Chapter 7: Cheng Yaojin’s son
The young man rushed towards Li Yin, Li Yin yelled inwardly and turned around to leave, who would have thought that the young man was so fast that he overtook Li Yin extremely quickly.
There is no way to hide, so Li Yin could only say with a bitter face: "Brother Huailiang, don't you usually go to this place of fireworks? Why did you change your temper today and even recruited the general?"
Cheng Huailiang looked as if he was in imminent disaster, hiding behind Li Yin and trembling all over, "It wasn't that brat Lu Boyan who said he was buying me a drink and dragged me here."
When he was speaking, the middle-aged man had already arrived in front of Li Yin. Seeing Li Yin, the middle-aged man put away his double axes, and first saluted: "The old minister sees His Highness the Sixth Highness."
"General Cheng!" Li Yin returned a salute. This person was none other than the famous Cheng Yaojin in history.
"You son of a bitch, let me see where you are going!" Cheng Yaojin was well-known in the court for his fiery temper, so he saluted, picked up the ax and hit Cheng Huailiang.
"Help!" Cheng Huailiang held Li Yin tightly, as if treating Li Yin like a human shield.
Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth, he couldn't do anything with the ax in his hand, if he hurt Li Yin, it would be a serious crime.
When the matter got to this point, Li Yin hurriedly stopped him: "General, if you go down with the axe, Huai Liang's little life will be gone. I asked for you. He is also a first-time offender, and he was induced by Lu Boyan. excusable!"
Although Cheng Yaojin is a military commander, he is also a shrewd person. Since Li Min made up his mind to protect Cheng Huailiang, he couldn't take action to teach him a lesson, so he said: "Today, for His Highness's sake, I will spare you once. And next time, see if I don't break your leg."
After saying goodbye, Cheng Yaojin left with a group of people, Cheng Huailiang heaved a sigh of relief, and continued: "Hurry up and save people!"
"Save who?" Li Yin asked strangely.
"Lv Boyan, this kid got punched by my father, I don't know what happened?" When he said that, he dragged Li Yin into the Lichun Courtyard...
A carriage walked slowly along the straight street towards the Prince Liang's Mansion. In the carriage, apart from Li Yin, there was also Cheng Huailiang, and a Lu Boyan who had been beaten into a pig's head.
"I want to impeach your father, I want to impeach..."
Along the way, Lu Boyan kept chanting this sentence. Cheng Huailiang apologized and apologized for his father. The carriage was small, and there was a strong man and a sideways one, and Li Min was squeezed into the corner.
"I said you two, you should go home, what do you mean by staying with me temporarily?"
Lu Boyan was very angry today, "Can I go home like this?" Pointing to his own ugly face.
"My father's anger probably hasn't subsided yet. I'll go back in two days. Your Highness Six, please accept me!" Cheng Huailiang begged pitifully.
Looking at the two rascals, Li Yin had no choice but to think he was unlucky, why did he think of going shopping today!
Back at the palace, Li Yin asked Jin Daqian to prepare two guest rooms, and left the two guys alone, leaving them to fend for themselves. The public sale of shampoo was imminent. After several days of selection, several merchants favored by Li Yin were invited in. After arriving at the palace, the appointed time has come, and Li Yin is rushing to meet them.
In the study room of the palace, three businessmen were sitting upright, and the atmosphere was awkward. As the saying goes, colleagues are enemies. Now the businessmen in Chang’an City are all looking at the fat of shampoo. No businessman wants to monopolize this market, but Li Yin obviously doesn’t want to let it go. There is nothing they can do if they eat all by themselves.
"Your Highness Six!" Tong Nian was the first to stand up and salute. Among the three businessmen, he was the most proud. With Li Ke's relationship, he believed that His Royal Highness King Liang would give him the most fat.
"Sixth Highness!", "Sixth Highness" and the other two also stood up and saluted when Li Yin came in.
Returning the gift, Li Yin asked: "I haven't asked you about the names of the merchants yet!" 𝙛𝓇𝘦e𝙬𝑒𝚋𝒏૦ѵel. c𝒐𝚖
"My lord, Wang Anzhi, is in the spice business."
"My lord, Liu Yuanxing, is in the rouge business."
Tong Nian is a speculative businessman. Li Yin already knew it from Li Ke, so he didn't ask.
"Everyone knows what shampoo is, so I won't say much. I chose you because of your reputation and financial resources in Chang'an City. Let me explain to you first. The purchase price of the palace is two hundred yuan a piece. bottle, so the price for you will only be high, not low, and there are already 20,000 bottles of shampoo stored in the palace, how much you can eat depends on your financial resources, I wonder if you can continue?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness Sixth, there is absolutely no problem. It's easy for me to eat it alone!" Tong Nian's words made the other two glared.
Li Yin smiled and understood that four thousand taels of silver was just a small number to them. He continued: "But the ugly thing is that the shampoo comes from my Prince Liang's mansion, which is related to the reputation of my Prince Liang's mansion. After selling it to you, if you do something to deceive buyers, don't blame me for cutting off your money from now on."
