Chapter 380;

Li Yu answered with confidence;
"Brother, don't worry, I am constantly improving the secret method of wine making, and several wine making masters have tried bravely, and it is quite different now.

If it were last year, at this wine price, the profit would not be too much, but this year is not as good as last year, the same stone of millet can now yield [-]% more wine.

Of course, the capital of Wuliangye will decrease accordingly. As for the amount that the elder brother said to be handed over to the court, it is not a big deal. Not only that, but there will be an additional three hundred. Should the elder brother be relieved of such a result? "

Following the continuous exclamation, Li Yu greatly satisfied his vanity, and even Lu Jishan had a surprised expression on his face. The three hundred dollars he proposed was nothing more than to let Li Yu have a concept of the court in his heart.

It's not really that he was forced to ask for three hundred dollars per bucket of wine, that's no different from roadblocking and robbery. I didn't expect Li Dalang to agree to it without saying anything, and he could give out an extra share, which is really amazing.

You must know that the big households earn their own share, and the imperial court takes the profits of all the liquor sellers in the world. One hundred yuan more is an astonishing amount. Lu Jishan was a little uneasy, so he followed up and asked;
"Didn't you lie to me, my virtuous brother? These six hundred coins are a huge amount. Although brother Yu has never run a dirty wine business, he also knows that grain and millet are all exchanged for money. He gave a bucket of seven hundred to the rich.
Give the court another six hundred, and there will be a few left. If those generals have no profit, they will definitely not do it! "

"It's okay, brother don't need to worry, the little brother knows what's in his mind, he won't lose too much on either side, try to balance it."

The six officials under Lu Jishan were all silent, so Yuanwai couldn't hold back after thinking about it, so he asked;
"County Bo Rong said that the number of seven hundred is okay, but for those counties that are too far away, it is inevitable that there will be complaints, so what can I do?"

Li Yu smiled relaxedly;

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, the price of wine is already much higher than I imagined, so there is no need to be afraid in this regard, we can calculate the expenditure of people and horses, hay, dry grain and millet, and add some.

For example, based on the system of two hundred miles, those within two hundred miles of Chang'an City will be given five thousand three thousand for each bucket of wine, and for each bucket of wine within four hundred miles outside the two hundred miles, a hundred dollars will be given to those coolies. After eating, the big households within four hundred miles and eight hundred miles will be reduced by a hundred dollars a bucket.

In this way, those big households will have nothing to say. I don’t know if this arrangement will work. Please say a few more words about what you think. "

Lu Jishan was the first to disagree this time;
"No, my virtuous brother is too benevolent. I don't know the way of business. It's not good to just think about others. Let some go here, share a little there, and subtract a hundred dollars every two hundred miles. This is a profit. What if the head is divided and cleaned?"

The member surnamed Liu immediately stood up to support his doctor;
"That's right, the county uncle is too kind. This is not the way to do business. Besides, the big households save two hundred dollars for every bucket of wine, and they may not receive the favor of the county uncle. They have to ask for a lot of money and take away a lot of money." There are plenty of people who drive cars, so we can’t get used to them too much.”

A skinny man next to Mr. Liu kept nodding his head and said in agreement;

"Exactly, let's talk about those big families who are [-] miles away. It's a bit far away, but every time they come to fetch wine, they don't march to fight a war. It is enough to dispatch dozens of servants. How much grain can they eat along the way?" ?

Pull thousands of buckets at a time, and save more than a hundred pennies. How can there be enough food and drink? Isn’t it saved to those big households in the end?

Giving it to the county uncle in vain cost a lot, so I ask the county uncle to discuss it with my doctor before making a decision. "

Li Yu is a person who listens to people's persuasion to eat enough, and he is very grateful to hear that people think more about himself, so he cupped his hands and made a simple salute;

"Thank you brother for considering me. Since a hundred dollars is a bit too much, please brothers decide what to do. The younger brother means try not to have too little. I always feel that doing business is the same as being a human being. I suffer a little bit and make others feel bad." It is a good thing to get some, but it is a blessing to suffer losses.

If more allowances were given for the drinking, the big households would not be able to save all of it. In the future, the coolies who pull the wine can eat better and be full, so they can accumulate Yinde! "

Lu Jishan asked the six subordinates;

"Everyone thinks how much is appropriate, neither too much nor too little, my brother's considerations are also unique, they are all fair and honest ideas, you must listen to them.

