How much was a stone of wheat worth?
At most, it would be a hundred copper coins. Any more, and it would be two hundred copper coins.
But how many bamboo tubes could be filled with ten stones of water?
A few hundred?
A few thousand?
Based on this calculation.
Then …
However, the originally useless wheat had really come back to life!
How much could this malt be sold for?
Ten copper coins?
Perhaps other than Zhang Feng, no one would want to buy it even if they had to pay for it.
Such a good business opportunity instantly made Li Shimin jealous.
"Fengzi, this business, you …"
"Hey, Lao Li, let's make a deal. I'll do this business myself. Besides, you don't know anything and you haven't fully accepted this kind of thing. If you sell it, you'll only lose money! So, after thinking about it, I'll do it myself! "
"No!"
How could Li Shimin be willing?
He hurriedly waved his hand.
"Fengzi, although you're good at doing business, doing business is very difficult! You have to wake up before seven in the morning and may not even be able to sleep at night. Based on your character, how can you bear this? So, how about we cooperate? When the time comes … "
"No, no, no. Now you know how to be anxious?"
Zhang Feng looked at Li Shimin with a faint smile.
"Alright, who asked you to be our Fengzi's good brother? Then let's make a deal! It's just the two of us! We can't have one more person! "
"Fine! Then it's settled. How about this, I have a thousand taels of silver here, and I think there are ten more. Let's take it as a deposit for the cooperation? "
？？？
Zhang Feng was a little confused.
"Good fellow, you always bring so much money when you go out? Aren't you afraid of bandits? "
"I haven't had time to go back yet. After splitting the money with Lord Zhangsun and the others, I came here directly … "
Li Shimin casually evaded.
Then he asked, "By the way, this barbecue …"
"When the time comes, let's do it together. You've seen this thing. It's just a stove, squatting by the roadside. Even if it's opened, the cost is low and the profit is high. Look at these chicken wings. They only cost a few copper coins. But after roasting them, they will become five copper coins!"
Li Shimin frowned.
"So expensive?"
Zhang Feng glared at him.
"This is expensive?"
"Look, there are chickens and ducks all over the streets of Chang 'an City. Even if they are lost, no one will look for them. Why? Wasn't it because of the locusts that all the chickens and ducks were gathered together? In addition, the Emperor heard about my plan from who knows where and actually went to find Tubo to ask for chickens and ducks. This was exactly what I thought. Lao Li, tell me honestly, were you the one who gave Lord Zhangsun the idea? Otherwise, how could the emperor think of such a move? This is clearly my move! "
Li Shimin touched his nose.
"Yes. Didn't I cooperate with Lord Zhangsun on the bone-strengthening powder before? So I mentioned it by the way."
"No wonder. I thought that His Majesty really knew how to make divine plans."
After being reminded by Zhang Feng, how could Li Shimin not understand Zhang Feng's meaning?
He was the one who came up with this idea.
Moreover, he had mentioned it countless times to Zhang Feng as the cost of wine.
Chickens and ducks were really cheap now. Even if they were thrown on the street, no one would steal them.
Why?
On the one hand, it was because everyone was saving food.
The farmers in the fields were all gnawed bare.
Most importantly, even if the Crown Prince forcibly distributed ten chickens and ducks to each household around Chang 'an City, the pressure on the government would be reduced, and the people would be too lazy to care.
Now, chicken eggs and duck eggs were sold on Chang 'an Street for one copper coin each, which was priceless. But now, two eggs were sold for one copper coin each. If you wanted more, you could buy 50 eggs at a time, and people would give you 10 eggs as a gift. .
Even so, the eggs could not be sold until they were rotten.
Everyone had chickens and ducks at home. Who the hell would be stupid enough to buy eggs?
If anyone bought eggs, they would really be laughed at by the people of Chang 'an City.
There must be something wrong with this guy's head.
Or it was squeezed out by the door.
However, Li Shimin saw another market from Zhang Feng's words and actions.
Once this barbecue appeared, all the chickens, ducks, pigs, and mutton that were so cheap that there was no stable price of two would be in high demand again.
Moreover, once the price stabilized, it would definitely stimulate the consumer market and the market economy again.
Zhang Feng had used this method several times, and so had Li Shimin. If he still could not understand it now, it would really be inexcusable.
"Feng Zi, this method of yours is really amazing!"
Li Shimin gave him a heartfelt thumbs up.
"Not only did you make the market that was paralyzed become active again, but you also made the consumption level of the people become active again. You are really … a genius!"
"I, Zhang Feng, have never calculated whether the market economy is economical or not. I only know that this time, we just have to wait for the money to be made! And it's the real meaning of lying down to make money! "
"When barbecue and beer become popular in the Tang Dynasty, that scene, even now, is exciting just thinking about it!"
"This is what it means to bring honor to our ancestors!"
