Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 384;

Chapter 380;
Li Yu yelled 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 don't know what kind of tricks County Uncle Li is going to play this year. Please let me know, so I can be prepared."

Since the start of the layout last year, I have tried my best to pull the emperor and a group of important ministers into my chariot, and I have worked hard for several months to experiment with brewing.
It was not until this year that a winemaking workshop of that size was rebuilt, and later brought wine to Chang'an City for storage, Li Yu exhausted all his efforts and broke his heart.

Today is finally the season to prepare for the harvest, Li Yu no longer has to hide and hide, and directly opens the skylight to speak honestly, and the whole thing is straightforward;
"So that all the elder brothers know that this year is different from before, my younger brother has received an order from the imperial court. In the future, all places in the Tang Dynasty will have the imperial court to unify the price of spirits sold.

Any shop that sells spirits must not maliciously raise the price of alcohol, not even a lot of money, otherwise the imperial court will come forward to clean up the mess, and you will be punished and beaten, no matter if you are a prince or aristocrat or a family door valve.

Of course, merchants who are willing to sell at low prices are not subject to restrictions. You don’t need to give money to others. The imperial court will not talk to you, please feel free. "

Li Yu's joke immediately elicited roars of laughter, and a drinker among the crowd scrambled to speak, as if someone was afraid that his mouth would be blocked;

"The imperial court's arrangement is very good. Like last year, the price of Wuliangye wine in Uncle Li County is not too expensive, and we can all accept it.

However, there was a shortage of goods in the market, and in the end, a catty of spirits cost a thousand bucks. It was really messy. How much can anyone afford with a thousand dollars?

Today the imperial court issued such an order, I am no longer afraid that those teeth will do it indiscriminately, if the price of the wine is reasonable, there is no need to waste my words, I will buy ten buckets of him first to have a good time, lest it will be out of stock again at some point. "

As soon as this person's voice fell to the ground, a companion beside him immediately responded;
"My dear brother, your thinking is too simple. The writing in the court must be good. However, as long as there is a shortage in the market, the price of wine will increase wildly. At that time, it will be a dilemma. Wait, then."

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately picked up the words;
"Isn't it? Some time ago, the price of wine was as high as thousands of guan, but it's vivid in my memory. It's only been a long time. I'm afraid that the court's writing... can't stop the market in the market."

"Yes, yes, brother's words are not false. A thousand guanna is not a thousand dollars. Even if I wait for the children of the aristocratic family, I can't stand it for a long time. It's a prodigal son, but I can't control it." The wine worm in my stomach, alas..."

Thinking of the crazy price of wine not long ago, the crowd immediately started to riot again, and everyone started talking about each other.

Lu Jishan coughed, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, with a serious expression on his face;

"Brothers, don't worry, after Wuliangye starts selling in the future, there will be no shortage of goods in the market, and there will be wine shops all over the world. If the teeth are low in and high out, there is nowhere to hide.

The brothers of the family may not know that Li Xianbo stepped up his efforts at the beginning of spring this year and built 28 winemaking workshops in one go.

The laborers were divided into three shifts and rushed to work day and night. Everyone no longer had to worry about the situation that there would be no good wine to eat. "

"Yeah, that's really nice."

"Yes, yes, the 28 winemaking workshops are open day and night, which will definitely ensure that there will be no shortage of goods in the market. We will have a good fortune in the future..."

In the crowd, a young man with a white face and a scholastic appearance sighed fiercely at a man who was a few years older beside him;

"Brother, the two of us will never have to face those liquor dealers anymore. Looking at their rare faces, I want to beat them to death."

"Well, as long as there is no shortage of good wine for sale in the market, my brother won't have to look at those disgusting faces in the future.

Don't talk about you, brother, I almost couldn't hold back when I was a brother last time. At that time, I thought in my heart, asking the servant to go up and break the dog's leg of that person, it's too much deception. Is he holding five catties of Wuliangye in his hand? Damn it, I'm so angry..."

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 suitable for my brother. After all, you are the head of the Cangbu Division. Brother, don't keep everyone waiting, tell them directly."

Lu Jishan agreed casually, then looked up at the restaurant lobby, where more than 20 children from aristocratic families shouted loudly;

"Brothers, after discussing with the officials from the Licang Department of the Ministry of Households, the price of Wuliangye will be set at [-] yuan for a bucket of wine in the future. I wonder if everyone is satisfied with the price set by the imperial court?"

After Lu Jishan finished speaking, there was no expected cheer. In the lobby of the restaurant, there was a complete silence, and no one spoke. The scene was so embarrassing that Lu Jishan couldn't get off the stage.

The more than 20 people in front of them were stunned for a while, and an older man couldn't help asking;

"Langzhong Lu just said how much, but my younger brother didn't hear it very clearly, but six thousand dollars a bucket?"

This person purposely put six thousand coins, biting them very hard, for fear of making a mistake in the amount, Lu Jishan waited for someone to ask a question, and immediately explained it aloud;

"It's [-] yuan a bucket, you heard me right, His Majesty loves those ordinary people, because the price is so high that they can't taste this delicacy in the world.

