Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

So much so that both of them forgot that the dispute between the museum and the courtyard did not seem to be completely over yet.

No one knew why Li Yifu and others left the palace in such a hurry.

Since Liuyexuan set off the fashion of drinking tea, all kinds of teahouses have blossomed everywhere.

In the inner city of Chang'an City alone, there are nearly thirty teahouses.

It is not that there were no teahouses in the past, but unfortunately, most of them were difficult to adapt to the slightly stronger taste of sencha.

The herbal tea that has been passed down for hundreds of years is not liked by anyone.

With the rise of new-style teahouses, the leisure time of rich people is finally not just strolling on the street.

The Liu family has no secrets.

In such a huge tea market, it is impossible for one company to dominate.

It is impossible for ordinary people to drink the tea produced by Liu Yexuan, so the low-end market is left to others.

A teahouse in Tongshanfang is the favorite place of the surrounding people.

Influenced by Liu Yexuan, all teahouses are now named after "Xuan".

Yuzhuxuan, the price is close to the people, and the decoration is exquisite.

The most difficult thing was to hire a storyteller who had worked in Liu Yexuan for a while.

A bowl of tea costs only seven or eight renminbi, even if you can't refill the hot water, it's still hundreds of times cheaper than Liu Yexuan!

Of course, the story produced by Liu Yexuan cannot be told.

Some people have compiled stories such as "Journey to the West" and "The Complete Biography of the Eight Immortals" into volumes, which were published by Liu's Book Company.

Dare to say outside?

It will definitely be a lawsuit for several years!

Therefore, the teahouse outside, the current anecdote, or the playbook sold by others.

There were seven or eight people sitting next to the heater.

Li Yifu acted as a boy looking after the guests, pouring water for everyone one by one.

Tea is mediocre.

This dissatisfied Ma Zhou and the others, who were used to drinking the tea specially provided by the academy.

Scholars all have to stay up late to study hard, and there is no way to live without tea.

In the academy, three pennies can buy more than half a month's worth.

On the market, thirty guan may not be available for purchase.

This is also one of the many benefits for academy students.

"Treasurer Wang drinks tea!"

"Shopkeeper Liu drinks tea!"

""

Li Yifu finished pouring out the hot water, and casually threw it to the boy beside him.

If you want to talk about something serious, there is no place.

Big business, of course you have to look lavish!

Today, I specially reserved this Yuzhu Pavilion, just to let them see how arrogant the men of the academy are!

Of course, other places can't afford it either.

If it weren't for the playbook written by Shangguanyi, which is often used by Yuzhuxuan's storyteller, I'm afraid it would be powerless.

There were three shopkeepers present.

Qing Yishui is a big businessman who sells scholar's utensils.

And, they're all line heads!

In Chang'an City, the head of a business is naturally very honorable.

But compared to the officials, it is still eight blocks behind.

Among this group of students, the lowest official is the censor waiting for imperial edict of the seventh rank, and Li Yifu has even entered the sixth rank!

It's a pity that no matter how noble your status is, you can't be a silver flower.

Even Li Er is not always in debt.

What should be paid, always paid.

The head shopkeeper of the Four Treasures of the Study is the same white-haired old man who was blocking the entrance of the palace to ask for the bill.

"Master Li, this account can't be dragged on any longer. Out of our trust in the academy, we have confiscated the advance payment of a penny. Now hundreds of craftsmen gather around the door of the old man's house all day long. If we wait for a long time, it is estimated that it will be smashed." The door is robbed!"

The shopkeeper Wang said with grief, the creases on his face deepened a little.

Li Yifu said with a smile: "Today, I asked three leaders to come here, but there is another important matter to discuss!"

He glanced at the silent Li Annian.

Continued: "I'm going to order another two thousand sets of primary tools!"

Shopkeeper Wang was not surprised.

After all, the previous transactions far exceeded this figure.

"If the previous accounts can be settled clearly, there will be only [-] sets, and the delivery can be made in three days!"

Li Yifu shook his head and said: "The two thousand sets of equipment need to be provided by three people for free."

It can be seen that the three shopkeepers have suppressed their anger.

If it was someone else, they would have already slapped him!

I haven't seen a penny of the previous arrears, and I still want to ask for benefits?

Li Yifu's smile became more and more intense.

"If there are too many lice and don't bite people, the three of you know it too well. I owe you a total debt to all of you."

He turned to look at Ma Zhou.

"How much do you owe?"

