Li Xuan was speechless.
"Great Wang Mingjian, the cotton clothes workshop was only built out of white dippers, and made a living by making clothes. However, there were not many white dippers in the Tang Dynasty. Instead, they spun woolen thread for the Shaofu supervisor, and a catty of woolen thread cost five cents. And a catty of wool really needs three Wen!"
Cui Hongmo looked bitter.
"You are also the worst two among the children of the aristocratic family!"
Li Xuan sighed a little depressed.
"In a few days, when His Majesty has enough wool thread, you can directly sell the wool to you!"
"Your Majesty, I've thought of a good deal for the cotton-padded clothes workshop, so I'm here to ask your Majesty for permission!"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde said expectantly.
"Oh, what's the deal?"
Li Xuan was full of curiosity.
"Back to the king, it's tea!"
Cui Hongmo glanced at Li Xuan cautiously, and continued: "The tea leaves roasted by the king are easy to brew, with a delicate fragrance and elegant taste. If they are sold, many literati will love them. And those rich businessmen and dignitaries will buy them like crazy!"
"I don't know the king's intention?"
"Sell!"
Li Xuan waved his hand, his face full of surprise.
Tea!
It never occurred to him that the tea in his previous life was not only liked by literati, but also by 80-year-olds and ten-year-old children, even men and women, regardless of national boundaries.
Anyone likes it!
Moreover, it is written that the top-grade tea leaves cost tens of thousands, or even more than [-] a catty.
Now, how can a catty of roasted tea not be ten consistent?
"Thank you king!"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were overjoyed.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, with your tea, the two of us will definitely be able to sell these teas to all parts of the Tang Dynasty within a year!"
"Why is it all over the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly.
"I'm so stupid that I don't understand what the king means!" Zheng Mingde asked cautiously.
Li Xuan chuckled, and said slowly: "Since selling tea is to make money, why not sell it to Tubo, Goguryeo, and Turks? Even the Japanese can sell it!"
"My lord, those barbarians, how can they be worthy of drinking tea?"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde looked arrogant, full of disdain for those barbarian hozens.
Drinking tea, since ancient times, only the real nobles, literati and scholars can drink it.Those barbarian hozens outside of Tang Dynasty are not even qualified to stand aside and take a look!
This is the family's attitude towards those barbarians.
Some objects can be sold to those barbarians, but those belonging to literati, especially the pride of aristocratic families, barbarian hozen don't even have to think about it.
……
Chapter 241 Teaching People to Sell Tea!
"Why not?"
Li Xuan didn't understand the inexplicable pride in the hearts of these aristocratic families.
Still with a smile on his face, in his eyes, the money of those barbarian hozens is the best money, even those Japanese hozens who hate the most, as long as they don't come to the Tang Dynasty to steal culture and books.
It is fine to sell other living things.
However, the price will definitely be particularly reasonable.
"Your Majesty, how can such a precious and refined product as tea be sold to those barbarians?"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde looked anxious and hurried to dissuade them.
"You are going to use tea to sell money, as long as those barbarians can afford the money, we can sell them!"
Li Xuan said slowly, his tone unquestionable.
Seeing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde could not help but sigh lightly, and remained silent.
Now, His Majesty has not handed over the method of roasting tea leaves to them, and His Majesty is still the biggest owner of the cotton-padded clothes workshop, so what qualifications do they have to refute His Majesty?
We can only wait for the opening of the King's tea shop, and then ask the Supreme Emperor to come forward and persuade the King.
"Have you ever thought about the price of tea?"
Li Xuan didn't know that these two people were still ruthless at this moment.
"Back to Your Majesty, there are distinctions between high and low tea leaves. West Lake Longjing tea, Shezhou Huangshan Yunwu tea, and Dongting tea are all fairy teas in the world. The aroma of boiling is overflowing and frightening. This kind of tea is only available from our aristocratic family. Only the head of the family and the world's great Confucianism are eligible to drink!"
Speaking of tea, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde looked energetic again.
"The rest of the tea should belong to Jiazhou Emei, the tea is especially good!"
"On weekdays, the bamboo leaf green in Emei, Jiazhou is one or two consistent! Lake Longjing tea, Shezhou Huangshan Yunwu tea, Dongting tea and other teas are one or twenty consistent!"
"However, after being roasted by the king, Emei Bamboo Leaf Green, at least one or two or five guan, Hu Longjing tea, Shezhou Huangshan Yunwu tea, Dongting tea and other teas, one or two or twenty guan!"
"So expensive?"
After hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Your Majesty, those who make tea are literati and scholars, most of them are rich and powerful, and they are not very expensive!"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were surprised by Li Xuan's reaction.
"Since this king wants to sell tea, he should be able to drink it not only for the rich and powerful, but also for ordinary people, rich merchants and officials, and all the common people in the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Xuan frowned and said slowly.
