Chapter 617: Sweet Potato Wine
At the end of July, the city of Beijing was hot, lively, and calm.
Liu Yanyuan's matter can be regarded as completely bringing the Great Ryukyus into people's sight and making overseas into people's realization, and more people began to think, is this overseas worth investing in? If it's not worth investing, then why is Your Majesty fighting so hard with those people? It's not a joke to be able to make a degraded official start again from the ** product in a few years, if Your Majesty doesn't have some responsibility, how dare you do this? In many cases, persuasion may not have a direct effect, but indirect proof through other things is often more powerful and convincing than direct statement.
More people, especially those looking for their way in the capital, began to take an interest in overseas affairs. In the Di newspaper, Liu Yanyuan's incident was also used to introduce several sections to introduce overseas customs and customs, which can be regarded as striking while the iron is hot.
The matter of the former military department Shangshu to Yanyuan has not yet dissipated, and the residual warmth is still there. Tian Hongyu, the backfoot of the country, began to make wine on a large scale, and this matter became another hot spot after the Liu Yanyuan incident.
Originally because of the shortage of food and the high price of wine, instantly fell a few heels, Tian Hongyu's sweet potato wine almost swept the entire north with a dumping attitude, almost accounted for most of the market, although it was dumped at a very low price of wine, but Tian Hongyu is still making money to make money, the reason is simple, large-scale planting and large-scale brewing, as well as systematic management, this one-stop business model, greatly reduced costs, and avoided the high price of grain brewing wine, so, It swept the entire northern liquor market at once, and because the price of liquor dropped sharply, more people drank alcohol. This sales volume has also risen. All of a sudden, the entire city of Beijing could only stare dryly at Tian Hongyu's hand cramps when he made money.
By the way. The people gathered in Beijing also had a deeper understanding of the myth that the emperor would make money, others did not dare to do it, the emperor made a big deal as soon as he did it, and what others did not dare to try, the emperor made a million taels of silver.
Originally, because he had not experienced the emperor to make money, because he had seen it with his own eyes, he no longer doubted the emperor's ability to make money, he only hated himself for coming late, and he only hated himself for not following the emperor to make money earlier. This sky full of silver flew everywhere, but he couldn't catch it.
This matter, with the residual heat of Liu Yanyuan's overseas trip, immediately formed a strong wind, and investing overseas, especially in Liaodong, became a hot topic.
The reason is also simple, since the people above the overseas affairs broke their heads to fight, and the emperor made money to make a lot of money, I heard that ordinary people are not allowed to go to Liaodong to buy land, this must be greasy, Liaodong farming, will definitely make money and make a lot of money! Otherwise, how could the emperor have such a strange statement? Otherwise, how could the emperor ask Tian Hong to meet Liaodong to farm?
Looking at the flow of people, the increasingly prosperous city of Beijing.
Cao Yubian's heart was very uncomfortable, he lost to the emperor again, everything seemed to be arranged, one after another, endlessly, he hadn't figured out how to deal with the previous thing, the next thing, it happened again, he was still unprepared, as if all this was in the emperor's arrangement, but he didn't believe that this was the emperor's arrangement, the emperor could be counted so profitable, pinching the time to tease Li "Old in the same year, this time we lost again" Cao Yubian made an appointment with Han Bake to drink tea, and the bitterness on his face and body could already be smelled.
It's just ,........., and you still lose cleanly......" Han Bai added, he knew that there would be such a result, although he didn't know what it would be, but he believed that things would basically not exceed his expectations, and things did not exceed his expectations.
"I originally thought that Liu Yanyuan would be impeached, Your Majesty would, but I didn't expect it, alas" Cao Yubian was very bitter, the emperor not only did not have any loss because of the impeachment of Liu Yanyuan, but used this incident to indirectly publicize overseas affairs, and publicized the matter of buying land overseas, and now, a large group of people broke their heads to follow the emperor to Liaodong to farm, only crying and shouting to beg the emperor, the emperor can now pick and choose, they have worked hard for a long time, and some forces have been attracted to the emperor in an instant. Everyone has seen the real way, and believes in the real silver, not their boring this and that, as long as they can earn silver, it is nothing to follow the emperor, even if they have to pay taxes, it doesn't matter, as long as they earn more than the original, paying taxes is nothing, such as who else can make more money than the emperor today? ,
"It seems that it is impossible to stop His Majesty from selling Liaodong's land......" Han Bai said, rumored that the emperor was going to sell Liaodong's land, now it seems that it has become the general trend, it was originally just Tian Hongyu's joke after drinking, and now it seems that the emperor's left hand Liu Yanyuan publicized the benefits of overseas, and his right hand took Tian Hongyu to promote the benefits of farming, and the two combined, this Liaodong land does not have to follow the emperor's will, to sell, not to distribute it for free......
