Letting the messenger who informed Liu Yu's death arrive for five days was a very correct decision by Li Su. Because this made him avoid the days when Liu Bei was most sad and hard to face. When Li Su came back, he would not have to work on the red tape.

Of course, this definitely does not mean that Li Su himself is heartless. After all, he has known the bad news for more than 20 days, and the initial shock and sadness have long passed. He must have remembered Liu Yu's kindness to him for promotion, and he does not use the other party as an NPC.

However, on the way here, he was on a boat for more than 20 days, and he was vegetarian every day. He saw the people around him and the bodyguards including Dian Wei. Li Su had a clear conscience, and no one would accuse him of being ungrateful.

In addition, Li Su also knew that when he returned to Chengdu, Liu Ye must have been at least Luoyang and began to spread false information about the diplomatic attitude of Liu Bei's camp according to the plan he explained. Unfortunately, how the princes of all parties reacted, Li Su would not hear the feedback after at least two months. So he was not in a hurry to worry about this matter, so he should bury a chess piece first, and not in a hurry to inquire after the internal affairs of Shu were harvested.

When he arrived in Chengdu, Liu Bei just went to the city gate to pick him up, chatted with him for a few words, and took care of him, but he didn't have long been sad. Li Su also expressed "turning grief and anger into strength and devoted himself to his work."

What moved Li Suting was that when he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, although Cai Yan had not seen him for three months, he was wearing white silk clothes and behaved appropriately. Even if he returned to the inner house, he did not immediately be intimate. He even sent all the maids who were usually used to dance and music to prevent Li Su from becoming accused of being close to women.

Finally, Li Su whispered to his wife when he was sleeping and resting: "I started vegetarianism from getting on the boat at Baqiu. It has been more than 20 days and a month is almost there. We are not considered as violating the king's order."

Cai Yan said solemnly: "How can I enjoy the love of a pillow and mat for a while? I don't have to worry about my husband's name."

Li Su: "Since you are so sensible, I will show you some travel notes and poems written by me in Jingzhou these days, so as to relieve your depression of not traveling to Jingzhou. I just think that you have seen it with your own eyes."

Who made this era without taking photos? Ink paintings in the late Han Dynasty were not suitable for realistic paintings? Even if they could paint, Li Su's skills were too poor and they did not look like them at all. Therefore, they could only adapt to the times and use literary and artistic scenery, which was appreciated by scholars.

Cai Yan read the two prose written by Li Su in the night, "Baqiu Tower Notes" and "Snake Catcher's Talk" and read a few short poems about Dongting Lake such as "The level of June Lake, the level of emptiness and the clearness of the emptiness. The air steams in Yunmeng Ze, and the waves shake the Baqiu City".

Cai Yan, who is quite elegant, was soon satisfied, and was more physically and mentally comfortable and intoxicated than getting the comfort of the harmony between husband and wife.

Li Su didn't deliberately want to recite a few poems to let his woman **, and he was forced to do it. Moreover, this could not be copied. If a woman uses this trick, she would not be able to G-point.

...

After resting for a night, Li Su quickly entered the state of doing serious business.

The next morning, I got up and played a few sets of Wuqin Playing to exercise my muscles. At the breakfast table, Li Su asked Cai Yan if there were any movements in the potential "Shujin hoarding allies" in the past few months.

Out of respect for Liu Yu, breakfast is just porridge and kimchi. Without meat dishes, sprinkle more sesame seeds on the kimchi and walnut chopped rice to supplement nutrition, ensure high-quality protein, and nourish the brain by the way.

So much so that as he ate, Li Su couldn't help but wonder: Anyway, there were sesame seeds and walnuts, so should the porridge be slightly tinkered into sesame paste... to express his grief towards Liu Yu, and does not violate the ban on "vegetarianism".

Anyway, he has also read the ingredients list of the big-name sesame paste in later generations. Even if the sesame seeds exceed 10% meet the national standards, the remaining 90% are rice, black rice, black beans, and sugar. Li Su just needs to let the chef grind the rice into rice flour, stir-fry it dry, grind the sesame seeds, and add honey or brown sugar. It should be fine.

Cai Yan was eating walnut-mixed porridge, and recalled it slowly, "In the past few months, the first person who came to me to visit me was Miss Zhuge - the brocade workshop business of Zhuge's family, wasn't it just Aliang's second sister who was running? Her husband had just been away for more than a month, and she often came around and asked a few words, "Why don't you let Shujin release goods? If you don't release goods, she has no money to get silk."

I have to ask our silk reel shop for credit, or use the broth we had previously lent us to pay for the subsequent life and death purchase. I also agreed. Several other noble families were unable to turn over the raw materials later. After hearing the Zhuge family's throwing stones and asking for directions, they also asked to use the broth we had previously credited for credit to pay for the silk reel for the silk reel. So I was at least relieved, but we only collected and did not sell it. Last month, we almost didn't even have enough money to ask silkworm farmers to buy summer silkworms."

After hearing this, Li Su realized that he did not explain carefully enough before leaving, but this was not a big deal. Anyone with a little bit of daily business methods can solve it.

The most important thing in industrialized large-scale production is capital chain turnover. Any enterprise hoards and increases inventory, and does not sell or recover funds after production, and will definitely encounter the problem of turning over raw materials without money.

