I'm a marquis in Datang

"Once all these people leave, Du Qi's No. [-] tea in the world will definitely be affected, or even paralyzed. Why, not only Du Qi's tea shop has no influence, but it can hold you back."

"Even, the number one tea in the world is still the same."

Li Jiancheng said: "Cai Bida, please tell the prince, what is the reason?"

Cai Bida already had a draft in his mind, and explained: "His Royal Highness, Du Qi's No. [-] tea in the world, since its establishment, there have been two systems to supply tea."

"One system is a group of people headed by me. In addition, there is another system headed by Cai Youde. This Cai Youde is the businessman who supplied tea to Yin's tea shop in the past."

"Now, do things for Du Qi."

"As soon as my people left, Du Qi immediately recruited Cai Youde's people to fill them up. The people under Cai Youde's command are all helpless.

The artisans who are more familiar with tea making, so after we left, Du Qi's tea shop was basically unaffected. "

Cai Bida solemnly said: "As far as I know, in order to stabilize the tea shop, Du Qi raised the wages of all the tea shop employees. In addition, Du Qi promised to give a sum of money to all the shopkeepers and others as dividends at the end of the year. That's why Du Qi stabilized the situation."

Li Jiancheng's cheeks twitched constantly.

His eyes were very angry.

He didn't think of his various schemes, even Li Yuanji personally came back from the front to advise him, and even instigated Cai Bida's wife, but the final scheme was in vain.

This is Li Jiancheng's anger.

Cai Bida was below, and when he saw Li Jiancheng's expression, he felt even more disturbed.

He worries about being dealt with.

Wei Zheng sat below, but he could also see Cai Bida's uneasiness and worry.Wei Zheng knew very well that the matter had come to this point, and he had no choice but to trust Cai Bida.Because abolishing Cai Bida at this time is tantamount to cutting off his own arm, and he has no one who can replace Cai Bida.

Wei Zheng was sitting on the side, and he said: "Cai Bida, you came to the East Palace, is it possible that you are here to complain. If so, there is no need. His Royal Highness uses you and gives you many benefits. It is for you to solve the problem. .”

Li Jiancheng glanced at Wei Zheng approvingly, and asked, "Cai Bida, tell me, what is the solution to the current predicament?"

"Have!"

Cai Bida replied immediately.

Since he came, of course he couldn't just cry and tell the reason, otherwise it would be difficult to make a deal.The reason why he cried was to explain clearly the reason for the poor business of No. [-] Tea House, and to let Li Jiancheng know that it was not because he was incompetent, but because Du Qi was too cunning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't cry.

Li Jiancheng said: "Tell me about your method."

Cai Bida replied: "Reporting to His Royal Highness, the current decadent situation must be reversed. I believe that there are three things to be done at the moment, which will definitely open up the business route of the No. [-] tea house and obtain a large number of orders."

Li Jiancheng became interested and asked, "Shopkeeper Cai, tell me carefully, what are the three things?"

Cai Bida said: "The first thing, I implore His Royal Highness, to write an inscription for the No. [-] tea house. Du Qi's No. [-] tea in the world was inscribed by the King of Qin, so many people have preconceptions and think that Du Qi's tea is good."

"Du Qi's restaurant not only has an inscription written by the King of Qin, but even His Majesty went there. So Du Qi's restaurant is extremely popular. And our No. [-] tea house has nothing."

"In this way, in terms of reputation alone, Du Qi's tea shop is much worse."

Cai Bida said: "His Royal Highness, please write an inscription for the tea house. As long as the tea house has His Royal Highness' calligraphy and hangs it after mounting, our No. [-] Tea House can take advantage of the situation and make many people recognize No. [-] Tea House tea."

"Du Qi's No. [-] tea in the world was approved by the King of Qin. Our No. [-] tea house was approved by His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is above the King of Qin and is the Crown Prince of the country. Even His Royal Highness recognized it, so there must be countless people." approval."

"In this way, tea must be marketed."

Cai Bida looked confident and said, "This is the first thing the villain does."

After hearing this, Li Jiancheng nodded slightly.

That's good advice.

He Li Shimin can open eyes for Du Qi himself, why can't he support Cai Bida.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, what do you think of Cai's suggestion?"

Wei Zheng thought for a while, then said: "Your Highness, what Cai Bida said has some truth. After all, many officials in the court are willing to buy the tea leaves of the best tea in the world because King Qin opened eyes for Du Qi. If His Highness, personally Write an inscription for the No. [-] Tea House, then there must be countless officials who also went to buy the tea from the No. [-] Tea House.”

Hearing Wei Zheng's analysis, Li Jiancheng nodded in approval and said, "That's the truth, what Xuan Cheng said is true."

He also agrees.

After all, Li Jiancheng was the prince of the country in the court, and there were countless officials who belonged to his faction.once his name

The first tea house opened in the next day, and the officials who originally wanted to drink tea will definitely go to buy tea.

Wei Zheng thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Treasurer Cai, although His Royal Highness is willing to open your eyes for you, but in the end, you have to be hard to forge the iron. If the tea leaves from the No. [-] tea house and the No. [-] tea in the world have different tastes There is a huge difference, there is no way. At least, the taste must have its own merits, and it must not be weaker than the best tea in the world."

When Cai Bida heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "His Royal Highness, Wei Xima, the taste of tea is actually very simple. I happened to bring two boxes of tea today. One box is for people I bought it from No. [-] Tea in the World; the other box is our own, please His Royal Highness and Wei Xima to taste it."

"it is good!"

A look of anticipation flashed in Li Jiancheng's eyes, he nodded and said, "It's a mule or a horse, you'll know if you take a walk."

He ordered it immediately.

Immediately, someone prepared tea bowls and boiling water and brought them to Cai Bida.

Chapter 146: The Lesser of Two Evils

Two evils, whichever is less

After the two tea bowls were placed, Cai Bida first took out the tea leaves from the No. [-] tea house and placed them in the tea bowls for brewing.Immediately, Cai Bida took out the tea leaves of No. [-] Tea in the World, also took out a little and put it in a tea bowl for brewing.

Two kinds of tea, brewed quickly.

Immediately, Cai Bida poured out the tea of ​​the two kinds of tea, and brought them in front of Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng, asking Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng to evaluate them.

Cai Bida had an expectant look on his face, and said: "His Royal Highness, Wei Xima, please!"

Li Jiancheng first picked up the tea from the No. [-] tea house and took a sip.This sip of tea rolled in the throat and finally entered the stomach. The taste of the tea diffused through the taste buds, which was very good.

Li Jiancheng nodded slightly.

He has drunk the tea leaves of No. [-] tea in the world, and he knows the taste of No. [-] tea in the world.The taste of No. [-] tea in the world is generally better, but it is not good enough.

Immediately, Li Jiancheng took another sip of tea from the best tea in the world.

Comparing the two tea soups, Li Jiancheng recollected them carefully again.The tea leaves of the best tea in the world still have a slight advantage, but in fact, if you don't taste it carefully, if you are not a regular tea drinker, the subtle differences between the tea leaves

The gap cannot be discerned at all, after all, the gap is simply insignificant.

Wei Zheng also commented.
