Chapter 260 Cotton Cloth Purchase Limit
The estimation of many fish is not wrong, Cai Ze came back from Baiyue at the end of the month, and brought back boxes of Dongzhu, all kinds of furs, and greetings from the big family.
"There are many tribes in Baiyue, spanning seven or eight thousand miles from Jiaozhi to Huiji, each with its own caste, mixed with each other. Its geographical environment is complex, many ethnic groups live together, and they are brave and good at fighting, if we attack easily, I am afraid that we will suffer a big loss. ”
Cai Ze was darkened by the sea breeze, but the whole person was more tenacious and heroic.
Cai Ze strung the best east beads into a bead curtain and gave them to many fish: "Thanks to a trip to Baiyue, otherwise it would ......"
The invincibility of the sea ships has made the self-confidence of the people of Bashu County unprecedentedly inflated.
Even the cautious Cai Ze, in the face of the huge advantage of sea ships, inevitably has the arrogance of all countries in the world.
Until this time, he went to Baiyue, which was like a slap in the face, and made him sober up.
"Nujun, you should be cautious about Baiyue." Cai Ze said worriedly.
This is not something that can be swallowed by a single Bashu County, at least not by relying solely on the blade.
Many fish nodded heavily: "I know, thank you for your hard work." ”
Historically, after Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it took three full three times and nearly ten years to pacify Baiyue.
For the first time, an army of 500,000 troops was sent, and the troops were divided into five routes, but only the attack on Dongou and Minyue was very smooth. The other four roads were affected by the geographical environment, and the progress was slow, and finally paid the price of "hundreds of thousands of corpses and bleeding", beating Baiyue to less than 6,000 people.
The second time, 100,000 was requisitioned, and the first 100,000 was requisitioned again, and this time it was successful.
The third time was a small-scale war that focused on pacifying the Ou camels and supplemented by war.
Although history can be used as a mirror, many fish cannot spend their precious human resources on the southern expedition to Baiyue.
At the very least, before the Qin State destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it was still necessary to focus on trade wars to intensify their internal contradictions and weaken their strength.
Many fish held a reception banquet for Cai Ze, and introduced Shi Tao and merchants to Cai Ze, and after the banquet, all the work was carried out in an all-round way.
The goods brought back by Cai Ze were very popular, and in less than half a decade, they were sold out, and Guang Shibao and Shang Xi bought one-third.
This round trip, Cai Ze made a lot of profits, and the sailors on the sea ship also gained a wave of fat.
They decided to take a short break and continue to run Baiyue, striving to develop this route into a fixed route.
"A boatload of linen from the Textile Bureau! And Shu brocade! Cai Ze was rich and wealthy, and directly talked to Mao Xue about large transactions.
Mao Xue smiled and said: "There is not enough for one boat, only half a boat." ”
Cai Ze sighed lightly: "Your Textile Bureau still needs to work hard!" Capacity can't keep up with how fast we're expanding. ”
Mao Xue replied softly: "You are right. Next year we will mass-produce cotton cloth, which is softer and warmer than linen, don't you plan to come a little? ”
Cai Ze laughed: "The land of Baiyue is further south than us, and it is hot and humid all year round. ”
Mao Xue said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Hey, you just came back, it may not be clear." The Stargazing Bureau predicts that the winter temperatures will be lower in the next two years. ”
"Stargazing Bureau?"
"Our arable land in Bashu is getting more and more year by year, and we will plant cotton next year. Farming is to watch the sky and eat, Ding'an Jun's daughter is looking for people who understand the stars and climate, and set up a stargazing bureau. ”
Cai Ze frowned, looking fierce: "The female monarch has been fooled?" ”
Mao Xue disagreed: "At least a few heavy rains, the stargazing bureau predicted it." Cotton cloth is a key plan in the county, and it can't be sold out in a year, but it can be stored for several years. What's more, if the south side can't be sold, isn't there still the north side? ”
Cai Ze: "Want a deposit? ”
"Yes, a deposit." Mao Xue took out the bill and prepared to issue the bill.
