Chapter 69: Want to Sell for a Good Price? Then you have to be able to tell a story!
After the two sat down, Tao Yao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the little sister's nonsense, Your Majesty has his own opinions in every word and deed, so why do you need to explain it to us." ”
I smiled, didn't answer, and turned to look at Baling.
"Do you know what porcelain is? And do you know what is the connection between this tea and porcelain? ”
Baling pursed his lips and responded, "Back to Your Majesty, I don't know." ”
I picked up the cup and said to the two of them, "Who made this tea?" ”
Tao Yao bowed slightly: "It was made by a servant in the family, and this servant is quite praised for making tea." What does Your Majesty think? ”
I shook my head: "It's not good, it's very bad." I know a way to drink tea, called the tea brewing method, the tea brewed by this method is more than a hundred times better than this tea, and it is rumored that someone has drunk this tea and soared in place, believe it or not? ”
Baling's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, tea is tea, how to change the way, using the so-called tea brewing method of Your Majesty, you can fly in place, I don't believe it!" ”
Tao Yao was also speechless for a while, obviously not believing it.
I laughed: "If you don't believe it, it's right, only fools believe it!" ”
The words changed: "But what if I tell you that this tea making method is not only delicious, but also can prolong life?" Do you believe it or not? ”
Baling held his chin and thought for a while, and said with a slight frown: "I definitely don't believe in flying in place, and I don't believe it if you prolong your life." ”
Tao Yao nodded and said, "Compared to soaring in place, some people may believe in longevity." ”
I clapped my hands, and the sound startled the two of them.
"The former says that if there is no problem with the brain, no one will believe it; The latter argument turns people from unbelief to doubt. So if I don't talk about the former, I don't talk about the latter, and I just tell you that this tea brewing method is better than the tea brewing method, do you believe it or not? ”
Tao Yao responded: "If it's a concubine, I'll give it a try!" ”
I smiled slightly: "Got it?" ”
Baling looked confused, as if the teacher asked her how much 1+1 was equal to the kind of confusion that she couldn't calculate.
Tao Yao was thoughtful, and said for a long time: "Your Majesty means that if you first boast about this kind of thing, some people will try it if they are curious." When you try it and find that it doesn't have the desired effect, but it's still much better than the previous thing, people still choose to use it? ”
I nodded and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the person in charge, and it is clear at all." ”
"This tea and porcelain are complementary to each other, if you want to promote porcelain, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it in a short time. However, if the dignitaries and nobles of Xianyang City are guided to rise up a trend of using porcelain to drink tea, so that the ordinary thing of drinking tea will gradually become synonymous with elegance, so that not only can porcelain be promoted smoothly, but the tea trade will naturally rise. ”
"I'll tell you a story. Someone once packaged the most ordinary tea in an extremely delicate appearance, boasted that it was made by the master himself, and bound this tea to the nobility, which really attracted a lot of people to praise it, and this person made a lot of money; ”
When the reputation of tea gradually declined, this person made a chair that claimed to treat the back, saying that as long as a person with a stiff figure sat on this chair for a long time, he could restore his upright figure, and for a time it attracted everyone to buy it. If you want to say that there is an effect, it is, but it is impossible to achieve the effect of restoring your body. ”
Tao Yao was also surprised when she heard this: "Is this okay?" ”
I replied, "Yes, that's fine." But of course, we don't do this kind of fraudulent trade. The tea and porcelain I mentioned are all things that are beneficial to the world's leaders, but they are just used to quickly promote them. Clothing, food, housing, and transportationOrdinary people have the way of life of ordinary people, and nobles have the way of life of nobles. This porcelain and tea are the same, and it is not too much to sell the best for ten gold, and the average Qianshou can also afford it. ”
"As for this salt, I have ordered people to set up the Ancient Dao Salt Mansion in Gudao County, the source of Yushui, so the Dao Salt Mansion only produces refined salt, and the coarse salt will be handed over to Zhisu Neishi for processing, and you are considered a private exclusive operator."
