The face of the merchant surnamed Wu is really not good-looking.

Being able to blatantly buy cotton in Annan, and being able to get a few hundred catties at a time, is definitely not something that ordinary Han people can do.

Even if there is no one to make it difficult in Annam, but it still has to pass through many prefectures and counties, countless checkpoints, if there are no acquaintances in Annam, there are no strong connections, it is absolutely impossible.

It's just that these things can't be used by outsiders, and Shang Jia surnamed Wu understands the truth, so he looks a little embarrassed, and says hesitantly: "This ...... There is a way, but there are some things, it's not that people can't trust the dude, it's really ......"

Liu Cheng smiled, and immediately said, "Since Brother Wu is inconvenient to say, it doesn't matter." In fact, the old man asked, just to know how much appetite Brother Wu has, to be honest, this is about to pass the winter, we lack cold clothes here, nearly 100,000 laborers have no clothes to wear, these are all for cloth. Moreover, there are more and more merchants who come to buy cloth, and the cloth produced by our Houfu cloth workshop is in short supply, and now it has been expanded again and again, and it is good to say that the most important thing is the lack of cotton, without cotton, this cloth can not be produced, yes, the little Hou Ye yesterday ordered someone to send a letter with a fast horse, saying that it is to hoard cotton on a large scale, the price, in fact, you can also mention it again, how many goods you can eat, but the cotton in the mainland wants to come to you also know that there are too many merchants who collect cotton, and the competition is too fierce. However, if Annan and even the entire Nanyang can be open to acquisition, it can meet the needs. The reason why the old man is probing your details is not because of other intentions. It's nothing more than a sentence, how much can you get in your way, you can say it accurately. Let's have a bottom here. ”

When the merchant surnamed Wu heard this, his face immediately softened, and he learned that the other party was not thinking about anything, but was giving him a big business opportunity, this merchant surnamed Wu suddenly began to think about it, and said hesitantly: "Three thousand catties, how about it?" ”

Liu Cheng pursed his lips and smiled. Showing a look of disappointment, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Okay, three thousand catties is three thousand catties." All you have to do is send it, and there's a lot of silver here, well, that's all for today. There will be a period later. ”

The merchant surnamed Wu suddenly felt cold in his heart. The other party was obviously not very satisfied with this mere 3,000 catties, and he couldn't help but look down on himself.

Shang Jia surnamed Wu suddenly blushed, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, the figure of three thousand catties, people look down on it is true, as far as he knows, now the cloth produced here in Langshan is as many as hundreds of horses a day, and this is still in short supply. It is conceivable that production will continue to increase. How big is the demand for cotton in the future, and this bit of my own business really can't get into the eyes of others. Seeing that the other party was so urgent, Shang Jia surnamed Wu squinted, his eyes flickered, as if he was weighing something, and after the most reluctant, he gritted his teeth and said: "Wait, don't be busy walking first, if you can get 100,200,000 catties a month, can Langshan eat it?" ”

Liu Cheng smiled and said, "It's not a matter of worrying about doubling it again. ”

Shang Jia surnamed Wu said: "I might as well give it a try, let's be honest, there is really a way, but the cotton production in Annan is not high, but ...... I'll figure it out. Brother Liu, I may not be able to do this accurately, but ...... You have to wait a few days for news. ”

After saying this, he stood up and said, "I will take my leave today, and there will be a period later." ”

Liu Cheng sent him out of the city, and said, "Don't worry, the more cotton, the more price we will give him......"

Shang Jia surnamed Wu just nodded.

As soon as this businessman surnamed Wu left, in the hall where the cotton was collected, Hao Fenglou walked out slowly, Liu Chengdui smiled and saluted, and said, "Little Hou Ye, I don't know if there is anything wrong with what the student said?" ”

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "You said it very well. After a pause, he continued: "The background of this surname Wu is not simple, he has made many high-ranking officials and nobles on the Annan side, this news is released to him, and it won't be long before our cotton will not be worried." ”

Liu Cheng glanced at Hao Fenglou, and always felt that the dignified little monkey master was in charge of everything, and now he was the general of the military guard of Annan, so it stands to reason that he should not care about such a trivial matter as cotton, after all, for the entire Langshan, the purchase of cotton is indeed enough to give people a headache, but it is not to the point of urgent need, let alone labor people like Hao Fenglou. With Liu Cheng's eyes, he secretly guessed in his heart that this little marquis must be weighing something in his heart.

It's just that these things have nothing to do with him, he was recruited by Wu Xiong, and now he is in charge of cotton matters, he is well treated here, and he is also quite decent, much better than going out to do business by himself, what Liu Cheng has to do is to do his part well, as for the rest, he doesn't have to figure it out.

