First, he used the warm water handed by Yang Yuxin to put the dry milk powder in his mouth into his stomach, and then asked the palace maid to pour boiling water into the cup containing the milk powder. ”

As for Cheng Lao's goods...... Don't pay attention to him, this guy is holding the glass jar of milk powder and sending it to his mouth one by one, and the food is hearty.

"Well, it tastes good, but it's a little different from normal milk." Du Ruhui took a sip and smacked his lips and said.

The old guy was poisoned by heavy metals and drank milk for about a month, but then he developed a habit that he felt uncomfortable if he didn't drink it for a day, so the milk powder immediately felt different from fresh milk as soon as he entered it.

"This milk powder is dried, and the raw material is fresh milk or goat's milk, but because it has gone through many processes, the taste will be different from fresh milk." Li Chengqian slowly drank his own cup, and then asked Yang Yuxin to take out another bottle, and when he saw who had drunk it, he would make another cup for whomever he wanted.

When everyone had almost drunk it, Li Chengqian said slowly: "Regarding the matter of wool, I think that felt can be used as a low-end commodity, which is to meet the needs of those ordinary herdsmen on the grassland, relying on sales, not unit price, so don't count the uncles in this regard, there is really not much money." ”

"Plus, we have a mid-range product." Li Chengqian beckoned to Ye Mei and Yang Yuxin behind him, and asked them to take out the tweed materials, tweed coats, tweed tops and other things prepared in advance.

"What is this? It looks pretty good. Chewing dry milk powder in his mouth, he couldn't even stop Fairy Cheng's mouth, and the old man saw that there was something new to take out, and he immediately came to the spirit.

"It's called tweed, it's a thick cloth that can be made into clothes, and it's good to use it in winter to protect against the cold." Li Chengqian briefly introduced the tweed material, and then said: "This thing is aimed at some people with better conditions, a horse is also four zhang long and three feet wide, but the price is ten times that of felt. ”

Ten times? A piece of such cloth is going to be sold for seven times? You must know that Qiguan is enough to buy a good white cotton, but now this material will be sold for Qiguan, which is simply a sky-high price.

After all, the raw material of white cotton cloth is white stacks, and the price of that thing is absolutely not the same as the wool used to make the wool, and the price difference is hundreds of times.

At this time, everyone came, even Fairy Cheng put the milk powder bottle aside and listened carefully.

"Isn't Qiguan a little expensive?" Qin Qiong is an honest person in the end, and she feels that some useless wool things are sold for seven times, and some of them can't accept it.

"What's expensive, I think it's good, how can it reflect nobility if it's not expensive? Anyway, as long as they don't tell them what this thing is made of, even if it is sold for seventy yuan, they won't feel anything wrong. ”

"But the people of the Tang Dynasty can't afford to use it."

"Didn't you listen to that kid, this thing is not for ordinary people, so it doesn't matter if ordinary people can afford it or not."

The sound of a fierce quarrel spread from Li Chengqian's tent to the outside, attracting many people to stop and listen, but they were quickly driven away by the guards guarding outside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, uncles." Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, Li Chengqian had to stand up and suppress everyone's emotions: "Uncles, please don't forget the issue of tariffs, the price of things in Datang is different from the price outside the territory. ”

"Why?" Cheng Yanjin asked stunned.

"Because of taxes." Li Chengqian replied: "These things are restricted from leaving Datang, which means that these materials can only be sold in Datang, and if you want to ship them out, you must accept high tariffs." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, isn't the customs duty collected by the other party? How did it become that we collected it ourselves? Fang Xuanling quickly reacted and found the loophole in Li Chengqian's words.

"Uncle Fang, you're talking about import tax, and I'm talking about export tax." Li Chengqian smiled lightly, took the tweed coat from Yang Yuxin's hand and rubbed it gently on his lap: "This thing is not easy to make, Datang has not popularized it, how can it be so easy for people to transport it out?" Therefore, the price of this thing in the territory of Datang is worth 500 Wen at most. But if you want to export, seven times, you can't have one less copper. ”

"Okay, good boy, this price is set, Lao Cheng admires it." Cheng Laoxiang didn't understand what import tax and export tax were, but he felt that what Li Chengqian said was quite lofty, and he had some unclear feelings.

"Uncle Cheng, don't you think that the more expensive things are sold, the more people will buy them? If we sell it cheaply, maybe no one will buy it. Li Chengqian's words were very plain, but there was a sense of penetrating the world.

"If it's cheap, no one will buy it?" Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Chengqian's eyes a little strangely, this was the first time he had heard of this statement.

"Of course, just think about it, Uncle Cheng thinks your house will be covered with this kind of felt?" Li Chengqian nodded, and at the same time pointed to the rough felt on the ground and asked.

"No, it won't." Lao Cheng shook his head, thought for a while and said, "If there is a very soft carpet like yours, Lao Cheng Dao wants to spread a piece at home." ”

"That kind of carpet is not cheap, if you want to cover this tent, you can't do it without two thousand." Li Chengqian said to Lao Cheng seriously.

"Two thousand?" Lao Cheng stared at the boss with bull's eyes, licked his lips and said, "There is no cheaper?" ”

"No, that's the price." Li Chengqian shook his head with a smile, and said after a while: "But if the uncle wants it, the little nephew can give you a few pieces." ”

"Then it's decided, when the spring hunt is over, send a hundred and ten yuan to Lao Cheng's family."

"Don't make a fuss." Qin Qiong listened to Cheng Biting Jin's more and more words, and couldn't help but scold.

A piece that can be covered with a tent costs 2,000 yuan, and if these 100 pieces are ten yuan, what is the price? Qin Qiong read few books, and she didn't understand it after a long time.

As a result, Cheng Biting Jinli didn't listen to Qin Qiong at all, but said bluntly: "Don't give up such a valuable thing in vain, I said second brother, do you want this kid to give you a few yuan?" ”

"Hehe...... Zhijie, Your Highness is joking with you." Du Ruhui listened to it for a long time, and finally understood what Li Chengqian meant:

The higher the value of the thing, the more it will attract the possessiveness of some powerful people, when this desire is generated, whether it is to buy or rob or want, in short, this kind of thing will appear in the home of the powerful, then it is equivalent to selling it for Datang, anyway, no one dares to grab Li Chengqian's things in Datang, and it is estimated that no one dares to grab big things outside the territory.

As for the Hu merchant ...... who transported goods back and forth, whether they were robbed or not didn't seem to have much to do with Datang.
