Lin Bai really didn't expect that the impact would be so big, especially regarding the Hulu invasion.
At that time, he just had the mentality of giving it a try. The fourth child was under so much pressure, so he thought about whether he could relieve the other party's pressure. But this is Jiangnan after all, and it is still far away from Kyoto. He doesn't know whether his words will make it out of Jinling.
So he just gave it a try.
However, he obviously underestimated his fame. To be precise, he underestimated the passion in the heart of the boy from Dali.
Most of those who read were young people, fresh-blooded and full of passion in their hearts. Lin Bai's words directly ignited their passion.
So this matter spread throughout Jinling in just one night.
Maybe it’s not possible to really reach Tianting directly.
Of course, this was what happened later, and Lin Bai didn't know, but it was too troublesome for him at the moment, and there was really too much promiscuity outside. The three ladies agreed that it was safer to keep their husbands at home for the time being.
In addition, many veterans were transferred to serve as nursing homes to prevent some rich lady from climbing over the wall.
It wasn't until a few days later that things calmed down.
But the reputation of Qingfeng Shixian has reached the sky, so let’s not talk about the poems. An article written by a young man who left the court and a piece of national integrity directly made him the idol of young people in the entire Jiangnan and the ideal husband in the eyes of countless women.
However, fame is fame. Although Lin Bai's fame has brought a lot of traffic to Su's Clothing Store, there are still some who don't buy it.
That evening, Song Qianqian returned home angrily.
Su Mingyue didn't have much expression on her face.
During this time, Song Qianqian has been working in the shop, while Su Mingyue has been working more in the textile factory.
Yes!
Before Lin Bai could take the exam, Iron Lady had already arranged for Lu Dashan to come to Jinling and open a branch factory with the help of Sihai Bank.
It occupies a large area. Lin Bai visited it once and made some comments. It felt like a modern textile factory.
Not to mention the Iron Lady's ability, she not only built the textile factory, but also recruited a large number of veterans, and all the young and strong ones were given to Lao Mo and Lao Ma for training.
This is naturally what Lin Bai meant.
In the future, Cloth Shop's goods will need to be distributed all over the world, and they will need to rely on these people, so...
"Glum, what's wrong?"
Lin Bai didn't go out for several days. He felt like he was being taken care of by three rich women, hiding his beauty in a golden house. When the rich women came back, he would immediately pay attention to him.
"Sister, they are simply bullying, we cannot compromise."
Song Qianqian ignored her man and looked at Su Mingyue, with an angry look on her face.
Su Mingyue frowned and said: "Changlong Buzhuang is an imperial merchant, I'm afraid..."
"Hey Hey hey!!"
Some people were unhappy, "I asked these two rich ladies, can you give me some face? What's going on?"
Hearing this, Song Qianqian looked at Lin Bai and said, "Husband, you must study hard. In the future, you will get the top prize and become a high official. Let's see who else dares to bully us."
Lin Bai:......
Can this all be related to reading? Do it on purpose!
Su Mingyue said: "Husband, don't worry, we will find a solution for business matters..."
Just in the middle of her words, she noticed someone's evil look, as if to say, "You haven't told me the truth yet, right?" At night...hehe!
She suddenly blushed.
It turns out that the matter started with the opening of Su's Cloth Store. When Su's Cloth Store entered Jinling, it directly lowered the price to the lowest price. All the major cloth merchants in the city complained.
However, when they thought that Su's Cloth Shop had just arrived and wanted to make a name for themselves, and later learned that they were engaging in a price war with Jiangzhou Clothing Shop, they ignored it. In their opinion, this must not last long, and they would naturally recover in a few days. Normal.
But who would have thought that Su's Cloth Store has been selling at this price. Now they couldn't sit still. The major cloth merchants united to find Song Qianqian and asked Su's Cloth Store to return the price to normal levels.
At that time, Su Mingyue hadn't come yet, so Song Qianqian naturally refused to agree and directly fought back. In addition, Lin Bai's reputation was getting stronger and stronger, so it was difficult for the major cloth shops to attack.
But this time it was different. They learned about the new textile machine from somewhere and asked the Su family to hand over the new textile machine.
Lin Bai suddenly became unhappy when he heard this, "Who gave them face?"
"that is!"
Song Qianqian echoed, with an angry look on her face.
Su Mingyue shook her head, "This time they have an excuse. The imperial court has sent a task to all the major cloth shops to collect 300,000 pieces of cloth."
"Changlong Cloth Shop is an imperial merchant, and they are responsible for taking the lead and placing orders for major cloth shops..."
Three hundred thousand pieces of cloth?
so much?
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why does the court need so much cloth?"
Qin Kexin just came back at this time, looked at Lin Bai and said: "At the Juren gathering, my husband said that he would not get married, not pay compensation, not cede land, and not pay tribute. Isn't it because of this?"
Lin Bai looked confused and said to himself: That was copied by your husband, okay?
Seeing that her husband really didn't know, Qin Kexin explained: "These three hundred thousand pieces of cloth are annual cloth for Wu Dynasty and Dali. It is basically equivalent to the tribute mentioned by my husband."
What?
Dali actually wants to pay tribute to Wu Dynasty and Dali?
Lin Bai felt bad. He always thought that Li Chao was very powerful. It wasn't until he heard about the incident at Bian Guan not long ago that he realized that was not the case.
Now that I heard this, I was even more confused.
Qin Kexin added: "It's not a tribute in name, it's a cooperation. The cloth, ceramics, tea, etc. that I left were extremely popular in various dynasties. The Wu Dynasty and Dali exchanged things with us, but they were obviously not of equal value." Yes, and the things given to us by Wu Dynasty and Dali are basically rubbish."
"This is all caused by the peace factions. Cooperation in name is actually paying tribute in disguise, in exchange for temporary peace."
After all, she is an official lady and knows more than others.
So fucked?
Lin Bai couldn't help but want to scold her, then he looked at Su Mingyue and asked, "Is there one in previous years?"
Su Mingyue nodded, "When my father was still here, he would hand over some cloth before the end of each year. The price given by the court for these cloths was extremely low, and he basically lost money."
"This time Changlong Cloth Shop has joined forces with several big cloth shops to use this as an excuse to ask us to hand over our looms. They promised that as long as we are willing to hand over our looms, the cloth for the next three years will no longer be given to Su Shibuzhuang sent orders."
"And if we don't hand it over, they will report it to the Jiangning Weaving Bureau and let the officials force us to hand it over."
Jiangning Textile Bureau was a textile institution established by the imperial court in Jiangnan. It specialized in providing textile supplies and some strange gadgets to the royal family and the imperial court.
The entire textile industry in Jiangnan was under their jurisdiction.
A large part of the various textiles they provided to the imperial court were handed over to powerful cloth shops, and these were the imperial merchants.
Imperial merchants not only have reputation bonuses, but also have considerable profits, but Suibu is an exception. These are used to pay tribute and are additional expenses. The court will not give too much money. Basically, it is quite good to maintain the cost.
"Whatever was reported to Jiangning Weaving Bureau, their purpose is simply to get textile machines."
Song Qianqian said angrily.
