Chapter 1455: The absolute son-in-law of riding the dragon(1/2)
"Brother Han, this is the new type of tea we brought from Jiangnan."
Yuan Xiu walked over with a manager holding an exquisite jar.
"I really miss you!"
Han Yi hurriedly took out some tea leaves from the jar and put them in the tip of his nose to smell it, and then said repeatedly: "No, not bad. Are my portions ready?"
Yuan Xiu said: "Don't worry, Brother Han, we have prepared this long ago."
"Okay, take it down quickly, I have to take it for my father-in-law to taste it."
Qian Dafang and the others stood aside, tilting their heads and watching. They had never seen this kind of tea like dead leaves. They also heard that Han Yi wanted to give it to his father-in-law, knowing that this thing was definitely a good thing.
"Brother Han, why don't you see this tea before?"
“Where is this produced?”
Han Yi smiled and said to Yuan Xiu: "You go and ask him."
Yuan Xiudao: "Everyone, this is a tea made by our Yuanjia using a new technology. It is not only convenient to transport, but also very convenient to soak. You only need to burn hot water."
"Is that true?"
These merchants rushed around in a swarm. Qian Dafang smiled and said, "Young Master Yuan, look at us standing here, we have been thirsty for a long time. Why don't you take a little while now and let's try it."
Han Yi smiled and said, "Old Qian is right, let me take a try." How can I miss this kind of promotional opportunity?
Since Han Yi had spoken, Yuan Xiu had to do it and immediately ordered someone to boil water and make tea.
Yuanzhe and Han Yi continued to walk east along the river.
"What a pity!" Yuan Zhe suddenly sighed.
Han Yi said: "You want to say that Li Yang stole the limelight from the return of the fleet."
Yuanzhe nodded and said, "Originally this was enough to cause a sensation inside and outside Chang'an City, but now."
"It's okay, gold will always shine." Han Yi smiled and said, "You will give some to Deyuelou, Wanfulou, and some wine shops and teahouses later. You'll wait. Soon, everyone will go to your Yuan family to buy tea."
Yuan Zhe nodded and said, "Will my uncle and we go back to Yuanjiabao with us later?"
Han Yi said: "I have to go to Xiao Mansion first and then go to Yuanjiabao in the afternoon. Anyway, you can't live without it at this time."
With the fleet returning full load, it indicates that the commercial giant ship has begun to rotate. Since it is profitable, merchants will definitely continue to strengthen trade between the north and the south. Chang'an is a processing factory in Han Yi's plan, because it is full of manpower and technology is the most developed place in the country. Chang'an's manufacturing industry is already booming, and the Jiangnan and northwest transport more raw materials. In the previous trade, Chang'an was a transit station, and everyone was doing raw materials exchange, and the processing factory was obviously much higher than the transit station.
Of course, this also indicates that businessmen will no longer have time to rest, and they will continue to be busy, not only turning in the money storm created by Han Yi until they die.
The dock is still busy, and workers need to transport goods one by one to the warehouse, which belongs to Guanzhong Group. In addition, they have to transport the products produced in the past year to the warehouse to prepare for the second time. According to the contract, Changyun Group must maintain ships for Guanzhong Group and repair them. However, as the trade further increases, Guanzhong Group will naturally order more. Of course, they have made a lot of money and will not care about this aftermath work with Guanzhong Group.
After unloading the goods, the boatmen who followed the fleet must go back and rest honestly, because most of their rewards are directly given to their wives, and only a small part of the money is left for them. This is to avoid the boatmen from playing around with money and causing family disputes, which will naturally affect the boatmen's work. It is actually not easy to train a boatmen, so this provision is stated in the contract.
Because Han Yi met many boatmen in his previous life, they rarely had savings.
Xiao Mansion.
"Father-in-law, how about this tea?"
"This - tsk -!" Xiao Rui put down the teacup and said seriously: "I felt that the taste was dull for the first time I tasted this tea, but it could calm down. Moreover, the sweetness and aftertaste of it made me unable to help but try the second bite. OK! This tea is really good!" As he said that, he took a sip on his own, narrowed his eyes slightly, and liked it the more he tasted it.
Because I used to cook tea soup and added salt and some spices, the taste was of course strong. The tea made by Hanyi used the production process of later generations, and the taste was lighter, which was completely the fragrance of tea. Xiao Rui believed in Buddhism and was calm by nature, so he naturally liked this original tea.
Han Yi looked at Xiao Wuyi again.
Xiao Wuyi also turned the teacup with one hand and said slowly: "The fragrance is as fragrant as orchid, refreshing and fragrant as the teeth. Compared to our previous tea, it is indeed a unique flavor, and I like it very much." After speaking, I couldn't help but smile.
"Just like it!" Han Yi said: "I got a lot from Jiangnan this time. My father-in-law, you can give it to my uncle and others, and you also get some friends, such as Master Xuanzang, Mr. Li, and Shangshu Yan."
Xiao Rui said: "Is this tea very expensive?"
This Xiao family is not a small family, but there are quite a few things to give away!
Xiao Wuyi suddenly burst into laughter.
Xiao Rui frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Wuyi said, "Dad, why don't you understand him yet? Can he do a loss-making business? Many people have never tasted this tea when they first arrived in Chang'an, and it is a little different from the tea we used to drink. It is probably not easy to sell it at a good price. Our Lanling Xiao family is famous, and my father's friends are all high-ranking families. If they like it, they will naturally buy it again. If the gentry scramble to buy it, the tea may be able to sell at a good price."
Han Yi said in surprise: "Wuyi, why don't I know when you understand these things?"
