Chapter 386: The turtle eats wine
Li Yu shouted loudly that selling wine this year was very different from last year, which made everyone confused. An older middle-aged man in the crowd asked curiously;
"I wonder what tricks Li County Uncle will do this year. Please let me know, so I'm ready."
Since the plan started last year, I tried my best to pull the emperor and a group of important officials onto their own chariots, and worked hard for several months to experiment with brewing wine.
Until this year, it was rebuilt such a large winemaking workshop, and later brought wine to Chang'an City to reserve, Li Yu exhausted his efforts and was worried.
Today, we finally waited for the season to prepare for harvest. Li Yu no longer had to hide it. He opened the skylight and said something brightly, and he was just straightforward;
"It's so that all my brothers know that this year is different from before. I received an order from the court that in the future, the court will sell spirits in all places in the Tang Dynasty to unify the price of wine.
No shop selling spirits must maliciously raise the price of wine, and no big money can be added. Otherwise, the court will come forward to clean up the mess, punish what should be punished, and beat what should be beaten, but no matter whether you are a prince or a noble family or a family.
Of course, merchants who are willing to sell at low prices are not subject to restrictions. You can do it without money to give it to others. The court will not pay attention to you, please do whatever you want."
Li Yu's joke immediately made people laugh. A drunkard in the crowd rushed to speak, fearing that someone would block his mouth;
"The court made a good arrangement. Just like last year, the price of Wuliangye in Lixian County was not too expensive, and we can accept it.
However, the market is short of stock, and finally gets a pound of strong liquor and it is really chaotic. It's not that it takes people's life. If you don't eat it, you can't be greedy. If you eat it, you will get a thousand yuan of liquor. Who can afford to eat it?
Today, the court has called him like this, and I will no longer be afraid of those who want to do it randomly. If the price of the wine is reasonable, there is no need to worry about it. I will buy him ten dollars and eat it first, so as not to know when the stock will be out of stock again."
As soon as this person finished speaking, a companion next to him immediately responded;
"Your brother, you are too simple. The writings in the court must be good. However, as long as the market is out of stock, the price of wine will increase wildly. Then it will be a dilemma again. If you don't believe it, just wait."
As soon as this person finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately took over the conversation;
"That's right? The wine price was a thousand cents a while ago, but it was vivid in my mind. How long has it been, I'm afraid that the court's writings will not stop the market in the market."
"Yes, yes, my brother's words are true. A thousand guan is not a thousand qian. Even if we are a noble family, we can't stand the trouble for a long time. That's a prodigal son, but we can't control the wineworms in our stomachs. Alas..."
Thinking of the crazy price of wine that was thousands of pounds a pound not long ago, the crowd immediately started to make a fuss again, and everyone started talking and talking.
Lu Jishan coughed, raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, with a serious expression on his face;
"Don't worry, brothers, after Wuliangye starts selling in the future, the market will no longer be out of stock. There are wine shops everywhere in the world who abide by the laws of the court. In the future, fine wine can be bought everywhere. Those teeth that are determined to be low and high will have nowhere to hide.
The brothers may not know that Lixian Bo increased his efforts at the beginning of spring this year and built twenty-eight winemaking workshops in one breath.
The laborers were divided into three shifts, working day and night, so everyone no longer had to worry about the situation where there was no wine to eat."
"Is that so great."
"Yes, yes, twenty-eight winemaking workshops are constantly stopping day and night, which will definitely ensure that the market will not be short of goods. We will have a good time in the future..."
A young man with a white-faced scholar in the crowd sighed fiercely at a man who was a few years older than him;
"Brother, we will never have to face the wine-selling teeth again. Looking at their strange and slutty faces, I want to beat them to death."
"Well, as long as there is no shortage of fine wine in the market, I will no longer have to look at those disgusting faces in the future.
