The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 751 The Difficulty of Putting Soybean Oil on the Market ([-]rd)
"What kind of oil are you using? Why have I never seen it before?" Now that Li Shimin discovered the difference in the oil, he naturally wanted to ask Li Tai.

"Father really has a unique eye. The oil used by my minister today is not ordinary animal oil. It is the soybean oil squeezed from soybeans. The dishes made with it will be more delicious." Li Tai did not hesitate. Said to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin nodded, he dipped the fried mutton into the sauce and put it in his mouth, just like Li Tai.

It doesn't matter if you eat this, it makes Li Shimin's mouth full of fragrance instantly.So I picked up a few more slices and put them in the pot, and I didn't put down my chopsticks until I ate a few slices in a row.

For the emperor, there are not many times to eat like this.So everyone couldn't help but wonder how the fried meat tasted.Why is Li Shimin so interested.

"Brother Wang, don't be restrained. Today we only talk about Fengyue regardless of monarchs and ministers. Brother Wang, you can let go of eating and drinking." Li Shimin said to everyone with a smile.

Then Li Shimin fried a few more slices of meat for his grandson Wugou.After the eldest grandson Wugou ate it, he was full of praise.He happily said to Li Tai: "You are really inferior if you don't become a cook. I really want to transfer you to the imperial dining room. Compared with the food in the harem, it will definitely be greatly improved."

Datang is a person who cares more about food, otherwise he would never regard fat as beautiful in the aesthetic concept of women.Because only if you eat a lot and eat well, you will be qualified to be fat.

Afterwards, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others also settled down one after another, and began to try fried meat that they had never seen before.And while eating, he was full of praise for Li Tai.

Then Li Tai gave you a detailed introduction and demonstration of the eating methods of other delicacies.Let everyone fully grasp the method of making this fried meat.

Everyone who ate this big meal was full of oil, and everyone was extremely happy.But what everyone is more interested in is the soybean oil.

So Cheng Yaojin asked Li Tai with a smile: "Hurry up and tell me, how much does a bottle of this soybean oil cost in 33 Chongtian?"

"Uncle Cheng still understands me, but this soybean oil has not been officially put on the market yet. But it won't take long. As for the price, it is definitely affordable even by ordinary people." Li Tai said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile.

"It's really not easy for you kid to not be rich. It seems that I, Cheng Yaojin, will have a different impression of you." Cheng Yaojin said to Li Tai with a smile.

Since even ordinary people can afford it, it means that the price of soybean oil will not be very high.Judging from Li Tai's past style of work, such a situation has never happened before.

As long as it is a novelty created by Li Tai, before others master the production method.The sales price will definitely not be cheap, and it is definitely within the range that the common people cannot afford.

Li Shimin also nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Li Tai: "You can make such a change, which really makes me very satisfied. I hope you can continue to carry forward this style in the future, so that the people of the world will be blessed by you."

"Father, please don't worry, there will be more good things in the future. My sons and ministers will sell them at prices that the common people can afford. Of course, certain luxury items are another matter." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile.

The meal was full of joy, and everyone toasted and drank until late at night.Moreover, everyone is already drunk, and this kind of relaxed life has not been tried for a long time.

Even Li Shimin himself was drunk.Even the eldest grandson Wugou, who is the empress, also had a pink complexion.

……

Li Tai didn't go back to Chang'an, but took the train back to Youzhou directly.Of course, Qin Huaiyu and Princess Jingluo also left with Li Tai.

Before leaving, the eldest grandson Wugou explained everything to Princess Jingluo.I am afraid that Princess Jingluo is inexperienced in her first pregnancy, which may cause some accidents to the child.

And because Princess Jingluo was pregnant, Li Tai also ate a lot of melons.Because the eldest grandson Wugou directly questioned Li Tai, when Li Tai could make his princess pregnant, and let him be a grandmother.

Of course, Li Tai didn't need to hide Li Xin's affairs, so he told his eldest grandson Wugou about Li Xin's affairs.This made Changsun Wugou's heart ache enough.

And tell Li Tai, must send someone to find Li Xin.After all, he is of royal blood and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Li Tai naturally agreed wholeheartedly, which made Changsun Wugou feel at ease and let him board the train.After getting on the train, Li Tai let out a long breath while sitting on his seat.

Then he said to himself: "It's the same in ancient and modern times. There is no mother who doesn't want her child to have a son early."

……

Without talking all the way, Li Tai and Qin Huaiyu returned to Youzhou.After returning to Youzhou, Li Tai became busy again.

The first thing is to get Zou Fengchi to put soybean oil on the market.And the price is set at twice that of grain.This is enough to make soybean oil affordable for ordinary people.

