Lan Yu'er is twenty-eight or nineteen years old. Wei Guifei had long wanted to arrange a family affair for Lan Yu'er, and Li Shen had even prepared a dowry. It's just that Lan Yu'er was unwilling, saying that she wanted to serve Li Shen.

Now Lan Yu'er is a female official in the palace, responsible for Li Shen's food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as the management of the maidservant, and the outsider Li Shen is not at ease. There are a lot of maidservants in the palace, otherwise such a big mansion can't be cleaned every day.

And the stone was responsible for the miscellaneous and external affairs of the entire inner court, as well as the management of the eunuchs. Chunxiang Dongmei is to serve Li Shen closely, and the division of labor is very clear.

"Shen'er, I went to Wei Ting's mansion just now. He turned out to be ... Wei Guifei briefly said the things in Wei Ting's mansion, including Wei Ting's request for Li Shen to contribute to the method of making tea.

"Mother, do you think this old man is crazy, the Wei family is just a second-rate family, and the gap between him and the five surnames and Qiwang is so big, he dares to rob me of a prince's things, does he have a brain disease?" Li Shen smiled.

"They are used to being powerful in Jingzhao Yin." Wei Guifei sighed and continued: "Don't talk about them. There's another thing I want you to help with.

I was born in the Wei Shixun Mansion, and your grandfather had three brothers, all of whom are no longer there. We were left with a few brothers and sisters.

Although they are all officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee, their positions are not high, and their people are not prosperous, and many industries have been taken over by other clansmen.

Now your new tea has a big impact on your uncles' families. They don't have the strength to do a big business like salt and iron paper, so tea is an important input for them, and I hope you can help you with a few uncles. ”

"Mother, what is the matter, can't you just give them some tea to sell?" Li Shen readily agreed. As long as the mother is happy. A little money is nothing.

"Don't worry, concubine, you let them go to Wang Hongfu, I will say hello and give them some more shares. It's just that Chang'an can't be sold, and I have to deal with the Wei family tea house. ”

"Don't worry, Shen'er. Chang'an Weijia Tea House is not the property of our Xun Gongfang. They are all elsewhere in Jingzhao. Wei Guifei said

"Then there is no problem, as long as the mother concubine is happy, you can sell anyone." Li Shen said

"One more thing, a few of your uncles have brought in a batch of spring tea cakes. There are 80,000 quintals, and they can't sell it now, so they want you to help us come up with ideas to see if we can sell them. Otherwise, it can only be moldy, a total of more than 900,000 pieces, and the loss is too great. After Wei Guifei finished speaking, she looked at Li Shen expectantly

Li Shen looked at Wei Guifei's expectant eyes and smiled, "Mother, you tell your uncles, I bought it, you let them all be transported to Huangzhuang, there is a big warehouse on my side, and I want one million yuan." ”

"Shen'er, aren't you losing money in this way. The mother doesn't want you to lose so much for the sake of the mother. ”

"Don't worry, mother, when will my son make a loss-making deal. I naturally have my own way, my mother has been out for so long, she must be hungry, and the stone tells her to eat later, and make a few dishes that my mother loves to eat. Just go! ”

Soon the mother and son had a warm meal, and Li Shen chatted with Wei Guifei until Wei Guifei returned to the palace in the evening.

The next day, after Li Shen got up, he summoned Wang Hongfu and explained the matter of giving the Wei brothers a share of tea. Li Shen remembered that Wei Guifei told him about Wei Ting's house yesterday, although Wei Guifei didn't say anything else, but when Lan Yuer was teaching the method of milk tea, the maid next to Wei Guifei told Lan Yuer about the matter.

How could Li Shen allow someone to treat his mother like this, he had to add another fire to them.

Li Shen found the bustard who lived in Yirenju, and the bustard was very enthusiastic.

"How's it going to ask you about it?" Li Shen asked as he drank tea

"Back to Your Highness, our prince said that he was not going to sell. But as long as Your Highness wants to use us, we will support it for free. The old bustard said with a flattering face

"Not for sale? It's a pity. But you tell the fifth brother when you changed your mind, tell me. Maybe I can help him out. Since it doesn't work, I'll go first. We have to change the method. ”

"His Royal Highness King Ji. If there is anything needed, we can help. The bustard said

"No need, I'm going to make money here, I'll tell you how I'm going to make money from now on." After speaking, Li Shen went out of Yirenju. The old bustard looked at Li Shen's back and secretly said that it was a pity, all the methods that King Ji came up with were ways to make money.

Li Shen came out of Yirenju and went directly to Dongshi, he now has a lot of spare shops in his hands, and there is a second floor next door to the flavor hall. used to be a cloth shop, Li Shen asked Wang Hongfu to find someone to decorate it, and all of them became private rooms.

The room in the back yard has become a high-end private room, and the middle of the downstairs is made a rockery, and the surrounding area is blocked with a screen style, how elegant and how to come, regardless of the cost, the sooner the better.

Under the offensive of Li Shenqian, the construction was completed by hundreds of craftsmen in just five days. Inside, there is danqing ink, and the small bridge flows. Poetic. Li Shen also gave it an elegant name: Literati Elegance.

Li Shen wanted to make drinking new tea a symbol of the adult society, Li Shen also advertised in the newspaper, the elegant environment of literati, the place where literati gathered, three or five friends at the meeting, chanting poems against each other, and talking about life and death.

All of a sudden, the literati realm is completely popular, every day is full, the literati realm is divided into several modes, you can make your own tea with your friends, or ask a special maid to help you make tea.

These maids are some palace maids who Li Shen wants to come out of the palace soon, and they work here after training, which not only solves Li Shen's employment problem, but also solves the life problem of these palace maids.

There is also a special tea ceremony performance in the hall, and Li Shen also specially let some big businessmen come in to observe. And suggested that they also open a teahouse in their hometown, of course, it can't be called literati elegance.

For a time, the sales of tea and tea sets in the boutique pavilion skyrocketed, but Chang'an Weijia Tea House was a crowd. Not only the Wei family's tea estate, but other tea estates have also been seriously affected.

Li Shen's tea business has completely spread all over the country, and he has sent people to various tea-producing states and counties to order autumn tea at high prices. Merchants are buying tea in an endless stream, and many people have begun to ask Wang Hongfu for their relationship in the hope that they can get the goods in advance.

Chang'an Manfulou is a tea house opened by a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and business has been very good. It's just that now it's getting sluggish. There are 30,000 quintals of spring tea cakes that have just arrived some time ago, and now they can't be sold at all. The owner, Liu Zude, immediately set off for Chang'an after learning the news of the new tea.

These are all mid-to-high-end tea cakes, worth four or five hundred thousand yuan. If it really can't be sold, then it's really going to be lost, this batch of goods is all his belongings, and he thought that he was sitting on millions of assets when it was done. Became one of the top businessmen in Lingzhou. But who would have thought that Li Shen would make a new tea.

The guy who was worried came to report that it was Wang Hongfu, who was the shopkeeper of the boutique pavilion, asked to see him. Liu Zude cleaned up his mood and came to the front hall of Manfu Building.

"The king's shopkeeper is far away, come and sit. Someone served tea. ”
