Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Seeing the astonished expressions on their faces, Fang Zheng Yi continued to elaborate:

“Come, come, let me, your official, tell you some business principles!”

“A catty costs a hundred taels to buy, but when you get to the capital, shouldn't you sell it for two hundred taels?”

“Regardless of whether anyone buys it or not, first establish a product positioning!”

“Just say that our tea is grown in the best golden location, with eight hours of sunshine every day! Every acre of land is taken care of by someone special!”

“There are natural hot springs next to the tea garden, and gold mines underground. The tea-picking girls are all as beautiful as celestial beings, and they are all virgins with talents in both poetry and painting. They pick tea with their tongues, and recite a poem for every tea leaf they pick!”

“In addition, it is best to order a batch of exquisite porcelain boxes from this county, each box containing half a tael of tea, and give it a name, let's call it Small Box Tea for now!”

“When selling, say that only princes and nobles are qualified to drink this tea. If you don't drink it in the court, are you even considered a person? Do you still want to hang around in the circle?”

“What is a noble, do you know? Nobles buy the most expensive things, not the best!”

“So, our Taoyuan County's slogan is: Don't strive for the best! Strive for the most expensive!”

Eunuch Guo covered his face in shame.

He thought that after decades in the palace, he could be considered resourceful.

Only after seeing Fang Zheng Yi today did he realize that to be a dog, you still have to be you!

Indeed, learning is endless!

Emperor Jing was silent, vaguely feeling that he had turned into a lush green leek.

Could it be that the palace's purchases are all deceived like this...?

Seeing the two of them deep in thought, Fang Zheng Yi smiled with satisfaction. He had once again spread advanced market concepts to the lost sheep, merit +2.

Just as the three of them were silent, dishes began to be continuously delivered upstairs.

To show his importance, Zhang Lao Liu personally brought the dishes upstairs.

“Hahaha, chicken soup is here!”

The chicken soup was placed on the table, and the heat rose in curls. It looked like it had been stewed for a while, the soup was white and the meat was tender.

“Come, drink the soup first. It’s a great thing that you two came to my Taoyuan County to drink chicken soup after a difficult journey!”

Fang Zheng Yi first served Emperor Jing a bowl of chicken soup and dug out a chicken leg.

Then he served himself a bowl and dug out a chicken leg.

Finally, he served Guo Tianyang a bowl and dug out a chicken breast.

Guo Tianyang gave Fang Zheng Yi a resentful look.

This dog is really serving dishes according to the person.

Fang Zheng Yi saw it, but didn't take it seriously. Anyway, the one in front of him is the main character. You're just a follower acting so much. It's good to have meat to eat, why are you talking so sarcastically!

“I wonder if you two are interested in this tea? Although the porcelain in my Taoyuan County is good, it is not unique in the world.”

“The profit from selling tea is much higher than that of porcelain, and it is easy to transport, and there will be no loss on the road.”

Emperor Jing drank the soup and nodded with satisfaction.

The soup was fresh and delicious, and the chicken was soft and tender. It was another delicacy he had never eaten in the palace.

“Magistrate Fang, I don’t know what this tea is called?”

Hmm... Fang Zheng Yi hadn't really thought about this. Frying tea has only recently become popular in the county.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Zheng Yi said with a cheeky face.

“Ah, this tea, if taken for a long time, can strengthen the kidneys, benefit qi, and prolong life, so it's called... Grand Grade Celestial Tea! Yes, that's right!”

You're making it up on the spot, aren't you! Guo Tianyang's old face turned red.

“To be honest, the two of us didn't bring too much money with us, so I'm afraid we can't take much tea.”

“How much did you bring?”

“Two thousand taels.”

As expected of someone who deals in porcelain, carrying two thousand taels with them! Not bad!

Fang Zheng Yi became slightly excited: “It doesn't matter! Take as much as you want. Initial sales also need to open up the market. If it's not enough, come to Taoyuan County to purchase at any time!”

“Come, try our Taoyuan wine again.”

With that, Fang Zheng Yi poured another glass of wine for the two of them.

Emperor Jing naturally didn't refuse, but as soon as the wine entered his mouth, his expression changed drastically: “Peach Blossom Fan?”

