Chapter 70: Just waiting for you to make a move
"Lao Wu, have you reported this situation, do Zifei and the people above know?" It is the dynasty that speaks, the wine shop in the capital has produced more than the expected amount, and there is a problem with the accounts every half a month, this is millions of dollars, there is a problem with the wine, Zi Fei will not say what will happen, the one above will kill everyone.
Zi Fei wrote that now wine supports all the industries of the Lu family, and the business house still owes others millions of yuan, once the wine line collapses, all this established by Zi Fei will collapse in an instant, salt and sugar make a lot of money, but the palace comes out so much every month! Moreover, the emperor also took away the recipes for making sugar and salt, and in this case, he could only enter Beijing himself.
Lao Wu is the house slave that Li Lin brought at the beginning, and now he is in charge of the trading of Xifeng wine in the capital, listening to Wang Chao's unkind tone, Lao Wu said: "This situation has happened more than half a month ago, someone secretly hoarded a large number of Xifeng wine, they seem to know our details very well, every time they come to the wine they bought at least forty percent, after I found out, I told my son-in-law, my son-in-law wrote to me in Luoyang to tell me that everything is business as usual, I did it." ”
Wang Chao said: "Then you mean that the extra wine is still here?" ”
Lao Wu said: "Yes, nearly 100,000 bottles of wine are all stored in the cellar, Gongzi at least let us wait, and the others are not said." ”
Wang Chao said: "You take me to see the wine now, you know that the first thing to cut off in addition to the problem is your head." ”
Two people came to the underground wine cellar, a small hole guarded by no less than ten people, there are three thumb-thick steel doors, Wang Chao and Lao Wu each took out half of the token and put it together and handed it to the guard, the keeper took the token and the pattern on the paper in his hand kept comparing, and every number on the checker token was handed over to Wang Chao and Lao Wu after inspection.
After Wang Chao entered, he saw 100,000 bottles of wine neatly placed on the shelves, he walked around at will, and when he walked there, he would take off a bottle and unscrew the cap and smell it, knowing that all the wine had been checked, before nodding to Lao Wu.
Looking at the prosperous Bianjing Wang Chao said: "Now this situation must be solved in time, the wine in the wine cellar was originally prepared for Luoyang and Chengdu Mansion, your reasons have caused a lot of lag in the plan, the entire territory of Shaanxi can not find two taels of wine, the grain in Suhu and Huhu is too slow to go by land, we don't have much wine in stock, can you contact your son-in-law?" ”
The son of the old Wu family is kneeling on the ground now, and the old man with his ass pouting, where is he being beaten? The bamboo board in Zhao Zhen's hand kept falling on Lu Lu's buttocks, and every time he went down, Li Lin howled, and finally Queen Cao couldn't stand it anymore and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, he is still a child, forget the lesson, it's not good if it's broken." ”
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "I arranged for him to give me a good look at the wine shop in the capital, he was good, he slapped his ass and left, do you know what he did?" He thinks the food in the capital is not delicious, so he went to Luoyang to find that Xiaoxiu to make food for him, you can go, can't you bring some to me and the queen when you come back, you are a white-eyed wolf. ”
When Li Lin heard this, he jumped up and said, "The emperor is thinking about this!" Did you say it earlier? The harvest of my trip this time is not small, I brought back the set of tools for Xiucai's cooking, and also abducted one of his cooks, this cook is amazing, it was taught by Xiucai, and Xiucai's she basically learned almost everything. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Then what are you waiting for, send it to the palace immediately, don't you see that the queen is unwell?" Let the cook hurry up and go into the palace to cook something delicious for the queen, make up for her body, and if there are any good things. ”
Li Lin said pitifully: "Can the emperor wait a few days, I will let the cook teach those stupid cooks in my family for a few days, and then send you to the palace, what do you think?" Isn't Huining Palace damp now, and there is just something that can be used. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "What's the matter, you don't want to use those strange things to huo here." ”
Li Lin said: "Am I that bad? It's called a stove, it can burn charcoal, it doesn't have a little taste, it's the most suitable for winter, I'm going to open a blacksmith shop for my family, and in a few days I'll sell stoves. ”
Zhao Zhen tugged at his ear and said, "Li Lin, you are getting better and better now, do you think I don't know what the charcoal is?" Are you someone who wants to poison the entire palace? You see, I'm not an idiot. ”
Li Lin said: "You want to go there, don't you dare to tell you if you are not sure at all?" Not to mention for the queen mother, Xiucai got a tin pipe called a chimney, let the smoke go out along the pipe, there was nothing in the house, I lived with Fengzi in him for several days, nothing happened. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "It's about the same, if there is anything good, send it to the palace, don't hide it, don't hear it." ”
Li Lin said weakly: "I know, I will send you two in as soon as possible." ”
