Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

Standing outside the shop, Ling Jingxuan rubbed his chin and looked at the empty gate. If Ling's Brewing is done well, it should soon be able to seize the market and become the only brewing shop in the Qing Dynasty. With the capital as the center, every state capital of the Qing Dynasty was quickly covered, and together with the winery that Ling Jingpeng started to open based on the countryside, the business foundation of the Ling family was basically laid.

"I was wondering if that was your idea."

Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help admiring him. At that time, he was just a fledgling country boy, and he didn't expect his ambition to be so big.

"If we don't do it, we don't do it. If we do it, we must do our best. Brother Han, in the future, we will not sell the jam in the big altar except for Xinyuan. All of them will be sold in exquisite small jars. They are all replaced by a jar of ten catties, and can also be retailed, but customers need to bring their own jars to make wine, and the same goes for fruit vinegar. As for wine, there is a limited time and limited purchase. On the first day of opening, we took out 500 jars of wine to fight the front line , each person is limited to buy one pot, these two days can be advertised, and in the future, it will sell up to twenty pots a day, no matter how big the official is, don't break this principle, if something happens, go to Liu Ye, he knows what to do Put it right, rare things are more expensive, wine is one of our Ling's signatures, and we want to turn it into a high-end luxury item."

Everything should pay attention to the brand effect and novelty, if it is too flooded, it will only make their wine flooded like Chinese cabbage on the street, and the price will naturally not be able to sell.

"Then how do we set the right price?"

In the past, they were exclusively for Xinyuan, and they had never been sold to outsiders. The retail price must not be comparable to Xinyuan's bulk purchases. Ling Jingxuan thought for a while, and then took them into the shop: "We are like this, Xinyuan's The purchase price remains unchanged. The small jars of jam they sell are five taels of silver a jar. We also follow this price. The sorghum liquor sold in the middle market is set at ten yuan a catty. After the market is occupied by us, we can also increase the price by producing a premium version. There is no shortage of people pretending to be bī in any place. There are also people who buy it. Yangmei wine is a medium-to-high-end route, one or two silver per catty. Within a month of opening, the whole vat will be bought with a 10% discount. The wine that Liu Ye sold to the capital last year was 1,000 taels of silver per jar, but because he sent it to the imperial palace, this cannot be compared, let’s just let it be 800 taels of silver per jar, except for the daily limited amount of wine, other people buy it in large quantities Yes, we can also make it a little cheaper, but not too much, lest some people will be jealous and buy from us at a low price, and the low price will hit us."

"Can it be so expensive?" The price quoted by Ling Jingxuan far exceeded their imagination. The sorghum wine was okay, not to mention the wine. Why is fruit vinegar so expensive?

"Is it expensive? Brother Han, you can't use the consumption level of the countryside to measure it. The prices in the capital are high, and everything is expensive. I think the price of sorghum wine is too low. Isn't this to quickly seize the market?"

Can the consumption level of Datong Town compare with that of Beijing? Compared to Han Fei's worries, Ling Jingxuan was quite confident.

"I agree with what Jingxuan said, not to mention the capital city, even the different prefectures and counties, the consumption level is not comparable to that of Datong Town. Look at Xinyuan, it costs a few taels of silver to serve any dish. What they eat is not vegetables. , but to save face, but Xinyuan's business is only for the rich. The reason why Jingxuan set the prices of red bayberry wine and jam so high, and the price of fruit vinegar sorghum wine so low, is to take all the high, medium and low routes. Rich people can buy wine if they want to save face, and those who have no money can buy sorghum wine if they want to try something new. After they have a taste, I am afraid they will all become our loyal customers."

After all, shopkeeper Zhang has worked as a shopkeeper for so many years, so he has a longer-term view and a wider vision than Han Fei and the others. In addition, he is very familiar with the products produced by the Ling family, so he is very confident.

"That's right, I'm sorry, although we have all arrived in the capital, I still don't have a sense of reality in my heart."

After they said it, Han Fei rarely scratched his head in embarrassment, and Zhao Dalong on the side also smirked. A year ago, who of them would have thought that today they could stand at the foot of the emperor, the capital of the imperial city?

"Hehe... Brother Han, don't be embarrassed, I'm not used to it, no matter how prosperous the capital is, our Lingjia Village is not as beautiful as it is, right? When the children grow up, we will leave all the business to them, Let's go back to Lingjia Village to retire together."

