Seeing it in his eyes, hiding the surprise on his face, Wang Li stepped forward and asked:

"Your Excellency is General Jiang Jie under the command of Marquis Yongxing."

Jiang Jie looked at the visitor carefully, and then saluted:

"It is here, Master Hou is already waiting in the Xuanting Pavilion, and I also ask General Wang to invite."

"How do you know that your Excellency is Wang Li below?"

Wang Li asked, Jiang Jie replied with a smile:

"Hou Ye said that there is an inconspicuous dark mole on the right side of General Wang's nose, so the general must be the person invited by Hou Ye."

"I see, Gongziyan is really hidden, all these years have passed, the past is still fresh in my memory, it's really rare."

Wang is wearing a short robe of gray cloth, which is no different from ordinary people, Jiang Jie can recognize him at a glance, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do in a very short time, which also makes him even more determined, Jiang Jie is not an ordinary person.

At this time, the entourage brought the horses, and Wang Li just walked down the stone steps outside the house, and was shocked by the BMW in Jiang Jie's hand:

"General Jiang Jie, isn't this Ma the BMW Qianli Yue rumored by the outside world?"

Jiang Jie looked proud, held his beloved war horse and said:

"General Wang really has good eyesight, and this horse is riding a horse for thousands of miles."

"Oh......"

Wang Li's face suddenly became embarrassed, this is his good eyesight, it is simply an obvious fact.

The horse he rode was already a first-class horse in the Jin Kingdom, and it was only about one person tall, and the horse in Jiang Jie's hand was more than seven feet tall at the shoulder.

On the way to Xuanting Pavilion with Jiang Jie, the more Wang Li looked at Qianli Yue, the more surprised he was in his heart. He was thinking that in the future, this horse would train an army of tens of thousands of iron cavalry, which could span hundreds of thousands of miles in a day, and no one in the world could beat it.

While walking, I want to come to the Xuan Pavilion Pavilion, and the expanded Xuan Pavilion Pavilion has surpassed Jinzui Fang and become the largest restaurant in the city of Chenling.

Thanks to the unique liquor and soy sauce brewed in the department store, the daily income of Xuantingguan has increased by more than 15 times compared to ten years ago, and Bailiyan is considering revising the tax law again in the future to further improve the tax items of various industries.

Wang Li, as the Sima of Pingtangcheng City, knows the streets and alleys of Pingtangcheng well, but a trip to the city in the past two days made him feel great pressure.

More than 10 years ago, he also secretly came to Chenling, at that time it was to assassinate Bailiyan, when Shenling was suffering from drought and financial crisis, all industries withered and merchants fled, and the prosperity was less than half of Pingtang.

With Jiang Jie to the second floor of the Xuanting Pavilion, Bai Liyan opened a private room here, and when she saw Wang Li appear, Bai Liyan got up to greet her:

"Brother Wang, don't come unharmed!"

Wang Li looked ashamed:

"I'm ashamed, I'm just wasting my time doing nothing, how can I compare with Yan Gongzi."

"Brother Wang, why did he say this, thinking of the scene of the two of you and me fighting in the proton mansion, Yan still remembers it vividly, but it is a pity that you and I are our own masters, and we are helpless. Please come and sit down first. ”

"Thank you......" Wang Li didn't show much emotion, and his face was very calm.

After sitting down, Bai Liyan motioned to Jiang Jie to let people pass the food, and poured Wang Li a glass of wine. Wang Li picked up the wine cup and approached his nose, and the familiar taste evoked countless past events.

"It's still the bar it used to be."

"Exactly, it's still the wine I brewed in the Proton Mansion back then."

"Then the wine sold by Boyuan Jun Jifeng, why can't it be as mellow as Yan Gongzi's wine?"

"Hehe......" Bai Liyan said with a smile, and Kan Kan said: "What he took away was only wine, not heart." Just as in the next place, the heart is now in the Xian country, and the time is in the Jin country, it is the same reason. ”

"I see......"

