Chapter 107 Merchants gathered, and the tea and wine were amazing
"Your Highness, this old slave won't either, I'm afraid I'm going to delay His Highness's big business!"
Seeing that the date was approaching, Li Fangchen asked Liu Sancheng to make some arrangements, but Liu Sancheng was stupid when he heard it, auctioneer? What the?
"Uncle Liu, are you still letting me and Qingque go on stage?"
It's simply impossible, neither the Queen Mother nor Her Majesty will allow this kind of thing to happen.
The venue needed for the auction has been bought by Li Chengqian and decorated again, for this "rude" era, Fang Chen does not plan to set up any etiquette sisters or waiters.
Inside are all Zuo Wuwei who came from Li Shimin's side, do you have the ability to be arrogant to your master?
Fundamentally put an end to trouble, this is Fang Chen's personality.
It is divided into auction tables, Shangjia District, Hu Shang District, Minister District, and the most important Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion!
A few hard-to-find night pearls were specially placed on the auction table, and the venue was also extremely luxurious.
This time, Li Fangchen and Li Chengqian's plan is to use tea to open the way.
After the auction, there will be a special tea sale, but that price is ...... I hope the Hu businessmen don't vomit blood.
In addition, on the day of the auction, no one will get a small glass of wine specially given by Li Chengqian, and after drinking, the second cup will cost money, as for how much? At that time, it will be determined with reference to the transaction price of tea.
With the help of Xuan Twelve, Fang Chen made fifty catties of distilled liquor in ten days, and it still belonged to the head of the wine, so he had to drink it with water.
These fifty catties can make five hundred catties of wine, and Li Tai plans to price one or two gold!
Li Shimin scolded angrily, how can such a fine wine be sold together!
Li Fangchen persuaded for a long time, "Father, this wine is brewed by us, and others don't understand it. β
Although Li Shimin is unwilling, he can't rob them by force, just let them mess around first.
An auction mallet made of golden silk nanmu is also the first in the world.
If this auction can really produce results, Li Fangchen feels that it is necessary to make a long-term plan for Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and it will be much faster than taxes to do it once a year!
Ten sets of glazed bottles (delicate wine glasses), as well as six sets of glazed tea sets, these are all made by Li Tai "urgently", specially used to "pit", no, sell for money.
In addition, Li Tai also specially made two glazed horses and mirrors with a width of one meter on all sides.
Anyway, everything in the palace is ready, and it is not too much of a problem to take it out and sell it at the moment.
This is the benefit of the royal family, as long as he doesn't say it, no one dares to ask the royal family for the formula.
Say what? For the monarch not to take the people's profits? I'm sorry, these properties belong to the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the King of Wei, you have the ability to say something, see if His Royal Highness the King of Wei will send someone to tear up your broken mouth.
Since Li Fangchen came, Li Tai has completely let himself go and become a prince? Forget it, it feels more interesting to follow the second brother!
One day in advance, the twelve sisters came to the venue to start arranging, and everything in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion had to be repeatedly ensured that there were no problems before leaving.
In the autumn of the third year of Zhenguan, there are still three days before the day of harvest.
On the thirteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, something happened in the entire Chang'an that can go down in history.
The crown prince took the lead, the second son of the emperor, King Chengyu of Qin, and the fourth son of the emperor, King Li Tai of Wei, jointly launched an unprecedented auction.
It is known that as many as 67 merchants participated in the auction, 176 civil and military officials and families, and 74 merchants from various countries.......
"Your Majesty has arrived! arrives! β
The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion was opened, there were no empty seats in the auction hall, everyone saluted, and Li Shimin nodded slightly, "I am just a spectator today." β
Although it was simple to say, no one dared to take this sentence seriously, the dragon was on the side, and hurriedly raised his position, so as not to leave a bad face in front of His Majesty.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! His Royal Highness the King of Qin has arrived! His Royal Highness the King of Wei has arrived! β
The three brothers also enjoyed the public salute again, and then went upstairs and stepped into the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.
"Queen Mother, look at it, it's not bad, right?" Li Tai couldn't help but immediately run to the eldest grandson's side to flatter and compete for favor.
The eldest grandson Wujian covered his mouth and said: "Wu'er has a heart, I will send all of them to Kunning Palace when I turn around, and I won't pull any of them!" β
The entire Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, carpets, tables and chairs, cushions, tea sets on the table, and furnishings on both sides can be said to be unparalleled in the world.
Li Tai's face darkened, he turned his head to look at his two elder brothers, and found that the two of them didn't look at him at all, so he couldn't help but start calculating, if he got a new set for his mother, how much would it cost?
"Yu'er, you're not down there, okay?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
Li Fangchen squinted slightly, "Father, don't worry, the show is about to begin!" β
βDuang~οΌβ
A gong sounded to startle the four seats, and a thousand tigers guarded the town in all directions.
A full 1,000 people Zuo Wuwei, nearly half of them walked out with trays in their hands, and gave each person a pastry, a pot of tea, and a glass of wine.
There is also Longfeng Pavilion, Li Shimin naturally understands that this is a careful game for them, and he doesn't explain it thoroughly, but looks at it with relish.
"Good tea! Good tea! β
The tea is light, and the aftertaste instantly stimulates everyone's taste buds.
Cheng Zhijie's loud voice shouted directly: "Come, give the old man another pot!" β
The Zuo Wuwei soldiers next to him couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, this is arranged by His Royal Highness, and there is only one pot per person!" β
"What! Didn't I drink it and it wouldn't be gone? β
The soldier hurriedly nodded, and at the same time reminded Cheng Zhijie in a low voice, "Grandpa, put the tea aside first, you taste the wine, just this glass, everyone is the same, and you won't serve it again after drinking!" β
seems to be saying it to Cheng Zhijie alone, but in fact, the voice was not lowered, which is equivalent to telling everyone.
When they looked at the glass of wine with the seal on it, everyone was a little surprised.
No way, the taste of distilled liquor is really gluttonous, Li Fangchen didn't want to make a mess at the beginning, fortunately, he sealed the mouth of the cup with paper, which made it easier for him to enter the next plan.
The paper seal was removed, and everyone swallowed at the same time.
The fragrance was overflowing, and the entire auction room was occupied by the aroma of wine for a moment, and everyone's eyes never left the wine in the clear glass for a moment.
Li Shimin, who was sitting in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, saw this scene and couldn't help laughing, thinking, a few days ago, I made a lot of ugliness because of this wine, and now none of you can escape!
At the same time, he was also curious, what Yu'er planned to do, and what price would this wine and tea sell?
"What wine! Good wine......"
"This wine can only be found in the sky, how many times is it rare to find it in the world?"
"Immortal wine entrance, no loss in this life!"
"I'd love to take another bite......."
The people below, regardless of the officials, businessmen, or family and Hu merchants, all had unfinished words written on their faces at the moment, pursing their lips and enjoying the aroma of wine echoing in their mouths.
"Dare to ask, can you give me another glass of this wine?"
The person who got up to ask looked a little raw, judging from the way he dressed, he should be a businessman.
He was followed by a pigtailed boy beside him, which made Li Fangchen above feel a little familiar.
"Strange, why do you always feel like you've seen that little guy?"
The question was only for a moment, Fang Chen quickly straightened his attitude, and shouted in the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion: "The auction is over, you can make a bid, immortal wine is hard to find, and each person is limited to ten catties!" β
