Volume 2 Debt Repayment Chapter 88 Can't Tea Be Sold?
Of course, someone set up a shrine, the last time he brought the cow back from the Cheng family Zhuangzi, he found that the god was mysterious and didn't know what to hide, or Xiao Cheng later told him, the Cheng family Zhuangzi set up a shrine for him because of the Quyuan plow, and gave him a long pillar of incense.
Li Gang was shocked when he heard this, the matter of Qu Yuanli has not spread yet, it is an eventful time at this time, and Li Shimin has no heart to do this kind of thing for a long time.
Li Chengyang gave Li Gang a brief description of the ins and outs of the matter, focusing on the efficiency of the Quyuan plow, which made the old Li Gang excited.
"Okay, okay, there is such a thing, you kid can make trouble as much as you want, there are still a few people in this world who dare to say you, these days you look for an opportunity, be sure to put this matter into your hands, once you preside over the completion of the construction of the Quyuan plow, it is not impossible to establish the holy ground."
I didn't expect Qu Yuanli to have different interpretations in the hearts of different people, Cheng Jiazheng thought of a variety of acres of land when he saw it, and Li Shimin saw it, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty instantly rose significantly, and in Li Gang's eyes, it became a symbol of sanctification.
Whoever said it was right, but Li Chengyang still didn't want to take this matter into his own hands, after all, he was lazy.
As long as the person in charge is not a fool, he will not be cheating and corrupt in this kind of thing, compared with the name of the history, the little money is really not worth mentioning, so Li Chengyang is not worried that Qu Yuan Li will not be promoted.
Besides, the matter of the three crops of rice has not been said, and even in the near future, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops may appear on the dining table of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
"Master Li, don't worry, I believe that my father will definitely find the right person to be in charge of this matter, the things that the kid took out, and then with the status of the kid, I'm afraid that someone will be able to rob me of the credit, besides, although there are not many such things here, there are still a few things, I took the main credit, and I must share some of it to the people below, otherwise I won't be told by others to eat alone."
Li Gang's slightly ruddy face just now gradually faded, it was really too much of an impact on him, he was not a king like Li Shimin, just a Confucian student who had been studying poetry and books for many years, and suddenly knew such a good thing, so he was naturally excited.
Now the excitement faded for a moment, and then I followed Li Chengyang's words and remembered, indeed, most of the credit has fallen into Li Chengyang's hands, and the rest of the side details don't need to be scrambled, and when I heard it again, Li Chengyang still had a lot of similar ideas in his heart, and he was shocked:
"If you have any other ideas, come quickly, and plan for the teacher to plan for you."
Li Chengyang pulled Li Gang out of the door of the study, and pointed to the old cow who was grazing leisurely in the gatehouse: "Isn't that, that nose ring was made by a kid, and the importance of this is not much different from that of Quyuan plow."
Li Gang looked at the slow cow and wondered: "What's the use of this, the old man used to pull the cart in the past, it was a horse, and this cow was given to me by His Majesty when he saw the horse running too fast. ”。
Li Gang's problem is the problem of the current readers, saying that the efficiency of the Quyuan plough is the door clear, but when he sees a cow with a nose ring, he doesn't know the truth, after all, many scholars have never been on the ground in their lives, let alone compete with the cow.
Li Chengyang reluctantly said the role of the nose ring again, and Li Gang understood the important role in it.
Holding Li Chengyang's hand, he walked tremblingly to the cow, holding the cow's head and rubbing vigorously: "Your Majesty treats the old minister so much, and the old minister will repay him with death."
Seeing a person and a cow rubbing against each other, Li Chengyang pursed his mouth and left by himself, he was still sleepy, besides, he couldn't understand the strange habits of humans and animals.
I looked at the tea leaves that were still drying in the yard, and after thinking about it, I didn't go to sleep at all, so many teas, one person must not be able to drink them all, send some to a few good friends, just talk about some cooperation things, he must not be able to do such a business alone, since he wants to be big, he must pull a few people together.
told Li Gang what he thought, Li Gang pondered for a while, and didn't say whether it was feasible or not, but just asked him to go to Li Shimin to inform him and see his reaction.
Since the teachers have spoken, let's go, although Li Gang is his own teacher, but he is also a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and no one can find fault with his loyalty to Li Shimin.
Out of the East Palace, I first took the tea to the eldest grandson to ask for a peace, left a lot, and carefully explained the drinking method to the maid before moving to Li Shimin's study.
It seems that it has not changed for 10,000 years, Li Shimin is still lying on the bookcase and flipping through the folds, no matter when he comes, he can only see his busy figure, getting up earlier than the chicken, sleeping later than the dog, this is the side effect of the right?
diligently made a cup of tea for Li Shimin, first took a sip of it himself, and then put it on the bookcase:
"Dad, this is the tea I made newly under the enlightenment of Master Li, can you taste it?"
Li Shimin didn't have a head, picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, just as he wanted to drive Li Chengyang out, he felt the subtle fragrance of tea in his mouth and sighed softly:
"This tea is good, it's better than what I drank before, I didn't expect you to be able to do something good, it seems that it's right to find Li Lao to be your teacher, okay, go down, I'll get some tea later."
