Zhao Mansion.

Facing it was a three-foot tall brown gate, and directly above it was the plaque of the Zhao Mansion.

It is also a mansion, and the Zhao Mansion with only one gate is a few points more noble than the palace with three gates.

"Childe, I'll knock on the door." Lin Qing completely regarded himself as a servant.

Lin Yan nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

Knocking the brass knocker of the Zhao Mansion, a crack opened in the small house inside: "Who?" ”

Lin Qing's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant: "Yunzhou Mansion arrested Lin Qing quickly and came to visit the head of the Zhao family." ”

Seeing that it was a quick catch, the little guy didn't have a better attitude: "Look for my master to do something." ”

Lin Yan also came to the door and stuffed some copper coins to the little guy: "I'm tired of reporting it." ”

The little servant swept the copper coin twice, and the copper coin in his hand spread out, and there were about fifty words: "Wait at the door, my lord may not see you." ”

The door closed again, leaving Lin Lan and Lin Qing to look at each other.

Lin Qing sighed: "It's hard to do things without money. ”

Lin Lan smiled: "Mo Qi, when we have money, I will change you to a golden leg." ”

Golden legs! Lin Qing's eyes glowed with gold, as if he thought of how majestic his wooden legs were when they were replaced with golden legs.

Invulnerable!

It took a long time for the little guy to report, and it took almost a stick of incense to come back and reply: "My uncle is far away, and the second master is at home." ”

Lin Lan took some copper coins and gave them to the little guy: "Thank you for the report." ”

After receiving Lin Lan's money twice, the little girl's attitude is much better: "The master is in charge, and the second master can also sit in charge of some things." ”

The two followed the little guy to a side courtyard, where there was a lot of fat powder, and a fat man hugged left and right, chewing the lychee peeled by the beauty in his mouth.

"Second master, the two of them have arrived."

Zhao Zhong didn't even glance at Lin Lan: "Errand, it's really unlucky, if you have a fart, you can let it go." ”

Lin Qing's eyes were slightly red, and his hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, as long as Lin Lan had something to say, he would immediately give Zhao Zhong a punishment.

Lin Yan took half a step back and pressed his back against Lin Qing: "The original arrest of the Yamen has become a bandit, and the garrison of Yunzhou Mansion has been empty recently, and my lord asked me to remind the shopkeeper." ”

The lychee core in Zhao Zhong's mouth almost spit on Lin Yuan's face: "Hey, there is something in Yunzhou City that has anything to do with my Zhao Mansion, you are the new head catcher who wants to rely on this matter to get in touch with my Zhao family." ”

"Heh, any clown who jumps off the beam dares to come to my Zhao family to ask for silver."

Lin Mian just sneered: "Where is the matter, the errand sent by the adults has been done, don't be angry." ”

The woman beside Zhao Zhong also added fuel to the fire: "It's really anyone who dares to come to Zhao Mansion to stretch out his hand, and those who don't know still think that there is no one above us, so it's easy to bully!" ”

Zhao Zhong waved his hand impatiently: "Boom out." ”

Lin and the two retired.

Out of the Zhao Mansion, Lin Qing scolded and scolded: "Childe, he is just a businessman covered in copper smell, what qualifications do you have to compare with Childe." ”

Lin Yan smiled: "Go to Xu's house." ”

Attitude determines everything, just by virtue of Zhao Zhong's attitude towards himself, Lin Lan already understands that it is wrong to say more.

Once the word of cooperation came out, Zhao Zhong would say that he was lying to him without even thinking about it.

Lin Lan didn't want to look for this.

The Zhao family was no longer able to cooperate, and Lin Lan went to the Xu family.

The way to enter the door was the same as that of the Zhao Mansion, and the copper coins were given twice, and the person who received Lin Luo in the Xu Mansion was a young man named Xu Zihang, the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Xu family.

