"In that case, let's talk about the price, Your Highness the Prince!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhang Twelve said to the prince with a clear eye.

"Good, good, good! General Zhang just said it! ”

The prince has already accepted his fate, and he knows that he is afraid that he will not be able to buy it without money today, so he is much more indifferent......

"According to our inventory of "smelling incense", Xia Guan can sell five hundred catties of spirits to His Highness! ”

"Five hundred pounds? So how do you fill a car? ”

This common sense prince still has, if it is filled with a cart of spirits, how can there be a thousand catties, even if it is not full, ** a hundred catties are always there, five hundred catties? That's only half a car!

What kind of fame is this Zhang Yi doing, he has already said that he bought it, and he is still embarrassing himself, can he really be bullied?

"Hehe, the prince doesn't know - although the stock of spirits from this smell is a thousand catties, we have to keep some more! Because the palace has recently sent fewer spirits, if I give all the spirits to His Highness, then there will be no spirits to sell, the source of customers will definitely drop sharply, the turnover will definitely drop, and the silver given to Emperor Tang will also decrease, if Emperor Tang asks......"

Zhang Twelve's words are true and false, there are a lot of stocks of spirits that "smell the fragrance", but because the new restaurant is going to open, the amount used in the future will definitely increase, and he has to save more in advance.

And speaking of which, the amount of the restaurant's turnover has nothing to do with the silver given to Emperor Tang, because at that time, he only promised to give Emperor Tang the money from selling spirits, but the prince didn't know, so he was always able to!

The most important thing is that he concluded that the crown prince would definitely not dare to ask Emperor Tang, isn't that looking for training?

"Hey, even if it's five hundred catties, it's the lower officials who can't bear to cut their love in their friendship with the prince, if it's an ordinary person, it's not a catty! Because if there is less liquor, the turnover of the restaurant will be less, and the turnover will be less, and the Tang Emperor will give it to Emperor Tang——"

"Five hundred pounds is five hundred pounds!"

The prince hurriedly interrupted Zhang Twelve's "miserable", he doesn't believe a word about Zhang Twelve's words now, what is a friendship with me, we have a fart friendship!

"Good! Xia Guan likes to do business with someone as cheerful as the prince! My brain is not very useful, come, help me calculate, a pound of liquor is twenty taels, how much silver does this five hundred catties need? ”

"Back to Zhang Gongzi, you need 10,000 taels of silver!"

As soon as Zhang Twelve's words fell, the thoughtful results came out, and Zhang Twelve nodded at him with satisfaction, this kid has a very flexible head - second only to himself!

Zhou Quan saw Zhang Twelve's encouraging eyes, and his face was happy, but the prince was not in a good mood with the two of them, not only was he in a bad mood, but his face was pale!

"How much? Ten thousand taels? ”

The prince asked incredulously.

"Oh, thoughtful, did you miscalculate? You count it again for His Royal Highness the Prince, if you dare to charge more money from His Royal Highness, let alone His Highness, I will not be able to spare you! ”

As he spoke, he winked at Zhou Quan covertly.

Zhou Quanxin understood, and then he didn't panic, and said with words: "This catty of spirits is twenty taels, five catties is one hundred taels, five hundred catties - naturally it is ten thousand taels, Zhang Gongzi, it won't be wrong!" ”

Zhang Twelve shook his head and muttered for a while, then patted his head and said, "Hey, look at my stupid brain, this silver can't be counted after a hundred taels - or, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will calculate it himself?" ”

The prince doesn't need to count anymore, the reason why he was surprised was because he heard such a huge number of "10,000 taels", and now he heard the price of 20 taels per catty, how could he not understand the reason?

"Zhang Yi, don't bluff this king, this king has come to smell the fragrance before, and the liquor at that time was only ten taels of silver a catty, why did it double when you came to this king, could it be that you want to blackmail this king?"

"Forehead ......"

Zhang Twelve was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect the prince to be "knowledgeable", haha, a little embarrassed......

But how can such a small problem stump our big fool Zhang Twelve?

I saw that his eyes rolled, and he immediately thought about it, and said with a smile: "Hey, didn't the lower official tell His Highness just now, this liquor is just a means used by our restaurant to attract customers, and the liquor is indeed only sold for ten taels in the restaurant, but the people who come here to drink the spirits spend far more than ten taels!" And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only buys spirits but does not eat and drink here, so naturally this price cannot be compared to when eating in the restaurant......"

