"Remember, this batch of white wooden boxes is defective, each box costs two taels, and this batch of brocade boxes is genuine, each box costs five taels, as for these ten exquisite carvings, each box is worth five hundred Wen, the tea inside are personally selected by me, and I have also tried, it is not a problem to sell a fifteen taels, you take a box back to taste, taste the difference, it is best to go to the tea house to see, you have to try it yourself before the tea packaging, and it is good to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, only in this way, I can put down Gusu."

After Dong Ce and Meng Feng finished talking carefully, Meng Feng was already impatient to make tea himself.

Now he has already mastered the tea-making skills of the new tea set, but he doesn't know whether the tea is good or bad, after all, he has been drinking Dong Ce's inventory, and he also wants to know how big the difference between the quality of this tea is.

Everything has a step-by-step process, Meng Feng believes that the advantages and disadvantages of tea tasting should be a little difficult, but after a product, he immediately noticed that there was a problem, and couldn't help asking: "Why is there such a big gap between the product and the genuine product this time?" And this genuine product is similar to the one you used to brew, so the best won't be better, right? ”

"It's not much better, it's just a psychological effect, first from the packaging to give people a sense of gap, people subconsciously think, must be good in the box of tea taste better, in fact, it is true, but the gap is not as big as imagined, however, the perception of defective and genuine products is indeed very large, after all, there is a big gap in raw materials, the defective green leaves are selected to fry the leftovers, the taste is naturally inferior to the genuine product, and the best is just those apprentices occasionally fried masterpieces, in fact, this is the real genuine product!"

When Meng Feng heard this, he was curious: "What about the best?" ”

"It's really the best, and it starts with choosing Aoba, but it's a waste to get these now. And the best at the moment, mainly on the box. If the box is well sealed, the taste of the tea can be preserved. It may not be much different now, but in a few months, it will be a world of difference! ”

"I see, no wonder you are willing to spend five hundred wen to make such a delicate box." Meng Feng picked up a beautifully carved box and looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said: "Since the tea leaves inside have been brewed, this box can also contain some precious jewelry, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”

After Dong Ce took a sip of the tea made by Meng Feng, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sell as little as possible the best Yuhua." It's better to let people know about it and not sell it, and then give it away. ”

"Understood!" Meng Feng naturally knew Dong Ce's intentions, although selling the best Yuhua could make more money, but the quantity must be scarce, and now they are not short of this money at all, but it is different to give it away, it can definitely bring them more benefits!

However, all of this will only work after the Yuhua tea is sold, otherwise you will send a box of the best Yuhua now. People still think that you are sending the box, as for the leaf slag in the box, it is naturally poured out directly.

After Meng Feng said the instructions of the tea house in detail, Dong Ce prepared to leave for Gusu tomorrow.

But before he could clean it up. Suddenly, Zhu Dashan hurriedly walked over and reported to him: "Sect Master." The government came. ”

"Huh?" Dong Ce frowned and thought for a moment. As if he knew something, he got up and left the attic. When I arrived at the teahouse, I saw a somewhat familiar servant, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, the servant said: "Dong Yilang, the lord of the government invites you to go to the government immediately, saying that the envoy from the capital has arrived." ”

"Sure enough!" Dong Ce said secretly in his heart, so he left the art garden with the officials, and rode the donkey Chilu sent by Fang Shuwei to the palace.

When Dong Ce came to a side hall of the mansion, he saw that there were many people inside, all of whom were Jinling Mansion Speakers, among whom there were many old acquaintances, and several of them were members of the Chamber of Commerce, including Weng Jian, who was cheated by him, In addition, there were also many regular customers of the art garden, and even Dong Ziquan, who had not been seen for a long time, was also at the banquet.

However, when this guy saw Dong Ce, he immediately snorted coldly, turned his head with disdain, and no longer looked here.

Seeing that they were all holding feather fans, Dong Ce remembered the thirteen feathers that he didn't know what he threw into that feather fan.

This kind of feather fan is not the feather fan of Zhuge Kongming, Kong Ming's fan can fan the wind, and secondly, it can also block the change of expression, and these feather fans are just the size of a palm, which is just a symbol, and he is naturally too lazy to carry it on his body.

"Dong Yilang!" Many people got up to greet Dong Ce.

"You're welcome." After Dong Ce exchanged pleasantries with these people, he was about to look for an empty seat, when the chief secretary of the government suddenly stepped forward and explained to him: "Dong Yilang's seat is the first seat on the left hand. ”

"Thank you." Dong Ce bowed his hand politely to the main bookkeeper and walked to the seat.

When Dong Ce entered the table, he was just sitting down, and suddenly a few people walked in outside the door, led by Qin Qi and a handsome man in civilian clothes and about thirty years old.

There was no way, Dong Ce could only hurriedly get up with everyone and salute the two of them.

Qin Qi smiled and introduced to everyone: "Hehe, let me introduce to you, this is the envoy 'Ren Gengji' Ren Duzhi sent by the Holy Lord to our Jiangnan to inspect prices. ”

"Meet Ren Duzhi!" The crowd saluted again.

"You're welcome." After Ren Gengji finished speaking, Qin Qi said: "Ren Duzhi, please!" ”

"Qin Mansion Order, please!" The two exchanged pleasantries, and then walked to the upper wooden couch and knelt down.

"This time, Ren was ordered by the emperor to go to Jiangnan, although it was to inspect the price situation, but at the same time, I also hope that everyone here can think of a way to reduce the price back to the situation before the year." Ren Gengji can be said to be straight to the point, and one sentence makes everyone in the work depressed.

The price increase started in Jinling, which was originally very well controlled, but as a result, Dong Ce single-handedly added fuel to the fire, which led to the spread, and now it has risen almost all over the country.

Among them, the union of Ningzhou merchants played a decisive role, because if they did not resell in other places, it would not be possible to bring out the wind of price increases, on the contrary, it would make foreign businessmen see the rise in prices in Ningzhou, and sell the goods in a hurry, so as to make a lot of money, and in this way, the price increase in Ningzhou will also be stifled and cradled.

But how could Dong Ce not know this, so he fanned the businessmen to speculate on prices, resulting in the misery of the people everywhere!

But what does it matter to them? They are businessmen, their vocation is to make money, obviously rich do not make bastards, and Ren Gengji's words are undoubtedly to let them sell the goods in their hands cheaply, this is not to be a king, but to become a dead king!

For a while, most of the government councillors set their eyes on Dong Ce in the first seat on his left hand!

"What are you looking at me for?" Dong Ce rolled his eyes in his heart, how could he be regarded as helping these people make money, and now that he is in trouble, why won't he carry it together?

"Uh......" Dong Ce's upper body turned slightly to Ren Gengji, and after bowing his hand, he said: "Ren Duzhi must be very clear, after the price rises, if there is no large number of cheap goods to sell, it is impossible to bring down the price at all, and we simply do not have enough goods in our hands, this matter, I am afraid that the people of the whole house will implement it together, it will be possible, why didn't Ren Duzhi ask the Holy Edict and order the merchants to lower the prices?" In this way, we are good to do! (To be continued.) )
