Chapter 34: Liquor Prices

The area of the carriage is okay, and the two of them don't look cramped in it, but in such a confined space, the eldest grandson Wanting is still a little nervous alone with a man.

"My aunt has something to say directly, we are a family, there is no need to turn around."

Li Xiang knew that the time on the road was not long, so he went straight to the topic, if you want to test each other, it is estimated that you have not waited for you to finish the test, the yamen of the military department has already arrived at the place.

Hearing Li Xiang's words, the eldest grandson Huanting's heart warmed.

Although there are children in the family who call themselves aunts, I don't know why when those children speak, the eldest grandson Huanting does not have this kind of intimacy, it may be that the smile on Li Xiang's face is too infectious.

"Since that's the case, my aunt won't go around in circles, this is the wine that was ordered, and now it will be delivered soon, can this price be raised, if it is raised, our profits will also increase, it is not that we raise the price for no reason, but that the social demand is here."

It turned out that after this booking meeting, the eldest grandson Huanting also saw that for these rich people, even if the price rises a little, they have nothing to take care of, and they will still take money to order, why don't we make this money?

Li Xiang thought about it carefully, five taels of silver and a pound of wine were already sky-high in this era, Li Xiang felt that this price had reached the top before, but the eldest grandson Huanting has been in charge of the liquor sales business of the eldest grandson's family, if she said yes, it should be no problem.

"How much does my aunt think the price should go up?"

More money is a good thing for us, but it can't go up for no reason, in case you offend customers, short-term profits can't make up for long-term development.

"Seven taels of silver a pound."

The eldest grandson Huanting took a deep breath, this figure was not said casually, but according to the price on the black market, because it was only a hundred catties a day, so many people couldn't buy it at all.

At present, the black market in Chang'an City has come out to buy the price, about nine to eleven taels of silver, of course, mainly because everyone has not tasted it, so the first bid was too generous, but even after everyone tasted it, the taste of this wine was there, so seven taels of silver is still no problem, relatively speaking, the price increase is relatively conservative.

Li Xiang could have agreed directly, but he still groaned for a moment, and the eldest grandson Huanting was also very nervous at the moment, although the sales channel was in her hands, but the owner of the goods was Li Xiang, and without Li Xiang's consent, she could not increase the price at will.

If the price of each catty of wine rises to two taels of silver, one hundred catties a day will be two hundred taels of silver, and the eldest grandson's family can get fifteen percent of it, which is thirty taels of silver, and the original one could get seventy-five taels of silver a day, but now one hundred and five taels of silver can be obtained every day, nearly half more than the original time.

"Then do what my aunt said, but it's best to send more people to observe the market, and if there is any resistance to the price, we still have to adjust it temporarily."

Although Li Xiang has confidence in this wine, he still doesn't know much about the sales ability of Chang'an City, so it is better to be cautious in doing things.

"You can rest assured about this, I have already sent out dozens of secret agents at home, and today they will inquire about the news in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and I will have someone send a summary to the East Palace tonight."

Hearing that the eldest grandson Huanting had already made arrangements, Li Xiang was also relieved, cooperating with such a person to buy and sell, and saving himself a lot of things inside and out.

"There is one thing I have to remind, the liquor market in Chang'an City, one-third of which is in our home, two-thirds is in the Cui family, that is, the famous Qinghe Cui's, your liquor has no impact on the middle and low end after it is listed, but for the most lucrative high-end liquor, it can be said that it is directly reshuffled, and you have to be careful of their trouble with you."

After talking about serious things, the eldest grandson Huanting told Li Xiang another thing, the eldest grandson's family, as the first wealthy family of the Tang Dynasty, is not the first wealthy family of the Tang Empire, their family only has a little power in the capital, if you talk about other regions, it is still the world of five surnames and seven hopes.

After coming to this world, Li Xiang came into contact with the five surnames and seven wangs for the first time, and it was the first-ranked Qinghe Cui family, according to historical records, this was the first wealthy family in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Cheng Biting Jin's wife is from the Qinghe Cui family, but it is not the main line, just a side branch, even so, it is already second to none in the capital.

"Aunt rest assured, the little nephew has never been afraid of any challenge, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, not to mention that this is still my Tang Dynasty, why not be afraid of these clowns."

Li Xiang was full of arrogance for a while, and the eldest grandson Huanting was stunned next to him, a child who was only thirteen years old could say such bold words, if you didn't know this child, you would think that you were talking nonsense here, but what you have done in the recent period of time all shows Li Xiang's wisdom and domineering.

No one has ever said that the five surnames and seven hopes are clowns, including the emperor of the dynasty, when it comes to the five surnames and seven wangs, they all feel a very headache.

Although their power in the court is not very strong, it has reached the extreme in the people, penetrating into all corners, if it is strong, I am afraid that the emperor's country is unstable, so they can only fight each other under the rules of the situation.

Li Xiang has long understood this, so there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as you don't tear your face and rebel, then in the case of rules, we are the best at playing, don't forget that we come from the modern era after a thousand years, can you be afraid of a few turtle landlords?

"Miss, the military department has arrived."

Just when the two were talking, the carriage had arrived at the gate of the military department, according to the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji, although the eldest grandson Huanting hurriedly went over to talk about things, it was best to put Li Xiang down near the military department, don't go to the gate, this is too ostentatious, but just now the eldest grandson Huanting was stunned and forgot about it.

A woman's carriage appeared at the gate of the military department, which is a rare thing in itself, and this is the eldest lady of the eldest grandson's family, which is even more rare, women will not come to the military department on errands, who is this to send? Haven't you heard of the eldest lady of the eldest grandson's family?

Everyone looked up to see what was going on......
