Chapter 1363: Start building a tea garden! (Thank you to the alliance leader for the reward of the black and red plum side!) )
(2-in-1 chapter)
"Oh? Master Hou, you have orders, Zheng will fully cooperate! ”
Unsan Annex.
Hearing that Li Zexuan wanted to do a tea business and needed everyone's help, Zheng Yinhong's expression moved, and he hurriedly gave up.
"We are also willing to help Master Hou!"
Cao Wendong and others also gave up their hands.
Li Zexuan nodded and said loudly: "Okay!" With your help, Ben Hou will be more confident in doing this tea business! First of all, we have to solve the problem of the source of tea, the weather in the north is dry, not suitable for the growth of tea trees, so this tea must be picked from the south! ”
Speaking of this, Li Zexuan looked at Zheng Yinhong and said: "Ben Hou sent this tea to the palace yesterday, and after tasting it, the saint liked it very much, and decided to list the fairy tea as tribute tea, so the tea needed in this palace in the future needs to be collected by the owner of Zheng Zhuang in the Jiangnan area!" ”
"Tribute tea?"
Several people were shocked, and a monstrous wave was set off in their hearts, but Zheng Yinhong's face changed, and said: "Master Hou, the fairy tea is listed as tribute tea, which certainly shows that its quality is unparalleled in the world, but once it is listed as tribute tea, it should not be sold among the people at will!" ”
When everyone heard this, they came back to their senses, and Cao Wendong nodded and agreed: "Master Hou, what Master Zheng Zhuang said is reasonable!" Once the fairy tea is listed as tribute tea, how can the people enjoy it at will? ”
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can't say that, today's saints love the people like children, and they like to have fun with the people the most, besides, we can make a batch of top-level fairy tea, which is specially supplied to the palace, as for the grade slightly inferior, and then put it on sale among the people, when the time comes, the fairy tea will be sold by virtue of the reputation of tribute tea, and it is impossible to sell it not big!" ”
At this time in the Tang Dynasty, there were no very strict restrictions on court tribute, as long as the tribute was handed over to the court on time, it was not that once something was listed as tribute, it must not be sold in the people*** cucumber, before the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, it has always been a tribute, but the people can't eat it? Obviously not, as long as you have the money, you can definitely buy it!
As for the palace tribute tea, this has never been precedent before, Zheng Yinhong and others are completely out of a foolproof attitude, so they will have this kind of worry!
"Master Hou's trick is clever, but this fairy tea can also be divided into three, six, nine and so on?"
Feng Zhihua stroked his beard and said suspiciously.
The tea they used to drink was crushed and cooked with seasonings, so how could there be any concept of tea grading?
Li Zexuan smiled slightly: "Of course, this tea can be divided into three, six, nine and so on, generally speaking, the shorter and more tender the buds and leaves, and the smaller the angle between the buds and leaves, the better the quality of such tea!" Therefore, the top fresh tea must be a bud and a leaf at the beginning of the exhibition, the bud and leaf angle is small, the bud is longer than the leaf, the bud and leaf are evenly fat, and the length of the bud and leaf is not more than one inch.
In addition, the frying method should also be exquisite, in my opinion, the fried tea should be flat and smooth, very delicate and sharp, tender green and fresh, uniform and heavy, and the bud peak is revealed, so that the top fresh tea, with the top frying method, naturally becomes the top fairy tea!
Using this top-notch fairy tea as a tribute, and selling the rest of the slightly inferior ones, not only preserves the face of the saint, but also allows everyone in the world to taste the deliciousness of the fairy tea, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone! ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, and they all thought that this plan was very appropriate!
Zheng Yinhong was even more convinced: "Hou Ye's research and attainments in the tea ceremony can be called a generation of grandmasters, Zheng used to think that he had a lot of research on the tea ceremony, but today after listening to Hou Ye's words, he realized that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well!" ”
"Eh~! Master Zheng Zhuang don't say that, in fact, these things are all learned by Ben Hou from his family teacher, and they can't be regarded as his own skills! ”
Li Zexuan smiled, and then said: "Master Zhengzhuang, Benhou wants to establish a tea garden in the south of the Yangtze River, but Benhou has been in Chang'an for many years, and the affairs of the tea garden have no time to manage, so ......"
"As long as Hou Ye can trust Zheng, Zheng is willing to manage the tea garden for Hou Ye!"
As soon as Li Zexuan's voice fell, Zheng Yinhong immediately answered.
