After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Zexuan couldn't help but think that Old Cheng was still very principled in dealing with matters. If it wasn't his, he would definitely not snatch it, even if it was something very attractive.
"Uncle Cheng, actually …"
"Haha! Xiao Xuan, you don't have to persuade me anymore! Since this thing is a benefit that you're giving to your family, then this old man has no reason to meddle in it. Let's wait until next year! When the time comes, I'll send some farmers to your farm to learn and gain experience. Don't refuse! "
Li Zexuan opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Cheng Yaojin. Old Cheng's attitude was very firm.
Li Zexuan thought about it and said with a smile, "Haha, thank you Uncle Cheng for your understanding of my family's farmers. But actually, if you want to let the farmers of the Public House grow vegetables in greenhouses, you don't have to wait until next year. You just have to wait half a month!
At that time, the maturation period of the vegetables in our greenhouses will be staggered. Even if there is a small overlap, it won't have a big impact on my family's farmers! Besides, the stock of cloth in Chang 'an is getting tighter and tighter. After half a month, there will be a lot more, so Uncle Cheng, you can wait a little longer! "
Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and he said, "This really won't affect your farmers?"
Li Zexuan said, "It won't affect them much! Even if the maturation period of the vegetables overlaps, we can still use the waterway to transport the vegetables to other provinces and counties to sell! "
Using the waterway to transport vegetables was actually an option. In this era, Chang 'an had developed water transportation and benefited from the Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. From Chang' an, one could go straight to the south through the Grand Canal.
However, the preservation and consumption of vegetables during the transportation process was a big problem. Therefore, Li Zexuan didn't want to take this route unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, Chang 'an had a population of millions. This huge city could completely consume the vegetables in the greenhouses on his land. Besides, even if there was a certain amount of vegetables in the greenhouses, Li Zexuan wouldn't interfere personally. Didn't he have the Chamber of Commerce? The members of the Chamber of Commerce must be very envious of the vegetables in the greenhouses.
Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily and said, "Haha! If it really doesn't affect your farmers, then in half a month's time, the farmers of the Cheng Family will also start building greenhouses! By the way, how can Second Brother be left out of this kind of thing? This old man will tell him about this matter later. You won't mind, right? "
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Of course, I don't mind. Even if Uncle Cheng didn't say it, I would tell Uncle Qin about the vegetables in the greenhouses! Our three clans share weal and woe, and our fates are the same. Why should we draw such clear distinctions? "
In fact, if Cheng Yaojin didn't come today, Li Zexuan planned to go to the Qin Family tomorrow and ask Qin Qiong if he wanted to import the vegetables in the greenhouses. Qin Qiong was his wife's adoptive father. Usually, he treated Li Zexuan as his own son. Whenever Li Zexuan was in trouble, Qin Qiong would be the first to stand up for him. Moreover, he would always agree to Li Zexuan's requests unconditionally. For example, during the military training at the Academy, Qin Qiong didn't hesitate to accept Li Zexuan's invitation and come to the Academy to be a military training instructor for a month.
Therefore, whenever there was something good, Li Zexuan would definitely think of giving Qin Qiong a share.
As for Cheng Yaojin, of course, he treated Li Zexuan very well. Old Cheng was loyal and valued friendship. Many times when Li Zexuan was attacked, his behavior would be more violent and direct. Li Zexuan respected this old man very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Cheng Yaojin about the vegetables in the greenhouses today.
Cheng Yaojin looked deeply at Li Zexuan and said seriously, "Good! You are loyal and loyal. Chou Ox didn't misjudge you, and I didn't misjudge you either! But Xiao Xuan, don't worry. Second Brother Qin and I will never tell outsiders about the vegetables in the greenhouses. I will also tell the farmers in the village to keep it a secret! This winter, the vegetables in Chang 'an City will depend on us three families! Haha! Now we don't have to ask Her Majesty for vegetables! "
…
The next day.
"Cheer up. There will be a lot of people coming to buy cloth today. Be more diligent!"
Early in the morning, the owners of the Eastern and Western Cloth Shops lectured their workers at the same time. Their faces were full of confidence.
"Yes, yes, yes. Boss, don't worry!"
"Boss, how can you be so sure that there will be a lot of people coming to buy cloth today?"
One of the workers couldn't help but ask.
The boss smiled proudly. His face was full of a strategist's expression. He said, "Hmph! I received news that the cloth from Li Jicheng Clothing Shop and Cao Family Cloth Shop were sold out yesterday. Since no one is disrupting today, the people can only come back to sell our cloth that has increased in price! Hey! I have already mobilized five thousand bolts of white cloth from Fu Zhou yesterday. They should be here soon! Hahaha! "
"Shopkeeper, you're wise!"
The workers immediately flattered him.
The boss smiled and said, "Listen carefully. Today, the coarse cloth in our shop will be sold for three copper coins a bolt! Fine silk will be sold for five copper coins a bolt, and silk will be sold for ten copper coins a bolt! Don't sell it for less than one copper coin! "
Three copper coins a bolt. Compared to the previous price of three copper coins for two bolts, the price of the coarse cloth had increased by a whole fold!
"Boss, what if the other shops sell it at a lower price than us?"
A worker asked worriedly.
The boss narrowed his eyes and said firmly, "Hmph! I said three copper coins a bolt, and it will be three copper coins a bolt. Without the Marquis of Yong 'an and Cao Wendong causing trouble, the coarse cloth in Chang' an City today will only be sold at this price! Do you all understand? "
"Yes, we understand!"
… … …
Many times, greed could blind people. When a person's heart was filled with greed, then danger was not far away from that person!
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper! Not good! Not good! "
Eastern City, Liu Ji Cloth Shop.
The market had been open for an hour, but there was not a single transaction. There were people who came to look at the cloth and silk, but after hearing the high price, they all flinched! At first, the boss was not anxious at all. He felt that when the buyers realized that Li Jicheng Clothing Shop and Cao Family Cloth Shop did not have cheap cloth, they would definitely come back to buy their expensive cloth at a higher price.
But after an hour, there was still no one coming to buy the cloth. The boss in the shop could not sit still and hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the situation. After a quarter of an hour, the worker who went to inquire about the situation returned in a hurry, shouting as he ran.
The boss was immediately alerted. He quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"Huff, huff! Boss, not good. Cao Family Cloth Shop shipped a large batch of coarse cloth from somewhere today. Now, their shop's entrance is filled with cloth. There are at least tens of thousands of bolts! The commoners have all gone there to buy cloth! "