The business was almost done, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help joking, but he really planned to go back to take care of the elderly. As for whether he would go back to Ling's Village, it was not certain, after all, he was a married person, so he should take his It doesn't matter to Jingpeng and his wife that they are all taken away. What if their offspring are unhappy? Why make the whole family miserable? Moreover, his prince still has a palace in Cangzhou, so it's not like he has no place to live.

"Well, that's good, we made an agreement to go back together in the future."

It can be seen that Han Fei misses Lingjia Village very much. Although it has brought them a lot of helplessness and pain, it is also the place where they were born and raised.

"Well, shopkeeper Zhang, I will trouble you about the decoration, custom-made shelf plaques, and hiring a buddy. Brother Han, tomorrow, you can go and see where the kiln pots are good, and find a reliable long-term cooperation. Let's make a small pot, Brother Zhao, your reward has not come down yet, and I didn't even bother to ask Sheng Rui about it. I don't know exactly what reward will be given to you, whether you will have a military position or something. These days You can help Brother Han and shopkeeper Zhang for the time being, but tomorrow I will build a yard dedicated to blacksmithing in the palace, and I need you to help me get a batch of precision equipment."

Farewell to Zhao Dalong

He doesn't have the ability to blacksmith, but he is really good at blacksmithing. He can make any small thing, and it is almost the same as his requirements. Who else can make the equipment needed by the hospital?

"Um"

Zhao Dalong has never talked much. What he didn't say was that even if the emperor gave him a military position, he didn't intend to accept it. It wasn't that he had no ambition, but that he wanted to learn more from Jingxuan. Just teaching others how to refine fine steel and iron, etc., is equivalent to letting him stay where he is. Everyone, including the six-year-old son, is making progress, so how can he stay where he is? "Well, then let's go back, it's the same when we start tomorrow."

After speaking, Ling Jingxuan stood up, and the group explained a few words to the old man guarding the yard, and walked towards the two carriages waiting not far away, and then they went to see the row of shops belonging to Princess Huajun, for some reason , the entire row of nearly twenty shops was not put into use, and all of them were left there. In the bustling East Street, it is basically a very extravagant and wasteful thing. After actually seeing the shop, Ling Jingxuan also had to I admire Zeng Shaoqing's vision. Indeed, this row of shops is very suitable for setting up a hospital. The lighting is good, the environment is good, and the location is good. For this reason, Ling Jingxuan secretly decided to find a way to win the shop no matter what.

Chapter 276 Empress Dowager, Concubine Yun

Fuling Palace, the empress dowager's bedroom.

"bump!"

"What a Princess Sheng, even the Ai family dares to kill at will!"

With a slap on the armrest of the chair, the queen mother was trembling with anger, and the corners of her mouth smeared with Kou juice couldn't help twitching. She said why the person sent to summon Prince Sheng's son never came back, unexpectedly? ? The farmer in the country killed the eunuch in her palace and failed, but Yan Shengrui actually sent her back with his bloody body and the rest of them, and he insisted that those were false decrees, otherwise he would have a good reputation How could she not wait to see her daughter-in-law? For this reason, not only could he not get angry, but he also ordered people to kill the rest of the people in front of Yan Yi who sent them back, praised the farmer by the way, and gave him many rewards. I couldn't bear the anger that filled my heart any longer.

"Go, bring the concubine to Ai's family. Ai's family wants to show her how vicious her daughter-in-law is, a rebellious evildoer. Ai's family won't believe it. She, a decent mother-in-law, really doesn't care."

The queen mother was so angry that no one dared to disobey her since her son became the emperor. Even when she was the queen, few people dared to challenge her authority so blatantly. A farmer from the countryside resisted It doesn't matter if the order is disrespectful, but anyone who dares to kill her at will, does he still have her as the Queen Mother in his eyes?

"Your Majesty calm down, can you listen to this servant?"

The old nanny who was waiting by her side raised her hand and waved away the palace servants. She stepped forward to support the queen mother and gently patted her on the back. She was Qiuzhu, the maid who was married into the palace by the queen mother back then, and now she is the oldest in Fuling Palace. Mother Qiu, the Queen Mother trusts her very much, her words are more effective in the ears of the Queen Mother than the emperor. Under his comfort, the Queen Mother calmed down a little bit, but she was still furious.