Don’t talk about you, brother. Last time I almost couldn’t help it. At that time, I thought to ask the slave to go up and break the man’s leg. It’s too much to bully people. There is no one asking for a price all over the sky. Isn’t it just that he has five kilograms of Wuliangye in his hand? Damn, it’s really angering me…”
Looking at the cheering crowd, Li Yu also relaxed a lot and whispered to Lu Jishan;
"Brother, the price of wine in the future is more appropriate. After all, you are the head of Kurabuji Department. Brother, don't let everyone wait for a long time, just tell them."
Lu Jishan agreed casually, then looked up at the children of more than 20 families in the restaurant lobby, and shouted loudly;
"Brothers, after discussion by the officials of the Licensing Department of the Ministry of Revenue, the future sale of Wuliangye will be set to 6,000 yuan per dou of wine. I wonder if you are satisfied with the price of this wine set by the court?"
After Lu Jishan said this, he did not wait for the anticipation to cheer. The entire restaurant lobby was silent and no one spoke. The scene was very awkward, making Lu Jishan unable to get off the table.
The more than twenty people in front of him were stunned for a while, and only an older person couldn't help but ask;
"Dr. Lu just said how much, I didn't hear it very clearly, but six thousand coins per dou?"
This man deliberately bit six thousand coins very heavily, for fear of getting the wrong amount. Lu Jishan and others came to ask questions and immediately explained;
"It's six thousand coins per dou. Everyone is right. His Majesty is sorry for the common people. Because of the high price, he can't taste the delicious food on earth.
Therefore, Lixian Boduo arranged for Lixian to find a solution. Lixian Bo looked at many ancient books and found some long-lost knowledge from the Luban secret method.
Created new brewing tools and improved the secret method of brewing, which increased the amount of alcohol production a lot. Your Majesty also loved the people as much as his son, and felt sorry for the people's money,
Therefore, I gritted my teeth and lowered the price of wine to this point. If it was six thousand yuan and some people thought it was expensive, I was really sorry, so I could only eat turbid wine.”
After Lu Jishan said that, he looked at the crowd in front of him quietly. A loud bang broke out in the crowd. A group of people were talking all over the place. Many people still couldn't believe the price of wine. Some even spoke loudly. The price of wine shouldn't be so low! Why did it get so much lower at once?
Li Yu also knew that this was the effect of inertial thinking. Everyone had become accustomed to high prices and suddenly it was beyond imagination, which many people could not accept.
After everyone recovered for a while, Lu Jishan spoke again;
"The newly brewed Xianrenzui this year is not 6,000 yuan. The production of Xianrenzui is not large. Moreover, it is quite labor-intensive and millet, so the price of Xianrenzui wine is very high."
The crowd heard that the immortals were drunk and had a high price. Not only did they not react strongly, but they were surprisingly acceptable. More than 20 families of aristocratic families began to agree again.
"High? How high can it be?"
"No matter how high we can afford it."
"That's it. Only when we are high can we show that we are different. It's better to be taller. That 6,000 yuan per bucket is not as high as the price of the best wine before. If we buy it for food, wouldn't we lose our status and make people laugh?"
"That's because there has been a difference between superiors and inferiors since ancient times. Wuliangye was originally a good wine, but the price of 6,000 yuan was affordable for even the people.
Why do some family think it’s strange if I am a noble family, I am a little more drunk and a little bit more serious. I can’t eat the same kind of wine with the poor people every day?”
Lu Jishan whispered to Li Yu;
"Your brother, look, Brother Yu is not wrong. This immortal must be priced higher. These people are not afraid of your high wine price. Instead, they have to buy it with the high wine price as glory."
Li Yu shook his head when he heard this, thinking that it was just a few bad money, but he didn't know what his surname was, and he didn't care. Didn't the rich people in his previous life be like this?
Those who hold iPhones do not have pockets, those who have tattoos always feel hot, and those who have to lift up their clothes. Those who wear watches always like to roll up the cuffs of their clothes. No matter whether they are cold or not, as for whether their wrists are exposed, no one cares whether their hands are cold or cold.
There are also those rich people who post their friends every day, some show cars, some show dinner parties, some show high-end girlfriends, and some even get a bunch of cash to take photos, which are all kinds of things.
