Chapter 242 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.

"As for the hozen from the barbarians in all directions, they are naturally sold to the dignitaries in their country. As for those dignitaries, they can afford tea. Tea packaging needs to be extravagant and exquisite, so that it can be worthy of their value.

It's just that barbarians in all directions drink tea like a cow chewing peonies, and they don't understand the deliciousness of tea.

Therefore, when selling to barbarians from all over the world, the price needs to be increased ten times and a hundred times, so as to be worthy of the payment of tea, so as to be worthy of the artisans who pick tea and fry tea! "

After thinking about it, Li Xuan continued.

"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 looked enlightened, and then saluted Li Xuan solemnly.

"Well, very good!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Continued: "You guys need to remember that tea is not only an elegant drink to quench your thirst in your spare time. Drinking tea can also prevent diseases, beautify you, protect your skin, and even prevent heatstroke, refresh your mind and improve your 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 also a hint of joy in their eyes, they couldn't believe it.

"My lord, is this true?"

"Do you think this king is lying to you?"

Li Xuan's expression immediately sank.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I have been waiting to drink tea for so long, but I didn't know that drinking tea has such an effect. I lost my composure in a moment of shock!"

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.
