1629 Imperial Capital(1/2)
They only have a share of one thousand catties per month. This one thousand catties is a profit of five to six million gold coins. This amount definitely surprises them. Now Yitian has given them all the tasks of the Kahuan County Branch.
You can throw away all your work. Even if your place stops functioning, what will happen? It only costs you a hundred thousand gold coins a month to bring it down. But if you can get more tea, this will be a big deal.
Now Yitian has opened a trade route to the Southern Empire. They are preparing to transport all the tea leaves to the Southern Empire. The purchase price here is only three hundred gold coins and one tael. When passing the customs, add three more gold coins.
In the Southern Empire, they could sell it for as low as 1,500 gold coins per tael, but that was in the past. Now there are too many people in the Southern Empire ordering goods from them, and many people just wait with their gold tickets.
Here, if you don't sell a tael of 2,000 gold coins, we can give you 2,500 gold coins. We have plenty of money, but my throat can't stand it. After drinking a little of that tea, I can't drink other tea leaves at all. Good guy.
Anyone who drinks such delicious tea will feel that the boiled tea is similar to horse urine. If you don’t believe this, try it yourself.
"We have all heard about what Mr. Li did after he arrived in Yuncheng County. It's really amazing. Yuncheng County has been like that for hundreds of years. We old guys thought it would always be like that.
"Yes, we didn't expect that Mr. Li would have changed the place in less than a few days. It really surprised us." The big shopkeeper said with a smile. But they had no tea for Li Cong to drink. He couldn't even drink it in the place of origin.
When it comes to tea, you think about how valuable this tea is, but Li Cong is not interested in their kind of brewed tea at all, so he directly asked for a cup of boiled water. You have this thing, but they Yitian thought it was very useless.
Face, but Li Cong didn't think that drinking plain water was normal on earth.
"Well, how should I put it? It's hard to do anything now. You don't know the things behind my achievements over there. I worked hard to get it, and it's not just a matter of time.
Just a few words can get things done." Li Cong said with a smile. These shopkeepers were smiling just now, but they stopped laughing now. Li Cong also told them, don't think that just because you talk about this source of goods.
I can give it to you. This matter must be of some substance. I could have sold it to others, so why should I sell it to you? Didn’t I offend other customers? It’s not impossible to sell it to you.
If not, Li Cong would not have come. Now that Li Cong has come, it proves that this matter can be discussed, but this matter must also have some substantial benefits. If it cannot be achieved, Li Cong will still say the same thing.
Everything should be done according to the rules, but if it is reached, the rules can be changed at any time. After all, people are alive and rules are dead.
"Of course, everything will succeed after a certain amount of hard work. We are also very clear about this. This time we invited Mr. Li here just to talk about this tea."
The shopkeeper said a little unnaturally, at this time, Li Cong is also a smart person, and it seems useless to talk nonsense with him to build relationships. Some people can be fooled by just talking, but some people can be fooled by you.
No matter how you fool him, he still has his own ideas, and Li Cong is like this.
"What's wrong with the tea? What's wrong with the tea? Is it because I sold it to you and squeezed it so it can't be sold or something?" Li Cong said pretending to be surprised. How could there be a backlog at this time? If you don't rush for goods, it will be.
Very good. There is still a backlog.
"Haha, Mr. Li is really good at joking. Who doesn't know that tea has begun to be sold throughout the continent. We came to talk to Mr. Li because we want more tea. The quantity of one thousand kilograms per month is really not enough.
Now, in the Northern Empire we can only supply supplies to the great nobles in the imperial capital. As you know, those great nobles all have great arrogance but don’t have much money. They all want to drink tea but
They don't pay a high price to buy it. These people all know that our purchase price is three hundred gold coins, so when they come to buy, they will price it according to this price. Although our backend is considered tough, we can't put everything into consideration.
Everyone is offended. In that case, we won’t be able to continue trading for a day, so our profits have also been compressed to an extreme. Our main profits now are from the Southern Empire, so Mr. Li, please look at next month
Can you give us some more?" The big shopkeeper will never blush if he lies. A noble can't drink much tea. One or two a day is enough. These nobles will bargain with you for these hundreds of gold coins?
Don't talk nonsense. These people don't know anything if they haven't been a nobleman. If they were really a small businessman, they might actually believe it.
"Really? It seems that your life is really sad. My people have also been to the Imperial Capital. I wonder if this propaganda slogan is yours?" Li Cong smiled and took out a brochure. This era
The brochures are incomparable to those on earth, which means they have the most precious tea leaves. Each tael only costs 800 gold coins per tael. The supply is limited, only for members, etc. If you want to buy tea, no problem.
Yes, you have to become their member. When you are qualified to buy tea, you can buy it again. But at that time, it is estimated that the cost of one tael of tea is not the eight hundred gold coins per tael they said. At least you have to have
If it's over 1,500, they can stop selling it in the Northern Empire, but in that case the big nobles will really come to visit.
