I’m Marquis in Great Tang

The two tea bowls are placed, Cai Bida first takes out the tea from the first teahouse and puts them in the tea bowl for brewing. Immediately, Cai Pida took out the tea leaves of World’s First tea, and also took out a little bit of it and brewed it in a tea bowl.

Two kinds of tea, brewed quickly.

Immediately, Cai Bida poured out the teas of the two kinds of tea separately, and brought them to Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng, and invited Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng to comment.

Cai Bida has an expression of expectation on his face, saying: “His Royal Highness Crown Prince, Wei Herald to the Crown, please!”

Li Jiancheng first picked up the tea from the first tea house, lightly Take a sip. This sip of tea rolls in the throat, and finally enters the stomach. The aroma of tea diffuses through the taste buds, which is very good.

Li Jiancheng slightly nodded.

He has drunk the tea leaves of World’s First tea and knows the taste of World’s First tea. Although the taste of World’s First tea is better overall, it is also limited.

Immediately, Li Jiancheng took another sip of World’s First tea.

Comparing the two tea soups, Li Jiancheng once again had a careful aftertaste. The tea of ​​World’s First tea still has a slight upper hand, but in fact, if you don’t taste it carefully, you are not a tea drinker. The subtle gap between the tea leaves is simply insignificant. After all, the gap is simply insignificant. .

Wei Zheng also commented.

Well, Wei Zheng is also a good tea person. He tasted it carefully, which was also slightly nodded. World’s First tea, well known. There is still some gap between the tea from the First Tea House, although it is far from World’s First tea.

In fact, the gap is not big.

Cai Bida has confidence in his tea. So after waiting for Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng to taste the tea, he asked: “His Royal Highness, what do you think of the tea in our No. 1 Tea House?” Li Jiancheng said: “The No. 1 Tea House The tea is also good. Although it is still a little worse than the World’s First tea, in fact, if you don’t taste it carefully, you can’t tell the difference. But Shopkeeper Cai, it’s a little bit worse, that’s it. It’s bad. Since you are a tea maker, you have to keep working hard to catch up with Du Qi’s tea.”

Wei Zheng said: “His Royal Highness Crown Prince makes sense.”

Cai Bida calmed down and said: “His Royal Highness Crown Prince, Wei Herald to the Crown, tea is invented by Du Qi after all, so Du Qi may have a secret recipe in his hands.”

” So much so that the tea in our No. 1 Teahouse, no matter how you study it, it’s so bad.”

“But please rest assured, Your Royal Highness Crown Prince, our people have been developing tea manufacturing. A tea shop will definitely strive to produce tea that can replace Du Qi tea.”

“It’s just now, it hasn’t been successful yet. Even so, our tea is more expensive than Du Qi’s tea. World’s First tea is lower. In fact, when it comes to quality, it is not much worse.”

Cai Bida is very confident.

Li Jiancheng said: “This is indeed the truth.”

paused, Li Jiancheng said again: “Then, what is your second thing?”

p>

Cai Bida said resolutely: “The success of tea depends on the taste of the tea itself, which is fundamental. On the other hand, it depends on the promotion of tea. So this second thing, my plan Yes, I plan to hold a large-scale promotional event this month to increase tea sales.”

Li Jiancheng didn’t understand, and asked: “What does it mean to hold a large-scale promotional event? “

Wei Zheng also has a puzzled expression on his face.

Promotions.

He hasn’t heard of this thing at all, and he doesn’t understand it.

Cai Bida explained: “His Royal Highness, the word “promotion” came out of Du Qi’s mouth. This word means that the tea in the tea shop is sold at a reduced price. “

“For example, the original price of a box of tea is ten dollars. During the promotion period, if you buy ten boxes of tea, you can sell it at 90% or 87% of the price.”

“In short, there will be a discount.”

Cai Bida said: “The advantage of the discount is that the more you buy, the greater the discount. This is the so-called promotion. A means to increase sales.”

Wei Zheng frowned: “This tea, how can it be impossible for a box of ten coins.”

