Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1408: The Department of Commerce is established! (Thanks Hans for the reward!)
The next day.
"Boss Wang? What did you say? Shenxian tea is on sale? Can our merchants buy it too?"
"Of course it is true! This is the latest news that the old man has received. As long as the merchants in Lantian County can go to Zuixianlou to buy a pound of Shenxian tea with the help of the shop agreement! That is a pound of Shenxian tea! Even in the past. No matter how much money you have, you can’t buy one or two. If you don’t feel happy, Brother Bai, you won’t be able to buy it in a while~!"
"What? A pound of fairy tea! Brother Wang, wait for me, I'll go get the shop contract, eh! Wait! How much is a pound of fairy tea?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive! Only sixty Tang yuan! Brother, you hurry up!"
"...Okay! I'm here~!"
If you leave it as usual, some people say that a catty of tea sells 60 cans, the merchant surnamed Bai will surely slap him to death, but now, although he also thinks it is expensive, but 60 cans of a catty of tea. One or two tea leaves are six tongs, and one or two tea leaves can be brewed for about ten cups. If you are a little pungent, you can make about twelve cups. That is to say, a cup of fairy tea is only three hundred wen (which is always equal to eight hundred wen). , At least more than two hundred texts! !
This is totally for nothing!
Previously, Zuixianlou limitedly launched an activity where you can enjoy a cup of fairy tea for free with slams of money in the store, which attracted countless "local tyrants" who love tea to enter the store to **** it. The boss Bai also went to Zuixianlou to taste it at the time. A little distressed, but after tasting Shenxian tea, he felt very worthwhile and satisfied!
Only after you have really tasted Shenxian tea, will you understand that the rest of the tea is all rubbish!
Moreover, once you drink Shenxian tea, you are easily addicted, especially for those who love the tea ceremony. If you can’t drink Shenxian tea for a day, it will be as uncomfortable as a cat’s paw heart. Unfortunately, this Boss Bai belongs to this category of people!
For this reason, he has been to Zuixianlou five times, and in the end he really feels that after drinking like this, the profits of his own store for a few months have been drunk, so he can only reluctantly give up. Xianlou would have to spend at least ten bucks of money, even if he had little money, he couldn't help being so wasteful!
Nowadays, I heard that Zuixianlou is selling immortal tea, and it only costs 60 jin per catty. How can Boss Bai not be moved? Even if he buys it back and sells it directly to merchants in other states and counties, he can still make some money. If he sets up a high-end teahouse in the shop to sell the brewed fairy tea, he will make more!
After all, with the popularity of Shenxian Tea and the reputation of tribute tea, as long as there is a teahouse to launch Shenxian Tea, even if it is a cup of 500 yuan, many people will definitely come to grab it!
This is a transaction that makes a profit without losing money!
"Treasurer Liu, why can't we buy it? Are you worried that we won't pay you?"
"Yes! Why can only merchants in Lantian County be able to buy? Everyone gives money, so what is the difference?"
"Yes! Shopkeeper Liu! If you think that sixty quins per catty is too cheap, you can raise the price even more. Why do you limit the purchase to merchants in Lantian County?"
In addition to the Zuixianlou branch in Lantian County, in addition to the endless stream of diners, there are also noisy merchants. Many of these merchants are not merchants in Lantian County. They Just when I was watching a football game in Lantian County, I happened to hear the news that the Zuixianlou was selling Shenxian tea, so I rushed over immediately.
Obviously, there are many tea ceremony lovers who have tasted Shenxian tea like Boss Bai and are crazy about Shenxian tea!
Who would have thought that Zuixianlou had set a rule that tea should be given priority to local merchants in Lantian County. How could these foreign merchants who rush to grab tea be able to bear it? So they started arguing with the shopkeeper Liu of Zuixianlou!
This shopkeeper Liu is the shopkeeper Liu of Zuixianlou in Chang'an City. Nowadays, Zuixianlou has not only opened many branches, but also Li Zexuan has become Wanhuhou, the landlord of Lantian. The shopkeeper of the shop, but voluntarily requested to be deployed to the “branch” in Lantian County. As for the Zuixianlou in Chang'an City, a branch shopkeeper recommended by shopkeeper Liu took over!
Actually, this is the smart place of shopkeeper Liu. He knew very well that the place where Li Zexuan is can be called the main store of Zuixianlou. Now Li Zexuan has lived for a long time in Lantian County, the main store of Zuixianlou in Chang'an City. The name is basically dead in name!
