Chapter 663

Although Luoyang relies on the Grand Canal, its economy continues to rise and constantly challenges the position of Chang'an, at the moment, Chang'an city is still the richest place in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, with the construction of brick road, the transportation of Chang'an city is greatly convenient, and the smooth silk road makes the future prospect of Chang'an City higher.

The price of cotton padded clothes and quilts is just within the acceptance range of the people in Chang'an city. Cotton is warm and soft. It is the best thing to keep out the cold. This has been confirmed by later generations. No one who has touched cotton padded clothes and quilts has been conquered by it.

The transportation vehicles of Mojia village, treading on the cold snow and water, went back and forth to Chang'an city without fatigue. This is probably the busiest road in the north of Datang. The full vehicles of cotton clothes and quilts had just been unloaded, and then they were robbed by the people of Chang'an city. Under the full production of Mojia village, the supply is still in short supply.

"Mojiazi!"

Lord Wei looked at the cotton padded clothes and quilts in front of him and couldn't help hating them in his heart. The Wei family is the largest cloth merchant in Chang'an city. Naturally, they also manage fur clothes and silk quilts to keep out the cold. For this winter, the Wei family has deliberately hoarded a lot of fur clothes to make a lot of money. However, the popularity of cotton coats in Mojia village completely bankrupt the Wei family's wealth plan.

Compared with high-quality and cheap cotton coats, the high price of fur clothes does not have any advantage at all, let alone expensive silk quilts. Since the emergence of cotton clothes and quilts in Chang'an City, the Wei family's fur clothes and silk quilts can't be sold at all. It should have been the peak season, but now it's even off-season than the off-season.

"Father, don't worry. Mojia village has only 1000 mu of cotton. Even if some cotton is shipped back from Gaochang and other countries, it doesn't matter if there is not much inventory." Wei Si'an comforted.

"But now the heavy snow is blocked, and the cotton padded clothes and quilts in Mojia village can only be sold in Chang'an city. When Mojia village is sold out, how many people in Chang'an city do you think need fur clothes!" Lord Wei said helplessly. At this moment, he hopes that the brick road can be unblocked quickly. Every night and one day, the fur market in Chang'an city will shrink.

"My father didn't worry about the temporary failure. I didn't expect that Mojia village was forced to hurry and took the initiative to light up the cotton. My father can guarantee that once the news of cotton warmth comes out, the price of fur and silk will fall sharply, which is the most fatal." the Lord Wei said with a worried face.

When Wei Si settled down, his face changed greatly and he said in a surprised voice, "that's the goods we stored up before."

Taking advantage of Tuyuhun's victory, the Wei family hoarded a lot of fur and silk. If the price plummeted, the Wei family must have suffered heavy losses.

"It's a big loss!" Lord Wei said helplessly.

It's not just Wei's family leader. As soon as the cotton padded clothes and quilts are out, the cloth merchants are all sad. They gnash their teeth and say:

"Mojiazi!"

………………

"Hahaha, Mozi is really a catfish. It hurts!" Chai Lingwu laughed when he got the news.

"Young master, you don't know. This cotton coat is so popular. Almost every family in Chang'an City has one piece. It's said that many court officials also wear cotton coats." the Chai mansion housekeeper smiled. Shanghu people don't lack warm things at all. The main force of this purchase is almost middle-class people in Chang'an city.

"That's natural. In front of your majesty, which official dares to wear silk, satin, mink fur and leather clothes. At the moment, when the cotton coat comes out, the price is moderate and extremely warm. Isn't it right? But this time it's cheaper for the Mexican family and made a lot of money!" Chai Lingwu sneered.

The minds of all officials in the court were similar to those of Su Luosheng, but once the news that all the people in the court were wearing cotton coats came out, it contributed to the upsurge of cotton coats, and even many upper class families couldn't help buying them.

As the childe of the Chai family, Chai Lingwu naturally doesn't need mink fur to keep warm, and he doesn't need a cotton coat. However, he started with a set of quilt, and the experience is excellent. It's really a good thing to keep out the cold.

"That's right! Young master, there's news from the family. I want the young master to find a way to get some cotton seeds!" the Chai family housekeeper suddenly said.

"Oh! Those old guys are also interested in cotton!" Chai Lingwu raised his eyebrows.

The housekeeper of Chai mansion smiled bitterly when he saw the young master's attitude towards the family, but he dutifully said: "a cotton coat sold for 200 Wen, but it's only a few kilograms. According to mojiazi, cotton per mu can harvest hundreds of kilograms of cotton. In this way, it's more cost-effective than farming."

Chai Lingwu sneered: "that's because the Mojia village has cotton. If cotton is planted everywhere, people can plant it themselves. Who will buy it!"

The Chai family housekeeper said helplessly, "the cotton in Mojia village is only 1000 mu now. I'm afraid it can only supply Chang'an and Luoyang. Datang still has such a large blank area. Planting cotton will surely make no loss in a short time."

The north is not very suitable for sericulture, and the yield is not high. However, if it is suitable for planting cotton, it may be another source of wealth.

Chai Lingwu said impatiently, "well, I know. After spring, young master will naturally bring back a batch of cotton seeds from the western regions!"

Now all the cotton seeds in the Tang Dynasty are in the hands of Mojia village. I'm afraid it will cost a lot if they are in the hands of Mojia village. It's just that the chamber of Commerce of the western regions is going to the western regions. Naturally, it's not very difficult to collect a batch of cotton seeds.

Fu Bo nodded, hesitated and said, "there's another news. The childe from Luoyang saw that the situation was wrong and has begun to close the net in advance. Do we want to help?"

Among the forces that jointly encircled and suppressed the Mojia village this time, the Shandong aristocratic family was the main force, and the Guanlong aristocratic family cooperated. After all, the interests of the Mojia village were too great. How can these aristocratic families not be excited? Lu Shuang saw that the Mojia village was constantly accumulating wealth, and he decided to start in advance for fear of late or change.

Chai Lingwu thought and asked, "do you think they can succeed?"

"Eh!" the Chai family housekeeper suddenly thought that according to his idea, no one could resist the joint encirclement and suppression of so many aristocratic families, but the Chai family housekeeper was overwhelmed by the endless means of Mohism.

"Don't worry about others. My Chai family won't do anything this time. After all, Merton helped the Chai family once in the military parade. If we fall into the well, I'm afraid it will damage our Chai family's reputation." Chai Lingwu shook his head.

With Chai Lingwu's dandy character, how can he care about the reputation of the Chai family? If he can really carve up the Mojia village or control the Mojia village, he will naturally spare no effort. However, comparing the miraculous Mojia Zi with Zheng Lu, Chai Lingwu involuntarily tends to the Merton side.

"I know how to do it!" the Chai family housekeeper bowed.

The Chai family didn't make a move and didn't stop Lu Shuang's determination to kill Mojia village. The snow had just stopped and the weather had just cleared up. The news of major businesses jointly pressing for debt from Mojia village spread all over Chang'an City in an instant.