We also have children and grandchildren, and we don't live alone. Of course, we have to cultivate some merits for future generations. Isn't it a bad thing? "

"That's right, what the doctor said is reasonable, it's better to be kind."

"That's right, what do you think, for every two hundred miles, for the big drinkers, how about a bucket of wine minus seventy dollars?

It just so happens that a bucket of wine makes a profit of [-], and if the distance is far away, it saves another [-]. First, it is easy to settle accounts, and second, the two sevens make up two auspicious numbers. Please consider it again with the county magistrate and doctor. "

Li Yu nodded and looked at Lu Jishan, waiting for him to make a final decision. Lu Jishan looked at Li Yu and nodded, and directly agreed;

"Well, according to Mr. Liu's proposal, for every two hundred miles of big households who buy wine, seventy qian will be deducted. Brother, do you think it is possible to do so?"

"Of course, just follow what Yuanwai Liu said."

Lu Jishan then asked again;

"Then my dear brother, how should we price our second, higher quality wine, have you ever thought about it?"

Before Li Yu could speak, Zhu Bo, who had spoken before, spoke immediately;

"Reporting to the county uncle, Wuliangye, which is much tastier than ten-thousand-a-dou high-grade turbid wine, sold for six thousand, which is not enough.

This time it can't go on like this anymore, if the common people are greedy, or if they want to entertain guests, they can buy a few catties of Wuliangye and come back, and they will have a face.

This higher-quality liquor is much more mellow and full-bodied. It is really a fairy wine, suitable for sale to those rich and powerful families, children of aristocratic families, and merchants.

These people all have a common problem. There is no shortage of money and silk at home, so there is no need to worry too much. "

Lu Jishan also agreed with these very much, turned to Li Yu and said;

"That's right, what you said is all right. You don't have to feel sorry for those rich people. You are willing to spend a thousand coins. This is better. Isn't it worth a hundred coins?"

"Brother, don't worry, I think the same way. Since there is no shortage of money, how about setting a price of ten guan?"

As soon as Li Yu said this, everyone immediately objected;

"Uncle Qi, ten guans are too few. After all, they were sold for thousands of guans before, and suddenly they are so low. Is the gap between before and after this too big?"

"Exactly, if you want me to say it, you can buy it if you like it."

"That's good, but brother Wang, don't forget, before there was no wine to eat, the rich people just drove up the price of wine, and now it's selling big, and then it's a bit inappropriate to order a bucket of [-] strings, right?"

"Liu Yuanwai's words are very reasonable, and the lower officials think that thirty guan and one dou are appropriate..."

"No, brother Zheng's [-] guan is too little, at least [-] guan will be needed."

"Hey, fifty is a bit too much. If I say a bucket of thirty guan is just right, I don't know what you think?"

Lu Jishan not only did not stop the discussion of the six subordinates, but also participated in it himself;
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu thinks thirty guan is not too much, what do you think?"

"Thirty is also fine. I just heard a few brothers say that it is too little, and I thought in my heart that if it is too low, I will use [-] guan. When it comes to [-] guan, I can do it, but I don't know how long it will take. Do householders think it’s too expensive?”

Then Liu Yuanwai directly replaced his doctor, and answered with a smile;

"If you go back to the county uncle, you won't think it's expensive, and you won't buy it if you think it's too expensive. If you can afford it, you don't care about the ten or twenty.

However, what the county magistrate said made sense. If there is no shortage all year round in the future, 31 dou is indeed a little too much.

Xiaguan felt that it would be better to look at the output of the county uncle. If it is true that it cannot keep up with the rich households, it does not matter if it is higher. It is true that there is too much brewing, so naturally it must be lowered. "

Li Yu looked up at the roof, his voice was full of confidence;

"No matter how much we brew, it can be called this high-quality spirit, and it has always been in a state of not being sold enough.

For example, we can limit the number of catties and buckets of high-quality wine purchased by big households, so as to control the amount of baijiu in the world. "

Lu Jishan also thought about it carefully in his heart, and felt that there was nothing wrong with thirty guan, not to mention thirty guan for a bucket, even three hundred guan for a bucket could not stop the rich people's desire to buy.

