Chapter 46: Change

"Good, good job!"

After listening to Han Lucheng's words, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of approval.

The idea of credit is good, firstly, it can make the other party accept these two goods very comfortably, and there will be no feeling of being persecuted; Second, it doesn't make Bahari think, "These two things must be cheap, that's why they'll give me a batch."

And in this way, it is okay to have a higher price for spirits and tea.

Seeing that the king was very satisfied, Han Lucheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The king, as for the price, the small one is in charge, the liquor is five dollars a jar, and the tea bricks are always a catty...... As for how much he sold on the grassland, we don't care. ”

"Well, that's exactly how it should be!"

After listening to Han Lucheng's words, Li Yuanjia was even more satisfied.

Tea bricks that have always cost a pound, there must be a lot of room for price reduction. The main reason for this price now is that the cost is a bit high - whether it is the large iron pot used to fry tea, or the craftsmen who make these tea bricks, or even the long journey from Jiangnan to Chang'an, the price of tea bricks must be high in a short period of time.

In the future, the output of tea gardens in Jiangnan will go up, and there will be more people who have mastered the craft of making tea bricks, and the price will definitely be greatly reduced.

As for the distillation of high liquor......

I don't have to say that when you are qualified to monopolize a certain commodity, the so-called pricing is actually a matter of Li Yuanjia's thoughts.

And this thing, Li Yuanjia has been positioned as a luxury product from the beginning.

It costs food, labor, and iron, and if this thing is really a large-scale production, unless there is a large-scale improvement in the ironmaking process, the cost will definitely not be low! And as for whether high-alcohol can quickly change the Tang people's habit of drinking low-alcohol wine, Li Yuanjia has no score at all.

At least for a short time, it's quite a hang.

Therefore, Li Yuanjia's short-term goal is actually one, that is, the Fanbang barbarians in the bitter cold land of the north. Only they will have a demand for high-strength liquor – the colder the place, the more attractive the liquor will be to them. Moreover, the nobles on the grassland have abundant assets, and they have horses, cattle and sheep that the Tang people need, and they can easily afford these luxuries.

"Very well, so be it!"

The more he thought about it, the more satisfied he felt, Li Yuanjia nodded at Han Lucheng and said, "What is this called......

"Bahari!"

Seeing that the king couldn't seem to remember the name of this Turkic merchant, Han Lucheng immediately whispered.

"Yes, Bahari!"

Nodding, Li Yuanjia said casually: "This Bahari will be handed over to you, no matter what happens in the future, give me a good picture of this person!" In addition, since you have already managed the Xinhua Bookstore, and also managed the trading of distilled spirits and tea, the business of our palace will be under your control in the future! ”

"Huh? All, all in my hands? ”

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Han Lucheng's eyes widened instantly, and he stammered a little when he spoke.

Seeing the flushed look on Han Lucheng's face, Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "What, don't you want to care?" ”

"No, it's not!"

Swallowing his saliva vigorously, Han Lucheng's head immediately shook into a rattle: "Thank you for the king's trust, the little one will definitely do what the king explains!" ”

His heart was beating like thunder, but Han Lucheng still agreed without hesitation.

Maybe Daddy Han Shan can't see the business of the palace, and always feels that it is very inappropriate for the prince's mansion to do that business. But the young Han Lucheng could see that in the past two years, the king had built a large workshop outside the city, and he had asked them to recruit people and train them desperately, so I am afraid that he had already made up his mind - not to mention them, the subordinates of the palace, I am afraid that no one in the whole world except the emperor should be able to dispel his idea.

What a great opportunity, how can you miss it?

Seeing that Han Lucheng's excitement at this time could no longer be concealed on his face, the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth grinned, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He is not afraid that the subordinates in the house are ambitious, but he is afraid that they, like Han Shan, have completely solidified their lives.

In the future, the Han Wangfu will inevitably be the most trendy place in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention tea bricks and spirits, I don't know how many good things there are in the future! If everyone thinks that it is best to live a peaceful and stable life like Han Shan, then he Li Yuanjia simply doesn't do anything, just eat and wait for death every day!

So at this time, his heart moved, and Li Yuanjia simply asked: "Han Lucheng, what do you think of being the housekeeper if you are asked to be this housekeeper?" ”

"Me? I'm going to be a housekeeper? ”

Sure enough, as Li Yuanjia expected, hearing his words, Han Lucheng's voice began to tremble again.

"Yes, you can do it!"

After getting Li Yuanjia's confirmation, Han Lucheng hurriedly knelt down: "King, this housekeeper ...... Now he is the father, the younger, the younger......"

"Haha, get up!"

I was a little disappointed in my heart, but Li Yuanjia also knew that it was not yet time, so he waved his hand and smiled: "Do things well, there will be more new things in our palace in the future!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Barely suppressing his beating heart, Han Lucheng took a deep breath, and a strange look of fanaticism flashed in his eyes......

……

In June of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the days of Han Wangfu were quite unpeaceful.

Many new things, such as cards and spirits, appeared in front of everyone's eyes for the first time. In addition, although everyone has experienced the crazy thirteen incense before, when Xinhua Bookstore really opened in the East Market, everyone who is qualified to know about this matter is full of ups and downs.

Some are excited, some are worried, and some are ambitious.

But what everyone knows is that those workshops in the Zhuangzi outside the city will definitely become more and more important in the palace in the future. Therefore, Li Zhong and Zhang Wan, the young stewards, were originally looked down upon by many people because of their youth, but now they have finally become celebrities in the eyes of many people!

In particular, Wang Pu and Li Zhong, who were in charge of papermaking and movable type printing, Zhang Wan, who was in charge of construction, and Ma Liang, who was in charge of the school, were most favored by the people in the prefecture. The first two are highly valued because of the blank paper, and the construction and expansion of the major workshops outside the city are inseparable from Zhang Wan's hands, as for Ma Liang, who is in charge of the school, just look at the recent recruitment of a batch of small things that only eat and do not work, and the king also attaches great importance to it!

In comparison, Han Cheng and Sun Zhan are more inconspicuous.

Sun Zhan planted cotton for the king, and he served those delicate kapok in the field every day, and it was normal for no one to pay attention, but Han Cheng's glass workshop had not moved, but the king was never in a hurry, and he rarely even asked, which made people a little puzzled.

Especially when the hostess of Han Wang's Mansion began to really get in touch with these industries and found that the monthly expenses of the glass workshop were second only to the paper workshop, but she had never taken out anything, Fang Fengzhu couldn't help it......