Cao Wendong and the others were silent at the moment, although they had business dealings with the south, but they were not southerners after all, unlike Zheng Yinhong, who had a huge foundation and extensive network in the south, and went to the south to help Li Zexuan build a tea garden, they had more than enough heart but not enough strength!
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said, "Lord Zheng's kindness, Ben Hou has received it!" It's not that I can't believe it, but I bother the owner of Zheng Zhuang so much, Ben Hou will not be happy in his heart! Therefore, Ben Hou wants to open a fairy tea garden with Zheng Zhuang, specializing in picking and frying fairy tea, and Ben Hou is willing to take out the frying method of fairy tea to share, and let's build a largest, most famous and top tea garden together! ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!
Everyone didn't expect that Li Zexuan was willing to share the frying method of fairy tea, you know, with the reputation of tribute tea, as well as the high-quality taste and taste of fairy tea itself, as long as Li Zexuan solves the source channel of tea, he can rely on tea to earn endless wealth! After all, in the entire Tang Dynasty, no tea merchant can come up with tea that can compete with fairy tea, so naturally there is no way to compete with Li Zexuan!
Zheng Yinhong dominates the Jiangnan shopping mall, but he is not a person who has never seen the world, but at this moment, his face still can't help but show a look of emotion, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "How can Zheng Mou build a tea garden with Hou Ye?" If Hou Ye has what he needs, Zheng is willing to do his best to help Hou Ye, Hou Ye's method of roasting tea, Zheng will never dare to covet it! ”
is worthy of being a person who has seen a big scene, Zheng Yinhong still kept his heart at a critical time in the face of huge interests, he is not stupid, don't look at him in the business sea in the south of the Yangtze River, but Li Zexuan is a marquis, and it is as easy as pinching an ant to death if he wants to pinch him to death, after all, the division of social hierarchies in Shinong Industry and Commerce is not a joke. So, his mind raced, and after some serious consideration, he still rejected this tempting offer!
Seeing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, and then he looked at Zheng Yinhong with a smile, and said: "Master Zheng, you are a businessman, we are talking about business now, this business is more expensive than fairness, you help Benhou build a tea garden for free, but it is not like doing business!"
You should know that Ben Hou is not short of money, and he doesn't like to oppress people with power, so this tea garden, if you are willing to help, then Ben Hou will divide you into forty percent of the dry shares, and the income of the tea garden in the future will be divided into forty percent of you, if you are not willing to help, it doesn't matter, Ben Hou will find someone else! ”
In the face of such generous conditions offered by Li Zexuan, everyone present was thrilled, and Cao Wendong and others all cast envious eyes on Zheng Yinhong.
Zheng Yinhong was silent, from his frowning brows and grim face, he could still see that he was struggling violently in his heart, and after being silent for a long time, Zheng Yinhong finally spoke, and he bowed to Li Zexuan and said:
"Master Hou is upright and righteous, and he is kind-hearted, and Zheng admires him so much! Since the Hou Ye treats me with sincerity, the old man Zheng Yinhong swears here today that he will do his best to manage the tea garden for the Hou family from generation to generation, and if there is any betrayal, I hope that the men of my Zheng family will be slaves for generations and women will be prostitutes for generations! ”
He understood that after obtaining Li Zexuan's secret method of roasting tea, he had to be loyal to Li Zexuan, and he had to make Li Zexuan believe in him completely, so he made this vow!
Everyone was moved, and Li Zexuan couldn't help but move slightly, you must know that the ancients attached great importance to heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and oaths, no one dared to swear casually, let alone Zheng Yinhong, and directly swear to their children and grandchildren!
Li Zexuan hurriedly helped Zheng Yinhong up and said: "Master Zheng doesn't have to be like this, the Zheng family has been doing business in Jiangnan for generations, and they are the most trustworthy, who doesn't know the credit of Lord Zheng?" Who doesn't believe it? ”
To be honest, the reason why he so easily took out the secret recipe for roasted tea and shared it was mainly due to two reasons: first, his roasted tea method is actually not difficult to learn, and after the launch of fairy tea, the world's tea merchants will work together to find out his method of roasting tea within a year.
Second, Li Zexuan actually didn't plan to do tea business at the beginning, at most he wanted to fry a small batch of tea for himself and give it to the people around him, and he is now dedicated to promoting Datang's basic science and technology, and he doesn't want to spend time making money in the tea business! He is not short of money! But Li Er listed the fairy tea as a tribute tea and asked him to be responsible for the supply of tea in the palace in the future, since he decided to be a "licking dog" yesterday, he had to "lick" to the end. And he himself doesn't have time, so he can only "delegate power" to Zheng Yinhong and them!
