Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Secret Conversation in the Temple (II)
"How did King Song think about it?"
Where Ying Xuan stood and waited for a while, watching Zhao Kuangyin keep looking at the more than 100 words on the paper repeatedly, with a hint of impatience in his tone, he asked.
Zhao Kuangyin put down the paper in his hand, looked at Ying Xuan with complicated eyes, and said, "The share dividends written above by Prince Xuan only restrict me to Song Guo?" ”
"Yes!" Ying Xuan nodded and replied.
After Zhao Kuangyin saw Ying Xuan nodding, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of play, and he immediately saw what Ying Xuan was thinking, and said, "It seems that Xuan Gongzi plans to open the Drunken Immortal Tower all over the world, and then distribute half of the dividends from the profits of various countries to the imperial court to keep safe?" ”
Open the drunken fairy building all over the world? Ying Xuan did have this idea, but he knew that with the current status of the Qin State, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to do this.
Drunken Immortal Building is no longer just an ordinary business, the benefits contained in it are like a huge piece of fat, which is enough for the countries to show the state of tigers and wolves, and they are desperate to pounce on it and bite it. And the Qin State is just a small ten-city country that is not recognized by the countries of Kyushu and has just become a ten-city country in less than half a month, and it has no ability to deter the countries at all.
was able to drive smoothly in the Song Kingdom for so long, or because of the alliance between Qin and Song. Even so, Zhao Kuangyin watched Zuixianlou exploit the wealth of the people of the Song Kingdom every day, and couldn't help but beat Ying Xuan at the banquet.
It can be said that Zuixianlou has no place in any country other than the Tang and Song dynasties!
These problems had already been thought of by Ying Xuan long before he opened the Drunken Immortal Tower. Therefore, his goal in the near future is only to open the Drunken Immortal Building in the Tang and Song dynasties and open one in the Yingdu of Chu State.
The Tang and Song dynasties opened only for profit, but the opening of the Drunken Immortal Building in Yingdu was for intelligence.
When the Qin State was first established, it was not convenient to exchange information with various countries, and the Chu State was on its side, and if it wanted to protect itself, it must be well-informed and make countermeasures in advance.
Moreover, the Drunken Immortal Building is a place where the powerful gather, and they can also find out some news of the party struggle in the court, and Ying Xuan saw Bai Yun on the boat that day and invited the talented people of Chu to gather together to discuss matters. Although Ying Xuan didn't know what they said later, it must be about measures against the clan and the clan forces, Bai Yunjing is one of the representative figures in the Chu court, since he dares to do this, he must get the consent of the Chu court, which means that the party struggle in the Chu country is about to break out, so it is inevitable to collect news!
As for the other problems, Ying Xuan believed that as long as the Qin State was strong, everything would be solved.
