15 Chapter 15

Li Changan didn't want to open a tea shop when she was hot, she had carefully analyzed and investigated.

Thanks to his family background, Li Changan can find the best batch of tea leaves in Concubine Wu Hui's palace, and it tastes very strange.

She also specially asked Concubine Wu Hui where it was good to eat tea, Concubine Wu Hui told her that it was good to refresh her mind and refresh her mind after eating, and then she asked why Concubine Wu Hui didn't like to eat tea so well, Concubine Wu Hui said to her that children don't care so much.

Li Changan understood, tea is a symbol of status, because the best things in the whole world must be in the palace, so even if the emperor and concubines don't like to eat tea, there must be the best tea in the world in the palace, which is a symbol of status.

That means that in the high-end market, this part of the tea is still blank.

Look at the production end, the current tea soup practice is to mash the tea leaves and then sieve, the tea powder after the sieve can be poured into the furnace to boil tea, and it is thick like porridge, it is called "eating tea" because of eating a bowl of tubes, of which three catties of tea can produce a catty of tea soup.

There is a lot of room for improvement on the production side, the consumer market is blank, and her current identity is convenient to open up the high-end market, and tea is still a profiteering industry in Datang.

Li Changan carefully analyzed and felt that the sale of tea was a drop of money from the sky, and as long as she grasped the core production technology, she could earn the first pot of gold for the development of her forces.

"Teacher, don't worry, I'll give you a technical share, how about 20% of the shares? It's not that I'm reluctant to give you more, it's mainly that I still have to give Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui a part of the remaining shares, and I still have to buy a shop to hire people, and I will definitely have to expand my business in the past few years, and there are more places to spend money. Li Changan babbled and explained to Shen Chu.

Shen Chu glanced at Li Changan and snorted lightly: "You don't have to leave me shares." ”

"Huh?"

The charcoal basin had been burning for half an hour, and the study was already warm, Shen Chu took the tongs and pulled the charcoal basin a few times, and opened his mouth gently.

"I don't love money."

Li Changan subconsciously wanted to say how could there be people in the world who didn't love money, but her eyes fell on Shen Chu's coarse cloth robe with whitish cuffs, and watched him pull the old charcoal basin that was obviously old, and the white smoke from the inferior charcoal in the charcoal basin carried a strong smell of dust, all of which showed that Shen Chu was not rich, and her mood suddenly became complicated.

Shen Chu likes to drink tea, and the tea he drinks is ordinary tea made by himself, and he likes to drink wine, and the wine he drinks is fruit wine and rice wine made by himself.

Even if he is an official, it is only a means and not an end to him. He just feels that the people of Datang are pitiful, and he wants to do something, so he needs to become an official with real power.

It's strange that there is such a person in this world, and her teacher is such a person.

Shen Chu ignored Li Changan's strange eyes, he just chuckled: "What use can that money be in my hands?" You have promised me that I can ask you for money at any time when I use it, and these are enough for me, and no amount of money is piled up in the treasury, so it is better for you to take it and do something more useful. ”

He feels that he is still self-aware, he can't make money outside of his cognition, and he can't spend money outside of cognition, so let's throw the mundane things of making money and spending money to Li Changan, she is good at these.

"You still don't just say it, if you want to make money, make it quickly." Shen Chu stretched out his finger and unceremoniously gave Li Changan a brain breakdown, and opened his mouth unceremoniously.

"Jade-faced Meng Wei will go to the street tomorrow to inquire about any down-and-out heroes who need my help, if they can't come up with the money by then, they will make all the heroes laugh."

Li Changan tilted his head proudly when he heard this, untied the embroidered bag hanging from his waist, untied his mouth, and poured the contents on the table.

I saw that the golden nuggets were spread on the table, and there must be twenty taels of gold at least.

He stretched out his hand again to divide this small pile of gold into two small piles, and Li Changan pushed one of the piles in front of Shen Chu.

