Zheng Yueru has also been very busy recently.
She was riding a rail-carriage, running full of dragon flames.
The target cities are mainly southern cities. Of course, some northern cities cannot be left behind.
Because she is implementing the young master's work arrangements.
tea.
She took Xie Tianyao's license and the checkbook from Liangzhou Bank to buy tea everywhere.
The tea merchants were all very excited.
The tea farmers were all very happy.
Long Yan's tea leaves are harvested almost every year, and these tea merchants buy them at low prices and then do some trade. The disadvantage is that the price is too low. Because of the distribution channels, Longyan's tea cannot be sold at a high price every year.
Even lower than the price of crops.
This has also led many tea farmers to switch from growing tea to growing grain.
Of course, the imperial court will allocate shares every year, and some tasks still need to be completed.
But this year is different...
Completely different.
The Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce came here, skipped the middleman and purchased it at a high price! Tea that used to cost fifty cents can now be bought directly in one tael! In the past, Yuqian Longjing cost five taels of silver, but now it costs seven taels of silver!
Exploded.
The tea farmers calculated that this is still the fragrance of tea.
If they go by the current price, they can easily live a well-off life by growing tea!
Jing Chu.
Zheng Yueru has a busy life, but wherever she goes, she is warmly welcomed by tea farmers. People from the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce were also busy following her. Tea is naturally divided into grades, with different prices for each grade and different prices for each season. Therefore, this time, Zheng Yueru established a new department specifically responsible for tea, the Tea Rhythm Department, in every tea-producing place.
Very busy.
Although she didn't know why Liu Zheng focused on tea, she knew that there was a certain reason for what the young master did.
only.
She didn't notice.
At this time, in the city of Jingchu, several men with sinister eyes were looking at her in a restaurant.
These are several tea merchants from Jingchu.
boom!
One of the fat men slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground: "Damn it, this Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce will not leave us a way to survive at all!"
The other one also said coldly: "But I have a decree from the imperial court, what can you do?"
"What's wrong with the court? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. If my whole family can't survive, it doesn't matter whether you have a court or not!"
These people were all angry.
Who doesn’t know about the tea trade? You have to take care of businessmen at several levels. Who would have thought that the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce would directly cut off several links when they came here, causing second-rate dealers like them to directly lose a lot of profits!
Don’t play with them!
Zheng Yueru didn’t play with them at all!
"Find a way!"
“The fish is dead and the net is broken!”
"Let them Liangzhou people know that we Jingchu tea merchants are not easy to bully!"
"right!"
A group of people quickly reached an agreement and looked at each other, their eyes filled with coldness.
"Is it almost done here?"
Zheng Yueru wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Big shopkeeper, it's ready!"
"Haha, big shopkeeper, you got a lot of contracts this time."
"It went very well!"
Everyone in the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce is very happy.
Zheng Yueru also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "But we can't overdo it. We must learn to communicate more with the local officials. In any case, we can't affect the food harvest just because farmers have gone to plant tea."
"yes!"
A group of people responded.
Zheng Yueru just sat down and planned to take a rest.
Others quickly reminded in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, some local tea merchants are a bit dishonest. I'm afraid they want to..."
Zheng Yueru smiled faintly: "There is no need to report this kind of thing to me in the future. Remember, commerce and trade are sometimes more cruel than the battlefield. Wherever we go, we will affect the interests of many people. This is true for tea, and it is also true for others. Some It’s normal for people who don’t like us to want to kill us.”
The crowd was silent.
Zheng Yueru chuckled: "If someone who wants to do big things has to be afraid of this every day, how can he carry out his work?"
A group of people gasped.
The next day.
A piece of news about Jing Chu began to spread wildly.
A few dishonest tea merchants spent a lot of money to hire a few Jianghu wanderers, who died of diarrhea in the inn that night.
? ? ?
A group of people were frightened.
Can you die from diarrhea?
Ever since Long Yan had Liu Shilang, everything seemed to be normal.
…
The 50,000-strong army finally set off.
As mentioned before, generally speaking, the actual combat troops of the so-called 50,000-strong army are estimated to be only 40,000, because there are still 10,000 who are responsible for logistics support, etc.
But with this 40,000-strong army, Pu Zhengyong played vigorously.
Stop at every turn and practice with the whole army!
Huhuhaha.
This "general" is simply majestic.
"Hahahaha, have fun!"
Along the way, this guy seemed to have regarded Liu Zheng as his confidant, and he was hooking up with Liu Zheng in various ways.
"Don't worry, Minister Liu. When you go to Li Dynasty, I will definitely arrange for you a real Li Dynasty beauty!"
"Hahahahaha, why not Liu Shilang and stay in the Li Dynasty? With these 50,000 troops, who are you afraid of?"
"By the way, I must introduce you to Zhang Zhaoyi, absolutely! She is now in the Li Dynasty, but she is a famous person..."
In just a few days, Zhang Yuzhen has been promoted to Zhaoyi, and this speed can be regarded as shocking.
Liu Zheng chuckled.
Pu Zhengyong took a sip of wine and then whispered: "Servant Liu, when is the right time to take action regarding the eldest princess?"
Liu Zheng was shocked and whispered: "Master Pu, are you sure it's appropriate for me to do this?"
Pu Zhengyong narrowed his eyes slightly.
Liu Zheng also laughed.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
It seems that Longyan's Liu Shilang is not stupid... In fact, this was the thunder that Zhang Zhaoyi wanted to plant. After all, Lee Hyuna was the eldest princess of the Lee Dynasty. If she was killed on the way, and Queen Inkyung was still in the throne, someone would definitely take the blame when she got angry.
By then, they would use Long Yan's 50,000-strong army.
Then Liu Shilang will also be left in the Li Dynasty.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Liu Zheng looked deeply at Pu Zhengyong, and finally a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Master Pu, it seems that you and I still can't tell our hearts to each other..."
Park Zhengyong panicked.
"No, no, no, Master Liu, Master Liu..."
He looked around and sighed deeply: "We really don't know about this matter. It was Empress Zhang who told us..."
Liu Zheng sneered and asked: "Which force between her and Long Yan is closer?"
Want to kill two birds with one stone?
Old noble?
Or a scholar-official?
It seems that no matter where I go, I can't get rid of the internal strife within Long Yan.
Park Zhengyong hesitated.
Liu Zheng kept looking at him.
Good guy.
The "general" has been fooled by you, and you still haven't told me where is the confidant I promised you?
at last.
Pu Zhengyong took a deep breath: "The leader of the Southern People's Party is Li Zhenzhu. When he was young, during the exchanges between the two countries, he served as an official in your Beijing University, and once served as an official at the Hanlin Academy!"
Liu Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank.
