At this time, there were three craftsmen with excited faces in the hut, staring cautiously, drops of bamboo pipes dripping wine drop by drop, a half-full bamboo cup was placed on the stool under the bamboo pipe, and several wine jars were placed on the table beside it. It has a rich aroma of sake.

Wang Bo saw the wine dripping and splashing, slapped one of the craftsmen on the head, and shouted, "Change the big glass!" Waste! No, go and prepare the urn! Hurry up! The two brewers hurried out.

Wang Bo tiptoed to take the small spoon next to him, scooped a spoonful from half a jar of wine on the table, and poured it into his mouth beautifully: "Hmm! …… Wine! Uncle to you taste! As he spoke, he scooped another spoonful and put it into Chen's mouth, then looked at him with a blank eye.

With a "grunt", the wine that was poured into his mouth slid down Chen Zhi's throat, and the next moment, Chen Zhi's little face suddenly turned red, "Ahem, cough, cough!" You...... I......! He put his hands on his cheeks and bent down.

"Hahaha!" Wang Bo burst into laughter, the winemakers gathered outside the hut looked at each other, Chen Rong pulled away from the crowd, commanded the two young men to carry the tank and walked in, and asked, "Lord!" What's so funny? ”

Wang Bo didn't say anything, scooped another spoonful, this time learned a lesson, only scooped half a mouthful, and handed it to Chen Rong. Chen Rong pursed his lips and drank, his eyes immediately lit up, and he praised Wang Bo with a red face: "Good wine!" Such a fine wine is the best among wines! The lord is really a wine fairy who can make this wine! ”

The beautiful Wang Bo laughed again for a while. Immediately ordered: From today onwards, a team of soldiers will be transferred to cooperate with the guard battalion to strictly guard, and a new wall will be erected outside the wine workshop, except for Chen Rong and Wang Bo, those who do not have Wang Bo's warrant are forbidden to enter, and those who violate the rules will be taken down and sent to the coolie camp, and those who intend to misdeeds will be killed on the spot!

All winemakers live and eat in the workshop, and take turns to have one day off every five days, and must be accompanied by someone. The winemaker's family also lived in a concentrated area and was guarded by guards.

At the same time, it also allowed Chen Dao, who had finally eased his strength, to increase the manpower and purification equipment of the wine workshop to expand the scale. However, it is necessary to be strict in the selection process, and remember not to let unknown people get in.

On the night of the wine, Wang Bo brought a jar of wine that was finally waiting to be filled, called everyone, and poured a small glass for each person.

Wang Bo glared and shouted: "I only drink a small cup, do you think that this is inexhaustible?" Although the wine is good, it is not easy to brew, and now I need to make money in Seoul, and the brothers will be patient for the time being! Whoever makes meritorious service in the future, I will reward myself! ”

Everyone snorted, shook their sleeves together, rolled their eyes and dispersed in a hurry.

After frolicking for a while, Yang Feng stayed with a smile, and Wang Bo kicked the hippie smiling Pinghan and Pei Yuanshao out of the door, but he brought a small cup to Xu Chu, Chen Zhi, and Yang Feng, poured a small glass of the wine he secretly hidden, and tasted it slowly. There's no way, who still relies on these two great gods for personal protection? An occasional bribe is also deserved. As for Yang Feng, it is his own eldest brother who knocks his head to the ground, so naturally the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Wang Bo said to Yang Feng while tasting it: "Brother! How does Yuan Hao want to use this wine to communicate with Chief Hu? ”

When Yang Feng heard this, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Great goodness! Yuan Hao! It works! He also proposed to exchange grain and iron with the caravans of the Wang family, which were in urgent need of the Xinghan army at the moment. Wang Bomei smiled and discussed with Yang Feng for half a night before they rested in peace.

The next day, Wang Bo ordered a new restaurant to be built outside the caravan hall. I didn't bother to think about the name, so I named it "Xinghan Restaurant", which was specially established to promote "Xinghan Wine", and I could also make a little money by the way.

