Chapter 357： Female champion VS dandy 22 ┃ Yu Yuxian's tragedy

Feng Yi began a bitter career of winning the heirloom. Fortunately, Zhuang Li acted as a military advisor by his side, so he didn't panic so much.

The other princes suddenly laughed secretly when they heard that Zhuang Li was the only think tank under Feng Yi's command.

What kind of waves can these two dudes make?

However, on the first day of going to the Ministry of Housing, Zhuang Li blew up the yamen. He completed the accounting of the dozens of kilograms of old accounts sent by the Ministry of Accounts on the same day, and found a tricky amount from an unmatched sum, and then uncovered a major corruption case, and immediately wrote an account and handed it to the palace.

The emperor sent Captain Long Jin to investigate, and within half a month, he raided the homes of five officials, one of them, by coincidence, was Zhuang Li's father, Zhuang Ai.

In the end, Zhuang Ai was sentenced to three thousand li in exile and left the capital wearing shackles.

Zhuang Yuqing and Zhuang Yunzhu were homeless and didn't know where to go. The once prosperous banker disappeared in an instant.

After finishing this important event, Zhuang Li and Feng Yi went to the Ministry of War in rotation again, and in just a few days, they improved the guns, cannons, and warships, and made great contributions. The Minister of War has repeatedly asked the emperor for a decree to reward the two of them again.

Later, in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel, Zhuang Li performed extremely well and made great contributions frequently, and Feng Yi, who he fully supported, also rose with the tide.

The emperor relied more and more on the two of them, not only summoned them every day, but also often ordered them to stay in the palace.

It was only at this time that the other princes realized how intelligent and close-minded Zhuang Li was. With this person's assistance, the crown prince is simply at your fingertips!

This also made them reach a consensus - to kill Feng Yi, the first person who should be killed is Zhuang Li.

Ever since Zhuang Li painted a portrait of a woman, Yu Yuxian had a very bad impression of this person. In her mind, Zhuang Li is a typical representative of the dandy children, except for his appearance, there is almost nothing in him.

However, now, after hearing about this person's deeds of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain in Liubu, she broke out in a cold sweat after realizing it. She couldn't help but wonder, did Zhuang Li paint that portrait because he saw his gender?

Did he notice something?

However, Yu Yuxian quickly denied this speculation. Thinking from another perspective, if she realized the secret of Zhuang Li's deceitful deception, she would definitely not let this person go. How is it enough to just be demoted? She will definitely send Zhuang Li to the guillotine.

Therefore, Zhuang Li must have found nothing, otherwise he would not let himself go easily.

Thinking of this, Yu Yuxian was relieved again.

At present, she has hoarded a lot of cotton cloth, only to make a fortune after the cold weather.

At the same time, Zhuang Xiaohui was being carried to the horse by Wan Jun, and he hurriedly ordered: "Run to the place where there is candlelight at the foot of the mountain, don't look back!" The words fell and slapped the horse's **** hard.

The horses neighed and ran fast.

Zhuang Xiaohui lay on the horse and scolded and walked away: "I don't want to run away! Wanjun, you are so good! When I come back, I will scratch your face!"

The sound of horses' hooves and curses disappeared in the dim woods, and Wan Jun raised his sword and concentrated on slashing the swarming wolves.

They defeated all the robbers on the road, but were cornered by a group of beasts. Fortunately, the person he cared about most had escaped, and he had nothing to worry about.

Wan Jun swung a big saber furiously, but after all, his fists were no match for four. The number of wolves is too huge, kill one, and turn around and four or five rush towards them.

When he was scarred and exhausted, there was another rush of hooves in the dark woods. Zhuang Xiaohui actually went and returned.

She drove the horse to trample a wolf to death, then got into the abandoned carriage, took off an oil lamp fixed on the wall of the carriage, and used the hay to set the whole carriage on fire.

The raging flames scared the wolves away from approaching, while Zhuang Xiaohui quickly ran to Wan Jun's side, seized the opportunity to stab the dagger into the **** of the wolf king who was fighting with him, and stirred it a few times.

