143. Sudden visitors
After a while, Kasha came to the living room to meet with Li Xiang and the others. Although the two sides have not been friends for a long time, the relationship is already quite close.
Li Xiang and others came to discuss the further expansion of the output of the two joint brewing businesses, firstly, to return the cheats borrowed from the Kasha family.
Today, Prailly's main income is the production of brandy and whisky. On the premise of ensuring that the food rations of the people in the territory are sufficient, Kasha puts a considerable amount of grain and fruit into the winery as raw materials for winemaking, and now the new wine workshop has a monthly output of nearly 100 barrels (standard 50 liter barrels), of which 70% of the new wine will be put on the liquor market in the surrounding counties after three months of storage, and the remaining 30% will be stored for a long time to be sold as high-end liquor products in the future. However, the seventy percent of the output currently sold has tripled the monthly income of the Prairly Collar - and this is the net income after dividing the half of the total revenue that belongs to the Xuanyuan Adventure Group.
"Looks like we're making a lot of money." As the principal of one of the two partners, Li Xiang is naturally very happy about his investment returns, but in addition to being happy, Li Xiang is also vigilant about possible accidents. "However, if we continue to expand the output and coverage of our products, we will have to face many more problems. You know, maybe in Brettnia and the surrounding area, there is not a fool who has no eyes to dare to reach into the private pocket of a powerful local noble lord. However, once the wine spreads, and when some of the dignitaries realize the value of it, I'm afraid you'll soon start to feel the pressure from all sides. With all due respect, if you are not willing to give up this benefit to others, then please be careful about the safety of your territory. ”
The reason why Li Xiang bluntly expressed his opinions was not entirely because Kasha and his group were partners, but more for himself and his companions. There is a saying that 'wealth moves people's hearts', and the considerable income brought by brandy and whisky has greatly improved the strength of Prailly in all aspects in less than a year, which has to be said to be a credit of money. Building territories, recruiting talent, arranging defenses, building armaments, these tasks cannot be done without money. Although the nobles had all kinds of means of getting money, they spent more money than ordinary commoners. Therefore, the nobles are the richest group of people on the mainland, and they are also the most money-poor people. Because of this, the aristocracy often used all means to make money for their coffers.
And the huge benefits that Prailly's new wine can provide will naturally arouse the covetousness of those who have a heart. Many of these people were nobles of higher status, and after the influence of Xinjiu gradually spread to the southern part of the kingdom, the number of nobles visiting Kasha suddenly increased. Among them, there are many polite door-to-door visitors to seek cooperation, but there are also tough door-to-door requests for Kasha to give up the existence of new wine interests. And not only did they rob openly, but some aristocratic forces sent spies to infiltrate the Prairly Territory to steal the recipe and production process of the new wine. It's just that the Leopold family has the advantage of geography and people, and the opponent has never succeeded.
"Thank you for your concern." For Li Xiang's reminder, Kasha was naturally quite grateful. In fact, in the battle to send those Xiaoxiao gangsters who infiltrated the territory, the Xuanyuan Adventure Troupe's traversers also secretly helped many times, so that the attackers were never returned. Just those few shots, the strength shown made Kasha surprised and delighted. Surprised, naturally surprised by the strength of the people in the Xuanyuan Adventure Group. The joy is that the Leopold family has made such a strong team, and if they cooperate with each other, they will be able to achieve a win-win situation.
"In the future, Prellie will further absorb displaced people to expand its strength, and explained that I hope that Mr. Li Xiang and your companions will help to ensure the safety of Prellly." Kashya said enthusiastically.
"That's fine." Li Xiang happily agreed: "Praile is now our home, and we will naturally do our best for the stability of our homeland." ”
……
Just when Kasha and Li Xiang and the others were communicating enthusiastically, the door of the living room suddenly opened, and a steward walked quickly to Kasha's side and whispered to Kasha.
"Master Chasi is visiting?" Kashya whispered in surprise. "Why don't you invite the master in?"
"No, I'll just come in." Just as Kashya was about to order someone to receive the visitors, a rough voice suddenly came from outside the living room, and then the living room door was pushed open, and a man walked in. Behind the man, several servants followed helplessly.
"Yo, little Kasya. I'm here to bother. The man walked into the living room and greeted Kashya.
As lord of the Prairly Domain, Kasha Leopold's authority is unquestionable. I won't say what it is called in private. On the surface, ordinary people in the realm will respectfully call Kasha 'Lord Kasha' when they see him, and close subordinates or friends will call him 'Lord Kasha'. Even Mr. 'Varif Sebastian', the archdeacon of the family, who was Kasya's martial arts initiation instructor and had served the Leopold family all his life, would respectfully call Kasha 'Miss' in front of outsiders. It can be said that there is no one who directly calls 'Little Kasha' in front of Kasha's subordinates without any scruples.
Naturally, Li Xiang, Yang Qianyu and others looked at the person curiously, wanting to see what the origin of this unscrupulous person was.
I saw that the man was in his fifties from the physiognomy, about 1.85 meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick limbs, and a set of regular clothes on his body tightened. Through the clothes, you can see the solid chest and pectoral muscles, as well as the eight muscles in the abdomen that are clearly visible. It looks quite formidable.
Merely......
"I've seen a woman in the true sense of the word." Li Xiang swallowed his saliva and muttered to Yang Qianyu in a low voice.
"Hehe......" Yang Qianyu didn't answer, just laughed a few times in response.
That's right, the sturdy person who appeared in front of everyone was a lady, I saw that she had a goose egg face, although her facial features were not glamorous, but she could also be called delicate, and her golden shawl hair was casually tied into a short ponytail at the back of her head, and she looked quite capable.
"This is the legendary 'clear eyebrows, tiger back and bear waist', right?" Yang Qianyu said secretly: "I didn't expect to see such a dragon arrogant character after crossing......
"Aunt Chasi...... "Kasha can only respond with a wry smile to the way people who come to call themselves with a big grin." You're so carefree......"
"Huh? Are you entertaining guests? "After the visitor who was called 'Chasi' by Kasha said hello to Kasha, he realized that there were still Li Xiang and Yang Qianyu in the house. Knowing how much of her previous title made Kasha lose face in front of outsiders, she immediately told Kasha directly about the purpose of her visit, and at the same time deliberately changed her name.
"Lord Kasha, the raw materials for the new special weapon have been prepared this time, but the special quenching agent needed for forging still needs to be collected temporarily. In order to complete the task within the specified time, please arrange for someone to set off as soon as possible. ”
