I have a backstage in Datang

Everyone stood dumbfounded.

After a long time, the man just now made a movement, bowed his hands suddenly, and said with a very solemn expression, "This poem from the end of the world is better than me by a million. Although your words are not elegant, your artistic conception is extremely profound!"

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed with emotion, turned his head to look at the kiln mouth, and murmured: "It's a good sentence, 'Women don't care about the burnt hair', and a good sentence, 'It's like the smoke floating on the stove', it turns out that the denseness in our eyes The beautiful scenery is not considered a beautiful thing by the common people. A group of women are working hard to burn the kiln, doing the work that can only be done by a strong man. When the alternate white mist sprayed, they seemed to see the smoke rising from their homes... Why did they see the smoke rising? Because they earned wages to buy food."

Although this person came from a noble family, he is worthy of the elegance of a literati. He interpreted Gu Tianya's revised poems without any deviation or mistake.

He looked at the fire kiln from a distance, looked at the busy women in front of the kiln, sighed suddenly for some reason, and said softly: "Actually, I really hope that the people can eat enough."

Gu Tianya was slightly taken aback, then suddenly looked at him with deep meaning, and said, "If everyone in the world is like this..."

It's a pity that he only spoke half of what he said. The scribe suddenly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How is this possible? I'm just talking. The family has been passed down for thousands of years, and I'm used to being a master. Frozen to death, Gu Tianya, don't think too highly of me. I can only sympathize with the common people, but I will still squeeze when it's time to squeeze. The reason is very simple. I am a member of a family. Even if I don't enjoy happiness for myself, I It must also be for the benefit of the family."

Gu Tianya sighed, nodded and said: "This is for each to defend his own way, strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong."

He paused while talking, then suddenly glanced at the scribe again, and said, "But your two words just now made me admire your mind very much. You can have the bells and tripods, and if you don't keep frozen dead bones, can you Saying these two sentences is already considered a very good family."

The scribe also sighed, and said, "All I can do is talk."

Gu Tianya suddenly looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "But I have remembered this, and I will definitely protect you in the future."

The scribe was startled for a moment, then shook his head slowly, and said with the same solemn expression: "Even if 1000 years have passed, the members of the family don't need you to protect them."

The two were fighting with each other, each talking about their own ideas, Gu Tianya took a deep look at him, and did not continue to argue with him.

Instead, the scribe spoke again, seeming to be curious about the brick kilns, and asked aloud, "These five brick kilns don't look very big, how many green bricks can be burned in a day?"

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, stretched out three fingers and said, "Three thousand bricks."

hiss!

Everyone present gasped.

The scribe obviously didn't believe it, and subconsciously said: "Isn't it six hundred per kiln? This output is absolutely impossible."

Gu Tianya laughed, and said: "The bricks fired are not green bricks, but a kind of red bricks, which are smaller in size and less hard, so the output is superior, and the most important thing is that the cost is low."

Everyone quickly asked: "Could it be that the texture is worse than blue bricks? What else can it be used for?"

Gu Tianya smiled again, and said: "Although they can't be used to build cities, they can be used to build houses. Because of the complicated process, the cost of green bricks is difficult to suppress. Except for aristocratic families who use them when building houses, even wealthy families can't afford them." , but the cost of red bricks is low, even poor people can afford it, which means that the sales volume will be very large..."

More than just big?

It's in demand all over the world.

The aristocratic families present were all human beings, and their eyes were clearly shining. When they looked at the brick kiln again, it seemed that what they saw was no longer a piece of red brick.

But piles of copper coins.

Finally someone couldn't bear it anymore, and said tentatively, "Brother Gu is willing to take us here for a tour, obviously there is no intention of hiding it..."

Gu Tianya smiled and said nothing.

The man suddenly hesitated, but unfortunately he couldn't bear it in the end, and said in a low voice: "I don't know how to make red bricks, so it's convenient to promote it?"

Gu Tianya gave him a meaningful look.

The man immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "We don't shy away from our greed, we really want to run this business, but Brother Gu, you should also understand that the aristocratic family has not always been vicious. If we run this business, we can also benefit the people. Seeking good fortune. The reason is very simple, we are powerful, not only will we open brick kilns with large sums of money, but we will also hire a large number of hired workers, which will benefit many people and earn food through working..."