Furthermore, Lantian County has now completely become Li Zexuan's own territory. Shopkeeper Liu feels more at ease here!
"Everyone! Be quiet! Liu has a few words to say!"
Faced with the siege of many "outside" merchants, the shopkeeper Liu had to come out to maintain order. He first yelled, and when the crowd calmed down, he quickly lost his smile and said:
"Guest officials, our Zuixianlou does not have much stock of this batch of Shenxian tea, so we only give priority to the shop owners in Lantian County. This can be regarded as the care of the merchants of Lantian County by my master, Liu Someone knows that you are unhappy, but the amount of fairy tea is still too small. My Lord Hou just wants to give some favors to the people of the fief. Whether it is a farmer, a craftsman, or a merchant, they are all the subjects of my Lord’s fief. Treat equally.
Recently, Lord Hou was repairing ditches and building waterwheels among the people. Now Lord Hou just wants to use fairy tea to bring some benefits to the merchants in the fief. I hope you can understand! Liu knows that all the guest officials love Shenxian tea, but I would like to ask you to wait patiently. After the production of Shenxian tea rises, Qiqu Pavilions in various places will begin to supply them in full! By then, you can buy as much as you want~! "
Ahem, in these words of shopkeeper Liu, there were a lot of private goods, many of which were taught by Li Zexuan!
After shopkeeper Liu said, the merchants underneath were all annoyed.
"Ah? It turned out to be like this! Lord Hou treats the merchants in the fief so well, which really makes me admire!"
"Oh! So there are such benefits when opening a shop in Lantian County? I knew I bought two shops in Lantian County last year!"
"Hey! Brother Sun, it's not too late for you to buy it?"
"It's late, it's late! Now the prices of shops in Lantian County have risen so high, I can't afford it if I want to buy it!"
The merchants from other places sighed and became annoyed, but the "indigenous" merchants in Lantian County couldn't help but want to clap their hands and cheer again and again:
"Haha! Lord Hou is righteous! Fortunately, I have the foresight! At the beginning of the year, I came to Lantian County to open a shop~!"
"Haha! That's right! That's right! It's really rare for Master Hou to treat me like the common people, and treat me equally! I will stay in Lantian County to do business in the future, and I won't go anywhere~!"
"That's it! I only look forward to such good things, and I can come several times!"
"It will! It will!"
"It's better if Lord Hou can drive away all the rogues in the market!"
Since shopkeeper Liu has spoken to this point, and there are still many shop owners in Lantian County who are energetically supporting shopkeeper Liu. Although those foreign merchants are unwilling to say something, they are not allowed to say anything. Can only retreat silently behind the crowd!
And those local merchants in Lantian County happily lined up to prepare for Li Zexuan's "big red envelopes" to be distributed to merchants throughout the county!
Of course, there are also many smart-minded foreign merchants who are just behind the team, and after the people in front have bought the fairy tea, they will directly go up and ask for a price increase!
In other words, after local merchants in Lantian County buy Shenxian tea, they don't have to bother to resell it in other states and counties, and sell it directly to the foreign merchants around, and they can make a small profit!
There is no simpler way to make money in this world~!
However, there is no free lunch in this world. Gains and losses are often balanced with each other.
While the merchants in Lantian County were enjoying this "red envelope feast", they unknowingly fell into the "gentle trap" set by Li Zexuan. When they found out, they were completely reluctant to come out. I would rather stay in the "trap" and be routine than come out!
...........................
Due to the large amount of Shenxian tea being sold in Zuixianlou in Lantian County, there are many temporary teahouses in this county. The so-called temporary teahouse is a small house temporarily separated from the original shop, specially for invitation The kind of guests who taste tea and drink tea!
Here, there is a tea room in the silk shop, there is a tea room in the porcelain shop, and even a coffin shop, so I was frantically set up a temporary tea room!
As for the price at which they sell Shenxian tea, a somewhat "conscientious" boss usually sells a cup of tea for more than 400 yuan, while those "ruthless" bosses directly raise the price of Shenxian tea to five or six hundred yuan. about.
Because these people know very well in their hearts that even though Zuixianlou sells a lot of fairy tea today, it will definitely not be able to sell so much in the short term! In other words, the market stock of Shenxian Tea is just a little bit. When the lower-priced Shenxian tea is sold out, customers can only buy the "high-priced" Shenxian tea in their store!