After listening to Zhao Kuangyin's words, Ying Xuan didn't fail to see the contempt on the corner of Zhao Kuangyin's mouth, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin thought that he didn't know the height of the sky, and he didn't take into account the consequences of the opening of the Drunken Immortal Mansion in various countries. But Ying Xuan didn't argue, he didn't want to be too smart in front of Zhao Kuangyin, so he said, "Yes, Xuan thinks that the wine of the Drunken Immortal Building, the wine is mellow, and it should be shared with the world!" ”
Hearing this, the ridicule at the corner of Zhao Kuangyin's mouth was even worse, and he sneered, "If the Drunken Immortal Building is opened all over the state and county, the profit of one year is enough to offset the tax of a country." Dare to ask Xuan Gongzi, which country's king would watch Xuan Gongzi's drunken immortal building so exploited? ”
Suddenly, Ying Xuan made a look of sudden realization, and asked humbly, "What is King Song's opinion?" ”
Seeing that Ying Xuan looked humbly asking for advice, Zhao Kuangyin nodded with satisfaction and said, "There is a single strategy, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”
Ying Xuan made an appearance of humbly asking for advice, and hurriedly said, "Please also ask King Song to teach me!" ”
"The reason why Zuixianlou can't gain a foothold in various countries is because of two reasons. First: The profits generated by the Drunken Immortal Building every year are huge, and the imperial court of any country will not let it go. Second: Now that the Qin State has been restored for less than half a month, in addition to the Tang and Song dynasties, it is estimated that the five nearby states of Wuyue, Fujian, Chen, Han, and Nanping have received news. The national strength of the Qin State was too weak to help the Drunken Immortal Tower deter the nations. ”
After speaking, Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Ying Xuan, and saw that he was not ashamed of his words, and continued, "I think that as long as the profit is lowered a little, and then the relationship between the upper and lower levels can be opened." If the Drunken Immortal Building wants to be opened for a longer time, it still needs a reliable backstage to support it, and this backstage, Qin Guo can't be it! Song Guo can't be either! ”
Ying Xuan originally thought that Zhao Kuangyin would pick up the opportunity to cooperate with him, but he didn't expect him to say so, so he said, "According to the meaning of King Song, except for the Chu State, no one in the Kyushu countries can shelter the Drunken Immortal Tower?" ”
"Otherwise, why don't I Song, Tang and Qin jointly develop the Zuixianlou, in this way, if the countries of Kyushu want to embezzle the interests of the Zuixianlou, they will have to weigh it."
When Zhao Kuangyin said this, he couldn't help but smile a little. Although he tried his best to suppress it, Ying Xuan still felt a touch of excitement from Zhao Kuangyin's smile.
Obviously, after Zhao Kuangyin drank Yingxuan's wine at the last banquet, he knew how vast the market of Zuixianlou would be in the future, and he couldn't help but suppress the excitement in his heart.
Of course, Zhao Kuangyin knew that even if the three countries jointly developed the Drunken Immortal Tower, although it was far easier than the development of the Qin family, it would never be possible to open all the countries of Kyushu, even if it was half. But even so, the benefits are enormous.
In addition to the 8 million taels of silver in taxes a year, the Song State also had maritime trade and salt and iron business, and the combined income was almost 30 million taels. And if the Drunken Immortal Building can really develop smoothly, Song Ting's annual income is very likely to be more than doubled.
In Ying Xuan's opinion, Zhao Kuangyin is not a simple person, but at the moment, with his state of mind, he can't help but reveal a frenzy in his eyes, which shows how attractive the Drunken Immortal Building is.
If it is said that some profits are distributed to the Tang and Song dynasties, Ying Xuan is acceptable. The first is that as Zhao Kuangyin said, it can make it easier for Zuixianlou to be carried out in the world, and the second is that the Tang and Song dynasties can use this money to develop their military strength on a large scale, so that in the face of the invasion of Chu a few years later, the chances of victory are greater.
Even if he thought so in his heart, Ying Xuan didn't plan to tell Zhao Kuangyin all the interests of the Drunken Immortal Building, and after thinking about it, Ying Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Reducing production is a must-do, but it's not for fear of attracting the eyes of the world, but the wine in my Drunken Immortal Building is a secret system, and the failure rate is extremely high, so it can't be supplied in large quantities." ”
Speaking of this, Ying Xuan saw that the expression on Zhao Kuangyin's face was slightly condensed, and said, "Xuan brought a thousand people from the island, and each of them is very familiar with the secret method, and even so, it can produce a thousand altars every month." ”
Zhao Kuangyin had already checked the area around Shiyun Town, and the people in the wine shop had to go back and forth to the dormitory every day, and Zhao Kuangyin had already known how many people there were. After hearing this, I believed seven or eight points in my heart.