The wolf king wailed and fell down, his intestines rushing out.

Wan Jun: "..."

Wan Jun's subordinate: "..."

Could this girl be too cruel?

In a daze, another wolf was pierced by Zhuang Xiaohui.

Ow! I don't know which wolf shouted in fear, so all the wolves ran away, as fast as a shadow.

Zhuang Xiaohui ran to Wan Jun and asked anxiously, "Are you all right?"

Wan Jun swallowed, his tone a little dry: "I'm fine."

"Let's chop some firewood and burn the fire vigorously, and the wild beasts in the vicinity will not dare to come when they see it." Zhuang Xiaohui ordered in an orderly manner: "Hurry up to heal those who are injured, and repair the carriage for those who are not injured, and we will leave quickly after dawn. ."

"Good owner!" Everyone agreed, with more admiration and conviction in their eyes.

This girl is really not simple, she can endure all kinds of hardships on the road, and she is not afraid at all when she is fighting for her life. She is sure to do a lot in the future.

The carriage gradually burned down. Zhuang Xiaohui picked up a large knife and poked it in the ashes, digging out the silver ingots that she had no time to take away, and kicking them into the grass to cool down.

After recovering the loss, she grinned brightly, revealing two rows of white teeth.

What does it mean to love money like one's life? That's it.

Seeing her happy smile, Wan Jun couldn't help laughing. His chest was hot, as if something was burning.

After putting the silver in the package, Zhuang Xiaohui seemed to think of something, and said with claws, "Wanjun, you are so good, my mother will scratch your face!"

Wan Jun could no longer restrain his emotions, and laughed heartily. After a while, Zhuang Xiaohui's bell-like laughter also came in.

This dangerous night suddenly became cheerful.

---

When the group returned to the capital, the factory with only 13 machines had been expanded by Zhuang Li to 30 machines, and another cotton gin was built elsewhere.

The cotton that Zhuang Xiaohui brought back was enough for the two factories to run vigorously. Their output in one day, other cloth mills or handicraftsmen can't keep up with a month's hard work.

The group of people in the chamber of commerce waited silently to see Zhuang Xiaohui's joke. She couldn't get the goods there, and the common people could only buy cloth from other shops. The weather is getting colder and colder, the demand for cotton cloth has increased greatly, and the supply of goods is all monopolized by them. At that time, they can set the price as high as they want.

Apart from gritting their teeth, what else can the common people do?

However, the reality is completely contrary to the expectations of the Chamber of Commerce.

Zhuang Xiaohui still didn't raise the price. The cloth in the shop was sold out immediately, as if it was inexhaustible. She also made a lot of padded jackets and hung them in the store. The price is very cheap, as long as anyone with a little surplus food at home can afford them.

Xiu Niang, who sewed padded jackets for Zhuang Xiaohui, said with emotion: "This is the first time I sew clothes that I can afford. The owner is really kind and generous."

That's the benefit of increased productivity. The residual value created by the replacement of labor by machines will benefit every ordinary person.

Some wealthy people also went to Zhuang Xiaohui's shop to buy winter clothes for their family members, and many people bought dozens or hundreds of them at one time.

Zhuang Xiaohui's cotton cloths and jackets quickly occupied 99% of the market share in the capital, and the remaining 1% were dignitaries who only wore silk and satin clothes and looked down on cotton cloth.

Without them, Zhuang Xiaohui still made a lot of money.

The common people have also greatly benefited. They are used to being thrifty and thrifty. A padded jacket can be worn for several years, and a piece of cloth can be used from winter to next summer, so sales are gradually saturated.

The cloth in the city could not be sold, so Zhuang Xiaohui hired an **** agency to **** the cloth to the nearby townships or prefectures for sale. In addition to the freight and labor costs, the price was still very cheap, so the amount of export sales was huge.

Many non-local cloth dealers came to buy it, so Zhuang Xiaohui started a wholesale business.

In short, her supply of goods was unimaginable to the people in the Chamber of Commerce, so the plan to encircle and suppress her naturally failed.