In the Xinghan Restaurant, there are pure wild game and side dishes specially prepared for passing merchants. Although because of the fact that the seasoning is not easy to find, what Wang Bo made is a little nondescript compared to his previous life, but just these two times, in the eyes of several cooking masters, it can be regarded as stir-frying to a new level, although our chef Wang does not even go away when he stir-fries meat.

Of course, the most distinctive thing is the Xinghan wine just produced in Xinghan City, but the selling price is really catching! Even the lowest grade is ten times that of the current Han ordinary wine.

At the beginning, the caravan stewards saw that the Xinghan army was the head of the land, but they just dealt with it routinely as a customs clearance and paid taxes, and bought it for their subordinates to drink. You must know that it is really rare to see a conscientious force like Xinghancheng, who does not exploit or collect taxes, and sells some high-priced wine, how much money can you have? You haven't opened your eyes yet, isn't that the birthday boy hanging himself for a long time?

Who knows that when people drink it now, they can drink something meaningful. Everyone who has drunk it is full of praise for Xinghan wine, I don't know if it is pretended or real, anyway, it is on the road the next day, and it looks dumbfounded, so that the people in charge can't help but mutter: This Xinghan City will not be drugged in wine, right? Is this bit of our belongings worth killing for money?

Wang Bo specially classified the distilled liquor: the highest alcohol content is distilled and purified three times, which is about more than 60 degrees in the previous life, and the medicinal materials prepared by Chen Rong are added to strengthen the body, which is called "Xinghan medicinal liquor".

The high-grade liquor without adding medicinal herbs is called "Xinghan medical wine", which is used for the combined treatment of various external injuries.

If it is purified twice, it is about 50 degrees equivalent to the previous life, and it is called "Xinghan burning". It was planned to be sold exclusively to the Hu chiefs in the north, as well as high-ranking officials.

The third is an ordinary liquor that is only purified once, about 30 degrees, and is named "Xinghan Xiaoyao". According to the proportion, it is mainly used for drinking by middle and low-class people, soldiers and Hu herdsmen.

Within a few days, several of the first major clan caravans to reach Hudi, including the Wang caravan, also returned. It seems that when I went, I was stranded by the Xinghan army for more than ten days, so that several large caravans rushed together, anyway, they came with each other.

After settling his subordinates and resting in the Xinghan Merchant Hall, several caravan stewards also made an appointment to visit the Xinghan City Lord. Wang Bo is thinking about selling Xinghan wine to them! A banquet was immediately set up for hospitality.

As soon as the banquet was tasted, the stewards' eyes immediately lit up, and they were full of praise for Xinghan wine. A few heads turned quickly, and immediately realized the business opportunities, and turned to explore the feasibility and transaction methods of Xinghan wine.

But when I heard Wang Bo talk about the price of Xinghan wine, they all shouted that it was too expensive! Even the cheapest "Xinghan Xiaoyao" is several times higher than the price of ordinary liquor in liquor stores, not to mention the more expensive "Xinghan Yao" and "medical wine". With such a high price, how can you sell it? Only Wang An was silent thoughtfully.

After listening to the complaints of the stewards, Wang Bo smiled slightly: "The fragrance of wine is not deep!" Wuxing Han wine is more ordinary than ordinary wine, such as the mansion where you and other family heads live than the thatched hut of the common people! How can it be the same price? ”

"The method of brewing this wine is the result of my master's life's work! It is not easy to brew, and the corn required is very numerous, and the price is not comparable to ordinary wine! Wuxing Seoul has lived here for more than a few months, but the wine stored is only a hundred catties. If you are too expensive, we will not mention it! ”

Wang An raised his head at this time, frowned, and said: "Although this wine is wonderful, but its price is so expensive, we bring it to the Guannai and even the rich places of Jing and Yang, and we are also discouraged by its price, I am afraid that no one cares!"

