Chapter 347 Calling

After laughing, Jiang's father discussed business with Jiang Shu.

"Although the silk shop has some ready-made winter clothes, there are not many of them and they are not enough. And the brocade fabrics are worn by the rich and powerful, and the fabrics are not durable and not suitable for the generals." "Although

Jiang Ji has cotton and linen fabrics, the quantity is not enough, and we have to buy them from other cloth shops. But even if there are enough cloth and cotton, it is difficult to make winter clothes in a short time..."

The father and daughter discussed for a while and found many problems.

Previously, they only considered that Jiang Ji had cloth and cotton, but did not consider that Jiang Ji's goods were mostly brocade, and it would take a lot of manpower to make winter clothes in a hurry.

Now that they have studied it in detail, they know that it is a difficult task.

"This is too big a task, and Jiang Ji alone cannot complete it." Jiang Shu frowned heavily.

Father Jiang nodded: "So we have to seek external help."

The father and daughter looked at each other, and Jiang Shu stood up and said: "There is no time to waste, I will send a letter now, inviting President Wan to meet me at Cuiyun Tower."

The servant brought the pen and ink, Jiang Shu wrote the invitation, and sent someone to deliver it to Wan's house.

Jiang Shu was wearing a skirt when she returned

to her mother's house today. It was more convenient to wear men's clothes when going out to do business. And Yu Ziyou must be hungry after being out for a long time. "Ziyou, let's go home." Jiang Shu took Yu Ziyou from Mother Jiang's arms and went back to the palace to change clothes.

Although Mother Jiang Ning was reluctant, she also knew that business was more important.

After Jiang Shu left, Father Jiang glanced at the sky outside the house and said: "I have to change my clothes too."

If you are doing business, you have to dress more formally.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Jing's mansion. Jiang Shu got off the carriage holding Yu Ziyou. Before entering the mansion, she told the driver: "Wait here, I'll be out soon."

"Yes." The driver replied respectfully.

Jiang Shu hurried back to the main courtyard, handed Yu Ziyou to the wet nurse, and went back to the inner room to change clothes.

"It's almost noon, Princess, are you going out?" Chu Yu asked while helping Jiang Shu tie the belt.

Jiang Shu nodded, sat in front of the dressing table and said: "Hurry up and help me loosen my bun and tie it up again."

Chu Yu saw that she looked anxious as if she had something urgent to do, so she hurriedly did it.

In the gap between combing and tying her hair, Jiang Shu asked: "Where is the prince?"

Chu Yu said: "The prince has left the mansion and left a message saying that we don't have to wait for him for lunch."

It seems that he is going to work on official business again.

Jiang Shu didn't care and said, "I won't have lunch at home either."

"Ah?" Chu Yu said, "But the kitchen should be almost ready by now."

Because Jiang Shu didn't bring her wet nurse when she left the house, Chu Yu knew she wouldn't be out for too long, so she prepared the meal as usual.

Jiang Shu said casually, "Let Tan Yu inform the kitchen to not make anything that hasn't been made yet. As for what's already made, just eat it."

Chu Yu heard this and hurriedly called Tan Yu to go to the kitchen.

After packing up, Jiang Shu hurried out of the house.

When he arrived at Cuiyun Tower, it was dinner time and it was crowded.

Fortunately, there was a special private room reserved for his own use and entertaining guests.

After Jiang Shu greeted the shopkeeper, he went upstairs to the private room and sat down. Not long after he ordered the dishes, Jiang's father arrived.

The father and daughter were talking, and after a cup of tea, Wan Jian came.

"President Wan." Jiang Shu's father stood up to greet him.

Wan Jian bowed in fear: "Princess, please don't embarrass me."

He was a businessman, how could the princess stand up to greet him.

Jiang Shu smiled and said: "President Wan, don't be so polite. I am just a businessman now. Please sit down."

Wan Jian sat down as he was told, and asked cautiously: "I wonder what the princess wants to see me for?"

Having lived to this age, Wan Jian was very smart. Seeing Jiang Shu's posture, he knew that there must be something important to discuss.

Or to ask for something.

When talking to a wise person, you have to be frank, so Jiang Shu said bluntly: "I am presumptuous to ask President Wan to come here, because I do have something important to ask for."

"No, no, Princess, just say it, as long as I can help." Wan Jian was curious about what Jiang Shu needed his help with.

Jiang Shu looked at Wan Jian and said solemnly, "The border guards are in urgent need of a large number of winter clothes, but Jiang Ji is powerless, so I would like to ask President Wan to call on all the cloth shops in the city to work together to make winter clothes."

Wan Jian was shocked and blurted out, "Did the court give this matter to Jiang Ji?"

Jiang Shu shook his head, "This year, Da Zhao is in great trouble. The court is unable to take care of both. Jiang Ji happens to have cloth and cotton, so we want to do what we can."

Wan Jian asked hesitantly, "Does the court have money?"

Calling on all the cloth shops in the city is not an easy task. It would be easy if there is money, but if there is no money, who would be willing?

Jiang's father, who had been silent, frowned and said, "Of course the court will pay for the purchase, but the expenses for food and winter clothes are too high to bear, so Jiang's plan is to sell them to the court at cost price."

"As for other silk shops, there is not much demand, so just don't raise the price."

Wan Jian took a deep breath and looked at the father and daughter for a long time without saying a word.

Last time, Jiang's family was able to make money from the fruit wine incident, but this matter...

Looking at the father and daughter with serious expressions, Wan Jian asked in confusion: "The court has not appointed, why is Princess Jiang so concerned?"

If it was for making money, it would be fine, but according to what they just said, this is clearly a losing matter.

Losing money is a taboo for businessmen.

Jiang Shu pursed his lips and said, "The country is safe, and the family is safe."

Although Jiang Ning was young, his words made a lot of sense.

Such a sense of justice shocked Wan Jian and he agreed to come forward.

However, not everyone has a sense of justice, so Wan Jian stated, "Although I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I cannot force them to obey. I can only gather people together."

"I understand." Jiang Shu nodded.

Time was running out, so Wan Jian immediately asked his followers to go back and send people to tell all the cloth shops in Shangjing to meet at the Chamber of Commerce at 3 p.m.

After lunch, Jiang Shu and his father went to the Chamber of Commerce with Wan Jian.

At 3 p.m., everyone was there.

The bosses who heard the news looked at Wan Jian in confusion and spoke in confusion.

"What does President Wan want us to do?"

Wan Jian glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I asked you all to come here today because I have something important to discuss."

"Oh? What is it?" Everyone was curious.

Wan Jian looked at Jiang Shu on the side and said: "The court is in urgent need of a batch of winter clothes..."

After hearing this, everyone was excited and uneasy.

"If the court has not appointed us, what should we do if we can't get the money after making the winter clothes?"

They are businessmen, and it is natural to pay money to make clothes, but what if the winter clothes are made but no one pays?

Jiang's father said: "Jiang's cotton is enough, but it is still short of cloth, and then there is manpower. As for the money, Jiang's can guarantee it."

Hearing this, everyone was unhappy.

"Boss Jiang means that we are helping for nothing?" They

thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that they only needed a small amount of cloth. What's the point? And it would occupy their embroiderers, so they couldn't do other business.

All in all, this is a deal where we work hard but don't make any money.

Previously, they were worried that they wouldn't get any money, but now they were shocked that there was no money at all.

"Yeah, they are making fun of us, Jiang's money and reputation are all earned, and we get nothing."

After someone took the lead, everyone spoke up.

Wan Jian had expected them to react like this, and looked at Jiang Shu with difficulty.
