The patriarch of the Cui clan, Cui Junsu's father, and Cui Yingying's grandfather. When he came to the Qin Palace, he did not represent the Qinghe Cui family, but the Seventh Family, who came to ask for a dowry.

The patriarch of the Longyou Li clan expressed his attitude before he came, and the dowry prepared now was only more than 20,000 yuan, but the follow-up preparation was 100,000 yuan. As long as His Royal Highness King Qin can give it, they can afford it.

Boling Cui even said that there was no cap.

Deals, since they are political marriages, there must be deals. The sincerity of the Seventh Family is enough, and it was not until two days before the enlistment that they came to talk about the dowry, even if Qin Wangzhuang did not have a penny, the base of the Seventh Family's bride price was already placed there, and it would only be more, not less.

In Li Yuanxing's small living room, Li Yuanxing ordered someone to prepare a sea of root carved tea.

It is said to be a small living room, if calculated according to the area of later modern times, there are also close to 200 square meters, and there are four small rooms such as changing clothes and resting. The area of the main hall is divided into several areas, some with a large round table for eating, some for tea, and one is in the style of a small study, as well as a waiting area for distinguished guests outside.

Speaking of the assembly room, if I had to describe it, it was the auditorium.

The area of the hall is more than three acres of land.

Sitting down face-to-face, Li Yuanxing took out a box of Wuyishan black tea from later generations, which can be regarded as the peak variety of Jin Junmei. I got it from the cabinet master, I don't know if it was the filial piety of the young junior.

"Fujian Wuyi Mountain is the pinnacle again!" Li Yuanxing personally made tea with warm water.

The patriarch of the Cui clan stood up and saluted: "It is an honor to be able to drink the tea of His Royal Highness!" ”

Li Yuanxing waited for the water to boil. While taking out a few pieces of paper equivalent to the size of A2 in later generations from under the table and placing them on the table: "Originally, this object was intended to be shown to the two shopkeepers in charge of the study, and Cui Lao came to see it." This thing is not very profitable, but it is like a sharp blade, this king and Cui Lao don't say those words that go around in circles, this thing only authorizes three! ”

What did Li Yuanxing come up with?

It's two newspapers! One is in the way of commercial newspapers in later generations, and the front page is naturally those major news in Chang'an City, and the first news on this opening page is the case of Li Youliang, the king of Changle, and there is an article written by the director of the Criminal Department, as well as a copy of Li Daozong's seal, which is the one that the official forced the people to rebel.

Because Datang's paper and printing technology cannot achieve the effect of two-sided printing. So the newspaper is all one-sided. The accompanying drawings are also very simple. The five words on the top of the newspaper, Chang'an News, are from Yu Shinan's handwriting.

The second edition is some news in Chang'an City, the wedding of King Qin. Naturally, it was the headline of the second page.

Cui Changshi has an article on it. There is also a congratulatory message from the eldest grandson queen in the palace. and a praise from Du Ruhui! In this page, the most surprising thing for the patriarch of the Cui clan was the congratulations of the Bashu Silk Chamber of Commerce. King Qin's wedding dress is a small square provided by the Bashu Silk Chamber of Commerce.

The next edition is some interesting anecdotes about the market, the market is on fire, and the street is crowded because a certain store has a new product. Or is it that a good person has done a good deed or something like that.

On this version, the small square that surprised the patriarch of the Cui clan became four.

The opening notice of two restaurants, and the other is the agent number of Chang'an Qinwang Liquor, OEM Liquor Workshop. Zuihou one, but it is a gold shop in Chang'an that played the slogan of the store, full of real gold, the latest style of very obvious propaganda with small squares.

Flipping down further, it is a short interesting story of the parents in Chang'an City, especially the Qinwangzhuang tea party, which occupies almost half of the page.

Naturally, there is a story serialized in this edition, and the content of the serial is the masterpiece "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that has been circulated in the Tang Palace, but it is strictly forbidden to be spread outside.

Another page, there are anecdotes, and then the number of small squares is almost half.

"This newspaper is extremely interesting!" After the patriarch of the Cui clan quickly flipped through it, he was ready to start reading it from the beginning, especially those few articles, which were really talented.

Li Yuanxing poured tea for the patriarch of the Cui clan: "Please! ”

"Good tea!" The patriarch of the Cui clan only took a sip, and then praised loudly: "This tea enters the throat with a sip of sweetness, the taste is fresh and sweet, the mountain rhyme is obvious, the throat rhyme is long, and the spleen is refreshing, as if people are in the forest and valley, and the real fairy tea is also!" ”

"Cui Lao praised! This tea making method, I believe that within three years the tea merchants can be proficient, tea trees are not easy, tea is even more difficult! ”

"This kind of immortal tea, how can you be idle!" The Cui clan patriarch smiled and drank another glass.

When Li Yuanxing brewed again, he pointed to another one: "The other one is for the government." Naturally, it is to speak for the Tang Dynasty, and there are two more copies that can be run by the people, talk about all the things in the world, and read all the articles in the world. This newspaper starts from six sheets, 30,000 copies are printed, and the cost of silk screen printing is only three wen, plus the cost of polishing the pen, the cost of one copy is only five wen. ”

This price is already extremely low, and the patriarch of the Cui clan is not the kind of person who does not eat fireworks in the world, and he understands the market price.

Li Yuanxing said: "One sells three articles, the seller can get one article, and the newspaper can get two articles." 30,000 copies can get a net profit of about 30 yuan, and the larger the circulation in the future, the greater the profit. ”

The patriarch of the Cui clan said in his heart that His Royal Highness the King of Qin must have miscalculated, this income is lower than the cost, how to make money.

