In the blink of an eye, there are people who are willing to spend more than 3,000 taels to buy 20 boxes of small imperial tea, which is more than 3,000 taels, and how many people can't earn so many silver taels in their lifetime.

However, the shopkeeper of the Imperial Tea Workshop shook his head: "I'm sorry Lord Zhu, our Imperial Tea Workshop can only sell you a maximum of five boxes at a time!" ”

Lord Zhu's face sank, and he said angrily: "Are you afraid that this official will not be able to pay the silver?" Or do you want odd goods to sit on the ground and start the price? ”

The crowd of onlookers was also puzzled.

How can there be a reason to push the door-to-door business outward?

Besides, the other party is still a powerful person like Lord Zhu of Yushitai, and he is still unwilling to sell, isn't this offending the other party.

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Master Zhu, you misunderstood, Xiaomin also said just now, this small imperial tea is picked by mouth every morning with beautiful virginity, and the production process is extremely cumbersome, and the yield is extremely low, so the number of our imperial tea shops is limited, you buy so much alone, what should others do?" ”

The Imperial Historical Observatory is responsible for picketing, impeaching officials, and enforcing discipline, and Lord Zhu is not good at buying and selling in front of everyone, so he can only nod.

"Well, then buy five boxes."

But I was thinking in my heart, it's a big deal to send the housekeeper to buy it again, and I can't do this kind of thing.

"Okay, sir, wait a minute!"

Soon, five boxes of small imperial tea came from the second end of the shop.

After the money and goods were cleared, Lord Zhu left satisfied, and then the onlookers swarmed up.

"Get me a box too!"

"I want two boxes!"

Soon, the news of the Imperial Tea Shop selling the imperial tea drunk by His Majesty spread in the elite circle of the capital, causing an uproar at once.

In particular, even Lord Zhu of Yushitai declared in public that this was indeed the best tea that His Majesty rewarded and drank in the early dynasties, far better than other tea soups, and this was a good tea that even His Majesty praised.

After learning that the quantity of small imperial tea was limited, he sent someone to buy and hoard it and began to speculate.

At the same time, small imperial tea is also regarded as the best gift at the moment, and many people who need to make a relationship have also come to buy it.

After all, it is an imperial tea that can only be drunk by His Majesty, and what an honor it is to be able to drink it, and it is very face-saving as a gift, and the person who receives the gift is also happy in his heart.

For a time, small imperial tea swept the capital.

Unfortunately, due to the limited quantity, it was sold out after only half a day, and the Imperial Tea House had to close its doors, making those who did not buy it beat their chests for a while.

Many people came to the door of the imperial tea shop and expressed their willingness to buy it at a high price, but unfortunately the shopkeeper said that the small imperial tea had been completely sold out, not to mention one hundred and sixty-six taels, even if it was one thousand six hundred and sixty-six taels, it could not be bought, and it was necessary to wait until the next purchase to buy it.

As for when the next purchase will be, the shopkeeper of the Imperial Tea House also said that he does not know.

It is precisely because the small imperial tea was sold out directly in half a day, and the subsequent resale date is far away, causing the price of small imperial tea to rise again and again in the black market, and soon more than doubled, and there is no market.

Gao Dali took the silver taels he had earned for a day, and trotted to the palace with excitement on his face to meet Emperor Qianwu.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

"Great joy! What a happy event! ”

"Koocha sells very well......"

Emperor Qianwu, who was reviewing the chapters, saw that Gao Dali's face was red and his breathing was heavy, and his face suddenly sank because he was in a bad mood because of the emptiness of the treasury.

"Gao Dali, you have also been with me for so many years, why are you so out of shape? Even if the little imperial tea sells well, it shouldn't be like this, you really disappointed me! ”

Hearing this, Gao Dali looked stunned, took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty's lesson is that it is the old slave who has lost his temper, and please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Qianwu continued to bow his head and review the folds, and said in an indifferent tone: "I remember that you have been with me for many years, and this time I will be exempted from punishment, now let's talk about how many boxes have been sold." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Dali hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it's all sold out!" ”

Emperor Qianwu was stunned: "What? All sold out?! ”

Gao Dali's expression became excited again, and he said loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty, the two thousand boxes of small imperial tea have all been sold, and after deducting the cost, I have earned two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver in one afternoon!" ”

Syllable!

