The first batch of distilled liquor, early the next morning, Li Zhonghua asked people to load it into a carriage, and asked the housekeeper Yan Wenli to send a jar of distilled liquor to the mansions of the major magnates in Chang'an City, and there was no need to say anything, just leave the worship post of the Li Mansion.

Of course, Li Zhonghua did not forget to mark on the worship post, the original Shuangliu County Men's House.

Most of the magnates of the Tang Dynasty, especially the emerging aristocrats, were born in Longyou, a man from the bitter cold land of the northwest, and they were fierce generals in the army, and there were few people who were not good at drinking, and they were quite addicted to alcohol.

For example, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chi Jingde and others, which one is not an amazing amount of alcohol?

Not long after noon, people from various prefectures came to Anrenfang, found Li's mansion, and asked to order a batch of new wine.

Li Zhonghua asked everyone to sit down and rest, and served tea, saying that because it was a new wine that had just begun to be brewed, there was not much inventory, and the number of people who wanted to order was too much, and there was no way to supply all of them, so only the one with the highest price could get it.

Those who came were the stewards of the houses, and when they came, the master told them that they must buy the wine.

This is also difficult for them, after drinking distilled liquor that is much stronger than cloudy wine, and then letting them drink those low-alcohol liquors, it is like drinking water, it really has no taste.

Moreover, the Ministry of War had already purchased a batch before, and Li Shimin had also hosted a banquet for many old ministers in the court, and they had tasted this new wine together.

It's just that Li Shimin didn't tell everyone where this wine came from, and many people thought it was a tribute wine from that place, and there was nowhere to buy it if they wanted to.

Now that I know that this kind of wine is from Chang'an City, how can we miss this opportunity again.

As for the price, since it is an aristocratic class, of course it will not be worse than this wine price.

As soon as the stewards of the various provinces heard that there was no stock of this wine, they immediately became anxious, if they couldn't buy the wine back, the master would be unhappy, and if they were not happy, they would inevitably be punished, so they all competed for wine, and the price was arbitrary.

"Not long ago, the Ministry of War purchased a batch of wine from our Li Mansion, and bid three times for a bucket, in fact, our Li Mansion also lost money, but His Majesty has a will, and the holy order is difficult to do.

The purpose of the wine sold this time, our purpose is to promote it, so in the way of half selling and half giving, five yuan per bucket, each house can supply ten buckets of wine, and the rest of the share, everyone competes fairly, and the one with the highest price wins. The housekeeper Yan Wenli said to everyone.

Although five buckets of money is not cheap, it is actually within the range of everyone's acceptance, but only ten buckets of wine are served, which makes it difficult for everyone to accept.

The houses are basically large families, and the aristocratic class is not formed overnight, so there are usually many people in the house, and ten buckets of wine are really not enough to see, and when it comes to the rise of drinking, one meal is not enough to drink.

What should I do if I want to get more places? Add money!

So the wine of five dollars and one bucket was quickly turned to ten dollars and one bucket, and it was still going up.

Everyone brought enough money to come, and no one was bad for money.

As long as they don't lie about the price, no matter how high the price is, the master will not blame them.

On the contrary, if you don't buy enough wine, you will be punished by the master's family when you go back.

Between the magnates, although they are called brothers and sisters on weekdays, there is a harmonious atmosphere on the surface.

But secretly they are also competing with each other, and no one is convinced.

Who can buy more wine nowadays is a matter of face.

"We, the Lu Guogong Mansion, have gone out fifteen, and we want them all." The steward in Lu Guogong's mansion was in a hurry, and directly opened the price to 15 yuan.

"We are willing to pay twenty times to buy all the new wine." The other man stood up and said.

"Don't fight for any of you, we want the rest of the wine from the Duke of Zhao's mansion." Another steward stood up and said.