Wang Li was silent, he knew that Bai Liyan had always been ambitious and forbearing, and it was Uncle Kuo who only wanted immediate interests and missed the opportunity.

A glass of stuffy wine went down, and the mellow taste suddenly brought the relationship between the two closer.

"It's really good wine...... I don't know how much money this wine sells for in Xianguo? Wang Li said tentatively.

"At present, the price of grain is slightly expensive, this liquor is the best liquor in the palace, Singapore dollars are about 180 yuan a catty, and other slightly inferior liquor is only 70 or 80 yuan, and a slightly better one can be sold for 100 yuan."

Wang Li frowned and doubted:

"It's so cheap, Yan Gongzi isn't deceiving me."

"Why bother to deceive Brother Wang, if you don't believe it, you can go to any store in the city to sell my department store liquor and ask, most of the ordinary liquor is between seventy or eighty yuan, the most expensive is only one hundred and twenty yuan, if it is less than sixty, it must be mixed with water in the wine."

"But Liang Guo sold me the inferior liquor of the Jin Kingdom, which cost more than 100 Wen a catty, and sold it to liquor shops all over the country, and the selling price was at least 150 Wen Jin Guo copper coins so that it would not lose money, even if Liang Guo was far away and the Xianguo new currency was worth it, but there could not be such a disparity. Yan Gongzi, how did you do it? ”

"This is a secret of the Xian Kingdom, please forgive Yan for not telling the truth. However, Brother Wang can rest assured that the wine in Xianguo is indeed at this price, and when the price of grain falls in the future, the price of wine will be cheaper. ”

At present, liquor is still mainly made of rice wine and aged liquor, and liquor is only brewed by Liang Guo Bo Yuanjun and Xianguo Baili Yan.

The process taken away by Boyuanjun is the method of making liquor from pure glutinous rice, the taste is dry and cracked, and the liquor is strong, and Baili Yan brews multigrain wine.

Since the yield of glutinous rice is much less than that of japonica rice, and the labor force is the same, it is not efficient and expensive. After Boyuanjun made wine, he has always followed the method of glutinous rice winemaking, so the cost is much higher. Bailiyan is not stupid, as long as he brews wine, he doesn't care what kind of food he has.

The department store liquor is obtained after blending glutinous rice liquor, japonica rice liquor, buckwheat liquor, sorghum liquor, wheat liquor, sweet potato roast, and high brandy fermented and distilled by second degree pulp aged for half a year, in addition to a variety of miscellaneous grains to brew liquor, wine, beer, brandy, fruit sour, and a variety of liquors.

Among them, sweet potato burning, fruit wine cost is the lowest, followed by buckwheat, sorghum, wheat, japonica rice prices, glutinous rice price is the highest, after the seven kinds of wine blending, the taste is mellow and has a unique flavor, a slight hint of sweetness, eight kinds of wine blending ratio is different, the taste is very different, the cost is naturally different.

In addition, after soybean oil is extracted, the oil can be sold for money, can be converted into industrial oil products, soybean meal can be fed to livestock, can also be brewed, wine brewing, pomace can continue to ferment twice, distilled to extract alcohol, and finally used as fertilizer to spread fertilizer in the field.

That's why the price of liquor in Xianguo is so low, if the price of normal glutinous rice and japonica rice is used, it will not be much cheaper than Boyuanjun's liquor.

Of course, this does not include the cost of extracting alcohol for fuel and medical disinfection, and if it is included, it is still much higher than the price of liquor in Liang, and this part of the expenditure mainly comes from the collection and storage funds allocated by the state treasury.

In addition, methanol and ethanol can also be extracted from petroleum, which is a good source of alcohol.

The more he drank the wine, the more stuffy it became, and Wang Li could already think that a few years later, the liquor of Xianguo would be sold to the Jin Kingdom at the same price, and the profit earned would be as much as two or three times that of the Liang Kingdom, and it was still at a time when the price of grain was high.

The dishes are all new dishes developed by Xuan Tingguan in recent years, but most of them are still from the cooking skills taught in Baili Yanfu.

