on the carriage.

Hearing Ouyang Heng's words, Wang Shouyi's eyes lit up and said, "Our two families can cooperate."

"Which aspect?" Ouyang Heng asked.

"Cotton, our Wang family has a lot of cotton fields in Zaohua Town, and we plant a lot every year..." Wang Shouyi said.

"There is so much cotton in your family, are they all overstocked and not sold?" Ouyang Heng asked doubtfully.

"A few companies came to buy them, but my father thought their bids were too low, so they only sold some of them, and there were still a lot of hoarding." Wang Shouyi said.

"This is not a good thing. Cotton should not be hoarded. Over time, I am afraid that something will go wrong. I have seen a squire in the north who bought a lot of cotton and hoarded it, hoping to make money by raising prices, but accidentally caught fire. The cotton in several warehouses was all burned, the squire owed a whole lot of debt, and the whole family hanged themselves together, it was a tragedy." Ouyang Heng sighed and shook his head.

"My father is also worried that something will go wrong, but he, hey, how should I put it, is rather stubborn. The price of cotton has risen rapidly a while ago, so he wanted to cover it up for a while and raise the price. As a result... those few companies Just don't buy it, and now no one wants it at home." Wang Shouyi said.

"Is your father not in a hurry?" Ouyang Heng said calmly, he was a little vigilant, logically speaking, what Wang Shouyi said should be a confidential matter of the Wang family, and should not be said outside casually.

But Wang Shouyi had no scruples, so he said it directly, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

"He was not in a hurry, he didn't know that he was caught by evil spirits. Seeing that the price was getting lower and lower day by day, summer will come soon, and the cotton in the past is almost old. The summer rainy season is coming, and the cotton absorbs moisture and is too easy to damage."

Wang Shouyi sighed.

"Then find a way to convince him." Ouyang Heng said.

"I can't help it. I've tried everything, but I just can't achieve my goal." Wang Shouyi shook his head.

"Then we can't do this business." Ouyang Heng frowned.

"Maybe it will work? The cotton at home will definitely be sold. My father mainly asks for a higher price, and it's not that it's safe not to sell it." Wang Shouyi said.

"Brother Wang, tell me, what kind of character is your old man? This is first, and second, what is the price in his heart? Let's open the skylight and speak honestly, and say what you want."

Ouyang Heng said directly.

"Three hundred Wen per catty, if it is lower than this price, he will not sell it."

Wang Shouyi shook his head helplessly, apparently feeling that the price was a bit high.

"Cotton outside costs only [-] Wen a catty, but yours costs [-] Wen a catty, which is [-] Wen a catty more. No wonder no one wants it."

Ouyang Heng said.

Cotton prices, generally speaking, are on an upward trend.

When the Supreme Emperor was in power, cotton was about [-] cents a catty, and it had not risen for many years. The price of cotton only rose in recent years.

The reason is simple. Yang's firm has set up a textile factory in the capital, and the demand for cotton has increased.

Seeing the profits brought by the textile factories, textile factories appeared one after another in many places in other regions of Daqi.

"I can't help it. Our family has warned me many times, but he doesn't listen. He is the head of the family. If he becomes stubborn, no one can speak well."

Wang Shouyi shook his head.

"Your words are not easy to use? You are the most promising junior of the Wang family!" Ouyang Heng said in surprise.

"It's not easy, my words are useless, and I'm not the most promising member of the Wang family. The most promising one is my younger brother. He has already passed the Jinshi examination and works in the Imperial Academy in the capital. Even my younger brother's words are not good. Make."

Wang Shouyi said.

"Your brother is a Jinshi? Guangyao lintel."

Ouyang Heng said in astonishment.

This time, he was truly surprised.

In the one-year general examination, the number of people actually admitted will generally not exceed 200. After passing the general examination, they will enter the palace examination. The palace examination will not be eliminated, and all of them will have the status of Jinshi.

However, in the entire Qi State, being able to enter the top 100 and become Jinshi is already a rare genius.

In an ordinary county town, a Juren is very valuable, let alone a Jinshi.

No wonder the Wang family was so powerful, and Wang Shouyi was able to join Xuyu Palace, probably because of his younger brother's relationship.

"Is your younger brother Wang Rongwen, Wang Hezhi, or Wang Qibao?" The few people Ouyang Heng called out were Jinshi with the surname Wang that he remembered, and they were all young.

Of course, there are not only a few Jinshi with the surname Wang, because the surname Wang is a common surname, ranking among the top three in terms of the number of surnames in the entire Daqi.

The more people there are, the more likely it is to be a Jinshi.

"Wang Rongwen is my younger brother, Brother Ye, have you met my younger brother?" Wang Shouyi was slightly taken aback.

"I met once, but at a banquet, your brother will definitely not remember me." Ouyang Heng smiled slightly.

"No, Brother Ye, if you are in the crowd, everyone will remember you at the first sight." Wang Shouyi said.

This is not just nonsense, you know, he was the one who saw Ouyang Heng at a glance in the crowd.

His younger brother Wang Rongwen's vision was even more vicious than his, so how could he not remember Ouyang Heng.

"Maybe it's because of the distance. There were a lot of people that day."

Ouyang Heng didn't tell the real reason, so there's no way to say it. Could it be that he can just say that the current appearance is after a disguise, and the real appearance is not like this at all.

It's also my fault for Mi Qi, who deliberately disguised him as a handsome man. In Mi Qi's words, this is called doing the opposite.

The more conspicuous it is, the easier it is to hide.

Most people think that those who hide their heads and show their tails have bad intentions, but under normal circumstances, they don't suspect those who are good-looking and dazzling.

"The next time I see my brother, I will tell him." Wang Shouyi said.

"Does your old man not listen to what your younger brother says?" Ouyang Heng asked doubtfully.

A Jinshi, even though he is the son of an old man, but his status is there, and normal people will listen to him more or less.

"If you don't listen, my brother wrote a letter before, and even came back in person during the Chinese New Year, and tried to persuade him more than once, but it was useless."

"If it wasn't for worrying about my father's health, my brother and I had a private discussion, or we could have sold the cotton quietly," Wang Shouyi said.

"When I leave Yumei Villa, I'll go talk to your old man and try it out." Ouyang Heng said.

Ouyang Heng changed his mind.

Originally, he wasn't going to take care of it.

However, he drew a conclusion from Wang Shouyi's words.

The amount of cotton hoarded by the Wang family may be extremely large, so much that the Wang family is in a state of panic all day long.

Otherwise, how could Wang Rongwen in the capital rush back to his hometown just for this matter.

"Okay, then Brother Ye is here, Brother Ye has to take charge of this matter."

Wang Shouyi bowed his hands and saluted.