After saying this, Zhang Twelve admired himself a little: I am a talent when I step on a horse, and such a "reasonable" explanation can be come up with, cowhide cowhide!

Hehe, I'm going to slander you today, and besides, I didn't discuss it!

Although the prince hated Zhang Twelve very much, why did he still think that what he said was very reasonable?

But just because it makes sense doesn't mean he agrees!

Ten thousand taels, that's not a hundred, and his silver is not blown by a strong wind......

"Anyway, the price of these twenty taels is too expensive!"

The prince whispered.

"Hey, this business is really hard! Twenty taels is actually reluctant to go down to the officials, if it is sold in a restaurant, how can a pound of spirits bring back the income for the restaurant to be twenty taels? ”

Zhang Twelve continued to "lay out the facts and reason" for the prince, but where did the poor prince listen, five thousand taels could make him feel pain for a long time, not to mention ten thousand taels, it was the same as killing him!

"Anyway, the price of twenty taels and one pound is too expensive!"

The prince continued to repeat this sentence, because it represented his heart: labor and management are also short of money......

Damn, are you still messing around with labor and management?

How can it be!

Zhang Twelve thought for a while, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this price is not accurate to the officials, and I don't know whether the price is high or low, otherwise, let me enter the palace and ask Your Majesty, after all, the silver earned is also taken by the saint, I think if the saint knows that His Royal Highness wants to buy spirits, it is not impossible to give it away for nothing, are you right, Your Highness?" ”

Right...... You ghost!

The crown prince was not stupid enough to let Emperor Tang know about this, if he asked why he wanted a cart of spirits, how would he reply? Said to give it to the three princes of Wu State? Emperor Tang wanted to ask again why he gave it to the three princes of Wu? Say that in order to enhance the friendship between the two countries?

Emperor Tang can't kick him to death?

Emperor Tang's attitude towards Wu is obvious to all, if he is waiting to see the three princes of Wu, how can he let him set up a banquet to invite the three princes of Wu, but he himself does not come forward?

The answer is obvious!

Therefore, Emperor Tang couldn't know about this matter no matter what......

Seeing the prince there in a daze, Zhang Twelve snickered in his heart, he had already guessed what the prince was thinking, and he didn't forget to add fuel and vinegar to continue to ask: "If the prince agrees, the lower official will enter the palace to face the saint?" ”

Hearing Zhang Twelve's words of "entering the palace to face the saint", the prince immediately woke up and said, "Don't! This king buys! Buy! ”

The last word "buy", the prince almost roared, which shows how painful the prince spent this ten thousand taels of silver......

"Okay, it's better for Your Highness to be refreshed! Thoughtful, he ordered someone to go to the wine cellar to get five hundred catties of spirits and put them in the carriage of His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

"Yes, Zhang Gongzi!"

Zhou Quan heard Zhang Twelve's words, agreed, and left with a smile.

In the Tang Dynasty, neither the emperor nor the prince had any salary, and the money in the treasury was managed by the Ministry of Households, which was mainly used for various affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Emperor and the royal family could not use it at will, but after the annual tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty was paid into the treasury, the household department would allocate it to the Tang Emperor in proportion to the private use of the royal family.

This can also explain why Emperor Tang was interested in doing business with Zhang Twelve at the beginning, and Zhang Twelve was still thinking about you, as an emperor, are you still short of money to spend?

Later, I learned that no matter how much money there was in the treasury, it was not Emperor Tang's, but the money earned from doing business with Zhang Twelve was really his......

The prince is still a little unaccustomed to the fact that he spent 10,000 taels of silver in an instant, and the prince does not have his own property, and the silver spent on weekdays is allocated by Emperor Tang every month, and the amount is not much, but since he moved into the East Palace, there are many people who come to visit on weekdays, and everyone will definitely not come empty-handed, right?

Therefore, the prince also has some private money, about more than 10,000 taels - but that is what he has worked hard to save for several years......

So the 10,000 taels of silver flew away without even making a sound, how could he not feel distressed, especially in the place where the money was spent, cheapened by two people he hated!

Thinking of this, the prince's heart hurt even more......

…………

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this 10,000 taels of silver ......"

Zhang Twelve said with a smile next to him, how cheap he looked-of course, this was the prince's idea.

"Since this king promised you 10,000 taels of silver, it will naturally be 10,000 taels of silver, why, are you still worried that this king will not be able to rely on you?"

The prince said angrily, this person is annoying, and he is forced so tight......

