Chapter 615 Sweet Potato Wine

Beijing city at the end of July is hot, lively and peaceful.

What happened to Liu Yanyuan completely brought the Great Ryukyu into people's sight, and brought overseas into people's sight. More people began to think, is this overseas worth investing in?If it's not worth the investment, then why did His Majesty compete so hard with those people?It's not a joke that a demoted official can be restored from the eighth or ninth rank in a few years. If His Majesty doesn't take any responsibility, how can he dare to do this?In many cases, persuasion may not have any direct effect, but indirect proof through other things is often more powerful and convincing than direct speaking.More people, especially those who were looking for their way in the capital, became interested in overseas affairs.In the mansion newspaper, taking advantage of Liu Yanyuan's incident, a few special sections were opened to introduce overseas customs and customs, which can be regarded as striking while the iron is hot.

The matter of Liu Yanyuan, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, has not dissipated, and the remaining warmth is still there.Tian Hongyu, the head of the country, began to brew wine on a large scale. This incident became another hot spot after the Liu Yanyuan incident.

The price of wine, which was originally high due to the shortage of food, fell several times in an instant. Tian Hongyu's sweet potato wine almost swept across the entire north with a gesture of dumping, almost occupying most of the market, even though it was dumped at an extremely low price However, Tian Hongyu is still making a lot of money. The reason is simple. Large-scale planting, large-scale brewing, and systematic operation. This one-stop business model greatly reduces costs and avoids The brewing of food, which has a high price, was used to make wine, so it swept the entire northern wine market at once, and because the price of wine dropped sharply, more people drank it, and the sales volume also increased.All of a sudden, the entire Beijing city could only stare at Tian Hongyu making money and getting hand cramps.

By the way, the people gathered in Beijing also have a deeper understanding of the myth that the emperor will make money. If others dare not do it, the emperor will make a big deal as soon as he does it. If others dare not try, the emperor will make money Millions of taels of silver.

People who had never witnessed the emperor making money before, no longer doubted the emperor's ability to make money because they had seen it with their own eyes. They only hated themselves for being late and for not making money with the emperor sooner.This sky full of silver is flying everywhere, but I can't always catch it.

This matter, taking advantage of 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 are fighting over overseas affairs, and the emperor is making a lot of money, I heard that ordinary people are not allowed to go to Liaodong to buy land. To burst ah!Otherwise, how could the emperor have such a strange statement?Otherwise, why did the emperor ask Tian Hong to go farming when he met Liaodong?

……

Looking at the busy flow of people, the increasingly prosperous Beijing city.

Cao Yubian felt very uncomfortable, and lost to the emperor again, everything seemed to be arranged, one after another, endlessly, he hadn't figured out how to deal with the last one, and the next one. It happened again, he was still unprepared, as if all of this was in the emperor's arrangement, but he didn't believe that it was the emperor's arrangement, the emperor could calculate it so accurately, and tease him in time?
"In the same year, we lost again this time..." Cao Yubian asked Han Yu to drink tea, and he could already smell the bitterness all over his face and body.

"...It's a clean loss..." Han Yan added, he knew there would be such a result. Although he didn't know the specifics, he believed that things would basically not exceed his expectations, and things did not. Exceeded his expectations.

"Originally, I thought that if Liu Yanyuan was impeached, His Majesty would..., I didn't expect, alas..." Cao Yubian was very bitter. Not only did the emperor not suffer any loss from the impeachment of Liu Yanyuan, but he used this incident to indirectly promote overseas affairs. , publicized the thing about buying land overseas, and now, a large group of people broke their heads and wanted to follow the emperor to plant land in Liaodong, and all they had to do was cry and beg the emperor. They have worked hard for a long time, and some of the forces they have won over are wiped out by the emperor in an instant. Everyone has seen the real way and believed in real money, not their boring this and that. As long as you can earn money, it’s okay to work with the emperor, even if you have to pay taxes, as long as you earn more than before, paying taxes is nothing. Who else in the world is better at making money than the emperor?
"It seems that there is no way to stop His Majesty from selling the land of Liaodong..." Han Yu said something, the rumor that the emperor wanted to sell the land of Liaodong, now it seems that it has become the general trend, and it was just Tian Hongyu's after drinking Jokingly, now it seems that Liu Yanyuan in the emperor's left hand promotes the benefits of overseas, and Tian Hongyu in his right hand promotes the benefits of farming. The combination of the two means that the land in Liaodong has to follow the emperor's will and should be sold, not free distribution...

