Mu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and after tossing for a long time, could he still be on an equal footing with Jin Yixin? Not only did he follow the Mandate of Heaven Army with all his heart, but he also took a ride with his own daughter......

Is this a balancing act? Or has he stopped believing in himself? No wonder Rong'er's marriage has been postponed again and again......

He made no secret of his disappointment.

Li Zicheng understood Mu Qingshan's thoughts from his face, he remained silent, and just said lightly: "Master Mu, have you ever thought about producing some strange things by yourself, and when you sell them in the future, you don't have to be controlled by others." ”

"Production?" Mu Qingshan had a faint feeling, could he be like the Grand Governor and produce something unique in this world? If so......

Li Zicheng said lightly: "Has proprietor Mu heard of wine?" ”

"Wine? That's the kind of ...... By the way, grapes, wine made from grapes? I heard that it is different from distilled wine, and the color is dark red...... "Although Mu Qingshan is a leader in the business world of Xining, he has only heard of wine, let alone drinking it, and he has never seen it in his life."

"Yes, it's a wine made from grapes," Li Zicheng said secretly, fighting with me, do you have the insight of future generations? "Since the proprietor knows that wine is made from grapes, does he know where grapes are produced?"

"Grapes?" Mu Qingshan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, could it be that the Metropolitan Governor wanted me to make wine? Daming does not produce wine, so there are occasional wines from the Western Regions, and the price is really amazing, so even he has never seen it.

The technology of making wine is a secret that he never imagined that one day he would make wine, so naturally he will not care where the grapes are produced.

"Actually, there is a place on the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army that produces grapes," Li Zicheng paused and said, "Ganzhou, have you heard of Lord Mu?" ”

"Ganzhou produces grapes?"

"Yes, Ganzhou produces grapes, and it is a good sandy grape, if it is used to make wine, as long as the technology is passed, the wine quality will be sweet and refreshing, and there will be a faint aroma of almonds and cinnamon when entering the mouth......"

"Ah......" Mu Qingshan was suddenly shocked and couldn't close his mouth, but his eyes quickly dimmed, Li Zicheng just drew him a cake that he could see but couldn't eat, "But, Dadudu, we don't have the technology to make wine......"

"Lord Mu, if the technology of making wine is in front of you, how much silver are you willing to spend to buy it?"

"It turns out that the Metropolitan Governor ...... Really...... Making wine...... Technical ......" Mu Qingshan was already incoherent, but he couldn't measure the price of technology for a while, and his eyes just swept around Li Zicheng's face.

Li Zicheng said in his heart, can I not give it away in vain?

On the land of Xining, the commercial tax reaches 10,000 taels every year, and even if there is no tax evasion, the output value will reach 150,000 taels, and among these silvers, Jin Yixin and Mu Qingshan will reach at least sixty percent.

Although Li Zicheng had to steal their silver, he couldn't sell such an important technology to them cheaply.

"Lord Mu, once the wine is shipped to Jingshi and Jiangnan, what will be the price...... No matter how much silver you have, you may not be able to buy high-quality wine, and if you can supply wine stably for a long time, then the profit is ......."

"The Governor ......"

Li Zicheng said in his heart, it's useless for you to call me uncle, it's okay to give it up to 20% off, if you want to give it away for nothing, it's absolutely impossible, the silver of the Heavenly Mandate Army is also tight now, if there is no protection from the Heavenly Mandate Army, can you make a lot of money in Xining with peace of mind?

"Lord Mu, not to mention selling the technology of making wine to Jingshi and Jiangnan, it is in this Xining area, as long as you reveal a little rumor, I am afraid that the threshold of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will be smoothed......"

In such a short period of time, Mu Qingshan has already thought clearly, although it is impossible to predict the profit of wine, as long as the wine is put on the market, it will definitely be a million profits.

The Metropolitan is really ...... Such a good deed, do your best, pity Na Jin Yixin, and still blow the northwest wind outside the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion......

Although I gave up a daughter Mu Sirong, it was worth it!

Mu Qingshan didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly said, "What price is the Metropolitan Governor going to sell?" ”

"What price can proprietor Mu give?"

Mu Qingshan knew that he couldn't find out Li Zicheng's details, in business, Li Zicheng had a unique technology, and he couldn't make a hard bar with him, so he stretched out an index finger, "Ten thousand taels!" ”

"Deal!" Li Zicheng was overjoyed, and originally planned to sell it for three or five thousand taels, anyway, this is a free-for-all technology, and it will be handed over to Mu Qingshan, which can just help realize the plan of "rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce", "However, Mu Dongzhu is not an outsider, so I will give a discount, and it will be regarded as a dowry for Rong'er, eight thousand taels!" ”

"Eight thousand taels?" Mu Qingshan was a little puzzled, thinking that he had heard it wrong, no one had ever thought that there was a lot of silver, "The Metropolitan Governor said that it only costs eight thousand taels?" ”