But on second thought, is it possible that His Royal Highness King Qin has miscalculated?

"Please give me advice, Your Highness!"

"I don't dare to teach." Li Yuanxing pointed to the piece of the Bashu Silk Chamber of Commerce: "This small piece, the Bashu Silk Chamber of Commerce will cover the whole year, and it will be issued ten copies per month and 300,000 copies per month. He contributed 3,000 yuan! If there are 100,000 copies per issue, he will publish 10,000 per year, which is called Guanger's announcement! ”

The patriarch of the Cui clan immediately calculated in his heart, which was equivalent to the Bashu Silk Chamber of Commerce paying out a penny for ten months, and the newspaper sent him for two months. Since the Bashu Chamber of Commerce has it, then other small squares will also have it. If the design is reasonable, this alone will make money even if the newspaper is given away for free.

Only Chang'an City, if you add Luoyang, as well as surrounding states and counties, based on the calculation of the first phase of three days, each issue is at least 100,000 copies.

What a huge profit.

"What a wide announcement! His Royal Highness King Qin is really smart. "The patriarch of the Cui clan naturally knows that the world is full of people. This newspaper is well used. It can guide the world's soldiers. Therefore, Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin, mentioned at the beginning that there was also an official one, which was naturally to speak for the imperial court.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it.

"The Cui and Lu families were originally grateful to His Royal Highness for the study, and with this thing, our Cui family's dowry seems to be light!" The patriarch of the Cui clan is telling the truth, it was originally the idea of trading, and it is not interesting for him to gossip in circles with people like Li Yuanxing, it is better to say it directly.

"It's all a family, it's too clear. It's outward. But. There is a little thing, please help me! ”

The patriarch of the Cui clan was only slightly stunned for a moment, and immediately understood: "If His Highness thinks that the Buddhism around Chang'an is too rampant, the old man will also look at them a little unpleasantly!" ”

"That's the time. Please help this king! ”

That's it. There is no need to go on.

Buddhism can be said to be the common enemy of Li Yuanxing and the Seventh Family. Buddhism has hurt the interests of the family, so it must be suppressed. Even if Li Yuanxing doesn't make a move, when the contradiction reaches a limit. The Maison will also take action. It's just that the family is also the liliang of the imperial court.

At this time, the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty will take action, and if the family helps again, the effect will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.

Li Yuanxing poured tea again: "The matter of tea, this king means." The head of the Seventh Family should not participate, no matter how many tea chambers there are, they must make a unified rule. ”

"Everything has its own rules!"

Li Yuanxing said again: "This is the interest of Datang, not the interests of a certain family. Further down to the small level, tea farmers grow tea, tea merchants must not force to buy and sell, say benevolence, generosity is benevolence, tea farmers eat enough, will have the heart to grow good tea. Speaking of profit, when tea farmers see the real profit, there will be peak good tea, otherwise there are only those ordinary tea leaves that do not enter the stream. ”

"Your Highness Takami!" The patriarch of the Cui clan agreed with Li Yuanxing's words.

Saying benevolence, wisdom, and benefit, who dares to say that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty does not understand profit!

"In May next year, this king is going to hold another tea party and invite celebrities from all over the world to fight tea!"

"Fight! Good! The Cui clan elder responded with a loud voice.

This bucket is a bucket of tea quality for tea merchants.

For Baume & Mercier, the fight is etiquette, morality, Taoism, and realm!

In addition to them, there is now a new industry added to the tea industry, that is, tea ware. Whether it is pottery, porcelain, bamboo, wood, stone. In addition to utensils of various materials, there will naturally be sculptures, paintings and other fine products.

Jin Junmei is twelve brews, and the tea is tasteless.

The Cui clan patriarch asked himself to choose a tea to taste again here with His Royal Highness King Qin, such a request was indeed a way to bring the relationship between the two sides closer, and Li Yuanxing was also willing to ask the Cui clan patriarch to choose by himself.

When the patriarch of the Cui clan went to choose tea, Li Yuanxing also went to the bookshelf and brought a wooden box over.

"This tea is famous as Shuiyue tea, and the old man has read the article of Cui Changshi of the Qin Palace, and he has a very high opinion of this tea!"

Shuiyue tea is the Biluochun of later generations, which belongs to the category of green tea. Li Yuanxing took two glass tall cups and put them on the table, and the patriarch of the Cui clan praised: "The tea is good, the tea ware is really a crystal cup, the ultimate good!" ”

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "In the first issue of the study, an article was added. This kind of object, this king will teach the method of production, this thing is cheap, but the process is more complicated. To put it simply, it is made of special stones, and within three years, after the craftsmen have mastered their skills, this thing is not as valuable as fine porcelain. ”

"Okay, Hugh wants to let the merchants of the Western Regions cheat the Datang Dynasty again!"

The patriarch of the Cui clan also has some big ethnic theories, and he can compete for the silver of foreign countries, but he cannot let foreign countries compete for a large amount of silver from the Tang Dynasty.

"What Cui Lao said is that such a cup is the ultimate in craftsmanship. But it is only the value of ten buckets of rice, so the value of this thing must be suppressed, otherwise such a cup will be exchanged for ten high-quality silk horses of my Datang Dynasty, which is naturally very unreasonable! ”

"Unreasonable!"

"Cui Lao looks at this thing again, the raw materials of this thing are planned to be in charge of the Li family in Longxi!" Li Yuanxing opened the wooden box. (To be continued......)

PS: The second update.

Tonight, there will still be additions.

The plot officially began, and the countdown to the wedding of His Royal Highness King Qin began.

To tell the truth, the author and I are full of black lines, and I am entangled in spending the night there for the first night after His Royal Highness King Qin's wedding.
