Chapter 232: Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents
30,000 taels of silver is less than 10% of the total investment, is it possible that the brewery that Li Feibai wants to build will cost more than 300,000 taels? That's 300,000 taels of silver, what a big distillery has to be built, and how much wine does it have to make in a year? Who is it sold to when all this wine is made?
Although there are lessons from the past of the iron smelting institute, Zhao Xuefei still can't help but beat the drum in his heart. After all, wine is not easy to sell, and the wine on the market is basically saturated. Those who have money drink famous wines such as Du Kang, Fenjiu, and Xifeng, and those who don't have money drink loose wine made by small workshops. Li Feibai has produced so much wine, if he wants to be famous or not, and the investment is so large, the price must be more expensive than that of loose wine, he really can't think of who will buy the wine they produce.
However, when he learned that Qian Zijun had invested tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Jiang Jingcheng and Liu Tilong had also invested tens of thousands of taels of silver, he still made up his mind to give the money to Li Feibai. If you want to earn the big guys together, you have to pay the big guys together, even if you really lose him in the end, he won't suffer. With the relationship with Qian Zijun, Jiang Jingcheng and Liu Tilong, he has an excuse to meet with the three of them from time to time, and he exchanged 30,000 taels of silver for three powerful backers, and this transaction can be made no matter how you look at it.
Li Feibai wanted to make wine, not on a whim, but because he had planned it for a long time. It's just that I didn't have any money before, and after visiting a small workshop to make shochu, I found that the distillation process was really backward, the amount of alcohol produced each time was too small, and the grain used in brewing was good and bad, which also led to the taste of the brewed wine being good and bad.
Now that he has money, Wang Dingyi has made advanced stills, and Zhao Xuefei secretly expressed the idea of making some money, so he put the matter of brewing wine on the agenda, as for how to sell the wine, he has his own way!
Li Feibai doesn't mind that others follow him to get rich together, it is better to be rich than rich, and many friends have many paths. Benefit sharing, risk sharing, if you really want to encounter unexpected things, the three of them can also contribute, why not. Therefore, when he decided to make wine, he sent invitations to Qian Zijun, Jiang Jingcheng, and Liu Tilong. The three of them soon sent someone to send silver, and he went to Zhao Xuefei, first, to meet Zhao Xuefei's desire to make money, and secondly, to have his parents and officials to take care of everything.
When all the money was in hand, he handed over the money to Tang Zilan and asked him to choose a site to build a winery and arrange for the purchase of grain. He went to Wang Ding's house, prepared to rush to the iron smelting station with Li Yanwen, and then discussed with the craftsmen how to build a few large and safe stills for brewing.
Li Yanwen has been getting closer to him recently, not for anything else, mainly because he introduced Li Shizhen to Tang Yin and asked Tang Yin to teach him to read.
Tang Yin's name Li Yanwen also knew that his son had to worship such a famous teacher, how could he not thank Li Feibai.
Tang Yin is a genius, and Li Shizhen is also a genius. Tang Yin didn't want to teach Li Shizhen. Being visited by Li Feibai to teach Hou Yanmin to paint has made him feel deceived, and then teaching Li Shizhen to read will make him not depressed. As soon as he talked to Li Shizhen, he fell in love with this little doll who was thorough at a glance, and taught Li Shizhen happily.
It's a pity that although Li Shizhen is smart, his mind is not on reading, but he is very obsessed with medicine. Tang Yin was not angry when he saw this, as if he saw his childhood self, at that time, he was not interested in reading, but was very obsessed with painting. He thought that with his own training, it would not be difficult for Li Shizhen to connect with Sanyuan, and then he would be ashamed of being falsely accused of cheating.
The three of them stayed in Hou Yanmin's courtyard for a long time, and Tang Yin was tired of teaching Li Shizhen to read, so he went to ask Hou Yanmin to paint. Sometimes, sitting on the recliner, looking at Hou Yanmin, who was concentrating on painting, and Li Shizhen, who hid the medical books under the Four Books and Five Classics, and peeked at them, they always fell asleep with a comforting look on their faces.
