In the middle of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of the new tea and cold skin, Cuiming Lou is sold in the season when diners have no appetite.

And during this time, Tang Zhou was not idle.

Now that new tea is popular in Chang'an City, there are not a few people who come to his house every day to ask for cooperation, tea is a profiteering industry, plus the ancients had good tea, so it is impossible for Tang Zhou not to let go of this opportunity to make money.

But how to do it, how to do it, must be exquisite.

Now the new tea is only available in Cuiminglou, and those who want to drink new tea can only go to Cuiminglou, so that the business of Cuiminglou is naturally good, but only selling tea is somewhat inferior, if even the tea can be sold together, but even the tea is also sold, it is bound to make the business of Cuiminglou decline.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Tang Zhou still decided to sell the tea and quickly occupy the market.

In fact, roasting tea is not a particularly complicated process, there is no shortage of smart people in Datang, if the previous tea merchants pondered, they might be able to fry new tea, not only that, they may have more tricks.

Therefore, in Tang Zhou's view, at least half a year, at most a year, many tea merchants will find out the secret of roasted tea, and at that time to sell tea, I am afraid that there will be no advantage.

In this case, it is better for him to occupy the market first, and if there is roasted tea in the market, he may be able to delay the development of new tea by other tea merchants.

After making such a decision, Tang Zhou ordered someone to buy a house around Cuiming Building, and built a roasted tea workshop under Song Xiaoyu's arrangement, which did not take much time.

After the workshop was built, Tang Zhou found some people he trusted very much and taught them how to roast tea, and when the workshop was closely roasting tea, Tang Zhou had already negotiated cooperation with the tea merchants in Chang'an City.

In fact, it is also simple, these tea merchants in Chang'an City want to sell new tea, they must buy from him Tang Zhou, the price is naturally not cheap, one or two cups more expensive than the previous tea, but the new tea is popular, even if these tea merchants buy it back at a high price, they can make a lot of money when they sell it.

What's more, new tea is not available in other places, and if these people take new tea to other places to sell, they can raise the price, so even if the price of Tang Zhou is much higher than before, it still attracts many businessmen to cooperate here.

Merchants are profit-seeking, and the Taoist Tang Zhou they think of also knows that the goods out of Chang'an City, whether it is in the Tang Dynasty or the countries of the Western Regions, these new teas are definitely the darlings, and if Tang Zhou does it, the profits will be quite rich.

It's just that Tang Zhou doesn't want to bother, he transports the tea to other places, and he wants to find a way to expand the market, and he also has to find people to open shops in different places, he Tang Zhou doesn't have so many people, and it is even more impossible to sell it to the countries of the Western Regions, there are so many winds and sand along the way, it's too dangerous, Tang Zhou doesn't want to take risks for that little profit.

Therefore, it is best to be the most original supplier in Chang'an City.

------------------------------------------

In the middle of summer, the cicadas are chirping.

Just when Tang Zhou took advantage of the new tea and cold skin to make a lot of money, in the court, a conspiracy came as scheduled.

In the early days of the day, because of the weather, most of the ministers were sweating, and even the emperor Li Shimin was sweating on his forehead, not only that, but he felt that his throat and eyes were dry even when he spoke.

So not long after the early dynasty began, the ministers were not very active in putting forward opinions or something, and Li Shimin didn't want to stay longer when he saw this, and was ready to ask another question and retreat.

"Everyone, Aiqing, do you still have to play?"

The ministers looked at each other, hating to retreat immediately, so they all shook their heads, but at this time, an official named Zhang Ji suddenly stood up and said: "Saint, the middle of the year is approaching, and the household inspection should also begin. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed time for the household inspection, but for him, the inspection in the middle of the year is not very important, and the most important thing is the one at the end of the year.

But the rules can't be abolished, since Zhang Ji has proposed it, let's start the check.

"Zhang Aiqing is reasonable, since this is the case, let the household department count the income and expenditure in the first half of this year."

Seeing this, Zhang Ji said: "This has been the case in previous years, but the minister thinks that the household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, and it should be more strict, so the minister proposed that the prince, the king of Wei and the king of Wu should check the contract. ”

Zhang Ji is just an official of the Imperial History Tower, at this time suddenly proposed to check the household department by the three princes, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, the Tang Dynasty has been open for so many years, and the household department has never had any problems, and the annual inventory of the imperial court has also risen year after year.

Or maybe it's what the prince wants to do.

But Zhang Ji brought up several capable princes in the court, and it was really unpredictable which prince he was.

The courtiers looked at each other and didn't dare to speak for a while, but Li Shimin frowned slightly, secretly thinking that something really happened to the household department?

Although Li Shimin also felt that this might be the conspiracy of the prince, no matter what the conspiracy was, if something really went wrong with the household, he couldn't turn a blind eye.

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin set his eyes on the three princes, the crown prince, the king of Wei and the king of Wu, and asked, "What do you three think?" ”

The crown prince Li Chengqian said: "The household department is very important to my Datang, and it is normal for the inspection to be stricter, and the sons agree to it." ”

Li Tai, the king of Wei, muttered in his heart, that Zheng Wall of the Household Department was his person, and investigating the Household Department was not investigating Zheng Wall, but if he did not agree, it would be easier for people to be suspicious, so after the crown prince Li Chengqian finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up and seconded it.

Now that the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai are in favor, there is no reason for Li Ke, the king of Wu, to oppose it.

After the three princes finished saying this, Li Shimin nodded: "Okay, then the three of you will be responsible for the inspection, and the Yushitai will send a few more people to supervise, if anyone makes trouble from it, I will not spare it." ”

After saying this, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers, and saw that no one was playing, so he waved his hand slightly and announced his retreat.

After retiring from the court, the weather was still hot, after the ministers left the palace, they were not in a hurry to go their separate ways, but chatted in twos and threes, and the question raised by Zhang Ji today was really strange to them, and for some old foxes who were more sensitive to the wind and rain in the court, such as the eldest grandson Wuji and others, they were faintly aware of the smell of danger.

I'm afraid that above this court, the sky will change.

Having guessed this, they could no longer drink and walk around the kiln as usual, they had to be cautious, and even needed to figure out whose conspiracy it was.
