"Oh? Marquis, but you have ordered, Zheng must cooperate fully!"

Yunshan Courtyard.

Hearing that Li Zexuan wanted to do the tea business and needed everyone's help, Zheng Yinhong's expression changed, and he quickly cupped his hands.

"I'm also willing to help Lord Hou!"

Cao Wendong and others also bowed to each other.

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Okay! With everyone's help, I will be more confident in this tea business! First of all, we must solve the problem of the source of tea. The dry weather in the north is not suitable for the growth of tea trees, so this tea leaves. It must be picked from the South!"

Having said that, Li Zexuan looked at Zheng Yinhong and said, "The Marquis sent this tea to the palace yesterday. After tasting it, the sage liked it very much, and decided to list the tea as a tribute tea, so the tea needed in the palace will be needed in the future. , you need to be responsible for the collection of Zheng Zhuang in the Jiangnan area!"

"Tribute tea?"

A few people were all shocked, and a huge wave broke out in their hearts, but Zheng Yinhong's expression changed, and said: "Master Hou, Shenxian tea is listed as tribute tea, although it shows that its quality is unparalleled in the world, but once it is listed as tribute tea , this shouldn't be sold at will in the private sector!"

When everyone heard the words, they came back to their senses. Cao Wendong nodded in agreement and said, "Master Hou, what Zheng Zhuang said makes sense! Once the immortal tea is listed as tribute tea, how can the common people enjoy it at will?"

Li Zexuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't say that, today's sage loves the people like a son, and most likes to have fun with the people. Besides, we can make a batch of top-level fairy teas and supply them exclusively to the palace. As for the grade A little later, it will be sold to the public, and by that time, Shenxian Tea will take advantage of the reputation of tribute tea, and it will be impossible to sell it!"

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, there were no strict restrictions on court tributes. All localities only needed to hand over the tribute to the court on time. This does not mean that once something is listed as a tribute, it must not be For example, cucumbers were sold in the private sector, before and during the Tang Dynasty, they were always tributes, but the common people couldn't eat them? Obviously not, as long as you have the money, you can definitely buy it!

As for the court tribute tea, there is no precedent for this before. Zheng Yinhong and others are completely out of a foolproof attitude, so they have such worries!

"Master Hou's trick is brilliant, but this fairy tea can also be divided into three, six, nine, and so on?"

Feng Zhihua stroked his beard and wondered.

The tea they drank in the past was made by grinding the tea leaves and mixing them with seasonings. How could there be any concept of tea grading?

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Of course, this tea can be divided into three, six, nine, etc. Generally, for fresh tea leaves, the shorter and more tender the buds and leaves, and the smaller the angle between the buds and the leaves, the better the quality of such tea. Excellent! Therefore, the top-quality fresh tea leaves must be bud and leaf at the beginning, the angle between the bud and leaf is small, the bud is longer than the leaf, the bud and leaf are even and fat, and the length of the bud and leaf does not exceed one inch.

In addition, the frying method should also be exquisite. In my opinion, the tea leaves after frying should be flat and smooth, sharp and sharp, green and fresh, even and heavy, and the bud peaks are revealed. In this way, top-level fresh tea leaves are matched with top-level tea leaves. The method of stir-frying has naturally become the top fairy tea!

Using this top-level immortal tea as a tribute, and selling the rest of the slightly inferior ones, not only preserves the saint's face, but also allows everyone in the world to taste the deliciousness of immortal tea. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone! "

Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, all agreeing that this was a good idea!

Zheng Yinhong bowed his hands in a more convincing manner: "Master Hou's research and attainments in tea ceremony can be regarded as a master of a generation. Zheng used to believe that he had a lot of research on tea ceremony, but after hearing what Master Hou said today, he realized that he was not good enough. It's just a frog at the bottom of a well!"

"Eh~? Don't say that, Master Zheng. In fact, these things are all learned by the Marquis from the tutor, and they are not his own skills!"

Li Zexuan smiled, and then said, "Zheng Zhuangzhu, I want to build a tea garden in the Jiangnan area, but I have been in Chang'an for a long time, and I have no time to manage the tea garden, so..."

"As long as Lord Hou can trust Zheng Mou, Zheng Mou is willing to manage the tea garden for Lord Hou!"

As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, Zheng Yinhong immediately answered.

Cao Wendong and others were silent at this moment. Although they had business dealings with the South, they were not from the South after all. Unlike Zheng Yinhong, who had a huge foundation and a wide network of people in the South, they went to the South to help Li Zexuan. Tea garden, they are more than enough!

