Chapter 267: Trouble

After the matter was discussed, several people immediately discussed when to transport and how much tea and wine to the Yuan people.

"Yuxi, what grade of wine and tea do you think is the most profitable in the past?" Jia Ling, a shrewd woman, asked about Li Yuxi at the beginning.

"Sister-in-law, I think you have to ask for all kinds of grades, but you have to divide the share."

"Let's talk about Sister Yuxi carefully." Jia Ling asked calmly.

"Sister-in-law, tea is a luxury in our and Yuan people, that is, it is a very face-saving thing to have a few catties of good tea at the home of the emperor's relatives, so ordinary people can't afford to drink tea." Li Yuxi said with some shame.

"So many ordinary people can't afford to drink tea and have no fruits and vegetables to eat, won't they get sick?"

"Yes."

Li Yuxi's answer made Jia Ling and Shi Bin very puzzled, since ordinary people can't afford to drink tea, then selling tea is equivalent to contact with the powerful, which is too dangerous.

Knowing that Shi Bin and Jia Ling had misunderstood, Li Yuxi immediately explained: "The common people drink the worst tea, but in fact, they can't be called tea and are just broken tea dregs, that is, only big families have the ability to drink some real tea..."

It turns out that the bottom group only drinks broken tea residues, and only when they reach large households can they drink things that can be called tea.

"According to what you mean, Yuxi, we sell the most ordinary green tea with the best profits?" Jia Ling, a little money fan, asked before Li Yuxi finished speaking.

"Sister-in-law, this is not. Green tea certainly sells well, but it is difficult to preserve, so the profit is not necessarily the highest. The most profitable should be white, black, dark and pu-erh teas that can be preserved for a long time. ”

These things made Shi Bin, Jia Ling and Zhao Gang, who could only drink tea and not understand tea, stunned when they heard it, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

Zhao Gang was the first to stand it and asked directly: "Yuxi, you just tell us what kind of tea is the best to sell, don't say any white tea, black tea, black tea and Pu'er tea, we don't understand." ”

Seeing that Zhao Gang didn't understand what he said, Shi Bin and Jia Ling didn't bother to pretend to understand, and directly asked what kind of tea was the most profitable to sell.

"It's just selling all kinds of tea bricks." Li Yuxi understood that he was talking about the complicated, so he simply said simply, "Although this kind of tea is a little difficult to pry open, it has a long shelf life, because it is pressed together, so I am not afraid of losing money due to deterioration, and the business will be long-term and stable." ”

As soon as he heard the 'tea brick' Shi Bin immediately thought of the black thing he saw at home in his previous life, which was black like a brick but harder than a brick, and the gift giver said that it was brick tea, which was not expensive, but just a taste for himself.

Thinking of this, Shi Bin immediately told Jia Ling and Zhao Gang, who were still puzzled, to make the two understand. Anyone knows that the drier things are, the easier they are to preserve, not to mention the fact that they have become something harder than bricks, and the shelf life will be shorter. The price is not high, and the tea with such a high cost performance has to be out of stock wherever it goes.

"Then the nine achievements in the tea we sell are brick teas of various grades, and only one percent is left as a stepping stone for high-end teas such as West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, and Qimen black tea." Shi Bin said with certainty.

Everyone agreed very much with Shi Bin's suggestion, although they wanted to use the merchant to do special work, but the business used as a cover must be run well, otherwise not only would they lose money but also have flaws, and all the hard-earned money would be lost.

After discussing the tea, then the wine, but although the Yuan people are good wine, they have not yet reached the point where they can't survive without wine, not to mention that the wine is the fragrance of aging, as long as it is stored properly, the longer it is, the more rare it is. Therefore, the question of what kind of wine to sell is much simpler, and you can mix it as you like.

It didn't take long to arrive at the foot of Ezhou City, but Shi Bin and Jia Ling hesitated to consider whether to just go in to see Jia Rudao.

