There are many family forces in Yunzhou City, but the strongest of them are only the four major families, the four families of Chen, Wang, Sun, and Li.

The four major families monopolized several of the most important trade channels in Yunzhou City.

The Chen family has the largest grain channel, the Wang family has the largest iron channel, the Sun family has the largest salt sales channel, and the Li family has the most important firewood and cloth channels for Yunzhou.

Located in the north, Yunzhou has more than four months of winter, accounting for more than a quarter of the four seasons of the year.

Simply relying on herders to collect and burn the dung of cattle and sheep at home is not enough to warm the whole winter.

In the past four months, the Li family's cloth and firewood have become the only way for the herdsmen to survive in winter.

Every winter, many of the cattle, sheep and horses raised by the herdsmen throughout the year are sold to the Li family in exchange for enough firewood and thick cloth for the family to survive the winter.

This year is no different.

As soon as the snow fell overnight, the herdsmen who had lived on the grassland since they were children understood that the long winter had come, and those who were prepared had prepared firewood and cloth early, while those who had just reacted immediately led their cattle, sheep and horses to Yunzhou City, found the Li family's trading house, and lined up in exchange for the required materials.

From a distance, you can see a long queue at the door of the Li family firm, leading all kinds of herdsmen from the door of the Li family firm in Dongcheng to the north city, and there are still herdsmen joining it.

The various cries of cattle, sheep and horses rise and fall in Yunzhou City, which adds some excitement to Yunzhou City in this winter.

If it was usual, Li Xuanji, the head of the Li family, would have been smiling since he saw this scene, thinking about how much silver he could earn this year.

But now, he is like an ant on a hot pot, so anxious that he keeps walking back and forth, and he can't stop at all.

"How so! How so! How dare they! Aren't they afraid of offending our Li family?

Even if they don't give me face, don't they actually give me face from the main line?

It's over! It's over! What am I going to do! What to do!!! ”

If you want to say how Li Xuanji became like this, you have to talk about the Li family's business, although the Li family is the largest firewood merchant and cloth merchant in Yunzhou City, but the main line of the Li family was not originally engaged in these two kinds of business, since grabbing the qualification to do business in Yunzhou City, the Li family has always relied on doing business with familiar suppliers to ensure the sufficient supply of firewood and cloth.

Originally, everything was fine, but a few days ago, when the Li family's guys went to pick up the goods from the supplier in the customs, the supplier couldn't provide the goods!

According to them, there was a big trading house that had bought all their inventory a long time ago, and now there was not a single piece of firewood or cloth in their warehouse!

Hearing this, the Li family naturally didn't follow, we signed a supply contract with you early, you didn't leave us enough goods but sold all the goods to others, aren't you violating the contract?

However, what the Li family didn't expect was that the supplier's side was even more bullish, and they directly said, isn't it a breach of contract?

We will give you liquidated damages, and three times the liquidated damages will be given to the Li family without hesitation.

immediately confused the Li family.

Later, when I inquired, I found out that the big trading house that had purchased all the inventory of their supplier had emptied the supplier's goods at a full five times the price!

It's no wonder that the supplier is so indifferent to the breach of contract, after all, there is money to make and shudder, isn't it a breach of contract? After giving the liquidated damages, the rest also made them earn a lot more than in previous years!

The more the Li family thought about it, the more angry they became, and they directly used the Li family's own family to pressure the supplier, and the suppliers were not cowardly, and they were able to provide so many goods to the Li family, and there was no one behind them.

As far as the Li family is concerned, it is not enough for them to be afraid.

In desperation, the Li family, who was anxious to find a replacement, searched all the surrounding firms that could supply goods.

As a result, all the comptoirs that were able to supply in large quantities were emptied of their stocks, and there was not even a bit of scum left.

In desperation, the Li family could only find those small trading houses, and they didn't believe that the big trading houses could buy and sell all the firewood and cloth

Sure enough, under the tireless search of the Li family, they obtained certain commodities in the hands of those small commercial firms, but these commodities can only be said to be insignificant compared to the huge demand in Yunzhou County.

It is estimated that it will be consumed in less than a week.

But the time has come here, and the Li family can only bite the bullet and start selling.

But the rapid depletion of inventory made Li Xuanji, the head of the Li family, angry and angry.

Just when Li Xuanji was in a hurry, there was a sudden shouting of the people in the family outside.

"The head of the house! Head of the house! Good news! Good news! Find the big trading house that has sold out all the firewood and cloth! ”

Li Xuanji's spirit suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he immediately ran quickly in the direction where the voice came from.

Soon I ran into a guy in the hallway who was running over panting while shouting.

Li Yuanji immediately grabbed the guy's arm and couldn't wait to ask, "Who is it!" Who the hell is it! Which comptoir emptied all the inventory?! So the plan is against our Li family! ”

That's right, Li Xuanji decided that this big trading house was deliberately targeting the Li family, after all, he hadn't heard that other places in the Great Song Dynasty needed so much firewood and cloth, let alone deliberately buying this piece of goods at five times the price!

This is deliberately targeting their Li family!

The cold sweat from the pain of the guy was pinched, but he didn't dare to exhale in pain, so he had to endure the pain and said: "After many inquiries, the little one finally learned that it turned out that the one who sold all the firewood and cloth near Yunzhou County was actually Feiyun Commercial Bank!" ”

"Feiyun Firm?!"

Li Xuanji was immediately shocked, he knew that this Feiyun Commercial Bank was a big commercial firm that suddenly rose a few years ago, and it operated some rare luxury goods, such as glass mirrors, perfumes and other top luxury goods, and the name of Feiyun Commercial Bank may not be very loud for the people.

But in the upper circles of the Great Song Dynasty, the name of this trading house is famous!

Every year on the fifteenth day of January, the Bianjing auction is even more full, and there are amazing peerless treasures every time, and this year's colorful glazed birthday star statue is sold for a million yuan!

It is said that it was taken down by a certain big man in the imperial family and was to be presented on the 80th birthday of the Queen Mother.

According to the estimation of the annual income of the entire Feiyun Commercial Bank, it is around nearly 10 million guan, and the annual treasury income of the Great Song Dynasty is only about 130 million guan, so you can imagine how terrifying the profits of this Feiyun commercial bank are!

Of course, this kind of trading house with terrible income is not that no one has ever made up its mind, but what is surprising is that so far, no force has successfully forced out the hole cards of this trading house, and every time they stretched out their hands, they were cleanly cut off by someone, and there was no way to insert their hands into the trading house.

Slowly, everyone also knew that there must be a terrifying background behind this firm, and gradually no one dared to hit the head of Feiyun Firm anymore.

But now, such a terrifying trading house actually targeted their Li family and deliberately targeted the Li family like this, which made the cold sweat behind Li Xuanji seep out instantly, and he didn't understand where his Li family had offended Feiyun Commercial Bank.

So much so that Feiyun Commercial Bank, such a terrifying big trading house, actually became the opponent of their Li family!

This is really lying down and suffering two feet, pure and innocent disaster!
