From eunuch to emperor

"Long Shangshu is really handsome, the rumors are true."

Shi Jian had a smiling face, and it looked like he was in business.

"Hallmaster Shi is also a dragon and phoenix among people, and he is even more famous when he meets him."

Long Chen boasted as usual.

Shi Jian chuckled and said, "I dare not do it. I'm just a businessman. In just one year, Long Shangshu became a minister for two volumes. Looking at the world, only Long Shangshu can do it alone."

Long Chen smiled, and said: "In business and business, there is no need for politeness. Today, Hall Master Shi is honored to come to my Qiuxing Hall. Long is very happy."

"Long story short, I want to cooperate with your Dragon Gang."

Long Chen got straight to the point and said his plan.

Shi Jian was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "This...Thanks to Lord Shangshu, it's just that our chamber of commerce never does business with the imperial court."

Long Chen smiled and said: "If you couldn't do it before, it doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future. If others don't do it, it doesn't mean you can't do it."

Shi Jian smiled, but did not answer.

Xiang Ning poured tea, Shi Jian smiled and thanked.

After taking a sip of tea, Shi Jian said in embarrassment, "I, Shi, can't take charge of this matter."

Long Chen smiled, Xiang Ning immediately brought in a jug and two celadon cups.

The jug tilted slightly, and a stream of clear wine poured out, falling into the cup, and the strong aroma of the wine spread out.

Shi Jian is a good wine drinker, the aroma of the wine entered his nose, and his saliva immediately came out.

"Good wine!"

Shi Jian stared straight at the wine in the glass with his eyes.

"Please!"

Long Chen picked up a cup and took a sip.

Shi Jian held the glass in both hands, sniffed it carefully, then closed his eyes, and praised with enjoyment: "Good wine, good wine!"

Carefully holding the cup, put it near his mouth, inhale the wine, and savor it for a while.

After the wine entered his throat, and then into his stomach, Shi Jian clicked his tongue and praised: "This is the best wine I have ever tasted! Dare I ask Lord Shangshu..."

Shi Jian wanted to ask where the wine came from, but he immediately understood and asked in surprise, "Is this wine brewed by Long Shangshu?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "That's right, it's the wine brewed by me, I named it Beauty Drunk."

Shi Jian had a drink and wanted to drink another.

Xiang Ning poured a few more cups for Shi Jian, and Shi Jian drank like a sweet spring, very intoxicated.

"Although spirits are good, don't be greedy."

Long Chen reminded with a smile.

Shi Jian chuckled and said, "I've lost my composure, I've always been a good wine drinker, and I can't help it when I see good wine."

Long Chen smiled and said: "I can't drink any more, I'll get drunk."

Shi Jian laughed and said: "To tell you the truth, Lord Shangshu, I have no other abilities, but I drink a lot and have never been drunk."

Long Chen smiled and said: "Xiang Ning, cut a plate of mutton, and bring a pot of wine."

Xiang Ning immediately took another jug ​​of wine, cut a plate of cooked mutton and added salt.

Seeing the wine, Shi Jian let go, cupped his hands and confessed: "Master Shang Shu, please forgive me."

After speaking, Shi Jian picked up the jug, ate a few slices of mutton, and drank the whole jug of wine.

“Good wine, good wine...”

Shi Jian drank and admired, feeling as if he was falling into the clouds, floating.

"I am drunk?"

Shi Jian suddenly came to his senses, he had never felt this way before.

"My jug of wine is worth a tank of wine, Hall Master Shi drank so fast, so he got drunk."

"Let's go outside to sober up."

An eunuch came in, helped Shi Jian to sit in the yard, and Xiang Ning came over to make tea.

Shi Jian blew the breeze, sobering up a little.

"I understand, Master Shang Shu wants to sell us wine."

"That's right. I have two things here, briquettes and beauty drunk. We supply them, and you ship them."

Shi Jian thought that Long Chen wanted to directly invest in the Dragon Gang, and they would definitely not accept such a cooperation method.

But if Long Chen supplies the goods, and provides peerless fine wine like Beauty Drunk, the Dragon Gang will definitely agree.

In the final analysis, business is more about products.

"No problem, I, Shi, can make the decision on this matter."

