Chapter 751 Soybean Oil Market Problems (Three Changes)
"What kind of oil are you using, and why have I never seen it before?" Since he found the difference in oil, Li Shimin naturally wanted to ask Li Tai for clarification.
"My father really has a unique vision, and the oil used by his sons today is not ordinary animal oil. Instead, Erchen uses soybeans and squeezes soybean oil. The dishes made with it will be even more delicious. Li Tai said to Li Shimin without hesitation.
After Li Shimin nodded, he took the fried mutton and dipped it in the dipping sauce and put it in his mouth.
It doesn't matter if you eat it, it makes Li Shimin feel full of fragrance in an instant. So I put a few slices in the pot in a row, and I ate a few slices in a row before putting down the chopsticks.
For the emperor, there are not many times to eat like this. So everyone can't help but wonder what the taste of this fried meat is. Why did Li Shimin be so interested?
"Brothers and gentlemen, don't be restrained, today we only talk about Fengyue regardless of monarchs and ministers. Brothers, you can let go of eating and drinking. Li Shimin said to everyone with a smile.
Then Li Shimin fried a few more slices of meat for his eldest grandson. After the eldest grandson ate it, he was also full of praise. happily said to Li Tai: "It's really condescending that you don't become a cook." This palace really wants to transfer you to the imperial dining room, and the food will definitely be greatly improved compared to the harem. ”
Datang is a person who cares more about food, otherwise he will definitely not regard fat as beauty in women's aesthetic concepts. Because only when you eat more and eat well, will you be eligible to be fat.
Then Qin Qiongcheng bit Jin and the others also fell one after another, and began to try fried meat that they had never seen before. And while eating, he was full of praise for Li Tai.
Later, Li Tai gave a detailed introduction and demonstration of the way to eat other delicacies. Let everyone completely grasp the way of making this fried meat.
Everyone who ate this big meal was full of oil, and they were all very happy. But what everyone is more interested in is the soybean oil.
So Cheng Yanjin smiled and asked Li Tai: "You kid hurry up, how much does this soybean oil cost for a bottle in the Thirty-third Heaven?" ”
"Uncle Cheng still knows me, but this soybean oil has not yet been officially put on the market. But it won't be long. As for the price, even the people can afford it. Li Tai said to Cheng Yanjin with a smile.
"It's not easy for you kid not to be rich. It seems that I, Cheng Yanjin, am going to change my impression of you. Cheng Yanjin said to Li Tai with a smile.
Since even the people can afford to eat it, it means that the price of soybean oil must not be very high. Judging from Li Tai's past style, this has never happened.
As long as it is a novelty made by Li Tai, before it is mastered by others. The selling price is definitely not cheap, and it is definitely beyond the reach of the people.
Li Shimin also nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Li Tai: "You can have such a change, which really makes me very satisfied." I hope you can continue to carry forward this style in the future, so that the people of the world can be blessed because of you. ”
"Please rest assured, there will be more good things in the future. The retainers would sell them at a price that the people could afford. Of course, some luxury goods are a different story. Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile.
The meal was eaten with great euphoria, and everyone raised their glasses and drank until late at night. And everyone is already drunk, this kind of relaxed life has not been tried for a long time.
Even Li Shimin himself was drunk. Even the eldest grandson of the queen, Wuji, drank pink.
……
Li Tai did not return to Chang'an, but took the train back to Youzhou directly. Of course, Qin Huaiyu and Princess Jingluo also left with Li Tai.
Before leaving, the eldest grandson Wujian explained everything to Princess Jingluo. I am afraid that Princess Jingluo has no experience in her first pregnancy, which will cause something wrong with the child.
And because Princess Jingluo was pregnant, Li Tai also ate a lot of melon branding. Because the eldest grandson Wujian directly questioned Li Tai, when would Li Tai be able to get his princess pregnant, and let him be a grandmother.
Of course, Li Tai didn't need to hide Li Xin's affairs, so he told Li Xin's matter to his eldest grandson Wujian. This can make the eldest grandson Wujian feel distressed enough.
and explained to Li Tai that he must send someone to find Li Xin. After all, he is a royal bloodline, and he can't tolerate the slightest mistake.
Li Tai naturally agreed, which made the eldest grandson Wujian feel at ease and let him get on the train. After getting on the train, Li Tai sat on the seat and let out a long breath.
Then he said to himself: "It is the same in ancient and modern times, and there is no mother who does not want her child to have a son early." ”
……
Without saying anything all the way, Li Tai and Qin Huaiyu returned to Youzhou. After returning to Youzhou, Li Tai became busy again.
The first thing is to let Zou Fengchi put soybean oil on the market. And the price was set at twice the price of grain. This is enough for ordinary people to afford soybean oil.
However, this does not mean that Li Tai's profits are small, because the manufacturing method of this soybean oil is currently known only to Li Tai himself. The likelihood of being imitated in a short period of time is very small.
