waited until a few Hu merchants left after they had eaten and drunk enough, and they were exempted from paying for a meal, and then Zhen Qian and Song Yi quietly walked to the back of the store to discuss the matter.

Song Yi knew that Zhen Qian was in the private room next to him, and since he didn't stop it, he naturally agreed to the business, so he had to ask Zhen Qian's thoughts at this time.

"Zhen Lang, these Hu merchants bought one hundred and forty-two stone soju at once, but the warehouse only has less than one hundred stones, can they get together the remaining forty-two stone soju in these seven days?"

"Don't worry! Since I didn't stop it at the time, that means the business can be done, I'll have the rest of the wine delivered to you in a few days! Zhen Qian replied without thinking about it.

Song Yi didn't know how this soju was brewed, and if he really took the time to brew it himself, he might not be able to brew more than forty stone soju in seven days. Wang Qun had already made a contract with several small liquor shops, and he could provide 100 stone of turbid liquor every month, and process 40 stone of shochu in seven days, although the time was a little tight, but it was not impossible to complete.

Some of the turbid sake that was originally purchased directly was sold directly, and even if it was processed into shochu and could not be sold, it could be stored in the cellar, and the more the shochu was stored, the more fragrant it became, and there was no fear that it would deteriorate.

However, if you buy too much and can't sell it for a while, it is easy to accumulate a large amount of money, which is a fatal and intolerable mistake for Zhen Qian now.

Being able to sell more than 140 stone liquor at once, the transaction price alone made Song Yi dizzy, and when he thought that this matter was done by his own hands, and it was the first day of the opening of the new store, he was extremely happy and could not suppress the joy in his heart: "Out of this first batch of soju, the previous debts of the restaurant can be paid off!" ”

was said by Song Yi, Zhen Qian's face was delicate, more than 50 pieces were used before and after the construction of the restaurant, and more than 20 pieces were used for various furnishings in it, most of the money was owed to the businessman on credit at the beginning, Zhen Qian didn't feel anything wrong, but Song Yi couldn't sleep like pins and needles owed money, and thought about filling this big hole all day long.

Zhen Qian patted Song Yi's shoulder angrily and said, "Don't worry! This is not a big number, since you want to be the best restaurant, you have to look farther, just a few dozen times will worry you like this, after thousands of flows from your hands, you are not afraid all day long! ”

More than 140 stone of soju, in addition to various expenses, can earn more than 100 yuan, which is still thousands of miles away from Zhen Qian's goal.

Song Yi sighed in his heart, Zhen Qian's way of doing business is really incomprehensible, but his heart is higher than the sky, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse!

"Those Hu merchants buy our soju and it seems that they are going to ship it to the Northland, so it would be good if we could use this to open up the market in the Northland?"

"Uncle Song must not believe the words of those Hu merchants, they buy soju from us, they will never tell the origin of soju, don't have any luck with them?"

How could Song Yi not know what this meant, "I naturally know that these Hu merchants will not promote our soju, but as long as the name of soju spreads to the north, there will definitely be people who will find it here, and this is something they can't stop!" ”

Zhen Qian immediately heard the meaning of Song Yi's words, the routes of these Hu merchants are fixed, as long as someone follows this line to find it, they will find the soju produced by Zhending, no wonder Song Yi will easily agree to the low price of Hu Shang, it turns out that there is still this layer of calculations in it.

"I won't worry about this matter, in a few days, our own winery will open, at that time the output of a month can reach more than one or two hundred stones, and if someone comes to you to buy wine in the future, it is best to sign a long-term and stable contract, so that our winery can continue to expand?"

Buying other people's turbid liquor to make soju, and directly brewing shochu by yourself, can make 30% of the Zhen family's profit in the middle, but the sales volume of wine is fixed at a certain level, and if you want to expand production, you must expand the scope of business, but you can't rely on a few people around Zhen Qian alone, so you can only use the merchants who walk all over the world, which is also what Zhen Qian just thought of when he saw those Hu merchants, and he needs to discuss this matter with Wang Qun after he goes back.

Zhen Qian was not in a hurry to leave the Drunken Immortal Building, the first day of the Drunken Immortal Building, if he was not in the restaurant, he would also have an irresponsible attitude towards Song Yi, and at this time, Zhen Qian also wanted to know more about the mentality of the Tang people, and understand the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of life in the market.

It has been almost three months to Datang, and in mid-February, he fell from a horse and lost his memory, and it is already early summer, as the temperature rises, the sales of spicy soju will inevitably be affected, and Zhen Qian does not want his first pot of gold to be stranded like this.

For a long time, Zhen Qian disappeared in front of people, it is good to be low-key, but if you are too low-key, you will be depressed, and you don't want to go on like this forever.

Zhen Qian and the three of them sat back on the empty seat on the first floor, at this time noon had passed, the restaurant seemed a little deserted, those who came to the restaurant to spy on the news had already left, and it was unknown what kind of reaction would be there next.