Eating the dish, Bailiyan continued:

"Brother Wang, Rui Niang, she's okay."

"I have been very good before, but I heard that Yanzi you are still alive, and my mood is getting worse, and the king is becoming more and more cold to my sister. My father is very old and his health is not as good as before, and he has always wanted to see you, but I am afraid that it will be impossible in this life. ”

Bailiyan put down her chopsticks, hung her head, her eyes were suddenly a little moist, and her mood fluctuated:

"I don't know that once I go to the Jin Kingdom, the King of Jin will definitely detain me, and even execute me, in order to plot against the Xianguo and my Yongxing City."

"Brother Xian knows, why did you invite me here today."

"I think Xihuanding also instructed you to persuade me to agree to the Xianwang Alliance, but that's the case."

"Yes, the princess wants me to lobby you, if King Xian does not go to the Sun Kingdom Alliance, Xianguo will not get anything."

"Humph!" Bai Liyan snorted coldly: "The eldest grandson country is not self-sufficient, and it is not in my eyes. As for the 300,000 Jin troops in Beihai County, if you have the opportunity, you might as well start the posture and compare. The current Xianguo is no longer the Xianguo of ten years ago. Brother Wang can tell Xihuan when he goes back today, the 300,000 Jin troops retreat east as soon as possible, and they will be safe one day earlier. ”

Wang Li's face sank, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart:

"Yanzi, no matter how strong the Xian country is, only Yongxing is a place, the Jin country is vast, and the national strength is several times that of the Xian country.

"Huh." Bai Liyan sneered: "Brother Wang won't think that just relying on the hundreds of heaven-shaking fires in the Changsun Kingdom can bluff my Xianguo." ”

"Could it be that the Xian country has created a heaven-shattering fire!" Wang Li guessed.

"I don't know if the sky-shaking fire was made, but Brother Wang knows that the more than 400,000 soldiers of my Xian army are all equipped with steel blades, how do you compare yourself to the Jin army."

"After the truce in the south, Wang Yanfei captured a lot of iron weapons, which were enough to equip our entire army after being recast, although it was inferior to the steel blade of the Xian State, but the national strength of the Jin State was still superior to the Xian State by a few chips, how could the Xian State win. And you might as well tell the virtuous brother that the big mouth of the Heavenly Earthquake Fire and the War Pawn Heavenly Earthquake Fire customized by the king to the eldest grandson country are about to arrive. No matter how strong the Xian country is, it can match the strength of the two countries tenfold. ”

"Then let me ask Brother Wang, how much does the Jinguo Iron Production take year?"

When Wang Li heard the news, he refused to answer, saying:

"This is top secret, how can I tell you."

"Then let me tell you, in 634 years of your Jin Kingdom, the total amount of raw wrought iron in the country was only 180,000 catties, and in 635 it was slightly longer, increasing to 2,670,000 catties in two years, and the extra 890,000 catties should be the iron tools you obtained in the south of the Jin Kingdom.

Wang Li's color changed when he heard the news:

"How do you know?"

"Hmph, how do I know, of course I do. I also know that Changsun National Railway produces nearly 400,000 catties, and imports more than 100,000 catties of steel ingots from our Xianguo. Do you want to know how much steel ingots my Yongxing City produces annually? ”

"More than 400,000!" Wang Li said affirmatively.

"That was nine years ago."

"Now ......"

As soon as the words came out, Wang Li was overshadowed, he knew how Bai Liyan could tell him the secrets of the Xianguo. But quite the opposite:

"Actually, Yongxing steel production, only a few people in the entire Xianguo country know, Brother Wang wants to know."

"This is a top-secret opportunity, how can you tell me."

"If Brother Wang knows the secrets of my Xianguo, will he persuade the King of Jin to withdraw his troops?"

Wang Li quickly realized that Baili Yan was implying that the iron production of Yongxing City had reached an astonishing level, and it could cast more earth-shattering fires than the Changsun Kingdom, and once the war broke out in the future, the 300,000 people of the Jin army would undoubtedly be in the mouth of the tiger.
