Cheng Yaojin's words made Li Zexuan couldn't help but secretly say that Old Cheng was still very principled in dealing with others. He never took things that were not his own, even if he encountered something very attractive.
"Uncle Cheng, actually..."
"Haha! Xiaoxuan, you don't need to persuade me anymore! Since this is a benefit you seek for your farmers, then I have no reason to interfere. Let's wait until next year! Then I will send some farmers to your village. Don’t refuse to go to school and gain experience!”
Li Zexuan opened his mouth to say something, but was directly interrupted by Cheng Yaojin, and Lao Cheng said firmly.
Li Zexuan thought about it and said with a smile: "Haha, thank you Uncle Cheng for your consideration for the farmers in my nephew's family. But in fact, Uncle Cheng, if you also want farmers in Guogong Mansion to grow vegetables in greenhouses, you don't have to wait until next year. You just need to wait until next year." It will be done in half a month!
At that time, the maturity periods of the vegetables in our two greenhouses happened to be staggered. Even if there was a short period of overlap, it would not have a great impact on my farmers! Furthermore, the stock of cloth in Chang'an City is getting tighter and tighter now, and it will be much plentiful half a month ago, so Uncle Cheng, you can wait a little longer! "
Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "This really won't affect the dealers in your village~?"
Li Zexuan said: "The impact will be minimal! Even if the maturity periods of vegetables overlap, we can use waterways to transport vegetables to other states and counties for sale!"
Transporting vegetables by water is actually an option. Chang'an's water transportation was developed in this era, and thanks to the Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an could reach the south directly through the Grand Canal.
However, the preservation and loss of vegetables during transportation is a big problem. Therefore, Li Zexuan still does not intend to take this path unless it is absolutely necessary.
After all, Chang'an City has a population of one million. This huge city can completely consume the greenhouse vegetables on his land. Besides, even if there are too many greenhouse vegetables, Li Zexuan will not personally intervene. Doesn't he still have a chamber of commerce? Members of the Chamber of Commerce must be very keen on greenhouse vegetables.
Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily and said: "Haha! If it really has no impact on the farmers in your village, then half a month later, the farmers in the Cheng family will also start to build greenhouses! By the way, how can such a thing be done without Qin? Second brother? You won’t mind if I tell him about this later, right?”
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Of course my nephew won't mind. Even if Uncle Cheng doesn't tell me, my nephew will tell Uncle Qin about the vegetables in the greenhouse! Our three families share weal and woe and have the same destiny, so why should we be so clear-cut about it!"
In fact, if Cheng Yaojin doesn't come today, Li Zexuan plans to go to Qin's house tomorrow to ask Qin Qiong if he wants to introduce greenhouse vegetables. Qin Qiong is his wife's adoptive father and usually treats Li Zexuan as his own son. Whenever something happens to Li Zexuan, Qin Qiong was the first to stand up and always agreed to Li Zexuan's request unconditionally. For example, for the previous military training in the academy, Qin Qiong accepted Li Zexuan's invitation without hesitation and came to the academy to be a military training instructor for a month.
So whenever something good happens, Li Zexuan must first think about giving Qin Qiong a share of it.
As for Cheng Yaojin, he was certainly very kind to the junior Li Zexuan. Old Cheng was loyal and valued friendship. Many times, Li Zexuan was criticized, and his behavior became more violent and direct. Li Zexuan respected this old guy very much, otherwise he would be here today. He wouldn't tell Cheng Yaojin about the vegetables in the greenhouse.
Cheng Yaojin took a deep look at Li Zexuan and said with a rare seriousness: "Okay! I value love and righteousness. Chou Niu didn't misjudge you, and I didn't misjudge you either! But Xiaoxuan, don't worry. Regarding the vegetables in the greenhouse, I Second brother Qin will never tell outsiders, and I will also tell the farmers on the farm to keep it a secret! This winter, the vegetables in Chang'an City will depend on the three of us! Haha! Now I don't have to ask your majesty to eat vegetables. wanted!"

The second day.
"Cheer up, everyone. There will definitely be many people coming here to buy cloth today, so please work hard!"
Early in the morning, the bosses of the cloth shops in the east and west cities all lectured their workers in unison, with a look of confused confidence on their faces.
"Yes, yes, shopkeeper, don't worry!"
"Shopkeeper, why are you so sure that there will be many talented people coming to buy cloth from us today?"
Some guys couldn't help but ask.
The shopkeeper smiled proudly, with a strategizing expression on his face, and said: "Humph! I got the news that the cloth in Li Ji's clothing store and Cao's cloth shop were all sold out yesterday. No one disturbed the situation today, and those common people just You can come back and sell our price-increased cloth! Hey! I have mobilized 5,000 pieces of white cloth from Fuzhou yesterday, and it should be shipped soon! Hahaha!"
"The shopkeeper is so wise~!"
The guys sucked up right away!
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Listen to me, today the coarse cloth in our shop will cost three cents a piece! The fine silk will cost five cents a piece, and the silk will cost ten cents a piece! We are not allowed to sell it for a penny less!"
Three cents per piece, compared to the previous three cents for two pieces, the price of coarse cloth has now doubled!
"Shopkeeper, what if other shops have lower prices than ours?"
One of the guys was worried.
The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "Hmph! I said three coins a piece is three coins a piece. Without Marquis Yong'an and Cao Wendong causing trouble, the price of coarse cloth in Chang'an City would only be this price today! Do you all hear me clearly?"
"Listen clearly~!"
…………………………………………
Many times, greed can bewitch people's eyes. When a person's heart is full of greed, the danger is not far away from that person!
"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper! It's not good! It's not good!"
Dongshi, Liu Ji Buzhuang.
The market has been open for half an hour, but not a single transaction has been completed here. Some people came over to look at the cloth and silk, but after hearing the high prices, they were all deterred! The shopkeeper here was not in a hurry at first. He thought that when those who bought cloth found that Liji Clothing Store and Caojia Clothing Shop did not have cheap cloth, they would definitely come back and buy their expensive cloth at a higher price.
But half an hour passed, and still no one came to buy cloth. The shopkeeper in the store suddenly couldn't sit still and quickly sent someone to inquire about the news. A quarter of an hour later, the man who had inquired about the information came back in a hurry, shouting as he ran.
The shopkeeper suddenly became excited. He stepped forward quickly and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
"Huh~! Shopkeeper, what's wrong, Cao's Cloth Shop shipped a large amount of coarse cloth from nowhere today. Now the door of their store is filled with pieces of cloth, at least tens of thousands! People are running there. Buy some cloth!”
