Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 149 Eight Treasure Wine

Unexpectedly, Chinchilla shook its head as if someone had stepped on its tail, and then ran away without saying goodbye for the first time.

Shi Zhongkui was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

Ri Youshen hesitated for a moment, then explained in a low voice, "My lord, besides the grass and trees, the spirits with enlightened intelligence are the ones who look down on the same kind of muddle-headed monsters the most.

Even the little god has actually seen many spirit monsters devouring the same kind in the past few hundred years. "

so brutal?

Shi Zhongkui thought about it carefully, and felt that it was actually very easy to understand.

Just like many successful monks, they don't treat ordinary people as human beings at all.

The next day Xue Pan and Jia Lian came to the door and brought back two bottles of medicinal wine that Shi Zhongkui ridiculed as strong wine to experiment.

The next day, Jia Lian's expression was a little unhappy.

What I drank before was not only added with 2.5 grams of spirit peach wine, but also full of medicinal effects.

Now that he drank the 10 times diluted Chenghuang Medicinal Wine, which was officially appointed by Shi Zhongkui as the Eight Treasure Wine, the effect was of course much worse.

When dealing with Wang Xifeng, it doesn't have the same effect as before.

Xue Pan was very excited, because what he drank the day before yesterday was medicinal wine diluted 10 times.

Now the eight-treasure wine is mixed with a lot of medicinal materials grown in the space farm, which can revive people's glory, and in his opinion, the effect is of course much stronger.

"Brother, this kind of wine costs 10 taels of silver per catty, and some people are willing to buy it. I will pay you all for how much you make this time."

Shi Zhongkui was not in a hurry to speak.

Babao wine is 100 catties of Chenghuang medicinal wine mixed with 1 thousand catties of ordinary medicinal wine.

Not to mention ordinary wine, 1 catties of Chenghuang Medicinal Wine bought by oneself with incense can make 1.1 catties of Babao wine.

According to Xue Pan's words, it is equal to 110,000 taels of silver and 1.1 taels of gold.

With such a calculation, it seems that he can earn a lot of money, but it seems that it is not worthwhile to exchange incense.

Shi Zhongkui immediately decided to chat with Day and Night Youshen.

I don't want to exchange incense and merits, why can't I exchange other conditions?

Thinking about it this way, I remembered that Riyoushen told himself that there were many skeletons in the moat, so helping them clean up the moat would be considered a mutual benefit, right?

"What are you thinking?" Shi Zhongkui said even though he was willing to sell wine for money in his heart.

"This kind of medicinal wine, the medicinal herbs of the minimum age are more than a hundred years old, not to mention ten taels of silver per catty, even if you sell it for three and fifty taels, you will lose money."

Jia Lian and Xue Pan were taken aback, if Shi Zhongkui's words were not nonsense, then it would indeed be a bargain.

Shi Zhongkui said again, "Don't just think about making money all day long, you two never thought about sending this medicinal wine to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Xue Pan's eyes lit up, but Jia Lian shook his head, "All the eunuchs in the palace only have money in their eyes.

Besides, they may not dare to sacrifice to the emperor if they donate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In case the emperor drank it and thought about the harem all day long, the ministers in the court would not be overwhelmed.

So, it's better to sell them.

If they are transported to another place, they can make a fortune by changing hands, and these big eunuchs will not stare at the younger brother and others. "

This is true.

Then Jia Lian sighed and said again, "My dear brother, although my elder brother donated a fifth-rank official status, but let me be an official, those superior officials and colleagues laughed.

Even the petty officials and servants in the yamen, which ones are not bullying, black-hearted bastards.

Rather than being implicated and deceived by them, it is better to guard the family business honestly and make more money. "

After hearing this, Shi Zhongkui secretly scolded the two for their lack of ambition, but when he thought about it carefully, he wanted to stand out despite being incompetent, just as unreliable as those second generations of the Celestial Dynasty who used their family money to invest.

It's really better to guard the family business and avoid the trouble of disaster.

Shi Zhongkui looked at Xue Pan and Jia Lian and said, "I'll give you 10 catties first, and see how much you can sell them for. If you make some money, we'll talk about it later."

Xue Pan suggested, "How about diluting the eight-treasure wine?"

Jia Lian shook his head directly, "Then we might as well sell it as one tael or one tael, otherwise the effect of the medicine is not good enough, and he is not a fool."

Shi Zhongkui nodded upon hearing this.

Xue Pan rolled his eyes and laughed, "Second brother, if you are free today, how about we invite some friends to drink flower wine?"

Of course Jia Lian didn't care about the little money he paid for drinking, and don't look at the little pocket money those young masters have every month.

But these people don't care much about money when they meet someone they like.

For Shi Zhongkui, although this group of people has no real power in their hands, they know enough people.

As long as they can win over these people well and are willing to spend money, there is basically no yamen they can't clear.