Xu Zihang did not look down on the two because of their identities, and mainly invited them to take a seat: "Grandpa and father are both in the Northern Capital, and I am in charge of the affairs of the family, so the two of them don't have to be formal." ”

Lin Lan drank the tea of the Xu family and chatted with the same words: "There was an accident in the Yamen before, and many people went to the grass to be coquettish, and I came to remind the Xu family on the orders of adults." ”

Xu Zihang immediately beckoned to his subordinates: "The two of you have worked hard, and I hope you don't want to refuse." ”

The maid came up with a wooden plate, covered with dozens of taels of silver.

Lin Yan took the broken silver and put it aside: "Thank you Xu Gongzi for your kindness, I'll leave here." ”

Xu Zihang got up to see off the guests, politely: "The Xu family still has some nursing homes, and the government can inform them of something, and the thieves must not be allowed to enter Yunzhou City." ”

Lin Lan glanced at Lin Qing and didn't get up: "There is one more thing, I also have some cloth business, I got some news, and I want to tell Xu Gongzi." ”

Xu Zihang was quite surprised, but he didn't expect Lin Lan to suddenly pull on the cloth: "Lin Zhutou, please speak." ”

"Your mansion is collecting silk like other cloth merchants, right?" Lin Lan pulled the raw silk lightly.

Xu Zihang sat down again: "Now that it is the season of silk harvesting, the price of raw silk has risen a lot, and the Xu Mansion has more than 2,000 cloth shops in the Wu Dynasty, so naturally a large amount of raw silk is needed. ”

Lin Lan stared at Xu Zihang intently: "I want to ask the Xu family in Yunzhou to stop collecting silk and sell all the silk in their hands." ”

"Oh?" Xu Zihang was surprised on his face, but he didn't understand: "It's the season of silk harvesting now, and after summer, people will buy new cloth to make clothes." ”

Lin Lan was very satisfied with Xu Zihang, and after listening to it, the other party did not feel that he was unreasonable.

"Dare to ask Xu Gongzi, what if linen can make clothes?"

Xu Zihang still didn't understand what Lin Lan meant: "Hemp can make clothes since ancient times, but the process is complex and time-consuming, so it is not as convenient as buying cloth." ”

Lin Lan finally revealed the mystery: "If the sackcloth is faster than the speed of silk!" ”

Xu Zihang's eyes rolled a few times, and Lin Lan, as a head catcher, would never say these words for no reason: "If a large amount of linen cloth enters Yunzhou, the price must be cheap." ”

"No one has ever collected hemp in large quantities and been able to collect it at a very low price. There are countless taxes of all kinds in our Wu Dynasty, and if there is cheap cloth, silk will be abandoned. ”

Xu Zihang didn't dare to think that if there was cheap cloth, the Xu family, as an imperial businessman, would be able to save a lot of expenses.

"But how can hemp be made into cloth so quickly! And what does it have to do with the current harvest? ”

There is no need for Lin Lan to hide it anymore: "Tomorrow, a large amount of linen cloth will enter Yunzhou, Xu Gongzi guess what kind of situation this matter will develop?" ”

Xu Zihang couldn't sit still, as the grandson of the Xu family, he could naturally see the future of this matter.

There really was a day when everyone in the Wu Dynasty wore silk or silk and only a small number of people were willing to buy it.

The Xu family must be pulled onto the ship, and the ship will be stable.

Lin Lan stood up: "I have a loom that weaves hemp into cloth, and I have taken back all the hemp from the five cities, so I came to persuade Xu Gongzi not to collect silk." ”

Xu Zihang realized that he was out of shape, and quickly sat down and drank two sips of tea: "What is the surname of this adult?" ”

"Lin Lan!"

Secretly wrote down Lin Lan's name, Xu Zihang smiled happily: "Say what the son wants to say!" ”

Lin Lan stood up with a firm expression: "I want to pull up the entire Xu family, Xu Gongzi will send people out now, and the Xu family shops in various parts of the Wu Dynasty will start to collect hemp." ”

"The Xu family has to receive all the hemp in order to hold this business firmly."

"In the next few days, I want Wu Dynasty to be hemp-free!"
