Chapter 131: Whiskey! Ginger Ya's means!
After entrusting the territory to Zhuge Liang and Han Xin, Han Ji embarked on a journey to Zhivading with more than a dozen carts of weapons and armor.
These weapons and equipment were used to arm the 500 soldiers in the city of Zhivadin.
Unconsciously, the number of troops owned by Han Ji has exceeded 1,000 people.
This is not counting the mercenaries of the Glory Mercenary Group, after all, mercenaries are not the same as private soldiers.
Of course, with this number of people, nothing big can be done. However, it has been less than a year since Han Ji landed on the Calradia continent, and the speed of such development is already very amazing.
Now Han Ji's strength is definitely stronger than the average Earl of Shifeng, just by pulling out those combat-type heroes, he can top hundreds of soldiers.
The super commander partners with the unparalleled fierce generals, and then commands a vote of elite soldiers, which is enough to fight several times the enemy.
The way back was not too difficult, and after so many times of going in and out, a hidden path had already been stepped into the forest for horse-drawn carriages to walk.
At this time, it was October, and as Han Ji and his party were walking, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky, and then the snow became bigger and bigger, gradually dyeing the earth white.
Han Ji wore a high-quality mink fur cloak with shiny coat, rode on the body of Black Charcoal, and chatted with Tursky, who was walking beside him, about the affairs in Zhivading City.
It has been half a month since the whisky was on the market, and the characteristics of the whisky are that the wine is golden and pure like amber, smells of wheat, has a mellow and rich taste, and has an amazing alcohol concentration, so that everyone can know that this is a good wine and a spirit without tasting it with their own mouths.
The first whiskey was delivered to several young lords of the Nord kingdom, and their orders were made at a banquet in Sagoth.
At that time, Han Ji brought the crude distilled liquor of Sagoth for them to taste, the pure liquor and the amazing potency, and they placed an order at that time.
However, the number of them added up to 200 barrels, because the price given by Han Ji was 25 gold dinars per barrel.
This price is still a friendly price after several discussions, and it turns out that the price that Han Ji said is 30 dinars a barrel.
30 dinars, equivalent to the income of a skilled worker for 4 years, this is the same as the legendary 82-year Rafite, expensive, expensive to die!
No matter how expensive it is, a noble lord like Malail must still be able to afford it, just for Zhao Yun to repair Reyek, they will also give Han Ji some orders.
Naturally, after they got the wine, in addition to tasting it themselves, they naturally had to give some to their relatives and friends, after all, this is an expensive and excellent wine, and it is a very decent gift to give to others.
As a result, the whiskey spread to the upper class of the Nord kingdom, and then, the Nord lords, who were fond of spirits, were all captured by the whiskey, and once they drank the whiskey, the ale they used to cherish was completely tasteless, and became like garbage, difficult to swallow.
Therefore, it is natural that Malail and others, who own wine, immediately became fragrant and sweet, and made a lot of favors and benefits, and even just took out half of the wine, and earned all the wine money back.
Then, they immediately sent someone to bring a sea of gold dinars, all the way to the city of Zhivading, pulled away two thousand barrels of whiskey, and invisibly advertised the whiskey.
The treacherous and cunning Jiang Ziya followed this limelight and officially launched the whiskey, which instantly detonated the city of Zhivading and caused heated discussions in the city, and all the drunkards were talking about this sudden appearance of the best spirits, the amazing strength, pure liquor, and mellow taste were beyond their imagination.
So much so that even people who don't drink alcohol can know that there is a kind of liquor, the name is whiskey, which is a very tasty and expensive spirit.
This wine, from Sir Han, who joined the Kingdom of Vegia not long ago, is his family's secret wine, known as the world's first spirit, the eaux-de-vie.
The storm of the Nord Kingdom and Zhivading City talking about whiskey suddenly blew through the Kingdom of Vegia, and began to spread to the neighboring Kugit Khanate and the Svadia Kingdom.
made Han Ji's reputation begin to rise like a rocket for a while, soaring from a few hundred points of prestige to more than three thousand, making his charm bonus reach 7 points. This shows that hundreds of thousands of people have talked about his name and expressed initial agreement with it.
As the news spread, countless merchants immediately rushed towards Zhivading City like flies that smelled fish.
They found Han Ji's residence and wanted to buy whiskey and ship it back to China to sell it and make huge profits.
The idea of the merchants can be said to be the fulfillment of their wishes, or it can be said to be the failure of their wishes.
Because, Jiang Ziya stuck in the sales of whiskey, and shipped 200 barrels a day, and did not sell more, but still used the form of secret auction bidding, one offer, the highest bidder got it, and suddenly those merchants lost their temper.
Although they can still buy at a high price and then sell at a high price. However, there is not much profit margin in it, and it is not easy to grab enough wine, after all, there are so many people grabbing it, and the price is naturally even higher.
However, no one wants to give up the opportunity to buy it at auction, because the price of whisky is rising every day, and if you buy it today, sell it tomorrow, and you can make money immediately.
Naturally, some people noticed this situation, and some small merchants, or nimble townspeople, began to participate in it, and they scraped together 45 gold dinars to auction a barrel of wine, and the next day it changed hands and sold it for 46,47 yuans, and immediately made 1 or 2 dinars.
The people who made the money boasted of their wise investments in the tavern received a lot of admiring eyes from the melon-eating crowd, which greatly satisfied their vanity.
Whiskey has become the focus of heated discussions among the people, and if you talk to people, you don't know that whisky will be despised.
Every day, there are interesting facts about whisky, and the most common thing is about drunkenness.
Whisky is different from traditional ale wine, which is 4 or 5 times more powerful than ale, and when those who buy it, they can easily get drunk and unconscious, and make a lot of jokes.
Many drunkards who used to claim to be drunk after a thousand cups have all fallen on their heads this time.
However, despite some small situations, they have become more respectful of whisky, and they openly announced that the first best spirit in the mainland is whisky! This, in turn, aroused the curiosity of others to try it out.
However, the whiskey on the market has been swept away, and not many of the 200 barrels that flow out every day end up in Zhivading City, and for a time there are many people who have money to buy alcohol, which makes whisky a stearful commodity.
When whisky became synonymous with rare, expensive, and fine wines, the demand for whisky was enormous, whether it was tasting, selling or giving away, and they were eager to get it.
However, Jiang Ziya withstood the pressure with a tough attitude, and stuck to the sales method and quantity, so that those nobles and businessmen who wanted wine could only send favors to Han Ji, and those invitations were a proof of this.
Therefore, Tulsky will once again go to the territory to urge Han Ji to go to Zhivading City to deal with these things, after all, the higher the identity of the person who is sent, the more valuable it is.
"Taigong's hand is really amazing!" After listening to Tursky's words, Han Ji clapped his hands excitedly and said in admiration.
"With a mere whiskey, it has made waves in the Kingdom of Virginia, and even on the entire continent! This kind of method of seeing the big from the small and pushing the boat down the river is worthy of the title of his soldier saint and ancestor! Han Ji didn't expect that just by selling wine, Jiang Ziya could also sell it for flowers, so that Han Ji could easily gain fame and fortune.
