Chapter 278 Snow

In just half a month, the brown price in Qingzhou and Pingzhou has risen by more than 20%, and the supply is still in short supply.

In the meantime, Mei Baoqing's steward Lao Fang collected nearly ten cars of Mao Brown, which were handed over by the Wang family, the Lu family and the Tao family. They were clean and magnificent. They transported them out of Pingzhou City with great fanfare and sent them to the north. At the same time, many merchants heard the news and poured into Pingzhou and Qingzhou to prepare a piece of the pie.

Lu Shao's first business was completed. His wallet was bulging and he was happy. He proudly reported to Mr. Lu. After getting the praise of Mr. Lu, he energetically invested all the money he earned, continued to grab the hair brown with the Wang and Tao families, and even went to the home of the person Lin Shiquan had agreed earlier and Brown, how much it costs... and grab the skilled weaver at a high price, which has made full capital for the construction of a woolen weaver workshop.

Speaking of this woolen workshop, it is not too difficult to build. The Lu family has a lot of ready-made houses. It is agreed with the government to make a spacious yard, looms, weavers, and raw materials in order to start construction.

Lu Shao is capable, energetic and energetic. He has made enough effort to produce the first batch of exquisite woven gold and brown in just 20 days. Although the number is not large, it is a living signboard. With this batch of wool brown, he and Lao Fang agreed that before February next year, he would hand over a thousand top-class woven gold to carry huā wool brown, and the two sides signed the deed according to the rules. Lao Fang has high requirements for quality, and the price he gives him is naturally not low, but in the same way, if he breaches the contract, the price he wants to pay is still not low.

Everything went smoothly. It seemed to be perfect. Lu Shao walked with his clothes. Not to mention the Lu family, he was also a popular figure in the whole Pingzhou city. For a while, he was unparalleled, and he wanted to occupy all the Mao Brown business in Pingzhou and Qingzhou. But as long as it is profitable, others will naturally not let him be satisfactory.

The Wang family and several small households did not have a good background. They could not afford to provoke him to deal with the goods in his hand and quickly retreated, but the Tao family actively fought in Qingzhou, and the Lu family was not allowed to put their hands to Qingzhou in public and secretly. Old Master Lu secretly reminded Lu Shao twice, but if he wanted to hurry, he couldn't reach it. Of course, Lu Shao didn't accept it. He was eager to make a look... But he never gave up on his back, so the price of the main production land in Qingzhou was much higher than that of Pingzhou.

However, few people know that every day, Mei Baoqing's carriages and horses are folded back from a distance, and the Mao Brown bought by Huā money before was quietly sent back to Pingzhou and Qingzhou. After being scattered very secretly, it was taken away by the Lu family again.

The fur in Lu Shao's warehouse is accumulating more and more, and it seems to be a lot of money. At this time, the Tao family suddenly tightened the inventory and did not want to sell it anymore. Lu Shao inquired and learned that Darong's side actually liked this hairy brown one very much. Recently, because of their wild collection of hairy brown on their side, the hairy brown side of Darong's side is also bullish. The Tao family wants to take the opportunity to raise the price. The left and right reason is that they have also fought against their own Xiaojiujiu. They are close to Darong, and the right time, place and all of people are occupied. If they can directly connect with Darong's merchants, they will still make most of the money. So while collecting the brown, he began to raise the price.

As the price is high, the small merchants can't afford it anymore, and the old party refuses to accept it again. It secretly asked people to negotiate with the Tao family whether it can be a long-term partner to exchange the silk brocade brought back by Mei Baoqing from the south for the brown of the Tao family, which is mutually beneficial to the two sides Originally, it was most appropriate for this business to be like the old party for a long time. Only by taking out the rules can we cooperate for a long time, so as not to mess up and hurt the harmony.

But Lu Shao is young and energetic. He hasn't made enough capital. He refuses to stop and is determined to use the Tao family's limelight to make more benefits. The best thing is to connect with Darong's side, and use the contract signed with Mei Baoqing to continue with the Mei family. Then he set up a banquet and asked Lu Yan to go over and persuade him, "Erlang, speaking of the Tao family and our family are also relatives. It's not the first day to make money together, and there is no reason to lose money together."

Lu Yan said lightly, "My brother is right."

Lu Shao knew that he had a pimple in his heart, so he had to be comforted; "I didn't know that you and your sister-in-law were also planning this matter before, so they inadvertently took the lead. I've always been unsteady... I always want to compensate you. Do you think this is good? Didn't you collect some brown before? Take it at the current price, and my brother took it.

Lu Yan sneered secretly. If he had brown hair in his hand, how could he wait until now to sell it to him? Lu Shao had a good calculation, and he wanted to buy himself with a little profit, and he really dared to think about it. He said with a straight face, "We don't have it."

Lu Shao smiled and said earnestly, "If my second brother helps this, I will have to ask for you in front of my grandfather."

This is a threat. If Lu Yan takes the initiative to talk about Tao Shunqin, it is for the sake of the family, but if he refuses, he will go to talk to Mr. Lu. In the end, Lu Yan has to work hard, and he also has to leave a small belly chicken intestine, cares about everything... There is no name of the overall situation.

