Salt was under the control of the imperial court, and the Yuezheng Family could not get their hand in. But tea had been their business for many years, and the Yuezheng Family started with such a business.
If they took smaller amounts, the tribes might get disappointed, and the other business families might take that chance and sneak in, replacing them as the main supplier.
If they were replaced, not only tea leaves, but other goods might not sell easily.
As long as they had satisfying tea leaves, the other goods could be sold at the same time.
If the amount of tea leaves wasn't enough, then they would need to find other new clients and turn to other aspects.
That was not what Yuezheng Hong was willing to do.
They were mainly a tea leaves business family, and they were experienced in it.
