Chapter 592: The Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the Little God of Wealth (4)

First, he used the warm water handed over by Yang Yuxin to put the dry milk powder in his mouth into his stomach, and then asked the palace maid to pour the boiling water into the cup containing the milk powder. Li Chengqian took a cup casually and sipped it slowly. At the same time, he said to everyone: "Come on, uncles, try how this milk powder tastes."

As for Mr. Cheng... Ignore him. This guy held a glass jar containing milk powder and put it into his mouth, and the food was so refreshing.

"Well, this tastes really good, but it's a little different from normal milk products." Du Ruhui sipped and smacked his lips.

The old guy was poisoned by heavy metals and drank milk for about a month. Later, he developed a habit and felt uncomfortable if he didn't drink it for a day. So as soon as the milk powder was in his mouth, he immediately felt the difference from fresh milk.

"This milk powder is made of dry, and the raw materials are fresh milk or goat milk. However, because it has gone through many processes, the taste will be different from fresh milk." Li Chengqian slowly drank one of his cups, and then asked Yang Yuxin to take out a bottle again. When he saw who had drunk it, he would simmer another cup for whom.

After everyone had almost finished drinking, Li Chengqian said slowly: "As for wool, I think felt can be used as a low-end product. This is what meets the needs of ordinary herdsmen on the grassland. It depends on sales, not unit price, so don't forget it in this regard, it really doesn't cost much."

"In addition, we have a mid-range product." Li Chengqian waved to Ye Mei and Yang Yuxin behind him, asking them to take out the woolen materials, woolen coats, woolen tops and other items prepared in advance.

"What is this? It looks very good." He was chewing dry milk powder in his mouth, but he couldn't block Cheng's mouth. When the old man saw that there was something new, he immediately came to his mind.

"This is called wool-grain, which is a thick cloth that can be made into clothes. It is good to use it to prevent cold in winter." Li Chengqian briefly introduced the wool-grain material and then said: "This thing is for some people with better conditions. One piece is also four feet long and three feet wide, but the price is ten times that of felt."

Ten times? A piece of such fabric will be sold for Qiguan? You must know that Qiguan is enough to buy a good white cotton cloth, but now this material will be sold for Qiguan, which is simply a sky-high price.

After all, the raw material of white cotton cloth is white stack, and the price of that thing is absolutely incomparable to the wool made from the wool, and the price is hundreds of times different.

Now everyone was in a state of mind. Even Cheng Yaojing put the milk powder bottle aside and listened carefully.

"Is Qiguan a little expensive?" Qin Qiong was an honest person after all. He felt that some useless wool made of Qiguan was a little unacceptable.

"I think it's good. How can it show nobility if it's not expensive? Anyway, as long as I don't tell them what this thing is made, they won't feel that there is anything wrong with selling it for 70 stakes."

"But the people of the Tang Dynasty can't afford it."

"Didn't you hear that guy say that this thing is not for ordinary people, so what does it matter whether ordinary people can afford it?"

The fierce quarrels spread from Li Chengqian's tent to the outside, which attracted many people to stop and listen, but they were soon driven away by the guards guarding outside.

"Everyone, uncles and uncles." Seeing that the scene became more and more chaotic, Li Chengqian had to stand up and suppress everyone's emotions: "Uncles and uncles, please don't forget the issue of tariffs. The prices of things in the Tang Dynasty and outside the territory are different."

"Why?" Cheng Yaojin asked blankly.

"Because of taxation," Li Chengqian replied seriously: "These things are restricted from the Tang Dynasty, which means that these subscriptions can only be sold within the Tang Dynasty. If you want to ship them out, you must accept high tariffs."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, isn't the tariff collected by the other party? Why did we collect it ourselves?" Fang Xuanling quickly reacted and found the loophole in Li Chengqian's words.

"Uncle Fang, you are talking about import tax, and I am talking about export tax." Li Chengqian smiled lightly, took the woolen coat from Yang Yuxin and put it on his legs and rubbed it gently: "This thing is not easy to make. It is not popular in the Tang Dynasty. How can it be transported so easily? So this thing is worth up to 500 cigarettes per piece in the Tang Dynasty. But if you want to export it, you can't do it if you don't have a copper coin."

"Okay, good boy, this price is set, old Cheng admires it." Old Man Cheng couldn't understand any import tax and export tax, but he just felt that what Li Chengqian said was quite high-end and a little unaware of it.

"Uncle Cheng, don't you think the more expensive things are, the more people buy them? If we sell this material cheaper, maybe no one will buy it." Li Chengqian said it very plainly, but it feels like it penetrates the world.

"If there is cheap, no one will buy it?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Chengqian with a strange look. This was the first time he heard of this statement.

"Of course, just think about it. Uncle Cheng thinks that this kind of felt on your house would be covered with the floor?" Li Chengqian nodded and asked at the rough felt on the ground.

"No." Old Cheng Datou shook his head and thought for a while and said, "If there is a very soft carpet like you, Old Cheng Dao wants to lay a piece at home."

"That kind of carpet is not cheap. If you want to cover this tent, you will definitely not be able to do it." Li Chengqian said to Lao Cheng seriously.

"Two thousand guan?" Old Cheng said with bull-eyed bosses, licking his lips, "No one is cheaper?"

"No, it's the price." Li Chengqian laughed and shook his head, and said after a while: "But if uncle wants it, my nephew can give you a few dollars."

"Then let's make up. When the spring hunting is over, I will send a hundred handfuls and ten yuan to Lao Cheng's family."

"Don't make trouble when you know the truth." Qin Qiong heard Cheng Yaojin's words become less and less sarcastic, and couldn't help but scold him.

It costs 2,000 guan to cover a tent. If these 100 guan, what is the price? Qin Qiong reads very little, but he didn't understand it after a long time.

As a result, Cheng Yaojinli didn't listen to Qin Qiong at all. Instead, he said with confidence: "Don't want such a valuable thing for nothing. I said, "Second brother, how many dollars should this kid give you?"

"Haha... Zhijie, Your Highness is joking with you." Du Ruhui listened for a long time and finally understood what Li Chengqian meant:

The higher the value of things, the more it will attract the possessiveness of some powerful people. When this desire arises, whether it is to buy, grab or ask for it, this kind of thing will appear in the homes of powerful people. Then for the Tang Dynasty, it is equivalent to selling it. In any case, no one dares to steal Li Chengqian's things, and no one outside the domain dares to steal big things.

As for those Hu merchants who transported goods back and forth... whether they were robbed seemed to have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.