The ten coins are already quite large. A sum of money.

Li Jiancheng also nodded in agreement.

When Cai Bida heard this, he shook his head and chuckled. He patiently explained, “Wei Herald to the Crown, I just said that I bought tea for ten bucks, just an example. The specific price, The price of the tea in the store shall prevail. In short, this promotion is for countless people to buy tea on a large scale. This is the so-called promotion.”

Li Jiancheng understood, and nodded:” Interesting, this promotion is interesting.”

He is now very applauded.

Wei Zheng also showed a smile on his face, and said, “Yes, the method you used is really good. Alas, Du Qi, the youngster, is really hateful. It is the whimsical thoughts in his mind. It’s endless.”

Cai Bida continued: “Since there is a promotion, in fact, the greater the influence during the promotion period, the greater the help to the store. So I hope that during the promotion period, His Royal Highness Crown Prince can visit the store in person to promote our store.”

After speaking, Cai Bida looked at Li Jiancheng.

For a businessman like Cai Bida, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, that is the existence that can only be looked up to.

If Li Jiancheng visits the first teahouse in person, the teahouse will surely be a big success. You know, Du Qi’s tea shop, when Li Shimin came with officials from the Prince of Qin’s mansion, made it popular.

Li Jiancheng is thinking.

Weigh the pros and cons.

Wei Zheng said solemnly: “His Royal Highness, the humble duty thinks that this is feasible. His Royal Highness Crown Prince did not go there for any plot, just because he thought the tea from the First Tea House tasted good, so he specialized Go to publicity. You know, the Prince of Qin went to Du Qi’s tea shop in the past.”

Li Jiancheng heard Wei Zheng’s persuasion and said, “But now, I can’t Leave Eastern Palace.”

This is Li Yuan’s ban on footing.

Li Jiancheng was ordered to face the wall and think about half a month. During this period, Li Jiancheng did not dare to leave Eastern Palace. So during this period, Li Jiancheng could only stay in the mansion obediently and honestly.

Wei Zheng looked towards Cai Bida, said resolutely: “Cai Shopkeeper, His Royal Highness Crown Prince is busy nowadays, especially His Majesty instructed His Royal Highness Crown Prince to seize the time to deal with the detained government affairs. In a short time, Crown Prince Your Royal Highness can’t spare the time, it should be available in early July. So you have to wait for early July to launch promotional activities. When the time comes, Your Royal Highness Crown Prince will have enough time.”

When Cai Bida heard this, he became excited and happily said: “No problem!”

Everything about him is subject to Li Jiancheng’s time. As long as Li Jiancheng arranges the time, he will arrange it directly.

Li Jiancheng also nodded in praise.

Wei Zheng’s statement is good. He avoided the shame of telling the things he had been ordered to think behind closed doors, but he also agreed to Cai Bida’s request.

Cai Bida continued: “The third thing is to ask Crown Prince to arrange someone to take the lead, who can take me to visit the chief officials of the various yamen in Chang’an City. Your Royal Highness Crown Prince, I am in World’s First At the tea shop, they are responsible for the sale of tea.”

“So I know that besides the big merchants, the government uses a lot of tea. Especially in the palace, there are also a lot of tea. Use tea.”

“If His Royal Highness Crown Prince can arrange for someone to take me one after another to visit and promote the tea of ​​the first tea house, then our tea will definitely be promoted.”

“At least the government can make Du Qi unable to dominate the government. Previously, Du Qi monopolized the government’s tea. Now as long as His Royal Highness Crown Prince intervenes, we can snatch this business.”

Cai Bida once again made suggestions.

Li Jiancheng’s eyes are bright, this is an opportunity!

Wei Zheng heard what Cai Bida said and saw Li Jiancheng’s appearance, frowned, waved his hand and said: “Cai Shopkeeper, go out, I have something to discuss with His Royal Highness Crown Prince. Discuss. After that, I will continue to talk about the things you mentioned.”

“Yes!”

