Chapter 337

"Zi Zhong, is the sale of these cotton-padded clothes really that profitable?"

Gu Yong looked at Especially Mi Zhu with a dazed expression; he truly had not expected that such a profit could be made!

Two hundred thousand gold!

Even most prominent noble clans did not possess this much wealth!

"This is only because the lord wanted to sell them quickly; otherwise, the profit gained could have been even higher!"

Especially Mi Zhu sighed deeply. In truth, this business deal could have yielded even more profit!

But Lin Yang had chosen to sell them quickly!

"Zi Zhong, one cannot be too greedy. Once Cao Mengde and the others react, this business will no longer be viable!"

Sitting above, Lin Yang was very clear about the issues with this cotton-padded clothing trade!

"My lord, we are selling to noble clans and wealthy merchants from all over. Surely Cao Mengde wouldn't dare to take action against them?" Especially Mi Zhu was a bit incredulous. Could Cao Mengde really offend the noble clans for the sake of this?

"Heh, Cao Mengde and his ilk may not dare to offend the noble clans, but they have soldiers!"

It was Cheng Yu, standing to the side, who immediately pointed out the crux of the matter!

Cao Mengde might not move against the noble clans!

But the troops under his command were not to be trifled with!

If he couldn't move against the noble clans!

Could he not move against Especially Mi Zhu's merchant caravan?

"This—doesn't this mean my merchant caravan could potentially be robbed by Cao Mengde?"

This is just banditry!

Especially Mi Zhu began to curse inwardly!

"Wait, whenever it gets robbed, this business will come to an end!"

Fortunately, Lin Yang always transported goods in small quantities. At worst, if a little was robbed, he would just stop!

Before losing a bit of cotton-padded clothing!

He would first rake in a fortune!

Just as Lin Yang and the others were discussing this, Cao Mengde on the other side had already arranged for his men to lie in wait at the border of Yanzhou!

Lin Yang wanted to harvest the wealth of Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Yuzhou through cotton-padded clothes!

And he, Cao Mengde, was not to be trifled with either!

If he couldn't afford to buy them, couldn't he just rob them?