When several shopkeepers saw that Li Cong knew everything, they all smiled awkwardly. They really didn't expect that this young man Li Cong knew so much. It can be said that all the nobles in the imperial capital now know that only
The Prince's Mansion and Yitian only have tea for sale, and they are used to drinking it. If you send these tea leaves to the Southern Empire for sale, it would be weird if you don't say that you are traitors to the country. They also have their hands on the tea leaves.
Thoughts, but their forces are not as strong as the joint efforts between the Grand Duke’s Palace and Yitiandang. In the past, the Duke’s Palace and Yitiandang were not very good. But in the face of huge interests, they must protect Li Cong. It is best to protect Li Cong.
Don't let these forces from the imperial capital come into contact with Li Cong, because Li Cong is a small county magistrate himself and may not be able to suppress these nobles at all. Their hope is that this situation will continue like this, but they also know that this is
It's impossible. If they can sustain it for one day, they will earn one more day's money. Yi Tiandang accidentally knew that the monthly share of the County Prince's Mansion was double his own. No wonder they had so much profit, so they also
Come to Li Cong. They have been told from above that they will get their share of the tea even if they pay double the price.
"Haha, it's indeed good. Mr. Li is really awesome. This is the leaflet we distributed in the capital. Since Mr. Li knows everything, we are a bit stingy, but Mr. Li should be able to understand, businessman,
It's normal to be cunning." The big shopkeeper's face is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. When something so embarrassing happened, he didn't think about other things at all, and just took it over with just one sentence. Several other shopkeepers
I was sweating all over, and I didn't know how to deal with it. Who knew that the big shopkeeper could solve this problem easily? It seems that he can become the big shopkeeper because he has the ability. People like them don't have it.
of.
"Mr. Li, since you know everything, I won't say more. Our superiors asked us to ask Mr. Li for more tea. We can pay half the price. We hope that Mr. Li can give us more tea leaves.
How about giving us all the share of the county prince's palace?" The price that is half higher is already considered good. What used to be 300 gold coins per catty has now become 450 gold coins per catty. This price is enough for Li Cong to sell fifty catties.
It's equivalent to selling 75 kilograms, which is very exciting.
"Big shopkeeper, you have one thousand jins, the county prince's palace has 2,200 jins, and I still have about one thousand jins left. I can only give you 600 jins, and the price of the first one thousand jins is still the original three hundred gold coins.
But I want six hundred gold coins for these six hundred kilograms. If you think it's okay, we can trade. If not, we don't need to talk." Li Cong thought for a while and said, you are selling more than a thousand gold coins, there is no reason to make a profit by yourself.
Small, you make a lot of money. In today's society, the powerful party must make demands. Li Cong also knows that Yi Tiandang is very capable. If he was really a small tea businessman, he would not dare to say that, but Li Cong
There is a huge empire on the earth, so Li Cong is much nobler than them. Several shopkeepers exchanged their opinions, and many shopkeepers wanted to settle down quickly, which would save them more nights and dreams. They could do it with twice the gold coins.
Accept it, the big shopkeeper's mind is spinning the fastest. Although the extra 600 kilograms of tea leaves are priced at 600 gold coins, each kilogram can still make a profit of at least 6,000 gold coins. This will only make an extra three or four pounds a month.
The profit of one million is considered very good. If you don't accept it, you probably won't get this share. In fact, the big shopkeeper still wants to talk to Li Cong about the remaining 400 kilograms, but they also know
, Li Cong increased the share here, then the county prince's house will also increase. The people in the county prince's house are not fools, and they can't just let others make money just looking at it.
"Mr. Li, I made the final decision on the price. Thank you, Mr. Li. I heard that Mr. Li is going to the imperial capital. Our big boss in Yitian wants to have a good talk with Mr. Li. I don't know what Mr. Li means.
?" Once upon a time, let alone the big boss of Yitian, even if Yitian was an ordinary shopkeeper in the imperial capital, he had a status similar to that of an earl. Now he is not the big shopkeeper of their imperial capital, but one step at a time, it is them
The big boss wants to talk to Li Cong in detail.
"Your big boss? I don't know if the rumors outside are true. It is said that your big boss is the eldest princess of the dynasty?" Li Cong thought for a while and said, there has been no news about this aspect, even the city lord Long Yun didn't know.
It's not very clear who their big boss is. Although Yitiandang's business in the aristocratic circle is not the best, it is definitely one of the best. The people in the prince's palace must know, but they will not tell Li Cong.
The barriers between high-ranking nobles are still very tight.
"Haha, since Mr. Li is curious about this issue, why not go and see for yourself. The eldest princess is indeed our boss, but she is definitely not our big boss. That's all I can say." The big shopkeeper said with a smile.
, The reason why he can say so much is because Li Cong agreed so easily. In fact, Li Cong will definitely have other sales after this trip to the imperial capital. By then, he does not have to hand over these tea leaves to them, Li Cong himself
It was also possible to establish a route to the Southern Empire. Li Cong still sold the 600 kilograms to them, which was considered worthy of them.
According to the laws of the empire, princesses have the same rights as men except that they have no inheritance rights. Just like all the princess's daily treatment is the same as that of the prince, even if they are married, their monthly payment and various rights are the same.