Then, thinking of something, he continued to ask: "Such as Emei Zhuyeqing, do you know the cost of one or two tea leaves?"
"This?"
Both Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were taken aback.
After thinking for a while, he quickly replied: "My lord, the cost of a catty of tea should be about twenty Wen!"
"Twenty cents?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, "How dare you sell it for such a high price?"
Later, without waiting for Cui Hongmo to speak to Zheng Mingde, he said directly: "Emei Bamboo Leaf Green and Hulongjing Tea, Shezhou Huangshan Yunwu Tea, Dongting Tea and other teas can be sold at the price you said. But, you know, where are there Ordinary tea?"
"A more common tea?"
Cui Hongmo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "Your Majesty, there are many tea trees planted in Fuzhou, Minzhou and other places on Jiangnan Road. However, those teas are not as good as those teas such as Emei Zhuyeqing, Hulongjing tea, and Shezhou Huangshan Yunwu tea. , there is a world of difference!"
"This king wants this kind of tea!"
Li Xuan looked happy, and said: "You can find more of this kind of tea, make low-end tea, and sell it. For example, tea from Fuzhou and Fujian can be sold for fifty or one hundred yuan per catty.
On top of it, there are tea leaves that are one catty one guan, ten guan teas per catty, or even one hundred guan teas per catty.
Since you want to make tea, among the teas you sell, you should not only have tea that the rich and powerful can drink, but also tea that farmers in the village can afford.Let the tea be sold all over the Tang Dynasty, even in the barbaric lands of the four directions.
When everyone in the Tang Dynasty drank tea, the only tea merchants they thought of were you and others.In this way, this can be regarded as a tea seller! "
"Your Majesty, is this really the case?"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde who listened directly to Li Xuan's words were filled with enthusiasm and excitement.
Become famous all over the world!
This kind of temptation is the most deadly to them.
As for the tea merchants, Shanjar!
They don't care either, if they get involved with such an elegant thing as tea, it is also an elegant merchant, and it will not humiliate their family.
"How could this king deceive you?"
Li Xuan's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Think about it, as long as you can sell millions of catties of tea every year, all the people in the Tang Dynasty will have the opportunity to drink it. Even some road merchants When you are thirsty, go into a tea shop, spend a penny, and drink a sip of hot tea.
In every city, there are teahouses opened, some people have nothing to do, and spend a few pennies inside to drink a few cups of hot tea.
With such an elegant thing, the name of you will spread.
As for those dignitaries and aristocratic families, you will fry famous teas such as Emei Zhuyeqing, Hulongjing tea, and Huangshan Yunwu tea in Shezhou after the roasting is completed.
Grading again, the better the quality, the better the packaging, and the more expensive the price.And those nobles from aristocratic families will naturally buy the most expensive tea, which is the tea that suits their status.
And the remaining tea leaves are expensive, but rich businessmen can still afford to buy them.Those wealthy businessmen will also grit their teeth and buy a few taels, specially entertaining distinguished guests, or using them as gifts.
In this way, you can sell cheaply, and the common people praise you.
You sell it expensively, and those nobles from aristocratic families often talk about you..."
Hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde couldn't help but be filled with enthusiasm.
The two of them were separated from their respective families, and they were going to claim to be of the same line, and they were not officials. They had the cheek to join the King Jin's sect as a merchant. What was the reason for?
Isn't it because His Royal Highness Jin Wang has the ability to turn decay into magic, and has the means of a fairy.
"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, the two of us will definitely sell tea to the people of the world according to Your Majesty's method!"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde saluted Li Xuan solemnly.
"Well, very good!"
Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Continued: "You need to remember that tea is not only for leisure and elegance. Drinking tea can also prevent diseases, beautify, protect skin, and even prevent heatstroke, refresh the mind and improve eyesight... There are many benefits!"
"Drinking tea has such an effect!"
Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo were once again surprised.
"naturally!"
Li Xuan looked serious, "Drinking tea, the most important point, can strengthen the yang and last for a long time!"
"what?"
Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo couldn't help but widen their eyes again. While shocked, there was a hint of joy in their eyes.
"My lord, is this true?"
"Do you think this king is lying to you?"
Li Xuan's expression immediately sank.
"Forgive me, my lord. I just didn't expect that drinking tea would have such an effect. I was shocked and lost my temper!"
Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted with apologetic faces.
"These effects, when you sell tea, you can also advertise it!"
Li Xuan said indifferently.
"Follow the orders of the king!"
This time, Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo did not dare to question Li Xuan's words, they nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then went back to the inner room, and started to write!
After a while, a piece of paper full of handwriting was handed over to Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo.
The two took it carefully, as if holding some incredible treasure, glanced at it, and quickly folded it away.
Afterwards, he hurriedly said goodbye.
