Chapter 108 [There is a plan for you to take the initiative to jump into the trap]... 2 more
100,000 yuan, this is not a small amount of money.
Even if you can raise a Xuanjia Iron Horse, the number of people must be at least 500 people.
So this number is very scary, but all the families present have solemn faces, and the scribe spoke first, and said in a deep voice: "If there is really a secret recipe worth hundreds of thousands, our Qinghe Cui clan will never bargain with you, we will pay as much as you offer." ”
The other five followed suit, and almost everyone agreed on the same idea, and said solemnly: "We are also willing to pay for each other, instead of piecing together a thousand pieces like buying red bricks." ”
This is the first promise to double the price of red bricks, whether it is true or not, and sell it to Gu Tianya first.
The family is not stupid, on the contrary, they are very shrewd, if there is really a secret recipe worth 100,000, they will definitely buy it without hesitation.
Because, this kind of sky-high secret recipe will be very profitable.
Six families, each with 100,000 yuan, if the transaction is successful, Gu Tianya will be able to get 600,000 yuan at once.
He quarreled with Li Shimin and won 3,000 war horses, and the four small furnaces in Gujia Village can make steel, and after the secret recipe is sold, he can raise an extremely elite Xuanjia Iron Horseman.
He knew that Zhao Ning had been looking forward to this.
……
But it was said that the families present were all human spirits, and they were all good at observing words and colors, and suddenly Zheng Guanyu was the first to speak, and asked tentatively: "Brother-in-law Gu, are you going to sell the secret recipe of the iron industry?" ”
He said without waiting for Gu Tianya to speak, and then said again: "The little brother came here today as a guest, and saw the stove standing behind the post station, I asked those post guards about the stove, they didn't hide it from me, but took out a horizontal knife to show me, the little brother was directly greedy outflow, dare to ask Brother-in-law Gu, is the secret recipe you want to sell is this?" ”
Although Zheng Guanyu was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, his sister is the princess Li Jiancheng, so he will be used as a representative to negotiate with Gu Tianya for everyone present.
It's a pity that Gu Tianya hasn't opened his mouth yet, and suddenly heard Li Shimin speak lightly, and said: "Tieye, mine!" ”
He only said four words, but he said it extremely resolutely, even with a hint of murderous aura, highlighting his determination to monopolize the iron industry.
But the present family is not afraid.
I saw Zheng Guanyu turn his head to look at Li Shimin, and he didn't say that he had shouted the second brother in advance, and then he smiled and said with affection: "Second brother, you are the general of Tiance, and you are in charge of the Tang Army, although your Tiance Mansion is strong, but it is only the strength of the military formation, if it is about the way of business, hehehehe......"
He didn't go on, but everyone understood the implication.
Who knew that Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said with deep meaning: "Don't forget, the Li family used to be a gate valve." ”
Zheng Guanyu was stunned.
Yes, the Li family used to be a gate valve.
And it's also a very powerful gate valve.
But seeing Li Shimin's back with his hand, he slowly opened his voice and said: "In this king's Tiance Mansion, there are also people from a family, although Tiance Mansion is responsible for the military, but it does not prevent us from doing business, especially the iron industry, this king is even more unlikely to let go, this thing is used by the people as a tool, and the army is used as a soldier, just like a sword with a double edge, it can hurt others and yourself, so it can't be in your hands, because this is the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty." ”
The families present are all smart people, how can they not hear what Li Shimin means?
Iron must be controlled by the state.
Otherwise, the family will control the iron industry, and they will inevitably disregard the state for the sake of profit, and as long as someone gives money, they dare to sell things to any foreign clan.
That's the enemy.
At this time, Gu Tianya finally spoke, without saying that he was smiling in advance, and said to everyone: "Come to Tianxue in the evening, drink a cup of tea together, you are here as guests today, Tianya should entertain you, let's not stand here, let's go and taste my tea together......"
He deliberately put the word 'tea' very seriously.
How shrewd everyone was, and their hearts moved in an instant, Zheng Guanyu blurted out first, almost subconsciously: "Could it be that it is the suppression of tea bricks?" ”
After speaking, he shook his head suddenly, overturned his guess, and said: "No, no, the method of suppressing tea bricks has long existed, so the secret recipe that Brother-in-law Gu wants to sell is definitely not tea." ”
Gu Tianya laughed and said, "Then you are wrong, what I sell is tea." ”
He stretched out his hand to invite him, and the leader led the way, and everyone looked at each other, and each followed curiously.
After a short period of effort, when I arrived at the post station, the post station had begun to take shape, and there was a courtyard on the left and right sides. The courtyard on the left is large and has stone troughs for stables, while the courtyard on the right is lined with rows of houses.
Everyone observed, and someone sighed with emotion, and said: "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and a military post station covers so much, and it is even set up to set up an inn to facilitate the exchange of merchants, it can be seen that Brother Gu has hills and valleys, and it is far from being comparable to ordinary poor backgrounds......"
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "But this is also the reason why we opposed it in the first place, and the establishment of the post station will rob the family of the right to the place. ”
Gu Tianya was noncommittal, just smiled, and said paradoxically: "There is no immutable statement about the affairs of the world, and the family may not want to take charge of the local power in the future." ”
Everyone laughed and did not continue to argue, today is to ease the stalemate, and the two sides will not look at each other angrily because of the idea.
