"So, what is the real purpose of your cooperation with the Wang family in Taiyuan? I'm curious about what you think. Don't you know that the more you sell at such a price, the more you lose. Although the method of hurting people is easy to use, for Zheng, it is far from the level of hurting muscles and bones."

In the imperial study, Li Shimin did not avoid the fact that he had installed a spy next to Li Chengqian. He asked directly out his doubts. Although Changsun Wuji, who was drinking with His Majesty the Emperor, did not speak, stopped his hand and looked at his nephew with a burning look.

Empress Changsun didn't say anything. With Li Laoer's hard work, the empress became pregnant again, and Li Chengqian, the eldest son, suddenly became less fragrant.

Li Chengqian, who had just returned from outside, was summoned by the old man, looked at the table full of dishes and sang an empty city plan, and smacked his lips: "Father, Queen Mother, uncle, I have just returned from the West City. I have been busy for a day and haven't even eaten supper. Do you think we are... talking while eating?"

"Oh, this kid is still pretentious!" Li Shimin laughed and said to Changsun Wuji, then said, "Well, just give him a pair of bowls and chopsticks. However, Prince, if your answer cannot satisfy me, my dinner is not that delicious."

"Hehe, where did your father say? How could your dinner be unhealthy?" Li Chengqian was not polite, and sat down openly, first toasted Changsun Wuji with tea instead of wine, then picked up a chopstick dish and ate it while saying, "In fact, even if the frosting is a hundred pounds per pound, it will be profitable, but not much, about twenty ounces."

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. The incident happened under his nose. Even though he had never understood Li Tai seriously and what Li Ke was trying to do, he could probably guess that the cost of the yellow mud water-drying sugar method was not high based on just the words he sent back.

Therefore, although I was surprised by the price Li Chengqian said, I was not surprised.

But Changsun Wuji was not the case. He suddenly heard Li Chengqian say that the cost of frosting was only eighty cents, and he couldn't help but shout: "The cost is only eighty cents! That's so low?"

"This cost is not low." Li Chengqian shook his head and explained: "If it weren't for borrowing official channels to transport black sugar, it would be exempted from a lot of messy expenses, and the cost per pound would be at least 50% higher."

That's very low, okay?

Changsun Wuji felt that as long as his nephew talked about business, he would immediately become a stingy miser.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was halfway through his words, Li Shimin only focused on eating vegetables and glared at him: "Why don't you say it anymore, then continue to say it."

"Well, that's it. The so-called yellow mud-water sugar-drying method is actually not an amazing secret method. My son thought it would definitely be passed down for three months at most."

Li Chengqian was not delayed by eating and speaking: "Let's put aside costs and competition, and take out the frosting alone. In fact, this thing is different from salt. It is not a must-have for daily life. Not to mention selling 200 yuan per pound, even if it is sold for 50 yuan, people who should not buy it will not buy it.

So no matter what price the frosting is sold, its market is actually so big, and there are only so many people who buy it. After the yellow mud water-drying sugar method is leaked in the future, as the "newcomers" who have just entered the industry, we will definitely not be able to compete with the Zheng family under normal business rules.

So, next time I will not only cooperate with the Wang family, but also with other families. I will be left to Qingque and Xiaoke in the Tang Dynasty, and the Gyeonggi Province, and the other nine roads. The Wang family occupied Hedong Road, Lingnan Road, and Jiannan Road to Feng Ang in Lingnan, and Henan Road to Cheng Family and Qin Family, and Hebei Road….”

He counted the ten paths of the Tang Dynasty with his fingers. Li Chengqian found a suitable agent for each path. It was not that he wanted to say so in detail, but mainly to seek the old man's opinions.

The frosting business is not big or small. According to the shipping price set by Li Chengqian, you can earn at least 100 cents per catty. This number may not be as much as the Zheng family used to make. After all, the cost of the old sugar-making method is very high.

After hearing this, Li Shimin pondered a little: "Overall, the arrangements are pretty good, but let the Longyou Dao be handed over to the Daozong, and the Wei family will forget it."

"Come." Li Chengqian nodded.

Longyou Road borders the thirty-six countries in the west, the Turks in the north, and the Tuyuhun in the south, which is definitely an excellent exit port for the entire Tang Dynasty. It is difficult for anyone to master the frosting business here to make money.

Therefore, the old man was looking for an opportunity to compensate Li Daozong. As a royal clan, Li Daozong made many military achievements during the Wude period. However, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the royal clan resigned voluntarily and left the good military officer to work as a big clan.

In fact, when talking about this, there is no need to continue talking about the frosting. Li Chengqian, who was already full, picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, and then prepared to say goodbye and leave.

But Li Laoer had decided to let him do it, but he still refused to give up his original intention and asked relentlessly: "So, your purpose is to sell frosting all over the Tang Dynasty? Then compete with the Zheng family for the price?"

"That's about that, but the Zheng family has no chance of turning around. The main purpose of not letting Qingque and Xiaoke do it yourself is actually to spread the goods in a short time. When the Zheng family reacts, their place will be gone in the market. Even if they want to fight a price war in the future and have no past customers, what will he compete with us!"

pretty!

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

This move is so beautiful. Compared with the Zheng family deliberately cutting off the supply of Chang'an City frosting, the dignified and upright army crushed it with the momentum of thunder, no matter what kind of monster you are, you can kill them directly.

I’m afraid the old thing in the Zheng family would never have imagined that the price of his own ending would be like this!

I don’t know if the Zheng family will regret losing the frosting business in the future.

After a long time, Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, the old minister was still hang out in the fireworks when he was like Chengqian. At most, he made a fight with the younger boys of the Yuwen family and Dugu family. How could he be like him? He played the entire Zheng family in his palms at a young age, turning his hands to make clouds and making clouds. Such a cruel revenge method was done upright, and even the old minister could not find any faults."

"Wuji is so proud of that boy. He is just lucky."

Li Shimin was about to laugh out loud, but he was going to pretend to be serious and polite. Old Versailles was already there.

However, the next moment, when the great Emperor saw the mess left by Li Chengqian after leaving, his face turned dark and he cursed with amusement and tears: "This rebellious son really eats everything, but he won't suffer any loss!"