"Alas......" Cao Yubian is even more bitter, fighting with the emperor, Tian Wa always knows how much the emperor has prepared, and I don't know what the emperor will do next, it seems that there will never be a matter of the emperor, impeachment of Liu Yanyuan is such a big thing, the emperor turned him into a matter of his own benefit in a blink of an eye, even Liu Yanyuan's waste that was dismissed, the emperor did not let go, and waste utilization became a useful tool. Cao Yubian didn't know how to fight the emperor anymore, and the means he still had a little confidence in himself now was to hit his head against the wall. After passing through the emperor's left and right hands, they finally persuaded some non-tax-paying factions who succeeded in immediately going to the emperor, and they could earn money by following the emperor, and they were slapped in the face again and again if they followed them.
"Your Majesty's ambitions are not something you and I can figure out!" Han Bai also said with a trace of bitterness on his face, he actually admired the emperor very much in his heart, Han Bai has always liked to let himself stand on a neutral position to see things and do things, for the emperor to sell Liaodong's land, Han Bai thinks that this is a good thing, there are so many lands in Liaodong, even if it is sold very cheaply, it can be sold for tens of millions of taels of silver, which is a lot of money. There is always no shortage of food for those who can afford land, and there are always rich people, and it is better for these people to pay for land than to take food from the mouths of those who do not have enough to eat.
"What do you think?" Cao Yubian asked.
"What's the idea?" Han Bai asked.
"What do you think about this? The matter of selling land in Liaodong" Cao Yubian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, although the tea was already very strong, Cao Yubian didn't feel a trace of bitterness, and felt like boiling water.
"The sale of land in Liaodong? How else can this stop Your Majesty? That Jinzhou is now under the control of Mao Wenlong, even my student Yuan Chonghuan may not be able to easily meddle in that place, how to stop the mountain Now Donglu has recovered some vitality, if you go there to farm the land by yourself without Your Majesty's consent, I am afraid that Dongyu will disturb it every day! How to make money? Han Bai also smiled bitterly.
"Alas, Your Majesty is clearly telling the world that he will secretly use means!" Cao Yubian said bitterly.
"What do you know, and what can you say? Liaodong has indeed not been recovered, isn't it normal for Dongyu to grab things everywhere? Your Majesty, this is a conspiracy, even if you know it, it will be irresistible..............." Han Bai said.
"Alas, don't say it, I heard that the abbot Tian Hongyu planted sweet potatoes and made a great career, and now the whole Beijing city is full of his wine, today I am bored, it is better to drink his wine to relieve my boredom, the old year to see how..." The emperor tore apart the forces they had gathered in three or two blows.
"Oh? It's a good mood to be old in the same year, come to Fu, come to Fu," Han Bai shouted loudly.
"Sir, what do you command? 、。 The old housekeeper of the Han Mansion, who was standing guard outside the door, immediately came in and bowed in agreement.
"I heard that the sweet potato wine is now making a big name, today I want to taste what is good about that sweet potato wine, go and call the shopkeeper, the master has something to ask" Han Bai immediately instructed his housekeeper.
"Yes, sir, the little one will call it." The old butler immediately bowed down and agreed, and then went to call the shopkeeper.
After a while, the shopkeeper went upstairs and said, "I salute the two masters, I don't know what the two masters are doing with the villain?" "This shopkeeper also knows who is drinking tea here, and he speaks respectfully, but he is not twisted, and he is a little confident.
"Do you know about the sweet potato wine?" Han Bai asked.
"If you go back to the master, the little one knows a little, and I don't know what the master wants to ask?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Do you know why so many people drink that wine? Is it really that good? Han Bai asked, he knew that Cao Yubian asked about sweet potato wine to inquire about the emperor's truth.
"Back to the master's words, to be honest, the sweet potato wine has to be cheap, if you want to say how delicious it is, it may not be, compared with the wine of some old wineries, it may not be delicious." The shopkeeper's answerer.
"What's a cheap way? What kind of positive law? Han Bai asked.
"Back to the master, the sweet potato wine is divided into several grades, 20 wen a catty, 40 wen a catty, 100 wen a catty, ordinary people drink 20 wen a catty, pay attention to some, drink 40 wen a catty. Don't tell the old man, in these days, the price of rice is so high, it is not easy to drink 40 wen of wine, it has to be mixed with water, half of the wine and half of the water can be sold, otherwise it will suffer, so the sweet potato wine is cheap," the shopkeeper introduced in detail. @。
