lu family everywhere also brought the bonus money of the past year to the owner to make deals. The Lu family was busy up and down, and the old lady Lu invited people to sing and juggle, and feasted on the big and small stewards in the big and small shops.

Lu Jianzhong, Lu Shao and his son were proud.

When the banquet was at its climax, someone hurriedly sent a letter from outside, Lu Shao opened it and read it, and his smile froze on his face, not caring that there were so many stewards to accompany him, he stood up in a hurry, and did not dare to alarm Mrs. Lu, so he only glanced at Lu Jianzhong and walked out.

Lu Jianzhong sat for a while, and then found an excuse to withdraw.

Lu Lu sat not far away, his palms and feet were damp.

Lin Jinrong carefully counted the dividends sent by the bead shop in Lu Xuan, three thousand taels of silver, which was not a small amount. Mrs. Lu really gave Lu Lu a good shop. Lin Jinrong rubbed the silver, thinking of the money he threw into Mao Brown, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of pain. was thinking about how to pull these things out of Lu Mian, when he heard a noise outside the door, Lu Mian hurriedly came in, didn't speak, just looked at her.

"The feast is over so early?" Lin Jinrong felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and motioned for all the people waiting on the side to retreat.

"It's not gone, my socks are a little damp, and I have to go out to accompany the guests when I come in and change them." Only the husband and wife were left in the room, Lu Lufang said in a low voice; "The old party is gone... The price of wool brown has fallen. ”

"Next, I'm afraid I'm going to blame my uncle. Grandfather was afraid that he would be suspicious... Can you handle it? Lin Jinrong sighed softly half relaxed, half solemnly. Originally, Pingzhou and Cheongju were remote, and the news was blocked, and many times it was the businessmen from outside who brought the news in, and the price of goods was determined more by big businessmen like Mei Baoqing. With the support of the old party, it is not bad, but if he doesn't support it, he will naturally fall.