He paused for a while while talking, and then added: "Besides, there are benefits. The family opened a large number of brick kilns, and the output of red bricks will inevitably increase dramatically. The cost must be lower, and the selling price must be cheaper. Our aristocratic family has made money, but the people of the world have saved money, so everyone can afford to live in a brick house, isn't that exactly what Brother Gu wants..."

This man is really a good lobbyist, and his rhetoric is simply reasonable.

Gu Tianya seemed to be moved by him, and there was a faint longing on his face.

Everyone at the scene was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "We are willing to invest [-] guan to buy the secret recipe for making red bricks. Brother Gu, you should know that this thing is actually not particularly magical. We saw red bricks today, and we can do it after we go back. Let the craftsmen figure out its firing method. The craftsmen of the family have deep experience and can easily figure out the key points. But we are still willing to pay for it, because buying the secret recipe is a rule handed down from ancient times. This is a kind of Respect, Brother Gu must understand..."

Sure enough, Gu Tianya nodded, but quickly shook his head again, and said: "Red bricks are really easy to imitate, so it is a symbolic rule to pay for the secret recipe. It is said that five hundred guan is not a lot. I, Gu Tianya, should not continue Be greedy again, but..."

"But what?"

Everyone present was obviously in a hurry, waiting eagerly for Gu Tianya to express his opinion.

Only Li Shimin suddenly looked weird, he always felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.

Sure enough, I saw Gu Tianya let out a long sigh, as if his heart was full of deep guilt, and said: "But the secret recipe of red bricks is an ancestral item of my Gu family. When I first developed the red bricks, I must have poured my ancestors' painstaking efforts. If I sell it so cheap Isn’t it a disappointment to the painstaking efforts of our ancestors?”

He stopped here for a while, then suddenly changed his tone, and said: "But you are all my good friends. If the aristocratic family manages the red bricks, it will indeed benefit the people. For the sake of my ambition, I can only be ashamed. Grandparents, I decided to sell this red brick recipe to you, but..."

"I have to pay more!"

This time it wasn't what Gu Tianya said, but Li Shimin who was next to him suddenly said, Li Shimin seemed to be very proud of his smile, because finally someone was depressed with him, pointing at Gu Tianya and laughing: "This kid is best at this , whoever asks him to buy things will have to pay more, if my king's guess is correct, your bids will have to be doubled at least."

Everyone was obviously a little dazed, looking at Gu Tianya as if wanting to prove it.

But seeing Gu Tianya's upright face, he said earnestly: "The main reason is that I don't want the hard work of my ancestors to go to waste, so I raised the price a little bit. If the six of you pool together a thousand pennies, our deal can be concluded."

Sure enough, it really doubled.

The aristocratic family at the scene stood there for a long while, and suddenly the scribe smiled wryly, pointed at Gu Tianya and said, "You are the one who changed the words into poems, you are the one who has the people in your heart, and now you are a businessman with a bad reputation, what is surprising is you, brother of the Gu family, you look It's not like being honest and honest on the surface."

Gu Tianya showed his face and smiled, smiling like a spring breeze, and said: "If you can agree, I am willing to sell another secret recipe. But I have to remind everyone first, that secret recipe must sell at least [-] guan..."

Everyone present was startled, and suddenly looked at Gu Tianya with burning eyes.

What kind of secret recipe is it?

How dare you open your mouth and call out the sky-high price of [-] guan!

……

... The first update arrives, 3200 words.Recommended reading: "Read Files 2013"

Chapter 108 [There is a strategy to let you jump into the trap actively]...2 more

One hundred thousand guan, this is not a small amount of money.

Even to raise a black armor cavalry, the number of people must be at least 500.

So this number is very scary, but all the aristocratic families present have serious expressions. The scribe spoke first, and said in a deep voice: "If there is a secret recipe worth hundreds of thousands, our Qinghe Cui family will never bargain with you. How much to pay."

The other five families followed suit, and almost everyone had the same meaning, solemnly saying: "We are also willing to spend our own money, instead of putting together a thousand strings like buying red bricks."

This is to first agree to double the price of the red brick, regardless of whether it is real or not, it will be sold to Gu Tianya first.

