Yumei Villa.

On the carriage.

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

"Which aspect?" Ouyang Heng asked.

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

"You have so much cotton in your house, are you accumulating it and not selling it?" Ouyang Heng asked doubtfully.

"A few people came to buy it, but my father thought their offer was too low, so he only sold part of it and still had a lot of it hoarded," Wang Shouyi said.

"This is not a good thing. Cotton should not be hoarded. Over time, something will go wrong. I once saw a squire in the north who bought a lot of cotton and hoarded it, hoping to make money by increasing the price. As a result, it accidentally caught fire.

Several warehouses of cotton were burned down, the squire was in debt, and the whole family hanged themselves together. It was a tragedy." Ouyang Heng sighed and shook his head.

"My dad was also worried that something would go wrong, but he was, well, how should I put it, a rather stubborn person. The price of cotton rose rapidly a while ago, so he wanted to cover it up for a while and raise the price. As a result...those companies

I just stopped buying them, now they are hoarded at home and no one wants them," Wang Shouyi said.

"Isn't your father in a hurry?" Ouyang Heng said calmly, he was a little wary. Logically speaking, what Wang Shouyi said should be the secret of the Wang family and should not be said outside casually.

But Wang Shouyi had no scruples and just spoke directly, as if talking about other people's affairs.

"He was not in a hurry. He didn't know he was possessed. He saw the price getting lower day by day. Summer is coming soon, and the previous cotton is almost old. The summer rainy season is coming, and the cotton absorbs moisture and is too easily damaged."

Wang Shouyi sighed.

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

"I have no choice. I have tried every trick, 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 can be done? The cotton at home must be sold. My father mainly wants the price to be higher, and it's not that he won't sell it if it is safe." Wang Shouyi said.

"Brother Wang, please tell me, what kind of character does your old man have? This is the first, and the second is, what is his inner value? Let's open the skylight and speak openly, and say what we have to say."

Ouyang Heng said straightforwardly.

"Three hundred cents per catty. If the price is lower than this, he won't sell it."

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

"Cotton outside costs only 200 cents per pound, but this one at your house costs 300 cents, which is an extra 100 cents per pound. No wonder no one wants it."

Ouyang Hengdao.

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

When the Supreme Emperor was in power, cotton cost about sixty cents per pound, which has not increased for many years. The price of cotton has only increased in recent years.

The reason is simple. Yang's Trading Company set up a textile factory in the capital, which increased the demand for cotton.

Seeing the profits brought by textile factories, textile factories have appeared in many places in other areas of Daqi.

"There is nothing we can do. Our whole family has warned us many times, but he doesn't listen. He is the head of the family. If he is stubborn, no one's words will work."

Wang Shouyi shook his head and said.

"What you say doesn't work? You are the most promising junior in the Wang family, right?" Ouyang Heng said in surprise.

"It doesn't work. My words are useless. Moreover, I am not the most promising in the Wang family. The most promising is my younger brother. He has passed the Jinshi examination and is working in the Hanlin Academy in the capital. Even my brother's words are not good.

make."

Wang Shouyi said.

"Your brother is a Jinshi? He will bring glory to his family."

GuhouOuyang Heng said in shock.

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 eliminate them, and all of them will have the status of Jinshi.

However, in the entire Qi State, anyone who can enter the top 100 and become a Jinshi is already a rare genius.

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

No wonder the Wang family is so powerful that Wang Shouyi can join Xuyu Palace, maybe because he has something to do with his younger brother.

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

Of course, there are more than just these few Jinshi surnamed Wang, because Wang is a common surname and has always ranked among the top three in the entire Daqi in terms of the number of surnames.

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

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

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

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

This is not nonsense. You must know that he was the one who spotted Ouyang Heng at a glance among the crowd.

His younger brother Wang Rongwen's vision was even more vicious than his own, 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 he couldn't tell. Could he just say that the current appearance was after a disguise, and the real appearance was not like this at all.

It's also Mickey's fault for deliberately disguising him as a handsome man. In Mickey's words, this is called doing the opposite.

The more noticeable 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 generally, they don't doubt those who are good-looking and dazzling.

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

"Don't your old men listen to your brother's words?" Ouyang Heng asked doubtfully.

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

"If you don't listen, my brother has written letters before, and even came back in person during the Chinese New Year and tried to persuade me more than once, but to no avail."

"If I weren't worried about my father's health, my brother and I would have sold the cotton quietly," Wang Shouyi said.

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

Ouyang Heng changed his mind.

Originally he was not prepared to take care of this matter.

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 it makes the Wang family panic all day long.

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

"Okay, then we have Brother Lao Ye. Brother Ye needs to take action in this matter."

Wang Shouyi bowed his hands and said.