Liu Cheng smiled and said: "The little marquis has rushed back thousands of miles, it must have been hard work, and some small things should be handed over to the villain to be responsible." ”

Hao Fenglou nodded, but stretched out his hand and said: "I want to leave it to you to do, but I am quite interested in this kind of thing, yes, you bring the account book, I want to see, many situations in Langshan, I am just a peep in the tube at the moment, now that I am back, just take a look." ”

The merchant surnamed Wu went to the warehouse to deliver the goods, and then got the silver.

The silver paid by Lang Son is both full of silver, the purity is very high, in this regard, everyone is very satisfied, weighing an ingot, Wu surnamed Shangjia returned to the inn where he stayed, closed the door, and inevitably began to think.

Liu Cheng's words, he was indeed moved.

It is easy and comfortable to do business with Langshan, people say that one is one, has a good reputation, and the silver given is not mixed with water, which shows the integrity of the other party.

If you continue to do business with them, or make a big deal......

When Shang Jia surnamed Wu thought of this, his heart became even more excited.

Who thinks that their money is hot? Such a big deal is in front of my eyes, and if I give up, I am really unwilling.

Early the next morning, the merchant surnamed Wu left, and he decided to go to the workshop to have a look.

So he hired a car and went directly to Longxugou.

This dragon beard ditch is a plain, leaning on the river, although the name has a ditch word, but it is unobstructed.

When you get here, there are countless workshops in a row, and all kinds of workshops are dotted around. The scale of the cloth mill is very large, there are dozens of huge workshops, thousands of people work in them, there are dyeing houses and warehouses nearby, and almost every workshop has an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages carrying full of cotton in, and then dragging horses of cloth to the dyeing workshop.

Naturally, no one is allowed to enter and exit at will here, and a special waist card is required to enter the workshop, and this businessman surnamed Wu can only watch from a distance outside.

When it got dark, the merchant surnamed Wu returned to Tongshanji. At this time, he seemed to have made up his mind.

He picked up the lamp and wrote several letters in a row, and then called a guy to come, and said solemnly: "Send it to Thanh Hoa and Thang Long immediately, if a few masters have to ask, just say that this is my idea, I have always been cautious to do things for a few adults, and this time I also let them rest assured, if the transaction can be done, the profit will not be a few hundred or thousands of taels of silver, ten, twenty or even a hundred times is not difficult......"

The guy took the letter, didn't dare to slack off, nodded his head, and went out of the night.

That day and night, there was not only a businessman surnamed Wu who had no sleep, but many cotton merchants couldn't sleep.

They themselves have indeed seen with their own eyes that Lang Son's demand for cotton is indeed huge, and can even be described as appalling.

The reason why most of the cotton purchased by Lang Son is Annam's cotton is that the price of cotton in Annam is even lower, and if cotton is purchased from the mainland, it will certainly not be as profitable as Annam.

But it is impossible for people in this business to have nothing to do with it, this era is full of people who eat people and do not spit out bones, you are a foreign businessman, you are not familiar with life, who dares to eat this rice bowl.

Therefore, people like businessmen surnamed Wu, in fact, most of them have met many dignitaries and dignitaries in Annan, and with their secret help, the business has gone so smoothly. There are even some people who are simply the minions of those nobles, helping them do some inconvenient things.

And now, countless letters have been passed on.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Thanh Hoa is located in the lower reaches of the Zhu River in Annam, when the Hu family was in power, it was the capital of Annam, after more than ten years of operation, it has long been not to be underestimated, the royal palace here, the scale is not less than Thang Long, coupled with a large number of population gathering, so it has naturally become a paradise for some of the dignitaries and dignitaries who are free from the power center of Thang Long.

Here is like Suzhou and Hangzhou, some are drunk and dreaming of death, and there are many businessmen and those who are pampered.

Near the palace are rows of mansions, most of which are of the Ming Dynasty, with holes in the walls of the white and grey courtyards among the lush flowers and trees.

Thanh Hoa Lê is one of the wealthy families of Thanh Hoa, the ancestors of the Đồ clan are extremely prominent, whether it is the Chen family or the Hu clan, they have been left and right, their ancestors have been a door order, there are also many people who have been generals, even now, many local officials are also from this family.

The Li family prides itself on being a cultivator, and in addition to cultivating their children to study, they own a large amount of land, and Annam has been established for hundreds of years, and these wealthy families have continued to grow, and the land is very serious, and it is precisely because of the large amount of land and various inextricable relationships that the Li family has become entrenched in one side, and even can influence the current situation of one side.
