Now that it has been decided, he must make a complete plan and do his best to do it. He must make Li Qingman the oiran.

In order to be sure, Wang Kang taught Li Qingman several ditties and dances. Although Li Qingman's own talents were very good, after all, those taught by Wang Kang were more eye-catching.

This will also give her a little more confidence when running for courtesan.

While Wang Kang was teaching Li Qingman, on the other side, Liu Shan encountered a problem.

Yesterday, He An came to seek refuge with the precious purple dyeing formula, and he started dyeing the cloth early this morning.

However, Liushan did not purchase much raw silk fabric before. Now that he has the formula, he must quickly stock up on purple silk, but the raw materials are insufficient.

Today, he went to the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce to borrow money again, and when he was preparing to purchase a large amount of raw silk, he found that there were not many retail merchants.

Some of them simply refused to sell. What should I do? Liushan looked sad. He finally had such a good opportunity to suppress Fuyang Buzhuang and make a lot of money. This opportunity should not be missed.

"Have you looked for everything you can buy?" Liu Shan looked at Liu Cheng and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Liu Cheng responded: "We have already asked everyone who has business dealings with us. They are all individual customers. Most of the silk fabrics have been bought by us before."

"As for the other vendors, when I asked them, they all said they had no goods."

"Shopkeeper He's progress is very fast. A batch of finished products have been dyed this morning. The color brightness of the purple silk is really amazing... If we can't supply the raw materials, it will be embarrassing!" Liu Cheng said again

.

"After all, we have just started to build a cloth shop. We don't have our own silk spinning workshop, so we can only buy it from outside!" Liu Shan sighed.

"But there are no vendors on the market who can buy it, and our demand is huge." Liu Cheng also said with a look of embarrassment.

"There is another one where you can definitely buy it." Liu Shan said solemnly.

"Which one?" Liu Cheng glanced at his father in confusion.

Liu Shan said: "Fuyang Buzhuang!"

"Fuyang Cloth Shop?" Liu Cheng was surprised upon hearing this, "Fuyang Cloth Shop is Wang Dingchang's core industry. It has developed for many years and has a large number of textile workshops. Naturally, they can have the original silk we buy, but they are our mortal enemies. How can they

Will you sell it to us?”

"But we can find someone else to buy it!" Liu Cheng's eyes lit up, "As long as the person who comes forward is not from our Liu family."

"I'm afraid this won't work." Liu Shan waved his hand and said: "We need such a large amount, even if we find someone else, it will make people suspicious. How can we escape the Earl's Mansion in Yangzhou City?"

"Then what should we do?" Liu Cheng sighed. Now that He An has not been exposed, they must seize the time to dye more purple silk. Time is money.

If they wait for Fuyang Buzhuang to notice, they will miss the opportunity. After all, they cannot guarantee whether Wang Kang will tell the second person the formula.

"There is another way to buy it." Liu Shan said solemnly, "Since being timid will arouse suspicion, let's just be honest!"

"Wang Kang, the prodigal son, bought a brothel before and boasted of spending a huge amount of money to renovate it, but as far as I know, he doesn't have enough money now."

"I know this. I went there at that time, and the prodigal son even painted the walls with gold powder. Of course, it cost a lot of money."

Liu Cheng said hurriedly.

"Wang Dingchang is from Xinfeng County. I don't believe that other people in the government will squander so much money for him. Now that prodigal son must be short of money, so we will go to him to buy it." Liu Shan said solemnly.

"But we had many conflicts with Wang Kang before. Will he sell it to me?" Liu Cheng said doubtfully.

"At worst, spend more money. Now we are in urgent need of a large amount of silk. There is no other way. Besides, how can he, a prodigal son, think so much?"

Liu Shan ordered: "Go and find out where Wang Kang is. That prodigal son acts in a high-profile manner and will be found easily. I will go and talk to him personally."

"Yes." Liu Cheng nodded in response.

…………

Touch! Touch!

There was a knock on the door, and then Zhou Qing's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, Liushan is looking for you on the first floor."

After hearing this, Wang Kang's eyes lit up. Liu Shan reacted very quickly. He came to the door so quickly. It seemed that his strategy had worked. The old guy was worried.

"You guys keep practicing hard, and I'll come back to you when the Oiran election starts." Wang Kang told Li Qingman and others, and then went downstairs.

As soon as he arrived at the stairs, he saw Liu Shan sitting alone downstairs.

Seeing Wang Kang, Liu Shan stood up and said: "Master Kang is really generous. He bought an inn and a golden house to hide his beauty."

"Master Liu," Wang Kang greeted him, "because the expenses have been too high recently, and the housekeeper Wu in the house refused to give me money because my father is not here, now the renovation of my brothel has to be stopped.

Already."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Liu Shan's eyes lit up. His prediction was indeed correct. It seemed that he had found the right path.

"That's a coincidence. Liu came here today to give money to Mr. Kang!" Liu Shan said with a smile.

"Are you inviting me to your gambling house? It just so happens that my hands are itchy again these days." Wang Kangxian glanced at Liu Shan and said calmly.

"You..." Liu Shan's expression changed. Wang Kang won more than 20,000 gold coins from the Liu family gambling house that day, so he had no choice but to seek a loan from the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce.

Now that Wang Kang is not bringing up old things, this is a slap in his face. Liu Shan took a deep breath and decided to buy Su Zhi first.

Using your home's plain fabrics and your formula to dye purple silk to suppress your Earl's Palace, is there any better way to retaliate than this?

Liu Shan's mind wandered and he said: "Young Master Kang is joking, I can't accommodate a Bodhisattva like you in the small temple of the Liu Family Gambling House, so I'll just tell you directly, I want to buy a batch of vegetarian food from Young Master Kang."

Weaving.”

"If you don't go to my cloth shop to buy plain silk, why are you looking for me? I don't care about it." Wang Kang looked at Liu Shan strangely.

He didn't dare to agree directly. If he agreed too quickly, he might make Liu Shan, an old fox, suspicious, and he would have no choice but to act with him.

"Haha, Mr. Kang is the only son of Uncle Fuyang. After all, the cloth village property is not yours. As long as you let go, who dares not to obey."

Liu Shan smiled and said, "I didn't know that Mr. Kang was short of money and came to see you specially."

"I wonder how much you want to buy?"

Wang Kang asked pretending to be moved.

"Eight hundred pieces of silk, and all of them are made of jacquard fabrics!" Liu Shan said solemnly.

This old guy really has a big appetite, and Wang Kang was also shocked.

In ancient times, it took at least two workers to make a piece of plain woven silk, working for five days. If it is a jacquard fabric, a loom requires four workers to operate at the same time, such as Shu brocade, which does not include preparation processes such as warp drawing and weft rolling.

.

For such complex labor costs, plus the cost of silk, the market price of a piece of original pure white silk is worth three gold coins, and if it is jacquard fabric, it will be twice as much.

Silk has always been a luxury product in ancient times. The only people who can really afford it are government officials, merchants and wealthy businessmen. You must know that the raw material, silk, is known as soft gold.

It seems that Liushan is ready to spend all his money on a big fight, but this is the best. He bought my silk and used my fake formula to dye the waste cloth!

This time I will make you pay everything!
Chapter completed!