"Wuxing Han wine is only suitable for the bitter cold of the north now, Jing Yang doesn't care about it for the time being! If the king's steward has the idea of trading, lest the price be high and no one cares, he will be worried! ”

"If this is not the case: the next time you go to Hudi, you will bring five catties of 'Xinghan medicinal wine' and 'medical wine', twenty catties of 'Xinghan burning', and a few 'Xinghan small burning'. Thou shalt not give the money of the trade! If there is no one to trade, then I will give it to you, and if it does, then I will have fifty warlike horses and fifty horses to carry weights. ”

"So good! …… And so it goes! ......" Seeing Wang An frowning, Wang Bo said again: "Don't worry too much about Wang Guan's affairs!" Wuxing Hanjun is also a hot-blooded man, a man of faith! Never do it for the sake of the supper! I gave the king steward two catties of 'Xinghan burning' with the goods, how about tasting it when trading? ”

"So good! The villain thanked the general! Wang An immediately smiled, and replied after bowing respectfully.

As soon as he saw that Wang Bo could pay the account on credit first, the other stewards also asked for it.

Wang Bo asked, "Who is the caravan you and the others who come and go to the land of the Xiongnu?" Seeing that two people nodded, he said: "You two can each bring ten catties of 'Xinghan Roast' and twenty catties of 'Xinghan Small Roast', and each has a little wine to taste, but when trading, I only need horses!" The two nodded happily.

For others, Wang Bo explained: There is only so much wine stored in Xinghan City now, and after everyone returns to the family first, they will discuss it next time they go to Hudi to trade, maybe at that time, Xinghan wine has been saved a lot! Of course, two catties of "Xinghan Xiaoyao" were also given to each person.

Everyone was overjoyed, and in the sound of thanking Wang Bo, they ended the banquet and went on the road.

After sending the caravan away, Wang Bo went to the wine workshop again, and saw that Liao Liao had little Xinghan wine inventory, so he had to urge Chen Rong to expand the wine workshop and step up brewing. At the same time, telling the winemakers "medicinal wine" and "medical wine" can make their own original sake, which can speed up a lot. He looked at the fermenting casks before leaving satisfied.

Just about to go to the school to watch the "Wolf Guard" drill, someone came to report: There is a disturbance in the Xinghan Restaurant. When Wang Bo heard this, which birdman dared to tidy up his son in my territory? Tired of living?

When I came to Xinghan Restaurant, I saw that it was a group of caravan-like big men, who were there, and the Tian Chou tribesmen who were in charge of logistics in the restaurant were making loud noises, and some passing merchants were also coaxing. But he didn't dare to do it, after all, he also understood that it was opened by the Xinghan Army.

After asking the reason, I learned that it was a few people who were good drinkers, and they wanted to buy some Xinghan wine to drink on the road. As a result, Xinghan Restaurant is not for sale. And it is stipulated that it can only be drunk here, and it is not allowed to be carried out! It's also difficult for a few rude drunkards, who can't buy it if they want to, and who can't shake their heads but can't talk about reason, but they don't dare to fight, so they have to pull a few people to block the door, jump and shout there, and roar like a cannon! From a distance, he saw a majestic Xinghan army coming, and immediately dispersed.

Wang Bo shook his head, called a scribe surnamed Tian, and asked him to post a notice: Xinghan City will set up a "Yi Jiu Division" in a few days to sell Xinghan wine, and the price will be slightly lower than that of Xinghan Restaurant.

The "Yijiu Division" was built not far from the caravan hall, and was in charge of Tian Chou and Niu Er. Moreover, it is stipulated that whoever trades more than five catties, Xinghan City only accepts horses, salt and iron, and grain, and ordinary wine can also be traded if it is not mixed with water, and it is limited to caravans.

Transactions below five catties are aimed at individual customers. You can use cloth, tea, armor, etc.

All transactions are not charged in cashier currency. To this end, a few men who are accustomed to horses and good at arguing from the logistics staff were specially dispatched to help.

