Prosperous commerce gradually began to appear in the south of Xincheng District, and those who were brought in from other places also found a place to take root here.

The most famous one is Zhang Ji Buxing. Zhang Ji Buxing opened five stores in Tokyo City in two years, and each store’s business was very good.

The main target is civilians, so the price is not expensive.

Zhang Qingyuan, the boss of Zhang Jibuxing, is also a sensible person. In recent years, the imperial court has been carrying out fortifications, and many people's income has been guaranteed. Eating is the first priority, and wearing is naturally the second priority.

Although the imperial court itself opened a show shop, it was impossible to meet everyone's needs after all. Such a huge market size has been targeted by many businessmen.

There is a reason why Zhang Qingyuan was able to grow up quickly. He married his beautiful daughter to Gu Yongzhi, the concubine of Shangyusi, and took a lot of advantages in the resources released by the Ministry of Commerce in recent years.

There are people in the court who are easy to do, and the five pieces of land they bought from the Ministry of Revenue are very cheap. Because the five stores have large shipments, they also have an advantage in the purchase price of fabrics, and the selling price can be said to be the lowest.

Most importantly, some of his main competitors were invited to have tea from time to time, and their business suddenly plummeted after drinking tea.

Zhang Qingyuan is a typical businessman who rose under the New Deal.

Let’s talk about the latest ranking of wealthy businessmen in the Song Dynasty selected in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Qingyuan ranked 20th with a net worth of 3 million yuan.

And those twenty big guys who were before either started with food or built houses and roads.

It is said that Zhang Jibufang also contracted a large amount of cotton and mulberry trees in the south last year, preparing to expand comprehensively on Jingji Road.

While Zhangji Bufang was making a fortune, some small Bufangs were facing bankruptcy.

The Li family cloth shop is just one of those cloth shops that are about to go bankrupt. It is very ordinary, run by a widow. The only thing that is unusual is that this widow is very beautiful.

However, people will not be unable to get over their own money.

An ordinary cloth robes from the Li family store sold for 50 cents, while the Zhang Ji store sold for only 40 cents.

On this day, an ordinary-looking man walked into the Li family's cloth shop. He was not here to buy clothes.

When he walked in, there was an argument inside.

"Li Qiu'e, don't toast or not eat the punishment!"

The person who spoke was a man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek, with a fierce expression on his face.

The other person was a young woman about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was born with fair skin and beautiful appearance. At this time, she frowned and said, "This is the business left by my husband, and I will not resell it!"

The man said, "Li Qiu'e, you should think hard on your own! Our Zhang family will not lose money to you!"

Li Yue'e said bluntly: "Butler Zhang, you'd better leave. I still have to do business here!"

The butler Zhang sneered and said, "Do business? There is no business here? For your own good, we should sell it to us instead of sticking to this loss-making business! My young master said that the price can be as high as 50 cents!"

"50 stakes? Then I will give 500 stakes!"

The man who had just entered the door spoke leisurely.

Butler Zhang was slightly stunned, looked over, and was a little surprised: "What did you say just now?"

"I said I paid 500 coins!"

Butler Zhang suddenly laughed: "You are crazy! You want to pay 500 coins in this small cloth store!"

Li Qiu'e also thought she had heard it wrong for a moment and stared at the man in a daze.

The store of this cloth store was bought by her husband for 50 guan during his lifetime. Now he is a regular customer. Although he cannot compare with Zhang Ji cloth store, there are also some regular customers on weekdays. They can support their families and are worth a little money.

However, it is definitely not worth 500 coins!

The man took out a stack of hand and said, "Boss Li, count it and see if it is five hundred stags. I'll give it again if it's not enough!"

When the butler saw the money on the front cabinet, his eyes almost shook.

Three years ago, you could buy ten stores here, and even now, you could buy 8 stores.

Is this person crazy?

Butler Zhang's face turned pale: "Who are you? Are you deliberately trying to get along with our Zhang Jibuxing?"

"Yes, I just plan to get along with your Zhang Ji Bushang. If you go back, you will tell your master. This year, the goal of Li's clothing store is to make Zhang Ji Bushang go bankrupt."

Butler Zhang was so angry that his beard was crooked: "Do you dare to sign up?"

"You are not qualified to know my name."

Butler Zhang left angrily and said before leaving: "500 guan! 500 guan this small broken place! You are crazy!"

Li Qiu'e also found this incredible.

"Please ask Boss Li to meet someone with me. That person wants to buy the Li family store."

"I am sorry, I cannot agree to your request. This store is left by my husband and cannot be sold."