Lu Yan was furious. Most of it was for these days, and half of it was also for this matter. Therefore, he did not hide his expression at all. He put the wine glass on the table heavily and said, "I can't take this credit. Although the Tao family is your brother-in-law's uncle, it is always separated by two The way of wealth, people still listen to the truth.

Lu Shao had expected it for a long time and was not angry. He stopped him with one hand; "The second brother is poor, how can this block other people's way of money? It's just to discuss with his family... to fight against Lao Fang's side and fight for a good price. After writing a letter, whether he is willing or not, it is always his family's business.

This is not for myself, but for the big guys.

Lu Yan was silent for a long time and said, "I want to think about it first. I'll talk to my brother tomorrow."

Lu Shao stopped when he saw that it was good. He stopped him and put him back. He turned his head to ask people to inquire about the brown price of Dayong's side and contact the merchants over there. He planned that if he was connected with the big merchants on Dayong's side, it would be 10% lower than the price given by Tao Shunqin

Lu Yan went back to his room and told Lin Jinrong about the matter... Lin Jinrong laughed; "His good days are coming soon. I'm going to write to my uncle and ask him to promise him to stay with him.

These days, she and Lu Yan, one of them only cares about taking medicine and taking care of the housework all day long, the other only immerses in studying hard, and occasionally goes out for a walk... Come back when it's not dark, quiet and silent, low-key forbearance, waiting for this day.

At the beginning, Lin Shiquan, Mei Baoqing and Tao Shunqin joined hands with Lin Shiquan to buy and sell high. When Lu Shao intervened, the price was no longer the first time. After Lu Shao tentatively received a batch, Mei Baoqing took it and gave Lu Shao a reassurance. Then he pulled the goods he had bought around in a carriage, secretly sent them back and sold them to Lu Shao at a slightly lower price, and then made the illusion that the Tao family and the Lu family were competing for the right to collect.

Because Lu Shao made money, he saw that the Tao family had been robbing, and many foreign merchants also bought it. He was sure that he would not lose money, so he kept buying it. But what he didn't expect was that this was simply an empty situation. Whether it was in Mei Baoqing's place or the Tao family's warehouse, the pile of brown was just a layer of pretending. The brown from Pingzhou and Qingzhou was basically stored in the Lu family's warehouse.

Brown is a good thing. It is very warm and wear-resistant. It is suitable for autumn, winter and early spring. Therefore, Dayong, Beimo, and even the north of this dynasty like to use it very much. The price has indeed been rising in recent years. But the value of a thing is fixed. If it exceeds its value too much, it is abnormal. Like the accumulation of dangerous snow, there is always a time to collapse.

After Lin Jinrong's letter was sent out, although the Tao family did not give a clear answer, Lao Fang returned to Pingzhou from Qingzhou, nestled in the rented yard, and closed all day. Lu Shao knew that the Tao family probably agreed to join hands temporarily, so he waited patiently. From time to time, he sold some of the brown hair in his hand. If he sold one, he sold ten horses, which also gave him some illusion of prosperity.

In a blink of an eye, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Jing, Lu Lu Lu and Lu's three brothers returned to Pingzhou City together, and the shop custobers of the Lu family everywhere also took a year's dividend money to the owner. The Lu family was busy up and down. Mr. Lu invited someone to sing and juggled, and the banquet was to reward the big and small stoons in the shops.

Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao's father and son are proud of the spring breeze.

When the banquet was at the most **, someone hurriedly sent a letter from the outside. After Lu Shao opened it and looked at it, his smile froze on his face. Regardless of the many sergeant around him, he hurriedly stood up and did not dare to disturb Mr. Lu. He only wink at Lu Jianzhong and went out.

Lu Jianzhong sat down for a moment and also found an excuse to quit.

Lu Yan sat not far away, and his palms and feet were wet.

Lin Jinrong carefully counted the dividends sent by Lu Yan's bead shop, 3,000 taels of silver, which was not a small amount. Master Lu really gave Lu Yan a good shop. Lin Jinrong rubbed the silver and thought of the money he had thrown into the brown, and he couldn't help bursts of pain. While he was calculating how to pick these things out of Lu Yan, he heard a sound outside the door. Lu Yan hurried in and didn't say anything, but only looked at her.

"Did the banquet leave so early?" Lin Jinrong was ecstatic and motioned all the people who served him to retreat.

"It's not over. My socks are a little trendy. When I come in and change them, I have to go out to accompany the guests." There were only two husband and wife left in the room, and Lu Yanfang whispered, "The old man has left... The brown price has fallen."

"Next, I'm afraid it's my uncle's fault. I'm afraid my grandfather will have some doubts... Can you stand it?" Lin Jinrong sighed half relaxedly and half solemnly. Originally, Pingzhou and Qingzhou were remote, and the news was blocked. Most of the time, it was brought in by merchants from outside. The price of goods was high or low, and it was also determined by big businessmen like Mei Baoqing. It's okay to have Lao Fang holding on. If he doesn't hold on, he will naturally fall.
