"Thank you, Your Majesty. These boys are quite obedient to me!"
Taking advantage of this moment of effort, Li Xuan took the opportunity to pick up the teacup and took a sip, feeling that his throat felt much better.
"obedient?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin looked around the faces of Cheng Chusi and others with a suspicious look. After finding nothing unusual, he snorted directly at them.
Immediately, he also picked up the teacup and started chatting with Li Xuan while drinking.
"I came here this time to tell the young master some good news. The furniture workshop opened by Gao Ming in Chang'an City has begun selling sofas. These days, those people from aristocratic families are about to give up that furniture workshop.
It was trampled to pieces."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but beam with joy, and said excitedly: "Master, I certainly don't know how much money that furniture workshop has made in the past few days."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan still looked indifferent, but did not follow Li Shimin's words and ask further.
Seeing this, Li Shimin paused for a moment, then smiled awkwardly alone, and his face became red again.
"Haha, we are all happy together. Thanks to Master's suggestion, now the sofa workshop can receive tens of thousands of dollars every day!"
Before, although Li Xuan asked Li Chengqian to set the price with the shopkeepers below him, in the end, Li Xuan still asked Li Chengqian to double the price of luxury sofas such as red sandalwood and huanghuali.
Basically, a set of luxury sofas such as red sandalwood and huanghuali can earn ten times the money and goods. As for some middle- and low-grade sofas, you can also earn four or five times the money and goods.
According to these regulations, half of the money earned by these sand furniture workshops belongs to Li Xuan.
The reason why it was so little was because of Li Xuan's own request. No matter how much it was, Li Xuan would not dare to ask for it.
Moreover, he probably couldn't fit so many in his small courtyard.
"Master, there are four thousand coins in the courtyard outside. They are members of the furniture workshop!"
"Four thousand strings?"
Li Xuan was startled.
so much?
Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi, who were standing on the side, were stunned, with faces full of surprise, and then full of envy, and their eyes were a little red.
They all know the opening time of the furniture workshop. How many days has it been?
Unexpectedly, the master led them to work blindly in Zhuangzi day by day, but outside, they had already made so much money so quietly?
"Master, I think it's too little. Please rest assured, Master, this is just the money earned from selling sofas and other furniture. In addition, there are many aristocratic families who have reserved multiple sets of sofas in advance. When the craftsmen make the sofas, I'm afraid Master
This small courtyard can’t even hold that much money!”
Seeing Li Xuan not speaking for a long time, Li Shimin felt inexplicably guilty.
This was the first time that he felt so comfortable making such huge profits. It was even more satisfying than when he took Cheng Zhijie and others to raid the homes of Dou Jiande and other warlords.
In just a few days, the inner treasury had already accumulated a mountain of money.
Moreover, at least twice as much money has been reserved by those aristocratic families in advance.
However, although the money had already been collected, the sofa had not yet been produced, so Li Shimin had no choice but to divide Li Xuan's share of the money in advance.
However, in front of Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others, he was still the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he had to be dignified, so he could not explain to Li Xuan.
However, Li Shimin knew that Li Xuan, the price setter, knew all the details of the furniture workshop. He even knew exactly how much money it could earn.
During this time, the power of digital arithmetic was also fully demonstrated.
The Ministry of Revenue also used this number to do arithmetic and found out several corrupt officials!
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have earned so much money and goods in just a few days, which is beyond my expectation!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly and continued: "I didn't expect that the wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty loved sofas so much."
"After a while, when the enthusiasm of these aristocratic families for buying sofas has dissipated, the prince can also make another batch of sofas, engrave them with the exclusive mark of the Tang Dynasty, and then sell them to those in Tubo, Goguryeo, and Silla.
Baekje and other vassal states. However, the price of these sofas will have to increase several times!"
"How many times?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian and Li Shimin all looked surprised.
Looking at Li Xuan, he felt like he was looking at a madman.
Although these sofas are new, they are only made of wood. Moreover, the current price has increased ten times. If it increases several times, even quadrupling, it will already be forty times the profit.
Already.
"Two times or three times is fine, even five times is fine!"
Thinking he was asking him, Li Xuan thought for a moment and then said.
"Five times?"
At this time, Li Chengqian couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Master, in the fifth edition, the price of that set of sofas is already worth the price of a set of the same size made of gold? Will those barbarians spend so much silver to buy it?"
"Now Gao Ming, don't you understand?"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "At the price I set at the beginning, did you still have some doubts in your mind about whether those wealthy families would buy it?"
After hearing this, both Li Chengqian and Li Shimin could not help but feel a flash of embarrassment in their eyes.
However, Li Xuan ignored it and continued: "The situation now is very different from that then. This is our Tang Dynasty, which is providing services to the nobles of Tubo, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and other barbarian countries.
With the king, we sell the most exquisite objects of our Tang Dynasty. And these objects can only be used by princes, nobles and His Majesty the Emperor in our Tang Dynasty."
"Don't talk about money and goods, just say that the status and even the glory they bring to them when they sit on these sofas are worth the price. Think about it, they just need to spend more money.
Then we can enjoy what only the princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty can enjoy. How can they be dissatisfied?
Moreover, our country, the Tang Dynasty, is a kingdom of heaven, and the products we produce are naturally extremely expensive. In addition, since we have to travel such a long way, it is very reasonable to sell them for several times more."
"Also, Gao Ming, don't underestimate the wealth of the nobles in countries such as Tubo, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. Although most people in these countries are poor and cannot afford to eat, in the hands of those kings and nobles, the wealth accumulated
His gold and silver treasures are no less than those accumulated by the nobles of the Five Surnames and Qiwang."
"Even if you don't have that much copper coins, you can still use the same price of silver, goods, and even horses to buy it. Presumably, according to the prince's power, even if you bring some war horses, the prince can handle it!"
Then, they talked about a cup of tea again, until Li Xuan felt his mouth was slightly bitter, and then he stopped and took a slow sip of tea to moisten his throat.
On the side, Li Chengqian, Li Shimin, and even Cheng Chusi's eyes were already shining. They wished they could immediately summon some of the housekeepers to install several sets of sofas from the sofa workshop and go to Tubo, Goguryeo, and Silla in person.