"Boss Li misunderstood. According to the new commercial law of the Song Dynasty, my official family just wanted to invest in the Li family store, and the actual operating rights were still yours."

"Why did your official buy my small shop?"

"You will know when Boss Li goes to see him."

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. Li Yue'e got off the carriage and entered Yongsheng Villa.

Zhao Huan was fiddling with Ye Chong to a spinning wheel.

When Li Qiu'e entered, she was slightly stunned. She was just an ordinary folk girl. The moment she stepped into Yongsheng Villa, she knew that the status of the master here was extraordinary.

She stood aside honestly and said very politely: "Little girl Li Qiu'e, I have met several officials."

Zhao Huan took a towel wet with warm water from Shao Chengzhang, wiped his hands clean and said, "Li Qiu'e, you are finally here, hurry up and take the seat!"

Next, it was tea and snacks.

Li Qiu'e was puzzled in her heart, wondering who the man was, why she came to her, and wondering why the spinning wheel was different from ordinary spinning wheels.

Zhao Huan introduced himself: "My name is Zhao Tan. I want to do the cloth store business, so I want to find you to cooperate with."

"Officer Zhao is so serious. The little girl's cloth store is just a small business. You should go to Zhang Ji cloth store."

"Zhang Jibuxing started with the imperial court, and the interests behind it are too deeply involved and are not suitable for me."

"Since official Zhao knew that Zhang Ji Buxing had a backer as the court, why did he still have to do the cloth business? This cloth business is not easy to do now."

Zhao Huan pointed to the spinning lane: "Of course it depends on it!"

Li Qiu'e's eyes also shifted, this was a spinning wheel that she had never seen before.

An average spinning wheel has only one spinning wheel, but this spinning wheel has many spinning wheels and is lying horizontally on the ground.

"This spinning wheel is called Huaxing spinning wheel. Its speed is 8 times that of an ordinary spinning wheel, and it only requires one person to operate it."

Li Qiu'e was shocked on the spot. This was the first time she was shocked.

Only those who have done the cloth business like her know what eight times actually means.

Why can Zhangji Bushang buy 25 cents per piece? Its sufficient shipment is a very important reason.

Many times, like the Li family cloth store, there are transactions but no goods, because they cannot afford to hire anyone, now only Li Yue'e works hard to weave cloth every day.

It took two months for Li Yue'e to weave a piece of cloth, and it was very hard.

However, if we had this Huaxing spinning wheel now, it would only take about 7 days for the same piece of cloth.

Her shipment volume is guaranteed to a certain extent.

However, there are other reasons why Zhang Ji Bushang can grow, because the quantity is large enough and the prices given by suppliers are also low. The most important thing is that because of the imperial background, it also has an advantage in transportation.

Li Qiu'e stood up and observed the Huaxing spinning wheel curiously. She was very good at weaving cloth. She saw it unique on the spot and couldn't help but secretly amaze it.

Li Qiu'e couldn't help but ask, "Who is the sacred person who created it?"

"We are a master, so we don't have to ask who created it. With it, we can guarantee shipment."

In the past, because the people were very poor, even if they had goods, they might not be able to afford them. However, in recent years, many people have gradually gained money, but the production and supply of goods cannot keep up.

The main reason is that the production speed is too slow.

With this Huaxing spinning wheel, shipments will increase significantly.

Once the shipment volume keeps up, Li Qiu'e will have the confidence to hire more people, and the shipment volume will become larger and larger at that time.

The price of fabric cut into a piece of clothing is 15 meter, 10 meter manual labor, and 30 meter can be used for one piece of cloth.

In the past, I could only sell fifteen pieces of clothes a month, each piece sold for 50 yuan. Li Qiu'e took it herself, and there was no labor cost.

She can only transfer 525 cents a month, which is better than working on a construction site. She has 2 stagnant monthly money per month.

But this was when she was alone. She had hired someone before, but later they were poached by Zhang Ji Bu Store at a high price.

If she uses this kind of loom, she can weave one piece of cloth in seven days, sell 30 pieces of clothes in seven days, earn 35 cents per piece of clothes, and she can earn 1,150 cents in seven days!

The weaving speed has accelerated, and she has the confidence to suppress the price and go to compete for business with Zhang Ji cloth shop!

Seeing the expression on Li Qiu'e's face changing constantly, Zhao Huan knew that she was settled.

As a businessman, how can you not settle the accounts?

Similarly, Zhao Huan governed the country by doing business, and his accounts were settled clearly.

Anyone who uses his loom can only make money and no losses.

The reason he looked for Li Qiu'e was because Li Qiu'e was very suitable for the candidate he was looking for.