"Madam, the alliance we made with Wu Qian, Yu Jue, and Zhao Kui this time has protected me and your father from the attack of Zheng Qingzhi and others, and the establishment of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce has also given him an extra way to make money, and he must be happy. But..."

"Are you afraid that my father will guess that we are going to go to Yuanren's 'business'?" Jia Ling smiled mischievously.

"Of course, no matter how old your father is, he can't guess what we think, at most he is not sure, maybe he will cheat us, see what we really think."

"What then? It seems that you must not show that you want to go. Jia Ling said anxiously.

"Of course, we can't show what we really think, but I don't think it's the best way to do it. If you do that, your father will know our true intentions with just one word, and that would be bad. ”

Jia Ling was a little anxious when Shi Bin said this, this was a major matter related to whether she could go to the Yuanren territory to be a 'businessman'. It's not a simple fight, but a more exciting underground job, and the opportunity is very rare and must not be lost. If she loses it because of a few stupid words, she will hate herself to death.

"So what the hell is going on? Tell me about it. It was because of concern that Jia Ling had run out of ideas, so she simply threw the problem to Shi Bin.

"What to do? If you want me to see it, I just admit that I want to go, but I don't dare to go. ”

"Want to go, but don't dare to go? Why? Jia Ling asked, "Doesn't this still not relieve my father's suspicions?" ”

"That's the only way, do you just admit that you will go, and let your father send someone to keep an eye on us?"

"Of course it can't be, but it can't be like you said, 'admit that you want to go but don't dare to go'!" Jia Ling shouted a little excitedly.

Suddenly, Shi Bin stopped paying attention to Jia Ling, and let her wait anxiously for an answer on the side, while he just stood and bowed his head and muttered. Seeing that Shi Bin suddenly ignored herself, Jia Ling, the eldest lady, suddenly lost her temper, slapped and beat him, and scolded: "What are you doing with a pestle like a wax?" Hurry up and find a way, if you can't go, I won't be able to spare you! ”

Can't spare me? Shi Bin couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and he also felt that Jia Ling's beating was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt pain.

"Bitter Meat Trick!" Shi Bin suddenly thought and said with a smile.

"You mean the bitter meat trick?"

"Yes, ma'am, I mean bitter meat tricks." Shi Bin smiled gloomily.

"Then who deserves this bitter meat? You, am I or you? Jia Ling asked very coldly.

When Jia Ling asked, Shi Bin was stuck. Who shall be the bitter flesh? Jia Ling or herself? When he was about to say 'you', Jia Ling glared angrily, and Shi Bin had no choice but to say 'I'.

Since it is determined that Shi Bin will suffer, it is necessary to make a detailed plan for why and how he will suffer.

Jia Ling is a master of this kind of thing, and she definitely frowned and thought about it, and after a while, she came up with a clever plan. Then he went to Jia Rudao's mansion.

As soon as they saw Jia Rudao, Shi Bin and Jia Ling were both 'happy'. Jia Rudao was naturally a little puzzled when he saw it, and immediately asked, "Why are you husband and wife so happy?" ”

In this case, it is naturally Jia Ling, the eldest lady of the Jia family, who is the most suitable to speak, Shi Bin gave a look, and Jia Ling immediately said: "This time, we united Wu Qian, Yu Jue and Zhao Kui to persuade the emperor to agree to the marriage of Li Yuxi and Zhao Gang, and we made a windfall. ”

There has never been anyone who doesn't love money, let alone Jia Rudao, a corrupt official. As soon as he heard that he had made a fortune, he immediately asked excitedly, "It's good not to be a ginseng, how can you still get rich?" You two can't lie to your father, right? ”

Jia Ling immediately said disdainfully, "Father, are the two of us so useless in your eyes?" ”

Of course, this is a big surprise, just ask to be sure, it's not that Jia Yidao really denies the ability of the two, he immediately smiled and said, "Of course I don't mean that, I just feel too surprised to be a father." Tell me exactly what this windfall was all about? ”

"Father-in-law, it's because the Zhao Chamber of Commerce was established."

