Chapter 198: Reminders
Yang Fan touched his nose, feeling speechless at Li Ji's jokes.
Just now I just asked casually.
Besides, the purpose of this trip is mainly to meet the elder Li Ji.
Looking at the depressed Yang Fan, Li Ji smiled slightly. This kid is usually a ghostly and never suffers losses. He didn't expect that he has such a side.
However, no matter how smart this kid is, he probably hasn't discovered that Li Siwen is a famous woman!
Li Ji took a sip of tea leisurely and said, "The Longjing tea invented by my nephew is really good. Is there any in your mansion? I'll give me two pounds?"
Only then did Yang Fan notice that the ones brewed on the table were Longjing tea?
Because there were not many picks last year and the yield was limited, he only gave them to Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and others, but he didn't expect that there were also ones in the Duke of England at this time.
Squeezing the doubt in his heart, Yang Fan smiled and then looked contented.
I poured a cup of each, and the clear tea made my dizzy head clear.
Although his Longjing tea is only promoted on a small scale, the response is very good.
Anyone who has drunk it will involuntarily indulge in the natural fragrance of tea.
If nothing unexpected happens, this year, spring tea will be picked and sold in large quantities, which is another way to make money.
Although it may not be as profitable as Liuli's business, tea is a long-lasting thing, and I think it is not bad at all.
After all, tea will support half of the taxes of the Central Plains dynasty in the future.
From this point of view, we can see the popularity of fried tea.
Yang Fan did not refuse Li Ji's request, but asked curiously: "Where did the British Duke get these teas?"
"My nephew should call me uncle, this tea was given to Duke Lu." Li Ji smiled.
These tea leaves came from Cheng Yaojin, of course they cannot be said explicitly.
However, when Li Ji thought of Cheng Yaojin's pain at that time, he was very proud.
It’s really not easy to cheat Cheng Yaojin that old guy!
Looking at Li Ji's slightly obscene smile, Yang Fan had to shake his head secretly. It was obvious that the tea leaves came from Cheng Yaojin's pit.
His Majesty Li Er is addicted to tea as his life, so it is obviously impossible to take it out. Then there is only Cheng Yaojin, who was born into the Wagang rebel, who is really an old naughty boy.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan had to smile bitterly and said, "Since my uncle spoke, would you dare to say nothing? If you really don't give it, I won't be sure that brother Qi Siwen won't recognize this friend!"
"But there are not many in the house. This is the autumn tea from last year. I haven't picked much. I'll give my uncle half a pound for the time being. Spring is about to begin. It won't take long to pick the spring tea. It will be enough to pick it. Then, the spring tea is more mellow and has a better taste."
Li Ji was a little disappointed when he heard that he was only half a pound, but he was better than nothing. He saved a little and could last until the spring tea was picked.
After touching the short beard on his forehead, Li Ji said with satisfaction: "The nephew is such a good method. Not only does he build a glass workshop, but now if the fried tea can be produced in large quantities, this is a big investment."
Yang Fan waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Thank you uncle for your praise, just a lie!"
Indeed, in ancient times, the rankings of scholars, farmers, workers and merchants were not just talk.
Although businessmen may have a better life, they are indeed the lowest in terms of status.
Li Ji knew that Yang Fan had misunderstood his meaning and reminded him: "It is also a great thing to do every job to the extreme; although Your Majesty has achieved the world immediately, he was unable to do without the support of merchants at the beginning; but as the saying goes, things will turn back, and no one knows the good and bad luck at any time, so the nephew should be more careful."
Hearing Li Jiyi's words, Yang Fan put down the teacup and frowned: "Suppose you are foolish, can you make it clear?"
Seeing Yang Fan reacting so quickly, Li Ji nodded with relief and said slowly: "The wood is beautiful and the wind in the forest will destroy it. You should be clear about this principle; the benefits of glass are great, do you know how many aristocratic families there are? Is the nobles looking at it?"
"Precisely because of the support of His Majesty, no one dares to do it openly. Although Liuli Business only holds 10% of the shares, for individuals, it is also an astronomical figure. Now there are investments for tea stir-frying..."
"Although wealth is as good as a country, it sounds very domineering, but without the corresponding background, it is a huge danger."
Upon hearing this, Yang Fan was shocked, which made him involuntarily think of a legendary figure in later generations.
Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty was a model of starting from scratch, and his true wealth was as good as a country.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang's treasury was not as rich as him, he would have to borrow money from him even if he built an imperial city.
Therefore, Shen Wanshan's wealth is known to everyone in the world.
Even the emperor borrowed money from him, which was very glorious and glorious.
But the ending!
The family was confiscated and the clan could not be protected, and the charge was only false.
In an era like feudal society when centralization reached its peak, personal life and property were not guaranteed.
Because there are too many people who can trample on the law at will, the law at this time is just a tool to limit the lower class.
If a person does not have the corresponding foundation and strength, wouldn’t he wait for others to come and make money?
Although Yang Fan now has His Majesty Li Er as his backer and the two are in a sweet period, no one knows how long it can last.
As an emperor, what he cares most about is balance, and he will not favor someone alone and be exceptional.
When you are strong enough to threaten the imperial power, friendship and family affection are worthless in the eyes of the emperor.
Because he must first ensure the continuation of the dynasty, it is impossible for an existence beyond his control to appear.
It seems that the tea business must be completed by His Majesty Li Er.
Um?
wrong!
With Li Ji's insight, if it were just such a reason, it would not have been like this.
Is there any hidden truth?
Yang Fan looked at Li Ji with some clarity and wanted a specific answer.
Li Ji was not surprised by Yang Fan's youthful aging: "Actually, you really have a trick. Liuli has a huge profit. She is willing to give 90%. I don't know if you should say you are stupid or praise you for your courage!"
"Uncle, don't make fun of someone. Isn't that impossible?"
When Yang Fan talks about this, he feels so heartbroken. Who is so willing?
I have millions of dollars a year, and now I have changed to a princess. I am so depressed that I knew that with my own strength, I couldn't defend it at all, so...
Li Ji looked up and looked around, then lowered his voice: "My dear nephew is a little short-sighted. It doesn't matter how much money is. As a minister, the most important thing is that he is the emperor's heart!"
Jian Zai’s heart is actually a measure of a person’s status in the heart of the emperor.