A few soldiers in the restaurant have not left yet, but it seems that they have obviously drunk too much, and their inarticulate voices are also excited: "Captain Qin, this time you went to Yizhou to take office, I heard that you were treated unfairly, what is going on, tell us brothers?" ”

The soldier known as Captain Qin poured a glass of wine into his mouth and said, "Nest! What a fucking ......", he said and put the wine glass in his hand heavily, his eyes sprayed with devouring anger, "What is my grievance, General Gao is called aggrieved, General Gao fought hard in Talas for five days, and he didn't want the reinforcements to have arrived, and the Qarlu Department who saw the wind and rudder took the opportunity to rebel, which caused the defeat of the Battle of Talas, but some people in the court held General Gao accountable for the handle of attacking Shiguo in the first place, and insisted that the Great Food Army was because General Gao did not appease Shiguo, which made Shiguo attract the Great Food Army, But I don't know that the Great Food Army has long had the idea of going east, secretly colluding with the countries of the Western Regions, if it weren't for General Gao who took us to fight hard in Talas, so that the Great Food Army saw the great military might of the Tang Army, I am afraid that it would not stop in the west of the Green Ridge at this time, but it is a pity that those short-sighted people in the court and the short-sighted people in the court simply put the blame for the failure of Talas on General Gao, fortunately, the emperor Shengming only transferred General Gao back to the court, and granted the opening of the palace with the three divisions, and appointed the right general Yulin, which suppressed the impeachment of the court, and we were not dismissed. It was transferred to other places, Li Siye awarded Huaizhou Assassin History, Duan Xiushi awarded Suide Mansion Zhichong Lieutenant ......, and our bloody soldiers were transferred out of Anxi one by one, and I don't know when we can gather under the command of the tall general again! ”

Listening to the emotion of Captain Qin, Zhen Qian, who was not far away, frowned, the Battle of Talas had already been seen in the Di newspaper, this war related to the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty in later generations completely cut off the westward expansion of the Tang Dynasty.

The Battle of Talas is a major military operation in the Tang Dynasty that Zhen Qian did not know much, and has been commented by later historians many times, regardless of the merits and demerits, as far as the failure of the Battle of Talas is concerned, the blow to the Tang court is very big, and the countries of the Western Regions have since become two-faced, wall-to-wall grass, one side of the Tang Dynasty tribute, on the other hand, secretly colluding with the Great Food, the only unexpected result is that the Western Regions countries became the buffer zone of the world's two major military forces at that time, no one went further in the subsequent expansion, and the two sides had envoys to and fro.

After the Battle of Talas, the Tang Dynasty's influence in the Western Regions was not shaken, and the Tang army in the Western Regions quickly recovered, and Feng Changqing led the Tang army to continue to expand until the Anshi Rebellion.

Some people say that the fundamental reason for the Tang Dynasty's final withdrawal from the struggle for Central Asia was not the defeat of Talas, but the Anshi Rebellion. Due to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, even if the Battle of Talas was won, the Tang Dynasty would still withdraw from Central Asia.

Zhen Qian can only agree with half of this, first of all, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is already very broad, under the feudal autocracy/system, this prosperity is only temporary, it cannot last at all, and from the perspective of Anxi's long-term separation from the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it is inevitable that the whip will be out of reach, which is different from the expansion of the Great Food, there is no feudal country and lord system, and in the era of poor information, it also indirectly determines the size of a country's territory.

Secondly, the fiasco of the Battle of Talas is also an inevitable result, Gao Xianzhi's slaughter of Shiguo was not blamed by the Tang court, it can be seen that his behavior is in line with the attitude of the Tang court towards the countries of the Western Regions, but in the Western Regions, where there are many Hu people and few Han people, such behavior is not a wise move.

In the end, the attitude of the Tang court towards the Hu people, and the sudden rebellion of the Qarlu tribe, did not ring the alarm bell for the Tang court, which led to the Anshi Rebellion after that.

It's a pity that there is no shortage of afterthought critics in the world, but it is a regret medicine that makes people sigh, I just don't know if Tang Xuanzong Li Longji thought of the reason for the fiasco of the Battle of Talas after the An Lushan rebellion, and whether he gritted his teeth ...... Li Linfu, who reused the general.

Although the Battle of Talas took place in the tenth year of Tianbao, less than a year from now, it is not something that Zhen Qian can worry about, and it will only increase the sadness.

Listening to the comments of several military men on the officials of the DPRK and China, Zhen Qian did not say anything to stop him, and it was too sparse and ordinary to complain after drinking, for fear of being listened to by people with a heart, this kind of land of right and wrong still has to go as far as it goes, in case it is touched, it is not something that Zhen Qian can provoke now.

Zhen Qian gave Song Yi a look, and walked out of the restaurant with Qin Meng and Wang You, if you want to say what is the most important thing now, there is no second one except to make money.