Fang Zheng Yi smiled and said: “That's right! It is Peach Blossom Fan Wine.”

“This wine is the pillar industry of our Taoyuan County. The county can have what it is today thanks to Peach Blossom Fan Wine.”

“The next batch of wine has not yet been brewed, I believe it is already hard to find a cup in the capital!”

Emperor Jing's face suddenly became uncertain, and Guo Tianyang also looked at him.

This Peach Blossom Fan Wine is famous for its strength. Da Jing is full of martial spirit, and men are proud of their large alcohol capacity. It is simply popular in the capital.

Emperor Jing, who loves strong alcohol, specially listed this wine as a tribute.

But the most important thing is not the wine!

Emperor Jing put down his wine glass, his expression calm: “I heard that this wine is the property of Prince Wu, could it be that Taoyuan County is backed by Prince Wu?”

“No, no! This Peach Blossom Fan has always been the property of Taoyuan County, but it does have some trade relations with Prince Wu.”

“Some years ago, people from Prince Wu's mansion happened to come here and discovered this Peach Blossom Fan Wine, so we signed an exclusive sales contract.”

“Hehe, now Prince Wu can be said to be making a lot of money.”

Fang Zheng Yi was happy to pull the tiger's skin to flaunt his power.

Originally, he also wanted to cooperate with the people from Prince Wu's mansion to export the tea.

But after thinking about it, he still gave up. Taoyuan County's products cannot be controlled by one family. In the future, the sales channels will be opened up.

Wouldn't that be strangled by the throat?

We must try to spread out this network of distributors as much as possible. The more people Taoyuan County pulls in, the more stable his position will be.

Many of those who do porcelain business in the capital have backgrounds, and he doesn't care which group this Li Long is from.

As long as it's not Prince Wu and the Emperor's side, it's fine!

Emperor Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Wu is a well-known idle prince in the capital.

It turned out that he accidentally got involved with Taoyuan County, no wonder he spends money like water every day....

“I wonder if Prince Wu has ever been to Taoyuan County?”

Fang Zheng Yi waved his hand, with a look of disgust: “Never been here, it's always the steward who comes to trade.”

This is also the second reason why he doesn't want to cooperate with Prince Wu. This person has no ambition and no enterprising spirit.

In the early days, if Taoyuan County hadn't been short of money and people, it wouldn't have cooperated with such a master.

Later, Fang Zheng Yi also specially sent people to the capital to explore the market.

The sales of Peach Blossom Fan basically rely on natural traffic, and the market reputation has risen. Prince Wu's side has not made any efforts.

If Peach Blossom Fan wasn't a monopolistic product and the quality was excellent, I'm afraid it would have failed directly.

I was dizzy at the beginning and wanted to find a big backer, but I didn't expect it to be a useless piece of iron!

I also signed an exclusive agreement, so this wave of business is a loss.

But even so, Peach Blossom Fan can still provide huge profits every year, which can make the lives of the people in the county more prosperous.

But now that the life of Taoyuan County is getting better and better, the people's growing material needs are pushing Fang Zheng Yi to continue to broaden sales channels.

This tea! It is the second item to be sold, and it is definitely non-exclusive.

“So that's how it is, Taoyuan County is indeed very powerful! It seems that I have to cooperate with Magistrate Fang!” Emperor Jing said with a smile, “I wonder where the tea garden is, we can go and see it tomorrow before making a decision.”

Fang Zheng Yi smiled shyly: “Commercial secret, I can't tell you!”

See? See my ass!

Where did the tea garden come from! They are all fresh tea from Hengjiang Prefecture, cheap tea at four catties for one qian, add some cheap medicinal materials and stir-fry it, and outsiders can't taste it.

Drinking it fresh is nothing more than being used to drinking tea soup with added ingredients, and it's the first time drinking this kind of fried tea!

Seeing that Fang Zheng Yi's attitude was firm, Emperor Jing didn't entangle too much, raised his wine glass and said: “Alright, I will take a batch of this tea to the capital for trial sales first, and I will rely on Magistrate Fang's care in the future!”

“Easy to say, easy to say!”