Therefore, I arranged for Li Xianbo to find a way. Li Xianbo checked many ancient books and found some long-lost knowledge from Luban's secret method.

He created new wine-making tools and improved the secret method of wine-making, which greatly increased the production of wine. His Majesty loves the people like a son, and feels sorry for the people's hard-earned money.

That's why he gritted his teeth and lowered the price of wine to this point. If it's [-] yuan, and some people think it's too expensive, then I'm really sorry, and I can only eat dirty wine. "

After Lu Jishan finished speaking, he quietly looked at the crowd in front of him. There was a bang in the crowd, and a group of people chattered. Many people still couldn't believe the super low price of wine, and some even spoke loudly. The price should not be so low!Why did it drop so much?
Li Yu also knows that this is the effect of inertial thinking. Everyone is used to the high price, and the sudden low price is beyond imagination, which is difficult for many people to accept.

After everyone recovered for a while, Lu Jishan spoke again;
"The Xianrenzui we brewed this year doesn't cost [-] yuan. The output of Xianrenzui is one of the few, and it takes a lot of manpower and millet, so the price of Xianrenzui is very high."

The crowd heard that the price of immortal drunkenness is very high, not only did not have a strong reaction, but surprisingly they all accepted it, and more than [-] children from aristocratic families began to agree.

"High? How high can it be?"

"No matter how tall I am, I can still afford it."

"That's it. The higher the price, the better we can show that we are different. It's better to be higher. The price of six thousand a bucket is not as high as the price of fine wine. If we buy it and eat it, we will lose our status. Ridiculous?"

"That's right, since ancient times there have been differences in respect and inferiority. Wuliangye was originally good wine, but at the price of [-] yuan, even ordinary people can afford it.

I wait for the children of the aristocratic family to drink the same wine as the common people. Why does a certain family think it's weird? This immortal is more serious if he is drunk, and he can't drink the same wine with the poor people every day? "

Lu Jishan looked at Li Yu and whispered;

"Brother, look, brother Yu is not wrong, right? This immortal drunk has to be priced higher. These people are not afraid of the high price of your wine at all. On the contrary, they will take the high price of wine as glory and rush to buy it."

Li Yu shook his head when he heard this, thinking in his heart that it is nothing rare for people who just have a few filthy money and don't know their surname, aren't all the rich people in the previous life like this?

Those with iPhones don’t have pockets, those with tattoos always feel hot and have to lift up their clothes, and those who wear watches always like to roll up the cuffs of their clothes. No one cares.

There are also those rich people who share their circle of friends every day, including cars, meals, and high-end girlfriends, and what’s more, they just take a pile of cash to take pictures, all kinds of things.

It is nothing more than an empty heart, no accumulation of foundation, more money and no worries about food and clothing, and I don't know how to live, so I start all kinds of comparisons.

I want to use this method to show off how unattainable and unique my circle, life, and standards are. I didn't expect this to happen in ancient times. They are all a group of people who are bullied but not needled.

Li Yu looked at Lu Jishan with a half-smile, and made a perfunctory sentence;
"It's still elder brother who is very experienced and can figure out the thoughts of these people thoroughly and clearly. I really admire him very much."

Lu Jishan didn't take this flattery, but he didn't care about it;

"The virtuous brother is also from a prominent family in Longxi, how could he not know the true nature of the children of the aristocratic family?
That's right, imagine that the environment in which Xiandi grew up is very different from ours. The only family in Lantian County is Xiandi Li's family.

My virtuous brother grew up and didn't get in touch with other aristocratic families, so naturally he doesn't understand their thoughts. Speaking of which, I have to admire, the old county man is really amazing, he took good care of the environment in which my virtuous brother grew up.

There is no style of extravagance, no style of comparison, and the younger brother has grown up quietly. He has only been studying and learning since he was a child. Of course, he can't understand the thoughts of these people. "

"That's right, my younger brother has never had contact with any other aristocratic children since he was a child, and the only outsider he has contact with is the teacher who taught me to read.

Many times I have the illusion that my family is a rich farmer in the countryside, nothing more than having more fields and nothing else. "

The six officials who had been standing by the side laughed wryly in their hearts, and Liu Yuanwai whispered with the smile;

"If the county uncle's family is just a rich peasant, we will be a real beggar."

Zheng Yuanwai also added a joke;
"Isn't that right? The county uncle's family is the first family in Longxi, the authentic second wife of the Li family, and the only heir to the head of the family. What a noble status and countless wealth. If you are a rich peasant, we really don't know how to accept it." Talk."

Li Yu's smiling interface;

"Brothers, don't laugh at me, the younger brother just said it casually and don't care about it."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he pointed to the lively crowd below, then nodded his stomach, stood smiling and said nothing, Lu Jishan nodded, and said loudly to the crowd;

"Okay! Okay, brothers, you don't have to guess. I can tell you clearly that the price of this kind of wine is not low for this immortal drunk. of!"

The fat man standing at the front said with a disdainful expression on his face;

"Hey! I thought how high the price of the wine was, and I still wondered in my mind for a while, it turns out that it's only [-] guan for a bucket, can this be considered high?"

