I want to be a grandson

Chapter 183 Luxury
As soon as they heard that the Department of Commerce and Trade of the Ministry of Households was going to sell imperial wine, the nobles all expressed their support!
For these top noble generals, Zhu Yuanzhang sometimes gave them imperial wine.

But no matter how many rewards there are, how many can there be?
You can't drink it every day!

It's different now, as long as you have money in your hands, you can drink to your heart's content!

The second thing is to show support for Zhu Yunxi!

As for whether it is really Yujiu or not, they still have a name, they don't care.

Zhu Yunxi also expressed his gratitude for this. They were kind anyway, so how could I not appreciate it.

After that, the honorable generals talked about Zhu Yunxi's guards again.

They also recommended their relatives and friends one after another. After all, once they enter His Highness's guard, they will be the emperor's own army. Is there anything more important than Jane being in the emperor's heart?
Moreover, it is also customary for the sons and daughters of families of honorable officials and important court officials to enter the guards of the emperor and the crown prince.

One is to ensure the loyalty of the guards, and the other is to show favor to the ministers in the court.

Only when the two sides are closely connected can they be more loyal and absolute.

So Zhu Yunxi did not reject it.

There is no need for Zhu Yunxi to tell them that all guards must be selected and trained, and all unqualified ones will be eliminated.

This is what it should be, and besides, they all crawled out of the dead, and they won't pamper their families.

The nobles knew that the household department was busy, so they didn't bother me too much, so they said goodbye and left.

Zhu Yunxi understood that they came here to convey a message to Zhu Yuanzhang and himself, and they supported him.

Because they are different from civil servants, only by obedience and loyalty can they not be suspected or feared.

Those who can live to stand are all human beings.

……

"My minister Tie Xuan, see His Highness King Wu! Congratulations to Your Highness!"

After sending off Xungui, Tie Xuan came to pay respects again, and immediately bowed down as soon as he entered the household department.

"Congratulations and congratulations, Mr. Dingshi, please stand up!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.

Tie Xuan was ridiculed, and he was very happy, "Your Highness, you are really very mighty in wearing royal clothes and wearing a crown!"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at him and said, "Master Dingshi is really free, so there is no government affairs to be busy with?"

"Uh……"

Tie Xuan was choked, and quickly bowed to salute and said: "This subordinate is about to report, Your Highness, the first batch of wine has been filled and ready to sell."

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "If that's the case, then you can sell it. Do you have to worry about such a small matter?"

Tie Xuan said embarrassingly: "Your Highness, I don't know how much to sell, so please give me your advice."

Zhu Yunxi nodded. The gold and jade liquid will generate a lot of profits in the future, so it really needs to be carefully considered.

After deliberating for a while, Zhu Yunxi said: "Ordinary shochu wine costs [-] renminbi per bottle, rice wine and cooking wine are cheaper... a pot of bean wine is [-] renminbi, in this case, the minimum price of gold and jade liquid is [-] renminbi, which is equivalent to [-] renminbi in silver. Two, the price will be increased later."

It is recorded in "Miscellaneous Notes of the Wanshu Bureau" that shochu wine is fifty taels per bottle, rice wine is nineteen taels per bottle, bean wine is two hundred taels per jar, and cooking wine is forty taels per jar.

The price of Qu, according to "Wanli Accounting Records" records that Huaiqu is discounted by ten yuan per catty, and it is recorded that red yeast rice is 64 yuan per catty.

As for the price of distiller's grains, it only costs six to seven yuan per catty according to the "Notes to the Factory Storehouse of the Ministry of Industry".

Although Tie Xuan knew that the price would be relatively high, he was still a little surprised when he heard that the bottle cost two taels of silver.

Even if you are an official, you can't buy a few bottles with a year's salary.

Who can bear this!

The key is to increase the price in the future...

It seems that His Highness is really not going to make money from ordinary people!

Tie Xuan blushed slightly, and said, "Your Highness, why don't you give me a few bottles to taste? Otherwise, if someone asks, it's really hard for my subordinates to describe the taste..."

"Don't you have a salary? If you want to buy it yourself! You have to remember that the top and bottom of the Department of Commerce and Trade must abide by it and never allow private instruction!"

After all, there is a need to work from top to bottom in everything. Once the people at the top get loose, there will be many moths below!
At that time, all that will be lost will be his own money!
Tie Xuan said with a look of embarrassment: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate understands. It's just that this subordinate's salary has to support the family... I really can't afford it, and drinking this wine is too extravagant..."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "You're right, what I sell is not wine, but luxury goods!"

Someone once made a statistic, adding various costs, those famous wines are only 80 yuan.

But the reason why they can be popular with so many people, and the price far exceeds the cost by many times, is because it has been separated from the existence of ordinary needs.

The added value on it is positioned as a luxury.

It is also for this reason that others are enthusiastically pursuing it.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Tie Xuan with a troubled face again, and said with a smile: "Don't make a sad face, don't say you can't afford it, I have to weigh it when I drink it!"

He also ordered: "On the first day, only one thousand bottles will be sold in the capital, and it will only be sold to dignitaries and officials at all levels. Others have no right to buy."

Tie Xuan frowned and said, "Your Highness, wouldn't this cause excitement among the crowd?"

Although the price is high, it is not really unaffordable.

Moreover, this is fine wine for the royal family, royal wine, who wouldn't want to have a cup and taste it?
Royal wine is sold publicly, but I can't buy it myself, it will definitely cause public outrage!

Zhu Yunxie said with a sly smile on his face, "Then it won't be too late to sell it when the crowd is excited!"

Tie Xuan also laughed and said, "Your Highness is really good at whetting people's appetite..."

When something is popular, hunger marketing will increase the popularity and stimulate people's desire to buy.

There may not be such a word yet, but many merchants are very aware of this method of selling.

At this time, Tie Xuan also said confidently: "Your Highness, more and more scholars are pouring into the capital. This group of scholars like arty the most. I believe that the gold and jade liquid will definitely sell a lot!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and asked, "I asked you to invite merchants from all over the world. How is this going?"

"Your Highness, please rest assured that many merchants from all over the world have come and are living in the post house."

"Then just let them take a look at what it means to do business!"

Tie Xuan said flatteringly: "If Your Highness becomes a businessman, there will be no way for them to survive!"

Just as they were talking, Yu Xin, Fu Youwen, and Qi Tai came together.

He saluted and said, "My subordinates will see His Royal Highness King Wu!"

"Get up, we often meet in the household department, so there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you His Highness King Wu!"

Zhu Yunxi saw that their expressions were different, Yu Xin and Fu Youwen hid behind, frequently winking at Qi Tai.

They knew that their relationship with them was not as close as Qi Tai, so they signaled Qi Tai to report to themselves.
