Chapter 699 Dongfang Bai
Hearing Dongfang Bai's pertinent answer, Shangguan Qiuyu nodded, and then said:
"This wine is very strong, only the Northland spirits are comparable to it, and Brother Dongfang also knows that the younger brother's grandfather, Zhenguo Gong, is very good at this appetite.
And my Shangguan family is a family, most of them are military warriors, and all the soldiers are also good at this wine, and every year my Shangguan family spends a lot on this wine.
Therefore, the younger brother deliberately studied it, so he made this wine.
However, in the land of the five states of southern Xinjiang, the two must also know that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the grain needed for brewing is very huge, and it needs to be purchased in the Central Plains.
And the Ding family said that his family has countless grains, and at the same time, the Ding family has channels to purchase grain in the Central Plains.
Now he is even more willing to move his family to my Shangguan family, such a good thing, the younger brother is overjoyed. ”
With Shangguan Qiuyu's narration, Dongfang Bai's face on the side became more and more ugly, but Shangguan Qiuyu deliberately ignored this detail.
deliberately didn't look at Dongfang Bai's increasingly ugly expression, but fortunately, Dongfang Bai deserved to be the descendant of the Dongfang family.
Although now because of his age, he can't do the so-called joy and anger, but he can also control his temper well.
did not interrupt Shangguan Qiuyu, let alone give Shangguan Qiuyu a face, except that his face was a little ugly at first, and then gradually returned to normal.
In line with the idea of striking while the iron is hot, Shangguan Qiuyu directly asked Xuanyuan Jing on the side:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, although the Ding family has taken refuge in my Shangguan family, I heard that his father, for some reason, was imprisoned in Yucheng Prison by Yucheng Order.
Now, grandpa is about to go on an expedition, and the Ding family has shown that the Ding family is willing to fund the western expedition to provide food and grass for the army, just to atone for his father's sins, I don't know what His Highness wants?"
As soon as Shangguan Qiuyu's words fell, Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and exclaimed, "Is this serious?"
Seeing Shangguan Qiuyu nodding, Xuanyuan Jing immediately asked Shangguan Qiuyu again for verification:
"Is the Ding family really willing to supply the old general's army to the west?"
Xuanyuan Jing was overjoyed, but he didn't notice that Dongfang Bai, who was already light, changed his face in an instant.
It's no wonder that Xuanyuan Jing is excited, after all, there are two million soldiers in the Western Expedition, and the food and grass required are incalculable, where do ordinary people come from.
That is, a big merchant like the Dongfang family can gather so much military rations in a short time.
Although it is good for the Dongfang family to supply all the grain and grass they need, it does not mean that the Dongfang family will send grain to the imperial court in vain.
Although these military rations came from the Dongfang family, they needed the imperial court to spend money to buy them from the Dongfang family.
Of course, this is cheaper than the market price in terms of price, but no matter how cheap it is, it also requires the court to buy it with real money.
Now, some people have voluntarily contributed to the supply of food and grass for the army of the Western Expedition, and Xuanyuan Jing, as the prince of Dayu, is happy for him.
Where is there a reason to refuse, as for what Ding's father committed, he didn't take it to heart, believing that as long as the other party is not a rebellion.
It's not a big deal to get someone out of prison on your own.
Shangguan Qiuyu pretended to think about it for a while, and then said:
According to legend, the Yucheng Ding family is the first of the five major merchants after the four major merchants.
Besides, how can anyone in my Shangguan family dare to deceive, if the Ding family can't get the food by then, I will definitely let his family be ruined and killed, and the family will be destroyed. ”
As he spoke, the evil qi on Shangguan Qiuyu's body couldn't help but be released instantly, shocking Xuanyuan Jing and Dongfang Bai beside him.
Shangguan Qiuyu was full of murderous aura, which shocked Dongfang Bai on the side.
Originally, he wanted to stir up the relationship between the Ding family and him, but now when he saw Shangguan Qiuyu being so murderous, he was a little drumming in his heart.
Xiao Jiujiu, who was originally in his heart, wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say in an instant.
Although Shangguan Qiuyu's murderous aura was obvious, it was only fleeting, and after seeing Dongfang Bai's unnatural face, he immediately raised his glass and drank the wine in the cup.
Without leaving the slightest time for Dongfang Bai to react, he immediately said to Xuanyuan Jing:
"This matter still needs the help of His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants?"
After speaking, Shangguan Qiuyu stared at Xuanyuan Jing in front of him, and there was a hint of persecution in it.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Jing glanced at Dongfang Bai beside him, and saw that his face was not very good, which made Xuanyuan Jing suddenly realize, and he was entangled for a while and didn't know how to answer.
He hadn't heard about the Dongfang family's deal with the Ding family, after all, the Dongfang family hadn't thought about making a fuss about this matter.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Jing hesitated about the fact that the Ding family originally supplied the grain and grass for the army of the Western Expedition, if he agreed to the Ding family to take over, he was afraid that he would offend the Dongfang family and cause them to be dissatisfied with him.
As early as before, when Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng decided to go west, the Dongfang family had already begun to mobilize the grain and grass needed for the westward expedition army.
If you take the liberty of putting it aside at this moment, there is a way to cut off people's money and wealth like killing their parents.
In this way, if this matter is not handled well, it will not be beautiful for the Dongfang family and the imperial court to have a suspicion at that time.
Just when Xuanyuan Jing hesitated and Dongfang Bai was silent, Shangguan Qiuyu had no choice but to put Xuanyuan Jing down and said to Dongfang Bai on the side:
"Brother Dongfang, I don't know that once this wine is launched, it will be welcomed by the world?"
Dongfang Bai, who was originally a little unhappy with Shangguan Qiuyu cutting off his own financial route, heard Shangguan Qiuyu ask, and it was not easy to give him a face.
straightened his face, and after thinking about it carefully, he said:
"This wine is very strong, and the people of the Central Plains or the South will not drink much.
However, for the sergeant or the Northland, this wine is bound to be very popular. ”
In today's world, good wine is mainly mellow, although there are occasional strong wines, but there is a little less spicy in them.
And the wine purified by Shangguan Qiuyu is exactly what the post-secular name is called a burning knife, and it is like burning in the stomach after a mouthful.
The people of the Northland and the grasslands are fierce, and they must like this spirit.
Therefore, as a descendant of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Bai listened to what Shangguan Qiuyu said after drinking this wine, and a crisis went straight to his heart.
You must know that although Dongfangjia is mainly engaged in grain, in the same way, in the winemaking industry, Dongfangjia has not pulled down.
After all, the Shangguan family has the grain needed to make wine, so it is natural that they will be close to the water and get the moon first.
Now, while the Shangguan family has rescued the Ding family, they are preparing to launch this spirit, which is very popular with the people of the Northland.
In this way, Dongfang Bai no longer has a good impression of Shangguan Qiuyu, and in addition to jealousy, there is a trace of hatred.
No matter what Shangguan Qiuyu thought, Dongfang Bai thought that this was the Shangguan family deliberately targeting the Dongfang family where he was.
You must know that the foundation of the Oriental family is the two industries of grain and winemaking.
These two industries earn a lot of money for the Dongfang family every year, and now the Shangguan family is supporting the Ding family who are against their own family.
Then, he was ready to snatch his own position in the brewing industry, which was simply a direct declaration of war against his own Oriental family.
