When Li Tai came to the door to find Li Zhi, Li Zhi almost thought that he was dazzled.

On weekdays, Li Tai will not come to visit Li Tai, let alone visit Li Zhi's industries in Chang'an City.

Now that the sun hasn't hit the west again, how could Li Tai suddenly find him?

Li Zhi beckoned, and after Li Tai sat down, he wanted to endure the doubts in his heart first, and have some family affairs with him.

Unexpectedly, Li Tai at this time only felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to quickly talk about the business and leave as soon as possible.

So he just briefly responded to a few questions from Li Zhi, and then took the initiative to say what he meant.

"That's... Pheasant slave! There are four things I want to discuss with you. ”

Li Tai took advantage of the maid's tea to speak.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "If the fourth brother has any orders, even if he speaks, why be polite to the younger brother." ”

Li Tai rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "That... That's right.

Now that our brothers have their own hereditary fiefdoms, that... You know that the fourth brother's fief is in Xiangzhou, right? ”

Li Zhi nodded blankly and said, "I know." ”

Li Tai continued to speak: "That... Here's the thing.

Fourth brother, I want to seek some benefits for the people of Xiangzhou. ”

Speaking of this, he coughed dryly and continued: "Everyone in this world knows that the ninth brother is quite good at management. ”

"Cough" Li Tai coughed dryly again and said, "The fourth brother thought about the ninth brother, can you recommend a few suitable industries for the fourth brother to develop in Xiangzhou." ”

Li Tai was embarrassed to death when he spoke, so after saying just two sentences, he quickly picked up the tea on the side and took a sip.

After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Zhi almost couldn't help but go outside to see if the sun was rising in the west today.

He never thought that Li Tai would actually come to him and ask for the method of governing Xiangzhou.

After several efforts, Li Zhi finally suppressed the urge to ask.

He thought hard for a while and said, "Xiangzhou's porcelain and silk are very famous, and the fourth brother might as well increase some production for export trade." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi pondered again, and then continued to speak: "There are many businesses in the hands of the junior brother that can be operated in the fourth brother's fiefdom.

If the fourth brother needs it, he can send someone to discuss it with Shopkeeper Pei.

As long as the younger brother of the fourth brother takes a fancy to him, he will give the patent to the fourth brother for free.

As for the equipment, the younger brother can also provide some discounts. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Li Tai's eyes.

thought: Li Zhi is still relatively good at being a person, at least he didn't take this opportunity to slaughter himself.

He held up the tea in front of him and said, "In this way, the fourth brother will replace the wine with a tea, thank you for the care of the ninth brother." ”

After Li Zhi took a sip of tea with him, he asked, "What does the fourth brother think of the tea here tastes?" ”

He hadn't paid much attention to it when he drank it just now, but after listening to Li Zhi mention it, he immediately found that the tea on the table was very different from what he had drunk before.

So he immediately took the cup and took another sip.

Then he asked in surprise: "Ninth brother, this tea seems to be very different from the popular tea, but it uses a new process?" ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Li Tai said: "This tea is clear and transparent, and it doesn't seem to have any spices added, and the taste is also bitter and then sweet, which is quite worth recalling."

For my brother, I thought it should be regarded as the best product in tea. ”

Li Zhi said: "There seems to be a place for tea production in Xiangzhou, if the fourth brother does not abandon the younger brother, he is willing to cooperate with the fourth brother to run this business together." ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Tai secretly thought to himself:

I have taken advantage of Li Zhi a lot here, and the tea produced in Xiangzhou is just an ordinary product.

Even if you cooperate with Li Zhi, I am afraid that you will not make much profit, so it is better to be generous and give this profit directly to him.

So he spoke: "Since the ninth brother is interested in the tea produced under his brother's rule, the fourth brother will let you run this business."

As for cooperation, there is no need to talk about it. ”

What Li Tai was thinking at this time was that he had to give up some benefits when he came to Li Zhi to learn from him, so as not to let himself owe him too much favor.

However, after hearing his words, Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Fourth brother may not know the profits that this new method of making tea can bring. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi picked up the teacup and continued: "This tea saves a lot of expensive spices.

Therefore, except for a few kinds of tribute tea, other teas can be sold cheaper to ordinary people.

Fourth brother, please think about it, if this tea is sold for one or two yuan a pot, how many people will be willing to try to drink it? ”

Li Zhi's words piqued Li Tai's interest.

He said with some excitement: "If it can really be sold so cheaply, I am afraid that the people of the entire Tang Dynasty will be willing to try." ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "In the past, although the people would occasionally drink tea, they were generally reluctant to put too many spices.

As a result, the taste of tea is very ordinary, and it is difficult for people to develop the habit of drinking tea.

If this tea appears on the market, the people can save a lot of money on spices.

At that time, the unique flavor of this tea will surely become popular quickly. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi concluded with a smile: "Fourth brother guessed how high the sales of tea would be at that time? ”

Li Tai's eyes had already lit up after hearing Li Zhi's analysis.

At this time, as soon as Li Zhi's words were finished, he slapped his thigh violently.

Then he said excitedly: "Ninth brother doesn't need to say much, this business is done for my brother." ”

After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Zhi nodded and said, "Since this is the case, the fourth brother is responsible for collecting and selling the tea, and the younger brother will send someone to process it."

As for profit! You and I each have 50%, okay? ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Tai agreed without thinking about it.

Li Zhi has mastered the most critical method of making tea, and he is just doing a sales job.

It's nice to be able to get half of the profits.

After talking about this matter, Li Tai obviously relaxed a lot.

I only heard him continue to speak: "Xiangzhou's water network is quite developed, and there are also merits in agriculture.

I wonder if the ninth brother can say hello to Lord Zhang and ask him to send someone over for guidance? ”

As soon as Li Tai's mentality relaxed, he began to speak immediately, but he couldn't use his brain.

At this time, he directly put the relationship between Li Zhi and Zhang Ru on the table, and even directly asked Li Zhi to give orders to Zhang Ru.

After hearing this, Li Zhi immediately shook his head and said, "The fourth brother's request is difficult for the junior brother to do.

How can Si Nong Siqing say that he is also a member of the three grades, how can the younger brother be able to command at will? ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

I saw him say embarrassedly: "Just now, my brother was too excited to ignore this matter."

I wonder if the ninth brother can draw the line for his brother and make an appointment to meet Master Zhang Ru? ”
