Chapter 100 Wine Moves Chang'an
The seven-day marriage period passed in a flash, and finally the day when Sun got married. According to Sun's plan, he asked the Tang family to come to pick her up at dusk and the family had a meal to get to know each other. There was no need to be too grand. During the Tang Dynasty, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism had not yet flourished. The concept of marriage was still very open, and getting married, divorce, remarrying, and remarrying were all very normal. But Sun still felt embarrassed. After all, it was a second marriage, and his son was so old that he didn't want to have a big fuck.
But after all, this was the emperor's marriage, so it was impossible to be low-key. Moreover, Tang Jian attached great importance to this marriage, but he did not think about low-key. Tang Jian knew that many people criticized him for marrying a commoner woman, but he wanted to let those people see how much he attached to Mrs. Xuxian. Tang Jian has been politely quarreling with others for so many years, which has created the illusion that he is a good man who can talk about it casually. Tang Jian was about to use this matter to remind those who dare to criticize him, and to let people all over the world see what kind of power he is in this court.
Li Mu struggled for several days in his heart, but finally did not attend the wedding. Although this was a very normal thing during the Tang Dynasty, he could not overcome the hurdle in his heart. For a person with later generations, the matter of getting married was too embarrassing. Although Li Mu did not go, he asked Li Chongyi to drive a ox cart to deliver a hundred jars of wine brewed in the winery, and specifically told Li Chongyi to tell Tang Jian not to tell anyone where the wine came from. He knew that Li Shimin would be at the banquet, so he had already made up his mind. Although Tang Jian could also make a name for the wine, he never said it from Li Shimin.
Tang Jian opened a hundred tables and the water feast was placed on the street. All the nobles and families in Chang'an City were present to congratulate him. He became famous in three cups. Even those who didn't like to drink strong wine were surprised at its clarity. They asked about the source of the wine, and all the servants of the Tang family received the ban order, but no one leaked it. But unfortunately, the news was not told from Li Shimin. Li Mu calculated it for a long time and forgot the evil star Cheng Yaojin. According to Li Bi's retelling, Yuchi Jingde asked about the source of the wine. When Li Shimin was about to speak, Cheng Yaojin said it in a bamboo tube like a bean, which made Li Mu's plan completely fail.
However, the effect was not bad. The nobles and nobles who attended the wedding knew that the wine business was a joint deal between Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu and Li Siwen, Li Ji's second son. After asking again, they learned about the Bashang wine shop. That night, someone moved and came to buy it. When Li Mu and Li Bi arrived the next day, the long dragon at the entrance of the wine shop had already flowed out three miles away, hundreds of cattle, horses and vehicles were blocked at the door, and it took a lot of time to enter.
The high price of three guan and one jar cannot stop the enthusiasm for purchases. The inventory for a few days was swept away before noon, which was a result of limiting the purchase of up to ten jars per customer. Even so, there were still many people who did not buy wine blocked at the door and refused to leave. Li Mu was forced to no avail and suddenly remembered the scene when he bought a mobile phone in his previous life. He proposed a "full pre-sale" method to solve the problem. After all the buyers were sent away, the pre-sale had been scheduled for two months. These were basically orders in Chang'an City. The merchants outside Chang'an City were not so well-informed and did not come for a while.
Since it is a full pre-sale, with the signature of the Duke of Cao's Mansion as a guarantee, there is no need to worry about being cheated. All the money is given. With copper and silver, it is piled on the ground in a hurry. There are several cars, and it looks like a hill from a distance. Huang Qi calculated for three hours before he could figure out all the accounts clearly. He was so shocked that he said, "The spot and pre-sale orders sold today are 31,700 guan!"
"Oh my God!" Li Bi screamed in shock. Bai Naoer was completely confused. Only Li Mu was normal because he had expected it in his heart, but even so, it was the first time he had made so much money. This feeling of getting rich made his fingers tremble.
Li Mu took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said to Li Bi: "Second Uncle, I have something I want to say, but I'm a little embarrassed."
"Say!" Li Bi was now convinced by Li Mu a hundred times. No matter what he said, it sounded comfortable.
Li Mu said: "Uncle Second, you know that I don't have much money. The current expenses in the government are not small, and I plan to do some other business, so I want to withdraw 10,000 guan first, and I think it's a dividend in advance, and I don't know..."
"Oh! What do I think of it!" Li Bi said: "You made this money, just use it if you want it! Besides, why didn't you tell me about it earlier when you are short of money? Are you right?"
Li Mu laughed, he was not a person who likes to borrow money.
Li Bi immediately asked someone to order money, and according to Li Mu's request, he picked up the silver and counted it for him. Bai Naoer looked at him with a slight gaze and whispered: "Son-in-law, my half-finish..."
Li Mu looked at him and said, "Does the father-in-law have no money?"
"It's a little bit..."
"Then follow the rules and settle the year base."
Bai Naoer's open mouth immediately closed. He didn't dare to provoke Li Mu at first. Seeing that he had made so much money in one day, he didn't dare to provoke him, for fear that Li Mu would change his position and that his half-achievement would be gone by then.
After a while, the calculation was completed, Li Mu asked Li Chongyi to move all the money to the carriage. Before leaving, he said to Li Bi: "Second uncle, I have to be busy with some things today. There will definitely be less coming from this winery, so I will be more troubled with my second uncle. There are two things to tell me, first, never relax the quality. Before shipment, you must check it repeatedly and not smash the signboard. Furthermore, no matter how many people are looking for purchases or what their identity is, you must come in order. Do not increase the price. No matter how good the business is, the rules cannot change."
"Don't worry, I'll live here in the past few days."
Li Mu nodded, thought for a moment, there was nothing to give in, and then took his entourage home. He wanted to rush to the Ministry of Works before closing the door, because there was something to do tomorrow.
After several days of careful research, Li Yuan had already chosen the location for business and set it in Chongrenfang east of the imperial city, next to the Taimiao. After coming out of Jingfengmen, the east gate of the imperial city, less than a hundred meters, it was the place chosen by Li Yuan. It was originally a villa that Li Shimin gave to Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian. After Li Yuan was attracted by Li Yuan, he was demolished. As a doctor in the Ministry of Works, Li Mu naturally had no choice but to summon craftsmen to demolish them tomorrow.
Except for reporting that he went to the Ministry of Works once that day, Li Mu never visited any of these days. Li Daliang did not expect Li Mu, the airborne marquis, to work, so he did not send anyone to summon him. He left everything to his deputy craftsman, Yuwen Gui, to do it.