Immediately, Zhao Kuangyin thought that the Qin State was only a land of ten cities, and if he really wanted to expand the Drunken Immortal Building in the future, where would he get the manpower production. "In this way, when the Drunken Immortal Building opens branches in the countries in the future, won't it be necessary to find more than 100,000 people to brew?" With all due respect, the Qin State shouldn't be able to take out so many people, why don't I give some from each of the Tang and Song dynasties and share the burden for your country? ”
Ying Xuan naturally understood Zhao Kuangyin's intentions, and also showed a smiling smile, and said, "King Song... It seems that until now, I have never said anything about agreeing to a joint venture..."
"Then ask Master Xuan now, would you like to let my Great Song Dynasty invest?" Zhao Kuangyin said half-jokingly, but his eyes were staring at Ying Xuan's eyes.
At this moment, Ying Xuan just looked at Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, and an inexplicable oppression came to his heart.
Although this feeling was suppressed by Ying Xuan in an instant, he was a little more jealous of Zhao Kuangyin in his heart. You must know that in his previous life, as a famous historian, Ying Xuan had been to lectures by 10,000 people, participated in world-class historical and cultural research conferences, and met national-level leaders. is such a person who can be regarded as having seen the world, but he is oppressed by the momentum of this man in front of him.
Ying Xuan's eyes looked down, avoiding Zhao Kuangyin's gaze, and when he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Kuangyin, his eyes were full of calmness, and there were no waves in the ancient well. After this, Ying Xuan realized that the dragon and phoenix among people are dragons and phoenixes after all, even if he knows history well, but in this chaotic pattern, he cannot raise the slightest sense of superiority.
"What does Master Xuan think?"
Zhao Kuangyin's tone was abruptly sharp, and his eyes were like sharp swords piercing Ying Xuan's heart!
Even if Ying Xuan calmed down the oppression in his heart, he couldn't help but beat wildly in his heart at this moment! This feeling is really beyond human control, just like an ordinary person who sees a star he has liked for a long time, his heart beats wildly, and his words are incoherent.
After all, Ying Xuan was a human being in two lives, his mind was calm, he suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said in a trembling voice, "Tang and Song are my allies of the Qin State, if the Drunken Immortal Mansion can really make money, the Qin State does not recommend taking Tang and Song with him." It's just..."
As he spoke, Ying Xuan heard an involuntary tremor in his throat, and even he didn't know whether he was deliberately pretending, or he couldn't help but be oppressed by Zhao Kuangyin's momentum.
But one thing Ying Xuan can be sure of is that his words and deeds have not been affected by this. He emphasized the word "two" in Fang Cai's words, in order to remind Zhao Kuangyin that this cooperation is mainly based on the Qin State.
Zhao Kuangyin is only in his early forties, and he can be the king in troubled times, and he doesn't know what kind of scheming the city government has, but he also saw through Ying Xuan's words at a glance, frowned slightly, but did not refute, but asked, "Just how?" ”
Ying Xuan's face was straight, and he said solemnly, "If Tang and Song want to invest in Drunken Immortal Building, they need to agree to Ying Xuan's three conditions. Otherwise, even if it was difficult for the Qin State to operate alone, it would not ask for help from the Tang and Song dynasties. ”
Zhao Kuangyin expected that the interests of Drunken Immortal Building were huge, and there would be three chapters of the law before he became a shareholder.
"Master Xuan might as well speak up! As long as the conditions are reasonable, Lone will definitely agree! While speaking, Zhao Kuangyin did not forget to remind Ying Xuan not to make excessive demands.
"One: All the wine in the Drunken Immortal Building is produced by my Qin State, and the wine party is also owned by my Qin State!"
Zhao Kuangyin nodded, he had expected that Ying Xuan would mention it here. After all, if the Qin State even knew the secret recipe for brewing wine by the Tang and Song Dynasties, then the Qin State would be of no use.
At that time, the Three Kingdoms did not need an alliance at all, and the Tang and Song dynasties could rely on the wine of Zuixianlou to open up the wine market and obtain huge profits to enrich the country and strengthen the army. After five years and eight years, it may not be impossible to resist the catastrophe of the Chu State.
