"At the end of the general, all the families contacted by the Lang lord were selected according to the requirements of the lord of Lang, and the five wealthy chiefs of the Qian family, the Luo family, the Yan family, the Ren family, and the Yang family, all of whom were the brocade families, and each of them raised hundreds to thousands of weavers."

As he spoke, Li Qianzhe handed over a list.

Shuzhong has its own people's feelings, and other places are strong to occupy land and raise soldiers to reflect whether they are strong or not, and whether Shuzhong Haoqiang is strong enough or not depends on whether they can weave Shu brocade. Being able to make brocade means that there are mulberry fields, weavers, skill inheritance, private armies, etc., which can be called old money.

Take this Brazilian Qian clan as an example, if Li Tai remembers correctly, as early as the Three Kingdoms period, there were already famous people of the Qian clan in the annals of history, and in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he even established a secession regime in Shu for a time. Unexpectedly, until the end of this Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Qian clan was still active in Shuzhong, and the historical origin was longer than their Longxi Li clan.

Li Qianzhe recorded the situation of these families in great detail, including the number of his direct family, what their official positions were in Shuzhong, and how many weavers and the approximate output of Shu brocade were in their respective households.

Together, there are thousands of weavers, and thousands of brocades can be produced every year. Part of this needs to be handed over to the Chengdu government, and the rest is at the disposal of each family.

Li Tai was still slightly disappointed when he saw this number, after a period of trial and accumulation before, the production process of white sugar here has already been studied and matured, and when the scale is expanded, the annual output of tens of thousands of catties is not a problem. Even if the price can't be sold at this high price for the first time, it is definitely not much lower, and it is far from being able to eat such a little Shu brocade output.

And it has been the sixteenth year of the Great Unification now, and it will not be long before Shuzhong will usher in the situation. Once the Taiwan government sent another member to capture Shuzhong, Li Tai would have to be a little scruple about what he wanted to do at that time, and he would not be as free as he is now.

Therefore, this business should not be carried out in a long stream, and it is necessary to squeeze as much wealth as possible in Shuzhong in a short period of time, and strive to leave an empty shell for Taiwan.

There is no doubt about the gold-absorbing ability of white sugar, and what is currently limited is the sales channel. It's not that those thousands of horses are not greedy, it's just that Li Tai's requirements are even higher.

After a little silence, he looked at Li Qianzhe and said, "It's still a little slow to buy brocade based on these few houses, can you try to absorb more brocade makers?" The price of sugar can be lowered to replace more Shu brocade as much as possible. ”

Li Qianzhe didn't have Li Tai's far-sighted vision, and after hearing Li Tai say this, he slowly shook his head and said: "It's not that the last general is afraid of difficulties, it's just that the Shu people are especially heavy on rural capital, narrow and aggressive, if they don't negotiate with the Brazilian tribes, it may be difficult for foreign merchants to travel freely."

In the end, the old people had dealings with each other, and they heard that the disciples of various families were wandering the countryside and plundering in disguise as bandits. Today, it is difficult for me to escort the goods into Shu, whether the goods are safe or not are dependent on the other side of the country, and the border trade can still advance and retreat freely, and it is inevitable that the good luck and evil will be uncertain when walking deeply! ”

Li Tai was also a little speechless when he heard this, although the closed geographical environment in Shu is difficult to determine the direction of the general trend of the world, but if the powerful in its territory are just content with the countryside and live on their own one-third of an acre, then the stubbornness of these heroes is much stronger than that of other regions. For example, the Chen family, which began to toss during the Three Kingdoms period and is still very active today, is an example.

"In fact, if Lord Lang is not limited to the house of Zuojin, but only asks for Dasuo Shu Jin, it is not that there is no other way."

After a moment of silence, Li Qianzhe said again: "The reason why this transaction into Shu can be reached is because a villager from the other realm came forward to arbitrate and negotiate with both parties to make a price. His name is He Xihu, who was originally born in the Western Regions, and has become very rich in business for many years, and has since settled in Shuzhong.

Because he was familiar with the affairs of merchants and the prices of things and things, he was summoned by King Wuling to appoint Cangcao to join the army, in charge of the gold and silk trade in the house, known as the Xizhou Dajia, and his valuation was highly respected by the times. Because of its new house in Shuzhong, it has not yet accumulated a weaver. ”

Whether or not it can be made is not only a difference in the means of making a living, but also a sign of the status of the powerful people in Shu, such as whether the powerful families in other places have inherited the inheritance of the righteous family. Even if a certain family is ruined and destitute, it is still possible to turn over with several exclusive brocade samples.