However, this does not mean that Li Tai's profit is small, because only Li Tai himself knows how to make soybean oil.The possibility of being imitated in a short time is very small.

So Li Tai is following the road of small profits but high sales, even if his own price is not very high.In the end, you will get unexpected profits.

"My lord, now we have implemented Tang Yuan. However, Kaiyuan Tongbao is used in other state capitals. Therefore, most of 33 Chongtian's income in other state capitals is Kaiyuan Tongbao."

"But this Kaiyuan Tongbao doesn't seem to be of much use to us. So my lord must find a way to replace these Kaiyuan Tongbao with something useful to us." Zou Fengchi stood up and asked Li Tai.

Li Tai nodded and said: "You are right, so we must not transport Kaiyuan Tongbao back to Youzhou. Not only Kaiyuan Tongbao, but also silver. Of course, gold is another matter."

"However, I am afraid that there will not be many people who consume gold. Most of them should use Kaiyuan Tongbao. Therefore, we must replace Kaiyuan Tongbao with the goods we need, and then transport them back to Youzhou."

"My subordinate understands, so I will make arrangements later. I guarantee that soybean oil will be put on the market within half a month. At the same time, I will bring back the items that my lord needs." Zou Fengchi saluted Li Tai.

After all, Zou Fengchi is in charge of sales, and Gao Ping mainly relies on Gao Ping for the production.So Li Tai told Gao Ping to immediately increase the production of soybean oil.

Gaoping was even allowed to build additional refineries, no matter how much the investment was.The supply of soybean oil must be guaranteed, and there must be no shortage of goods in any case.

Because Li Tai's main purpose this time is to make soybean oil available to the common people.If the quantity put on the market is in short supply, even if you set the price very low, the common people may not be able to eat it.

Some people even hoard soybean oil and drive up prices privately to make a profit.This is definitely something Li Tai doesn't want to see.

In order to prevent this from happening, the production of soybean oil must be increased.Although this cannot prevent some people from secretly making profits.But it can be avoided as much as possible.

Gao Ping got up and said to Li Tai: "Master, it is not difficult to increase the refinery. The difficulty lies in the supply of soybeans. If there is not enough soybeans, no matter how many factories we have, it will not help."

What Gao Ping said was right, after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.Therefore, soybean reserves have become a top priority.But the soybeans that Li Tai planted this time are not yet ready for harvest.

If it's the harvest season, Li Tai really doesn't worry about not having enough soybean reserves.After all, the amount of soybean planted by himself is as high as one million mu.

"This king will let 33 Zhongtian buy soybeans as much as possible, and will definitely guarantee your use." Li Tai said to Gao Ping.

"My lord, now my lord has completely offended the Central Plains family. So if my subordinate guessed correctly, my lord's plan to buy soybeans may not go smoothly." Xu Liang said to Li Tai.

Li Tai knew that what Xu Liang said was right, if he started to buy soybeans, and soybean oil had already been put on the market.I am afraid that those Central Plains families will start hoarding soybeans, so that they will not be able to get enough soybeans in the end.

Even if he could get soybeans, the price he paid would be far higher than the market price.This will inevitably increase Li Tai's cost, and the price of soybean oil will naturally rise as well.

"My lord, I have a way to make those aristocratic families suffer a loss. And it can ensure that my lord will get a sufficient amount of soybeans." Liu Rengui said to Li Tai.

Li Tai couldn't help being interested in Liu Rengui's words, because everything that could cause trouble for the aristocratic family.They are all things that Li Tai is more passionate about doing.

So Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Liu Rengui: "If Xiang Liu has any ideas, why don't you come and listen to them. If it's feasible, do it according to Xiang Liu's ideas."

"Actually, this matter is very simple. The lord can buy the sorghum first. And at the same time reduce the amount of immortal drunk. This will definitely make them feel that the sorghum in the lord's hand is not enough."

"So, as Gao Ping said, they will definitely hinder it. Let the lord not be able to get low-priced sorghum. And the lord can start selling a lot of immortal drunk after they hoard a large amount of sorghum."

"In this way, the sorghum in their hands will be backlogged in their hands. After all, this sorghum is not only useful to the lord, but they can only feed the sorghum to the horses." Liu Rengui said to Li Tai with a smile.

What Liu Rengui said is right, the main staple food in the Tang Dynasty was wheat and rice.As for the sorghum, there are very few people who eat it.Most of them are used to feed livestock such as horses.

And the sorghum in Li Tai's hands is definitely not a small number.It has even reached the point of self-sufficiency.There is no need to outsource at all.

So in the end, those aristocratic families will definitely suffer a lot of losses because of this.Moreover, Li Tai can also take the opportunity to raise the price of sorghum, causing those aristocratic families to suffer greater losses.
