"I've always been at ease when officials act."

Qu Yunchu just wanted to send this madman out of the house as soon as possible, so that he would not stay at the house all day and instigate his mother to embarrass him, so he did not hesitate to give him advice personally.

"I'm not a businessman, and I don't understand the ways of merchants, but I understand the simplest truth. Doing business is nothing more than making a profit. The Song family is very wealthy, and using stupid methods like throwing away money to compete with the Lu family is just a waste of money. If you kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, no one will be left behind in the end. How about the officials adjust their thinking and maybe find a new way out for the Lu family."

Hearing her talk about things in the business world, Lu Wenqian's mind turned away from pleasing their mother and daughter and began to care about the difficulties in the business world:
"Now that the Song family has taken over the Yanyang Weaving Bureau, and with the support of the imperial court, they really can't beat them head-on. I heard from the fourth and sixth laos that Lu Yanchao spent countless amounts of money just robbing the Song family of silk this year. One million taels, but the price of silk and brocade produced by the Song family is lower than in previous years. As a result, all the cloth shops and dyeing houses of the Lu family have a large backlog of cloth. Now that they have been revoked as imperial merchants, those inventories are probably even more expensive. It’s hard to get out of the warehouse.”

"After all, we have been squeezed by the Song family and have no way to survive. Why continue to carry on?"

Qu Yunchu smiled and said: "If you don't mind me, officials, you might as well let me help you with a trick. Maybe it can help the Lu family come back to life."

Listening to the couple chatting happily about business matters, Mrs. Wei couldn't get in the conversation. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, she ordered Xiao Ning: "Hurry up and clear the table and make some food for your uncle." Here comes a pot of tea."

Then he wisely took Qu A'a and left first.

Lu Wenqian really wanted to hear Madam's opinions, so he asked directly without being pretentious: "Madam, please tell me. I would like to hear the details."

Qu Yunchu's eyes flashed brightly, and he replied with a smile:

"Let alone returning the silk and brocade produced by our Lu family to the Yanyang Weaving Bureau, it will be even more difficult to sell them to the previous merchants. Rather than being squeezed by the Song family and left to rot in the warehouse, it is better to discount them. into the sinking market.”

"Sinking market?"

Lu Wenqian probably understood what she meant: "You mean to sell the silks and brocades in the warehouse to ordinary people?"

"Why not."

Qu Yunchu said: "I know that the fabrics designed by officials are sent to the palace or circulated among the upper class. It can be seen that officials and dignitaries often do not purchase goods for real value, and what they want more is to satisfy them. It's just vanity,
In the past, the Lu family was very popular, and they naturally felt that it was a supreme honor to be able to buy a piece of fabric from the Lu family's shop. Now that the Lu family has fallen, they are afraid of avoiding it, let alone selling it, even if they give it to them for free. People, they will still dislike it. "

After a pause, Qu Yunchu continued: "On the other hand, those at the bottom of the class are only looking for the quality of the goods. In their opinion, these clothes that could only be worn by palaces and dignitaries in the past can also be worn in the lower class. You can buy it in ordinary shops, it’s high-quality and low-priced.”

"Madam's plan is quite enlightening."

Lu Wenqian's peach-like shining eyes blinked slightly, and he smiled proudly in the spring breeze:
"But I would like to make another change to Madam's plan. Since the Song family likes to help mulberry farmers so much, we have to fulfill him and accumulate more merits for the Song family."

Lu Wenqian glanced at her meaningfully, and a hint of slyness flashed in Lu Wenqian's eyes:
"Why don't we help the Song family buy silk from all over the country, and then use the price difference earned from the silk to buy the Song family's cloth at a low price and sell it into the sinking market. In this way, the price of the Song family's silk will get higher and higher. The fabric produced can only be sold cheaper and cheaper."

Seeing how he suddenly became mean-spirited, Qu Yunchu was so impressed by his change.

Sure enough, compared to Yin Shan, it has to be the Ghost King.

There was no need for him to explain any more, Qu Yunchu roughly understood all his plans.

"The Song family is at its peak right now. If the second master wants to continue to compete with the Song family, not only will he have to invest a lot of money, but it is also not easy to get Song Chuyuan into the game completely."

Qu Yunchu remonstrated, "It's better to let the Chen family take care of the situation for the Lu family. In this case, no matter how deep the Song family's financial resources are, they will be brought down sooner or later."

"Chen family?" Lu Wenqian frowned unconsciously: "Chen Yingnan has always been at odds with the Lu family, how could he get involved in this muddy water?"

Although he guessed that Madam had some friendship with the old guy, the matter was very important and Chen Yingnan would never be involved in the risk easily.

"Everything in this world cannot escape the word profit. As long as he can see the benefits, he will naturally be willing to join the game."

Qu Yunchu said confidently.

Even though Chen Yingnan repeatedly showed his kindness to her, she would not trust the old man casually.

But with interests involved, she didn't believe that the old man had money to make.

"Since the Song family is now concerned about the various industries of the Lu family, why not sell the fabrics from the cloth shops and dyeing workshops to the Chen family at a discount, and join the Chen family in this sinking market?"

Qu Yunchu smiled evilly at Lu Wenqian.

Lu Wenqian nodded understandingly: "That's not bad. I can cash out a sum of cash to continue buying silk."

"Second Master, feel free to go."

Qu Yunchu said happily: "Just leave the affairs of Yanyang City to me."

Lu Wenqian was a little worried about her safety: "At this time, I'm afraid I really have to go to various cloth shops and dyeing workshops in person. But right now, everyone in the Lu family has ulterior motives, and government offices at all levels are also watching with eager eyes. As soon as I leave..."

"Second Master, don't worry. I will handle it carefully."

After he finished speaking, Qu Yunchu whispered a few more words into his ear, and Lu Wenqian's hanging heart finally relaxed completely.

"Then there is Mrs. Lao. I will definitely take care of this matter before spring."

Lu Wenqian promised.

"Second Master, there is no need to be too anxious. We strive to be steady in this matter."

Qu Yunchu didn't want him to come back too early. He wanted to stay outside for a longer period of time so that he could be cleaner.

Lu Wenqian just thought that she didn't want to put too much pressure on him. He was so moved that he didn't dare to linger in Fengyage any longer. He went out and called Lu Wenjing and a group of guys and hurried out of the city.

Although she was temporarily freed from this crazy criticism, Qu Yunchu was now the wife of the housekeeper and knew that the burden on her shoulders was not light.

She first went to Hongshun Gambling House and negotiated with Chen Yingnan about the purchase of the Lu family's backlog of cloth. After everything was settled, she returned to Fengyage and figured out how to help Lu Wenqian overthrow the Song family.

But just two days after Lu Wenqian left Yanyang City, yamen at all levels also came to the door in an endless stream. Following Qu Yunchu's instructions, Lu Wenchi took out all the money from the Xiyuan Bank and the house, and collected enough money. After paying 500 million taels of cash, the losses of the states were fully compensated, leaving Chen Meizhuang, the governor of Nagqu Prefecture, with no choice but to take action.

It seemed like they were debt-free, but the Lu family fell into complete famine. (End of chapter)
