Chapter 382: The Immortal Drunk
Li Yu's confident answer;
"Brother, don't worry, I keep improving the secret method of brewing wine. Several wine-making masters have also tried bravely, and it is very different now.
If it were last year, if you were selling at this price, there would be not much profit. However, this year is not as good as last year. The same stone of grain can now be more than 30% more than the wine.
Of course, Wuliangye's capital is getting smaller and smaller. As for the amount my brother said to hand over to the court, it is not a big deal. Not only that, it can be more than 300 more. Should I feel relieved if I have such a result?"
With the continuous screams, Li Yu greatly satisfied his vanity. Even Lu Jishan also had a surprised expression. The three hundred coins he proposed were nothing more than to give Li Yu a concept of the court in his heart.
It wasn't really forcing me to make 300 yuan per bucket of wine, which was no different from blocking the road and robbing. Unexpectedly, Li Dalang agreed and could give out another portion. This was amazing.
You should know that the big players earn their own share, and the imperial court took advantage of all the people selling liquor in the world. One hundred more money is a shocking amount. Lu Jishan was a little worried and asked afterwards;
"Didn't you coax me? These six hundred coins are a huge amount. Although I have never managed turbid wine, I know that all grains and millets have to be exchanged for money, and I gave them a dou of seven hundred for the wealthy people.
Give the court another six hundred, and there are still a few left. If the generals are not profitable, they will never be able to do it!"
"It's okay, brother, don't worry. I have a clear idea in my heart. No matter how much you lose, try to balance it."
All the six officials under Lu Jishan remained silent. Mr. Liu thought about it and couldn't hold it in, so he asked;
"County Borong reported that these seven hundred numbers are OK, but for those too far away, it is inevitable that there will be complaints. What if it does?"
Li Yu smiled relaxedly;
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, the price of wine is much higher than I imagined, so there is no need to be afraid of this. We can calculate the expenditure on personnel, hay, dried grains, and add some.
For example, if two hundred miles are used as the system, Chang'an City will give up 100 coins for each bucket of wine within 200 miles and 100 miles away, and give the coolies some food to get out. The big households within 400 miles away and within 800 miles away, and reduce another 100 coins per bucket.
By advancing this way, all the big players will have nothing to say. I don’t know if this arrangement will work. I think you can say a few more words."
Lu Jishan was the first to disagree this time;
"No, my brother is too kind and doesn't understand the way of management. He just thinks that others can't do it. He just walks some here, some there, and then spends hundreds of dollars every two hundred miles. How can he divide the profits completely?"
The official named Liu immediately stood up to support his doctor;
"That's true. The county magistrate is too kind-hearted. This is not a way to do business. Besides, if a big family saves 200 yuan every time they drink wine, they may not necessarily receive the favors of the county magistrate. If you want to take a lot of money and take a cart, there are also many people who are there, and you can't be too flirting with them."
A thin man next to Mr. Liu kept nodding and echoed;
"That's right, let's talk about the big families 800 miles away, which is a little far away. But every time they come to pick up wine, it's not a marching or war. It's enough to dispatch dozens of slaves. How much grain can they eat along the way?
If you can save more than a hundred guan at a time, you can eat and drink? In the end, you will save it to those big players?
I spent a lot of money on the county uncle's side for nothing. I also asked the county uncle to discuss with my doctor before making a decision."
Li Yu is a person who listens to others' advice to have a full meal. He is very grateful to him for his consideration. He gave him a simple gift;
"Thank you brother for your consideration. Since the 100-yuan money is a bit too much, please let me decide what. My brother means to try not to be too little. I always think that doing business is the same as being a human being. It is a good thing to suffer some losses and to ask others to get some. It is a blessing to suffer losses.
If you give more subsidies for this wine-drawing, it is not easy for the big players to save them all. In the future, the coolies who bring wine-drawing can eat better and fill them up, even if they accumulate good deeds!”
Lu Jishan asked to his six subordinates;
"You think that how much is appropriate, not too much, not too little, and not too little. My brother's considerations are unique, and it is full of open ideas and must be listened to.