Of course, Li Chengyang would not retreat like this, he just left, his business could not be done, and he poured tea full for Li Shimin, and said with a smile:
"Dad, you also said that this is a good thing, I wonder if I can sell this thing, didn't you say that I will earn my own money in the future, this is a good business, let's sell this thing to Datang, there are more people who need this kind of tea on the grassland, and you can get forty percent of the money, how about it."
Forty percent is already the limit, the tea business income is greater than the ice division, and it is much larger, it is good in the territory of Datang, once it is sold to the grassland, a pound of tea for a horse or a few sheep is cheaper, the grassland people usually eat meat, and urgently need tea to relieve greasy, and at the same time can promote digestion, they themselves do not produce, can only rely completely on the poor little tea bricks brought by the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.
Now there is better tea, and no one wants to sell expensive tea, the grassland is too rich, the poor are too poor, but how rich he is, he has no place to buy things, some handicrafts are only available in Datang, so Datang's products have been a little inflated in the grassland.
Li Shimin put down the fold in his hand and thought about it carefully: "I don't want it, don't sell tea, if you lack money, I will give you some from my private treasury first, and I will talk about tea later."
Raised his eyebrows, how could Li Shimin be willing to give up such a big profit from tea? To say that he doesn't love money, it's impossible, when the income of the fan and the ice control division is handed over, he is smiling and can't see his eyes, why is the greater benefit in front of him now, but he doesn't want it.
Li Shimin seemed to see his doubts, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm curious, right, your tea is a good thing, there is no greasy thing to add, it has a unique taste, it can be said to be the best choice, if you enter the grassland, it will definitely be very popular, even in the Tang Dynasty, it must be a big hit." Sell, the money rolls in".
Li Chengyang nodded: "Then what is the father?" ”。
"Why don't you sell it, right, because ah, such a good thing has already been started, and now if you want to intervene horizontally, this Datang is afraid that it will start to be turbulent, and now it is an eventful time, you put this tea first, let it go, and there will be a chance to sell it to you in the future" Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a trace of inexplicable brilliance, and he said that in the end, he even brought a little murderous aura.
With an idea, the only people who can provoke turmoil in the Tang Dynasty are: "It's a family again?" What family can eat such a big market? ”。
Li Shimin pouted: "Yes, the seven largest families are involved, but the biggest of them are Boling Cui and Qinghe Cui, these two families account for eighty percent, and the families intermarry in private, and the whole body is affected, you have to rush in to grab food with them, according to your virtue, there is not even scum left if you are not eaten, even if you win them, then this Datang will be in chaos, the gains outweigh the losses, let it go."
This is the monopoly, the family united to monopolize the tea completely, others want to insert a foot, then he must be greeted by a storm, the family wins to eat your industry, fatten themselves, once the family loses, move the foundation of the family, it will definitely set off an uproar.
Shook his head regretfully, I thought it was just tea, who would sell it badly, I didn't expect that there was such a big doorway here, and the fire of the Ice Division before made him miss Datang, but he didn't use any effort in the whole process, it was so long and lush.
Now that I think about it, it may be because no one has ever treated ice to sell it, and fans and ice cream are also things that have never been done before, and they can also bring benefits to various places, so it is smooth sailing, and it is a green light everywhere you go.
It's not good now, people make a living from it, and they have a strong influence, and they move the foundation of others, and they don't fight with you, that's a joke.
"Dad, what about other families?" Li Chengyang simply inquired about the various families first, and stepped on the thunder again in the future.
"Fanyang Lu's family, Xingyang Zheng's family each accounted for thirty percent of the cloth business, Taiyuan Wang's family and Zhaojun Li's family accounted for eighty percent of the salt industry, as for iron" said iron, Li Shimin pondered for a while.
Li Chengyang counted with his fingers: "Tea, cloth, salt, it's just a bit of iron, which bold family dares to occupy iron, if you don't monitor it well, it's easy to make trouble."
Li Shimin glanced at him angrily: "It seems that you know a lot, I don't know, the iron is now all controlled by the Li family in Longxi, you go and monitor it."
"Hehe, Dad, I don't have such a big ability, where is this Longxi Li family, why is it so powerful, can you rest assured? I can't even rest assured."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes vaguely: "If you don't learn something, the patriarch of the Li clan in Longxi is your imperial grandfather, where do you say he is, go out and go out, I will be upset when I see you."
Yes, no wonder Li Shimin was relieved, it turned out to be his own family, and it turned out that there were still things about their family in the Five Hopes and Seven Natures.
almost understood, seeing that Li Shimin was impatient, he saluted and prepared to leave.
"By the way, all families have a grain industry, it's just a matter of how much, if you want to think about food, ask your teacher in advance" As soon as he walked outside the door, Li Shimin added again.
Now there is no need to count, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these families are accounted for, and they all occupy the majority, no wonder a single tea leaves make Li Shimin fearful, once the bottom line of the family is touched, the families join forces to make trouble, and the consequences are really not acceptable to the current Datang.
"This emperor is too sloppy, obviously he wants to eat them alive, but he still has to avoid them everywhere" muttered while walking, Li Shimin's murderous intent towards the family was not hidden in front of him, but it was conceivable that Li Shimin had long regarded the family as a thorn in the flesh, but he could only endure and wait for a great opportunity.
"Da Da Da" There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from a distance, Li Chengyang's heart tightened, who dared to ride a horse in this palace, and he had lived enough?