Shi Jian immediately agreed.

He is an old alcoholic, and he knows very well that this beauty will definitely sell well after entering the market drunk, and it will definitely make money.

For a long time, Tianxiahui's products have always been the leader of the Dragon Gang, and this time he is sure to stand up.

"Just, I want to ask, how much can Lord Shangshu give us?"

Long Chen said: "There is no limit to briquettes, I will give you as much as you want."

"But the beauty is drunk, I need you to provide the best white rice in Nanliang, I will tell you, my wine is also brewed with rice."

Shi Jian immediately said: "No problem, white rice is enough."

Long Chen said with a smile: "Then I have enough wine, it depends on how much Hall Master Shi can sell."

Shi Jian was overjoyed and said, "What about the price?"

Long Chen said: "300 coins for fighting wine!"

hiss...

Shi Jian wondered: "It's good to be drunk with a beauty, but the rejuvenation wine of Tianxiahui is only 100 yuan for fighting wine..."

What he means is that the price is too high.

300 qian per bucket is Long Chen's shipping price, and the Long Gang sells it at least twice as much. By then, 600 qian for a bucket of wine, this price will be outrageous.

Long Chen said with a smile: "Master Shi, the Dragon Gang has been suppressed to be in the low-end market, this time it will be sold at a high price."

"Besides, my Beauty Drunk has no other branches, and the pricing power is in your hands."

As the head of the hall, Shi Jian certainly understands what Long Chen said.

"I'm going to try."

Shi Jian said cautiously.

"No problem, test marketing is a must."

"I'd like to give Hallmaster Shi a suggestion. Nanliang's culture is at its peak, and literati like wine. Nanliang is a market, and there are barbarians. It's bitter cold there, and drinking to warm up. These two places are sure to sell well."

"I suggest selling briquettes to the barbarians and Xixia. The barbarians are still burning cow dung, and there are not many trees in Xixia, so they also need briquettes."

Where to sell things, Long Chen has already thought about it.

Shi Jian was surprised and said: "I didn't expect Master Shang Shu to be proficient in the way of merchants."

The target market that Long Chen said was very accurate, Shi Jian felt that Long Chen was not like an official, but more like a businessman.

"Just a little understanding, I have prepared 100 tanks of beauty drunk, a total of 5000 buckets, you can take it back immediately."

Long Chen signaled Xiang Ning to send Meirenzui to Qianlongtang, a branch of the Dragon Gang.

Shi Jian sobered up a little, got up staggeringly and said: "Master Shangshu is refreshing, Shi Mou will leave first."

Long Chen arranged for an eunuch to help Shi Jian go back.

After Shi Jian returned to Qianlongtang, he immediately tried selling beauty drunk in Daughter City.

At the beginning, everyone was not familiar with it, and no one cared about Beauty Drunk. After a few days, some old alcoholics took a few sips, and the reputation of Beauty Drunk immediately spread.

The 100 cylinders of Beauty Drunk sold out quickly, and the price reached 800 yuan for Doujiu.

Shi Jian was overjoyed, and immediately wrote a letter to the main hall, talking about cooperating with Long Chen.

The general hall replied quickly and let Shi Jian take full responsibility.

Fengming Palace.

The empress held a blue and white porcelain cup in her hand, in which the beauty was drunk and the fragrance of the wine was overflowing.

"Is this the Beauty Drunk brewed by Long Chen?"

The empress took a sip, the wine was mellow and strong, it was indeed a good wine that she had never tasted before.

"That's right, the Dragon Gang sold the drunken beauty for 800 yuan for fighting wine in Daughter City, and 1000 yuan for fighting wine in Nanliang."

"According to this speed, it will not be a problem to fill up the deficit within two years of the Ministry of Accounts."

Yingfeng was very surprised when she said that, she didn't expect Long Chen to do this.

Everyone thought that Long Chen would increase taxes, but they didn't expect to create Beauty Drunk and cooperate with the Dragon Gang.

"This Long Chen is really a clever ghost, and has repeatedly plotted strange things."

The empress took a sip of the beauty and got drunk, her eyes were deep and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"My lord, I am a little worried."

Yingfeng said suddenly.