I also have descendants, and I don’t live alone. Of course, I have to cultivate some merits for my descendants. It’s not a bad thing, right?”
"That's right, what the doctor said is reasonable, it's better to be kind."
"That's true. Xiaguan thinks that every two hundred miles, how about the big wine merchants who spend a bucket of wine, how about 70 yuan?
Just one bucket of wine will make a profit of seven hundred yuan, and the distance will be long and the savings will be seventy. One is to make up the accounts, and two sevens will make up two auspicious numbers. Please ask the county uncle and doctor to consider it again."
Li Yu nodded and looked at Lu Jishan, waiting for him to make the final decision. Lu Jishan looked at Li Yu and nodded directly and agreed;
"But, according to Liu Yuanwai's proposal, the big family who takes out wine every two hundred miles will be reduced by 70 yuan. My brother thinks this is possible?"
"Of course, just follow what Mr. Liu said."
Lu Jishan then asked again;
"Weller, how should we price our second, better wine? Have you ever thought about it?"
Before Li Yu could speak, the Lord Bo, who had spoken before, immediately spoke;
"Qibing County Master, the Wuliangye, which was much more delicious than ten thousand yuan per dou of high-quality turbid wine, was sold for 6,000 yuan, which was less than enough.
This time, we can't continue like this. If the people are greedy or need to have guests to entertain, they can go and get a few pounds of Wuliangye back, so they can have face.
This even more high-quality spirit wine is much more mellow and rich. It is really a fairy wine, suitable for sale to wealthy families, children of aristocratic families, and merchants.
These people have a common problem. They don’t need to worry too much about money and silk at home.”
Lu Jishan also agreed very much and turned his head to Li Yu and said;
"Yes, this is all right. You don't have to worry about the rich people. Thousands of Guan are willing to spend it. This is better. Isn't it worth a hundred Guan?"
"Don't worry, brother, I think so too. Since I don't lack money, how about the price of 100% per dou?"
As soon as Li Yu said this, he immediately aroused everyone's opposition;
"Qi Bing County, the ten-stop shop is too small. After all, they were sold for a thousand-stop shop before. Suddenly, it was so low. Is the gap between the two before and after?"
"That's right, I'll tell you, just one hundred coins, and you'll buy it or not."
"It's good, but Brother Wang, don't forget. I didn't have any alcohol before, so the big guys raised the price of alcohol. Then I started to sell it in the future. I'm afraid it would be a bit inappropriate if I set a hundred coins a dou, right?"
"What Mr. Liu said makes sense. The subordinates thought it was appropriate to do a thirty silo and one silo…"
"No, Brother Zheng is too little with thirty stakes, at least fifty stakes."
"Hey, fifty is a little too much. I want me to say that one dou thirty stakes is just right. I wonder what you think?"
Not only did Lu Jishan not stop the discussion of his six subordinates, he also participated;
"My brother, I think it's not much more than thirty stakes, but what do you think?"
"Thirty is OK. I just heard from my brothers that I said too little, and I thought that if I was too low, I would be twenty steadily. When I mentioned thirty steadily, it was OK. But I don't know if the wealthy families think it's too expensive after a long time in the future?"
Then Mr. Liu directly replaced his doctor and replied with a smile;
"If you go back to the county uncle, you won't think it's expensive, and you won't come to buy it. If you can afford it, you won't care about the ten or twenty cents of the business.
However, what the county uncle said is also reasonable. If you have to be short of all seasons in the future, thirty-one dou is indeed a little more.
The officials think it’s better to look at the output of the county uncle. It doesn’t matter if you can’t keep up with the rich people. If you eat too much, you will naturally have to lower it.”
Li Yu looked up at the roof, his voice full of confidence;
"No matter how much we brew, we can call this high-quality spirit, which has always been in a state of not enough sales.
For example, we can limit the pounds and dou numbers of high-quality wines to buy large-scale wines to control the number of liquors in the world. In this way, high-quality wines will not be enough to eat, and the cost is thirty cents, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Lu Jishan also thought about it carefully in his mind and felt that there was nothing wrong with thirty steads. Not to mention thirty steads per dot, even thirty steads per dot, it could not stop the rich people from buying.
