Chapter 84 Handling Western Coal and Southern Tea
During the days when he was about to leave, Wang Bang was even busier. He called Yin Shijie to refine all coal prices and instructed Yin Shijie to divide each price into five levels, observe the surrounding prices, or the surrounding prices fluctuate to the highest level,
Sell according to the quantity he stipulates. If the price reaches the lowest level, buy it according to the quantity he stipulates.
Wang Bang's move is to control the price of surrounding coal. He has the situation and is not afraid of the high price. Moreover, buying low and selling high can make the capital flow.
He also told Li Jian that when he drove to the tunnel, he could appropriately allocate personnel according to the manual situation, and the amount and speed of the upward transportation of the cattle turntable were increased. However, he still strictly ordered safety first.
In three days, the goods were loaded and transported to the capital in two routes. Wang Bang and Jiao Deyou took a boat, Yu Dainian and Hanlu ox cart. Go east along the Yellow River to see that the two sides were green, and Wang Bang was in a very comfortable mood.
Jiao Deyou was a little worried about him, but seeing that Wang Bang was just like nothing, he had to bite the bullet and leave it to fate. No matter what, he still felt that Wang Bang was right.[
Wang Bang asked Jiao Deyou for advice: "How many days will it take to Bianjing from now on?"
Jiao Deyou said: "It won't be used for a few days. You don't have to walk around the mountain roads. The manpower I give you are all boatmen who transport the whole year round. They can travel day and night on the Yellow River. You and I can go to the capital today."
The king felt even more comfortable when he heard this. The average speed of the boat was 10 or 20 miles per hour. From then on, he could reach the capital after only a few hours of traveling to the Bianjing waterway.
Jiao Deyou is even more familiar with the waterway than Wang Bang. When he learned that Wang Bang was setting up a coal yard outside the northwest Shuimen, he admired Wang Bang's ideas and vision. From the boat trip to the northwest Shuimen in the capital, Jiao Deyou pointed to a side shed built on the north side of the Jinshui River.
She and the wharf asked, "What if we can say here?"
Seeing that the location was different from his instructions, the king ordered people to lean over. A boatman jumped down to ask. Sure enough, he saw Helibo coming out from inside to greet him. Helibo was very surprised at the speed of the king coming.
Wang Bang had not returned to the mansion, so he took Jiao Deyou directly to Wang Anshi's mansion to report to his father about his preparation for the marriage. Wang Anshi had long hoped that Wang Bang would get married soon, otherwise it would be a bad idea to live in Meyer's mansion under the moon; he also heard that Wang Bang
He was also shocked when he burned the boat that Zhao Zongshi gave. The child was indeed bold. But he was so careful from now on.
Wang Bangda was not in a hurry to tell Yuexia about this, and now he could not help the Yuexia. Besides, Wang Bang knew the Yuexia personality: especially when Jiao Deyou talked about Di Qing, Wang Bang felt more and more that Yuexia personality was following Lord Di. He seemed strong.
, If you take off your mask, it will be like a face.
No wonder people say that Di Qing is General Nirvana and is angry everywhere in the court.
I don't accept such anger. I chose an auspicious day until mid-May. It is now the end of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and more than twenty days are enough. The king led Jiao Deyou to let the brothers and sisters meet. He didn't care about the hardships of the boat and the car, so he ran towards Bao Zheng first.
The mansion. I met my adoptive father and talked for an hour or two before I returned home.
Wang Bang just arrived at the mansion, Lu Shenyan also came back in great silence. According to Wang Bang's request, Lu Shenyan classified tea in detail:
One type is loose tea, which is tea leaves in a natural state after stir-frying; the other type is sliced tea, which is to process the picked tea buds into sheets through steaming, peeling, shooting, roasting, penetrating, sealing and other production processes, "steaming tea pieces."
