Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 475

"An imperial merchant from the capital?" Xia Junyan rarely showed surprise when she heard the news brought by Shopkeeper Sun.

"That's right." Shopkeeper Sun also felt that the matter was very difficult, "The big boss and the others thought they were here to do the shopping. After watching for a few days, they found that a prosperous shop in the state capital was sold by the Liu family of the imperial merchant. The servants were also walking around, asking about the buddies and embroiderers around, and within a few days the Liu family’s cloth shop opened. They brought embroiderers from the capital, and they all looked very new. Let’s keep a record of the past few days. The running water was affected somewhat."

"How did the great imperial merchant in the dignified capital get to Yuhua's mansion in the southwest?" Xia Junyan was confused, "What's more, who doesn't know that Yuhua's embroidered women and cloth are famous far and wide, so he is not afraid of being a big knife in front of Guan Gong. ?”

"You don't know. This Liu family started as a salt merchant, and there are many embroiderers in the south of the Yangtze River. Sixty percent of the tributes and satins donated to the palace every year are from Jiangnan. First, the Jiangnan side is in a hurry, afraid that the imperial court will divide the fabric business to us. In my opinion, this Liu family is here to smash the market. Although most of his embroiderers are from Jiangnan, the Liu family's main family But they have been living in the capital all the time, not to mention anything else, they just need to tell others that the embroidered lady they brought this time came from the capital, so let’s face each other with confidence..." Shopkeeper Sun smiled wryly and shook his head.

Xia Junyan expressed her understanding.Everything in the capital is good for ordinary people, and the things that come out of the capital have always been plated with gold and are in high demand.

"The big boss thinks that the Liu family is coming in a menacing way, and they won't leave unless they compare us to each other." Shopkeeper Sun was quite helpless. He never thought in his life that one day he would face the emperor merchant, "You think our Yuhua mansion is good?" With the help of Miss Fujun, Yi Yi has gained a bit of fame in the capital, if the Liu family compares, our Southwest Cloth Village will probably be inferior to those people in the south of the Yangtze River for the rest of our lives."

Do not!
It's not that simple!
Xia Junyan's heart sank, she had to go to the state capital immediately.After comforting shopkeeper Sun a few times, he immediately called Xiaoyu and others, and told them to look after the food shop and Xiuyi Pavilion.

"How many days are you going?" Xiaoyu didn't expect her to leave in such a hurry.

"It depends on the situation. If you encounter difficulties, you can go to Zhouji to find shopkeeper Sun, or you can go to the chamber of commerce." Seeing that Jiang Xiaolian had packed her luggage, Xia Junyan nodded, and took her to the state capital in a carriage .

Coming to Yu Hua again, Xia Junyan didn't expect to feel so heavy.But entertainment is indispensable, Mr. Zhou and a few cloth shop owners who are acquainted with each other set up a welcome banquet for her, Xia Junyan went there without knowing what to eat, and besides, everyone didn't have much intention to drink and have fun.It's just that after a few days of delay, the Liu family actually took over another shop, to be precise... directly paying three times the price for money.

After saying a few polite words and having a simple meal, Mr. Zhou saw that everyone was not interested, so he asked someone to withdraw the banquet and replace it with green tea.

Xia Junyan cut to the chase: "I've heard a lot about the Imperial Merchant Liu's family on the way here." As she spoke, she smiled, "I even heard that someone saw them transport tens of thousands of boxes from the inland river with their own eyes. It’s filled with gold and silver, so give us little peddlers in the backcountry a look.”

"Oh, those are all nonsense from others." Elder Zhou waved his hand, but his face was a little heavy, "But I guess the Liu family must have a lot of money. They started as a salt merchant, and now they are a famous imperial merchant. Their family has no money, and I’m afraid the whole world has no money.”