So Shi Zhongkui didn't object to Xue Pan asking people to drink at all.

But then Jia Lian said again, "Brother Pan, brother wants to put his name under your name, okay?"

When Jia Lian said this, he told Xue Pan clearly, but his eyes looked at Shi Zhongkui from time to time.

Shi Zhongkui understood at a glance that this guy was worried that if he made money, he would be taken away by his own father Jia She and the Jia family.

The second is that although I believe that Xue Pan will not be greedy for his money, after all, I am really worried, and I will not ask Xue Pan to help him.

But if he had his brother-in-law as a guarantor, Xue Pan really wouldn't dare to renege on his debt.

As for things that would not allow Jia Amnesty, or even Jia Mu and Jia Zheng to take advantage, I would rather see it.

She smiled and said to Xue Pan, "Second brother Lian has a grand master after all, and a sister-in-law from the Wang family is watching over him. Brother Pan will help him this time. If you want to drink in the future, he will definitely rush to pay for you."

Only then did Xue Pan come to his senses, and said to Jia Lian with a smile, "Second brother Lian, why don't we go to Jinxiang Courtyard now, I heard that Miss Yun'er is unique."

Jia Lian was generous this time, and besides, he also knew that the money for drinking flower wine was nothing compared to the shares.

After Shi Zhongkui sent away the two brothers who never thought of taking him to the brothel, he called out to the Japanese wandering god.

"I remember that you have been worried that there are too many bones in the moat?"

Ri Youshen nodded, thinking about Shi Zhongkui's purchase of medicinal wine a few days ago, and said in his heart, "My lord, although we can arrest the dead souls, we can't clean up the remains in the moat by ourselves. If you can help, we will be willing." Reward with medicinal wine."

Shi Zhongkui suddenly became interested, "How to say?"

After thinking for a while, Ri Youshen said, "Do you think the ratio of one to fifty catties is feasible?"

Shi Zhongkui thought at most one to ten, but when he heard Ri Youshen's words, he immediately knew that there must be a lot of medicinal wine in the City God.

But then think about 5 catties, which is actually only [-] tons.Calculated based on the existence of the City God for hundreds of years, even if only three to five hundred catties are brewed every year, after so many years of accumulation, it will be tens of thousands of catties.

Even more than 10,000 catties.

Moreover, cleaning up the bones must have contributed a lot to the City God system.

After Shi Zhongkui thought for a while, he nodded, and he had reached an agreement with Riyoushen.

Even if possible, he would like to exchange all the medicinal wine in Chenghuang's hands.

Anyway, it is stored in the warehouse of the space farm, so it is not troublesome for me at all.
-
Xue Pan and Jia Lian brought 10 catties of Babao wine and invited more than a dozen honorable princes to drink in Jinxiangyuan.

The next day, Babao Wine became famous among some young masters in the capital.

Drinking a few cups can make everyone's wives and concubines or lovers in a brothel cry for their parents, and they don't feel much tired the next day. It immediately makes the princes and even some officials in the capital flock to it.

Two days later, when 500 taels of silver appeared in front of Shi Zhongkui, Shi Zhongkui calculated in his mind that it was actually 5 taels of silver for one tael of wine.

And Xue Pan and Jia Lian definitely made a lot of money.

After giving Xue Pan and Xue Pan 1 catties of wine, Shi Zhongkui immediately asked Chinchilla to go out to investigate, and soon learned that these two guys actually sold the wine to more than a dozen noble families at a price of 80 taels of silver per catty. Young master buddy.

A family of three or five jars of eight-treasure wine, so that these did not appear on the market at all.

Looking at the 5 taels of gold in five boxes on the open space in his study, Shi Zhongkui sighed secretly, no wonder things like Brother Wei can sell so well in modern society.

Seeing Shi Zhongkui's satisfied smile, Jia Lian said, "My dear brother, I discussed it with Brother Pan, since you are responsible for dredging the river.

Why not use the second batch of Eight Treasures Wine as a condition to lure those dozens of companies to help you get through the relationship with the court.

Even as long as Xiandi is willing to give each of them a hundred catties of eight-treasure wine, these guys will definitely be willing to help Xiandi clean up the entire river channel in Gyeonggi. "

Shi Zhongkui shook his head.

It's no problem to send wine. After the dozens of honorable families get it, they must store it in their own cellar and drink it slowly, or sell it to Jiangnan.

Moreover, Jiangnan is so big that if a thousand catties of medicinal wine are scattered, it will not be able to stir up any waves at all.

Even just Jinling or Yangzhou can easily eat these wines.

Since it is a consumable, the point is not how much to sell, but how to maintain a good reputation.

As long as everyone feels that it is worth the money, they will not only buy it, but also continue to consume it.

Not to mention that if it is sold to dozens or hundreds of flower boats on the Qinhuai River, it may not be enough for a month's consumption.

