"Well, listening to Zifeng, do you want to buy grain on a large scale? How big is that? ”

Guan Yi stretched out a finger.

"A million? Hey, I'll make it up for you with a little tightness. Don't say it, I'm in charge! ”

"Well, I want 10 million."

"Oh, ten million. Yes?! Ten million! What are you doing? Is there another Northern Expedition? ”

"Hehe, don't ask more about this Zhongsi. In short, when it is divided into three points today, the situation of pseudo-Wei Duqiang has not fundamentally changed. So as long as my brain is not broken, I won't have any thoughts about your Wu Kingdom. You just need to be clear about that. ”

"Well, that's true. Well, if it's ten million, that's fine. Anyway, there has been a lot of grain in each storehouse over the years. In the past, you could still use these old grains to make wine, but since your fruit wine came out, these old grains have only been piled up in the warehouse and moldy! ”

"Hmph, Zhong Si, you are not allowed to fool me with moldy old grain."

"Hey, who's with whom. But I said, after all, you want 10 million stone of grain. It's impossible to get all new meters. But I promise, at most, last year's old rice, and there is no mildew. ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, come, touch a glass."

……

"Friends from the thirteen states, after the first thirty-four rounds of fierce bidding. None of the 34 salt farms we auctioned in front of us failed to bid. Here, Mi Zhao would like to thank all friends for their strong support! Next up is the final saltworks of the auction: the Britannica Saltworks in County Brasil! There are more than 100 mines in this salt field, all of which have realized the technical production of Zhuo tube wells, and 52 of them have their own associated natural gas. Its output is enough to ensure the boiling of brine in the whole field, and there is no need to send people to cut wood and boil salt. The daily salt output of this salt farm is 400 stones! Moreover, all the people around this salt field are Hermes-Epitek, and there are also Brazilian soldiers stationed there. At the same time, it is close to the Jialing River and the Han River, which is very convenient for both the southern Ba County and the northern and southern Jingzhou...... The reserve price of this salt pan is 300 million yuan! Now you can place your bids! ”

When Guan Yi and Bu Yan were doing the blending, the auction hosted by Mi Zhao was also coming to an end.

At this moment, after many rounds of competition, some consortia have no money to spare because they have purchased more salt farms in the past. Some consortia are not strong enough, although they see such a huge output and such convenient transportation, it is a flow of saliva, but they are really more than willing to do it. Therefore, compared with the chaos and excitement of the bidding in the small salt field in front of it, the bidding at this time seems a little deserted.

However, although it was cold, there was also a tragedy in the air of slaughter.

"Four hundred million!"

"Hmph, weren't you Yizhou people arrogant at first, you swallowed at least nearly twenty of the thirty-four salt farms. Why don't you dare to increase the price now? Such a salt field of 100 million is not interesting. 600 million! ”

"This accent is from Yingchuan! Hmph, Wei Wei! ”

"Humph! Shu thief! ”

"Knock knock~~~!! Calm and quiet, two of you, if you fire the map cannon again, you can't say it, and this official will expel you from the field. Well, 600 million for the first time! Has anyone increased the price? ”

"Ho ho ho ho ~~~ How much money do Yingchuan people have? How are we Jizhou people? Eight hundred million! ”

"It's really strange, this salt mine is so far away from your Jizhou, what are you buying it for? Billion! ”

"Huh? Listening to your accent, you are from Wu County. This salt mine is not close to you! 1.1 billion! ”

"Shut up! Lao Tzu is a person who knows how to do it, so he is not a Wujun dog. Ah, then again, didn't you just add 100 million to the suspect's house? How dare you only add 100 million? Billion! ”

"Hmph, why are you so arrogant? It's a pity that you ran into us Wu County people! 1.5 billion! ”

"MB's Wu Jungou, it's enough to exploit us in Dawu, do you want to dismantle with you in Yizhou? Billion! ”

"Hehehe, two billion? How many years will it take you to pay back? That's why you're going to be pigs. Lao Tzu stopped playing. Hahahaha~~~~"

"Two billion for the first time? Two billion for the second time? Are there any friends who have a markup? This is the last salt farm. Two billion for the third time! Boom! Deal! Congratulations to this friend who is holding the number 32 quotation card! Okay, this is the end of today's auction, please go to a small dark room in the background to make the corresponding handover. Well, as explained in advance, a part of the deposit is required. After that, you can start arranging the relevant takeovers. Thank you for your support, and send you off! ”

The auction is over, and Mi Zhao is busy handing over to the local tyrants who auctioned off the salt farm, and he is even busier than just now. And Guan Yi's side is not easy. Because, compared with the second master who was so upright just now that he could only be described as stupid, the person he was talking to now was really not easy to mess with.

