Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 22
Seeing that the wine business is on the right track, it has begun to make profits.

Some big families couldn't help being jealous, they didn't know that the boss behind this business was the son of the Lord of Yizhou.

Naturally, everyone wanted a share of this new profitable business.

And the Yizhou clan, who are politically powerless but entangled in this land, are the vanguard among them.

Just like the Zhang family in Qianwei County.

However, Uncle Zhuge, who discovered the clue, immediately took the wine management right into the government in name.

After all, with Liu Bei's prohibition on alcohol, this move is also famous.

In protecting Liu Chan's fledgling career, Zhuge Liang showed a lesser-shown iron fist.

However, this move further increased the dissatisfaction of the native families in Yizhou.

When you, Liu Bei, appointed high-level officials, they were all from your Jingzhou faction and Dongzhou faction, and they just suppressed my Yizhou family.

Oh, now we want to get involved in some lucrative business, you won't allow it?
General Yi Zuo's mansion is so majestic and domineering.

And after Liu Chan knew about this matter, he was moved by Uncle Zhuge's move, and in a flash of inspiration, he also proposed a plan.

OEM production.

Your family wants to be involved, right?
Well, I will send someone to guide you to use your own land to grow grapes, and then you will transport the grapes to Chengdu.

I'll process it into wine for you, charge you a processing fee, and then sell it.

The condition is that when selling, the pricing must keep pace with me.

Anyway, those private lands of rich families always try their best to do tricks when paying taxes, and the taxes they receive are really limited, so it's better to use waste to make my Liu Chan's business cheaper.

As soon as the Yizhou family heard that Zhuge's military master let go, they allowed them to participate in this way, and Liu Chan's processing fee was not high in their opinion.

Even if the costs of planting and transportation are included, they still make a profit, so they immediately nodded happily.

Liu Chan seemed to be giving in to them, but they didn't know how inflated the price of wine was at this time.

They compared Liu Chan's wine based on the profit of ordinary wine, and they took it for granted that Liu Chan's processing fee was very reasonable.

But they don't know that compared with Liu Chan's profit, their profit is much less...

Zhuge Liang thought that Liu Chan was forced to give up the profits because he was worried that he would offend the Yizhou clan too hard and work hard.

I feel that this child is so politically sensitive and open-minded at such a young age, and he has been brushed with a wave of favorability.

This was a surprise. In fact, Liu Chan asked them to participate in the soup, and the greater purpose was to further expand the scale of the industry.

In this way, we can support ourselves to sell to farther places and make greater profits.

The first bloodless confrontation between Liu Chan and the Yizhou clan ended in a win-win situation.

Of course, Yizhou Dazu seems to be winning together.

In Liu Chan's view, he won twice...

The north is at war, and the south is mostly ethnic minorities. Liu Chan naturally set his sights on the east.

In Jingzhou, there were originally seven families: Cai, Kuai, Huang, Pang, Xi, Ma, and Yang.

Lao Liu was able to get along well in Jingzhou, and later Guan Ershu was able to carry out his work smoothly, largely because of the betting support of the other five families except Cai Kuai.

Coupled with the families who had escaped from disaster in the south before, there are not many rich people in Jingzhou.

Compared with them, Yizhou's family is not enough in terms of quantity or quality.

And these families have very close relations with Lao Liu and Uncle Zhuge. After obtaining a few letters from Uncle Zhuge, it is difficult for wine to open up the situation in Jingzhou.

Liu Chan also imported oak from Jingzhou, made oak barrels, and dug a wine cellar, which is specially used to make higher-quality wine for aging.

And in publicity, drinking this kind of high-end wine is strongly associated with noble temperament and the elegance and calmness of literati.

Naturally, higher prices and profits will follow, and these big fat sheep with good face will be slaughtered precisely.

For a while, the dignitaries and dignitaries in Jingzhou, if their family did not have a urn of aged wine produced in Chengdu to entertain their distinguished guests, it would be quite embarrassing.

……

Manager Zhao handed over a roll of bamboo slips: "Young master, this is the record of the income and expenditure of this trip. The money and the purchased grain, iron ore, medicinal materials and other materials have all arrived at the camp outside the young master's city. Please also send the money to the camp outside the young master's city. Let your subordinates go and take a look."

Liu Chan took the bamboo slips with a smile, browsed them and said: "No need, I can rest assured that Manager Zhao will do things. You take [-]% of the money and food yourself, and share it with your brothers. You have worked hard all the way, and you can rest for a while."

