I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 14
Yang Shiliang, as the manager of Wanchunlou, has tasted most of the fine wines in the world, so he doesn't think this young man who is two years younger than him can make any fine wines.

But after taking a sip of the wine, Yang Shiliang's eyes lit up. This wine is different from other wines. It is soft and pungent in the mouth, but it has a spicy and irritating feeling, and it turns into a ball of flames in his stomach.

This is the wine that He Shao asked Ji Zai to secretly brew in Suoerfang. It tastes about 35 to [-] degrees. Although it is worse than real spirits, it is not the same as Song wine with only [-] or [-] degrees. language.

Even if the big shopkeeper of Fan Lou came forward, as long as there was such a wine, there would be a chance of winning.

After the founding of the country, Taizu Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty made many expeditions. In order to collect enough taxes, he implemented patented alcohol, and encouraged the people to produce and sell more to obtain huge taxes.

There are 72 main stores in Kaifeng City that specialize in selling distiller's yeast and alcoholic beverages, among which Fanlou is the leader, and the distiller's yeast can make a huge profit of one million every year!

"What kind of wine is this?" Yang Shiliang asked hastily.

"One sword... no, a drop of immortality is drunk, why not call it drunken fairy" He Shao also temporarily named it.

"Drunken Immortal? Good name"

"Dishes and wine are the two pillar industries of Fanlou. If this kind of wine spreads in Kaifeng City, do you think Fanlou's water-like wine can still be sold?" He Shao laughed.

"You're trying to draw your salary from the bottom of the pot"

While Yang Shiliang praised He Shao, he also felt somewhat afraid, not only Fan Lou, but also Wanchun Lou would be affected as well.

Today, the distiller's koji business in Kaifeng City is divided into three pillars, the wine koji of the official supervisor's liquor office, Fanlou jiuqu, Wanchunlou and other official stores. Although He Shao does not have the right to specialize in distiller's koji, this method of brewing spirits is enough to impact the already stable wine market.

The formula only caused Fan Lou to lose [-] guan, but this kind of spirits would hurt Fan Lou's muscles and bones, and even the most serious operation may be eliminated!

Yang Shiliang is already thinking about countermeasures for Wanchunlou. Even if he can't get a way to make this kind of spirits, he should at least join in and not become an opponent.

"This kind of wine will undoubtedly replace all kinds of existing wines, but have you ever thought that doing so will also offend all the main stores in Kaifeng City?" Yang Shiliang asked.

He Shao also thought of this point, he only wanted to deal with Fan Lou, but these receptions hit all the main shops dealing in distiller's yeast indiscriminately.

"That's why I want to continue working with Brother Yang"

Yang Shiliang smiled knowingly when he heard this, how could he let go of an opportunity to cheat Fan Lou.

"What kind of cooperation law"

"I'm in charge of making wine, and you're in charge of selling it. This wine will only be sold exclusively at Wanchun Building."

In Kaifeng City, from the court officials down to the common people, they all like to drink alcohol. This kind of alcohol has a fatal temptation for them. As long as there is such alcohol, why can’t it attract all the diners in Fanlou, especially the exclusive sale of this pair of Yang Shiliang? Said to be an irresistible temptation.

"What about the price?"

"It takes about three catties of grain to brew a bucket of lamb wine, and it costs 81 cash to sell for [-] cash, but it takes nearly ten grain to brew a bucket of Zuixian. The price is up to you. It's not expensive for me to ask for [-] cash per bucket of wine."

"Refreshing, I, Yang Shiliang, accept your love"

Wanchun Tower itself has a winemaking workshop, and naturally knows the secrets of it. The cost of Zuixian Liquor is only [-] to [-] Wen, and the wine is dozens of times profitable. It is not difficult for him to resell it for [-] or [-] Wen.

Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, the number of wealthy households in Kaifeng City is second to none, and only in such an era of economic development can such profits be made.

Everything was within his expectations, Yu Futong was arrested, and after all the [-] guan wine koji were brewed, he could earn at least [-] to [-] guan, which was considered a consummation of merit, He Shao hummed a little song and left Wanchun Tower.

"Master, why don't we do such a good business ourselves?" He Si asked suddenly.

"Solfang, regardless of manpower or material resources, cannot supply the whole city with its output, so it can only seize the top wine market and squeeze the silver bottles of wine produced by Fanlou into the garbage dump.

Secondly, the distiller's koji is in the hands of others. If all the main shops are offended, as long as they unite to block the distiller's koji, no matter how good the wine-making technology is, they will be powerless. "

"The young master is still smart," He Si said with a smile.

"Before one's own strength is not enough, eating alone can easily become the target of public criticism.

After Yang Shiliang is brought in, even if Zuixianjiu squeezes Kaifeng City's wine market, those people can only target Wanchunlou instead of us. "

"Will Yang Shiliang find out in the future?" He Si was a little worried.

"Your young master is not the only smart person in the world. Yang Shiliang is also one of them. This is a mutually beneficial thing. Wanchun Building made huge profits, and then withstood all the pressure, while your young master, I hid behind silently and made a fortune."

He Shao originally thought that Yu Futong would be exiled for thousands of miles as a Chengdan at the lightest level. After all, he had already pleaded guilty in front of three officials in charge of prisons, but Yu Futong was released in just two days.

The fan towers in Kaifeng City only have three floors, and only the one in the central area near the imperial palace has four floors. This fourth floor rarely receives outsiders.

All kinds of exotic flowers and plants were placed on the window sill of the room, and Yu Futong knelt in the center and kept kowtowing to a young man.

"Yu Futong, do you know how much the Pei family spent to get you?"

A young man with the appearance of a Confucian scholar, holding a book in his hand, asked casually while reading.

"Yu Futong deserves to die, the young master's forgiveness"

"Tell me, what's going on"

Yu Futong recounted his quarrel with He Shaoxiang's butcher's shop in detail, and he didn't even hide the things he did.

"For the sake of your dedication to Fanlou, the [-] pennies are not in vain."

Yu Futong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the delivery here. Not only did he save his life this time, but he also seemed to be able to continue serving as the shopkeeper.

"But remember in the future, since things have to be done, you have to figure out how to get yourself out while using unscrupulous means."

"Remember the teaching of the young master"

"Get up and stop kneeling, Fanlou still needs your help in the future"

Yu Futong hurriedly got up, bent over and came behind the boy, picked up the fan and shook it lightly.

"Master, there is something very important that I want to report to you."

"Say it"

"The recipe in He Shao's hands is now all over the city and it's not worth our attention, but He Shao treated me to a glass of wine before I was taken away."

"Is there something special about the wine?" the boy asked.

"This wine is stronger than all the wines I've ever had, very strong!"

In order to express the seriousness of the problem, Yu Futong also specifically emphasized one side.

"To say something that shouldn't be said, not to mention our silver bottle wine, even the lamb wine in the official wine storehouse is not much better than water in front of this kind of wine.

If this kind of wine is circulated in the street market, our status in the wine market may not be guaranteed! "

The reason why Fanlou can look down on Kaifeng City is that the biggest reliance is the huge liquor tax paid to the national treasury every year. This is also the foundation of Fanlou. If it is shaken, the consequences will be disastrous.

Originally, distilled wine would appear in the Yuan Dynasty and fermented wine would be completely swept into the garbage dump of history, but the appearance of He Shao made this process 200 years earlier.
