"Oh?"

Zhao Chongming's eyes lit up and asked, "Is that really the case?"

"Of course. ”

Su Wei nodded and replied.

Qian Wenqing couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Then I don't know if I can hand over the distribution rights to the two of us?"

The population of the Southern Dynasties was huge, as many as tens of millions, and the cotton cloth they needed was naturally quite large. Even if you can only get a share of the land along the way, it is still a market of hundreds of thousands, which is enough to make anyone crazy about it.

After all, the two of them are not as pure as Yan Gongnan, Ma Shao and others, they just came to meet the interests of their own families, and they are not interested in the Confucianism and scholars in their mouths.

"Oh?"

Su Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, with a bit of scrutiny, and asked, "Then can you tell me why you want to hand it over to you?" After all, in the Song Dynasty, there should be many merchants like Er. In that case, why don't I give it to someone else?"

"This. ”

Zhao Chongming smiled awkwardly and continued to persuade: "If you talk about the price, my family is willing to buy it with the usual one." ”

"That's right, I don't know if you want to?" Qian Wenqing also emphasized.

"A consistent horse?"

After hearing this, Su Wei immediately laughed: "I have to say, you have a good calculation." You must know that in this Gangneung Mansion, if you want to buy a cotton cloth, you have to keep it at 300 Wen. If it is in places such as Lin'an, affected by the war, its price will definitely be more expensive. Just change hands a little, and you can earn at least 30% more from it. I have to say, you have a good abacus. ”

Of course, even a horse Suvi has always made money, because in Chang'an, the price of this cotton cloth has fallen by 600 Wen, just because the competition is too fierce, and the looms used to weave cotton cloth are also constantly improving.

From the beginning of the household loom that required manpower to propel, the number of spindles has developed to the current mechanical loom powered by steam engines and the number of spindles exceeds 100.

Almost with each passing day, the production cost of a cotton cloth continued to fall, which also led to the development of Chang'an's textile industry to a new level, and the large amount of cotton cloth produced also urgently needed to be sold to ensure that the textile mill could make enough profits and not go out of business.

The reason why Su Wei returned to Gangneung Province was precisely for this purpose, to gain more market and share for his textile factory.

Now that these two people came to the door automatically, Su Wei saved the time of finding someone, but he was unwilling to compromise like this, and still planned to continue to entangle himself in order to gain more benefits for himself.

Zhao Chongming was slightly embarrassed: "This." Wouldn't it take manpower and material resources to transport the cotton cloth everywhere? Moreover, it would take a lot of effort to set up officials at various checkpoints along the way. Just a little bit, it's already pretty good. ”

"That's right. Anyway, we have to make money, don't we? The price of a horse is already the cheapest. If it were someone else, at least it would have been a hundred times. Qian Wenqing said.

Don't look at this hundred, if the sales volume is hundreds of thousands of horses, it is tens of thousands of dollars, which is not a small amount.

Just by telling the market prices of various places from the other party, Zhao Chongming and Qian Wenqing already knew that the person in front of them was not the gentleman who could only drink and have fun, but a businessman who had really gone through the war in the shopping mall.

And so it is. ”

Su Wei nodded, and had no doubt about what Zhao Chongming said.

He is also a businessman, so he naturally knows the importance of logistics, if he is replaced by his own merchants to sell cotton cloth, just the ships and manpower that transport goods are enough headaches, not to mention the Yuan soldiers who may appear anytime and anywhere, if they are robbed by this group of Yuan soldiers, it will be a great loss.

But if he can get the help of Zhao Chongming and Qian Wenqing, then these problems will not be a problem.

Zhao Chongming looked at Su Wei with anticipation, and asked, "Then I don't know if you are willing?"

"And we also have a considerable foundation in the Jiangnan area, and we will definitely not owe you money. Qian Wenqing also opened his mouth and said.

The two of them are not ordinary small merchants and hawkers, but since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, they have always been entrenched in the Jiangnan generation of wealthy businessmen, and the business of cloth, silk and other businesses is also all over the territory.

"Well, this one!"

Su Wei dragged out his voice, Zhao Chongming and Qian Wenqing suddenly felt nervous, and looked at Su Wei deadly: "It's not impossible." It's just that in the current situation, I'm afraid that if we want to cooperate, we will also arouse the suspicion of others. ”

"Someone else's suspicion?"

Zhao Chongming was a little nervous, and he couldn't figure out what Su Wei meant.

Qian Wenqing also asked: "Who is the other person?"

"Who else could it be?" Su Wei sighed, and then said, "Naturally, it's Yan Gongnan and Ma Shao." If they found out what you two were up to, what do you think he would do to you? ”

"Hey, it's him!"

