In the restaurant, these big landlords watched Wu Youcai leave. Because they were unreasonable, no one could really say anything about Wu Youcai left.

However, when these people stared at the big white bowl in front of them and recalled what Wu Youcai said before, for some reason, they felt that the air became more and more "sweet".

"Old Zhao, Your Majesty is the first to find you. You gathered us together. What should you do if you say this?" asked a man.

"Old Qian, what you said, I just mentioned this to you. Didn't you respond enthusiastically at that time?" Lao Zhao said.

"Didn't you come with Lao Sun at that time? How good it was, but now King Yannan doesn't want it anymore. Can His Majesty's Weaving Bureau eat so much cotton?" Lao Qian said.

"Don't add me, Lao Zhao came to me with Lao Li at that time!" Lao Sun said.

"I was also found by Lao Zhao!" Lao Li said with a lip.

"Hey? Why have you come to me? Xiao Zhou, Xiao Wu, Xiao Zheng, Xiao Wang, weren't you very enthusiastic before? Why don't you talk now?" Old Zhao was a little anxious.

"It's up to Brother Zhao..." The four young men opposite said in unison.

"I'm the one who makes the decision? Okay, I'll be the one who makes the decision! You guys are afraid of a ball? Since Your Majesty has started, Prince Gao wants it, so I'll sell it to Your Majesty!" said Lao Zhao.

"Your Majesty, will you accept it?" Lao Qian asked in a low voice, "After all, this matter itself is actually a fight between Your Majesty and Gao Li. Your Majesty is raising prices, and we are actually selling favors to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty insists on not accepting it, we dare not cause trouble for Your Majesty."

"It will definitely be accepted." Old Zhao's voice was even lower, "Your Majesty has made up his mind to fight with King Yan Nan to the end. Since that's the case, he cannot lose the people's hearts. If he doesn't accept this time, and he will have something similar next time, who dares to help him?"

"Let's go! Go and find His Majesty's special envoy!" said one person.

"Can you not mention the word 'make'..."

Everyone looked at the blank big bowl in front of them and rushed out immediately.

When he opened the door and approached him, the waiter smiled and said, "How many shopkeepers? Have you eaten?"

"Eat? Nothing!" a landlord roared.

"You really ate?" The waiter looked surprised.

"Grass! I didn't eat it!" the man shouted even more.

"Then please ask the shopkeepers to settle the account." The waiter smiled.

"No need to look for it!" Old Zhao threw a broken silver into the wooden plate in front of the waiter.

"This master is not enough." The waiter smiled.

"Not enough? We didn't eat anything..." Lao Zhao didn't want to mention the word "eat".

"You are such a man. Don't worry, I'll calculate it for you slowly. You don't need to pay for the house. You have used a total of ten bowls. These ten bowls are white jade bowls and are products from Lizhuang."

"What?" A man rushed back and picked up a bowl. Sure enough, there was a very standard word "Li" engraved under the bowl. Looking at the bowl again, it was extremely round and completely different from that kind of thick bowl.

This white jade bowl is a mechanically processed product from Lizhuang. It is a product made by Lizhuang during machining. It uses a lathe to turn a piece of low-quality jade into the shape of a bowl. In fact, it is not as good as a porcelain bowl in essence. It is due to the material of white jade and the accuracy brought by mechanical processing. This white jade bowl is very short of the world and the price is very high. Basically, as soon as it comes out, it will be collected by various wealthy families. Some restaurants with rows will order a batch to enter to enter high-end customers. Because the surface of this bowl does not have any glaze, and pigments can easily penetrate, so it can only be used to drink.

"Shopkeeper Wu ate a lot of soybeans and a lot of onions before... and then he looked at every bowl... so, these white jade bowls must not be used. So, this account. You have to settle it."

After the waiter said that, the landlords also understood that Wu Youcai was really cheating them seriously.

"Bastard! I think you are here to cheat us together!" one person shouted.

The waiter immediately smiled and said, "Where are you, you are here, and we are just errands. If you are unhappy, go and ask Manager Wu for the account. Don't make things difficult for us as servants."

"you!"

"Okay! One person! Give money!" Old Zhao could see clearly that this is Pingyang City, and the people here are xenophobic. Now a prince has appeared in Pingyang City, and the entire county town is benefiting from it. Lizhuang has brought huge wealth opportunities to Pingyang City. Who doesn't like Gao Li? Now they are jointly raising prices, and walking on the street without getting beaten is already a praising the peace and prosperity.

"How much money?" Lao Zhao asked.

"We are a small shop and we won't cheat you. We will collect as much as we get from Lizhuang, silver, fifty taels." The waiter said.

"Total?" Lao Qian asked, five taels per one, it is actually not expensive.

"You are having fun with me, is there such a cheap thing in Lizhuang? Of course it is one." The waiter smiled.