When late autumn came and winter was approaching, all the people in the Chamber of Commerce realized that they had been miserable by Zhuang Xiaohui! The common people in the capital have already bought enough fabrics and ready-to-wear, and the fabrics they have hoarded in their hands will naturally not be able to be sold!

If you want to imitate Zhuang Xiaohui and ship the cloth to other places to sell, the freight will be added to the cost, and the local cloth dealers can easily kill them because they have no price advantage at all.

This is the case with mass commodities, one is quality, and the other is price. If other people are better than you in both, then you will never make a penny.

So there was a strange phenomenon in the capital.

The once prosperous time-honored cloth workshops closed one by one, and in just half a month, seven or eight out of ten were down.

Yu Yuxian still wanted to struggle, so he piled up the hoarded fabrics at the door and hung a 50% off sale sign. Even so, her cloth was not much cheaper than Zhuang Xiaohui's, and the quality was uneven. The people who came and went stopped to look, touched, shook their heads and left.

First, they have no spare money, and second, they are not fools, and of course they will not buy this kind of cloth that is neither good nor cheap.

Yu Yuxian had no choice but to continue to cut the price, and when it hit a 30% discount, he sold a little bit one after another.

In the coming year, this batch of cloth will either be damp, moldy, or faded, making it even more unsaleable.

Yu Yuxian didn't know what to do to recover the loss. Naturally, she was reluctant to send Bu Baibai out, so she had to continue discounting, from 30% to 100%, but it still couldn't sell.

The market has long been saturated, and the purchasing power of ordinary people is very limited. She does not understand the principle of this, and the business will naturally fail.

So this batch of goods is all smashed into her hands.

The cost of 3,000 taels of silver was only sold for dozens of taels, and the loss was so large that Yu Yuxian almost vomited blood when he opened the account book.

She stood at the door of the store, looking at the sign that the shopkeeper was checking and hanging up, her eyes were full of confusion. Without the cash, she won't be able to get the goods in the spring of next year, and the store will not be able to open at all.

She can only choose to sell the shop to raise some expenses for the winter.

At this moment, Zhuang Xiaohui came out of the store next door, wearing a gorgeous skirt, with heavy makeup on her face, and her lips hooked with bright red lips, she said with a smile that was not a smile: "I said long ago, who made me If the business can't go on, I'll let anyone go bankrupt."

Yu Yuxian turned to look at her, her face gradually twisted.

Zhuang Xiaohui came close to her ear and asked in a low voice, "It's very cold this winter. Do you have any money left to buy rice and charcoal?"

Yu Yuxian's ferocious face stiffened for a moment, and then uncontrollably showed a bit of embarrassment. It seemed that she really didn't have the money to buy rice and charcoal.

She glared at Zhuang Xiaohui angrily and flung her sleeves away.

Zhuang Xiaohui waved her hand and said mockingly, "Yu Yuxian, that's what happened in your life!"

Yu Yuxian paused for a moment, and then walked faster. On the way, he was caught by a few men from the Chamber of Commerce, and he enthusiastically pulled him into the flower building. She had a fire in her heart that needed to be vented, and the people in the Chamber of Commerce treated her very well on weekdays, and there was a lot of flattery in their conversations, so she didn't become wary, and she refused to take a seat.

Zhuang Li, who just happened to pass by, lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, playing with his taste: "Her tragedy has begun."

7480 asked curiously, "What tragedy?"

"Dayan is popular in the south, and Yu Yuxian is not bad. People in the Chamber of Commerce play dirty on weekdays, so I'm afraid they would have coveted her long ago. Without the protection of that official robe, there is no such thing as Feng Yu. Backer, if she is so reckless, something will happen."

Zhuang Li said earnestly: "When going out, not only girls have to learn to protect themselves, but boys too."

7480 rolled his eyes: "Master, if you are so kind, go in and tell Yu Yuxian."

"No, it's her turn to have a taste of the things Xiaohui met in her previous life. It's called tit-for-tat." Zhuang Li pulled the curtain of the car and smiled loosely.
