Chapter 70 Small profiteer
Li Bai has a hundred poems in one bucket, and ten drunken poems in the drunken man!
People like to put the two geniuses together, and the nectar of Yaochi became poetic by the way. With Zhao Zhen's favor, he was full of nobleness and a sky-high price of 1,200 yuan per jar. He was rich and noble, and had a high-end style. It was simply a top-notch artifact for giving gifts, bribery, murder and setting fires, traveling at home, and showing off!
Almost in an instant, the nectar of Yaochi surpassed Sichuan's goose yellow and jumped to the top of the wine list. How many people were holding gold and silver in their hands and wanted to taste it but couldn't get it.
It is said that some people even sold 3,000 yuan on the black market!
Just as everyone was knocked out by this number, Zhao Zhen burned another handful of firewood.
Given the complex process of Yaochi nectar and the extremely low output, only 1,000 jars are produced each year, of which 500 jars are supplied to the home, and the other 500 jars are all marked. They are hosted by the Ministry of Revenue and are publicly bought. According to the bid, they obtain the agent sales rights of Yaochi nectar.
This order is no less than adding fuel to the fire!
1,000 kons are only ten thousand pounds!
Half of the remaining 500 jars are given to Da Nei, which means that each jar of wine is unique and worth a lot!
In addition, the Ministry of Revenue openly bought money, so how could ordinary merchants get involved? Most of them are noble families of the imperial court, and gentry and wealthy merchants. When they resell them outside, many people estimate that a jar of wine is likely to sell for ten thousand yuan!
Xinfeng wine is worth ten thousand, and the nectar of Yaochi is one thousand times more expensive!
Will it make people live?
All the people were dumbfounded and sighed. However, with the wealth of the Song Dynasty, there were still many people who could afford to drink the nectar of the Yaochi Pond.
Especially the generals are ready to grab the agency rights of 500 jars of fine wine, so they don’t have to do anything else. Just selling wine can earn at least one million yuan a year. Is there such a good business?
An old woman in her sixties and seventies, with a handsome young man in her twenties, left the Yang Mansion and headed straight for Cangzhou... The uncle Cao Qi even rushed to the palace and went to find her sister and brother-in-law to help.
All parties started to move for a jar of wine.
The famous name of the Jade Pool of nectar became the Song Dynasty, and it even spread to the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom. The Emperor of Liao Kingdom sent envoys to meet Zhao Zhen and offered two dou of Dongzhu. Zhao Zhen returned to give a jar of nectar.
Wine is more expensive than Dongzhu!
The envoy of the Liao Kingdom returned to the country with nectar in his arms. The Emperor Yelu Zongzhen of the Liao Kingdom was furious. Zhao Zhen dared to bully me like this!
He grabbed the gem-covered waist knife, roared sternly, vowing to lead troops south and give Zhao Zhen a good look. Before sending troops, Yelu Zongzhen personally opened the seal and wanted to drink a bowl of wine, and immediately sent troops to attack Song!
But after drinking a bowl of wine, Yelu Zongzhen immediately got drunk.
The next day, he got up, and the imperial account was filled with generals from the Liao Dynasty. He was filled with righteous indignation and shouted to settle the score with Zhao Zhen. However, Yelu Zongzhen sighed and burst into tears.
"I have countless East Pearls, but only one jar of nectar. If the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty was willing, I would like to exchange ten dou East Pearls for a jar of nectar!"
...
With the recognition of the emperors of the two dynasties, the reputation of nectar was unstoppable. Both the merchants from the Song and Liao dynasties were ready to get nectar from Yaochi.
Xu Jie is a businessman from Youzhou and has a big business. However, since last year, his original partner Cui's family was flattened in one fell swoop. Xu Jie, who lost the source of goods, fell into business difficulties. The fur and medicinal materials on his hands could not be sold, and there was no strong liquor from the Song Dynasty. Although his family was big and had a big business, he couldn't stand it and was empty.
Xu Jie's head turned pale almost all night, and he had to come to the Bazhou court in the Song Dynasty to try his luck. As soon as he arrived in Bazhou, he got good news that someone sold nectar in Bazhou, only 500 kilns per jar.
"Go and get me a jar."
"Yes, the eldest master." The servant ran out for a long time, panting, and brought back a jar to Xu Jie.