"These ten taels of gold are the practice funds I have granted to my teachers. In addition, I plan to take those to buy a shop in the East Market to sell tea. ”

It is obviously unrealistic to carry a large number of copper coins with you, although now Kaiyuan Tongbao and silk silk are the most circulating currencies in the Tang Dynasty, but gold is valuable in any dynasty, according to today's market, one or two gold can be exchanged for eight thousand yuan, that is, eight guan, ten taels of gold is eighty guan, eighty thousand yuan.

Now it is the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, and a bucket of rice is only thirteen yuan, and 80,000 yuan is enough for Shen Chu to help the poor people for a period of time.

I just don't know if she can have the money to buy a few acres of tea trees after buying the shop. Now the climate is humid and warm, and there are tea trees planted near Chang'an, but the quality is not as good as in the south, but it is enough to make ordinary tea. The Tang people's love of drinking tea was originally brought by the monks, and the temples of Chang'an have special fields to plant tea trees, and she should be able to buy a few acres when she walks.

After the first batch of tea is sold, she can then have the money to hire people to open a tea factory in the Jiangnan area to make tea, after all, the transportation conditions at this time are not good, there is no way to transport fresh tea leaves to Chang'an, you must go to the raw material production area to make tea, and the fresh tea leaves are made into dry and stored tea before they can be transported to Chang'an, the most prosperous commercial center of the Tang Dynasty, to sell.

Li Changan said goodbye to Shen Chu, and planned to go back to the palace after going to his pastry shop again, it was already mid-December, and it was close to the Chinese New Year, so she couldn't stay outside the palace for too long.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Shen Chu suddenly stopped Li Changan.

He took out a red envelope from his arms, handed it to Li Changan, and hesitated for a moment before squeezing out three words from between his teeth.

"New Year's money."

Li Changan took the red envelope stupidly, the weight of the red envelope was not too heavy, after all, Shen Chu was a poor scholar who couldn't even afford a new sheepskin jacket.

But this is New Year's money! This is the first time she has received New Year's money from her elders when she is five years old!

Shen Chu glanced down at Li Changan, and quickly looked away: "Datang has not yet given children the custom of pressing New Year's money, and it was not until Song that there was this custom of pressing New Year's money. ”

seems to be explaining why he gave Li Changan New Year's money, and it is also like simply giving her popular science and historical knowledge.

Li Changan was moved to tears, and hugged Shen Chu's waist.

"Teacher, I must take a good picture of my father's ass and pave a green cloud road for you! You will definitely be a doctor in five years and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in seven years! ”

Shen Chu: ......

Not necessarily.

But before Shen Chu could say anything more, Li Changan had already turned around and climbed into the carriage, looking at the carriage that was gradually moving away, the expression on Shen Chu's face became more and more sad.

According to this trend, should he not be arranged by Li Changan to go from spitting Yang Guozhong to becoming Yang Guozhong, right?

Li Chang'an was very mobile, and after she returned to the Changqing Palace, she quickly picked up a pen and paper and wrote a plan to find Concubine Wu Hui.

At the end of the year, there were many people in the Changqing Palace, and there was another small group of people in the main hall where Concubine Wu Hui was located, including men and women, most of whom were holding thin books and waiting for Concubine Wu Hui to ask.

Concubine Wu Hui was looking through an account book, and at the end of the year, she would also settle her income for this year.

However, compared with Li Changan's single income, Concubine Wu Hui's income composition is much more complicated. The palace concubine's money, the grange and land in her hands, the profits of various shops, and the filial piety of her officials, just counting the money and food income, Concubine Wu Hui had to be busy for a while.

Fortunately, Concubine Wu Hui has been doing these things for many years, and she is very skilled, so she is not in a hurry, but she just flips through the book unhurriedly, and occasionally asks the attendants around her to take an abacus and pen and paper to write it down carefully, and if there is something that is not clear, she directly asks these people waiting in the palace.

Just watched for a whole day, Concubine Wu Hui's face inevitably showed weakness, and when she looked up, she happened to see Li Changan who was looking in by the palace gate, she simply put down the thin book in her hand, and waved her hand to let these people go back first today and continue tomorrow.