Li Zexuan smiled slightly, and said: "The good intentions of the owner of the Zhengzhuang, this marquis accepts it! It's not that I can't believe it, but to trouble the owner of the Zhengzhuang so much, the prince will feel sorry for him! Therefore, the prince wants to open a fairy tea garden with the owner of the Zhengzhuang. Picking and frying immortal tea, and Ben Hou is willing to share the method of frying immortal tea, let's build the largest, most famous, and top-notch tea garden together!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

No one thought that Li Zexuan was willing to share the method of frying Shenxian tea. You must know that with the reputation of tribute tea and the high-quality taste and taste of Shenxian tea, as long as Li Zexuan solved the problem of the source and channel of tea, the Can rely on tea to earn endless wealth! After all, in the entire Tang Dynasty, no tea merchants can come up with tea leaves that can compete with Shenxian tea, and naturally there is no way to compete with Li Zexuan!

Zheng Yinhong is not a person who has never seen the world, but at this moment his face still can't help but show a moving look, he quickly bowed and said: "Zheng, what kind of virtue and ability, can we open together with Hou Ye. To build a tea garden? If Lord Hou needs, Zheng is willing to do his best to help Lord Hou, and Lord Hou's fried tea

method, Zheng must not dare to covet! "

As expected of someone who has seen a big scene, Zheng Yinhong still held his heart at the critical moment in the face of huge interests. He is not stupid, don't look at him in the business sea in Jiangnan, but Li Zexuan is a prince of the country, and if he wants to kill him, he will It's as easy as squeezing an ant to death. After all, the social class division of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce is no joke. Therefore, his mind turned sharply, and after serious consideration, he still rejected this tempting proposal!

Seeing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart, then he looked at Zheng Yinhong with a half-smile, and said: "Zheng Zhuang, you are a businessman, we are talking about business now, it is fair to do business, you help free of charge. When Ben Hou started building a tea garden, it wasn't like doing business!

You should know that Ben Hou is not short of money, and he doesn't like to use power to overwhelm people. Therefore, if you are willing to help in this tea garden, then Ben Hou will give you 40% of the shares. In the future, you can get 40% of the income of the tea garden. It doesn't matter if you don't want to help, Ben Hou can just find someone else! "

In the face of such generous conditions offered by Li Zexuan, everyone present was heartbroken. Cao Wendong and others all cast an envious look at Zheng Yinhong.

Zheng Yinhong kept his brows closed. From his frowning brows and stern expression, he could still see that he was struggling violently in his heart. After a long silence, Zheng Yinhong finally spoke up. He bowed to Li Zexuan and said:

"Your Majesty is upright, righteous, and kind-hearted. Zheng admires him! Since Lord Hou treats me with sincerity, the old man, Zheng Yinhong, swears here today that he will do his best to manage the tea garden for Lord Hou from generation to generation. If there is betrayal, may the men of my Zheng family be slaves for generations, and the women be prostitutes for generations!"

He understands that if he has obtained Li Zexuan's secret method of frying tea, he must be loyal to Li Zexuan, and he must make Li Zexuan believe in him completely, so he made this oath!

Everyone was shocked, and Li Zexuan couldn't help but look slightly moved. You must know that the ancients attached great importance to heaven, earth, ghosts, and oaths. No one dared to swear casually, and no one would take his own descendants directly like Zheng Yinhong. Future generations swear!

Li Zexuan quickly lifted Zheng Yinhong up and said, "Zheng Zhuangzhu doesn't have to do this. The Zheng family has been in business for generations in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are most trustworthy. Who does not know the credit of Zheng Zhuangzhu? Who does not know? Ben Houxin is yours!"

To be honest, there are two main reasons why he shared the secret recipe of fried tea so easily: First, his method of frying tea is actually not difficult to learn. In one year, he found out his method of fried tea. Instead of keeping the secret recipe of fried tea, it is better to monopolize all the high-quality tea gardens in Jiangnan while the tea market is still blank. In this way, he must be inseparable from Zheng Yinhong. "Earth Snake"

Second, Li Zexuan actually didn't plan to start a tea business at first. At most, he wanted to fry a small batch of tea for himself and the people around him. Moreover, he is now dedicated to promoting the basic technology of Datang, and does not want to spend time earning money. These tea business money! He has no shortage of money! But Li Er listed Shenxian Tea as tribute tea and asked him to be responsible for the tea supply of the palace in the future. Since he decided to be a "licking dog" yesterday, he had to "lick" it to the end. And he himself has no time, so he can only "decentralize" to Zheng Yinhong and the others!