"Although the Zhuzuo Jin family has its own slave labor, the number is always not as good as that of the Yizhou Prefecture. The weavers supervised by Chengdu alone reached tens of thousands, and it was also harvested by the state and county, and the treasury entered tens of thousands of horses every year. These brocade markets are easy to buy and sell, and the state lord is only inspecting the approximate, and the specific transactions are still upheld by the clerks.

He Xihu is also very fond of frosting sugar, because of his appreciation, he makes a high price, and Zhu Haoqiang also agrees. If you have to communicate with it, the pen and ink will be tens of thousands of brocade goods in and out, and it is naturally not difficult to complete the wish of the owner. ”

Hearing Li Qianzhe say this, Li Tai's eyes lit up. The reason why he was in a hurry to hoard a large amount of Shu brocade was to prevent the Taiwan government from seizing Shuzhong, relying on the high-quality commodity of Shu brocade and the cooperation of Longyouyu Wendao, to take away the dominance of Longyou's commerce and trade in one fell swoop.

Of course, it is best to be able to grasp the production source of Shu brocade in one fell swoop, but it still seems to be quite difficult now. After all, the production of Shu brocade has a long history, and a series of local orders related to interests have already been formed in Shuzhong, and it is difficult to do this with remote control command outside the country alone. Even if white sugar has a novelty and high price for a while, it is difficult to shake the pillar industry of Shuzhong.

Therefore, we can only settle for the next best thing, and affect the price trend of Shu brocade for a short time by hoarding and manipulating prices, so as to achieve our own goals. The idea put forward by Li Qianzhe is worth seriously conceiving and digging into.

"A few wealthy families in Brazil can continue to participate in business, but they need to send their children to use it. They needed to build a city on the border to receive goods and trade, and they would make a profit for every time they traded in the city. When the number of Shu brocades is traded, they can be taught how to boil sugar. ”

Li Tai said while thinking about it, since he can't get around these local heroes, he can only bundle interests. He doesn't mind sharing the profits with others, as long as he has a place to go, he will be able to come back one day.

"100,000 horses......

When Li Qianzhe heard this number, he couldn't help but stare in surprise, even 100,000 horses of silk is not a small number, let alone 100,000 horses!

Li Tai glanced at Li Qianzhe, who was making a fuss, how much is 100,000 Shu brocade? It is said that when the Shu Han Dynasty perished, there were still more than 200,000 horses of Shu brocade in the treasury, which was of course the result of the accumulation of the Shu Han regime for many years, but Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, had been in Shuzhong for many years, and it was estimated that there was no lack of accumulation in the treasury.

In the future, even if the Taiwan government captures Shuzhong, it will be difficult to immediately organize and restore the production of Shu brocade, so it is very important to empty the inventory in Shuzhong.

Although it is difficult to reach a large transaction of a single commodity in the short term, when it comes to strategic value and convenient transportation and storage, as well as its own market value and scarcity, white sugar is not far behind Shu Jin, and some places are even more victorious.

"After those mansions send in protons, they will deliver 1,000 catties every half month. Tell the Hu people He Xihu that if he can promote this trade, there will be a generous reward here, which can be extracted from Longyou and Shannan, or sent directly to Shuzhong. If you don't love goods, you can also send your children to do so, and I can use them in the palace or protect them to enter the court, and I will listen to them. ”

Today's Li Tai's signboard is also very bright, and the ministers of other countries are also open to buy, which can be described as full of temptation.

Of course, with such a large deal, it is impossible for him to completely rely on a subordinate official of the Hu people in Shuzhong, and he still has to make preparations with both hands: "If the parties to this negotiation refuse to cooperate, then directly send an envoy to Shuzhong to meet King Wuling and ask for mutual trade." If he doesn't allow it, I will cooperate with Jiangling to defend the river and trap it in Shuzhong! ”

The stronger the person, the more choices there are. The reason why Li Tai didn't want to directly send someone to Shuzhong to threaten Xiao Laoba was mainly because he didn't want to make his behavior of hollowing out the treasury of Shuzhong too exposed, otherwise when he manipulated the price of Shujin market in the coming day, it would inevitably be a little unsightly to have a bad face with the Taifu.
