As expected by Qu Yunchu, Lu Wenqian asked Ji Zhen to collect enough money and send it to the Cui family's temporary home in Yanyang City.

This shocked the head of the Cui family, and he took a new look at the Lu family, and he was determined to continue doing this business with the Lu family.

But when the news spread that the Lu family had purchased silk from the Cui family, Song Chuyuan's face became even more uneasy.

That day, he sat in his yard and scolded Cui Yu for a long time, scolding his ancestors for eight generations.

"This treacherous Cui Sanlang is really abominable."

After scolding him for the last time, he was already a little exhausted, but he saw Tang Shun walking in leisurely.

"Business is all about profit. Why should the Master of the Song family be angry? The only blame is that the Master of the Song family was too careless and allowed the Lu family to take the lead."

Tang Shun smiled lightly and said.

"Your Excellency, you have the nerve to say so."

Song Chuyuan glanced at him dissatisfied: "I heard that it was Ling Qianjin, the wife of the head of the Lu family, who personally brokered this sky-high deal."

“This year’s silk production has increased several times compared to previous years, so we don’t have to worry about not being able to purchase silk.”

Tang Shun was not angry at all this time, and said calmly: "I have inquired about the news and heard that the Chen family has purchased nearly six million kilograms of silk. This is no less than the Cui family. I am afraid that Song The head of the family can’t afford so much money.”

"Six million pounds?"

The Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty were both happy and worried.

Fortunately, this year's silk harvest is indeed a bumper harvest, and I can make up for the Cui family's lost goods from the Chen family.

What is worrying is that the Song family and the Lu family have been competing for the leading position in the weaving industry for two years. They have indeed killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses.

The money in the Song family's treasury is already stretched thin.

Tang Shun was afraid that this batch of silk would be taken away by the Lu family again, so he quickly said: "I also heard that the Lu family has already sent people to negotiate with the Chen family. I am afraid that if the Master of the Song family is later, this batch of silk will fall into my possession." In the hands of my son-in-law."

"Where did Lu Wenqian get so much money?"

Song Chuyuan was very puzzled: "He just ate this batch of goods from the Cui family, which cost tens of millions of taels of silver. It's incredible. Is it possible that he can still use the money to stock up on the goods from the Chen family?"

"Who knows."

Tang Shun frowned and said, "The Lu family's house is worth a lot of money, not to mention that there is Zhang Jinnian behind Lu Wenqian."

Upon hearing this, Song Chuyuan suddenly felt uneasy, and quickly called the boy and said: "Go, go to the Chen family immediately, and increase the price of silk by [-]%. I want to get this batch of silk from the Chen family."

"Homeowner."

The young boy was embarrassed and looked at Tang Shun first, but hesitated to speak.

"Your Majesty the Minister is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it."

After Song Chuyuan finished speaking, the boy was willing to tell the truth: "The house has no money at the moment. There are still millions of kilograms of silk in stock. The newly woven silk, brocade, and silk cloth are all piled up in the warehouse. The Weaving Bureau All the fabrics have no provenance.”

"Hard so much fabric?"

Song Chuyuan himself was a little unbelievable.

But the fight with Lu Wenqian has reached this stage, how can he be willing to admit defeat? No matter how difficult it is, he must be completely defeated.

Song Chuyuan secretly made up his mind.

He didn't believe that the Lu family, which was now riddled with holes, could still compete with the Song family.

"Go there and mortgage the Song family's properties to collect enough money to continue buying silk."

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sell the fabrics in the warehouse at a discount of [-]%."

Just at this time, a boy came to report outside the door, saying that the head of the Cui family wanted to see him. When he learned that it was Cui Yu who came to visit, Song Chuyuan was immediately furious. He sent someone to send Tang Shun away first, and then welcomed Cui Yu in.

As soon as the two met, Song Chuyuan became furious and cursed angrily: "Cui Yu, you treacherous villain, you still dare to come to the door."