"Why! Although you Zhao Guogong is powerful, our Eguo Gong is not a vegetarian, and now who is fighting for the high price. ”

"Can't you afford to bid when we are in the Zhao Guogong Mansion? Thirty runs, our Zhao Guogong Mansion has thirty pieces of money. ”

Li Zhonghua did not come forward, but hid to the side to watch the excitement, anyway, no one knew him, he was the owner behind the scenes.

At this time, when I heard that the price had soared to 30 yuan a bucket, I couldn't help but be amazed.

A bucket of wine is four catties, and the purchasing power of consistent money is about equivalent to 1,000 yuan in the early nineties.

A bucket of wine sold for 30,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 7,500 yuan for a pound of wine, and it is equivalent to 7,500 yuan in the early 90s of later generations.

Not to mention morality, the purchasing power of the aristocracy is really amazing! Some large gate valves, such as the Boling Cui family, the Shanxi Wang family, the Longyou Li family, and so on, are not too much to describe as rich and rival countries.

Li Zhonghua prepared 200 jars of wine, that is, 1,000 buckets, to bid for purchase, if you sell it at 30 guan per bucket, you can get 30,000 guan immediately, and this money will inevitably be very profitable.

"Fifty runs, our Eguo Mansion is willing to pay fifty guan for a bucket, and I hope everyone will give us a little face for the Eguo Princess, and I will give it up."

In Li Zhonghua's trance, the steward of the Eguo Mansion had already raised the price to fifty pounds of wine, and his tone had changed to an implied warning threat.

Who is the Duke of Eguo, Wei Chi Jingde! That is a big black man with a fiery temper and no one is convinced, but he is also amazingly powerful, not only saved Li Shimin's life, but also killed Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the former prince Li Jiancheng, who made the first contribution to Li Shimin's ascension to the throne and emperor.

If anyone provokes Wei Chi Jingde, isn't that asking for trouble for themselves? If you are beaten, you may not be beaten, even if it is in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be biased towards the other party.

And the price of fifty yuan a bucket has exceeded the price in many people's hearts, although the main family also paid this price, but as a steward, more than a certain authority, it is also necessary to ask for instructions.

Seeing that things were about to get stiff, and that he had already achieved the expected goal, Li Zhonghua hurriedly coughed lightly twice, signaling Yan Wenli to accept it when he saw it.

Yan Wenli is also a person who has been a housekeeper for many years, so he naturally understood what Li Zhonghua meant, and hurriedly spoke.

"Everyone is in charge of each province, so don't hurt everyone's harmony. This steward of the Eguo Mansion has the highest bid, and the stewards of other mansions don't have to increase the price, and there are those who are willing to accept this price, please raise your hand. ”

As soon as Yan Wenli's words fell, several people raised their hands and said that they were willing to accept the price.

The others were a little hesitant, but when they saw someone raise their hands, they also raised their hands after hesitating for a moment.

After waiting for a long time, the governors of the various prefectures who came raised their hands without exception and agreed, after all, everyone can accept it, if they can't accept it in their own house, it will be very faceless, and after returning to the mansion, let the master feel that he is not doing things well, and he has lost the face of the lord's family, so won't he be able to eat and go around?

"Since everyone here is willing to accept this price, then today we will divide the two hundred jars of wine equally, and then report the amount that each province needs to purchase, and the rest we will send the new wine ordered by each province to each province in batches within half a month."

Since today is only the first day, there are not many people who come to Li Mansion to buy wine, there are only more than 20 mansions, and if they are divided equally, each mansion can get eight jars of wine, plus two jars of wine supplied by five guan money and one bucket, and each family can take away ten jars of wine.

When the wine had been taken away, they left behind two thousand and fifty pieces of money, and a total of more than fifty-one thousand pieces of money, and the treasury was almost full.

Fortunately, some of the accounts were paid in gold and silver, otherwise they would really have to find another place to pile up money.

Think about the future generations, a mobile phone in hand, how much money is just a number on the account, Li Zhonghua looked at this room full of Kaiyuan Tongbao, it was really helpless, hundreds of tons of copper coins, hundreds of thousands of catties!
