Generational Marriage

In just half a month, the price of brown brown in Qingzhou and Pingzhou has risen by more than 20%, and the supply is still in short supply.

In the meantime, Mei Baoqing’s steward, the old party, picked up nearly ten carts of the hairy brown that the Wang family, Lu family, and Tao family had handed over. The clean and mighty ones transported them out of Pingzhou City with great fanfare. Sent from the north. At the same time, many merchants moved on hearing the news and poured into Pingzhou and Cheongju, ready to share a piece of the pie.

Lu Shao’s first business was completed. He had a big money bag, happily, and proudly reported to Mrs. Lu. After receiving Mrs. Lu’s praise, he enthusiastically invested all the money he earned and continued with Wang, The pottery family robbed the brown hair, and even went to the home of Lin Shiquan's earlier appointment, and increased the price to take away the brown hair from the other people, how much it cost... and the high price went to grab the skilled weavers to build a wool weaving workshop. Cost.

Speaking of this wool weaving workshop, it is not too difficult to build. Lu's family has ready-made houses. It is agreed with the government to make a spacious yard, neaten all the looms, weavers, and raw materials, and then start work.

Lu Shao is capable, energetic and vigorous. With all his energy, huā has had enough energy to produce the first batch of exquisite woven gold and brown hairs in just twenty days. Although the number is small, it is a living sign. Relying on this batch of brown hair, he and the Lao Fang have agreed that before February next year, they will hand over a thousand high-quality woven gold and huā hair brown, and the two parties will sign according to the rules. The deed. The Lao Fang has high requirements for quality, and the price for him is naturally not low, but for the same reason, if he breaches the contract, the price to be compensated is also not low.

Everything went smoothly, seemingly foolproof, Lu Shao walked with clothes and wind, not to mention being in the Lu family, even in the entire Pingzhou city, he is also considered a man of great importance in the whole Pingzhou city. It means that all the brown businesses in Qingzhou and Qingzhou are accounted for. But as long as it is profitable, others will naturally not just let him get what they want.

The Wang family and a few small households did not have a solid foundation, and they could not provoke him to deal with the goods in his hand and quickly retired, but the Tao family was actively fighting in Qingzhou, and the Lu family was not allowed to reach Qingzhou either explicitly or secretly. The old lady Lu reminded Lu Shao twice in secret, but haste is not enough. Of course, Lu Shao is not convinced, so he wants to behave like a verbal response... but never give up, so the price of the main producing area in Qingzhou is higher than Pingzhou is much higher.

Few people know that Mei Baoqing’s chariots and horses are turned back from a distance every day, and the brown hairs bought by the huā money are quietly sent back to Pingzhou and Qingzhou. He was taken away by the Lu family again.

The hairy brown in Lu Shao's warehouse grew more and more, and it looked like another large sum of money. At this moment, the Tao family suddenly tightened the inventory and refused to sell it. Lu Shao inquired and learned that Da Rong actually liked this brown hair very much. Recently, because of their frantic harvesting of brown hair, Da Rong's brown hair is also bullish. The Tao family wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to raise the price. The reason for this is that they also played their own Xiao Jiujiu. They are close to Dayong, the time and place are good, and all the people are occupied. If they can directly connect with Dayong’s merchants, they will make money. Still in the majority. So while still closing the hairy brown, the price started to increase.

When the price is high, the small merchants can’t afford it anymore, and the old side refuses to take it again. They secretly ask people to discuss with the Tao family whether they can be a long-term partner and exchange the silk brocade brought back by Mei Baoqing from the south for the hair brown of the Tao family. , The two sides are mutually beneficial. Originally, it would be most appropriate for this business to behave like the Lao Fang for a long time. Only with rules and regulations can we cooperate for a long time, so that it will not mess up and hurt the harmony.

However, Lu Shao was young and vigorous, and had not made enough capital yet, so he refused to stop, determined to make more money from the Tao family's limelight. The best thing is to connect with Da Rong again, and continue with the Mei family through the contract signed with Mei Bao. So he set up a banquet and asked Lu Yan to go over and persuade him; "Erlang, speaking of the Tao family and our family are also relatives, making money together is not the first day, there is no reason to lose money together."

Lu Yan said indifferently; "Brother is right."

Lu Shao knew that he had a pimple in his heart, and he couldn’t help but comfort him; “I didn’t know that you and your younger siblings were also planning this matter before, and accidentally took the lead. My heart is always unreliable... I always want to make up for you. Is this good? Did you get some brown hair? Bring it at the current price, and my brother accepted it."

Lu Yan sneered secretly, if he had brown hair in his hand, where could he wait to sell it to him now? Lu Shao made a good calculation, and wanted to buy himself with a little profit. He really dared to think. He said with a blank face; "We don't."

Lu Shao smiled slightly and said with earnest thoughts; "If my second brother helped me with this, I will have to ask my grandfather for you."

This is a threat. If Lu Yan volunteered to persuade Tao Shunqin, it was for the family, and it should be, but if he refused, he would go to the old man Lu and say that in the end Lu Yan had to work hard, and he would have to drop a small belly chicken intestines. The title of view.