Shu Jin Workshop was asked not to sell brocade for the time being, so he would definitely not have the money to buy silk. If the silk reel workshop was used to weave brocade on white credit, he would not have the money to buy silkworms.

Silkworm farmers are very scattered and small-scale businesses, so it is impossible to negotiate with silkworm farmers on credit for a few months. This will easily leak the major things to do. Therefore, in the end, the turnover pressure of all the brocade workshops was transferred to Li Su's house.

Who made his family's water trucks reach thousands of times and was the number one silk tycoon in Shu County? Fortunately, Li Su had only been away for three months, and his capital chain was not broken in the end.

Li Su asked with a little fear: "Is this matter resolved later? How to deal with it?"

Cai Yan: "I don't understand business yet. In April and early May, our previous inventory can still be supported. In late May, I really couldn't hold on anymore. So I talked to Concubine Zhen and asked her to tell the king about our lack of money turnover.

The king should have known his husband's plan, so he didn't ask much. He seemed to have concealed it and asked Xunfujun, 'If there is a five-coin silk yard in the government, how should the government support it?'. Xunfujun suggested that the king borrow the official grain from Changping warehouse and put the grain to buy silk for silk farmers. Even if the official grain released is owed to the government, it will be turned on and will not be leaked."

Li Su nodded, thinking that Xun You was quite flexible and helped him hide a small detail that he didn't explain when he left.

If Li Su was there, he would certainly easily solve such an easy problem, but after all, the things that the human brain can remember are limited. Li Su's high IQ does not mean that he is very careful and can think of everything several months in advance.

For silkworm farmers, it is not necessary to see money when selling silkworm cocoons. People who operate small businesses may not have enough food to eat, and they have to buy rice after taking the money, so it is acceptable to give rice directly to the people.

Li Su confirmed: "Then it was solved later?"

Cai Yan: "It's not all. At the end of May, all the people who had to deal with were smaller retail silkworm farmers, so they just got out of this. However, in mid-June, some local tyrants with large-scale silkworm breeding reacted.

For example, Yang Hong's family, the magistrate of Du'an County, had a thousand hectares of mulberry forests in Qingcheng Mountain. At first, they collected a batch of rice for silkworms. But the large households had stored grain, so they didn't need too much rice. Later, Yang Hong came to ask for a look and wanted to ask if my family had been storing brocade and had not taken out to buy cocoons. I didn't tell him, but he might have guessed that he believed in the character and credit of General Right. He could not ask us about the money we collected cocoons and owed cocoons to the right general back."

Li Su smuggled in a cold sweat: It seems that there are still smart people, and she has already seen what she might be doing.

Of course, it is mainly Yang Hong who was borrowed by Li Su before, so he is easily inspired and associated. If he is a traitor who has no clues, he will definitely not be able to associate it.

Fortunately, I had decided to win over Yang Hong to work together at the beginning. Sooner or later, it wouldn't matter if I was from my camp. The other party came to ask for a meeting without pointing it out, and it was also a clever person.

With the addition of big silkworm farmers like Yang Hong to the industrial chain and providing credit debt periods, Li Su's turnover will naturally be more stable.

Such a big business is indeed not something that can be done in a few words.

In order to take the dealer to take over the market in the past three months, at least Liu Bei, Xun You, Yang Hong and Cai Yan have worked hard to plan.

The importance of hoarding and absorbing funds is no less than the second stage of harvest.

Thinking about this, Li Su gently comforted his wife: "Thank you for your hard work. In the past three months when I was away, you have also worried about so many mundane things. Leave the rest to me - by the way, how is the food price recently?"

The reason why Li Su had the last question was that since Liu Bei received Li Su's urgent message, Cai Yan also learned that his husband was coming back, so two days after the letter arrived, he began to sell Shu Jin gradually in large volume, and the speed of increasing volume was very slow.

This was also what Li Su agreed with her before leaving, in order to prevent those rich and perverted leeks from noticed that "the increase in Shu Jin's volume has a significant relationship with Li Su's return."

Of course, the specific operation is definitely not done by Cai Yan, but by entrusting Zhang Liang from the Zhen family and the second lady from the Zhuge family to do it. Cai Yan does not know the specific business.

Under normal circumstances, as long as Shu Jin starts to increase shipments, the price of brocade will definitely fall, and the copper coins on the market will also decrease. The prices of other common materials will rise slightly due to the shortage of money. Especially before the autumn harvest comes every year, the price of grain will rise due to the lack of green and yellow.

Cai Yan answered this question very simply: "Food prices should have been the highest in April and May every year, but they fell since May this year. They have not risen since then. Now they are about to harvest autumn, so they should not rise, they will only fall even further."

Li Su was delighted: That is, some people are selling grain in advance, creating a market shortage in advance, and liquidity has decreased.

You should know who these people are soon.

After breakfast, Li Sushiran went to the prefect's mansion and found Zhuge Jin, whom he still didn't know about, to help him with a trivial matter.

"Tiyu, please check me. In May, the grain prices in Shu County fell and ran ahead. Also, the grain prices in Jianwei and Guanghan should also be checked."