But personally presiding over the affairs of the river channel will definitely gain more merit than letting others do it all.

"In this way, you help me send a message to those dozens of honorable mansions. As long as they help me bring an official to write to the court, stating the benefits of dredging the river, I will give them 10 catties of Babao wine."

Based on 8 taels of silver and one tael of wine, 10 catties equals 800 taels of silver.

This is not giving wine, it is simply using money to suppress people.

After Jia Lian and Xue Pan made the calculations, they said worriedly, "In this way, there may be hundreds, even two or three hundred officials who will write letters, so my virtuous brother won't worry about being feared by the royal family?"

Shi Zhongkui shook his head with a smile, "It's about military power, promotion of officials, and who enters the cabinet. Supporting too many officials is indeed a bad thing.

However, the more people support the dredging of the river, it seems that the Supreme Emperor has the foresight.

But in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that they wrote to support, but they were bought by money.

Otherwise, why didn't you write a book before? "

Jia Lian and Xue Pan thought for a while and nodded.

Shi Zhongkui continued, "Not only will His Majesty not object to this matter, but he will try his best to promote it. Because this shows to a large extent that the authority of the Supreme Emperor is far less important than money.

It can even be said, to a certain extent, that the courtiers actually do not support the Supreme Emperor in their hearts, do you understand? "

Now Jia Lian and Xue Pan cast their eyes on Shi Zhongkui's admiration.

The news quickly spread to more than a dozen noble families, some of them probably also thought of the Supreme Emperor, but they were reluctant to part with a hundred catties of medicinal wine worth 8 taels of silver.

So he hesitated heavily.

But some people don't care so much, even some nobles who have a bright performance but have long been short-lived, that is a positive.

In just three days, at least seventy or eighty Beijing officials wrote letters.

Even some third- and fourth-rank officials with few heirs began to write letters after drinking the eight-treasure wine.

However, the content of these people's letters is much more tactful.

The focus is only on the coming rainy season, if the flood floods Gyeonggi, the loss will be great.

Shi Zhongkui took the opportunity to join in to clean up the folds of the moat.

And this booklet really seemed to step on some people's tail, I started to worry, and then I went around.

But the happier these people are jumping up and down at this time, the faster they are exposing themselves.

Shi Zhongkui soon learned from the mouth of the Japanese tour god that those who used the moat as a place to hide corpses included government servants and some officials in addition to gangsters fighting for territory, personal vendettas, business grievances and gambling brothels.

Shi Zhongkui is not Bao Qingtian, he has no time to deal with these unjust cases.

What's more, some unjust dead ghosts have been dead for at least ten years. At this time, when the case is uncovered, even the murderer can't be found.

Now that he had a goal, his goal was to put it on the officials at first, but after checking, he found that no one had written a letter against the river course.

As for some small officials, Shi Zhongkui didn't care at all.

So his eyes were quickly set on a group of Qingpi heads who depended on the capital's water system for their livelihood.

Most of these people are just for food, but their methods are really vicious.

And as long as the river is not silted up to the point where boats cannot pass, it will be more beneficial to them.

In other words, when dredging the river, these people will definitely try their best to stop it.

But dealing with these people is not without trouble.

In order to monopolize the work on the wharf, not only did they take care of the officials of Shuntian Mansion and Wucheng Bingma Division, but even the embroidery guards had their money taken.

Normally speaking, if Shi Zhongkui focused on this group of people, he would definitely offend the three yamen.

But after all, these official missions and embroidered clothes guards are nothing more than money.

Jia Lian and Xue Pan quickly invited Qiu Liang, the grandson of Jing Tianhou, who was in charge of Wucheng Bingmasi, to a regular restaurant for drinks.

When Qiu Liang came home, two attendants were holding two twenty-jin wine jars and followed him into the gate.

At this time, the eight-treasure wine was already famous but not sold on the market, so the private price had risen to a hundred taels of silver per catty.

In other words, as long as Qiu Liang is willing to sell, the forty catties of Babao wine is equal to 4000 taels of silver.

It's almost equal to the filial piety of those green skins for four years.

Of course, half of the 4000 taels of silver were actually handed over to Qiu Liang's subordinate officials.

But there is no reason to give away what you get.

Moreover, Qiu Liang was sure that Jia Lian and Xue Pan would not tell the other officials of Wucheng Bingma Division about this matter.

At the same time, he also sold those green skins most thoroughly.

He hinted at the wine table that as long as Zhuangyuan Gong has taken care of Shuntian Mansion and Xiuyiwei, Wucheng soldiers and horses can use some special methods when arresting people.

As soon as Shi Zhongkui heard it, he understood that this was an opportunity to silence him.

I don't care about the life and death of those green-skinned bosses.

But it seems that Shuntian Mansion is more troublesome than Xiuyiwei, but the fact is just the opposite.