Cai Ze bared his teeth and grinned: "That is, in Bashu, it is a habit to pay a deposit." If you change to other places, you can't be afraid that the merchant will take the money and run away? ”
Mao Xue smiled: "If you don't say it, this is a unique Bashu." ”
Unlike Cai Ze, who was skeptical of cotton cloth, Shi Pawn Tao and Shang Xi were full of confidence in cotton cloth and directly took away all the stocks of many fish.
Many fish themselves were reluctant to wear cotton clothes, and brought all the cotton cloth from the newbie gift package to Chu State.
After the state of Chu moved its capital, the nobles who originally lived in the capital were extremely unsuitable for the climate of the new capital.
Wearing silk clothes is afraid of the cold, and wearing fur clothes is too hot. In the rainy season, the air is damp and sticky, and the whole person feels like being soaked in water, which is very uncomfortable.
Coupled with the wide sleeves and hem, the cold wind poured in, and it was useless to wear several layers of clothes.
The Chu people are also very polite, and the king of Chu has to bathe and change clothes and tidy up his demeanor before he dies.
The cotton cloth brought by Shishu Tao and Shang Xi just made up for their needs and was unanimously sought after by the nobles of Chu State.
"My lord, it's not that we don't want to sell it, it's that cotton cloth is really limited! The entire cotton cloth of Bashu has been purchased by us! The soldier Tao hunched over and apologized to the steward sent by the feudal lords.
This purchase restriction is unbelievable.
The nobles of the Chu people have been in love with soft and sturdy fabrics, and now when they hear it, the whole Bashu is this bit of cotton cloth, which is not allowed to be snapped up? No one has me, isn't this just a row?
There are some people of insight who try to stop this unhealthy trend: "The market price of linen cloth is 500 yuan a horse, and the market price of silk cloth is 200 yuan. No matter how comfortable the cotton is, it shouldn't be fried to 1 gold horse! This will only weaken the state of Chu and make the state of Qin stronger and stronger. ”
In this regard, the nobles of the Chu State, especially those who practice martial arts, have something to say: "Cotton absorbs sweat, and after I wear it, even practicing martial arts is much more comfortable, and practicing martial arts is more frequent." Wearing cotton clothes only makes me stronger! ”
"That's it! Even the feudal monarch and the monarch have a cotton cloth coat in their hands, do you want to say that they are treasonous? ”
"You don't want to be unaffordable, just say that cotton is not good. The quality of the linen cloth there is also high, and it is good to wear linen. ”
"One gold coin can weaken the state of Chu? You're too alarmist. That's right, maybe you won't be able to earn a single gold coin in your life. ”
The morale of the insightful was anxious, and he auctioned out a bag of gold coins: "Can I be short of money?!" ”
"Ah, that's if you can't grab cotton with money. Tsk, that's pathetic. It doesn't matter, Shu brocade is also extremely exquisite. ”
"Hehe, I wear cotton clothes inside and Shu brocade outside, I see that the feudal monarchs do this."
Men of insight!
The reputation of cotton cloth and Shu brocade, through this controversy, directly spread to other vassal states.
Han and Zhao, although their national strength was weak, did not prevent the nobles from traveling thousands of miles to send people to buy cotton cloth. You can't buy cotton cloth, and it's good to buy some Shu brocade.
Where there is money to be made, there are merchants.
Cotton cloth is not easy to obtain, can Shu brocade not be imitated? However, I don't know which hero is in charge of the Bashu County Textile Bureau, and there is no limit to the lack of morality!
They actually used dark lines to weave a sickle flag pattern in an inconspicuous place in Shu brocade!
However, this group of nobles of the vassal states recognized Shu Jin! People who don't know still think that these nobles are all from Bashu County!