Cui Yu, however, looked indifferent and sat down slowly: "I really feel sorry for Brother Chu Yuan about this silk matter. I am here to help you solve your urgent problem."

Song Chuyuan grinned and sneered: "I would like to hear what else you have to say?"

"I just heard that Brother Chuyuan wants to sell the cloth in the warehouse at a discount. I don't need you to discount it. The Cui family wants the cloth from all over the Song family."

Cui Yuyun said calmly.

"really?"

"You have no jokes."

"Brother Cui is righteous."

Song Chuyuan's expression changed, and he immediately greeted him with a smile and ordered someone to serve him tea.

Cui Yu actually had some doubts in his heart, so he blurted out at this moment: "I would like to ask Brother Chu Yuan, what is the purpose of such a big war? Today's weaving industry has been made difficult by you and the Lu family, and the cloth merchants below cannot survive. ”

Song Chuyuan's eyes paused for a moment, then answered after a moment: "I want the Lu family to be completely defeated."

"What's the trouble?"

Cui Yu said: "When we do business, we only want to make money by being friendly. Why do we need to kill people?"

"peace brings money?"

Song Chuyuan angrily slapped his hand on the coffee table and said loudly: "The Lu family has been prosperous for many years relying on the power of Zhang Jinnian and Mrs. Hua. Now it is time for the wind and water to turn around and it is my Song family's turn. I remember that the Lu family The Great Moon Dynasty is so glorious and respectable. Not only the major merchants, but also the government have to look at the face of the Lu family. How could the Lu family ever think about being harmonious and making money? "

Cui Yu couldn't answer these words.

Although he didn't like Lu Wenqian as a person, he knew that he always acted with equal emphasis on kindness and power. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people obeying him, and it would be even less possible for him to help the Lu family rise to several levels in just a few years.

Song Chuyuan was used to the honorable appearance of Lu Wenqian and Lu Yanchao's uncle and nephew. He used to be tolerant and dared not speak out when he was angry. Now that he had the opportunity, he would naturally trample the Lu family completely under his feet.

"Brother Cui is far away in the south of the Yangtze River and is not familiar with the situation in Tanzhou. Don't be deceived."

Song Chuyuan said: "Although Lu Wenqian has been canonized as the Marquis of Changyuan, even though he has a prominent position, all the Lu family needs to turn the tide is real money. How can the Lu family have the strength to fight with me now? As long as he dares to ask for help from Zhang Jinnian, I will He has the ability to make these two people completely rejected by the emperor."

Cui Yuben also felt that the Lu family had completely hit the bottom, but this time they collected tens of millions of taels of silver in just three days without blinking an eyelid, which was really impressive.

Anyway, he just wanted to make some money and didn't want to get involved in the feud between the two families. He said a few polite words, signed the contract to get the goods and hurriedly left Song's house.

The silk war between the Lu and Song families soon spread to Shangjing.

Zhang Jinnian felt quite worried when he learned about this.

Liu Ke saw that he had become a lot haggard recently, so he admonished him: "Eunuch, why don't we help Chang Yuanhou? Your Majesty will not care about the affairs of the state. The Song family is so powerful now that the Yanyang Weaving Bureau alone can overwhelm Lu." Jia, Yuan Yuanhou will obviously suffer a loss if he fights with the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty at this time."

"Let him do whatever he wants."

Zhang Jinnian said calmly: "Yuanyuan Hou is not a passionate person. The things he always decides must have his own reasons. We believe in his ability."

As he said this, he was praying silently in his heart, hoping that Lu Wenqian could hold on for a while longer.

At present, although the emperor trusts him, the Crescent Party is pressing harder and harder, and it is not yet to the point where he can change the situation.

Besides, he couldn't continue to openly protect Lu Wenqian.

The only way to keep His Highness back in Beijing is to stand on his opposite side and win the support of the Crescent Party.

To help His Highness overcome this difficulty, he had to find another way.