Xiao Wuyi hummed softly and said proudly: "I have studied your tricks thoroughly."
Han Yi wondered: "Why are you studying this? Do you want to do business too?" But he said in his heart, don't do this.
"I don't want to do business!" Xiao Wuyi said: "I just don't want to be deceived by you again."
"Um?"
Xiao Rui looked at Han Yi with a look of surprise.
Dizzy! You can see the occasion when you speak! Han Yi hurriedly said, "Wuyi is joking, joking."
Fortunately, Xiao Wuyi's bad deeds gangsters, Xiao Rui trusted Han Yi more and said, "Wuyi, you are a mother, why are you still so unrestrained?"
Xiao Wuyi suddenly felt wronged and said, "Dad, you don't even ask the reason clearly, just say that your daughter is unrestrained."
Xiao Rui said: "Ask your uncle and others whether they are willing to believe Han Yi or you."
"Dad, you don't know your son-in-law too much." Xiao Wuyi was anxious.
Oh! What does this woman want to do? Han Yi hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, Wuyi, she is not polite. She just--knows I like to joke, so she often jokes with me."
Xiao Wuyi looked at Han Yi with disbelief, as if he was talking about it again, you are turning black and white!
Han Yi looked at her angrily and thought, could I say I started by cheating? Is there a gleam on your face? It’s true!
"Oh, I don't care about you anymore!" Xiao Rui waved his hand and smiled at Han Yi, "Since that's the case, I will thank you on behalf of your uncle and others."
Han Yi hurriedly said: "This is what it should be, it should be."
This is a maid who walked in and said, "Master, son-in-law, princess, the food is ready."
"Cook it up quickly."
Xiao Rui was very excited, as if he hadn't eaten for several days. In fact, he was eager to taste rapeseed oil produced in Jianzhou. This was related to Xiao Shougui's career. Jianzhou was originally a poor county. If Xiao Shougui could use this rapeseed oil to make this county rich, then in the future, he would be at least at the level of six ministers in the court.
After a while, the meal was delivered immediately.
Xiao Wuyi's second aunt and eldest aunt came directly to the lobby to taste it together.
As the saying goes, too much oil does not hurt the dish, which shows the importance of this oil.
As soon as they tasted it, they tasted differently and nodded in praise.
Xiao Rui wiped his mouth with a scarf and asked, "Son-in-law, how much wealth can this rapeseed oil bring to Jianzhou?"
Han Yi said: "In the next three years, it should be able to increase by about ten times."
“More – how much?”
Second aunt was stunned when she heard this. The chopsticks in her hand fell onto the table and swallowed the food in one bite. The finances of this state increased tenfold. What is this concept?
Han Yi said: "The finances of Jianzhou that I have checked are relatively poor in our Tang Dynasty states, because there is not a large population and is relatively scattered, and there is naturally not much arable land. It is naturally difficult to develop based on agriculture and sericulture. This jar of rapeseed oil can be exchanged for in Jiangnan, and it is not a problem to ten times more grain."
Xiao Rui said happily: "Okay, okay! This - I don't know what to say."
Han Yi said: "Father-in-law, you will see what you want to say."
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Rui couldn't even close his mouth.
Xiao Wuyi suddenly said, "But if this rapeseed oil sells well, then he will do it!"
It seems that she has really studied my ways! Han Yi said: "Jianzhou is a sparsely populated state. If it is done scattered, it will not be able to develop at all. Therefore, the government must guide it. I originally suggested that my elder brother cooperate with the government and treat this rapeseed oil as a state transaction. The technology is actually confidential. Even if someone studies it, it will take some time. Moreover, the rapeseed oil in Jianzhou is not good. As long as the rapeseed oil in Jianzhou becomes famous, you will not be afraid of not being able to sell it. After all, the national market is so big, no matter how much oil it can be consumed."
The eldest aunt said, "Han Yi, you are really fond of water when doing things!"
Han Yi said modestly: "The eldest aunt is too awarded. I will send someone some to you later, and I will also have my second aunt and the other family."
With Han Yi, the son-in-law, you really have a worry-free life!
The second aunt and eldest aunt began to think about letting her son go to the northwest. Judging from the current situation, following Han Yi’s arrangements, there is definitely a bright future!
After lunch in Xiao Mansion, Han Yi first slept with his son for a nap, and then immediately rushed to the Yuan family. The Yuan family was the priority in the business.
Yuanjiabao.
"Uncle, second uncle, you should have tasted the tea brought from Jiangnan."
"Not bad! Not bad! Your second uncle and I like it very much!"
Yuan Xi smiled and nodded repeatedly. Although they did not value eating, they had a very high taste. They knew that this tea must have a prospect when they tasted it. The most important thing is that it is convenient for transportation and brewing, which is more suitable for the fast-paced life in Chang'an today. He also said: "But everyone can grow this tea. I believe that it will not take long, and more tea merchants will appear in Jiangnan, and the competition may be very fierce at that time."
Han Yi said, "Uncle doesn't have to worry about this at all."
Yuan Xi hurriedly said, "How do you say this?"
Han Yi said: "Because this tea is a powerful tool for export, the northwest region and Tubo cannot be planted. Our Tang Dynasty alone is already a huge market. In addition, exports to the outside world can be tolerated by many tea merchants. In the next ten years, tea will definitely make rapid progress and will not fall."
Yuan Xi heard this and said, "Since you are so confident, I won't ask more." After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Recently - have you seen Xiaohu?"
Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I saw it a few days ago. He didn't dare to come back and hid in Changsun's house."
"This brat is so angry."
Yuan Xi slapped the table suddenly and said anxiously.