When Cai Bida heard the words, he respectfully retreated.

It’s just that when he turned and walked out, the expression on his face showed a look of doubt. He just mentioned that Crown Prince would arrange for someone to come forward. He didn’t say much about it. He was very solemn about how Wei Zheng looked.

The situation seems bad.

Cai Bida shook his head. He didn’t understand in his heart, so he could only strode outside and wait. In the end, only Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng remained in the room.

Li Jiancheng was also puzzled and asked: “Xuancheng, what do you want to say?”

Wei Zheng said: “His Royal Highness heard the third mentioned by Cai Bida What do you think about something?”

Li Jiancheng had a look of joy on his face, and said: “Xuan Cheng, according to Cai Bida, this arrangement is actually an excellent way to make money. Opportunity.”

“As Cai Bida said, as long as people from Eastern Palace come forward, officials belonging to my department will go to the first tea shop to buy tea. As for the other three provinces and six, even the rest Officials, when they learned about the No. 1 Teahouse, and someone from the mansion took Cai Bida to visit, then in the end, they would surely be able to snatch countless orders.”

“According to this method, only the official mansion A piece is a piece of fat.”

Li Jiancheng looked expectantly, and said: “If we can take this piece of fat from the small official government, we can make countless money, when the time comes, Eastern Palace’s overhead pressure will also be reduced a lot.”

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: “Your Highness, Humble Job holds the opposite opinion and disagrees with this third point. That’s the case, Humble Talent Let Cai Bida retreat and let him wait outside.”

Li Jiancheng brows slightly wrinkle, saying: “Xuancheng, you don’t agree, then what do you mean?”

Wei Zheng explained: “His Royal Highness, what Cai Bida said just now, after careful consideration, it is true and can help us get many benefits. There must be countless officials who will go to the first tea house to buy tea.”

“The problem is, this is an official from Eastern Palace. He brought Cai Pida to visit in person, which is equivalent to your instructed by His Royal Highness Crown Prince. In other words, it is also equivalent to His Royal Highness Crown Prince. Tea.”

“Although His Royal Highness Crown Prince did not personally say it, there is a suspicion of invisible solicitation of bribes in such an approach.”

“Once the matter is known, especially in the Imperial court After the admonisher knows about it, he is most likely to persuade him, and the matter may come to His Majesty. For His Royal Highness Crown Prince, he will most likely be severely accused by His Majesty.”

Wei Zheng is worried. Said: “This is my worry, please think twice about your Royal Highness Crown Prince.”

Li Jiancheng thought it over and continued Said: “Xuancheng, but we are now in dire need of money to cover the Imperial Court people. My identity as the prince is actually not enough to gain the allegiance of countless people. Prince of Qin is on the battlefield, and no one can erase this. We need money to operate in the Imperial court. “

Wei Zheng was frowned for a while after hearing this.

Things are indeed difficult to handle.

After thinking for a while, Wei Zheng took a deep breath , Said: “His Royal Highness Crown Prince, now His Majesty asks you to think behind closed doors. During this period, I think it needs to make money, but it is not the most important. The most important thing now is to gain the trust of His Majesty again. Only in this way can it stand firmly on the Imperial Court. For the humble suggestion, Cai Pida’s third suggestion is temporarily not adopted. “

“no!”

Li Jiancheng stubbornly shook his head when he heard the words.

He is looking forward to making money.

So, Li Jiancheng said: “The two evils are the less powerful. Even if officials are arranged to lead the way, there may be impeach officials. However, as long as you make arrangements in advance, things may not happen. Moreover, there are lessons from the lessons of Prince of Qin, even if the adviser finds out, what can he say? Xuan Cheng, Cai Bida’s suggestion, I am going to adopt it. “

“Hey…”

Wei Zheng sighed when he heard the words.

He hoped that Li Jiancheng would do things, think more and be able to Look at the long-term. But Li Jiancheng has lost his composure when he sees the benefits, and no longer has the previous composure. The immediate benefits have made Li Jiancheng confused.