"Zichugong can accept Guan Yi's invitation and come to my Yizhou at risk. I am really impressed! ”

Yes, the two people sitting in a more secret room, except for Guan Yi, the rest of them are the new commander of the Yongzhou Legion of the Cao Wei Empire, Sima Wang, the general of the expedition to the west!

"Hehehe, two or three months ago, I saw Jian Wushuang, Li Lingbo, Ma Zhongying and others in Luoyang. I hope to be very interested in Guan Zifeng, who can drive these people. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name! ”

"Don't dare to be the first prince to praise falsely."

"It's not a compliment. Zifeng, the auction just now earned no less than 10 billion, right? ”

"Well, after a rough calculation, it should be a little more than 10 billion."

"Hehehe, that's not all. When you get the money, you can do what you want to do, for example, improve people's livelihood, and even import a large amount of grain to Soochow or my Great Wei. And then implement tax exemption in your country, so as to reassure the people and stabilize your position. Moreover, after the salt farm is handed over to the private sector, the amount of salt produced will inevitably increase significantly, and the price of salt will also follow. Not only did the people have more food in their hands, but they also bought salt cheaper. As soon as these two things are abundant, the people are still not dead set on you? ”

This Sima Wang is really powerful!

"Hehe, everything can't escape the eyes of Zichugong. Then I want to ask, Zichu Gongcai? ”

"My nephews have scraped together a billion to send people here to buy a salt farm, but I have no interest."

You're not interested. Is there anyone in the world who is more interested in money than you? If you hadn't gone out of Chang'an and replaced someone else, would I have been able to invite you? The reason why you didn't buy a salt farm is because you have seen through the nature of the price of salt that will fall, and the payback time will be greatly extended, right?

"Hehehe, Zi Chugong is very interested and elegant, and he would not be interested in these mundane things. So, Zi Chugong, let's talk about things that can make people elegant. Last month, I sent someone to give you a high-grade liquor, what do you think? ”

That's right! It is a highly liquor.

For a time-traveler, making thirty or forty degrees of liquor in this era is like playing - isn't it distillation and cooling, it's a time-traveler. But in Fuling County before, due to the long-term inability to self-sufficiency in food, Guan Yi would never take out this thing - that is, after Fuling County initially achieved food self-sufficiency, he secretly brewed a little bit to satisfy his hunger. But after drinking the high-grade liquor he brewed, he completely lost interest - the water quality was too poor.

If it is said that the ranking of liquor in later generations in China, Moutai ranks first, and it is estimated that there is little controversy. This second, Guan Yi personally thinks it is Wuliangye. Then Luzhou Laojiao is slightly secondary.

The practical water of these three kinds of liquor all comes from a river - the Chishui River. Moutai is in the upper reaches, Yibin is in the middle reaches, and Luzhou is in the lower reaches - in fact, the Chishui River is 500 miles long, and there must be a famous wine within 100 miles. And the more upstream the sake, the better!

Fortunately, the entire Chishui River is now within the territory of Shu Han.

So, now, it's time to come up with the new big killer of high-grade liquor.

In April of this year, after receiving the news that Sima Wang was back in Chang'an, Guan Yi sent someone to send Sima Wang a batch of high-grade liquor. Although this batch of wine is brewed with bad water with extremely high mineral impurities in Wujiangli, in Guan Yi's opinion, the quality is very inferior. But for people in the Wei and Jin dynasties who never drank more than 15 degrees, the wine was fragrant, clear and transparent, the entrance was like a knife, and the high liquor that turned into fire in the abdomen was really like a fairy brew from the sky!

And who is Sima Wang? A celebrity who can sing and harmonize with Cao Chao of 'Wen Tong Chen Si'. He knew very well how attractive this thing was to those celebrities after it was launched!

Celebrities and gentlemen must be wild and uninhibited. How can we be wild in nature and not wild in disguise? It used to be scattered by five stones—and after eating that thing, it was manic and hallucinating. But the side effects really don't have too many - eating for a long time will definitely become a mental illness. And a very short-lived psychosis.

And this wine is different! Baume & Mercier already likes to drink, and drinking this is not only elegant, but also natural and wild! It's a big killer that leads the trend of the times!

Therefore, Sima Wang took the risk and came to Chengdu in person.

"Don't say more, Zichugong, you provide me with sorghum, wheat, rice and other grains, and I will sell you such wine. The quality will only get higher and higher...... This price, a fixed price, thirty stone of grain and one stone of wine! ”

(Black-hearted Guan Yi, you must know that since modern China, the common people have known that if you want to produce liquor above 45 degrees, the ratio of three catties of grain and one catty of wine is basically constant.) Even if the production technology is not up to par in these years, five catties of grain and one catty of liquor will be terrible. ）

"Well, I can agree to this price. My request is ......"

"Of course, this wine can only be sold by the people designated by Zichugong. Including my Fuxing Society, they are only in charge of production, not sales! ”

"Good! That's it! ”
