Chapter 62: Entering Beijing
Chapter 62
No one in the Bai family expected that the wine tasting would be such a huge success, and the hundred bottles of wine were sold out on the spot.
A bottle of 1,000 silver, a hundred bottles is 100,000, which is much more profitable than papermaking.
And many of those who bought the wine have increased their orders, and it seems that the Bai family will have to work overnight to make this wine in the next period of time.
In this way, there is not enough manpower, and we need to recruit people again, because the Bai family is very good, and there is an endless stream of applicants for a while.
After obtaining Li Ling's consent, Bai Qi taught this brewing technique to Steward Zhang, who was responsible for the brewing of Baijia liquor.
Jiang Feng was in charge of papermaking, Steward Zhang was in charge of winemaking, Bai Qi and Bai Ting were in charge of dealing with various external matters, and the Bai family's business was getting better day by day.
...。
Some time ago, Zhou Bin came here thousands of miles to treat Bai Qi, and last time the three sects of Hongxuanmen and Fengqimen came to ask the Bai family for a commission, and Meng Yi helped solve it.
Moreover, the Bai family's business is so prosperous now, and there is no embarrassment in various places, in addition to the fact that the Bai family's products are unique in this world, it also has a lot to do with Meng Yi's greetings in all aspects.
In addition, Meng Yi sent so much silver to make entanglements last time he went out of Beijing, and the Bai family really owed General Meng Yi too much favor.
Now that it's developed, I have to thank it.
Bai Qi is going to go to the capital to thank Meng Yi, and by the way, he will open up the market in the capital and purchase some things.
You must know that Jingshi is a gathering of high-ranking officials and wealthy people, not comparable to a small place like Zoucheng, and the sales of liquor brewed by the Bai family in the capital will definitely be in short supply.
Knowing that Meng Yi likes wine, Bai Qi asked Steward Zhang to make dozens of jars of good wine with high-quality raw materials, and when he went to the capital, he took it with him and gave it to Meng Yi.
Bai Qi asked Li Ling if he wanted to go, Li Ling thought about it and agreed.
Now that everything in the Bai family is on the right track, and he has nothing to do here, it is better to follow Bai Qi to the capital to play, on the one hand, it is also to protect Bai Qi.
The day before leaving, Bai Feng came to Li Ling and mentioned the bet.
According to the bet agreement, she lost and had to wash Li Ling's clothes for a month.
Li Ling's actual age is older than Bai Feng, and besides, the seniors are placed there, and they will not be as knowledgeable as the juniors, and it was just a joke that day, how could it be taken seriously.
"Miss Feng, I was just joking with you that day, don't take it seriously. Li Ling smiled and took a set of two books that had been sorted out and handed them to Bai Feng, "This is the set of military body fists that I have sorted out in the past few days, which have been re-altered and the defects in them have been removed, and there is also a simple body refining method, which is just compiled together." ”
His set of body refining exercises was compiled according to some methods of refining the body on the Nine Trapping Dragons, and they were all simple and easy to learn, but as long as he insisted on practicing all year round, it would be easy to advance to a martial arts master after ten years.
"Remember not to pass on this body refining technique to outsiders. Li Ling saw that Bai Feng was a little absent-minded, so he solemnly explained.
"I see. Bai Feng stretched out his hand to take it and glanced at Li Ling leisurely.
Before she came, she had mustered up a lot of courage and was ready to wash Li Ling's clothes, but now she didn't have to fulfill the gambling contract, and she actually felt a little lost.
Bai Feng took the two books given by Li Ling back to the inner courtyard, Bai Ran saw it, and said with a smile: "Third sister, why are you back?
"He said he was joking with me. Bai Feng was not very interested, and gave her the two books in his hand, saying that it was a boxing method and a body refining method compiled by Li Ling.
Hearing this, Bai Qi and Bai Ting were also interested, and Bai Qi took a copy of the boxing method and looked at it.
The look on his face became more and more solemn, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his hands were still gesturing in mid-air.
"This trick can still be used like this, removing two superfluous movements, but it is even more powerful. ”
"This punch is simplified, but there are three more at once, it is so powerful, it is unstoppable when it is displayed against the enemy. ”
Bai Qi looked shocked and exclaimed: "The power of this improved set of military body fists is simply one heaven and one underground than the last Dacheng, and it can be used as the secret of our Bai family." ”
"He told not to pass it on to outsiders. Bai Feng remembered Li Ling's explanation and said immediately.