Anyway, he believes that with his current status, Zheng Yinhong does not dare to betray him, he believes that Zheng Yinhong is a smart person!
Now, Zheng Yinhong has made this vow, which makes him even more sure that his judgment is correct!
Cao Wendong, who was on the side, also nodded at this moment and echoed: "The Zheng family dominates the south of the Yangtze River and is the most trustworthy in the business field, which is indeed well known to everyone!" ”
Zheng Yinhong glanced at Cao Wendong gratefully, and then arched his hand at Li Zexuan and said: "Hou Ye is so sincere, but Zheng can't help but know how to lift, the dry shares of the Immortal Tea Garden, Zheng can only take thirty percent, if Hou Ye is unwilling, then Zheng can only forgive his fate!" However, Zheng has a reluctant request, I hope Hou Ye can agree! ”
"Oh? Master Zheng, please speak! ”
Li Zexuan's expression moved slightly, and he was a little curious.
Zheng Yinhong said in a deep voice: "Zheng knows that Hou Ye has established a Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and he has always been fascinated in his heart, I wonder if Hou Ye can also let Zheng join this Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce?" ”
Yicheng is a dry stock of the Immortal Tea Garden, and in exchange for a membership of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, in the long run, he still has a loss, after all, the future potential of the Immortal Tea Garden is unlimited! However, the reason why he made this suggestion was mainly because he felt that the dry shares of the Forty Percent Immortal Tea Garden were too hot, so he divided one percent and asked for a membership quota of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, which could not only protect his self, but also broaden the way for the Zheng family!
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "Ben Hou has no opinion, but I have an idea here, Ben Hou takes out the dry shares of Yicheng Immortal Tea Garden, Boss Cao, Boss Lin, Boss Feng, you can discuss taking out the original dry shares of Yicheng Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce and distributing them to Zheng Zheng Zhuang Owner, and as a reward, the dry shares of this Chengxian Tea Garden will be divided equally by you according to the corresponding proportion, how about it?" ”
At the beginning, the first batch of members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce was determined through auction, and the proportion of dry shares held by each person was determined according to the proportion of their money, and the amount of goods they received from the workshop in the future was directly linked to the dry shares of the Chamber of Commerce they held.
To put it simply, Li Zexuan is now using Zheng Yinhong's Yicheng Immortal Tea Garden dry shares to exchange Cao Wendong and others for the dry shares of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, anyway, he will definitely not lose in this wave of exchange, he still controls sixty percent of the tea garden dry shares!
Cao Wendong and the others glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and said one after another: "I am willing to follow the arrangement of the Hou Ye!" ”
They are not stupid, the goods that Zheng Yinhong received from the Strange Pavilion Workshop are to be transported to the Jiangnan side to sell, and they do not conflict with their business at all! On the contrary, after owning the dry shares of the tea garden, they can get involved in the tea business, and they would not have been able to get the dry shares of the tea garden, because with their connections, they can't help Li Zexuan build a tea garden at all, but now that Li Zexuan has given them a chance, how can they seize it?
Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, everyone will be happy!" Later, Ben Hou will mark the best places for several tea gardens on the map, and when the time comes, Zheng Zhuang will help build tea gardens in these places, and as for the cost of building tea gardens, we will bear them together! ”
Zheng Yinhong arched his hand and said: "Yes!" Master Hou! ”
Li Zexuan smiled, then picked up the teacup and said, "Come, let's replace wine with tea to celebrate the addition of a new member to our Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce today!" ”
……………………………
After negotiating the construction of the tea garden, Zheng Yinhong took the map handed over to him by Li Zexuan that afternoon and set off for Jiangnan.
On the map handed to him by Li Zexuan, the best places for the construction of tea plantations were marked, and almost all of these sites were places where Longjing tea was abundant in previous lives, such as Shifeng Mountain, Longjing Mountain, Qipan Mountain, Shangtianzhu, Wengjia Mountain, Yangmeiling, Manjuelong, Baihe Peak and dozens of other peaks. Li Zexuan wants to rely on the memory of his previous life to quickly monopolize these high-quality tea production areas, even if someone finds a high-quality roasted tea method later, the quality of the tea will be far inferior to the fairy tea!
Of course, in addition to the task of building a tea garden, Zheng Yinhong returned to Jiangnan this time, and the top priority was to go to the existing tea mountain, and send people to pick a batch of fresh tea leaves as soon as possible to make tribute tea.