It’s nothing more than a empty mind, no foundation, and having more money and food and clothing. If you don’t know how to live, you will start to compete in various ways.
I want to show off my circle and life in this way, and the standards are so unattainable and unique. I didn’t expect that this situation was also happening in ancient times. They were all a group of people who were beaten and not shot.
Li Yu looked at Lu Jishan with a slight smile and said perfunctorily;
"It's my brother who is very experienced and can understand these people's thoughts thoroughly and clearly. I really admire him."
Lu Jishan did not take this flattery, but instead disregarded it;
"My brother is also a prominent family in Longxi. How could he not know the true nature of the children of aristocratic families?
Yes, imagine that the environment in which my brother grew up is very different from ours. The only family in Lantian County is the only one of my brother Li’s family.
My brother has been young since he was a child and has not come into contact with other aristocratic families, so he naturally doesn’t understand their thoughts. Speaking of this, I have to admire him. The old county man is indeed very powerful and takes good care of the environment in which his brother grows up.
There is no extravagant style or comparison style. My brother has grown up quietly and has been focusing on studying since childhood. Of course, he cannot understand the thoughts of these people."
"Yes, I have never come into contact with any other aristocratic family since I was a child. The only outsider I have come into contact with is the master who taught me to study.
Many times I have the illusion that my family is a rich peasant in the countryside, and there is nothing else.”
The six officials who had been standing next to him smiled bitterly and Mr. Liu whispered with a smile;
"If the county Bo family is just a rich peasant, we will be an authentic beggar."
Mr. Zheng also made a joke;
"That's right? The county Bo family is the first family in Longxi, the second authentic Li family, and the only heir to the head of the family. What a noble status and countless property. If you are a rich peasant, we really don't know how to answer the conversation."
Li Yu's smile on the interface;
"Don't laugh at me with all your heart. I just said it casually, and I don't have to care."
After Li Yu said that, he pointed to the lively crowd below, nodded his stomach, stood and smiled silently, Lu Jishan nodded and said loudly to the crowd;
"Okay! Okay, brothers, don't have to guess. I can tell you clearly that this immortal is drunk for thirty stakes of wine, and the price of this kind of wine is not low. For ordinary people... they don't dare to eat it a few times!"
The fat man standing in front said with a disdainful expression on his face;
"Hi! I thought it was so high that the price of wine. I still guessed it in my mind for a while. It turned out that a dou was only 30 stakes, which is also considered high?"
The brothers around the fat man also started to make trouble;
"That's right, I've been guessing in my heart just now that since the immortal drunk is so powerful, it must be worth at least a few hundred jin per pound. I didn't expect that one dou will only sell thirty jin, cut..."
Many people sneer at the moment they hear Thirty Stones, and their attitudes are the same. You should be as relaxed as you want.
Another person asked carefully;
"The doctor's words are really good. If you only sell thirty coins and one dou, it's not that I boast that my own industry is not about family, but I can enjoy it every year. Even if I eat a pound every day, it's no problem."
Li Yu stopped silent after hearing this. He wanted this effect. If he set it too high, he would not be able to make money every day. After thinking for a while, Li Yu took it over;
"What this brother said is the key point. If you sell a thousand guan and a dou, you can naturally afford to eat it. The question is how many times can you eat it?
Although there are not many Qianguanzi's money, the way to eat it every day will cost tens of thousands of coins in a year. No matter how big aristocratic family or prominent family is, they cannot withstand such troubles.
This thirty jin is different. Even if you eat two or three pounds every now and then, you won’t be able to do anything big. You have a face and a mood. Wouldn’t it be so beautiful?”
Li Yu's words are about the key point. A group of children from aristocratic families think about it carefully, isn't that the case? If it's the price of a thousand guanzi, no one dares to eat it every day.
If you continue to lose your family like this, your family will be broken up in less than two years. Who can afford to eat? In this way, the price of these 30-ton wines is the most reasonable.
To be continued...