Gu Tianya also stopped arguing, and led everyone directly into the inn.
At this time, everyone realized that there were already people in the inn, but they were two charming women, who were boiling water around a small stove.
Everyone knew the two women, and their faces showed a hint of strangeness.
Only Zheng Guanyu's head shrank, as if he was habitually frightened, but it turned out that these two women were Xiaoqing Xiaorou, and they used to beat him violently with Zhaoning.
caused this son of the Xingyang Zheng family to have a shadow in his heart.
The others, however, had no psychological shadows, and their attention was completely absorbed by something, which was some porcelain cups as white as snow, and a small red pot resting next to them.
Suddenly, Gu Tianya smiled, walked over and picked up the kettle on the small stove, and then opened the small kettle, brewing elegantly. (Note: In order to prevent some people from saying that I have the number of words, I will not write the details about making tea.) )
Suddenly, there was a hint of fragrance in the air, so soft and faint that if you didn't pay close attention, you might even think it was an illusion.
But because of the attention of the people, it is impossible not to perceive this fragrance.
It was only at this time that I heard Gu Tianya speak leisurely and said: "Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, since ancient times, tea is boiled tea, all kinds of condiments are added, and it is quite fragrant to drink, but I think that boiling tea has lost its charm......"
He paused as he spoke, and then said: "At the end of spring last year, Hebei was too hungry to bear, so I went into the mountains to look for something to eat, and found a wild tea tree, and picked some tea leaves home, because my ancestors had left a secret recipe, which was to make tea by frying." At that time, I wanted to take the tea out and sell it for money, but I didn't dare to sell it after thinking about it again and again. ”
And the implication of his words was understood by all.
If he had gone to sell it then, he would have been a dead man by now. Even if he had never been killed, he would probably be arrested and directly beaten into slaves, responsible for roasting tea.
This kind of ruthless thing is well known to the families present. It's because I know it well, so it's hard to open my mouth for a while.
Fortunately, Gu Tianya didn't continue to say more, but stretched out his hand to make an invitation and said with a smile: "Everyone, can you try it?" ”
The six members of the family had actually been looking forward to him opening their mouths for a long time, and when they heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the teacup, and before tasting the tea, they looked at the teacup first, Zheng Guanyu's eyes were shining, and he suddenly blurted out and asked: "How to sell this teacup together?" ”
Gu Tianya was slightly stunned, then laughed, shook his head and said: "I run porcelain by myself, it will be a unique industry in the future, even if the Tang royal family wants to participate in the shares, I will not agree to their request." ”
He paused as he spoke, and said with deep meaning: "This is what Zhao Ning meant, the property she wants to leave for the children to eat." ”
Everyone originally wanted to insist, but when they heard the words, they suddenly died down, Zheng Guanyu subconsciously glanced at Zhaoning, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Since Sister Xiuning wants to keep an inheritance, we naturally won't covet this teacup anymore." ”
After saying this, he seemed quite depressed, but after he took a sip of tea, his face suddenly burst into strong surprise.
He looked at Gu Tianya suddenly, his eyes were full of eagerness, and he just had to say the last sentence, we Xingyang Zheng want to buy it.
The rest of the people were all like this, and even Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had a look of intention on their faces.
Gu Tianya suddenly laughed, and directly said the answer that everyone wanted, and said: "The tea industry, you can promote it in a big way, in order to make money and make money, you must plant tea trees on a large scale, tea is not only the demand of the Han people, this will employ a lot of people, and it can bring them benefits, it is precisely because the people can make profits, so I am willing to sell the secret recipe......"
This is to talk to everyone about the meaning of adding money.
Since business is involved, it is necessary to bargain, and although the hearts of those present are urgent, they are trying to find a way to say it.
For example, Zheng Guanyu said: "The reason why you are willing to sell the secret recipe is mainly because of the lack of strength, if the tea industry wants to promote it, you must plant it widely, but you only have a few acres of land in your hands?" You can't afford to make tea ...... on your own."
Gu Tianya did not shy away from this, and nodded directly in acknowledgement.
The reason why he sold the secret recipe for tea was indeed to use the power of the family, and today only the family can grow tea fields and gradually make the tea industry bigger and bigger.
Zheng Guanyu became excited and said hurriedly: "So the price of 100,000 guan is too expensive, and we will only pay 10,000 guan at most." ”
Who knew that Gu Tianya suddenly laughed, and said with deep meaning: "Tea is not only the demand of the Central Plains. The staple food of the nomads in the north is meat, and they very much need to drink tea to dissolve the greasy, but tea is not controlled by the state, even if it is sold to other races, it is not considered a capital enemy, you think about it, how much profit is this......
The main thing is that it is a trade surplus.
Tea can only be produced in the Central Plains, and selling it to the steppe is dumping, and in the long run, the Turks can be subdued only by economic means.
Doesn't your family like to collude with the grassland?
I'm going to use your power to get your allies.
The key is that you are still happy to work hard to grow tea, thinking that you have got a great deal of money from me......
I will repay the end of the world, is it so easy to make money cheaply?
You don't allow me to be an official anymore, only allow me to be a businessman, okay, I'll be a businessman, but my businessman is different from what you imagined, and I will let you slowly understand what economic power is.
It's a pity that by the time you understand, I'm afraid it's too late to resist again.
……