"Ah..." Cao Yubian was even more bitter, fighting with the emperor, he never knew how many backhands the emperor had prepared, and he didn't know what the emperor would do next. It seemed that there would never be a matter of the emperor, impeachment of Liu Yanyuan was as big as In the blink of an eye, the emperor turned him into something beneficial to him. Even Liu Yanyuan, who was dismissed, the emperor did not let go of it. The waste was turned into a useful tool.Cao Yubian didn't know how he should fight the emperor. The only way he had a little confidence in himself now was to bang his head against the wall.After going through the emperor's left and right hands, they managed to persuade some of the successful non-payers to join the emperor immediately, and they could earn money by following the emperor, but they were beaten in the face again and again by following them.

"Your Majesty's ambition is far beyond what you and I can fathom!" Han Yu said with a trace of bitterness on his face. In fact, he still admired the emperor very much in his heart. In his heart, Han Yu always liked to put himself in a neutral position. Looking at things and doing things, Han Yu thinks that the emperor sold the land in Liaodong. A lot of money.People who can afford land are never short of food, there are always rich people, and it is better for these people to pay for land than to pay for food from those who can't eat enough.

"What does Lao Tongnian have in mind?" Cao Yubian asked.

"What idea?" Han Yu asked.

"Just what do you think about this matter? The sale of 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. Same as plain water.

"The land sale in Liaodong? How can this matter stop His Majesty? Jinzhou is now under the control of Mao Wenlong. Even my student Yuan Chonghuan may not be able to easily intervene in that place. How can this be stopped? Now Donglu is I have regained some vitality, if I go there to farm by myself without His Majesty's consent, I am afraid that Donglu will harass me every day! How can I make money?" Han Yu also smiled wryly.

"Alas... Your Majesty is clearly telling the world that he will use tricks secretly!..." Cao Yubian said bitterly.

"This..., so what if you know, what can you say? It is true that Liaodong has not been recovered. Isn't it normal for the Eastern captives to rob things everywhere? Your Majesty is a conspiracy. Even if you know it, it is irresistible..." Han Yu said sentence.

"Oh... let's not talk about it. I heard that Tian Hongyu, the head of the country, planted sweet potatoes to make wine and made a huge career. Now his wine is everywhere in Beijing. I feel bored today. Why don't I drink his wine? Relieve the boredom, what do you think of the same year..." Cao Yubian was troubled, now that the emperor has earned money and reputation, and has even attracted more aristocratic families, their power is getting weaker and weaker Well, the ones who were planning and accumulating some strength to fight the emperor now, I'm afraid it won't work. The emperor smashed the forces they gathered to pieces.

"Oh? Old Tongnian is in a good mood, Lai Fu, Lai Fu..." Han Yu shouted loudly.

"Master, what's your order?" The old butler 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 has become famous nowadays, but today I want to taste the goodness of that sweet potato wine. Go and call the shopkeeper, the master has something to ask..." Han Yu immediately ordered himself housekeeper.

"Yes, master, I'll call you now." The old housekeeper immediately bowed and agreed, and then went to call the shopkeeper.

After a while, the shopkeeper came upstairs.

"I salute the two masters. I wonder why the two masters called the villain?" The shopkeeper also knew who was drinking tea here, and he spoke respectfully without being coy, with a bit of confidence.

"Do you know about the sweet potato wine?" Han Yu asked.

"Returning to the master, I know a little bit, but I don't know what aspects the master wants to ask?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Then do you know why so many people drink that wine? It's really so delicious?" Han Yu asked, he knew that Cao Yubian's question about sweet potato wine was to find out the reality of the emperor.

"Returning to the master, to be honest, the sweet potato wine has to be cheap. If it is delicious, it may not be good. Compared with the wines of some old wineries, it may not be good." How did the shopkeeper answer.

"What's the cheap way? What's the real way?" Han Yu asked.

"Returning to the master, there are several grades of sweet potato wine, twenty cents a catty, forty cents a catty, and one hundred cents a catty. Ordinary people drink twenty cents a catty, and they are more particular. , just drink [-] Wen a catty. To tell the truth, the price of rice is so high these days, it is not easy to drink wine worth [-] Wen. It has to be mixed with water, half of the wine Only half of the water can be sold, otherwise you will suffer a loss, so the sweet potato wine is cheap..." The shopkeeper introduced in detail.
