Chapter 1144: Its too late to regret

The general meaning of the part is that Prince Xian is so powerful even though he has so many troops. We are not saying that we will deprive Prince Xian of his throne or take away her troops, but we have to be on guard. Your Majesty, you should send more people to keep an eye on her.

Be on point!

The other part is green tea. Your Majesty, the virtuous prince has made great contributions to our country of Qilin, which will benefit the society and the future. For a great hero like her, we cannot let her be tired. We have to provide for her.

The first is to arouse the king's defense against the wise prince and sow discord between them;

The second type is even more ruthless, it is to directly reduce military power and use the idle title of prince.

It can be said that these censors have caught Qi Baoer's so-called "mistake", and this matter is very involved. At least the merchants in the five cities around the capital have changed their expressions when they heard the words "Prince Xian".

, their censor used this matter to really impeach Prince Xian, and it was hard for the emperor to say anything.

Then, all these pieces of advice came into Qi Bao'er's hands.

Judging from this point alone, the emperor Jun Chenyuan seems to be a little obsessed with love. I wonder what Qi Baoer really thinks...

Well, this is not a concern for them. After all, Jun Chenyuan knows how rich Qi Baoer is, so how can he care about the money in the pockets of those merchants?!

Jun Chenyuan laughed and pinched the little girl's swollen cheeks, "Now each of them has regretted it over and over again and is no longer angry."

He didn't coax her. Indeed, every merchant now regretted it and wished they could turn back time.

This matter starts from the time when the Li family, the merchant of Youcheng who was the first to seek help from Prince Xian’s Mansion, began.

The ancestors of the Li family passed down the weaving business and opened a weaving workshop, and several generations have been guarding the weaving workshop.

It can be said that except for the first-generation merchant who is a bit enterprising, the younger generations of the Li family are all conservative.

However, the head of the Li family of this generation gave birth to a genetically mutated eldest son, Li Ying, who was a radical.

However, some of this is due to the fact that Li Jiawei's fabric defense is almost at its end.

There is no cotton product in the Acropolis, and cotton is not introduced to the Acropolis from other places. The source of cloth in the Acropolis has always been hemp, ramie and kudzu, which are made into fibers through processes and then woven into cloth.

There are already looms for this kind of weaving now, but there were still no looms before Li Ying came to Beijing. It is purely handmade.

This is related to the economy and topography of Youcheng. It is a relatively remote and impoverished city in the Qilin Kingdom, so basically no one will use Youcheng to sell anything they have, so things like looms have been around for more than ten years.

What appeared was something that Youcheng didn’t even see two years ago.

From this, you can imagine how precious the cloth in Youcheng is, and how considerable the profits are. This is why the Li family has been able to survive for several generations. It is an exclusive business, and rare goods are good for living.

However, this situation was broken seven years ago by a man named Wenli.

This Wenli was originally a scholar from Youcheng. Seven years ago, he went to Qingcheng to take the provincial examination, but the result was not satisfactory and he failed.

This is already the sixth provincial examination that Wenli has participated in.

This girl probably finally realized after this failure that she was not destined to pursue an official career.

His family's life was actually not very good. His father passed away when he was very young. He relied on his mother to do odd jobs to support others, and his education was supported by his uncle who was a businessman.

.

If he didn't pursue an official career and continue taking exams, he would be sorry for his mother and his uncle who had supported him all the way. He couldn't go back empty-handed.

Perhaps because he has a business gene, when he was wandering the streets, he happened to come across a cloth shop in the city that was doing business unethically. He clearly agreed on a large amount of cloth, but he worked hard to transport it.

They didn't admit that they had ordered the cloth, they just wanted to force the other party to have no choice but to lower the price of the cloth so that they could reduce costs.

Wenli looked at the sluggish merchant and the commercial genes in his head immediately started to stir. There was only one Li family cloth shop in Youcheng, and the Li family produced and sold very little, so the Li family's cloth shop was always in short supply.

It's a rare commodity and it's an exclusive business. Naturally, the price is not cheap. How can ordinary people afford it?

Wenli took another look at the goods in the hands of the merchants, and found that none of them were of good quality fabrics. They were almost all linen. The only two items that were considered expensive were two pieces of brocade cloth.

This man's mind suddenly turned around and he tried his best.

He borrowed some money from his classmates and bought all the cloth from the traders, then transported it back to Youcheng and started working as a street vendor on the street.

It is not easy to produce a scholar in a poor area. Usually he is responsible for the appearance, and the same is true for arts and sciences. Therefore, not only the government will not trouble him, but even the Li family will turn a blind eye. The main reason is that he did not foresee what happened when he entered the Li family.

severity.

Earning money is addictive. He easily earned nearly a hundred taels in less than ten days. He felt that his previous time was a waste. He had been studying for many years and had many classmates. To others,

It is not difficult for him to obtain cloth that is difficult to obtain, and there is no risk in opening his own workshop.

In this way, within two years, Wenli had squeezed the Li family to such an extent that they could hardly survive in Youcheng. On the one hand, they bought a house and a shop, but the Li family could not even keep their old guest room.

Well, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. This is how business is done. If you don’t innovate and keep resting on your laurels, others will use innovative methods to squeeze you out.

But some things don't hurt even if they don't happen to you. The Li family was severely hit. The Li family even wanted to commit suicide several times to apologize to their ancestors.

Just at this time, a friend of the Li family came back from Beijing. Seeing that the Li family was in such an embarrassing situation, he mentioned the fact that Qi Baoer had spread the word and taught skills for free.

The judge advised Mr. Li: "The work done by your Li family's workshop and cloth village is really too mediocre. If your Li family didn't come from a barren land like Youcheng, you Li family probably wouldn't be able to support your generation."

"Now there are some opportunities with Prince Xian. Although there are rumors that Prince Xian's purpose is unclear and it seems to be detrimental to merchants, I don't think so. Who is Prince Xian? If she is really short of money, why would she use such money?

Troublesome solution?"

Needless to say, she took it away. As long as she said she needed it, who would dare not to give it to her?!

"Besides, now that your Li family has reached such a state, what else can you think of that is worthy of others' attention?"

Is it possible to keep an eye on the lives of the dogs in your Li family?

The Li family thought about it for themselves, and they were right. As they are now, they are still very scared.

Then the eldest son of the Li family went to the capital alone with a bag on his back. When he came back a month later, he not only brought back the people sent by Prince Xian to help him, but also brought back 20,000 taels of silver.

The Li family no longer built a cloth farm, but bought a farm outside Youcheng and built a paper-making workshop and a pen-making workshop. They also opened a two-story bookstore in the city with each floor of nearly 400 square meters.

The situation of the Li family is well known to everyone, so everyone knows where the money comes from without having to guess what he did.

How is this different from poverty alleviation?!

Do you think any of those who used to hide so far away don’t regret it?
