Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

It was very hot in Chang'an in August, so few people should have gone out.

But because of the Li Shen Chamber of Commerce, many businessmen began to do business boldly, and the number of purchases began to increase. Many large merchants who opened workshops in Chang'an benefited, among which the Wang family of Taiyuan was one of them.

The linen business was particularly good this month, so a large amount of linen was transferred from Luoyang. The shopkeeper of the Wang family is called Wang Zhong, and he has been in charge of the cloth business in Chang'an.

"Shopkeeper Wang is not good." A waiter ran in hurriedly.

"Why are you so panicked?" Shopkeeper Wang asked calmly.

"Shopkeeper, the batch of linen we shipped from Luoyang was soaked by the rain a few days ago."

"What? How many are there? Shouldn't it be covered with wooden boards?" Wang Zhong asked anxiously,

"The exact number of people who reported the news is not very clear. They only said that there were about a hundred or so carts. It was sunny and sunny when they set off, and no one expected it would rain heavily, so the planks were not nailed down. The person who reported the news said that it was estimated to be about a hundred thousand dollars. .”

"A hundred thousand dollars?" Fortunately, although the amount was large, it was still within the tolerance range. After all, the Wang family has a big business, and a hundred thousand yuan is not too much, but it is not too little either. Because the wealth of each family has shrunk by [-]% since the Shenzhu incident, one hundred thousand guan is still money now.

"Tell them to enter the city quietly and cover everything tightly. When they get to the warehouse, take them out to dry without making any noise." Wang Zhong thought for a moment and came up with a solution. He had done this before.

News spread from the Wang family's shop in Dongshi that a batch of high-quality linen would be shipped from Luoyang soon.

The Wang family's cloth business mainly focuses on wholesale, so as soon as the news came out, many businessmen from other places and local retailers went to prepare to make reservations.

This is a capital monopoly. The wholesale business of linen is done by aristocratic families, and others can only go offline.

"Everyone, the linen hasn't arrived yet, probably today and tomorrow. Because the quantity is limited, we can start ordering now, and we need to pay a deposit first. The quality of the linen we have this time is the same as before, absolutely top-notch." Wang Zhong came forward. the businessmen said.

"I want a hundred."

"I want fifty horses"

"I want three hundred horses"

Everyone shouted when they heard that the quantity was limited.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the opportunity has come." Wang Xuance walked in hurriedly.

"What opportunity has come?" Li Shen was confused.

"Didn't the prince say that he wanted the Chamber of Commerce to speculate on something? Now the opportunity has come." Wang Xuance finally understood what Li Shen meant by speculation.

"Oh? What an opportunity, haven't we already planned it?" Li Shen and Wang Xuance had planned a play to create hype. Hype or not, it will be all for future generations.

"It's not our plan. The Wang family in Taiyuan is pre-selling linen today, but the prince and our people saw the Wang family's fleet sneaking into their warehouse in batches two days ago.

Our people deliberately approached a coachman and invited him to have a drink. The coachman told him that he was cheating on him. It rained heavily on the second day after they set off from Luoyang. The strong wind blew away the wooden boards and the linen was soaked by the rain. Wet.

I guess they arrived two days ago and are selling them now because they are waiting for the linen to dry. "Wang Xuance finished telling what happened in one breath.

"You really get what you want. Is Xuance God looking after us? Wang Wei, you are a bastard and you are always staring at me. Now I will see how you die."

Li Shen said happily that his plan was fake, but this time he was making it real. If it was true or false, it would be true.

Moreover, Li Shen was still worried about Wang Weiqi's impeachment a few days ago. This time he finally had a chance to take revenge.

"Xuance, let our people go and buy some. Send a few more people, but you don't need to collect much. I just need to get the evidence first. Let people pay attention to the movements of the Wang family cloth shop at all times." Li Shen thought for a while to see if there was anything else. What a flaw.

"Then my lord, I'll ask someone to make arrangements right now." Wang Xuance agreed.

"Go ahead, our plan will be implemented after this time. Who can tell the truth from the lies?"

Wang Xuance went down, and Li Shen leaned on the chair, looked at the beams and said: "I am worried that there is no one to teach me, and a sticky bean bag falls from the sky."

The next day, all the merchants who had ordered linen brought carriages to the Wang family factory to pick up the goods.

This time the Wang family changed from their normal routine. They usually move in by themselves and the Wang family is responsible for counting the items. But this time it was different. The Wang family actually sent a man to be responsible for moving the items, and the businessman could take them away after counting the items and paying the money.

There is no need to sign any contract, it is clean and tidy.

During this period, they were accompanied by stewards and shopkeepers. The merchants were flattered by this kind of treatment.

Carloads of linen were transported away, which made Wang Zhong smile. Not only did this batch of linen not lose money, it was also [-]% more expensive than usual. He admires himself, but what if they find out?

The money and goods are clear, who knows if you did it yourself, and who dares to report to the official, the Wang family is not easy to mess with. The Wang family in Taiyuan is a family with five surnames and seven favorites.

These people can only admit that they are unlucky. It doesn't matter if you say you won't buy in the future. There are only a few linen wholesalers in Chang'an, and they are all from aristocratic families. No one is the same.

Moreover, the quality of Wang's linen is considered to be of high quality.

Just think about water, electricity, internet, and heating in future generations.

Only half a day after all the linens were sold, someone discovered that the quality of the linens was wrong. Most of them had watermarks. Because they were packed in boxes, they didn't take a closer look. Only the top layer was good.

At this time, someone went to the Wang family's cloth shop.

"Shopkeeper Wang, the quality of your cloth this time is not good. There are watermarks on it. It must have been soaked in water. How do you want us to sell it?" the businessman said anxiously.

"What's the watermark? You were watching when the goods were just loaded. The money and goods have already been cleared. You will come back now and say there is a problem with the goods. Are you deliberately blackmailing my Wang family?" Wang Zhong asked with a straight face.

"This... Shopkeeper Wang, we have cooperated so many times, how could we blackmail you? This is really a problem with your goods." The businessman was angry, but did not dare to show up. He was because of the manager next to him. I was talking to him, so I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice.

"Okay, even if there is a water mark, it has already dried, and the linen cannot be washed in water. If the clothes are dirty, they have to be washed in water. What are you afraid of?" said the old god Wang Zhong.

"But Shopkeeper Wang, you've made linen soaked with water and you're still selling it to us as new. The price is still [-]% higher, which is a bit unreasonable. You might as well refund it to me."

"The goods are fully paid, no refund or exchange. It's just that you didn't check clearly at the time. It has nothing to do with our Wang family. If you are messing around, be careful I will send you to the Yamen for punishment." Wang Zhong also revealed his ugly face.

"You...Okay, I'll go to the Yamen to sue you." After saying that, the businessman left.