They all take face very seriously, and they are not short of money to use. Who cares about these, if you think it is too expensive, you can buy [-] buckets to save more. Lu Jishan finally spoke after repeated confirmation;
"In this case, let's set the number of thirty guan and one dou. However, the amount of this high-grade baijiu and last year's Wuliangye has to be determined. Otherwise, they will all come out and make a lot of money. There is a way."

Li Yu talked for a long time with dry mouth and a little hungry. He just wanted to finish things quickly and go to that building for dinner, so he made a quick final decision;
"The day after tomorrow I started trying to sell them, just to let them know that they won't lose money if they follow the imperial court. It's not for a big sale. There are hundreds of households in total. If each household gets back ten dou, the money we saved will be gone immediately.

But there is no need to worry, the 28 workshops in Lantian are non-stop day and night, and three teams work in rotation, so they can keep up, so it was decided.

Each family will receive ten buckets of Wuliangye first, and then five buckets of Immortals will go back drunk to see if they can be sold within three days, and also try the purchasing power of Chang'an City. "

Lu Jishan repeated in his mouth;

"Immortal Drunk, Immortal Drunk, Immortal Drunk After Eating, Yes, Very Good, Nice Name.

That day in Du Shangshu's mansion, brother Yu ate seventy percent full according to his usual thinking, and kept three percent awake to avoid embarrassment.

As a result, for some reason, when I was talking to my old brothers, my legs and feet became weak and my tongue got stuck. I was afraid that I would offend others by saying something wrong, so I hid in the corner in fright.

Originally, he wanted to rest for a while to feel better, so he hurriedly said his goodbyes and left, but instead of resting, he became even more drunk, and finally passed out drunk in the corner of the hall.

The servant who went with me carried me into the carriage and dragged me back to the mansion. When I got up the next day, Aye scolded me and complained that I shouldn't be so greedy.

In front of His Majesty and civil and military officials, I drank unconsciously, Brother Yu didn't dare to speak up, he could only bow his head and admit his mistake, but in my heart, I was really wronged.

At the beginning, I really didn't drink too much, and I didn't dare to eat enough, but I couldn't stop the alcohol later.

I thought I was the only one who made a fool of myself, and I was a little ashamed to see others, but after inquiring, few of the old brothers who went there that day returned sober.

It’s because it’s the first time I ate this Immortal Drunk, and I thought it would be the same as last year’s Wuliangye. I heard that Your Majesty has eaten the Immortal Drunk sent by my virtuous brother several times.

Knowing the power of it, he kept holding on to it, and only got dizzy after eating, without any discomfort. Most of the other civil and military officials passed out drunk on the spot.

Now hearing the name of this fine wine from Xiandi, it would make immortals faint after drinking it, it is really very appropriate. "

Liu Yuanwai also followed suit;
"The fine wine that can make those great generals drunk, the title of immortal drunk is naturally well-deserved, but I haven't tasted it yet, and it will be sold in a few days.

Xiaguan also went to buy two catties to taste it with his family. Every time the county uncle made a shot in the past, it was a blockbuster. Xiaguan thought that this immortal drunk must be worthy of the name, and it was extremely delicious. "

The member surnamed Zheng also followed suit;

"Yes, yes, the magistrate is always amazing. Don't mention anything else, just talk about the iron pot food. Now I can't live without a meal. If I eat the white water boiled in the past, I will not eat it." I don’t even want to eat a bite.”

Li Yu looked at it and said that it was almost the same. According to the plan, he had to check those warehouses again. Li Yu didn't want to delay, so he said directly;
"Brothers, we are almost done. We can arrange for people and horses to pass on the registered families this afternoon, and come to the household department to collect liquor the day after tomorrow. Let's go to the major warehouses now, and then we can go out for lunch. gone."

Lu Jishan followed and stood up;

"Isn't it? I've been talking about it for a long time before I know it. You must be starving. Let's go for a walk. Brother Yu will take you to see the warehouses of our Cangbu Division, and then hurry to Wanhe Restaurant Use some daytime food to fill your stomach quickly."

"Brother first please."

"My dear brother, please."

"it is good."

The two left the hall side by side, Li Yu's personal maid, Yingxiang, followed closely behind, followed by two tall servants.

The six officials also followed one by one. A group of people left the lobby of Cangbu Division and walked towards the backyard. Slow, so easy...