Zhao Guanshi was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to salute: "Thank you, young master."

Liu Chan is not mean to him, and every time he does business, he will get a lot of profit.

And he never underestimated him just because he was a businessman, Zhao Guanshi was grateful in his heart, and he naturally devoted himself to doing things.

As for the guards sent to him by the young lord, does it also have the meaning of supervision... Zhao Guanshi thinks it is very normal.

If the young master really ignored such a large transaction, Manager Zhao would not respect Liu Chan as much as he does now.

After all, it is difficult for a shrewd businessman to really respect a benevolent fool.

"That's right." Manager Zhao took out another kit from his cuff, "There is still a secret letter to pass on to the young master, and the subordinate has confirmed the handover code with the other party."

After Liu Chan took it, he took out a piece of cloth, and there was a short writing on it: "The jungler is in place, the grass is clear."

Although it was the encrypted writing method that he designed at the beginning, now that he suddenly saw it, Liu Chan couldn't help but smile.

"Jungle in place" is the person I sent to Jingzhou at the beginning, and he has successfully sneaked into Mi Fang's command and gained a foothold.

"The grass is clear" means that eyeliner has been laid in Lukou and other places in Soochow.

With the secret letter written like this, it doesn't matter even if someone robs it.

With the improvement of talent, my related memories of the Three Kingdoms era gradually became clearer, but after all, it was not solid in the first place, and no matter how clear it was, it was limited.

For such an important event as the Jingzhou battle, it is natural to make preparations in advance.

"Okay, okay." Liu Chan put away the letter and said to Guanshi Zhao, "You guys have a good rest for a while, and when I get the goods ready for the next time, I will ask someone to let you know.

"Next time there will be a group of people going to Jingzhou with you, you help me settle them into Jiangling, don't attract attention."

"As ordered."

After thinking about it, Liu Chan said again: "Next time when you come back, you won't have to go to Dongwu, Jingzhou to do business in a short time."

Zhao Guanshi was taken aback when he heard this.

The business in Jingzhou is getting better and better, and you can make a lot of money every time you go there. Soochow has just opened up sales, why don't you go there again?
He doesn't understand.

But in the past, the young master's decisions that he didn't understand were all proved to be correct, so he didn't say anything this time.

After Zhao Guanshi went out, Liu Chan picked up the bamboo slips from before, and was very satisfied with the harvest this time.

It's good to be able to buy food and grass, Jingzhou and Soochow were not barren lands in the first place.

Iron ore is not something that can be bought easily with money, and Manager Zhao's ability is still very reliable.

Putting down the bamboo slips, Liu Chan checked the time, guessing that his mother had almost talked with them, so he got up and went to Mrs. Wu's room.

After saying hello, she opened the door and entered, only Mrs. Wu was in the room.

"Are they going back?"

Mrs. Wu said: "I've all gone back. When you're not around, it's thanks to these girls who often come to accompany me."

Liu Chan walked over to her and squeezed her shoulders, and said with a smile, "Didn't the baby come back, and I won't go out again for the time being, so I can spend more time with my bridesmaid this time."

Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "You, you can say nice things to make your mother happy. Tell me, what's the matter this time?"

"Uh..." Liu Chan stiffened his hands and praised, "Mother, you really have a clever plan, and I think Army Master Zhuge is nothing more than that."

Snapped.

Mrs. Wu patted his hand lightly: "Stop being so glib, speak quickly, or I won't listen to you as a mother."

"Hey." Liu Chan hurriedly sat down on the other side of the couch, "Mother, when will uncle return to Chengdu?"

The uncle Liu Chan mentioned was Mrs. Wu's elder brother, Wu Yi. His uncle, Wu Kuang, was once a subordinate of General He Jin.

After Lao Liu entered Sichuan, he worshiped Wu Yi as the army guard, and now stays in Yizhou. He is a figure with real power in the army.

Mrs. Wu had such an expression as expected: "I guess it's time to go back at the end of the month."

"That's great. At that time, mother will invite uncle to come over to talk about it, and the child will ask for something."

"If you don't have anything to do, I know you must have something to do!" Mrs. Wu scolded with a smile, "Understood, I can't delay your 'big event'."

In her eyes, it's just fun for A Dou to toss around every day, and the young man wants to satisfy his addiction to being a general, which is similar to playing house.

Anyway, it wasn't too much trouble, so when I went out, I just beat the bandits and road tyrants, so I left him alone.

But she didn't know that her son really planned to do something big...