"The villain dare not!" The three said in unison.
Discussed some details with several people, and the three of them left satisfied. Tomorrow, they can directly trade with Jin Daqian, paying the money and delivering the goods.
After the shampoo matter came to an end, Li Yin relaxed a lot, waiting for his pockets to bulge up slowly.
In the evening, Li Yin summoned all the servants of the palace, asked Jin Daqian to purchase some ingredients, and set up a few tables in the open space of the palace. People still have to win people over these days, otherwise, no one will work for you sincerely.
The setting sun was like blood, staining Prince Liang's mansion red. In a spacious open space, four large round tables were filled with various dishes, including meat that servants seldom eat on weekdays. The man and the maid stood together awkwardly, swallowing their saliva, and no one dared to sit at the table.
I learned from Jin Daqian that there is a big banquet in the palace tonight. Cheng Huailiang and Lu Boyan don't regard themselves as outsiders at all. They occupied a table early in the morning, with a shameless look, and kept yelling for drinks.
Seeing this, Li Yin really wanted to kick these two guys out of the palace.
When the food and drink were served, Li Yin asked everyone to sit down, and said: "Everyone has worked hard these past few days, and the banquet is set up today to reward everyone. Everyone knows that the shampoo has made the Wangfu a lot of money, and the expenses of the Wangfu are used The degree is now a little more relaxed. If you have enough money to set up such a few tables of wine and food, the palace will have other business in the future. You are all old people in the palace. I hope you can do your best for the palace in the future. This king will not Sorry everyone."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will do our best!" Jin Daqian and Gao Accountant took the lead in standing up, and everyone else respectfully responded.
Cheng Huailiang and Lu Boyan looked at Li Yin with strange eyes, always feeling that he was a little different from before, but the bowl of wine was full, and the two of them immediately forgot about it.
Everyone ate with gusto, hearty and hearty, but Li Min seldom moved his chopsticks. Although the food was rich, the color, aroma and taste were always not to his liking. He looked satisfied, but he couldn't say anything. For them, this was already a delicacy.
Ingredients, auxiliary materials, and methods are all problems. Li Yin is a little bit emotional. After all, this is the Tang Dynasty. The cooking methods are very simple. Basically, they boil, stew, and burn. Not to mention the toppings.
"Your Highness, I offer you a toast!" Cheng Huailiang did not inherit anything else, but inherited Cheng Yaojin's alcohol addiction, and he couldn't walk when he drank alcohol.
Looking at the cloudy rice wine in the wine glass, Li Yin picked it up and took a sip. It was similar to alcoholic beverages in the 21st century. It was sour and not appetizing at all, but this was still the best wine in the Tang Dynasty at present, selling for one hundred and twenty The price of an altar of Wenqian.
"Rotten wine!" After a few sips, Li Yin put the cup down heavily, causing everyone to stare at him. Jin Daqian rushed over, "My lord, is this wine not to your liking?"
Cheng Huailiang ate several large bowls, "This is the famous apricot blossom fragrance, the best wine in Chang'an, and His Highness used to like this wine the most."
Lu Boyan gnawed on the chicken leg with his mouth missing two front teeth, and said inarticulately: "Yes, yes!"
"Wait a few days, let you understand what wine is!" Li Yin laughed twice and said.
The banquet ended happily, and everyone went back satisfied. Only Sima Tu, who had just reported in the morning, stayed on the dining table and swept up the leftovers. Li Yin finally understood why this guy only wanted to be full, and he could eat all the food by himself. Eat a meal for six people.
Cheng Huailiang and Lu Boyan went back to rest respectively. These two guys drank a lot and got drunk. After everyone dispersed, Li Yin took a walk in the palace, and at the same time, fell into thinking.
Thoroughly improving the standard of living in the Tang Dynasty could not be achieved simply by bringing modern things here for sale. The input of advanced technology is fundamental, and buying shampoo back and forth has already made him tired enough. Next, He is going to bring some craftsmanship and equipment here.
While everyone was resting, Li Yin returned to his old house and turned on the Internet. He began to search for technologies suitable for development in the Tang Dynasty and printed out these technologies. He took them back and studied them slowly. He is not a omnipotent technology tree. They can all be made.
Thinking of the issue of wine, he searched for stills on Taobao, which is a necessary facility for the production of high-purity wine, and he wants to monopolize the market by relying on these equipment that others cannot easily copy.
Open the website, there are many manufacturers selling stills on the Internet, and there are various models. Li Min finally chose six copper stills. The reason why he chose copper stills was to reduce the suspicion of others. The craftsmanship has been relatively perfect, and he can explain it calmly.
After surfing the Internet for a while, Li Yin went to the city, shuttling back and forth between the two worlds, which really made him feel like a dream. After wandering in the street for a while, Li Yin bought a few bottles of liquor and went back. In this world, he has no ties, but in that world, everything is about to begin.
