The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

The carriage was quite large, and the two of them didn't feel cramped inside. However, in such a confined space, Changsun Pingting was still a little nervous to be alone with a man.

"Auntie, just tell me if you have something to do. We are a family, there is no need to twist around."

Li Xiang knew that the time on the road was not long, so he went straight to the topic. If we were to test each other, I guess the Ministry of War Yamen would have already arrived before you finished testing.

After hearing Li Xiang's words, Changsun Pingting felt warm in her heart.

Although there are children in the family who call themselves aunt, I don't know why the eldest grandson Pingting doesn't have such intimacy when those children talk. Maybe it's because the smile on Li Xiang's face is too contagious.

"In this case, aunt will not beat around the bush. This is the wine that was ordered and will be delivered soon. Can the price be increased? If it is increased, our profits will also increase. It is not We are raising prices for no reason, but social demand is here.”

It turns out that after this reservation meeting, Changsun Pingting also realized that for these rich people, even if the price rises a little, they have nothing to worry about and they will still use the money to order. Why don't we make this money? ?

Li Xiang thought about it carefully. Five taels of silver per pound of wine was already a sky-high price in this era. Li Xiang thought the price was too high in the past, but Changsun Pingting has always been in charge of the Changsun family's liquor sales business. If it were her If you can, it should be no problem.

"How much does Auntie think the price should increase?"

More money is a good thing for us, but we cannot increase it for no reason. If we offend customers, short-term profits cannot make up for long-term development.

"Seven taels of silver per catty."

Changsun Pingting took a deep breath. This number was not said casually, but based on the price on the black market. Because there is only one hundred kilograms per day, many people cannot buy it at all.

At present, the black market in Chang'an City has announced the purchase price, which is about between nine and eleven taels of silver. Of course, the main reason is that no one has tasted it, so the first bid was too generous, but even after everyone has tasted it, The taste of this wine is there, so seven taels of silver is still no problem, and the price increase is relatively conservative.

Li Xiang could have agreed directly, but he still pondered for a moment. Changsun Pingting was also very nervous at the moment. Although the sales channel was in her hands, the owner of the goods was Li Xiang. She could not increase the price at will without Li Xiang's consent. .

If every kilogram of wine increases by two taels of silver, a hundred kilograms a day will be an extra two hundred taels of silver. The eldest grandson's family can get 15% of it, which is thirty taels of silver. They can get 30 taels of silver a day. From seventy-five taels of silver, he can now get one hundred and five taels of silver every day, which is nearly half more than before.

"Then follow what my aunt says, but it's best to send more people to observe the market. If there is any resistance to the price, we still have to make temporary adjustments."

Although Li Xiang has confidence in this wine, he still doesn't know much about Chang'an City's sales capabilities, so it's better to be cautious.

"Don't worry about this. I have already sent out dozens of spies from my family. Today they will be inquiring about the news in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. I will have someone send a summary to the East Palace tonight."

Li Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Changsun Pingting had already made arrangements. Cooperating with such a person in business would save him a lot of trouble inside and out.

"One thing I have to remind you is that one-third of the liquor market in Chang'an City is controlled by our family and two-thirds is controlled by the Cui family, which is the famous Cui family of Qinghe. After your liquor is put on the market It has no impact on the mid- to low-end, but for high-end liquor, which is the most profitable, it can be said to be a direct reshuffle, and you have to be careful about the trouble they cause you."

After talking about the serious matters, Changsun Pingting told Li Xiang another thing. As the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty, the Changsun family was not the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty. Their family only had some influence in the capital. If we talk about other regions, it is still a world of five surnames and seven hopes.

After coming to this world, Li Xiang came into contact with the Qinghe Cui family for the first time. According to historical records, this was the most wealthy family in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Cheng Yaojin's wife is from the Cui family of Qinghe, but it is not the main line, just a side branch. Even so, her background is considered to be second to none in the capital.

"Don't worry, aunt. My nephew has never been afraid of any challenge. He will be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and soil. What's more, this is still my kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, so why be afraid of these clowns."

Li Xiang was full of arrogance for a moment, and his eldest grandson Pingting was stunned to see that a child of only thirteen years old could say such heroic words. If you didn't know this child well, you would have thought you were talking nonsense. , but what he has done in recent times all demonstrates Li Xiang’s wisdom and domineering power.

No one has ever called Qi Wang, the fifth surname, a clown. Including the current emperor, everyone felt a headache when talking about Qi Wang, the fifth surname.

Although their power in the court is not very strong, it has reached its extreme among the people and penetrated into every corner. If they use force, I am afraid that the emperor's empire will be unstable, so they can only fight with each other under rules. .

Li Xiang has known this a long time ago, so there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you don't rebel, then we are the best at playing when there are rules. Don't forget that we come from the modern world a thousand years later. , can we be afraid of you few local landowners?

"Miss, the Ministry of War is here."

While the two were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the Ministry of War. According to Changsun Wuji's wishes, although Changsun Pingting hurried over to talk about things, it was best to drop Li Xiang off near the Ministry of War instead of arriving there. Going to the gate was too ostentatious, but Changsun Pingting was so stunned just now that she actually forgot about it.

A woman's carriage appeared at the gate of the Ministry of War. This is a rare thing in itself. Moreover, this is the eldest daughter of the Changsun family, which makes it even more rare. Women do not come to the Ministry of War on errands, so who are they sending here? ? Have you never heard of the eldest daughter of the eldest grandson’s family being betrothed?

Everyone raised their heads to see what happened...
