Chapter Ninety-Two: The Family Feast

Huang Sanlie's words expressed several meanings to Li Chen'an:

First, as a grain supplier of this peach blossom brew, Cai Zhengyao is facing a problem in the purchase of autumn grain.

If Cai Zhengyao can't buy grain, if the grain in the entire Guangling City is monopolized by Shen Qianshan, then Li Chen'an, a winemaking workshop, will face a situation where there is no grain available.

Second, the marriage between the Huo family and the Cao family in Pingjiang City will be more powerful, after all, the old lady of the Cao family used to be the emperor's nurse, and the Cao family can stand in the south of the Yangtze River to weave this fat shortage, which is enough to show the importance of the Cao family's status in the emperor's heart.

Third, if the Huo family marries the Shen family, they will be able to master the grain market in Guangling City through the Shen family.

Of course, his family's Guanglingsan has sufficient raw materials, and the rest of the wine merchants, big and small, will all act according to the Huo family's face.

Li Chen'an's eyebrows frowned slightly, his hands rested on the stone table, his middle finger and index finger twitched rhythmically, and suddenly stopped.

"Lao Huang, where are the people you left behind in Yanqiu Mountain?"

Huang Sanlie looked at Li Chen'an's three breaths, stroked his long beard and smiled: "Shuzhou...... How are you going to break the game without my people?"

"There are a lot of bandits in our Ning country, I don't think I'm the one who is missing, I will rob Shen Qianshan's grain. ”

"Then why not?"

"Because I hope that Shen Qianshan can buy the grain with the highest price, and then rob him!"

"So you will let Cai Zhengyao still go to various places in Jiangnan to collect grain to raise the price of grain?"

"Yes, I need your people to quietly send food here from Shuzhou. ”

"But the grain of Shu is ripe in August, and it will be purchased from all over the country and then transported to Guangling City, even if it is by water, it will take three months from beginning to end. If Cai Zhengyao folds in Jiangnan in these three months...... How did this brewery survive those three months?"

Li Chenan grinned: "So I'm fighting the idea of Shen Qianshan's granary now." ”

Huang Sanlie also laughed, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, Li Chenan asked curiously: "Old Huang, why did you get your people from outside the customs to Shuzhou?"

"Not what I meant?"

"Who's meant?"

"Old Madam Fan. ”

Li Chenan was stunned, Mrs. Fan asked the bandits under Huang Sanlie to go to Shuzhou, what does this mean?

"Shuzhou is a good place!"

"Although Shu Road is difficult to walk, there are pros and cons, it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack!"

"It's a long way from Kyoto, so the emperor doesn't pay much attention to that place, and the imperial court neglects to manage it. ”

"That place is rich in natural resources, and the natural conditions are unique, but it is surrounded by mountains, full of miasma, and there are many tribes in it, and it is extremely warlike, so Shuzhou is not peaceful. ”

Li Chenan asked, "Then what are your people doing there?"

"Oh, just subdued a few tribes and continued to be bandits. ”

“...... Good profession, then the matter of buying grain from Shu will be handed over to you!"

"Good!"

After a pause, Huang Sanlie looked at Li Chenan again and said, "I thought that I could establish a wine-making workshop in Shuzhou, and the people of Shu are also good at wine, and the young master's wine will inevitably sell well." ”

"You call the shots in this matter, I really don't have that much energy. ”

"Okay, but let's talk about it in front, the wine in Shuzhou, the third lady also accounts for fifty percent of the profits. ”

"My people are 20 percent, and you are 30 percent. ”

"How?"

Of course Li Chenan has no opinion, he can't afford to develop the market in Shuzhou, not to mention that the third lady is also his?

As for Huang Sanlie's people, they want to account for 20%, and if they want to make those people contribute willingly, of course, they have to be beneficial.

"Deal!"

"Okay, then I'll do this according to this meaning, when are you going to launch our peach blossom brew in Guangling City?"

Three days later, on the eighth day of the sixth month. ”

"The two shops in the West Market and the East Market are ready, but the price of this peach blossom brew is ...... Are you really going to sell it for three hundred and fifty pounds?"

Li Chen'an nodded, "Guangling sells for two hundred and fifty wen a catty, Kyoto Ruilu sells for three hundred and fifty wen a catty, our peach blossom brew is better than Ruilu, and it also sells for three hundred and fifty wen a catty, although it is one hundred wen more expensive than Guangling San, you believe me, those drinkers are willing to spend an extra hundred wen." ”

"What we want is small profits but quick turnover, in fact, you know this profit, as long as the sales are opened, it is a steady stream of silver back!"

“...... If it's Guanglingsan, the price will be reduced?"

"Then let's also reduce the price, and always keep it more expensive than fifty to one hundred yuan!"

"Good. ”

"How much alcohol can I make in a day now?"

After the other two workshops are put into operation, they will be able to produce about 5,000 catties per day. ”

"How long will the food last?"

Cai Zhengyao said that the autumn grain can be guaranteed. ”

"You ask Cai Zhengyao to transport all the grain in his granary to our workshop to prevent changes. ”

“...... Good!"

Huang Sanlie got up, "I'll send someone to do it!"

Huang Sanlie left, Li Chenan thought for a moment and got up and went to Peach Blossom Villa.

Wu Xichen was sitting under the gazebo in the front yard, and when he saw him coming, he handed over a letter:

"Third Miss letter, for you. ”

Li Chenan looked at the beautiful hairpin on the envelope, showed a smile, and carefully put the letter into his arms, "Lao Huang, go, go home!"

......

......

Shen Mansion.

Shen Qianshan's study.

The fire on the tea stove on the coffee table in the study has been extinguished, and the water in the teapot on the tea stove has cooled.

The atmosphere here was a little dull, so much so that Shen Qianshan felt a little hot.

Sitting across from him was Huo Xi, the head of the Huo family.

Huo Xi was holding a dry tobacco in his mouth, the tobacco leaves in the smoke pot had been burned, he did not shake off the ashes in the smoke pot, but looked at Shen Qianshan with an indifferent face.

"That's not what the old man meant!"

Huo Xi sat up straight, and said: "Shufan's father came with a letter, this is an accident, of course, this is good news for Shufan and our Huo family, it's just ...... It's just that the Shen family master needs some time to get used to. ”

Bai Yang said in the letter that the last time Shufan went to Kyoto, the daughter of the noble lady, that is, Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, was interested in Shufan, and intended to recruit Shufan as a concubine. ”

"You know this, originally this concubine could not take a concubine, but Bai Yang also knew that there was already a love between Shu Fan and Ling Qianjin, so Bai Yang begged His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to visit Concubine Li for this matter. ”

"Of course Concubine Li disagreed, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince begged the emperor, and the emperor opened up and allowed Shu Fanna to have a concubine!"

"Master Shen, the old man is all he says, your family Qiaodie is a concubine for Shufan...... It didn't hurt her!"

Huo Xi stood up and beckoned to Huo Chuanming, who was sitting on the side, "If the Shen family feels wronged, then this matter will end here." ”

He took two steps to the door and said again: "Don't forget that Ling Qianjin used to be the one who had a marriage contract, and now she has returned the marriage letter...... But the reputation is not so flawless after all. ”

He walked to the door and left another sentence: "Shufan will leave for Kyoto in three days to meet Concubine Li...... Therefore, in the past two days, the head of the Shen family will reply to the old man!"

He left with Huo Chuanming, and a person walked out from behind the screen.

She is Shen Qiaodie.

She pear blossoms bring rain.

She looked at Shen Qianshan and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Father, my daughter agrees!"
