Of course, Gao Zhang understood the difficulty of expanding production. The key point was that it was very difficult to convince those Xixia locals.
So I provided some ideas and suggestions to Duan Zhongping in the letter...
After Duan Zhongping finished reading this letter, he sat in front of the iron stove with a very ugly face and said nothing for a long time.
"Dad, what's going on? Is the Number One Scholar giving you another problem?"
"This is more than a simple problem. This, alas... you two should take a look."
After taking it, Duan Dalang took a closer look and couldn't help but frown and murmured softly.
"Isn't our No. 1 Guild a little too greedy? Even if those cotton products sell well, there is no need to spend so much to purchase cotton, right?"
"Yes, I also think that the Number One Scholar seems to be a bit over the top by doing this. If the business is good, we can't do this. After all, you have to eat one bite at a time."
I saw that my biological father and eldest brother had the same opinions and attitudes.
Duan Erlang couldn't help but feel a little pain in his balls, but he still braced himself and said to his biological father, Duan Zhongping.
"Dad, Duke Zhuangyuan has said that this matter must be done. In addition, he has already sent a letter to inform the Imperial City Division."
"I believe it won't be long before someone from the Imperial City Division will come over to assist you."
"What?!" Duan Zhongping and Duan Dalang, father and son, all bulged their eyes and looked at their second son in disbelief.
"These words were told to the child by Duke Zhuang Yuan. I think Huangsicheng should have received the news by now."
"Hiss...what does Mr. Zhuangyuan want to do? Isn't it just cotton..."
Duan Zhongping sat there with a dark expression on his face, tapping the table with his fingers.
I am a very simple businessman, and I am very experienced in doing business.
Moreover, Duan Zhongping has always believed in his own judgment. It is only by relying on this sharp judgment, which is similar to the sixth sense, that he can make Duan's Trading Company so prosperous in his own hands.
Only then was he able to cling to Zhuangyuan Gong's thigh that was so thick that he could hardly hold it.
But now, the No. 1 Scholar has to spend a lot of money to purchase cotton. But as a shrewd businessman, Duan Zhongping thought about it a few times.
I feel that if I really do this, the money I will earn may not be enough to cover 30% of this year's profit.
You must know that the cotton business is now a separate business. How can a separate business make less and less money?
The point is, the champion actually informed the Imperial City Division. What did he want to do?

At that moment, Zhongping and Duan Dalang looked puzzled.
After receiving the news, Yang Xiong and Yang Duzhi hurried to the Imperial City Siguan Office and saw Zhao Yaban who was holding a letter and waiting for him there.
"You're here, Zhongguan Yang. This is a letter from the number one scholar. I don't dare to specialize in it, so I can only send someone to work hard for you, Zhongguan Yang, to come over."
"Come on, let's take a closer look at what's going on..."
After Yang Xiong, who had become a lieutenant in the palace, took the letter, he walked to the stove and read the contents of the letter while warming himself.
The more he looked, the more Yang Xiong frowned, but the light in his eyes shone brighter.
Zhao Abban was sitting aside, observing Yang Douzhi's every move out of the corner of his eye.
He has already read the contents of this letter, and of course he is very clear about it, if the strategy in this letter can be implemented successfully.
Then, when the Song Dynasty really wants to raise a large army to attack Xixia, this strategy will definitely become a poisonous blade that can pierce Xixia's vital points.
At that time, the great contribution of the Imperial City Division will definitely not escape.
"Our family really didn't expect that Duke Zhuangyuan is still far away in the south of the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty, working hard for the business in the south of the Yangtze River."
"I still haven't forgotten Xixia in the north of the Song Dynasty. I can actually think of such a trick..."
"Zhongguan, do you really think that Duke Zhuang Yuan's plan can be successful?"
"Whether it succeeds or not, this is an opportunity. It is another opportunity for our Imperial City Division to participate in the major military event of conquering Xixia."
"Our Imperial City Department can do it, and the Ministry of War can also do it by collecting intelligence."
"But for the matter of the Zhuangyuan bus, we only asked our Imperial City Division, so the credit belongs to our Imperial City Division."
"As for whether the officials will agree, in our opinion, we are at least 70% sure that the officials are willing to listen to the suggestions of our champion."
"Then let's..."
"I'll invite Duan Zhongping now...that's all. It's better to wait until tomorrow for you and our family to meet in person and show your sincerity to Duan's trading company."
Although Duan Zhongping was a wealthy businessman from Bianliang, Tokyo, in the eyes of the Imperial City Governor, he was just a small shrimp.
However, Duan's Trading Company had a good relationship with Zhuangyuan Gong, and even many businesses involved Zhuangyuan Gong. Yang Douzhi felt that it was better for him to keep a low profile.
After all, I have made up my mind to follow the number one scholar in the future, so I don't want to be too ostentatious.

"The official's painting is so beautiful, I'm even embarrassed..."
Miss Shishi leaned on Zhao Ji's shoulder and looked at the portrait. The woman in the portrait looked exactly like herself.
She has ice muscles and jade bones, and is naturally charming. She is wearing a skirt with a half-open neckline. One hand is covering the neckline, and the other hand is holding a round fan to flutter butterflies among the flowers.
"Haha, it doesn't matter, I have already restrained myself..."
In this warm spring-like boudoir, Zhao Ji, who was writing with only a single piece of clothing, smiled proudly at this beauty who was as light as a swallow and had picturesque features.
Immediately, Miss Shishi was agitated, and her pink fist landed on her chest frequently and painlessly, and then fell lower and lower...
Ever since, there was another burst of thunder and fire.
For a long time, the two of them lay peacefully on the big bed where they had a lot of experience and many bizarre stories.
Carefully savor this charming moment between the two of you.
At this moment, the official Zhao Ji heard the whispers of Yang Jian and the teacher's girl's confidant maid outside the house.
This was nothing, but soon, the official heard the title Zhuang Yuan Gong and immediately opened his eyes.
The teacher girl on the side seemed to be aware of it, and asked in a sweet voice toward the door.
"Lu Qi, what's the matter?"
"Miss, Manager Yang sent a letter, saying that it was from the No. 1 Scholar to his master."
The official Zhao Ji gently patted Miss Shishi's shoulder, put on his own clothes, reached the door, opened a crack and stretched out his hand.
Withdrawing his hand and looking at the familiar handwriting on it, official Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile gently.
"This kid, I don't know what's going on..."
It’s the fifth update. I’m going to bed. I’ll continue to work hard on coding tomorrow.