Empress Cao said: "I'll go to the imperial garden to have a look, don't bully him all the time, let him stay and eat with us for a while." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "The queen goes out and brings a few more people, be careful, don't go too far." ”
Empress Cao said: "Xiaolin is still there? You don't care about it, it's still early? It's okay. ”
Zhao Zhen watched Empress Cao leave and said to Li Lin: "Tell me, what's going on in Luoyang, Wan Ming's old thing never interfered in government affairs before, what's wrong this time, he stayed there and didn't come back, what are you hiding from me." ”
Li Lin said with palpitations: "That thing is too terrible, Grandpa Wan stayed there for fear of accidents, Xiucai asked me to tell you that the research is mature, and the first one will be presented to the palace for you to see, and there are many uncertainties about immaturity now." ”
You Wanming stared at Zhao Zhen very relieved, and then asked: "What is the matter between the King of Qingling County and the King of Yuhang County, the leg of the King of Qingling County is broken, and the King of Yuhang County can't hear anything now, don't tell me that you don't know." ”
Li Lin quickly glanced at Zhao Zhen's expression, and found that he was not angry, so he said: "The leg of the King of Qingling County was indeed broken by Xiucai, because two people robbed a woman The King of Qingling County did not rob it, so, is it about the King of Yuhang County?" I said now that you probably won't believe it, but when the thing enters the palace, you personally inspect it, and then you will understand. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "You are not allowed to be so presumptuous in the future, but they are also two county kings, the basic respect still has to be given, do you know, tell Xiao Xiucai, don't break other people's legs at every turn, he is a scholar, not a martial artist who dances with guns and sticks, I have been annoyed to death for the past two days, can't you give me snacks one by one?" ”
Li Lin muttered in a low voice: "That's why they have nothing to do." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "If there is something to say loudly, don't buzz like a mosquito there." ”
Li Lin said loudly: "No"
Zhao Zhen said: "Xiao Xiucai has been busy with something recently, have you studied your homework well?" ”
Li Lin said: "He has been busy planting vegetables and burning sand recently, and Mr. Shao is very close to him. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "That's right, reading is his duty, Mr. Shao is also a talented person, very good, and did you come back yesterday to hear about the wine shop?" ”
Li Lin said lightly: "Are you saying that someone secretly bought Xifeng Wine?" ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Yes! I've got news that those people want to take this opportunity to take you down at once, do you want me to do it? ”
Li Lin said confidently: "I already know about this matter, they use the methods in the shopping mall, then we also use the methods in the shopping mall to deal with them, they will not be convinced if you make a move, they have secretly purchased every batch of wine in the past two months, and they think that everything is hidden in fact everything can't escape our eyes, and they have prepared a big meal for them, just waiting for them to show up." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "If you can't hold on, let people enter the palace and tell me, you go and deal with this matter first, and I still have something to ask you later." ”
When Li Lin walked out of the gate of the palace, he saw Wang Chao spinning there with an anxious face, and he said with a smile: "What's the matter, Brother Wang, it doesn't look like your big shopkeeper at all." ”
Wang Chao was a little relieved when he saw the main owner, and pulled Li Lin and said: "Li Gongzi, how to deal with this matter now, the amount on the account is too different, and Zifei is urging the money?" ”
Li Lin said: "Calm, calm, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to the wine shop." ”
Lao Wu and the people here in Shaanxi agreed that the number of wine this time also followed the two people into the house, Li Lin said: "How much wine do we have in our hands now?" ”
Lao Wu said: "Counting today's total of 120,000 bottles. ”
Li Lin said: "Tomorrow another 10,000 bottles will be released." ”
Hearing Li Lin say this, Wang Chao and Lao Wu didn't understand, Li Lin explained: "They say that they have thousands of dollars in their hands, I believe, but most of that money is shops and land, and tomorrow they will release a batch of cash, I think the cash in their hands will be about the same, and tomorrow after the wine is sold, they will arrange someone to buy their wine, they are in a hurry to use the money to sell it at a low price, forcing them to sell the wine in their hands to us." ”
Wang Chao said: "Does it make sense to do this? ”
Li Lin said: "It was Xiucai who taught me to do this, do you say it makes sense?" ”
Wang Chao hurriedly said: "No, what will we do after the acquisition?" ”
Li Lin said: "The price of our wine is already very high, they see that we still have wine for sale, they will definitely take risks, to add water to the wine, otherwise they will not be profitable, and so they release the Xifeng wine with water, we still sell it at the original price, under the same price you say, consumers will choose whose wine, and when their wine cannot be sold, that is the show has just begun." ”
Wang Chao said: "If we do this, we don't have enough funds, and you know that most of the money goes into the palace. ”
Li Lin said: "Don't give away the money for the time being, I will explain it to the palace when the time comes, and now we will wait for them to make a move." ”