"Of course I'm not worried—"

That's weird!

If you give this money now, you will give it in a year, and you will give it in ten years, so can it be the same? No, you have to rush him!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like this, if all this money goes into the pockets of the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely not be in such a hurry to ask His Royal Highness! But this money must be handed over to the Holy Lord—the lower officials are worried that if the silver cannot be collected for a while, and His Majesty asks, then it will ......"

Zhang Twelve found out, this Tang Emperor is now a killer, move him out, and the prince will be scared not to want it.

Sure enough, when he heard that he was going to tell Emperor Tang, the prince immediately became honest and said to the person next to him: "Hurry back to the East Palace and come over with 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

"But, Your Highness......"

That person is the prince's personal guard, and he knows everything about the East Palace, and he also knows that the East Palace is now full of a little more than 10,000 taels of silver, if he takes out 10,000 taels at once, then what to eat and drink this month, and what to do with so many people's monthly money?

"But what is it? Hurry up and get it! If it's too late, this king will ask you! ”

The mood is already bad, and the guards are still there without long eyes, how can the prince not be angry?

The guard was also helpless for a while, knowing that it was useless to talk more, so he went out directly from the door and went back to the East Palace to get the money......

…………

Zhang Twelve looked at the prince with a happy face, and enthusiastically came up to pour water and tea for the prince, because in his eyes, this prince is a big money bag, and he is stupid......

But the prince obviously didn't want to drink the tea that Zhang Twelve poured for him, he only wanted to give him the money quickly, and then quickly leave this place with the wine......

The guard came back after a while, with a few silver tickets, Zhang Twelve counted it and counted it was only more than nine thousand taels, just wanted to ask, and saw that the guard took out some cash from a small wooden box, and gave it to Zhang Twelve, just 10,000 taels.

When the wooden box was opened, Zhang Twelve glanced in and found that there were still some gold and silver jewelry inside, but the quantity was not very large, it seemed that the landlord's family had no surplus grain!

The money Zhang Twelve received, and five hundred catties of liquor were also loaded into the carriage, the prince didn't even want to say anything to Zhang Twelve, and went out directly into the carriage, and Zhang Twelve also shouted outside attentively: "The prince walks slowly!" In the future, I often come to smell the fragrance and sit, and the spirits here are very good! ”

I don't know if the prince heard his words, anyway, the carriage ran away at once, and it ran so fast that Zhang Twelve sighed when he saw it......

And those soldiers of the East Palace were also very aggrieved, and they were stopped by a group of juniors when they wanted to forcibly move the spirits, and then they were frightened by a gold medal when they wanted to arrest Zhang Twelve......

Bad luck and bad fate, a group of personal soldiers killed from the East Palace to "smell the fragrance", and rushed back to the East Palace from the "smelling the fragrance" with a disgraced face and a depressed face, and the depressed expression on their faces almost told others that they had lost the battle......

Because when the prince walked out from "smelling the fragrance", those pro-soldiers put martial law outside the door, and the people who had watched the excitement before were driven aside, so few people heard what Zhang Twelve said to the prince, and when those pro-soldiers left, this group of people who loved to watch the excitement all surrounded them......

Zhang Twelve looked at this posture, good guy, there are a lot of people!

With a roll of his eyes, there are so many people, it's a waste not to take advantage of it!

The corners of his mouth grinned, and he said a few words in Zhou Quan's ear, and the more Zhou Quan listened, the brighter his eyes became, and finally asked again: "Zhang Gongzi...... Is this really okay? If the prince had known, would he have ......?"

"Don't worry, if something happens, I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing Zhang Twelve say this, Zhou Quan's courage increased, today he has seen Zhang Twelve's strength, holding the gold medal and scolding the prince, and the prince is speechless and obedient.

So when he was in the house, he secretly decided that he had to hold Zhang Twelve's thigh tightly, and the future would be over, so Zhang Twelve asked him to do it, and he did it!

After Zhang Twelve finished talking to him, he went into "smelling the fragrance", he was the behind-the-scenes boss of the restaurant, except for some powerful people who knew about it, ordinary people didn't know, and he didn't plan to let people know, so he quickly avoided suspicion......

Seeing that there were more and more people, Zhou Quan cleared his throat and shouted: "Fellow villagers, those who have passed by and passed by, don't miss it!" You may have eaten the fragrant dishes, but how many of you have drunk the liquor that the prince said was good?