After hearing this, Tao Yao got up and bowed deeply.
"Concubine Thank Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been thinking about me so far, and the concubine has nothing to repay!"
I also got up and said, "I am planning for the Great Qin Society, so I don't need to say thank you. I am afraid that the firing of porcelain will not be able to meet my requirements in half a year, so you should start the matter of silk and salt first, and then send a caravan to the Western Regions after the Hexi Corridor is settled. ”
"After the porcelain is successfully fired, I will teach you how to make tea. I will also help you in the imperial court, and those ministers will take the lead in using porcelain and tea. ”
"But there's one more thing I have to warn you of. The first time the Trade Council sent envoys to the countries of the Western Regions with you, the Hexi Corridor may have been settled, but the way to the Western Regions is long, and the dangers are indescribable, so you should be prepared. I will give you the map of the Western Regions first, but I will not give you more than three months to trade alone, and after three months I will spread the map of the Western Regions, and any merchant who wants to go to do business can go through the official register. ”
Tao Yao bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's great grace, the concubine will remember it!" ”
I waved my hand, glanced at Baling, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, so I won't stay longer, so I won't be unhappy!" ”
Ba Ling's face turned red suddenly, and he hurriedly saluted: "Where is Your Majesty, Ba Ling hopes that Your Majesty will stay for a while!" ”
Looking at Baling, I don't have any disgust, it's rare to meet such a lively person in this era, the girl is full of sex, and it's also an interesting thing.
But I still smiled and reminded: "It's okay in front of me, I'm not such an old-fashioned person." But don't be so casual with other people, so as not to offend those who have a heart, and I am afraid that it will be detrimental to you and your Ba clan. ”
Ba Ling hurriedly said: "Remember Your Majesty's teachings! ”
Tao Yao also cast a grateful look. This little sister is lawless at home, if she is not really angry, even her own words will be taken as a deaf ear, and those men in the family will avoid her when they see her.
Smiling, I didn't say anything more, and turned out of the Babbitt table. That's all they say, it's their business to listen or not to listen.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty."
Seeing me go away, Baling let out a sigh of relief and pulled Tao Yao to sit down.
"Sister, sometimes I wonder if Your Majesty is from our Great Qin."
Tao Yaoqi said: "How do you say this? ”
Ba Ling looked out of the door and frowned: "I heard that all the things in the Jiangzuo Mansion were thought up by His Majesty, as well as rice, silk, and this time the Western Regions, salt, tea, and porcelain. Sister, you often follow your mother to travel to the outside world, not to mention all over the world, but also more places than other people in Daqin, right? Have you heard that there are forty or fifty countries in the Western Regions? ”
Tao Yao also pondered for a while: "I've heard people talk about the Western Regions, but no one has been to Daqin. Also, how did Your Majesty know that there are so many countries in the Western Regions? Could it be that the scouts are probing? ”
Ba Ling shook his head: "When the First Emperor was alive, the soldiers of the Great Qin were so sharp, they couldn't break through the barrier of the Qiang people and go west. Your Majesty has only been on the throne for three years, how can he have the energy to explore the Western Regions? ”
Suddenly, Ba Ling got up and jumped: "It won't be the time we saw Your Majesty in Longxi, Your Majesty went to investigate by himself?" ”
Tao Yao was stunned: "Impossible!" ”
The two thought about it for a long time but didn't figure it out.
Tao Yao smiled casually: "Don't think about it, Your Majesty is not a person from Great Qin, is it an immortal from the sky?" This is a great opportunity that His Majesty has given us, and we must take advantage of it. Moreover, you should not think about Your Majesty, but about what Your Majesty said to you! ”
Hearing this, Baling stuck out his tongue and muttered, "Got it! ”
If I heard Baring's words, I understood why people with such out-of-the-box thinking were not allowed to exist in ancient times. Such people are often only one step away from the truth!