Make it, and actually roll it into a mold"; one type is wax tea: "Only when the sword is built, it is steamed and ground, and the bamboo is woven into a grid, and placed in a baking room is the most delicate and cannot be made elsewhere." It is to make tea buds
After steaming, grind it into a paste and press it into a tea cake. There are small holes left in the middle of the cake. After drying, 10 cake skewers are 1. This kind of bun tea and cake tea produced in Jianzhou is also known as "la tea".
", "Wax Noodle Tea", can actually be said to be a fine piece of tea
Xiao Lu also classified the quality and price, and the wax tea is divided into 16 levels, 55 pieces of tea, and 59 loose tea. The price and sale are also classified. The maximum profit between the sale can reach more than 700 yuan per trunk. (1 trunk or 1
What is pound, what is 1 hip? According to pound, it is originally a buckle on the belt. As a quantifier, it should be similar to its size, that is, "small inch and small puff", which is similar to the size of a modern matchbox. Moreover, the article states that it is only enough to soak a few cups.
The amount is only a few pinches.)
Wang Bang roughly calculated that except for the tea that Cai Xiang pays tribute every year, the tea in the palace costs 3,400 kilograms per kilogram. The average gross profit of 7,800 kilograms per kilogram is 20 yuan per year.
Ten thousand snowflakes are silver; only big and small tea shops in Bianjing City, the annual good tea is only 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms. If you can get these average profits of 300,000 yuan...
Wang Bang didn't dare to make any more calculations because he knew that if he wanted to take this part, Renzong would have to cancel the tea ban.
The people who escorted tea into Bianjing City were properly placed. Wang Bang told Lu Shenyan that when he got the first batch of tea payments, he would bring a few tea doctors who knew tea in Jianzhou. He had his own arrangements. Of course, this was not what he wanted to do now.
Things are now going to ask the emperor for the first batch of thousand kilograms of tea used in the palace.
The next morning, Wang Bang went directly to the palace to ask for a meeting with Emperor Renzong. He first explained the tea matter and handed over the receipt of the tea from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect a thousand pounds of tea. Renzong personally approved the loan. A stone in Wang Bang's heart fell to the ground, but Cai Xiang did it locally.
The tea that I had just taken first was finally explained to the tea farmers. I thought about it and then went to Jianzhou to buy a tea factory.
Seeing that the king had a royal order that could be paid, Renzong asked with a smile: "You kid, you won't cry and call me poor now." Wang Bang made at least four or five thousand taels of gold tea.
Isn't the money enough for him to buy horses in Xixia? Emperor Renzong is not confused, but even if the king doesn't make money, others will make money, and he can't stand it. Moreover, others are not loyal to the king.
He said that Renzong was more willing to let Wang Bang make the money.
Wang Bang smiled and said, "If you don't cry, you're poor, you're enough to get married."
Renzong laughed and asked after laughing, "This is enough for you to marry tenth house."[
Wang Bang looked helpless: "My wife is so expensive, and she has spent a ship from the right general Zhao Gongshu?"
Renzong was very curious when he heard this and asked, "Where did this come from?"
Wang Bangbang saw that Renzong was interested in this, so he said, "The uncle originally planned to give me a boat as a gift, but I heard someone say that the uncle was interested in my wife's beauty. I just said that.
Only when they set a torch on fire was angered to show that the public had saved the reputation of the royal relatives and the grass-roots people."
Renzong narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Bang, thinking that this matter was not turbulent, and he knew that Wang Bang was going to marry Di Qing's daughter. He understood in his heart that it should be some small actions of Thirteenth son. But Wang Bang's little bastard was not a good-looking lamp, looking at him
This kid is not convinced by Thirteen, and it will be a problem in the future.
So the imperial decree passed on the thirteen sons to enter the palace.
Zhao Zongshi was in the mansion and heard that the king had come back, and Jiao Deyou had also moved into Meyer's mansion. Zhao Zongshi secretly lucked that what magic was used by the king? Hesitantly heard the imperial order and rushed into the palace. He immediately
He was panicked and his right eyelid was twitching. He hurried into the palace with his clothes.