Yes, they are even better than the princes. After all, the princesses are children without inheritance rights, and the emperor hopes to compensate them more when he sees them, so they spend more time seeing His Majesty the Emperor than the princes.
When the emperor met the prince, he still had to think about whether this child would have any ambitions. If there is anything that needs attention, the princesses did not have this idea. There are also differences among these princesses. The princesses who are legitimate children will be granted the title of eldest princess.
, the status of the eldest princess is the same as that of the prince, and all the treatment is the same as that of the prince. Those below the county prince also need to salute when they see the eldest princess. Of course, within the royal family, they also need to follow the seniority, but this is limited to
Within three generations, the descendants of the royal family after three generations must bow when they see the eldest princess. Even if according to the family tree, you are from the eldest princess’s grandfather’s generation, the empire has been established for more than ten thousand years, and after so many years, the royal family has
There are too many people. If all were based on seniority, His Majesty the Emperor's seniority would probably be very small. It is said that the most senior person in the royal family is a thirty-five-year-old earl. He is more than ten generations senior to His Majesty the Emperor.
, then why did His Majesty call him the Emperor?
The boss of Yitiandang is the Fourth Princess, but this is only a superficial phenomenon. The big shopkeepers everywhere know that their big boss is actually someone else. There are five shareholders in Yitiandang, and all four shareholders can say that
It's just a brand. Among them is the eldest princess, who is the fourth princess, and the other is a princess of the prince's palace. The other two are both dukes. This kind of pomp is considered very powerful.
.But these are incomparable with their big boss. Their big boss is actually the eldest princess. There is only one word difference between the eldest princess and the eldest princess. The treatment is very different.
The eldest princess can only be said to be the sister or aunt of His Majesty the Emperor. There are currently twelve eldest princesses in existence. Although their status is the same as that of the prince, their influence is very huge.
, especially the several aunts of His Majesty the Emperor. Now they are the highest-ranking people within the three generations of the royal family. Sometimes His Majesty the Emperor has to salute them when there are no outsiders. With such a big boss, there is no need to blame Yitian.
It has developed into the most powerful pawnshop in the empire, but they are not the biggest.
The fate of this eldest princess is also very tortuous. When she was born, her father was already in the last few years of his emperor's career. As the last child of His Majesty the Emperor, she suffered a lot from the previous Emperor.
She is also the youngest sister of His Majesty the current Emperor. If this person were not a girl, it is estimated that the current emperor's position would not be in the hands of the current emperor. This eldest princess is not very old, only thirty years old.
, but she is already a widow with a daughter. In the capital, she could talk about their family for several days without getting bored. When she was fifteen years old, the current emperor married her to the imperial military.
The number one figure, Duke Simon, was also from a very big family. Who knew that less than two years after her marriage, Duke Simon died on the front line by coincidence due to the fighting on the front line. From this, Simon's
The family also began to decline. A family with a duke was already very powerful, but what if the duke no longer existed? Especially since the duke only had one daughter and no son, the decline was even more inevitable.
Although Duke Simon had many nephews, the eldest princess directly rejected the suggestion of having an heir. She thought that when she was old, her heir would be worse off depending on the color of his heir, so the Simon family declined.
The decline has nothing to do with her. She is still the eldest princess and the most beloved sister of His Majesty the Emperor. Although Yitiandang has existed for a long time, it has not developed much. In the past, it was just a small house in Duke Simon's family.
As for the business, who would have known that after the eldest princess took over the business, she roped in several other nobles to invest in it, and within a dozen years it became the most popular pawnshop in the continent.
The eldest princess can be said to be the hottest businessman in the imperial capital. With the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, even the prince has to give way. No one can compete with this girl. In fact, except for the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, this girl's own
The methods are also very powerful. There once was an old prince who had trouble with this girl. In the end, the old prince made the girl lose all face. In the end, if His Majesty the Emperor had not come out to be the peacemaker, I guess that
The old prince had no shame in continuing to live in the imperial capital. From then on, people in the imperial capital did not dare to underestimate this beautiful widow. Some people even gave her a nickname. It was called Iron Lady. Iron Lady is also the most recent one.
It only took half a month to fall in love with this kind of tea brought by Kahuan County. Although the mirror last time was considered profitable, one or two million gold coins was not in the eyes of such a wealthy noble. But this time it took a month
It brought a profit of tens of millions of gold coins, which is amazing. It is more than 100 million gold coins a year. Yitiandang’s annual profit is not as big as the profit brought by this tea. If this doesn’t arouse her
If she had the idea, her eyes would not know where Zhang was.
Indeed, this time Li Cong's tea did stir up a big whirlpool in the imperial capital. The Yanping County Prince's Palace and the eldest princess Long Yue were both on the express train of rapid development. Some people said that money was no longer enough at their level.
What has been decided? In fact, it is because these people have not reached this level. Many history books say that money is a very important aspect for princes to compete for the throne. If there are no such funds, it means there is no profit, no profit.