They all value their faces and do not lack money. Who cares about these things? If you think it is expensive, you can buy 6,000 yuan per bull and save more money. Lu Jishan repeatedly determined it before speaking at the end;
"Since that's the case, then set a 30-ton chunk of each dou. However, the number of wines produced by this high-quality liquor and Wuliangye from last year must be decided, otherwise they will all come and get a lot of money, and there is no way for those who have money later."
Li Yu talked for a long time and was a little hungry. He just wanted to finish the matter quickly and go to the building for dinner, so he made a quick decision;
"I started trying to sell the day after tomorrow, just to let them know that they would not suffer any losses when they follow the imperial court. They did not want to sell special sales in a large number of hundreds of households. Each one got ten dollars back, and the ones we saved were gone immediately.
But there is no need to worry. The twenty-eight workshops in Lantian are constantly stopping day and night, and three teams are rotating to work, and they can keep up. That's how they decide.
Each family will first receive ten dou of Wuliangye, then add the five dou of immortals to go back to see if they can sell them clean within three days, and also try the purchasing ability of Chang'an City."
Lu Jishan kept muttering;
"Immortals are drunk, immortals are drunk, immortals are drunk, immortals are drunk even after eating. It's good, very good, very nice name.
That day in Du Shangshu's mansion, Brother Yu ate seven percent full as usual, keeping three points of soberness to avoid making a fool of himself.
As a result, somehow, I was talking to the old brothers, and my legs became weak and my tongue was knotted. I was afraid that I would offend someone if I said something wrong, so I was so scared that I hid in the corner.
I originally thought of taking a break for a while, but I felt better, so I quickly said goodbye and left. But not only did I not take a break, but I became even more drunk. Later, I simply fell into the corner of the hall.
The servant who went with me carried me onto the carriage and took me back to the mansion. The next day, Aye scolded me very much and complained that I shouldn't be so greedy.
In front of Your Majesty and the important civil and military officials, I was unconscious. My foolish brother didn't dare to stubbornly talk, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistakes, but I felt a little unfair.
I really didn't drink at the beginning, and I still left three points to not dare to eat enough, but I couldn't stop it after drinking.
I thought I was the only one who made a fool of myself and was a little embarrassed to meet others. But when I found out, there were not many old guys who went there that day who woke up.
It’s because I’m drunk for the first time, I think it’s the same as Wuliangye last year. I heard that Your Majesty has eaten the drunken immortals sent by my brother several times.
Knowing the power of it, I kept holding on to Fang Cun, only ate and didn't feel any discomfort. Most of the other civil and military officials fell drunk on the spot.
Now when I heard from my brother that the name of this fine wine, it would be like a fairy to get drunk even after eating it. It’s really appropriate.”
Mr. Liu also agreed;
"The wine that can be drunk by all the generals is naturally worthy of the immortal's name, but the officials have not tasted it yet. They will be sold in a few days.
Xiaguan also went to get two pounds to taste with his family. Every time the county uncle made a move, he made a big splash. Xiaguan thought that this immortal must be worthy of his name and was extremely delicious."
The official surnamed Zheng also agreed;
"Yes, yes, the county uncle always has a shocking hand. I won't mention anything else, I just talk about the iron pot delicacy. Now I can't live without a meal. I don't want to eat the same kind of boiled water as before."
Li Yu looked at it and said almost. According to the plan, he had to check the warehouses again. Li Yu didn't want to delay and said directly;
"Brothers, we have said almost the same thing. This afternoon, we can arrange for all major families to register with people and register, and come to the Ministry of Revenue to collect liquor the day after tomorrow. We will go to see the major warehouses now, and then we can go out for the daytime meal."
Lu Jishan stood up;
"That's right? I've been talking about it for a long time before I knew it. My brother must be hungry. Let's take you to see the major warehouses of our warehouse department, and then hurry to Wanhe Restaurant for some day to fill your stomach quickly."
"Brother, please."
"Please, brother."
"good."
The two left the lobby side by side, and Li Yu's personal maid Yingxiang followed closely, and two tall slaves followed behind.
