Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 22

[Chapter 22]

East City of Yancheng.

As soon as the two palace servants put the wine jar somewhere, it immediately attracted the attention of many common people and merchants.

Even some wealthy children who were wandering around came over to join in the fun.

“Yo, what kind of wine, the smell is really strong.” As soon as

the wine jar was opened, the aroma of the wine rushed into the noses of the people around.

Immediately, the saliva of several drunkards flowed down.

A family member of the royal family was full of pride, recalling the words that King Yan taught him, and said: “To be honest, this jar is the secret wine made by His Royal Highness King Yan. As soon as we got a jar today, His Highness sent the two of us to the east. Let everyone drink it for free.” Another servant said: “That’s right, so if everyone drinks it and thinks it’s good, all you need to do is   shout

a few times for His Highness’s fine wine.”

commotion.

The people behind squeezed forward, for fear that it would not be their turn.

The people in front were pushed and shoved, and soon there was almost no place for the servants of the Wangfu to stand.

And with the news of free wine, more and more people flocked to Dongshi.

The palace servants were not dissatisfied with the crowded crowd.

Instead, that’s what they expected.

So, instead of rushing to share the wine, they continued to wait…

The Zhang family.

Zhang Qian felt like he had eaten dead flies these days.

First, the art of ice making sent one hundred thousand taels of silver and some land property to Yan Wangfu.

Now, because of his son, he was blackmailed by King Yan for one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Even though his Zhang family has a big family and a great business, they can’t stand such a toss.

The ice making technique is nothing more than that, and it is possible to earn it back.

But the one hundred thousand taels of silver that was redeemed could never be returned.

Because he felt sorry for the money, he stayed up all night.

He was sighing and drinking tea when he saw the butler coming in a hurry with an anxious expression on his face.

“What’s the matter, I’m in a panic.” Zhang Qian was in a bad mood, and his tone was naturally bad.

Butlers are careful.

He knew that Zhang Qian was like a wounded tiger, who would eat people if he was not careful.

Several servants have already suffered from bad luck, and some were even directly beaten to death.

“Master, there is something trivial that I don’t know whether I should say it or not,” said the housekeeper.

“Fart off!” Zhang Qian didn’t even look up.

Swallowing, the housekeeper said: “Someone came to report that people from Prince Yan’s Mansion gave free wine in Dongshi, saying that it was the secret wine made by the Palace.”

Zhang Qian suddenly raised his head when he heard this.

The largest brewery in Yan County belongs to his Zhang family.

And because the Zhang family is so powerful, only his Zhang family can sell wine in Yan County.

Therefore, the profit from selling wine every year is very rich.

Now that King Yan’s Mansion is distributing wine for free in Dongshi, it must have the idea of selling wine.

Isn’t this stealing his business.

“King Yan, you are courting death!” Zhang Qian slapped the stone table with his palm.

Now, he only hated that time passed too slowly.

Otherwise, as soon as the people from Beidi came, he would be able to deal with King Yan, so why bother to be angry every day.

But now, he can only watch Yan Wang erode his own interests step by step.

“Send someone to taste it, I don’t believe that King Yan can brew any good wine.” Zhang Qian said.

He is still very confident in his own fermented rice.

The butler replied yes, not daring to stay for a moment, turned around and left.

at the same time.

The news attracted the attention of other powerful families, and they sent people pretending to be ordinary people to sneak into Dongshi to find out the truth.

And some merchants who came to Yan County to do business from other states also decided to join in the fun after hearing the news.

East City.

Seeing people have almost come.

The two servants took out the small wine glasses they had prepared.

Such a wine glass can only hold a small sip at a time.

In this way, more people can taste it.

“Big guys, don’t squeeze, come one by one, line up, and those who don’t line up won’t be given.” The

servant poured a glass of wine and started yelling.

Pass the wine to the first person.

This man was dressed in silk and satin, with a big belly, like a merchant.

After getting the wine, the merchant drank it without hesitation.

“Ah…” With an exclamation, Shang Jia’s eyes straightened.

The delicious wine stimulated every nerve of his taste.

The drink in his stomach aroused his addiction to alcohol, making him feel like a dream for a moment, enjoying it very much.

“It’s so delicious.” The merchant yelled and refused to leave.

Looking at the servant of the palace beggingly, he said: “Please give me another drink.”

The people behind saw the merchant’s exaggerated performance, and they couldn’t wait any longer.

Three or five people immediately yelled and let the merchant go.

One with a quick temper directly dragged the merchant to the back.

The two servants smiled, they had already tasted the wine.

The performance of the merchants did not surprise them.

Then came the second person.

Like the merchants, after drinking the first cup, they wanted to drink the second cup, but they were also turned away.

After leaving, he stood with the first merchant, as if a flame was burning in his heart.

Can’t wait to rush in and grab the wine home.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth who had tasted the wine stood with him.

“This is simply the fairy wine in the sky. If you can drink enough, it will be worth dying in this life.” A drunkard’s eyes were red.

Listening to the exclamation of the drinkers in front, the hearts of those who have tasted it are even more piercing.

I don’t know who desperately shouted suddenly, “Come on, grab a drink with me, it’s worth dying tonight.” When the

words came out, the crowd immediately became commotion.

The dense crowd rushed towards the servants of the palace.

The two palace servants were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the wine brewed by King Yan would cause riots.

They wanted to stop it, but Naihe couldn’t stop the torrent of the crowd and was soon submerged.

The wine jars were also snatched, and Dongshi was completely in chaos.

When the commotion subsided, they saw that the ground was in a mess, and the wine jars and glasses were all gone.

The two servants looked bitter, so they had to go back home.

at this time.

Three strong men are heading towards Zhang’s house.

They held a wine jug in their hands, with only a little white wine in it.

That’s what they got from the swollen nose and swollen face.

After entering the mansion, they immediately presented the wine to Zhang Qian.

“Is this the wine made by King Yan?” Zhang Qian knew he had lost just by smelling the wine.

The three nodded.

Trembling, he poured out a glass of wine and drank it down.

The rich aroma of wine melts in the mouth.

The wine was hot, but his heart was cold.

Although he doesn’t want to admit it.

But in front of this wine, the green ant wine brewed by his Zhang family is just a fart.

…

Wangfu.

The first time the news of the secret fine wine spread.

Dong An and Yang He arrived at the palace, only Lu Ran didn’t come because he went to the county soldier’s office.

While others were blushing over a glass of wine, Dong An and Yang He had already had their fill.

After all, after making an oath with the Wangfu, they and Zhao Xu are considered to be in the same boat.

“Your Highness, there is nothing better than this wine in the world.”

Yang He was as drunk as mud, while Dong An was still somewhat sober.

He knew clearly that King Yan planned to do wine business by doing this.

He said: “Your Highness, I don’t know how much this fine wine is worth. Our Dong family is willing to buy a thousand jars and ship them to sell elsewhere.” As

soon as he finished speaking, a servant came rushing over.

“Your Highness, many wealthy people came outside the door and said they wanted to see His Highness.”

Zhao Xu smiled smugly upon hearing this.

Clearly, fine wine has more appeal than ice.

Now that the fish have come, it’s time to catch the net.