Li Feibai saw that Tang Yin's body was getting worse day by day a month ago, and the most obvious thing was that Tang Yin's spirit was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't walk, so he could only move slightly on crutches.
Today, he also specially invited Wang Dingyi to come and take a look, and after Wang Dingyi finished looking, he said: "The limit is coming, and there is no way to return to heaven!" It's just a few months of life, no more than a year. ”
Li Feibai and Tang Yin have been in a relationship for several months, and they were sad when they heard this. Out of the yamen, he walked towards Wang Ding's family, thinking about whether there was medicine to treat Tang Yin. But his box is basically medicine for healing, and there is no medicine for saving a lot. Thinking about it, he can only meet Tang Yin's satisfaction as much as possible at the last moment, no matter whether he eats, drinks or has fun.
Out of the city gate, Li Feibai looked into the distance, according to the day, Qin Meng should have arrived in the capital!
Qin Meng has arrived in the capital, but he can't enter the city when he enters the city gate.
Of the two carts he carried, one and a half carts were mirrors, and two boxes contained binoculars. When he was in Jiyuan, he pasted a seal, under the banner of an ordinary bronze mirror, and took the road guide all the way to the capital.
Because the goods are not the right version, every time he passes a checkpoint, in addition to the normal tax payment, he also secretly stuffs silver to the messenger who inspects the goods, even if he has no right to collect taxes, he will also secretly stuff silver to the people guarding the pass. Why did you do this, it wasn't for the sake of doing the errand that Li Feibai had confessed to without danger or danger!
But when I arrived in the capital, I still had a business trip.
The city gate he was going to enter was the South City Gate, and like other city gates, the guards of the city gate were the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Command Division, and the leader of the team was an official surnamed Zhang. He took the guide, paid the city gate tax, and secretly stuffed ten taels of silver to the official surnamed Zhang. When he was about to enter the city, a deputy commander surnamed Yu led his men and horses to inspect the city gate.
Seeing that his boss had arrived, Zhang Yan hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, but he didn't know how to do it, and the ten taels of silver fell from his sleeve. Deputy Commander Yu asked who gave the silver, and Zhang Yimu first said that it was his own, and after being whipped twice by Deputy Commander Yu, he confessed to Qin Meng.
Deputy Commander Yu called Qin Meng over and took the road guide for inspection. When he saw that the bronze mirror was written on the road guide, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth. Jiyuan is not a place where copper mirrors are produced, even if it is a place where copper mirrors are produced, how much can a copper mirror be sold for? How much do you make with two cars of copper mirrors? The shot is ten taels of silver, and there must be something wrong with these two truckloads.
Qin Meng repeated his old tricks, and hurriedly stuffed a large silver ingot of fifty taels into Deputy Commander Yu's hand.
Deputy Commander Yu was even more suspicious at this time, threw 50 taels of silver to the ground, and ordered people to surround the two carts to open the boxes and inspect the goods. The reason why he wanted to do this is because a few months ago, a deputy commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division found bows, crossbows, knives and guns and other weapons from a convoy that sent food to the city.
But the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and Yang Tinghe retired them from Jinyi and other guards. Those who cut off people's wealth and money have murderous parents. They were not angry for a while, so they bought weapons from outside the city and wanted to kill Yang Tinghe to vent their anger. Fortunately, he was found by the deputy commander, which allowed Yang Tinghe to escape.
Yang Tinghe praised the deputy conductor, and it didn't take long for the deputy conductor to become a conductor. This incident stimulated Deputy Commander Yu too much, and he also wanted to rely on this to be promoted to the next level, but he was unlucky, and he always had no chance. Today, seeing that Qin Meng is extremely strong, his heart moved, could it be that his opportunity has come?
Therefore, he decided that the box must be filled with weapons, even if he found a kitchen knife, he could make Qin Meng confess to the plot.