Therefore, Li Tai took the road of small profits and quick turnover, even if his price was not very high. In the end, you will get unexpected profits.
"Lord, now we have implemented Tang Yuan. However, in other state capitals, it is Kaiyuan Tongbao. Therefore, most of the income of the Thirty-Three Heavens in other state capitals is still Kaiyuan Tongbao. ”
"But this Kaiyuan Tongbao doesn't seem to be of much use to us. Therefore, the lord must find a way to exchange these Kaiyuan Tongbao for things that are useful to us. Zou Fengchi stood up and asked Li Tai in the Yin'an Palace.
Li Tai nodded and said, "What you said is right, so we must not transport Kaiyuan Tongbao back to Youzhou." Not only Kaiyuan Tongbao, but also silver. Gold, of course, is a different story. ”
"But I'm afraid there aren't many people who use gold to consume. Most of the people who use it should still be Kaiyuan Tongbao. So we have to exchange Kaiyuan Tongbao for the goods we need, and then ship it back to Youzhou. ”
"The subordinates understood, and the subordinates went back to make arrangements. It is guaranteed that within half a month, soybean oil will be put on the market. At the same time, the main father will bring back the items that the main father needs. Zou Fengchi saluted Li Tai and said.
After all, Zou Fengchi is responsible for sales, and the production mainly relies on Gao Ping. So Li Tai explained to Gao Ping and asked him to immediately increase the production of soybean oil.
Even Gaoping was allowed to build additional refineries, no matter how big the investment. The supply of soybean oil must be guaranteed, and in any case there must be no shortage of goods.
Because Li Tai's main purpose this time is to let the people eat soybean oil. If the supply of the quantity put on the market exceeds the demand, even if the price is set very low, I am afraid that the people will not be able to eat it.
There are even people who hoard soybean oil and hike prices to make a profit. This is definitely something that Li Tai does not want to see.
In order to prevent this from happening, then it is necessary to increase the production of soybean oil. Even so, it is inevitable that someone will secretly make profits. But it can be avoided as much as possible.
Gao Ping got up and said to Li Tai: "My lord, it is not difficult to increase the refinery. The difficulty lies in the supply of soybeans, and if there are not enough soybeans, even if we have more factories, it will not help. ”
Gao Ping is right, after all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Therefore, the amount of soybean reserves has become a top priority. And the soybeans sown by Li Tai this time have not yet reached the harvest season.
If it is harvest season, Li Tai really does not worry about the lack of soybean reserves. After all, the amount of soybean planted by themselves is as high as one million acres.
"This king will let the thirty-three heavens buy soybeans as much as possible, and will definitely guarantee your use." Li Tai said to Gao Ping.
"Lord, now the lord has completely offended the Central Plains family. Therefore, if the subordinates are not mistaken, the plan of the lord to purchase soybeans may not go smoothly. Xu Liang said to Li Tai.
Li Tai knew that what Xu Liang said was right, if he started buying soybeans on his side, plus soybean oil had already been put on the market. I am afraid that those Central Plains families will start hoarding soybeans, and eventually they will not be able to get enough soybeans.
Even if you can get soybeans, the price you pay will be much higher than the market price. This will inevitably increase the cost of Li Tai, so the price of soybean oil will naturally rise.
"My lord, my subordinates have a way to make those big families suffer a loss. And it can ensure that the lord gets a sufficient amount of soybeans. Liu Renliang opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.
Liu Renliang's words couldn't help but make Li Tai interested, because of all the things that could make trouble for the family. It's all things that Li Tai is more keen to do.
So Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Liu Renliang: "If Liu Xiang has any way, it is better to listen to it." If it is feasible, it will be done according to Liu Xiang's wishes. ”
"In fact, this matter is very simple, the lord can buy Shu millet first. And at the same time, reduce the amount of fairy drunkenness. This will definitely make them feel that the Shu millet in the hands of the lord is not enough. ”
"So as Gao Ping said, they will definitely get in the way. So that the lord can't get the low-priced Shu millet. And the lord can start selling a large number of immortal drunk after they have hoarded a large amount of Shu millet. ”
In this way, the Shu millet in their hands will be backlogged in their hands. After all, in addition to the usefulness of the lord, they can only feed the horses. Liu Renliang said to Li Tai with a smile.
Liu Renliang is right, the main staple food in the Tang Dynasty was wheat and rice. As for this Shu millet, there are very few of them. Most of them are used to feed horses and other livestock.
And the Shu millet in Li Tai's hands is definitely not a small number. It is already possible to reach the point of self-sufficiency. There is no need to purchase from outside at all.
So in the end, those big families will definitely suffer a lot of losses because of this. And Li Tai can also take the opportunity to raise the price of Shu millet and make those big families suffer greater losses.
