In this era, what matters is the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. If you find your eldest grandson Pingting, won't you make her look bad?
Sure enough, it was almost as expected by Li Xiang. Changsun Pingting didn't come out at all. Li Xiang and Wang De were here, especially since Wang De followed. It must be related to Lu Dongzan. Changsun Chong couldn't do anything by himself. Changsun Pingting
Ting said she felt unwell.
"You were fine when you had lunch just now. Why are you feeling unwell now? Have you called a doctor?"
Changsun Chong was so crazy that he actually said this. Fortunately, Li Xiang is not an outsider. If he were an outsider, I don’t know how people would laugh at you. It’s hard for Changsun Wuji to give birth to a big Yin man.
With such a brainless son, it is no wonder that after the death of Changsun Wuji, there was no successor in the entire Changsun Mansion.
"Then just wait for my uncle for a while. There's nothing going on anyway."
Li Xiang didn't want Changsun Chong to continue tormenting him. After all, this guy was now in his own camp. He was embarrassed in front of Wang De. Li Xiang's face didn't look good. Hearing what Li Xiang said, Changsun
Chongye asked his servant to go down and took out a small bag of tea leaves.
Li Xiang has already ordered people to start frying tea. Although the technology is not very good, it is much better than the traditional Chinese medicine tea of this era.
In this era, tea was almost made from soaked leaves. How could this taste be any better? Even if the tea brewed by Li Xiang had an average taste, it was still excellent for the children of high-ranking officials in the capital.
"When will this thing of yours be launched on the market? We are still waiting. After drinking this flavor, don't expect us to drink the same tea again. If we go out to drink plain water, we will not drink that tea.
"
Changsun Chong saw less and less, and he was a little worried in his heart. You must know that nobles do not drink plain water. If you drink plain water, others will laugh if you tell them, but the tea samples you gave are only so small.
Even if you save on drinking every day, it will last about half a month at most.
What Li Xiang wants is your mentality. He will give you part of it first so that you can develop a habit. When the tea comes on the market, the price will no longer be a joke. You people have already formed a habit. If you are not willing to pay for it,
If your own habits pay the bill, you can only drink traditional Chinese herbal tea or plain water. Anyway, we will spare no effort in calculating your wallet.
"Is this tea delicious?"
Li Xiang did not answer the question, but asked a question.
"It's super unnecessary to say this. You gave a copy to all our brothers. Now we all treat it like a treasure. If it weren't for the distinguished guests, we wouldn't be willing to take it out at all."
Changsun Chong was telling the truth. Although the palace also received some, the quantity was extremely rare. Wang De was considered a prominent figure in the palace. His own share was not as large as Changsun Chong's. The empresses in the palaces also received very few.
.
If there are tributes from various places, Wang De is not lacking. After all, he is the chief eunuch in the palace. Even if it is a rare thing shipped from the border area, he can get a share before he meets the emperor.
, so he has no shortage of all kinds of gadgets, but the tea and perfume that Li Xiang paid tribute were taken directly to the palace and did not go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at all, so Wang De had no chance to take advantage of them.
Er also looked at Li Xiang eagerly, wanting to ask Li Xiang when he would start selling it.
"Even you think it tastes good. You can imagine how difficult the craftsmanship of this thing is. I have already asked my people to step up, but the output is extremely limited. Instead of selling it, I might as well give it to you.
The main reason is that the output cannot increase at all, and the output is only a few dozen kilograms a month..."
Li Xiang didn't even blush when he lied. There were already tens of thousands of kilograms in the warehouse, but he reduced the output hundreds of times in an instant. Although it sounds like a few kilograms is not a small amount, there are too many dignitaries in Chang'an City.
, even if a person pays two kilograms, it will cost several thousand kilograms, not to mention that there are many capable people outside Chang'an City who can also afford the price.
Besides, tea and wine are not the same. You may not drink wine every day, but you must drink tea every day. People need to drink water every day. Men like to drink wine, but women may not be able to drink it. But
Women also need to drink water, so the sales volume must be much higher than that of wine.
"You can pull it off. We are all our own people. Don't I know what's going on? You must just want to sell it at a high price. Let me tell you the truth, take the current tea as an example. It costs 100 guan per pound outside.
, someone will definitely buy it.”
Changsun Chong's meaning is very obvious, that is, you have now obtained this price, there is no need to hide it, if you want to make a profit, taking it out now is the best opportunity.
After hearing Chang Sun Chong's feedback, Li Xiang had an idea. It is said that this price is already acceptable, but Li Xiang needs to gather a large amount of funds, so he will have to wait for a while. It is estimated that it will be able to reach 120 yuan in a while.
A pound of money.
While a few people were talking, Changsun Wuji had already come back from outside. There were a lot of things going on in the yamen recently, so Changsun Wuji had to come back in the afternoon. Many officials even had to work overtime there at night. This is also the case with recent times.
It has something to do with more adjustments.
"I agree that Tubo wants to marry me, the Tang Dynasty, but your cousin has never left the Tang Dynasty..."
After all, they are biological father and daughter. Although Changsun Wuji doesn't care much about his daughter's life, if he can let his daughter stay in Chang'an, he still hopes to stay in Chang'an. After all, after arriving in Tubo, this means that they will never see each other again in this life.
There have been marriages with women in the past, and the moment they left Chang'an City, that was the last time they met.
In this era, medicine is not very developed. Traveling from one place to another can often lead to death due to acclimatization. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, the distance between the two places is too far. It takes nearly a year to travel between places.
At that time, if there is nothing important, no one would choose to visit relatives.
Wang De only had ears. He was responsible for reporting to Li Shimin, but he was not responsible for expressing opinions casually. Li Xiang did have a mouth, but he did not dare to express opinions at this time. He did not know what Changsun Pingting was thinking.
What is it, so you can't say anything nonsense in front of Wang De, of course it has something to do with his guilty conscience...