Zhao's Chamber of Commerce? This chamber of commerce has never heard of it, but he feels that there must be something strange in it. Immediately asked, "What does this Zhao Chamber of Commerce mean?" What does it have to do with being a father? ”

"Simple. The chamber is a state-run chamber of commerce, but some officials are allowed to invest in the business, but they are self-financed and taxed. Shi Bin explained.

In Jia Rudao's view, this is a great thing, which means that it is okay to commit fraud in a blatant manner, but it is just a small tax, which is not even a drop in the bucket for income. At this time, Jia Yidao looked at Shi Bin and Jia Ling with grateful eyes.

However, his eyes only lasted for a short time, and immediately turned into doubts and a little sneer, "You two are so kind to get the Zhao Chamber of Commerce, is it really just to make money and fill the treasury?" Who are the members of this chamber? Tell me about it. ”

Secretly sighed that Jia seemed to be too powerful, and in a blink of an eye, he became suspicious, but fortunately, Shi Bin was prepared and replied calmly: "Father-in-law, the rank of these members is relatively high, and they are currently Wu Qian, Yu Jue, Zhao Kui, Zheng Qingzhi, you, and son-in-law." ”

Brushing his beards, Jia Rudao asked again, "It's true that they are all high-ranking officials, but it shouldn't affect the other officials under him to be included in our business, right?" And this Zhao Chamber of Commerce should not only be able to operate in the Great Song Dynasty, right? ”

Jia Yidao's words made Shi Bin still sweat slowly, in order not to appear to have a ghost in his heart, Shi Bin immediately said: "Yes, you can also do business with other neighbors." ”

looked at Shi Bin and Jia Ling with a smile, Jia Rudao didn't speak, picked up those mustaches again, suddenly slapped the coffee table, and shouted, "Shi Bin, Jia Ling, you couple are so bold!" Do you want to take this opportunity to go to Xixia again? ”

Shi Bin said 'frightened': "This, how is this possible, I am all Jingnan's pacification envoy, how dare I do these things so desperately?" At most, it is just news that the caravan went to Bazhong or Guangyuan. ”

After Jia Ling listened to Shi Bin's words, she was furious, "Shi Bin! What do you mean? What do you mean by 'going to Bazhong or Guangyuan and other news'? At that time, you dare to go to the Yuanren's lair with 500 cavalry, I don't believe you will really wait for news! Then he gave Shi Bin a five-tiger punch and beat him all over the house. ran away and scolded Shi Bin for having no conscience, and wanted to leave her and Sai Xishi as widows, so that Shi Yunpeng would have no father.

I thought that the play was almost done, but I didn't expect Jia Yidao to roar angrily, "Okay! Is it fun to sing a double reed like this? You can go if you want to! But you have to promise me a few conditions! ”

"Really?" Jia Ling, who was running, heard Shi Bin, who immediately stopped and turned around, collided and asked, "Father, you didn't lie to us?" ”

"If you really want to go, can I stop you?"

"Father-in-law, please say, please say the conditions, no matter what the conditions, we will definitely agree!" Shi Bin said with certainty.

"Yes, we agreed to whatever my father said!"

"Good. First, neither Shi Bin nor you can enter any Yuanren-controlled city other than Bazhong and Guangyuan! Second, don't get involved in any fighting! Third, I will send Erzhuang to follow you. Jia Rudao said in a non-negotiable tone.

These conditions are quite acceptable, in order not to anger Jia Yidao and make him really angry, Shi Bin and Jia Ling, the two loaches, immediately agreed to all three of his conditions, and came to a 'happy all'.

Shi Bin and Jia Ling only rested in Jia's Mansion for one day before leaving with Erzhuang, leaving Jia Yidao helplessly drinking tea in the study.