The brothers next to the fat man also started making noise;

"Isn't it? Just now I have been guessing in my heart. Since the immortal is so drunk, it must cost at least a few hundred guan for a catty. I didn't expect it to sell for only [-] guan for a bucket. Cut..."

Many people would sneer at the sound of Thirty Guan, but their attitude is the same, as easy as you want.

Another person asked cautiously;

"The doctor's words are true. If you only sell [-] guan for a bucket, it's not that I'm boasting. I don't mention my family's own property, and I can enjoy it year after year. Even if I eat a catty every day, I don't care about it." That's it."

After hearing this, Li Yu stopped being silent, what he wanted was this kind of effect, if the setting was too high, he would not be able to make money every day, after thinking for a while, Li Yu just accepted it;

"What this elder brother said is exactly the point. If you sell a thousand guan [-] bucket, you will naturally be able to eat it. The question is how many times can you eat it?
Although the money of a thousand guan is not much, if you eat like this every day, it will cost tens of thousands of guan in a year. No matter how big the family is, it can't stand such a toss.

This bucket of thirty guan is not the same, even if you eat two or three catties every now and then, it will not cause any major problems, you have your face and your mood, isn't it beautiful? "

Li Yu's words were on the point. A group of children from aristocratic families thought about it carefully. Isn't that the case? If the price of wine is a thousand dollars, no one would dare to eat it every day.

If the family continues to prodigal like that, the family will be broken up in two years, and no one can afford it. From this point of view, the price of thirty guan wine is the most reasonable.

Thinking of this, this group of people began to be more satisfied again. They praised the imperial court and sympathized with the people like them, and praised Cangbu Division for its just right pricing. They were extremely busy.

Li Yu saw that it was almost the same, and said in a loud voice;

"There are ten altars of fairy drunk here. If any brother wants to eat, leave thirty silver coins, and you can taste it today. This is not last year. It was sold for two catties and three catties. Today, if you buy it, it is twelve catties. It is enough to invite distinguished guests once and meet friends.

It's still the old rule to pay the money with one hand and get the goods with the other hand. Isn't that brother just now a little unsure, and we sell it on the spot here, which also makes you brothers feel at ease.

Since the imperial court set a price of [-] guan, it will never go back on its word, so everyone can rest assured that if any brother is interested, he can trade on the spot. "

Immediately the first two in the crowd, the two of them quietly went out the door when others were talking just now, and called their servants to come in with the money, and they would go straight forward, handing over the money with one hand, and getting the goods with the other. , leaving thirty guan, holding an altar in his arms.

One of them quickly and anxiously opened the jar seal on the spot, and a mellow aroma of wine wafted out immediately.

The 30-something-year-old boy from an aristocratic family closed his eyes, twitched his nose twice, picked up the small grapes prepared by the shopkeeper of the restaurant, hooked them out and poured one or two into a wine respecter next to him.

First he took a sip of a snack, then smacked his lips, with a strange look on his face, he was left with those rich people, inexplicably, after waiting for a long time, this guy drank what was left in the wine shop, and aftertaste for a while , deep in thought.

The children of those aristocratic families who were onlookers immediately became unhappy. This mother has been waiting for you for a long time, just wanting to know how drunk this new fairy is. What do you mean? What is the reason for the same?
Those who were impatient and had a close relationship with this person couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at the top of their voices;

"I said Wang Balang, what kind of ghost are you showing off, you ate and tasted, whether it is good or bad, if you fart, I will know what to expect?"

"Yeah, let me give you a word..."

Seeing several people urging, Wang Balang, who was drinking, shook his head with an expression like an endorsement, and sighed leisurely;

"The name of this wine is Immortal Drunk, it really makes sense, this kind of fine wine is exactly what the gods in the sky enjoy.

It's very suitable for a certain family's status. After eating this fairy drunk, the Wuliangye family will no longer look up to it. It's just that the certain family is still a little worried. Will it be like last year, eating this meal without a second meal? , I also asked the county uncle to teach me. "

Li Yu looked at this person's pretentious appearance, laughed loudly and said;

"Brother, don't worry, the day after tomorrow it will be sold all over Chang'an City. From now on, this kind of spirit drunk by immortals will be sold in the market every day.

As long as the elder brother is willing to give up the thirty pennies of silver, it is common for him to eat a catty every day. The 28 workshops are open day and night, so there is still not enough for the elder brother to eat? "

After listening to Li Yu's assurance, everyone was in a good mood, and several of them began to point out the pretender;

"I'm talking about Wang Balang, you're pretending to be quite similar, why are you suitable for this kind of wine, and you're not afraid of slipping your tongue when you speak?"

"That's right, is it suitable for you alone? We are also children of aristocratic families, and our status is not much lower than yours. Is it not suitable for me?"

That friend who just scolded Wang Balang with a smile, spoke again;
"I'm talking bastard, it's easy for you to say, if your fate is not good, and you are reborn in the home of a good person in that kind of place, in your life, can you afford to eat thirty barrels of fine wine?"
