Chapter Seventy-Six: The Nephew's Black Heart Makes Sense!

The three of them entered the main hall, Wei Zheng and Mrs. Wei sat down on the main seat, House Dragon sat on the guest seat, the housekeeper brought tea, House Dragon took two sips gently, and then put down the teacup:

"Uncle Wei, my father asked me to say hello to Uncle Wei and my aunt!"

"Hehe, your uncle and nephew will talk first, and I'll prepare a meal for you!"

Mrs. Wei is also an intellectual, knowing that House Long mentioned Daddy Fang Xuanling twice, he must have something serious to discuss with Wei Zheng, so he found an excuse to go out, of course, House Long felt that Mrs. Wei might have gone to see the perfume.

"Uncle Wei, Zilong took the liberty to come today, but in fact, he had something to ask Uncle Wei, and Uncle Wei also knew that Zilong was recommended by Cheng Shuai, and he was approved by his father to serve as the pioneer officer of this grain and grass.

But Zilong has no relevant experience, so he came here to ask Uncle Wei how to do a good job as a pioneer officer of grain and grass, and also ask Uncle Wei to give advice! ”

House Long said directly to the point, this is also the skill that Cheng Biting Jin handed over to House Long to talk to Wei Zheng, just talk about things directly, don't go around and around, but provoke Wei Zheng with a disgust.

"I see!" Sure enough, Wei Zheng's face also showed a positive color after hearing what the house dragon said.

"Don Ma, this grain and grass pioneer officer, since His Majesty has appointed you to be responsible, then no matter what, I will definitely support you, plus my relationship with your father, you don't have to worry too much about this, but today we won't talk about this grain and grass pioneer officer for the time being!"

Wei Zheng pondered two sentences, and finally brought the topic to perfume:

"How did I hear that you have recently sold some perfume in Chang'an City, and its price is as high as one hundred taels of silver a bottle, but is there such a thing?"

"Yes, Uncle Wei, Zilong has indeed been selling perfume recently, and the price is indeed one hundred taels of silver a bottle, and this is the kind of perfume that my nephew gave to my aunt!"

It is naturally impossible for the house dragon to deny the perfume thing, everything has already reached this point, and it would be a bit of a slap in the face to deny it in front of Wei Zheng.

"House Dragon, do you know that you are ruining the style of your house, corrupting the majesty of the royal family, although I don't know what perfume, but I have also heard that the best rouge in my Datang is only eighteen taels of silver,

A bottle of perfume of yours costs a hundred taels or five times the price of rouge, but I don't know what kind of reputation your perfume is, and it is more expensive than gold! ”

Wei Zheng is a real axis, even if he is now in his forties, but he is still very powerful, it stands to reason that the house can sell his perfume and what does it have to do with you Wei Zheng? But Wei Zheng had to stick a stick.

"Uncle Wei is angry, and my nephew has to sell perfume, if it weren't for the fact that he was a pioneer officer of this grain and grass, why did he make such a decision?"

Since he dared to carry the perfume to Wei Zheng's mansion, the house dragon naturally made relevant preparations, including how to round the perfume matter, and the house dragon had already thought about how to answer?

"Hmph, nonsense, don't say that you are the son of Fang Xiang, Your Majesty's concubine, but such nonsense, how can the prime minister easily believe you, how can this perfume sale have anything to do with the grain and grass pioneer!"

Wei Zheng said sharply, and he almost slapped the table with the house.

Outside the door, hearing Wei Zheng's angry voice in the room, the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion and Mrs. Wei couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Zheng was able to do the role of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, it really depends on the accumulation of virtue by his ancestors, and he doesn't know how many generations of virtue he has accumulated, and finally met His Majesty Li Er, a famous monarch through the ages, if it is put on other emperors, Wei Zheng's character will not know how many times he has died!

"Uncle Wei, listen to me first!" House Long covered his ears, not to mention anything else, Wei Zheng's voice is definitely enough, a standard tenor!

"Uncle Wei, my perfume is indeed a bottle of one hundred taels of silver, but does Uncle Wei know how much it costs to make?"

Without waiting for Wei Zheng to answer, House Long asked himself and said:

"My nephew made this perfume, it used up all kinds of rare materials, although it is only a small bottle, but it is all essence, it is not an exaggeration to say that the price is higher than gold, because its cost is as high as fifty taels of silver!"

The lie of the house dragon came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't make a draft at all, of course, the draft had been prepared well in advance before coming to the Wei Mansion.

And the house dragon also recited it back and forth a few times, in order to avoid revealing the stuffing in front of Wei Zheng!

As for why he didn't tell Wei Zheng the real cost of this perfume, the reason was very simple, the cost of fifty taels, the selling price of one hundred taels, the house dragon estimated that Wei Zheng was a little unbearable, if it was the cost of five taels and the price of one hundred taels, the house dragon estimated that Wei Zheng would definitely be able to stab this matter to His Majesty Li Er.

"But even if it's fifty taels of silver, your price is one hundred taels of silver, and its profit is as high as fifty taels, which is too black-hearted!"

However, even if the house dragon said the cost of fifty taels, Wei Zheng's face was still dark, after all, it sounded like it was only double the profit, but this profit base was too big, a small bottle of perfume, a profit of fifty taels, if this is not a black-hearted businessman, then what is it?

"Uncle Wei, it is precisely because of this that my nephew set a high price of one hundred taels, and my nephew wants to ask Uncle Wei a question, how many of the ordinary people will buy this one hundred taels of perfume?"

"Although the people of my Datang Dynasty live a rich life, you have to be a normal laborer, three or even four or five years of wages, where will ordinary people buy perfume!"

Wei Zheng, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, has a good understanding of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally knows that it is impossible for ordinary people to buy a bottle of perfume with all their money.

"Then may I ask Uncle Wei, who can buy these perfumes?"

House Dragon with a smile on his face:

"According to my nephew's statistics, all those who buy perfume from my nephew are all princes and nobles in Chang'an City, and all of them are huge rich families in Chang'an City, so they will be willing to buy a small bottle of perfume with such a capital!"

"But you're too black-hearted!" Wei Zheng still has a black face!

"Yes, Uncle Wei is right, and my nephew also admits that the profit is indeed too high, but my nephew has set such a high price, and it is naturally those rich owners who can afford it, and it will have a little impact on the lives of ordinary people in my Datang?

And the reason why the nephew set such a high price for the perfume was also to prepare for the next Turkic war, didn't Uncle Wei think that all the money from the nephew's perfume sales would go into the nephew's personal pocket? ”

When the house dragon said this, he also showed a touch of arrogance just right.