After dealing with these anxious things, the day is almost gone again. But Wang Bo was very happy in his heart, and even looked at Chen Zhi and felt a lot more pleasing to the eye. After lying down comfortably, he couldn't help but think of Tian Feng again, sighed, gritted his teeth and fell asleep.

More than ten days later, the major caravans rushed to Xinghan City from all over the country one after another, and after being screened by the guards of Yuhu Pass, they entered Xinghan City, and at the same time brought a large amount of food and ordinary wine. It seems that he is full of energy, and he wants to exchange for some Xinghan wine, even if he doesn't go to other places to sell it, he has to exchange it for drinking it himself.

After entering Xinghan City, the stewards did not go to the guild hall to settle down, but immediately asked to see Wang Bo, who was overwhelmed, so he issued a notice: Five days later, after most of the caravans coming and going here had gathered, they would have a banquet together.

After the Wang caravan arrived, Wang Bo set up several tables in the Xinghan Restaurant and feasted everyone. The heads of nearly 20 large and small caravans were invited, and there were many new faces who came with the news.

At the banquet, the caravan stewards also had less restraint from the last time, and when the wine and food came up, they would have a good meal first. After the banquet, they discussed the trading method of Xinghan wine and the quota situation.

After some noisy and noisy caravans, under Wang Bo's arrangement, it was finally determined: Xinghan City will be supplied every month before the winter: Xinghan small burning thousand catties; Xinghan burned 500 catties; 100 catties of medical wine and medicinal wine. In addition, there are dozens of catties of fruit wine.

The quota is as follows: the Wang caravan alone accounts for 30%, the caravan of other major clans accounts for 40%, and the remaining dozen or so small and medium-sized caravans are meloned into the remaining 30%. It's also a big and small balance, and everyone is happy.

At the same time, it emphasized the regulations of the Xinghan army: when going west to Hudi to trade, you can only change horses. If you trade Xinghan wine from Kannai to Xinghan City, you can collect ordinary wine, grain, salt and iron. If you can collect skilled craftsmen, you can give preferential treatment and increase their supply. If Xing Hancheng has special needs, notice will be given separately, and you can negotiate with the "Yi Wine Division" for wine exchange in the future.

After the meeting ended, Wang An came to the door, and when he asked what he meant, he realized that the Wang caravan had rushed to the clouds to return, and had just passed outside the Imperial Slave Pass at this time, and was waiting for Wang Bo to check it.

Wang Bo immediately led a few people to check the harvest of Wang's caravan: more than 30 high-grade war horses, although there are no numbers as Wang Bo said, but in fact, Wang Bo is also a lion's mouth, you must know that war horses in ancient times, equivalent to the current land tank, belong to the symbol of force of various military forces, and are generally forbidden to flow out. If you can get thirty horses for some wine, that's definitely a great thing, and it is estimated that you will definitely not be able to exchange so many horses in the future.

Moreover, there were fifty or sixty sturdy pack horses, and even a few cows and sheep mixed in. made Wang Bo rub his hands excitedly.

Seeing the cattle, Wang Bo remembered one more thing: next year's cultivation will definitely have to plough the cattle, and there is still a lot of demand, which is a top priority! Immediately discussed with Wang An in exchange for ploughing cattle.

Sheep can also be raised, and they can eat meat, which also saves the hunting team from having to run so far every time they hunt! Right! I wonder if there are any pigs now? …… Wang Bo put Wang An aside, and traveled beautifully out of the world.

The hot sales of Xinghan wine have made Xinghan City a lot of money. In exchange, not only did it solve the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers and civilians of Xinghan, but also some of the materials that the Han Dynasty now explicitly prohibits trading, such as pig iron, standard weapons, military armor, etc., which are currently in short supply in Xinghan City, are also secretly carried by major caravans and flow into the Xinghan army. Don't want a lot of food and wine, all of them will be pulled to Xinghan City for Xinghan Burn. Then there were those who returned directly to the Guannai, and those who went to Hudi to exchange for war horses, cattle and sheep, and then exchanged the war horses for Xinghan wine, and then rushed to the location of their trading houses with excitement.