After everyone inside and outside the palace saluted and retreated, Concubine Wu Hui beckoned Li Changan to come over.

"What are you doing there?"

Li Changan walked to Concubine Wu Hui's side in three steps and two steps, but did not throw himself into Concubine Wu Hui's arms as usual, but stood solemnly in front of Concubine Wu Hui.

"Auntie, I have a great idea to make money." Li Changan tried to make himself look more reliable.

It's a pity that no matter what a five-year-old does, she can't make a thirty-nine-year-old adult think she is reliable.

Concubine Wu Hui covered her mouth and let out two chuckles from between her fingers, obviously amused by Li Changan's appearance as a little adult.

"I'm serious." Li Changan stuffed several plans he wrote into Concubine Wu Hui's hands.

"Now is not the time for the tea tree to sprout, so for the time being, I can't come up with the finished product for A-Niang to taste, but when the tea tree grows buds in February next year, I can find someone to fry and knead the tea, and A-Niang will be how delicious the new version of tea will be." When the time comes, all the people in Datang will buy our tea, and we will have endless money! ”

To attract investment, we must vigorously boast about the prospects, regardless of how likely it is to realize, and only by boasting about the bright prospects can investors have the willingness to invest.

Concubine Wu Hui listened to Li Changan's extravagant boasting, and really became a little interested in her "earth-shattering" big deal, and she picked up the plan given to her by Li Changan.

"This word ......" Concubine Wu Hui looked at the ink characters of different sizes, and took a closer look, the writing was not irregular, the words with more strokes were larger, the words with fewer strokes were less, and the single stroke was also horizontal and vertical, but there was no wind at all, just write the words correctly.

"If there is a famous teacher to teach, An Niang's words will definitely be able to grow greatly." Concubine Wu Hui naturally wouldn't speak as bluntly as Shen Chu.

She knows the art of speaking.

People with high EQ will say that they will definitely make great progress, and people with low EQ will say that this word is really ugly.

"Then A-Niang is going to find me a teacher?" Li Changan climbed up the pole, she also felt that she should really practice calligraphy, now the five-year-old writing is the same as a dog's gnawing is reasonable, but if she writes so ugly in a few years, she can't say it.

Concubine Wu Hui smiled: "You are only five years old, you are not in a hurry to read, it is already good to be able to read all the words at this age...... But if you really like it, it's not bad to learn it in advance, and after the New Year, I'll find you a teacher from the Hongwen Museum to teach you. ”

Hongwen Hall is regarded as the Tang Dynasty Royal Academy, and most of the children of the royal family will study here. It's just that the student atmosphere has not been very good in recent years, and the students inside are all children of the royal family or the children of top elites, and the teachers who teach in Hongwenguan don't dare to care, so a few years ago, Li Longji ordered that the students of Hongwenguan should also take the exam according to the Guozijian routine, but because the students of Hongwenguan almost didn't need to take the imperial examination, the scriptures were halved.

It's just that according to the usual practice, the children who enter the Hongwen Pavilion to study are all fourteen years old or older, and Li Changan's five-year-old age is too young. Therefore, Concubine Wu Hui only planned to pick a school scrivener with better calligraphy and let him teach Li Changan for a period of time, and did not plan to let Li Changan enroll in school now.

This will be left aside in advance, and we will have to wait until the new year.

Concubine Wu Hui looked at the plan given to her by Li Changan, at first she just flipped through it casually, but later she was fascinated, although she couldn't understand some words, but she could guess it in context.

"That's a good idea." Concubine Wu Hui finished reading the plan, and looked up at Li Changan, who was nervously pinching the corners of her sleeves, "It's just that I haven't seen the new tea you said, and I don't know if it's a hundred times more delicious than tea soup as you said." ”

"But since it only costs fifty yuan, it doesn't hurt to invest it once." Concubine Wu Hui didn't care much about whether this business could be successful, she was glad that Li Changan was able to write such a well-organized plan by himself.

Could it be that after giving birth to a few stupid children who are not enlightened, she is finally going to have a daughter as smart as her?