Lu Yan was furious in his heart, most of it was for the things that have happened these days, and half of it was for this, so he made no secret of his expression, put the wine glass on the table heavily, and said; "I can't take credit for this little brother, though. The Tao family is your younger brother and sister's mother-in-law, but it's always separated by two floors. There is absolutely no way to block people's wealth. People still listen to the truth."

Lu Shao had anticipated it, and was not angry, so he stopped him in one hand; "The second brother is bad, how can this be blocking people's money? It's just to discuss with his family... against the old side." , Just fighting for a good price. Write a letter, yes or no, always his family affair.

This is not for myself, but for the big guy. "

Lu Yan was silent for a long time and said, "I have to think about it first. I will talk to my brother tomorrow."

When Lu Shao sees it well, he will not stop him, let him go back, turn his head and ask people to inquire about the price of fur on Da Rong’s side, contact the businessman there, and plan to connect with the big businessman on Da Rong’s side. The price was 10% lower than the price Tao Shunqin gave, and he would definitely get the brown business in Qingzhou.

Lu Yan went back to the room and told Lin Jinrong about the matter... Lin Jinrong smiled; "His good day is coming. I will write to my uncle and ask his uncle to agree to him and stay with him."

Over the past few days, she and Lu Yan, one Chengri only takes medicine to take care of housework, the other only immerses himself in studying hard, and occasionally goes out for a stroll... Come back when it’s dark, be quiet, low-key and forbearing, and that’s what we waited for one day.

In the beginning, the brown hairs of Pingzhou and Qingzhou were the joint efforts of Lin Shiquan, Mei Baoqing and Tao Shunqin, who bought and sold high prices. When Lu Shao intervened, the price was not the first time. After Lu Shao tentatively accepted a batch, Mei Baoqing accepted it and gave Lu Shao reassurance. Then he took the goods he had bought and ran around in a horse-drawn carriage, and secretly sent them back to Lu Shao at a slightly lower price of 10%. Then the Tao family and the Lu family were competing for the right to collect the Mao Brown. Illusion.

Because Lu Shao made money, he saw that the Tao family had been robbing and many foreign merchants were buying. He believed that he would not lose money, so he kept buying with confidence. But what he didn't expect was that this was an empty game at all. Whether there was Mei Baoqing or Tao’s warehouse, the pile of brown hair was just a pretend, and the brown hair produced in Pingzhou and Qingzhou was basically They were all in the Lu family warehouse.

Brown is a good thing, very warm and wear-resistant, suitable for autumn, winter and early spring, so Dayong, North Desert, and even the northern part of the dynasty all like to use it, and the price has indeed been rising in recent years. But the value of a thing is fixed, and if it exceeds its value too much, it is abnormal. Like the accumulation of dangerous snow, there will always be times of collapse.

After Lin Jinrong's letter was sent out, although the Tao family did not give a clear answer, the Lao Fang returned to Pingzhou from Qingzhou and stayed in a small rented yard. He stayed behind closed doors all day long. Lu Shao knew that the Tao family probably agreed to join forces temporarily, so he waited patiently, and from time to time sold some of the browns in his hands. If he sold one horse, he sold ten horses, and he actually bought it for him. Some prosperous illusions come.

In the twinkling of an eye on the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month, the three brothers Lu Jing, Lu Lun, and Lu Shan returned to Pingzhou City together. The shop stewards of the Lu family also took a year’s bonus money with their owners. The Lu family was busy up and down, and Mrs. Lu invited people to sing acrobatics and entertained the staff in the small and large shops.

Lu Jianzhong, Lu Shao and his son are proud of the spring breeze.

When the banquet reached its climax, someone hurriedly sent a letter from outside. After Lu Shao opened it and read it, his smile solidified on his face, ignoring that there were so many stewards around him to accompany, he hurriedly stood up. She didn't dare to alarm Old Lady Lu, only winked at Lu Jianzhong and walked out.

Lu Jianzhong sat for a while, and also found an excuse to quit.

Lu Yan sat not far away, palms and feet wet.

Lin Jinrong carefully counted the bonus that Lu Yan had sent from the bead shop. Three thousand taels of silver were not a small amount. The old lady Lu really gave Lu Yan a good shop. Lin Jinrong rubbed the silver, thinking of the money he invested in the brown, and couldn't help but feel pain. When I was figuring out how to pull these things out of Lu Yan, he heard a noise outside the door. Lu Yan hurried in without speaking, just looking at her.

"The banquet was over so early?" Lin Jinrong felt ecstatic in his heart, and motioned for all those who were waiting to leave.

"No, my socks are a bit trendy, and I have to go out to accompany the guests when I change them in." Lu Yanfang whispered after only the husband and wife were left in the room; "Lao Fang is gone...The price of Mao Brown has fallen."

"Next, I am afraid that my uncle will be blamed. Grandfather is afraid that he will be suspicious... Can you hold it?" Lin Jinrong sighed softly, half solemnly. Originally, Pingzhou and Qingzhou were remote and the news was blocked. Many times, merchants from outside brought the news in. The price of goods was determined by large merchants like Mei Baoqing. The old party supported it, which was not bad, but if he didn't support it, he would naturally fall.