Xu Jie carefully lifted the seal, and the rich aroma of wine came to his nose, which made him feel refreshed!
It's really good wine!
He poured the wine into the bowl, looked at it for a while, frowned. There were some undetectable particles in the wine, slightly turbid. After taking a sip, the wine was soaking and caught fire in his mouth!
It's really agitated!
"This is not nectar!" Xu Jie shook his head.
The servant jumped up and cursed: "What a shameless liar, I'll settle the score with them."
"Don't!" Xu Jie thought for a while and asked the servant to get two marten furs as gifts.
"Go and find the wine seller and say I want to have a good talk with them and don't scare them."
The servant didn't understand why, so he did as he did. This time he was familiar with the road and brought the person in an hour. Xu Jie looked up and down. The other party was wearing silk, but it was obviously not very suitable. His face and neck were all purple-red, his palms were rough, and his joints were swollen. Especially when looking at people, he bowed his head unconsciously, and his eyes were filled with disconfidence...
"Haha, my friend, don't you do business often, right?"
The other party was stunned and hurriedly said, "Why don't you do it? I've been doing it for most of my life!"
"For most of your life? How dare you lie to me with fake nectar?" Xu Jie said angrily: "Believe it or not, I will report it to the yamen immediately, just wait for the jail meal!"
As soon as he showed his might, the other party immediately became timid.
"No, no, we are real, really..."
"Bah, do you think I can't drink it? This thing is worth tens of thousands of dollars?"
"Didn't I not sell 10,000 yuan?" The other party stumbled and defended. Xu Jie asked again and again. He finally told the truth... It turned out that they were wine-making craftsmen from the Cui family. The so-called Yaochi nectar is the latest soybean wine produced by the Cui family. Before it was launched, the government searched the house, and even the method of brewing wine was in the hands of the government.
They know that some winemaking process will not be complete. In order to make a living, they can only brew some and want to subsidize their household income.
"This uncle, I just work, I don't know anything. Don't send me to prison. I still have seven or eight children!"
"Hmph, if you dare to lie, you have to wait to go to prison!"
Xu Jie cursed viciously, and the other party kept begging and cried loudly. Xu Jie gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I am a soft-hearted person and can't stand others crying! Let's do this, I'll give you a way out, it depends on whether you can leave!"
"Let's go, let's listen to you."
"I have to ask for all your wine, but I can't give you 500 guan. What about 50 guan?"
"No!" The other party was really anxious. "It's a problem to brew this wine. It requires more food. Hundreds of processes. If you make a mistake, all your previous efforts will be wasted. 50 jin, I might as well farm it."
Xu Jie snorted and said contemptuously: "It's just that I'm greedy for money and life. I'll give you 80 guan. If you dare to ask for more, I'll send you to the yamen immediately!"
"Just, I'll give you 80 guan?" The man muttered for a long time, lowered his head and felt pitiful, and finally nodded, "It's done, I agree, but you have to pay half of the money first. I, I can't believe you, yes, I don't have the money to buy food and hire someone."
Xu Jie thought for a long time, "Yes, but I want to see the wine as soon as possible. Within one month, I will send me 100 jars."
...
After sending the mud legs away, Xu Jie was so happy that he was so happy!
Although this wine is not as good as the legendary Jade Jade, it is strong enough! The key is that it is cheap enough, no one can refuse the Khitan herdsmen!
Besides, how many people have seen the Jade Chi nectar, so they can use this wine to pretend.
80 guan a jar, and then you can sell it for hundreds of guan and make a few times the difference. It's like drinking cold water. It's so cool! The business will come back to life!
Xu Jie was so drunk that he was so drunk that he was also drunk like him, Uncle Wu, who was the man who sold alcohol!
"Fourth brother, do you know? When he said 50 guan a jar, I almost nodded! The Liao man was so stupid that he added 80 guan. How could he know that our jar of wine is the cost of 800 guan. I sold 80 guan. This is how many times it is, I can't even calculate it!"
Uncle Wu fiddled with a few rough fingers and couldn't stop smiling.
...
The drunkard Ouyang Xiu sat in the study and was also filled with emotion. Wang Ning'an stood opposite him. Old Ouyang sighed: "It's really hard for you to think of it. Sell the real thing as fake!"
Wang Ning'an said: "But fakes sold for four times the price of real goods. Isn't it amazing?"