"A broken bowl is fifty taels? You little slut dare to play with me?" Old Qian roared.

The waiter smiled and said, "I am a little slut. Of course I don't dare to play with you. If you don't believe me, the Lizhuang flagship store is on the other two streets. Just take one to ask."

Asked, he dared to go? When he went to the flagship store, he saw that good guy, the price-good guy came to the door. Don’t let the spider demons tie up the bar on the roof for winter to eat?

Lao Qian glanced at Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao said in a deep voice: "Give it!"

For the big landlords like them, fifty taels of silver per person is actually not much, and they can't even feel it. What they really hate is this kind of quarrel. For example, when you buy buns in the morning, you only cost one dollar, but today he insists on raising the price by two yuan. No one is short of this dollar, but who can tolerate it?

Therefore, these big landlords who came here due to temporary price increases had to face the price increase of the waiter.

I gave the money and each person had a bowl. How to say it, the workmanship of this bowl is really good. Although it is just a leisurely leisure in Lizhuang, it is produced by Lizhuang after all, and the quality is not. After the car is ready, it is polished overall, very bright, and the natural stone patterns are also very beautiful.

Just looking at this bowl, it feels awkward no matter how you look at it.

Old Qian raised his hand angrily and was about to fall. Old Zhao stopped him and said, "Don't fall, take it back, at least fifty taels per person."

Old Qian said: "Can this be kept? That bastard Wu Youcai...is that all!"

Old Zhao smiled and said, "They are here to disgust us, how is that possible!"

As he was talking, a landlord picked up the bowl and secretly lowered his head to smell it. When Lao Qian saw it, he raised his hand and threw it away.

The news that Lizhuang stopped purchasing cotton was rumored back to Shangjing on the same day and came to a cabinet specifically targeting Gao Li to discuss.

The members of this cabinet include Liu Bo, the right prime minister, the eighth prince, several large imperial merchants, and the Grand Secretary of the Geju Academy. When this group of people heard this news, their first reaction was that they did not believe it. Because at this time, Lizhuang's cotton cloth was almost monopolized, although because Lizhuang had put second-class looms into the market before, the quality of cotton cloth in the private cloth shops also increased rapidly. However, the truly high-end and mid-range cotton cloth was still firmly in the hands of Lizhuang. Once Lizhuang stopped producing cotton cloth, the loss was definitely not a little bit, and some share might even be eaten by ordinary cloth shops.

"I don't believe it." The person who spoke was the emperor's Shang Chu Zhongyuan, who was in his fifties. The royal business was booming in his hands. This person has always been stable and not radical. "I have been studying Gao Li for a day or two. Gao Li is extremely obsessed with gold and silver. He will never be able to bear such losses and ignore it."

"Not necessarily." The person who spoke was right-minister Liu Bo, "Gao Li is not stupid. This time it was an entanglement between him and the landlord on the surface, but it was essentially a fight between him and His Majesty. Gao Li is extremely smart. He spent money to stabilize the north by himself. Now the scale of beet planting is extremely large, and the supply of beets is in short supply in the Central Plains. Xiong Yao has not committed any more offenses to the grassland for three years. Lizhuang has started to make profits because of its exclusive beets. If it can continue to make steady profits, it will definitely be able to recover the investment as soon as possible and reach a partnership with Xiong Yao. If you can make such a long-term layout, if you endure the pain for a while, I think he can do it."

Chu Zhongyuan said: "This person's layout is naturally great. This time he stopped purchasing all cotton, and he did not have room for Yanan. Could it be that he really wanted to auction cotton? If the price of cotton can soar, the public may feel resentful."

"People's resentment can only be blamed on His Majesty." The Eighth Prince sighed.

“…”

“…”

We are not stupid here, we all understand that Gao Li's move is quite ruthless. We will never give in if there is no cotton cloth production next year. And this year, Gao Li can send a large amount of cotton seeds to Yanan, which is a major agricultural country with a vast land and sparse population. If Gao Li's farming equipment enters the site...

"What should I do? There is still a problem in front of me. We have made a double purchase. If Gao Li stops the acquisition, we will have to eat the remaining cotton. His Majesty has given a lot of money, but can we use these cotton?" Liu Bo looked at Chu Zhongyuan again.

"I have asked the people from the weaving bureau that our spinning machine and weaving machine can be used, but the most troublesome part is actually the part before that, that is the sorting of cotton." Chu Zhongyuan sighed, "Lizhuang has always purchased cotton wool they sorted at the origin, without cotton seeds and skins. They have special cotton gins and special balers. And no one knows how these machines work. Because of this, cotton farmers have not hired workers to tear cotton by hand for a long time. If we eat so much seed cotton, just tear cotton wool..."

Everyone present looked at each other, and everyone knew that this was not that easy, but everyone knew that there was almost no room for maneuver in this matter.

But no one dares to say that word.
