Chapter 498: The Royal Second Pot Head
Lin Zifan pondered, what he was thinking about some time ago, it's time to put it on the table!
The tap water and sewers in Chang'an City have been completed, but other cities need to be gradually implemented after the beginning of spring, because the weather is too cold after winter, and in the same way, the progress of asphalt road paving has almost stopped.
In winter, even if the blizzard does not stop, the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, or even lower, is extremely uncomfortable!
What's more, under this low temperature, the soil has become extremely hard, even the strength of Datang women is not weak, and it is half the effort to pave asphalt roads in this winter.
Therefore, it is better to wait until after the beginning of spring to do these things......
With the completion of the water pipeline in Chang'an, every household is willing to pay, which directly leads to the fact that the department finally began to have its own source of income.
At the same time, the Datang treasury also has an extra part of the income, of course, it is only a Chang'an City, this income is not much, but for the Tang Dynasty, which was poor before, and one or two pieces of silver had to be broken into two petals......
It has always been only spent from the treasury, when have you ever seen the treasury earn money in addition to collecting taxes?
Earn it now!
After Li Shangshu of the household department learned the news, he was so grateful that he almost cried!
In winter, the weather is cold, and the snow covers the mountains, which means that the end of the year is approaching!
Fortunately, the weather at this time is not too bad, and the strength can be seen a little, and it can still run around, but it will not be frozen into ice.
In this case, the mountain people can't go back to the deep mountains and old forests to look for food, but fortunately, Lin Zifan has taken a few measures to keep them from running out of food this winter, and the only thing they need to worry about is the beginning of spring next year......
Of course, they didn't know that the people who came from various countries to exchange for wine and drink with a large amount of grain were already on the way, and it wouldn't take long to reach Chang'an and become the 'destined person' of Lin Zifan and even the entire Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, the royal second pot head also began to be listed in Chang'an......
Well, that's right, Lin Zifan's wine, but it is also opened with the empress, and Lin Zifan must be 'married' to the empress sooner or later, his name is the royal second pot, and there is nothing wrong with it!
Moreover, isn't the word royal extraordinarily compelling?
The people of Datang are relatively strong and have a more straightforward personality.
If people from other countries are more like people in the court, then the women of the Tang Dynasty are more like women in the rivers and lakes!
Bold, atmospheric, informal, and more bold in drinking!
Before this, the crescent moon wine or something, in Datang was almost hyped to the sky, the price was scary, but there were still many Datang women, who were frugal for a long time, just to take a sip!
But the listing of the royal second pot head reversed the situation in an instant!
In front of the second pot head, the crescent moon wine is a fart! Not even half of it is better!
The mellow aroma of sorghum wine is enough to completely kill the first-class wine of many original workers such as Crescent Moon Wine, and completely press it on the ground and rub it on the ground!
The main thing is that it's cheap!
The people of the Tang Dynasty bought one or two silver and one jar, and one jar of ten catties!
Although one or two pieces of silver is not a lot, compared to the crescent moon wine, it is completely the price of cabbage, right? Not to mention the better texture and taste?
Yes, in just a few days after it was launched, the royal second pot head sold like crazy!
Even, those big businessmen abroad have fallen in love with the royal second pot head, and they have to drink a few cups every day to feel refreshed enough!
Especially in this cold winter, isn't drinking two sips of spirits and warming from head to toe a great joy in life?
However, the problem is that the people who sell it to the Tang Dynasty only need one or two silver royal two pot heads, and sell it to foreigners?
It's too expensive, don't buy it, don't buy it, pull it down!
The royal business is not on credit, and there are even Praetorian Guards guarding it, who dares to make trouble?
In fact, even if it is a thousand taels of silver, it is not as expensive as the Xinyue wine sold in Datang before, after all, a thousand taels of silver is ten catties and two pots, and it is only one hundred taels of silver......
So those foreign businessmen don't care about the price, after all, they consume, but the problem is ...... The people of the Tang Dynasty only need one tael of silver, but they have to pay a thousand taels, which will inevitably be very unbalanced in their hearts!
However, imbalance does not serve any purpose!
Lin Zifan and the empress don't care at all, and many people in Chang'an don't care at all, they don't care if you die?
Even, they wish that the foreign businessman's heart was unbalanced, and it was best to be angry directly...... After they die, their family property can be confiscated directly......
However, there are also many foreign businessmen who are more resourceful......
You sell it to me for 1,000 taels? No problem, I'll pay 100 taels and buy it from the people of Datang, there's nothing wrong with it, right?
When Lin Zifan knew that someone was a scalper, he almost laughed out loud......
And these scalpers are not stupid, a hundred taels? Not for sale! At least five hundred taels!
"It's all talents!" Lin Zifan couldn't help but sigh: "The heart is so black, it's definitely not an ordinary person, I'm afraid it's not an adult's subordinate, right?"
Lin Zifan was touched and was happy: "To be so witty, and so bottomless, except for that cheap godsister, there seems to be no one else!"
Without much thought, Lin Zifan guessed that those scalpers were most likely Li Shangshu's subordinates......
After all, the people of Datang are born honest, and almost all of them reject foreigners, especially those foreign profiteers!
At the same time, the people of the Tang Dynasty are still very backbone, let them go as those profiteers want, I'm afraid it's harder than killing them!
But they didn't know that Lin Zifan had thought about such a problem a long time ago, and he didn't care at all......
I make a lot of money with a tael of silver and a jar, who buys it or not?
People who sell to Datang will make less money, and it is naturally better to thank foreigners for buying, but if you don't buy it, I won't lose money!
If it was true that a few people occasionally sold a few jars, Lin Zifan would have turned a blind eye, and he could also increase some income for the people and improve their lives......
But his cheap godsister suddenly started to do the scalper's business, but Lin Zifan had to stop it......
The way to stop it is also very simple, just issue a notice, once it is discovered, anyone dares to sell the second pot to foreigners without permission...... Then, this person will never be able to buy Erguotou again!
In other words, you can sell it, provided you don't get discovered!
Once you find out, you won't even want to buy alcohol again! Don't even drink it!
In this way, those scalpers were instantly intimidated, or rather, Li Shangshu got Lin Zifan's signal and immediately stopped the relevant business, and the scalpers disappeared instantly......