Anyway, he believes that Zheng Yinhong is a wise man because he believes in his current status, and Zheng Yinhong does not dare to betray him!

Now, Zheng Yinhong has made this oath, making him more sure that his judgment is correct!

Cao Wendong, who was on the side, also nodded at the moment, and said in agreement: "The Zheng family is the most trustworthy in the business field. Everyone knows this!"

Zheng Yinhong glanced at Cao Wendong gratefully, and then cupped his hands to Li Zexuan: "Master Hou is so sincere, but Zheng can't help but appreciate it. Zheng can only take 30% of the shares of the fairy tea garden. If Master Hou is not willing, then Zheng Mou can only forgive the hardship! But Zheng Mou has a ruthless request, I hope Lord Hou can agree!"

"Oh? Master Zheng, please say it!"

Li Zexuan's expression moved slightly, and he said curiously.

Zheng Yinhong said solemnly: "Zheng knows that Hou Ye has established a Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and he has always been fascinated by it. I wonder if Hou Ye can also let Zheng join this Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce?"

10% of the shares of the Shenxian Tea Garden are replaced by a member of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. In the long run, he still has some losses. After all, the future potential of the Shenxian Tea Garden is infinite! However, the reason why he made this suggestion was mainly because he felt that 40% of the shares of Shenxian Tea Garden were too hot, so he divided 10% and asked for a membership in the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, which would not only protect his health, but also broaden the way for the Zheng family!

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "I have no opinion, but I have an idea here. I will take out 10% of the shares of the fairy tea garden, and you can discuss with Boss Cao, Boss Lin, and Boss Feng. We will take out a total of 10% of the original dry shares of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce and distribute them to the owner of Zhengzheng, and as a reward, the dry shares of the immortal tea garden will be divided equally by you according to the corresponding proportion, how?"

The first batch of members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce was determined through auctions. The proportion of dry shares held by each person was determined according to the proportion of the money they paid, and the number of goods they later distributed from the workshop. , which is directly linked to the dry shares they hold in the Chamber of Commerce.

To put it simply, Li Zexuan is now using 10% of the shares of the Immortal Tea Garden given up by Zheng Yinhong to exchange 10% of the shares of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce with Cao Wendong and others. Anyway, he will definitely not lose money in this exchange, and he still controls six. The successful tea garden!

Cao Wendong and the others looked at each other, nodded to each other, and said, "I would like to follow the arrangements of Lord Hou!"

They are not stupid. The goods that Zheng Yinhong distributed from the Trolley Pavilion workshop are to be shipped to Jiangnan for sale, which does not conflict with their business at all! Instead, have

After this 10% stake in the tea garden, they can get involved in the tea business, and they would not get the stake in the tea garden under normal circumstances, because with their connections, they can't help Li Zexuan build the tea garden at all, but now Li Zexuan Given the opportunity, how could they not seize it?

Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Everyone will be happy in this way! Later, the Marquis will mark the best locations for several tea gardens on the map. At that time, Owner Zheng will help build tea gardens in these places. As for the construction of tea gardens. The cost will be borne by us together!”

Zheng Yinhong cupped his hands and said, "Yes! Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan smiled, then picked up the teacup and said, "Come on, let's use tea instead of wine to celebrate the addition of a new member to our Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce today!"

…………………………

After negotiating the construction of the tea garden, Zheng Yinhong took the map given to him by Li Zexuan that afternoon, and set off for Jiangnan, Chang'an City. He asked Zheng Qianjun to stay and look after the team.

On the map that Li Zexuan handed him, the best tea garden construction sites are marked. These sites are almost all places where Longjing tea was abundant in the previous life, such as Shifeng Mountain, Longjing Mountain, Qipan Mountain, Shangtianzhu, Wengjia Mountain, Yangmeiling, Manjue Long, Baihe Peak and dozens of other peaks. Li Zexuan wanted to use the memory of his previous life to quickly monopolize the production areas of these high-quality teas. Even if someone later found out a high-quality method of frying tea, the quality of the tea would be far inferior to that of fairy tea!

Of course, in addition to the task of building a tea garden, Zheng Yinhong's top priority when he returns to Jiangnan this time is to go to the existing tea mountain and send someone to pick a batch of fresh tea leaves as soon as possible to make tribute tea. As for those fairy tea gardens, it is estimated that they will have to wait until It's next year, after all, we have to transplant tea trees!