"This is your proprietor Mu," Li Zicheng nodded and said, "However, I have three conditions: when wine is sold in Xining and Lanzhou, the price should not be too high, so that some people can afford it; If you earn money, you can't miss a penny of commercial taxes; In the future, if the owner of Mu is short of manpower, I can go to Shaanxi to recruit some displaced people, and the remuneration will not be too high! ”

"The grass people follow the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor," Mu Qingshan found that among the three requirements of the Metropolitan Governor, in addition to commercial taxes, they are mainly for the people on the ground, "The Metropolitan Governor, sell wine on the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and I will sell it at cost price!" ”

"That's not necessary," Li Zicheng shook his head, "In business, if there is no profit...... Merchants also want to eat, you can keep the price low, small profits and quick turnover, the price is too high, there will be no local market. ”

"Small profits, quick turnover?" Mu Qingshan pondered for a moment and couldn't help nodding, "The grass people understand!" Suddenly, he said: "Governor, the grass people have a reluctant request......

Li Zicheng waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, just say it if you have something to say!" ”

Mu Qingshan clasped his hands into fists and saluted, lowered his head, but looked at Li Zicheng uneasily with the corner of his eye, "Grass people...... Plead to the Governor, don't sell your wine-making techniques to others! ”

It turned out that I wanted to monopolize the technology!

For merchants, who doesn't want to have exclusive technology to produce unique goods?

But in this way, businesses will cling to technology to eat the old book, which is not conducive to the development and innovation of technology.

"Lord Mu, there is no unchanging technology in the world, and no one can always enjoy a certain technology," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Just like this wine-making technology, isn't it now owned by Mu Dongzhu?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor ......" Mu Qingshan felt that Li Zicheng seemed to have some truth in what he said, but he still didn't quite understand.

"In this way, ten years, within ten years, I will not sell wine technology to anyone again," Li Zicheng thought for a while, in this era, the development of technology is too slow, it is better to leave some time for Mu Qingshan, "Ten years later, the quality of the wine produced by Mu Shi Commercial Company should be better, even if others buy these current technologies, the quality of the wine produced will be worse." ”

"The Governor is saying that the technology of wine production needs to be constantly innovated?"

"Yes, there is no one-size-fits-all method," Li Zicheng was secretly happy, Mu Qingshan is really a smart person, he can understand it at all, no wonder he has always wanted to surpass Jin Yixin, "So while producing wine, Mu Dongzhu should also let trusted craftsmen constantly familiarize themselves with and study wine production technology, so as to always maintain a leading position in the wine industry!" ”

"Talking to the Metropolitan Governor, it's really better than reading for ten years, no wonder Rong'er has refused to go home on weekdays since she entered the school, haha......" At this time, Mu Qingshan is considered to have let go, with Rong'er's relationship, the Metropolitan Governor has to take care of himself, but I don't know when the Metropolitan Governor will marry Rong'er, and he has to throw away a matter of his heart.

"I still have some skills here, so let proprietor Mu do some favors," Li Zicheng stroked his chin with his hand and said slowly: "Woolen clothes are made of wool and woven into the thread of the cotton jacket, which is both warm and ......lightweight."

"The Governor ......"

"The profit of such a product is far inferior to wine, I only need two thousand taels," Li Zicheng said: "If you have a trustworthy friend, you might as well let him come to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to buy it!" ”

"It's only two thousand taels?" Mu Qingshan suddenly showed a greedy gaze, "Metropolitan Governor, why don't you sell it to the grass people together?" ”

"Technology is used to produce products, if you buy it back and lie in the closet to sleep, you can't stand the people who developed it," Li Zicheng looked at Mu Qingshan with a smile and said: "Don't be greedy, don't be greedy, first get the wine thing right, if you still have the financial resources to come in, I may have something fresh." ”

"Governor, the grass people have been taught!" Mu Qingshan was indeed taught, and following Li Zicheng would always have unexpected surprises, he arched his hands and said: "Dadu Dudu, the production technology of woolen clothes, the grass people can inherit it for Mao Xiang, but this wool ...... There are no real herders in Xining anymore, and although many people still have cattle and sheep, the number is not too large......

"Mu Dongzhu's eyes can't just stare at Xining," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "A large amount of wool can only be purchased from the Mongols, if Mu Dongzhu is worried about his safety, I can talk to Lin Dan Khan, their wool has always been wasted, and the price should not be too high!" ”

"The grass people thank the Metropolitan Governor for Mao Xiang!"

"Don't be polite, we are our own people," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Tomorrow morning, you will come to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with silver, and we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" ”

Li Zicheng sent Mu Qingshan away, it was almost time, so he summoned Jin Yixin and sold him the production drawings of the Ziming Bell at a price of 12,000 taels of silver, and then sold the production technology of cotton and linen carpets, leather shoes and leather clothes to Jin Yixin's friends Gao Pingbao and Xia Wendong at the price of 5,000 taels and 3,000 taels respectively.

Thinking of the 30,000 taels of silver he had almost stolen, the corners of Li Zicheng's mouth showed a smug smile.