When he walked to the gate of Chuigong Hall, he heard laughter inside. It was Emperor Renzong and the king who were talking and laughing. The eunuch led the door into Chuigong Hall. Seeing that Renzong was in great interest, he was actually tasting tea.
When Renzong saw Zhao Zongshi coming in, he said, "Zongshi, come and taste this tea." Zhao Zongshi took the eunuch's hand over, and actually had a cup of tea that he had never ordered. He took a sip and had no seasonings in his mouth.
It is sweet, but it slips along the tip of the tongue into the throat and has a mellow and mellow fragrance aftertaste.
He put down the tea and bowed and said, "I don't know what happened to my father and son minister in a hurry."
Renzong said, "The son of Wang Bang has made some new things. He is actually teaching me some Kung Fu tea. Look, these things you have made are not as easy as drinking tea. But this one procedure is quite interesting."
It turned out that when Zhao Zongshi's skill was waiting for him, Wang Bang taught Renzong the tea ceremony. Zhao Zongshi's heart was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
He heard Renzong say, "I heard that you gave a special gift to the king's wedding."
Zhao Zongshi was shocked when he heard this. Delivering the boat was a small matter, and his extra test was a big matter, but he didn't know what Renzong knew. He didn't look angry when he saw Renzong's meaning. He didn't know how to answer.
The king bowed down and thanked Zhao Zongshi, and told Zhao Zongshi that the wedding date had been set and asked Zhao Zongshi to go to the house for a banquet.
Renzong said, "The king of kings hastily, so the housekeeper doesn't know what to give. Thirteen, look like this. If your gift is so taken, you can't be less than yours. The king of kings is also Di Qing.
My daughter is also considered a descendant of a famous family. I plan to accept an adopted daughter and a sister for you. What do you think?"
When Zhao Zongshi heard this, he hurriedly said, "No." If Renzong accepted the adopted daughter, Wang Bang would become the son-in-law, and it would be even more difficult to adjust him in the future. Zhao Zongshi thought so in his heart, so he must not blurt out when he was anxious.
Renzong frowned, as if he was a little unhappy with Zhao Zongshi's obstruction. Wang Bang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the boat I gave was accidentally burned by me. Don't give me a big gift, I'm afraid that if it is ruined, I'll commit it.
I made a mistake. And if I marry a princess, I will not be able to take a concubine in the future.”
Wang Bang deliberately said this to Zhao Zongshi, thinking that Zhao Zongshi's wife was Gao, who was the daughter of Empress Cao and the adopted daughter of Empress Renzong.
Zhao Zongshi knew the reason was wrong and could not answer the conversation, so he could only say: "It will burn if it is burned, how can I blame you?"
Renzong nodded and said, "It's better for the Thirteenth son to understand the truth. I will feel at ease if I establish you in the future. Since you two have friendship, the king should also consider the overall situation."
After saying that, he glanced at Wang Bang, who knew Renzong's intentions with his heart, lowered his head and bowed his hand and said, "The Emperor dared not to obey the will of the emperor."
Renzong nodded: "Then I will ask you to submit your gift to you as you propose to the tea farm, but you need to write a guarantee that if you cannot pay 200,000 taels of silver tea profit per year in the first year, not only will I take it back
, I will use your property to make up for 200,000 taels"[
When Zhao Zongshi heard this, he was crazy. He was 200,000 taels of silver. From the fourth year of Chunhua to the second year of Jiayou, a total of 61 years, the official tea profit was 1392,119 kcal, equivalent to 1.39 million taels of silver. This is the twenty-two in the country.
The three routes, the sum of more than one hundred states. But looking at the numbers, the tea-profit court in a state is only 10,000 taels of silver per year, and the king actually wants to report it to twenty times.