Before Ma Zhou could reply, shopkeeper Liu at the side said coldly, "Seventy-four thousand guan!"

Li Yifu nodded and said: "Yes, there are only [-] guan in total."

Shopkeeper Wang couldn't bear it anymore.

He stood up abruptly, and said: "Master Li, [-] guan is a small amount in your opinion, but our business has a small market and low profit. This [-] guan is enough to buy us. The first one is dead!"

"Treasurer Wang, stay safe and don't be impatient"

Li Yifu and Ma Yiyi persuaded shopkeeper Wang to stop and sat down again.

"The three of you have also met. My academy shined brilliantly in today's competition between the library and the academy. It must not take a few days. Those students from the Hongwen Academy will definitely change to my academy. How many students are there?"

Shopkeeper Wang frowned, and said, "Master Li is right, but how sure are you that all the students will buy a set?"

Li Yifu smiled and rubbed his fingers.

"That depends on the sincerity of the leaders represented by the three of you."

Chapter 1167 Such a person must not be offended

The size of a business is mainly measured by the size of the market.

The market size is large enough, even a small iron ingot can make a lot of money.

The number of students in the academy is naturally enough.

Aside from the elites of the first session, starting from the second session, there will be nearly double the number of people in each session!

After the results of the recruitment examination come out, the number of people in the latest class will rise in a straight line!

If there is no accident, after the new enrollment, the number of students in the academy will reach a terrifying 6!

What is the concept of 6 people?

Today, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has approached its peak.

Population growth exploded, and the number of newborns increased nearly fivefold in just a few years.

During the reign of Wude, the lower counties were under [-] households, the middle counties were more than [-] households, and the upper counties were more than [-] households.

Even if it is calculated based on an ordinary family of four, the number of students in the academy is much larger than the population of Shangxian County!

In other words, if this business is successful, the profit will be enough to be measured by 'Wan Guan'!

Businesses such as the Four Treasures of the Study cannot be done at all.

After all, there are only a small number of scholars, but most of them come from aristocratic families.

They don't like ordinary goods, they always go to someone to order them, and even some rich families have craftsmen who specialize in making stationery!

Not to mention the profits are tens of thousands, even if the turnover is tens of thousands, it is enough to be called a rare big business!

Li Yifu's words carry a lot of weight.

"Of course, if you don't want to do it, I can cooperate with the Liu family as long as I can. I'm just worried that the Liu family won't like this small business, so I've been discussing with you for so long."

Li Yifu looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl.

He was sure of the mentality of these leaders.

In Chang'an City, there are nearly a hundred leaders, and they are the only ones who are poor.

Although Liu's Supermarket has a large cargo throughput, they are all purchased from the place of origin. Where can they find the source of goods from Chang'an?

After careful research, Li Yifu and the others believed that these leaders could not escape their grasp.

Li Annian cleared his throat, slowly picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

After putting it down gently, he opened his mouth and said: "Before you have delivered [-] sets of equipment, the money is a lot of money, and sooner or later it will fall into your pockets. However, if you want to cooperate for a long time, you still need to show sincerity. .”

What is sincerity?

Sincerity is credit first!

Shopkeeper Wang dared not neglect Li Annian.

It has been spread in Chang'an City that this little-known kid has played with all the old guys in Hongwen Museum.

He made it clear that he entered the academy through bribery, but he was completely unharmed!

Instead, the bribe-taker was sent to Dali Temple

Such a person must not be offended!

"Mr. Li, that's not what you said. The [-] sets of equipment before have been sold. The old man saw with his own eyes that the students who took the college entrance examination all used our things. You guys already have money. , why delay the wages of the old man and others?"

They really couldn't figure out why Li Yifu and the others insisted on not giving money?

What about suffocating?

Not very likely.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand, the prince's red stamp is stamped on the contract, this kind of thing can't be faked.

If you don't want money from them, at worst, go to the palace and ask the prince for it.

Li Yifu's attitude is still tough.

He looked at Shopkeeper Wang with a half-smile, and said, "To be honest, it's only tens of thousands of pennies. It's not enough to lose our reputation. If you really can't get it out, you can ask the prince or Mr. Liu for it." But what we need is always your sincerity!"

The three shopkeepers looked at each other.

After a while, shopkeeper Wang said with a wry smile: "If I can't pay the people below, I'm afraid I will be forced to death by them."

Li Yifu said noncommittally: "That's your problem."

The expressions of the shopkeeper Wang and the three became more and more bitter.

It's not like they're helpless.
