Li Tianyang said that he was a little thirsty, poured a glass of water to drink, and saw that everyone agreed with him, so he continued to talk about his harvest in the past few days: "Then now that food is expensive in the city, then who should we go to sell the wine in our hands?" You know, this is the only bargaining chip we have in our hands, and if we don't have these drinks, how much food can we buy with our money and the current price of food? ”

"So I focused on learning about the big businesses in Xia County with Uncle Guan, and I also asked the uncles to inquire more about such people, and now I have gained something. These are the ones I specially selected to be able to need both fine wine and surplus food, and I invite you to talk to Uncle Wu today, in fact, I want to discuss with you and see which one is more suitable for trading with us. Li Tianyang was about to hand over the notes in his hand to Wu Daofu, but suddenly remembered that Wu Daofu was not very literate, and he was afraid that he would not be able to recognize some of his handwriting, so he simply opened the notes himself and read them out one by one.

"You can do these things without being in charge, you don't need to discuss with a rough man like Lao Wu and me, for the mind of the young master, my Lao Wu is quite admired!" Wu Daofu has always admired Li Tianyang, and knows that he can fight with his own ability, but if he really wants him to give advice, he is really not as powerful as Li Tianyang.

"Uncle Wu, where are you, after all, the kid is young, and there are many things that are not well considered, and I need you to help me check and fill in the gaps, and give me some advice!" Li Tianyang himself had already had an idea in his heart, but this time he Meng Lang made Wu Daofu notice a little strange, and he needed him to make up for the relationship. Just took advantage of this discussion to let Wu Daofu know that he, Li Tianyang, still trusted him and thought that he was an arm.

After saying this, without waiting for Wu Daofu to postpone it, he opened his notes and summarized several merchants one by one: "First of all, Wang Yude, the owner of Jufuzhai, the largest restaurant in the county, as a restaurant, of course, they need the most drinks." Although this disaster had a great impact on restaurants like them, don't forget that the prices of their restaurants are relatively high, and most of the people who come in and out are literati and scholars, officials and businessmen. The biggest characteristic of this generation is that there is no shortage of money and they love face, so even in the face of serious disasters, they still have a lot of access to restaurants, so Jufuzhai relies on such diners, but it can still operate normally and is not affected. ”

"And the quality of the wine in our hands, I must know it in your heart, like countless people, and it is exactly what Jufu Zhai urgently needs. Nowadays, food is in short supply and prices are skyrocketing, and I am afraid that few families are willing to waste food on such time-consuming and labor-intensive work as winemaking. On the contrary, the wine in our hands has become a good thing to live in, and I am afraid that it can be sold for a good price. ”

"It's just that although Jufuzhai needs fine wine, as a restaurant, I am worried that they will not have extra food in hand to exchange wine with us, but use cash to buy our wine, we are afraid that we will suffer some losses. After all, in today's world, even if we have silver, we may not be able to buy enough food, unless we do not hesitate to pay high prices! ”

"So we can get in touch with them first, but don't put too much thought into them, unless they agree to a plan to exchange food for drink!"

"And the other one, of course, is our county magistrate. Speaking of our county officials, I think Uncle Wu, you must have some confusion in your hearts, although the current county officials are not in charge of affairs and let the county chief do whatever they want, but I have not heard of him doing anything treacherous and corrupt. Such a scholar official, all the authority is controlled by his subordinates, then he is probably just an empty shell county order, and he can't give us much of anything! ”

"At first, I thought that our county commander had a Buddha statue in front of him, and he didn't have anything to do. But the news that my uncles have inquired about in the past few days has surprised me! It turns out that our county magistrate is still a guy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and he has deceived us all. Today, there are five grain stores in the county, three of which belong to Zhang Baiqian, a high-roller in the county, who is said to be a high-roller, but in fact he is the biggest gangster leader in the county. ”

"Originally, with such a character, he must have something to do with a certain giant in the yamen, so I specially asked Uncle Guan who was the backer behind him. Unexpectedly, he didn't have any relationship with the adults in the yamen, but only had an in-law relationship with An Fugui, the only money bank and gambling house owner in the county, and the two of them married each other's sisters as wives. This kind of relationship makes the relationship between the two families quite close, but they are dealing with this relationship in a very low-key way, and if we don't inquire, no one really knows about such a relationship between them. You must know that the general industry related to money and food, there must be a strong backer to gain a foothold in the county, we have inquired many times and still have not found any connection between them and the adults in the official face, are they really so powerful, not afraid of the adults to take advantage of it? ”

"And I also found out that An Fugui, the owner of Qianzhuang, was not a local person, but only moved to the county seven years ago, so how could he snatch the money-rich business in the hands of the county officials and the chief bookkeeper? Here I still want to thank Uncle Guan for his heart, and I actually found out that this An Fugui came to Lehui as a master and our county commander seven years ago. It's just that a few days after he arrived in the county, he no longer served as the master of our county order, but began to be the shopkeeper of Guang'an Qianzhuang at that time, and held Guang'an Qianzhuang in his hands in less than two years, and became the largest owner of Guang'an Qianzhuang. ”

"Speaking of which, Uncle Wu, you should also know how rich our county magistrate is! It's just that he covered it up properly, and everyone didn't find out, and I value the county magistrate, in addition to the fact that he has food and money in his hands, but also because he is a good drinker. I heard that he has to drink three cups a day and recite a poem, full of scholarly style, and the wine he drinks for a character like him is certainly not an ordinary thing, and the wine in our hands is his favorite! ”

"It's just that this person is so greedy and powerful, but I am a little worried in my heart that he will buy and sell by force, or even take advantage of it, which is too risky for us and is not a suitable target."

"Only the last one is the most suitable person in my mind. This person is Liang Shuguang, the largest landlord in the county, and Liang Shusheng is a cousin in the county, relying on Liang Shusheng's relationship, he controls one of the two remaining grain stores in the county, as well as a restaurant and an inn, which is the one we live in now, and also operates a winery outside the city, and is now the only winery in the county that is still making wine. ”

"It's such a character, who has his own channel for selling alcohol, and has inns and restaurants under his hands, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell the wine he collects, and their drinks themselves are of average quality and have no conflict with our drinks, so don't worry that they won't be able to get enough of our drinks. His family has the largest landlord, and he must have a lot of grain in his hands, otherwise he would not still be making wine and selling in the winery. ”

"The most important thing is that we have something to do with the county lord, don't worry that they will deliberately oppress people, Liang Shusheng and Liang Shuguang are also wine lovers, especially Liang Shuguang, otherwise he would not have opened a winery and operated it himself. There are many factors, and my idea is to put more thoughts on Liang Shuguang, so as to get the greatest benefits for us. I don't know what you think, Uncle Wu? After reading the things on the note, Li Tianyang licked his lips that were a little dry, and turned his gaze to Wu Daofu and them.
