Under the call of Li Yao, the fat man explained the things in his hand, and hurried back, it was half a month later when he returned to Yi County, this half a month, Li Yao was not idle, and Li Yao was not idle for the training of the grenade brigade and artillery regiment, although the outside world thought that Li Yao was playing, of course, Li Yao also wanted to let the outside see that he was a completely harmless person, so that he could be surprised!

In addition to training the army, Li Yao started to make wine, and it took a few days to buy basically all the wine in Yi County, which made Wang Changzhu have a little stomachache, and spent a full hundred thousand taels of silver in the past few days. Li Yao patted Wang Changzhu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Changzhu, don't worry, this 100,000 taels of silver will give birth to a child in a short time, and it will become 200,000 taels, 300,000 taels, or even more!" ”

Wang Changzhu said respectfully: "Master Hou, I know this, Master Hou wine is really immortal wine, if you sell it, it will definitely be no problem to make money back!" ”

Li Yao said solemnly: "Changzhu, in the future, the affairs of the winery will be handed over to you, I will hand over the method of producing wine to you, and I will give you a company of people to protect the winery, if anyone dares to leak the secret of winemaking, they will be killed." ”

Wang Changzhu nodded vigorously, "Master Hou, don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter, and I will do it well." ”

Li Yao thought to himself: "This winery is the capital of my future development, and it is also a treasury, and I can only rest assured if it is handed over to the most loyal to me, and Wang Changzhu is the best candidate." ”

It only took five days, under the management of Wang Changzhu, the distillery had been renovated, and the distiller built by the king of craftsmen was also sent early, so the distillery began to operate.

Wine is flammable, especially Hou Ye wine, 56 degrees of alcohol, when it is fired, it is not allowed to work, so once it gets dark, it is not allowed to work, for this Li Yao also made a wine shop management regulations, Wang Changzhu praised after reading the wine shop management regulations: "Hou Ye is talented, such a comprehensive management method can be written!" ”。

Li Yao also blushed very angrily because of this, these were all stolen from his previous life. It's a bit embarrassing to be complimented.

Now that the matter of the wine shop has been solved, then I have to find the problem of sales, although there is a fat man in charge of business, but he will definitely not be able to sell alone.

Hou Ye wine is quite famous in Yi County, because Li Yao's wedding, what he drank was Hou Ye wine, Hou Ye got married, and all the local tyrants and squires in the county came to participate without exception. Therefore, many local tyrants and squires also want to drink Hou Ye wine, in their words, since they drank Hou Ye wine, their own wine is as bad as urine!

Regarding sales, Li Yao considered that he had limited manpower, so he chose the method of an agent in his previous life! It must be very slow to sell wine by yourself, if each county chooses an agent, it will be much more convenient, you can not only collect agency fees, but also sell wine quickly. This is definitely a better way for Li Yao, who is now in dire need of manpower!

Since he thought of the method of agents, Li Yao couldn't wait to go to the county order to discuss, after all, the method of agents has not been tested, so I don't want to be too excited, first call the rich businessmen and tyrants in several nearby counties to try the effect, if the effect is good, it can be promoted nationwide!

After Li Yao finished telling the county commander his thoughts, the county commander was surprised and said, "Master Hou, if you are not a noble lord, I almost believe that you are a shrewd businessman!" ”

Li Yao smiled, and the county order immediately covered his mouth, and apologized: "Master Hou, I lost my words, how can such a lowly person as a businessman compare with Master Hou!" ”

Li Yao persuaded: "I don't blame you, if I wasn't the Hou Ye, I would like to go into business myself." ”

Seeing that Li Yao didn't look like he was joking, the county magistrate put his mind at ease and said, "Master Hou, I will do what you have told me immediately, first gather all the businessmen from the five nearby counties, and set a bidding meeting in Yi County next month!" ”

Although Song Boming doesn't understand what a bidding meeting is, Song Boming knows that the time has come for him to get rich, he knows how delicious Hou Ye's wine is, he doesn't believe that this kind of wine will not sell well, if it is sold, it will definitely be that rich businessmen from all over the country will come here to buy wine, and Yi County will definitely change from an agricultural county to a commercial county at that time.

The commercial tax is very heavy in Qi country, the status of merchants is relatively low, and the king of Qi is more heavy on agriculture and suppresses business, so the agricultural tax is very light, but the army has to spend, and it is not okay if there is less money, and the agricultural tax is very light, so the commercial tax can only be collected very heavy.

King Qi was not at all worried that the heavy commercial taxes would affect the rights and interests of the local tyrants and gentry. King Qi was very domineering, he once said: "In my country, everything is up to me!" "It turned out that because of the problem of commercial tax, King Qi cut off the heads of many local tyrants and squires, when the founding of the People's Republic of China, King Qi was definitely an iron-blooded person, and the local tyrants and wealthy businessmen in various counties actually had no confidence to compete with it, and since then, the commercial tax has been extremely high.

Yi County is not a completely agricultural county, it also has commercial trade, here is beneficial to the country, the Uighurs and other countries of the caravans, Yi County is equivalent to a transit point. Therefore, Song Boming knew that if business rose in Yi County, Yi County would collect a lot of commercial taxes, although no matter how much tax was collected, the money would be Ninghou's, but the county government would have money, and the welfare would definitely change!

It's very simple to contact the local tyrants and squires in the five nearby counties, Song Boming only needs to find each county order and send a few bottles of Hou Ye wine, and then let the local county order issue a notice, and that's it!

The bidding will be set for next month, Yixian County's winery has been fully put into production, a day can probably make 3,000 catties of Hou Ye wine, the cost price per catty is about 20 Wen, under the suggestion of the fat man, sell 200 Wen a catty, a jar of five catties of wine will be sold for one or two silver, which is definitely not cheap.

The fat man ran back on the tenth day after the brewery was built, and looking at the time, the fat man rushed over with all his might.

Li Yao asked: "Fatty, the price of this wine is ten times higher than the cost price, will it be easy to sell?" ”

After the fat man took a sip of Hou Ye's wine, he sighed: "Big brother, let me be honest with you, I really don't want to sell a catty of this wine for 200 yuan, if we don't need to return the funds as soon as possible, I would rather set this catty of wine at one or two silver, and it will be supplied in limited quantities!" ”

Li Yao said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the output of this wine is large, it only needs to be distilled, we can do a few new tricks at that time, and then sell it more expensive!" ”

The fat man smiled: "Big brother, you and I have thought of a piece, we are short of money, two hundred wen a pound of Hou Ye wine can help us earn back, but in the future, the price of wine, we have to set a higher price, otherwise it will really be featureless!" ”

Li Yao asked, "What do you think of the agent I told you?" I have already asked the county magistrate to call the rich squires of the five surrounding counties, and at the beginning of next month, a bidding meeting will be held! ”

The fat man exclaimed: "Big brother, what I admire most is your idea, agents, this is really a good idea, we are short of manpower, it is impossible to promote quickly, but with your agents, you can not only receive agency fees, but also stabilize sales, this is really a good way to make money!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Okay, since you agree with it so, then the matter of the bidding meeting will be handed over to you, give you three days, and give me a good plan!" ”

The fat man patted his chest and promised: "Big brother, just wrap this little thing on me!" ”
