A fine linen.

The rest of the workshop cost is the transportation cost, circulation cost, store cost, tax and store profit.

Cui Yiye asked Liu Mu again: "Why haven't you considered selling wool products to the Mediterranean?" ”

"Wait, I'm going to make wool locally, and then put it in Africa and then sell it back to the Mediterranean. At present, there are still some places in the canal where large ships cannot go, and the cost of transportation by small boats is too high. Wait, wait, wait. ”

Cui Yiye asked again: "My staff told me that the appearance of white flannel cloth will impact the original linen market, and the impact is very amazing. In the industrial structure of Huating, the original wooden hemp loom will not be replaced with a steel hemp loom, and some production capacity is considered to be replaced with white velvet cloth, aiming at the white velvet fields in Hebei. ”

"Good staff, you can feel it yourself, fine white flannel cloth is more comfortable than hemp to wear close to the body, and the most comfortable is high-grade velvet. This is the demand, the needs of the people, the needs of the aristocracy, and the needs determine the industry. ”

Liu Mu's words Cui Yiye agreed, and couldn't help nodding.

Cui Yiye added: "The most comfortable is a kind of trial product, white cashmere, gold cashmere, silk cotton mixed together in a proportion of intimate clothing, and it is also divided into different clothing for four seasons." ”

"In a proportion?" Yanagi was curious about the word.

Cui Yiye nodded: "It was made by a small merchant, the formula applied for the protection of the government, and the trial product was ranked first in a display of Wutongfang in Chang'an." ”

"That's good." Liu Mu is another comment that is neither salty nor light.

When Cui Yiye was about to say something again, Liu Mu suddenly grabbed Cui Yiye: "I said that you have enough of this little Fu Yin, there is a more interesting thing, I feel that you should be interested." And only people like you can make this interesting thing more interesting. ”

Cui Yiye was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "There is a conspiracy." ”

"Sort of!"

Liu Mu generously admitted, but it made Cui Yiye a little uncomfortable.

Cui Yiye took Liu Mu to a quiet room in the textile workshop before asking, "Tell me what is interesting." ”

"First of all, how much do you know about the Mediterranean?"

"Not a few!"

Cui Yiye is in Huating, which is one of the four major ports of the Tang Dynasty to the outside world, especially one of the two major ports of Mediterranean trade, Cui Yiye has collected a lot of detailed knowledge about the Mediterranean.

From geography, humanities, customs, specialties, society, etc., even Cui Yiye organized people to sort these out and prepare to compile them into books.

Cui Yiye didn't wait for Liu Mu to ask, and he talked a lot about the Mediterranean.

Liu Mu listened quietly for a long time and then interrupted Cui Yiye: "So, do you think it is possible for Romeo to become a new king?" ”

"Benefits?" Cui Yiye asked directly about the benefits.

Yanagi smiled at this question.

Cui Yiye asked again: "What is the benefit of this matter to our Datang, and what is the benefit to my Qinghe Cui family?" ”

"If you talk about it well, you should talk about the benefits."

Yanagi took out a piece of paper from his bosom and quickly drew a simple map of the Mediterranean, then drew three circles.

"You see, this is Northern Europe. It began to spread around the northern island of Britle. Then this is called the Black Sea, spread to the hometown of Helameli, and then here, the western outlet of the Mediterranean, the Visigothic kingdom, then Romeo's mission is to convert the Visigothic kingdom to our Taoism and Buddhism. ”

Cui Yiye stared at the map for a while before nodding slightly: "It does sound interesting." ”

"The Visigothic kingdom represents the western outlet of the Mediterranean, from where to the south is the west coast of Africa, and to the north to the southern part of the island of Britain. The people there have a strong desire for conquest and a very crazy behavior, and the infidels will die. ”

"I've heard of this, a barbarian is a barbarian."

Cui Yiye's use of the word barbarian to comment on the various ethnic groups in the Mediterranean is not too much at all.

In the eyes of the Qinghe Cui family, the Li Tang royal family has just learned a little etiquette, and they know what etiquette is.

The Roman emperor and the Roman Senate are still barbarians in the eyes of Qinghe Cui, they are not even dressed neatly, there are no rules up and down, they shout and reach out to grab when they eat, and so on.

"If there are three new kingdoms, they will be richer than the old kingdoms, and they will believe in Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. How do you think it will be? ”

Cui Yiye thought for a while and replied, "It is estimated that they will be treated as prey." ”

And then what?

Cui Yiye and Liu Mu both laughed.

A hunter found a rabbit, and when he was about to hunt it, he suddenly found that what he saw was not a rabbit, but a tiger's white front paws, so it is difficult to say who is the prey.

Cui Yiye really became interested, and asked Liu Mu in a low voice: "So, what are the benefits of our Cui family?" ”

"Are you sure that your Cui family can handle this matter, if you can, I will help you ask for a hundred miles of fiefdom in front of the saint, which is a real fief. How is it? ”

Cui Yiye grabbed Liu Mu's wrist and asked coldly, "If we train this barbarian named Romeo into an obedient chess piece, what do you say?" ”

"If you don't obey, you will kill, and support an obedient person to get up."

"Good. I'll do something first, such as letting this earl, who has never seen the world, see the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, and at the same time I will write to my family, I am not qualified to call the shots in this matter. As you said, maybe only my Cui clan is afraid that it won't be able to support this big thing. ”

Cui Yiye's heart was moved, and after his heart was moved, he acted immediately.

An hour later, when he saw Romeo again, Cui Yiye's attitude towards Romeo changed slightly.

At least Cui Yiye took the initiative to speak politely to Romeo.

Cui Yiye said: "150,000 horses of various colors of fine linen, I don't know how many you think at this moment?" ”

Romeo shook his head: "I'm like a little fish in a bay, I can't think of anything in the sea." ”

"Talented, that's a good point." Cui Yiye praised and then said to the entourage beside him: "Tell me to go down and go to Hangzhou tomorrow." Tonight, just feel free to prepare some dinner. ”

Romeo and the Mediterranean merchants who came with him were at a table of ten, with twelve dishes and one soup each.

Cui Yiye didn't accompany him, he thought that Romeo's identity was not yet.

Willow wood will not accompany you.

However, Cui Yiye invited the people from Wenyue Pavilion in Huating Harbor to inquire about Romeo's conversation with the others.

At dinner, a merchant did say to Romeo: "The business of fine linen clothing is a big business that only big merchants can do in our eyes, and today we know that 150,000 horses of fine linen clothing is here, which is just one of many businesses for a small merchant, and I don't know if this town is considered a big city in the Tang Empire." ”