Seeing Su Wei mention this person, Zhao Chongming suddenly became annoyed, and scolded in a low voice: "I don't know what kind of madness this guy had, he actually fought against Xiao Shou just for the sake of the so-called scholars, and even deliberately delayed Zu Lu's time? ”

"That guy is also a guy who doesn't know the times. If it weren't for Prime Minister Xiao's efforts to turn the tide, how could we have such a peaceful and harmonious life? But they are good, and they actually want to go against Prime Minister Xiao? Qian Wenqing did not hide his disdain, and opened his mouth to scold.

Looking at the appearance of the two, it seems that they are quite bored with Yan Gongnan and Ma Shao.

Su Wei smiled, "In that case, then why don't you abandon the darkness and follow the light?"

"This. ”

Zhao Chongming felt a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Isn't it to prevent being harassed by others? After all, there are many powerful people, and if you can join them, you will naturally be able to avoid being harassed by others." For us businessmen, there is nothing more important than safety. ”

Qian Wenqing also hurriedly explained: "Of course, it's different now. With Prime Minister Xiao's protection, we will naturally abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and we will never follow behind that person. ”

"Haha. Really?"

Su Wei chuckled, but he didn't trust the two of them very much.

After all, they are only meeting for the first time, and even if they maintain a harmonious appearance on the surface, the gap between them still exists and will not disappear.

Zhao Chongming also felt that he was a little too anxious, and complained: "This, but I don't know what I need to do to believe it?"

"What do you think?"

Su Wei was still smiling, staring at the two of them as if he had shown it.

Zhao Chongming and Qian Wenqing were stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You mean about the councilor's review clause?" Seeing that the other party nodded, his face showed a little worry: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

"Why?" asked Suvi.

Zhao Chongming sighed, and then explained: "It's not a secret. We also have doubts about the conditions for the congressman's review, and we did not raise objections at the beginning. It's just that there are many scholars who agree, so the two of us are helpless. If you want the two of us to help you repeal that ordinance, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. ”

Although the two of them are also scholars, after all, they also have the experience of businessmen, so they naturally understand the limitations of Confucianism, and the so-called audit regulations do not mean much to them, but the Chang'an Councilor proposed it better.

If they just pay taxes, they pay not a small number of taxes, so it is naturally easier to obtain parliamentarian status.

"Nine hundred and fifty wen!how?"

Looking at the two of them quietly, Su Wei spat out a word from his mouth.

"Nine hundred and fifty?"

Zhao Chongming was slightly stunned in his heart, and immediately understood that this price was about the price of cotton cloth, and if it dropped by fifty yuan, the money that could be earned was obviously greater. He took a deep breath, and then said, "Eight hundred Wen! If it drops to eight hundred Wen, I am willing to help you with this." ”

"If that's the case, then I'll lose money. It's not as good as 900 wen. Su Wei laughed.

Because of the latest steam-powered looms, the cost of his family's cotton cloth dropped to 580 yuan.

Zhao Chongming's heart was crossed, and then he replied: "Okay, then nine hundred wen." It's just that his eyebrows are still a little apprehensive, and he said: "It's just that if you really want me to help you repeal the ordinance, I'm afraid it's still difficult." After all, except for us, the rest of the clan still agreed with this regulation. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Su Wei waved his hand and replied, "I don't think that this regulation can be abolished in a moment. It's just that I need the two of you to be able to take a stand. ”

"If that's the case, that's not bad. ”

Zhao Chongming and Qian Wenqing condensed their minds and looked at Su Wei deadly, until now the two of them knew that the other party's mind was not pure, and the reason why they revealed their identity as cloth merchants was only for this purpose, so that the two of them could help him do things.

"That's right. Just a statement. It means that you two have doubts about the ordinance and think that it is not really useful. Su Wei laughed.

Zhao Chongming pondered for a moment, and then asked, "That's it, is it okay?"

"Of course. Su Wei replied.

Zhao Chongming replied thoughtfully: "If it's just like this, then the two of us can help so much." But let me warn you that it is very difficult to convince them by such means. After all, among those scholars, there are only a few people like me and Qian Wenqing. ”

The dialogue has reached this level, how can Zhao Chongming not know the purpose of Su Wei?

However, Zhao Chongmin and Qian Wenqing didn't have much interest in Confucianism, scholars and the like, so they naturally discarded them directly and chose to seek more benefits for their families.

If they can grasp the distribution rights of Chang'an cotton cloth, the wealth they control will naturally be able to go to a higher level.

"I naturally understand this, and I don't need to be reminded of it. Su Wei replied with a smile, the corners of his mouth also curled a little, since he had buried a chess piece in the opponent, there was naturally a possibility of success in the future, as for when he could succeed, it still depended on time.