The family is not a fool, on the contrary they are very shrewd. If there is a secret recipe worth a hundred thousand, they will definitely buy it without hesitation.

Because this kind of sky-high price secret recipe must have great benefits.

There are six aristocratic families, each with 60 yuan. If the transaction is successful, Gu Tianya can get [-] yuan in one go.

He quarreled with Li Shimin and won three thousand war horses. The four small furnaces in Gujia Village can make steel. After selling the secret recipe, he can raise an extremely elite black armored cavalry.

He knew that Zhaoning had been looking forward to this.

……

However, he said that the aristocratic families present were all talented people, and they were all good at the art of observing words and expressions. Suddenly, Zheng Guanyu was the first to speak, and asked tentatively: "Brother Gu, are you selling the secret recipe of the iron industry?"

He didn't wait for Gu Tianya to open his mouth, and then he approached him again: "Little brother came here as a guest today and saw a stove behind the post station. I asked the postmen about the stove, and they didn't hide anything from me. , Instead, he took out a horizontal knife and showed it to me, my little brother was so greedy, I dare to ask brother-in-law Gu, is this the secret recipe you want to sell?"

The aristocratic family is very shrewd, they act with interests in mind, sometimes they are ruthless, and sometimes they will talk about family affection. Although this Zheng Guanyu was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, his sister is the concubine Li Jiancheng, so he is the representative to replace the present. Everyone negotiated with Gu Tianya.

It's a pity that Gu Tianya hadn't opened his mouth yet, when he suddenly heard Li Shimin say quietly, "Tieye, mine!"

He only said four words, but what he said was extremely resolute, even with a trace of murderous intent, highlighting his determination to monopolize the iron industry.

But the families present were not afraid.

I saw Zheng Guanyu turned his head to look at Li Shimin, never said that he called his second brother beforehand, and then he smiled and talked about family affection: "Second brother, you are General Tiance, and you are in charge of the Datang army. The Tiance Mansion is powerful, but that is just the strength of the army formation, if it comes to the way of business, hehehehe..."

He didn't go any further, but everyone could understand the hidden meaning.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin smiled suddenly, and said with deep meaning: "Don't forget, the Li family used to be a powerful family."

Zheng Guanyu was startled for a moment.

Yes, the Li family used to be a powerful family.

And it's still a very powerful gate valve.

But seeing Li Shimin with his hands behind his back, he said slowly, "There are also people from aristocratic families in my king's Tiance Mansion. Although the Tiance Mansion is in charge of military affairs, it does not hinder our business, especially the iron industry. Together, it is even more impossible for this king to let go. The people who use this thing are weapons, and the army is used as soldiers. It is like a sword with double edges, which can hurt others as well as yourself, so it cannot be held in your hands, because This is the bottom line of the Tang royal family."

The aristocratic families present are all smart people, how could they fail to understand Li Shimin's meaning?

Iron is something that must be controlled by the state.

Otherwise, the aristocratic family will control the iron industry, and they will definitely disregard the country for the sake of profit. As long as someone gives money, they dare to sell things to any foreign tribe.

That is the enemy.

At this time, Gu Tianya finally spoke, without saying anything beforehand, he just smiled, and said to everyone: "It's snowing tonight, let's have a cup of tea together, you are here today as guests, Tianya should treat you, let's stop standing here, Come and taste my tea together..."

He deliberately put the word 'tea' very seriously.

Everyone is so shrewd, and Zheng Guanyu was the first to blurt out, almost subconsciously: "Could it be suppressed by tea bricks?"

After speaking, he suddenly shook his head, overturning his own guess, and said: "No, no, the method of suppressing tea bricks has long existed, so the secret recipe that Brother-in-law Gu wants to sell is definitely not tea."

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya laughed and said, "Then you are wrong, what I sell is tea."

He stretched out his hand to invite, and took the lead to lead the way. Everyone looked at each other and followed curiously.

After a short time, we arrived at the post station. At this time, the post station has begun to take shape, with a courtyard on the left and right sides.Among them, the courtyard on the left is huge, and stone troughs for stables are built in it, while the courtyard on the right is lined with houses.