It doesn’t matter if you have a cup of 400 yuan or five or a cup, it’s much more direct and affordable than the original Zuixianlou “consumption of a slam and a cup of fairy tea” activity!
Furthermore, Shenxian tea is a rare court tribute tea among the folks. Is a cup of 400 yuan really expensive? Last year, every plate of gnawed chicken in Zuixianlou had to be paid consistently!
At least this price is completely affordable for those "petty bourgeois" families!
So, on the first day alone, nearly a thousand diners tasted the legendary fairy tea!
And there is no one who has ever drunk Shenxian tea without saying yes! According to word of mouth, the word of mouth of Shenxian Tea was directly overwhelming, and there was a storm of fairy tea in Lantian County. Diners from Chang'an City and other surrounding counties also came for tea one after another, just for a cup of fairy tea. tea!
Because at present, in the entire Datang, only Lantian County has the largest stock of Shenxian tea, and even Chang'an City is far behind!
However, no matter how large the inventory is, if it is kept out of stock, the inventory will be exhausted sooner or later.
Five days! Only five days have passed!
Under the crazy "consumption" of thousands of diners in Chang'an City and its surrounding more than 20 counties, all the fairy tea stocks of Lantian County merchants were bought out in only five days. Those Lantian County merchants who lined up to receive Shenxian tea before, all made a lot of money!
After consuming all the Shenxian tea, they also went to Drunk Xianlou to find shopkeeper Liu, and wanted to buy Shenxian tea again, but shopkeeper Liu had no stock at all, so naturally they could not get the extra Shenxian tea, but shopkeeper Liu I promised them that when the next batch of Shenxian tea arrives, it will still be supplied first, like the merchants in Lantian County!
The merchants were naturally grateful to shopkeeper Liu and Li Zexuan, but they didn't notice that after they left, shopkeeper Liu showed a honeyed smile!
..........................
The next day.
Lantian County's county government arrested all together. At the eye-catching intersections and gates in the county seat of Lantian County, a notice was posted about the imminent establishment of the Department of Commerce in Lantian County.
"From today, all merchants, farmers, and craftsmen in Lantian County are classified as civilians, and the government treats them equally! In Lantian County, there will only be civilians and scholars in the future! Merchant children can also enter the county to learn, Admitted to Yanhuang Academy. In order to allow businessmen to receive fair and just treatment, Lantian County’s county government officially established the Department of Commerce today in compliance with the order of Yong’an.

When all merchants endanger their own interests by others, You can go to the Department of Commerce in Lantian County to report to the official, and the official of the Department of Commerce will handle it impartially!

Starting from next month, the business tax ratio in Lantian County will be changed from one out of thirty to one out of six. All merchants in Lantian County must Before the end of the month, report the current month's profit to the Department of Commerce. From the total profit, take one out of six as a business tax!

Listed as a key concern~IndoMTL.com~ Any merchant who has accumulated three tax evasion and tax evasion will be directly expelled from Lantian County and will never return to Lantian County to open a shop! "
"Hey~!"
After the merchants in Lantian County read this announcement from the county government, they all heard the air-conditioning sound. Immediately, the merchants couldn't help talking:
"What? The business tax ratio has been changed to six out of one? Such a heavy business tax is extremely rare in history books! Why did the county magistrate kill me and other merchants?"
"Yes! At the beginning, I thought that the county government was for the sake of our merchants, but at the end, I realized that the government wanted to **** our blood!"
"Isn't it! The total profit of the month is taken as a business tax. How can people live?"
"Um... can't you say that? At least in Lantian County, our merchant's status has become higher, and our son can also go to the county to study! You know that there are occasional Yanhuang Academy in this county school. Sir, come to teach! This kind of opportunity, we are in other states and counties, we can't even go if we ask!"
"Eh! That's right! But the business tax ratio of one out of six is still too heavy!"
"It’s not important to me! You didn’t see the notice saying that as long as someone jeopardizes our own interests, he can go to the Department of Commerce to report to the officer, and the officials of the Department of Commerce will deal with it impartially! This alone is better than It’s much better elsewhere! In the future, if someone makes trouble in the shop or collects protection fees, we can go directly to the official of the Department of Commerce to help solve it. In this way, the monthly expenditure may be lower than before!"
"Yes! That's the truth! I don't know whether the Secretary of Commerce is willing to completely clean up the rogues in the market!"
