Chapter 108 Your Highness is confused, the people of Beiping Mansion are blessed!
Daming: Being the magistrate of Beiping County Chapter 108: Your Highness is confused, the people of Beiping Prefecture are blessed! Latest website: A group of fat and white merchants gathered in a spacious house.
Everyone frowned and looked puzzled.
"Why is this so?"
"The weaver girls in the textile shop we opened are all young weaver girls with the best skills in the entire Beiping Prefecture. The cotton weaving is not only much faster than the old women in the textile shop, but a piece of cloth is also faster.
It’s at least ten cents cheaper, so why are these idiots just staring at that man’s textile shop?
Are you turning a blind eye to the textile shop we're waiting for and not even looking at it?"
"Could it be that that person secretly promised those mud-legged people some benefits?"
"It's true that when he was the magistrate of Wanping County, he had a very good relationship with the village elders!"
"No, I'll have to send someone to find out more about this!"
"We need to find out clearly. We can earn thirty cash by weaving a piece of cotton cloth, and then we can earn more than a hundred cash or even two hundred cash by selling the cotton cloth. It's much better than traveling all the way from Peking."
The government can make a lot of money selling cotton to Songjiang Prefecture!"
A merchant at the bottom thought of something and asked hesitantly: "Everyone, I heard that the guy who sold looms to all the people in Wanping County was selling looms! Could this be the case..."
"There are only so many craftsmen in Prince Yan's palace. Even if they are given three months, they cannot make a thousand looms.
And within two months, the cotton has been picked, and those mud-legged people must pay the taxes and sell the goods, there is absolutely no way they can wait until then!"
"That person wants to control all the cotton business in Beiping Mansion with just a few craftsmen in Prince Yan's Mansion. It is simply a wishful thinking!"
"He can't even eat it in Wanping County..."
All the businessmen are full of confidence.
However, these merchants did not know that just when they had just regained some confidence, a group of village elders from Wanping County took the people from each township to the Yan Palace.
Then, sign the sales contract with Guo An one by one.
However, in the past few days, the textile machines manufactured by Gongzheng Workshop will be sold first to those wealthy households who have already paid the money.
It was not until ten days later that we began to deliver textile machines to the poor households one by one.
During this period of time, there were not many people who wanted to pay for the looms of Prince Yan to weave cloth, only more than a hundred.
This amount is nothing to Prince Yan's Mansion, and it can be woven in just one month.
During this period, Prince Yan's Mansion was able to deliver one hundred textile looms to the people of Wanping County every day, which gradually attracted the attention of various forces in Beiping Mansion.
Especially the merchants, who are becoming more and more panicked day by day.
"Reporting to the proprietor, early this morning, under the leadership of the village elders, another three li of mud-legged people took away a hundred sets of textile looms from Prince Yan's Mansion!"
"Explore again!"
……
"For the record, proprietor, two more mud-legged men have just taken away a hundred sets of textile looms from Prince Yan's Mansion!"
All the merchants were in disbelief.
"Explore again!"
……
"Proprietor, proprietor, there are still a hundred sets today!"
"How is this possible?"
At this moment, the expressions of all the fat and white merchants had already turned into sorrow.
"It's been half a month, and Prince Yan's Mansion has been able to bring out a hundred sets of textile looms for those mud-legged people every day. How much have they saved?"
"Brother Li, is it possible that they can produce a hundred sets of textile looms every day?"
A merchant shook his head firmly, "This is impossible. We have already inquired clearly. There are only more than fifty carpenters in Prince Yan's palace. How can it be possible for so many craftsmen to produce a hundred sets of textile looms every day?"<
/p>
After hearing this, the merchants nodded slowly and felt relieved.
More than fifty carpenters cannot make a hundred sets of textile looms.
"However, according to our statistics, including the textile machines that the person had sold before, more than two thousand sets of textile machines have been sold now!"
"This..."
Only then did all the merchants react, and their expressions changed drastically.
"More than two thousand sets of textile machines have already been sold. If they are sold for another half month, there will be no place for me and others in Wanping County to get involved."
"Yeah!"
"Master Shen, what should I do now?"
All the merchants were a little panicked. They were not as wealthy as Mr. Shen. They had been living by selling cotton from the entire Beiping Prefecture for a year.
"That Guo Changshi did this, but he was going to dig up our roots!"
A sinister flash appeared in the eyes of a businessman.
"What do you want to do?"
Shen Zhuang's expression condensed, "That person behind the scenes is King Yan. It's best not to let me know what evil thoughts you have.
Otherwise, I will hand him over first."
"Master Shen?"
The merchant looked panicked.
"We are just businessmen, and our status is not even as good as a scholar. Don't cause trouble!" Shen Zhuang warned again.
"Master Shen, please rest assured, we will never be so insane!"
The merchant kept apologizing and smiled.
Seeing this, Shen Zhuang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "That person has been selling textile looms to the people of Wanping County these days, and has not sold them to people in other prefectures and counties. This proves that that person has not sold looms to the people of Wanping County."
I want to take over the entire cotton business in Beiping Prefecture.
Moreover, if this is the case, King Yan cannot bear the reputation of competing with the people for profit."
"It's the best, it's the best!"
"In the past few days, please evacuate all shops and people in Wanping County!"
"Just withdraw like this?"
Two businessmen felt some physical pain. As a result, they would definitely lose money.
"What else?"
Shen Zhuang looked helpless, "In Wanping County, who among you can compete for the right one?"
"Alas!"
"Okay, while that person hasn't intervened in other states and counties yet, you can send people as soon as possible to collect the new cotton in each state and county in the past few days!"
"It can only be like this..."
……
"They all withdrew?"
In Prince Yan's palace, Guo An looked surprised after hearing Fang Qinggui's report.
"Why is this?"
"Guo Changshi, as long as you are in Wanping County, all these cotton businesses are in our shop, how can it be their turn?"
Fang Qinggui looked proud.
He has been living extremely comfortably these past few days.
In the past, when the common people saw them, the stewards and treasurers of the palace, they were more afraid than respectful.
But now, trust is greater than respect.
Of course, he knew that all this was brought to them by the new Guo Changshi. And the people also trusted this Guo Changshi.
As for him, he and everyone else in the shop were all brought along.
But, what's the point? It's better than the common people not even looking at the textile shops opened by the merchants.
"Don't say this nonsense!"
Guo An quickly reprimanded, "I and His Highness King Yan are currently losing money selling textile machines to the common people. As for weaving fabrics for them, they are just trying to help the common people get rich.
How can His Royal Highness, King Yan, be so respected that he can compete with the people for profit?"