Everyone observed it, and someone said with emotion, "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. A military post station covers so many places. It even sets up an inn to facilitate businessmen and merchants. It can be seen that Brother Gu has a lot of hills and valleys in his chest, and he is far from an ordinary poor background." comparable……"

Having said that, he paused for a while, and then said: "But this is also the reason why we opposed it at the beginning, and the establishment of the station will rob the aristocratic family of their local rights."

Gu Tianya was noncommittal, just smiled, and said speciously: "There is no one-size-fits-all statement about the affairs of the world. In the future, the aristocratic family may not want to control the local power."

Everyone laughed and did not continue to argue. Today is to ease the stalemate, and the two sides will not glare at each other because of their ideas.

Gu Tianya also stopped arguing and led the crowd directly into the inn.

Only then did everyone realize that there were already people in the inn, but they were two charming and different women who were boiling water around a small stove.

Everyone knew the two women, and there was a strange look on their faces.

Only Zheng Guanyu shrank his head, as if he was habitually terrified, but it turned out that the two women were Xiaoqing Xiaorou, who used to beat him up with Zhaoning.

As a result, the son of the Zheng family in Xingyang has a shadow in his heart.

However, the others had no psychological shadow. Everyone's attention was completely attracted by something, which was some porcelain cups as white as snow, and there was a small red pot beside them.

Suddenly hearing Gu Tianya chuckle, he walked over to pick up the kettle on the small stove, then opened the small kettle, and brewed it gracefully.

All of a sudden, there is a hint of fragrance in the air, very soft and light, if you don't pay attention carefully, you may even think it is an illusion.

But because everyone was paying attention, it was impossible not to notice this fragrance.

It wasn't until this time that Gu Tianya spoke leisurely, saying: "Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, since ancient times, tea is boiled tea, with various condiments added, it is quite fragrant to drink, but I thought that cooking The tea has lost its flavor..."

He paused while talking, and then said: "At the end of spring last year, Hebei was in short supply. I was too hungry, so I went into the mountains to find something to eat. I found a wild tea tree and picked it by myself. Some of the tea leaves were brought home because my ancestors had left a secret recipe, which was to make clear tea by frying. I wanted to sell the clear tea for money, but I didn’t dare to sell it after thinking about it.”

Everyone understood what he said.

If he had sold it at that time, he might be a dead man now.Even if he hadn't been killed, he might have been arrested and directly beaten into a slave, responsible for roasting tea.

The aristocratic families present are well aware of this kind of cruelty.It is also because he knows it well, so it is difficult to speak for a while.

Fortunately, Gu Tianya didn't continue talking, but stretched out his hand as if inviting, and said with a smile: "Everyone, would you like to have a taste?"

In fact, the six members of the aristocratic family had been expecting him to speak for a long time. Hearing the words, he hurriedly raised the teacup. Before drinking tea, he looked at the teacup first. Sell?"

Gu Tianya was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "Porcelain is my own business, and it will be a unique industry in the future. Even if the Tang royal family wants to take a share, I will not agree to their request."

He paused while talking, and said with deep meaning: "This is Zhaoning's meaning, she wants to leave the children with food."

Everyone wanted to insist at first, but when they heard the words, they all stopped. Zheng Guanyu subconsciously glanced at Zhaoning, and smiled awkwardly: "Since sister Xiuning wants to keep a piece of property, we will naturally not covet this teacup again."

After saying this, he seemed rather depressed, but after he took a sip of the tea, a strong surprise burst out on his face.

He suddenly looked at Gu Tianya, his eyes were full of eagerness, and he only wanted to say that we, the Zheng family in Xingyang, want to buy it.

All the rest of the people were like this, even Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had expressions of emotion on their faces.

Gu Tianya suddenly laughed, and directly gave the answer that everyone wanted, saying: "The tea industry can be widely promoted. In order to make money, you must plant a large number of tea trees. Tea is not only needed by the Han people. This will hire many people and give them money. Bring benefits, because the people can benefit, so I am willing to sell the secret recipe..."

This is what it means to talk to everyone about adding money.

Since it involves business, it has to be bargained. Although the people present are eager in their hearts, they are trying to find an excuse in their mouths.

For example, Zheng Guanyu said: "The reason why you are willing to sell the secret recipe is mainly because of your lack of strength. If the tea industry wants to promote it, it must be widely planted, but how many acres of land do you have? It depends on your ability to do it. Can't afford tea..."
