September of the sixteenth year of Jian'an.

It's autumn harvest season again.

The faces of the people from all over Dawei were filled with happy smiles.

Since the Hou Lin Immortal Master of Hanzhong came to Great Wei, the people of Great Wei have basically never starved again.

Even in the prefectures and counties that were affected by the disaster last year, there were no large-scale desertions and popular uprisings.

In a small number of areas that were really badly affected, the local people also moved their entire villages to the less affected areas with the help of the government and the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.

The people are grateful to Lord Hanzhong Hou.

And now the people of the Great Wei Dynasty basically use iron farming tools, whether it is farming or harvesting, it is much less labor-saving than before.

In addition to planting grain, the people are also very willing to plant cotton promoted by the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.

This year's cotton cloth price should be 20% lower than last year.

Liu Ba, who is in Hanzhong, also received reports from the treasurers of the branches in various places, and the cotton output in various places has been greatly improved.

"Lord Hou of Hanzhong, the promotion plan of Youzhou cotton clothes and quilts can be started!"

Liu Ba took the letters from the shopkeepers of the branches in various places and said excitedly to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan also nodded in agreement:

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to Zichu to be responsible for, and you will have to work hard to go to Youzhou again."

"Lord Hanzhong Hou laughed, this is within the next division!"

Liu Ba, who received the order, quickly finished arranging the affairs at hand and set off for the Youzhou branch.

Youzhou Branch.

Shopkeeper Zhao is arranging the matters explained by Liu Ba.

Before Liu Ba left, he had already sent a letter to the shopkeeper Zhao, telling the shopkeeper Zhao to do a good job in the production of cotton clothes and quilts.

Shopkeeper Zhao, who received Liu Ba's instructions, immediately went to the Youzhou production base and instructed the production base, which had been expanded to six, and now began to produce cotton clothes and quilts with all its might.

In the cotton harvesting work in Youzhou, Cheng Yu also mobilized a part of Youzhou soldiers to help.

A steady stream of cotton is made into cotton quilts in the Youzhou production base.

The first batch of cotton clothes and quilts were sent to the Youzhou army, and after the soldiers and cavalry received the brand new cotton clothes and quilts, they were all grateful to Hou Linchuan of Hanzhong.

With this cotton clothes and quilt, I believe that there will never be any soldiers in the Youzhou army who are severely frostbitten.

After Shopkeeper Zhao completed the supply of cotton clothes and quilts to the Youzhou army, Liu Ba also came to the Youzhou branch.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but my demeanor is still the same, hahaha!"

Liu Ba saw the red-faced shopkeeper Zhao and stepped forward and said enthusiastically.

Shopkeeper Zhao was also very happy to see Liu Ba again, and happily stepped forward to take Liu Ba's hand and said:

"Liu Dacai is a real demeanor, even better than in the past! With Lord Liu personally sitting in the Youzhou branch, Lao Zhao's heart was completely in my stomach. ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they went to the Youzhou branch together.

After having dinner together, Liu Ba began to understand the current situation of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce in detail.

Shopkeeper Zhao also knows everything, and he has endless words.

"Lord Liu, now the Youzhou branch has six production bases, and is currently making every effort to produce cotton clothes and quilts!"

"The cotton clothes and quilts needed in the Youzhou army have all been delivered to Lord Cheng before you go to the Youzhou branch, Lord Liu."

After listening to Shopkeeper Zhao's report, Liu Ba knew that Shopkeeper Zhao had completed the affairs arranged by him before coming to Youzhou very well.

So Liu Ba smiled and said to Shopkeeper Zhao:

"It's hard work for the shopkeeper Zhao, with the cooperation of the shopkeeper Zhao, the task assigned by Lord Hou of Hanzhong this time will definitely be successfully completed!"

When Shopkeeper Zhao heard Liu Ba's affirmation of his work, he also smiled and was modest.

Then Liu Ba asked Shopkeeper Zhao what he was most concerned about:

"Shopkeeper Zhao, now the Xianbei Kebi Neng Department and the Xianbei Budu Root are in the market with the Great Wei, please tell me in detail about the specific situation."

Shopkeeper Zhao saw Liu Ba's extremely serious attitude towards this matter, and knew that this should be the task assigned to Liu Ba by Lord Hou of Hanzhong.

So Shopkeeper Zhao thought carefully again in his heart, and after confirming that there was no omission, he said to Liu Ba:

"Lord Liu, now the Xianbei Kebi Energy Department purchases the most grain and cotton cloth, and the same is true for the roots of Xianbei Budu!"

"The grain is mainly potatoes and sweet potatoes, and cotton cloth is still purchased more by Kebi Energy."

"I think this winter will be much colder than usual, and I have confirmed with many people who come to the Chamber of Commerce to buy products that this year's winter is definitely colder than ever!"

"Therefore, it is inferred that Kebineng and Budugen focused on grain and cotton cloth in the mutual market, and they were also afraid that their clansmen would not survive this cold winter......"

Then Shopkeeper Zhao told Liu Ba in detail the amount of grain and cloth purchased by Kebineng and Budugen.

In today's Youzhou, if you want to buy a large amount of grain and cotton cloth, you can only go through the Youzhou branch, so as long as the shopkeeper Zhao counts the procurement data of the Youzhou commercial bank managers who participate in the mutual market in the Youzhou branch, he can calculate the purchase quantity of Xianbei people.

After listening to Shopkeeper Zhao's report, Liu Ba couldn't help but sigh to Shopkeeper Zhao:

"This is God helping my Youzhou Branch, this time the cotton clothes and quilts will definitely be able to exchange a lot of war horses for Dawei!"

Shopkeeper Zhao was also very excited when he heard Liu Ba's emotion, what he, the shopkeeper of the Youzhou branch, did not only benefit the people of Youzhou, but also helped the entire Great Wei.

Liu Ba, who fully understood the situation of the Youzhou branch and the mutual market, went to Cheng Mansion to visit Cheng Yu again with gifts.

When Cheng Yu saw Liu Ba coming to the door, he knew that this time the Youzhou branch was going to make a big move, and the only curiosity was that there was no rumor that the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce was going to promote new products before Liu Ba arrived.

"Zichu, it's been more than a year since I said goodbye last time, and the old man misses it very much!"

"Thank you, Master Cheng, I am very happy to listen to Master Cheng's teachings again."

After Cheng Yu and Liu Ba exchanged a few words, Liu Ba took Lin Chuan's arrangement out of the fold.

"Please, Lord Cheng, prepare enough forage and field to prepare to receive this batch of horses."

Liu Ba said very confidently to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu laughed happily, and then said:

"Hahaha, Zichu doesn't have to worry, the more horses, the better, hahaha!"

After Liu Ba returned to the Youzhou branch, the promotion of cotton clothes and cotton cloth officially began in the Youzhou branch.

After hearing the news, the shopkeeper of the Youzhou Commercial Bank who participated in the mutual market immediately blocked the entire Youzhou branch!

Three days later, a cotton coat and a quilt were delivered to the frowning Kebineng.

"This、This is bought from Youzhou?!"

Kebi could feel the thick and warm cotton clothes and quilts, and asked a Xianbei merchant in a very excited tone.

The Xianbei merchant hurriedly said to Kebineng:

"Lord Khan, I bought it from the merchants of Youzhou, and the new goods just arrived today!"

Kebineng, who was worried about how to lead his clan through this cold winter, had already made up his mind at this time:

"I want all the cotton clothes and quilts sold by the merchants in Youzhou!"