The imperial pen in Emperor Qianwu's hand fell, smashed on the fold, splashed a piece of ink, and even splashed onto the dragon robe.

But at this time, he didn't have the mentality, Rao is perennial in the emperor's throne, and he has already cultivated a state of mind that is not shocked, and he can't help but exclaim at this moment: "I didn't hear clearly, what did you say!?" ”

"The small imperial tea was all sold out, and it earned 230,000 taels, and many people fought in order to buy tea, and even alarmed Dali Temple!"

After being confirmed again, Emperor Qianwu stood up suddenly, with an excited look on his face, and walked quickly around the room.

"Two thousand boxes, it was sold out in half a day!"

"In half a day, I earned 230,000 taels of silver, which is unbelievable!"

"It's a loss, it's a big loss! If I knew this was the case, I should have brought more goods! ”

"Oh my God, that's a lot of money, isn't it!?"

If Emperor Qianwu's expression was seen by the courtiers at this time, his jaw would definitely drop.

Who would have thought that Emperor Qianwu, who had been fighting on the battlefield for half his life, and had always been in the forefront of Mount Tai and had not changed his color, would have such a gaffe?

And Gao Dali complained in his heart.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just now you reprimanded the old slave for losing his temper, and now you are even more out of shape than the old slave!

This reprimand is really wronged!

After a short period of excitement, Emperor Qianwu gradually regained his composure, and his expression became cold: "Gao Dali, who bought these teas?" ”

Gao Dali knew what he was thinking, and bowed down and said, "Half of them were purchased by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and half were bought by merchants. ”

Li Changfeng said before that tea at this price is mainly sold by the powerful, so he performed such a play in the early dynasty today.

Even if he had been mentally prepared and knew that the ministers of the DPRK and China were quite rich, he could not help but feel angry when he heard that such expensive tea had been sold out in just half a day.

The treasury is empty, and the people of Li are living extremely hard, these officials of the DPRK and China, who usually claim to be honest, are so rich!

With their money, how could they afford such expensive tea?

Where the hell did they get their money?

Is it obtained by taking bribes?

If the officials are rich and the people are poor, and there are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, if it is too serious, it will shake the country's foundation!

Emperor Qianwu's eyes couldn't help but burst out with murderous intent.

But then it gradually disappeared again.

After all, there are too many officials and magnates involved, and it is not okay to rashly open the knife, and if it is not good, it will cause mutiny.

And when he first purchased the goods, Li Changfeng made a discount, the purchase price was 100,000 taels of silver and 2,000 boxes, and he also made a huge difference of 116 taels for a box, plus the 95,000 taels of loan owed by Li Changfeng had no intention of repaying it at all, in fact, where is the real cost of 100,000 taels, it is clearly only 5,000 taels.

That is, this time he earned a total of 327,000 taels, nearly 330,000 taels.

The treasury was suddenly full, and it was almost as big as the treasury.

After thinking about it, I can only turn a blind eye for the time being.

After collecting his thoughts, Emperor Qianwu ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to Baishi City, no matter how many small imperial teas there are in the Nine Emperors, they will be brought to me." ”

Gao Dali bowed and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave has already sent someone on the way here, and there will be more small imperial tea to sell soon." ”

"Well, that's a good job!"

Emperor Qianwu's mood improved again.

Nearly 330,000 taels of silver!

Ever since he won the world, he had never been so rich.

Then I thought of the refined salt that I brought at the same time.

Even tea can make so much money, so how much money can be made from refined salt, whose quality far exceeds that of official salt?

You must know that tea is not everyone's favorite drink, and it has little impact on whether you drink it or not.

But salt is different, no matter who you are, you have to eat it every day, and the consumption is very huge.

The business opportunities contained in this, thinking about Emperor Qianwu, I was a little excited.

However, the matter of selling refined salt cannot be started immediately, it needs to be done step by step, after all, all aspects involved are too big, even if he is the emperor, he can't do it in one step.

But another very profitable business can be started right away!
