A woolen sweater, woolen trousers, and a woolen scarf make for a three-piece woolen set.
According to Lu Jian's more than 1,100 people, each person was given a set.
In order to express his gratitude, Lu Jian treated Yang Xuan to a meal, and in order to express his gratitude, he kept urging him to drink.
With a hint of drunkenness, Lu Jian spoke loudly: "Mr. Yang, to be honest, before I came here, I thought this was a drudgery trip. Only today did I realize that we are clearly here to enjoy the blessings."
"Living in a spacious and bright big house, you don't have to sleep in a tent in the cold and snow. The food, drink and daily necessities on weekdays are much better than in the camp in Juyongguan. It's snowing now, and warm clothes are provided."
As Lu Jian spoke, he slapped the table: "I have been in the military camp for more than 20 years, and I have never seen any big-headed soldier live such a good life."
As he said that, he patted his chest again: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, as long as our brothers stay in this earthen fort for a day, no matter who wants to come here and run wild, unless they step over my body."
"It's too serious to say too much." Yang Xuan quickly comforted him: "This is still the territory of our Dasheng Dynasty, and the grassland people don't dare to be too presumptuous."
Yang Xuan responded with a glass of wine and said: "Master Lu, there is no need to be like this. I am a businessman. Everything is based on interests. Master Lu leads his men to protect our safety. How can we not show any sign of it? Besides,
, that woolen sweater was given by Mr. Guan, and Mr. Guan is a real businessman, so his woolen sweater was not given for free."
"Oh?" Lu Jian quickly poured a glass of wine to toast Mr. Guan: "Thank you very much, Mr. Guan. If you have any errands, I just follow my orders."
Mr. Guan took a sip of the glass of wine and said, "Lord Lu, you are serious. I just think that there are so many military lords in our Dasheng Dynasty who have to endure the severe cold outside in this cold day, and I can't bear it."
"We couldn't do anything before, but now that we have this sweater, we should do something for our great success."
As a businessman, Guan Qingxian had some things that were difficult to explain clearly, so Yang Xuan took over the conversation: "It's like this, Mr. Lu can write to his superiors and explain the thermal effect of this woolen sweater. If it can make all the sergeants in Youzhou Prefecture
Wearing this sweater is also a kind act."
Lu Jian himself was a member of the Big Head Soldiers, so he naturally knew how difficult it was for the soldiers in this cold weather. It would be great if other soldiers could wear this woolen sweater.
So he immediately patted his chest and agreed to the matter.
Yang Xuan and Mr. Guan looked at each other and were secretly happy. There were 200,000 border troops in Youzhou Prefecture. If they could win this order, they would have a year's profit.
Lu Jian was also a man who kept his word. The next day when the wind and snow stopped, he sent someone back to Juyongguan with the letter.
Along with the letter, there were ten three-piece sets of wool sweaters sent back.
Yang Xuan didn't believe that it was so cold that the general at Juyongguan could not be tempted.
As long as he feels good about it, he will naturally report it to Prince Yan. Once Prince Yan approves, the business will be done.
Of course, it is definitely impossible for Prince Yan to pay for such a large expense out of his own pocket, but Yang Xuan also has countermeasures for this.
You can definitely pay on credit first. You don’t have to pay for the clothes. You wear them first. As for how to settle the bill...
Yang Xuan directly acted as the agent for the distribution rights of woolen sweaters in the name of Shengfa Company. In other words, this woolen sweater was nominally purchased by Shengfa Company and then sold to the border army. He did not believe that His Majesty the Emperor would let
The accounts department of Lai Shengfa Company.
As for the free supplies from Prince Yan, can he still want it? Anyway, he doesn’t have to pay for it, and he doesn’t have to argue with the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Yang Xuan's move can be said to have completed a closed loop, and everyone is happy.
Of course, Yang Xuan's target was not just the 200,000 border troops, he also set his sights on the grassland.
Directly ask Lizhu to send her guards to the royal court with a hundred sets of woolen sweaters and letters.
Yang Xuan said the same thing in the letter. Your Essien family owes me a debt of gratitude this time. I think I should give you some blood. Besides, this sweater is definitely worth the money. The climate on the grassland is great.
It's even worse than Youzhou Prefecture.
Although almost everyone on the grassland has a fur coat, who wouldn't want to wear something warmer in this cold weather?
Although it snowed and the roads on the grassland were basically paralyzed, it was precisely because of this that the prices of all items increased a lot.
For businessmen, as long as there is enough profit, they will dare to behead people. A mere snowfall is nothing.
So when the snow stopped, a large number of merchants set out on the trade route to the grassland.
This time, the most goods they carried were woolen sweaters.
Especially Fan Jian and You Gui, after a year of operation, they have opened up the situation in Tumubao.
Almost all the grassland tribes he visited only recognized him as a merchant. In the past, other merchants didn't buy it and had to wait for him to sell their goods.
Moreover, he also married a prairie girl and settled down in this earthen fort. His wife was the braided Zarembi girl who he deceived into becoming his wife with a little bell.
With his flexible mind, Fan Jian realized that this wool sweater was a good thing to make a fortune, and he personally led the caravan deep into the grassland.
Shengfa Department Store ships the products in sets of three, while Fan Jian sells them in pieces. Just one scarf can double or triple the purchase price.
Within ten days or so, the reply from Prince Yan came, and he directly ordered 250,000 sets of woolen sweaters.
Since the production line was established, the sweater factory has been working hard to produce, and the warehouses that were originally piled with goods were emptied out in no time.
Yang Xuan organized a convoy and even requisitioned some merchants' carriages to transport woolen sweaters to Youzhou Prefecture.
At the same time, the first batch of traders who went to the grassland have also returned, and the sales situation is not generally good.
When the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, being able to buy warm and warm clothing is not much different from providing help in times of need.
When Prince Yan received those wool sweaters, he suddenly wanted to understand a question.
In the past, when he asked the court for money, he first had to write a memorial application, then discuss it at the court meeting, and then the emperor made the decision. Finally, he had to argue with the Ministry of Revenue to get the money to be appropriated.
Every step of this process is full of twists and turns. Even if His Majesty the Emperor makes the decision, the Ministry of Revenue can say that there is no money to delay it.
But Yang Xuan can help him skip all the steps and get it done in one step.
Just like this wool sweater, Prince Yan only needs to say a word, and the wool sweater will be delivered immediately. As for who will pay for it, he doesn't have to worry at all.
To him, Yang Xuan was like a god of wealth descended from heaven.
Although these 250,000 sets of woolen sweaters are worth less than one hundred thousand taels of silver, if we follow the normal process, I am afraid that winter will be over and these things will not arrive.
