"Roughly speaking, the summer silkworms in Shuzhou have already spun silk. Coupled with the inventory, I estimate that the Shu brocade in my Shuzhou will sell well again."
Jia Zhou held the dossier and his tone was filled with joy.
What Shuzhou has to do now is to accumulate grain and cast weapons, and strive to accumulate a foundation as soon as possible, and then Baipao will go out of Yuguan, conquer Liangzhou, conquer Jiangnan, and then conquer the world.
As for the process of accumulating grain and casting weapons, the enemy will definitely not stand idly by.
Not only Jia Zhou understands this truth, but Xu Mu also understands it.
"A lot of merchants have gathered in Bailu County these days. In addition, there are also merchants coming to buy from the direction of Liangzhou. But for safety reasons, for fear of being mixed in with spies, I did not let Chen Zhong give way. If you want to buy Shu Brocade
, we can only go to the Bailu County area."
"Inform Dou Tong and ask him to pay attention."
During the autumn harvest season, not only Sichuan brocade, but also medicinal materials and animal skins will be marketed in Bailu County. No matter in troubled times or prosperous times, there are many wealthy businessmen.
This is actually the same as when he brewed and sold private liquor.
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
Of course, business is business, and people from outside the state cannot enter Shu casually.
"A letter has come from Dou Tong, who wants to set up a Shu Brocade Temple. Many people in Shuzhou are happy."
"But I always feel that this year's Shu brocade business seems to be a bit excessive."
Xu Mu thought for a while, "I'll ask someone to pay attention to it."
The export of Shu brocade accounted for at least nearly 20% of military pay. On Chen Sheng's side, the merchant ships going to various states carried the most Shu brocade.
Of course, Xu Mu also tried it and explained it carefully to Jia Zhou about things such as glass.
Unfortunately, Jia Zhou did not agree.
"It's similar to ceramics, but not as good as it. Since ancient times, we in the Central Plains have admired ceramics because of its glaze color, plain skin and jade bones, tranquility and elegance. What the Lord said only has the joy of first sight, but no inner beauty.
"
These are Jia Zhou's original words.
In other words, in the course of the development of the times, he is just a lonely wheel, unable to carry this giant car at all.
"Sun Xun, didn't the weaving workshop say that they would send a batch of high-quality Sichuan brocade as samples?"
"My lord, the weaving shop gave us ten horses, but Brother Tiger snatched nine of them. I stopped him, but he threw them all away. Don't worry, my lord, I will go and chase them back right now!"
"Forget it, he probably gave it to his wife and asked the weaving shop to send another batch."
Just when Xu Mu was about to stop him, he found that Sun Xun had already bolted out.
…
"Daughter-in-law, you wear this one, this one looks better." Si Hu stupidly held a large pile of Sichuan brocade, looked at Mrs. Luan Yu in front of him, and said with a smile.
Mrs. Luan Yu was very happy. As soon as she took it and put it on, she suddenly thought of something.
"Husband, where did you come from?"
"Of course... Brother Mu gave it to me. He gave me a hundred horses, but I only took nine, giving him an advantage."
Just as Si Hu finished speaking, he heard Sun Xun crying again outside the door.
"Brother Tiger, if you return three more, I will give the others to you."
"Brother Tiger is great, Brother Tiger is good, Brother Tiger, give me three pieces of cloth."
Mrs. Luan Yu lowered her Shu brocade and looked at Si Hu with wide eyes.
Si Hu's face turned red, and he probably thought of another way. He rummaged through a few mud-legged robes from the wooden box, opened the door, and threw them into Sun Xun's hands.
"Brother Tiger, your robe is rotten, why are you so embarrassed?"
Si Hu was just about to grab Sun Xun and throw him out, but unexpectedly, his ears were grabbed and he yelled with a grin on his face.
…
"So, just now Luan Yu brought Si Hu to apologize?" Xu Mu looked strange. Since falling in love, his ferocious monster brother has turned into a little puppy.
They did not continue to get entangled in this matter. Xu Mu and Jia Zhou's focus was still on accumulating grain and casting weapons. This time, the Shu brocade brought Shuzhou a lot of extra income.
But again, whether it was Xu Mu or Jia Zhou, both of them always felt a little weird.
…
Bailu County.
Dou Tong spent the past two or three days with a smile on his face. He had never seen so many merchant ships in a long time since he was in Bailu County.
In the past, there were of course Shu brocades in southern Shu, but if one piece could be sold for two taels, it was already pretty good. Now, ordinary Shu brocades in Bailu County have risen to five taels of silver.
Of course, in order to prevent disaster, he mobilized many soldiers and patrolled carefully.
"General, my lord has sent a message, asking the general to pay attention. If anything goes wrong, report it to Chengdu immediately."
"Tell the lord, I, Dou Tong, will keep an eye on you." Dou Tong nodded and regained his composure between his eyes.
Another group of merchant ships arrived on the river bank. As soon as they landed, they rushed to the city in a panic and joined the ranks of high-priced acquisitions.
Everyone was so furious that they were blushing. In the end, one of them directly set a price of seven taels per piece and took away half the boatload of Sichuan brocade.
Dou Tong has seen quite a lot of scenes like this in the past two or three days. He is not stupid, and he immediately understood what Chengdu meant.
"General, the weavers and merchants who followed the delivery of Shu brocade were all very happy. They said that after returning to Shuzhou, they would continue to recruit people for sericulture and weaving."
Listen, after some hesitation, Dou Tong wrote a letter about what he saw and heard and had it sent to Chengdu.
…
"I've said it before, this is a conspiracy." In the Liang Palace, Sima Xiu was extremely calm.
"Master, you must understand that the people we want to deceive are not Xu Buyi, but the people in Shuzhou. As long as they believe that they can make huge profits by doing sericulture. There are many people in Shuzhou who are engaged in sericulture.
Yes, enough to cause a scene."
"Xu Buyi is very smart. He only needs to think deeply and investigate, and he should be able to guess it. But that is not the key. When the time comes, sericulture will spread, and if he stops it, he will be working against the people. Throughout the ages, people have abandoned aristocratic families and adopted a people-oriented approach.
There may not be many people. But these people were quickly annihilated. Just like the pseudo-emperor Fang Ru, it is estimated that they will fall into four wars."
Sitting on the throne, Dong Wen laughed out loud.
"The strategist's plan is to give the commoner thief a bone. If he succeeds, he will be Shu Jin, and if he fails, he will be Shu Jin."
"Let's see how Xu Buyi breaks the situation."
"Military advisor, if not, I will arrange for a group of Liangzhou merchants to gather outside Yuguan and implore them to enter Sichuan to purchase Shu brocade."
"Lord, no."
Sima Xiu's voice was filled with a hint of exhaustion.
"Everything must be reversed. The commotion in Bailu County is enough. My lord, you must remember that Xu Buyi in Shuzhou is like a dragon lying in the pool. What he wants is time. If he is allowed to
If you hide in Shuzhou for two or three years, it will definitely be a catastrophe when you leave Shu."
"So, no matter what method is used, we must let him die in the pool before he can succeed."
"Listen to the military advisor."
Dong Wen nodded. To be honest, many times, he found that the scheming Liang Hu in front of him was really reliable, but also a bit scary.