Over there, Bai Ran looked through the body refining method but was confused, she couldn't understand it.
"Sixth brother, look at this body refining technique, I don't understand. ”
Bai Qiqi nodded and took a look, and after a while, he said with some uncertainty: "I don't see anything special about this body refining technique, but I vaguely feel that this body refining technique is more powerful than that military body boxing." ”
"Third sister, fifth sister, third brother, let's study it together. Bai Qi said and greeted the three of them.
Bai Ting and Bai Ran came to watch, but Bai Feng said, "Sixth brother, look, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll go back first." ”
Bai Qi didn't care about Bai Feng's abnormality, he was now all focused on the exercises in his hands, but Bai Ran stared at Bai Feng's back thoughtfully.
Bai Ran: "The third sister seems to have something on her mind? I see how she is depressed, isn't she just losing the gambling contract? Li Ling didn't let her fulfill the gambling contract, why is she unhappy." ”
......
On the second day, a row of carriages stopped at the door of Bai's house, and the servants kept loading the carts with things, and Bai got up to check back and forth to make sure that nothing was left behind.
Li Ling is still dressed as a servant, but his salary is much higher than that of other servants, and he is specially equipped with a horse.
Now the servants of the Bai family also know that liquor was invented by Li Ling, and papermaking was also passed on to Jiang Feng by him, and now everyone can receive so much salary every month, all because of his two inventions.
Everyone finally understood the reason why Li Ling didn't work all day, and their attitude towards him changed greatly, and many servants began to affectionately call him Brother Li.
All kinds of items were loaded into the carriage, and a group of people set off in a mighty manner, this time in addition to Li Ling, there were also fifteen young servants from Lisuo.
These more than ten servants were taken in by the Bai family together with Li Ling, and the Bai family rescued them from danger, not to mention loyal, and these people will follow the Bai family's children to practice martial arts on weekdays, and their skills are very good, enough to deal with some unexpected things.
There was nothing to say all the way, it took more than ten days to arrive in the capital, Bai Qi has been about ten months since leaving the capital, standing under the towering city gate, there is a feeling that things are not people, especially strange.
Soon the group came to the general's mansion, and the general's old housekeeper knew Bai Qi and hurriedly welcomed everyone into the mansion.
Meng Yi was very happy when he heard it, and he came out to meet him.
Zhou Bin also came, and he was very happy to see that Bai Qi had recovered as before.
Meng Yi asked about the development of the Bai family, and Bai Qi asked about the war with Wei and Han a few days ago.
Listening to his war, Meng Yi sighed, and seemed to be reluctant to mention it, and when it came to the military strength of the Qin State, he shook his head and expressed deep worries about the future of the Qin State.
Now in the officialdom of the Qin State, cronyism, gangs, and jealousy have caused chaos up and down, and even the army has learned this unhealthy atmosphere.
All kinds of relationships are intertwined, and the soldiers who have the ability but have no relationship with the development of the soldier have no hope, so they will naturally choose to leave home, leaving behind the ordinary wine bags and rice bags and the people who have a whisker and shoot horses, and it is strange that this combat effectiveness can be strong.
Meng Yi also mentioned in his speech that he has been investigating the matter of framing Bai Sheng's rebellion, and he already has some eyebrows, and he will definitely be able to return Bai Sheng's innocence when the time comes, and say that Bai Qi can return to the barracks and join forces with him to rectify the Great Qin army and reproduce the mighty lion of the past.
Bai Qi also stayed in the military camp, and he deeply sympathized with what Meng Yi said about the chaos in the army, but he did not express his opinion on Meng Yi's desire to get him into the army again, and his father Bai Sheng was framed by traitors, so that he had decided that he would not join Rong again in this life.
Seeing that at noon, Meng Yi asked people to hold a banquet to catch the wind for Bai Qi, and during the banquet, Bai Qi took out the wine brewed for Meng Yi to taste.
Meng Yi had already heard that the Bai family had just made a kind of wine, which seemed to be very special, and when he drank it, he was amazed and praised it.
Meng Yipin's such a good wine, but there was a faint regret in his heart, the Bai family could make such a good wine, how could he not become a rich party in the future, it seems that it is impossible to let Bai Qi return to the military camp in the future.
