Chapter 419 The House Consort Made a Lot of Money
The weather is getting colder and snow is falling in Chang'an again.
Since the Chinese New Year is coming, many Hu merchants came to Chang'an. These Hu merchants brought some plateau wine and mutton, which were quite popular in Chang'an.
Now Chang'an is the center of the world. Most of the neighboring countries with better than Chang'an will send people to worship. Due to the relationship between Hu and merchants, many Chang'an items were also sent to all parts of the world along the Silk Road. M.
Mingdatang’s liquor is very popular!
Speaking of white wine, it is more or less shocking.
When Fang Jun was brewed, he was silent and not liked by many scholars. However, as time went by, Fang Jun's liquor gradually became popular, making him a lot of money.
On this day, Li Shimin was shocked when he heard Changsun Wuji say that Fang Jun made a flying fire and spent tens of thousands of yuan, and he was very surprised and asked someone to investigate Mingdatang's liquor.
However, if you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.
Fang Jun didn't know when it was, so he had contacted a large number of Hu merchants and had long sold liquor to Tubo, Western Regions and Tianzhu countries.
Nowadays, the winery built outside Chang'an is brewing liquor day and night, and there is no shortage of supply. Therefore, the price of liquor has risen sharply, and a small can of 50 or 60 guan can be sold, which is simply a huge profit among huge profits.
Li Shimin was immediately shocked.
incredible!
"This is just the beginning. Changan winery has not continued to grow bigger. If it continues to grow bigger, the money will be even more!"
"Currently, the profit of Chang'an winery is divided equally by the three companies, namely the Prince's East Palace, Duke Lu and the Fang family's Prince Consort's Mansion. With the surge in the price of Shenxian Drink, the three families have made a lot of money!"
"The three families are evenly divided? When did it happen?" Li Shimin was surprised and specially asked Gao Shilian to ask about this matter.
He was the Shangshu Youpushe, Kaifuyi and the three departments, and has been in Chang'an, so he is quite familiar with this matter.
"It was decided last year. It was indeed the three families who divided the money evenly, but even so, the Fang family's Prince Consort's Mansion made a lot of money, which is far from what ordinary people can imagine! Now, in addition to the gods drinking white wine, the Prince Consort's Mansion also makes a lot of money, such as the Tang Dynasty Times. This money may not be much at first glance, but after careful calculation, it is indeed a huge number!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but walk in the imperial study with his hands behind his back, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"So, he has opened up the business road to the Western Regions, and even has someone to transport the liquor to India. How did he do it?"
"At the beginning of the year, he contacted many Hu merchants and gave them some silver to let them move around! It is probably because of this trick that his liquor was sold well in several countries! Tianzhu is not the most important thing, but the most important thing is actually Tubo. It is the most requested there. At present, 500 cans are sent out every day and specially transported to Tubo! This thing has received the love of many Tubo nobles, and they all praised it."
When Li Shimin heard this, his mind couldn't help but jump.
Five hundred bottles, fifty guan per bottle, 25,000 guan a day, which is still the smallest, and he has other things.
"I remember that when he wanted to make wine last year, I was a little reluctant. I didn't expect that this kid could actually make the liquor to this level!"
Gao Shilian nodded and said, "I guess he was afraid of consuming too much food, so the prince-consort of the house adopted other strategies to sell wine, such as using grain for wine. Therefore, the workshop in Chang'an can operate continuously. Now there are more than 200 brewers over there, specifically dealing with this matter for the prince-consort's mansion!"
"So, this is indeed a lot of money! I haven't thought that this can make so much money! Haha, it seems that I'm going to go to the Prince Consort's Mansion!"
"Your Majesty! The Battle of Goguli has just been completed, and the national treasury is in great deficit. Although Fang's prince consort has made great contributions to Goguli's battle, he should have shared the worries of the Tang Dynasty!" Gao Shilian said with a smile.
"Well, he should have been like this! He actually gave the three ingredients to Duke Lu and the three ingredients to the Prince's Mansion. It was a waste! Think about it seriously, how could Duke Lu and the Prince's Mansion need to share so much money? I am the lord of the Tang Dynasty, so he never thought about me? It's really hateful!"
Gao Shilian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, according to me, the white wine seems to have just begun. At present, only the prince consort in the world can brew it, and no one else can do it, so he can make a fortune. If he can make a little money and include it in the national treasury, then we don't have to be stuck in the handling of things!"
"It's not just that liquor, but other things! I think he's earned a lot of silver. If the auxiliary machine hadn't mentioned this, I might not have realized it! Fang Yiai likes to hide it!"
Li Shimin laughed excitedly and said, "Now I am short of money, I don't care about anything else! Even though he has made great contributions, how can he not give his father-in-law the reason if he has money? Shilian, do you think so? "
Gao Shilian was happy and smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Now I found out that the liquor made a lot, what else do you have?" Li Shimin was immediately interested.
"There are even more others!" Gao Shilian smiled and said, "If you don't check these things, you will be shocked if you check them! Does Your Majesty still remember that the prince-consort built a loom?"
"This... made a lot of money?" Li Shimin was suspicious.
"I specially asked someone to look for some cloth shops. Fang Fuma's loom is extremely powerful and can produce 10,000 pieces of fabric per day. Now he accounts for at least 30% of Chang'an's business, so this is naturally a huge number!"
Gao Shilian nodded.
"This loom looks simple, but no one can match it when it works. With this alone, I'm afraid he will earn a lot of money again!"
"Tsk tsk!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but gasp, his eyes even more excited.
"There are more! I want to see how much money he has made?"
"In addition to the loom, he also asked someone to improve papermaking technology, and combined papermaking technology with the Tang Dynasty News Agency's time bureau, and made a lot of money! What's more, it's not about restaurants, small things like Songhua eggs and Luohan Fruit. In this area, Fang Mausoleum is definitely a genius!"
Li Shimin was excited and walked around the imperial study room for a while, smiling and said, "No wonder he kept yelling to build a big lucky ship! I also said that the price of building a big lucky ship is more than ten times that of an ordinary ship. Where did he get the money? It turns out that it is here! Yes, and I also rewarded many golden seeds to Jinyang, and Jinyang also won a lot of money..."
"So, the money of the Prince Consort Fang is indeed beyond some people's imagination. Your Majesty may be able to have a good chat with him!"
"Haha, we have to talk about this naturally! He should give me a little more equality, how can one be alone? I am the lord of a country. But..." Li Shimin smiled, paused again, and his face began to be serious: "What do you think you should deal with Xiao Yu's affairs?"
"This matter..." Gao Shilian was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly became solemn. After thinking about it, he sighed and said, "Your Majesty should deal with it impartially and not be favored by personal feelings, otherwise it may cause turmoil in the court!"
