Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 45

[Chapter 45 Wine]

“What you said is true?” Zhao Heng asked.

Liang Cheng told him that the King of Yan had recently taken control of Yan County and recruited 20,000 pro-armies.

“This is what His Highness King Yan’s servant said personally.” Liang Cheng said carefully.

Zhao Heng was in doubt.

In this way, he was a little surprised.

“It’s absolutely true. The hot ice sold in Jinling recently came from King Yan’s business.”

“Oh? It’s interesting.” Zhao Heng nodded and continued walking forward, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Liang Cheng was stunned.

Xin Dao guessed wrongly what the emperor was thinking?

Or is it true that the emperor has completely indulged in wine and sex and lost interest in government affairs?

Watching Zhao Heng’s back, he murmured: “Ninth prince, it’s not that our family took the money and didn’t do anything, it’s because you don’t fall into the emperor’s eyes.”

Shaking his head, he ordered a little eunuch to deliver the letter to Mi Your lord, turn around and go back.

Zhao Heng, who was heading towards the harem, stopped in front of a rockery.

He whispered to himself: “The Yuan family in Yanzhou is also a tiger and a wolf! You can’t pay attention to King Yan right now, otherwise the Yuan family will regard him as a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh, and want to get rid of it quickly.” Among the

many princes, he did not pay much attention to the ninth son. .

But Zhao Xu was able to take root in Yan County, he was still faintly happy.

After all, Zhao Xu is the prince, representing the Dasong royal family. With him in Yanzhou, it means that the royal family’s power has penetrated into Yanzhou.

He understood what Liang Cheng meant, but he still didn’t have much hope for King Yan’s containment of the Yuan family. The Yuan family was not a small wealthy family in Yan County.

The only thing he can do about this matter is to continue to maintain his indifference to King Yan, in order to save King Yan’s life.

“Life or death depends on your own ability.” Zhao Heng looked north.

To him, the King of Yan is more like a willow that he planted unintentionally in Yanzhou, and now it is sprouting buds.

If it flourishes in the future, it will become his tentacles in Yanzhou; if it withers, it will be fine.

…

Yancheng.

Ever since the Huang and Du families were dismantled, there have been a lot of guests almost every day in front of the palace.

In addition to the gift-giving visits from the rich families in the counties of Yan County, there are also merchants who come here to buy wine.

In the days when Zhao Xu was fighting against the powerful clan, the merchants did not stop.

They have sold wine from the palace to every corner of Yanzhou.

Once the pure and luscious fermented rice wine of Wangfu was released, it immediately defeated the famous local fine wine and dominated the local area.

And this attracts more merchants to come to the palace to purchase.

The influence of Wangfu fine wine in Yanzhou dispelled their last doubts.

Some merchants even borrow money to buy wine and sell it elsewhere, competing for the first pot of gold.

“It’s gone, it’s gone, today’s wine is sold out.”

Standing in front of the door, Zhou Yi dispersed the merchants who blocked the door.

“Oh, I’ve been waiting all day and I still can’t wait. I’m so mad.”

“Me too, I won’t go back tonight, and I have to wait until I sleep at the gate of the Prince’s Mansion.”

“…”

The merchants who didn’t get the wine were enthusiastic . Should.

Businesses that make a steady profit without losing money are rare these days, and the fine wine of the palace is one of them.

It is said that a merchant returned with a thousand jars of wine in exchange for a thousand horses.

A thousand jars of wine cost fifteen thousand taels of silver.

A horse can be sold for 30 taels, and after this change of hands, you can get 30,000 taels of silver, a net profit of 15,000 taels.

As soon as the news spread, the merchants were jealous, and they all thought of selling the wine to farther places to make a fortune.

“Let’s go, let’s all go.” Zhou Yi frowned and shouted again.

Seeing the merchants lingering and refusing to leave, he ignored them and closed the gate of the middle courtyard.

Entering the east courtyard through the side door of the middle courtyard, he found King Yan in the gazebo of the east courtyard.

At this moment, King Yan was writing something, Feng’er and Luan’er stood by and watched.

“Your Highness, it is better to build a few more retorts. There are too many merchants ordering wine.” Zhou Yi said.

Zhao Xu stopped writing, “Don’t worry, when the courtyard behind the palace is tidied up, the wine shop can be expanded, and there are fifty retorts inside.”

These days, he naturally realized the popularity of wine.

So he bought a house behind the palace.

These houses are all being remodeled, and in the future there will be other things produced besides wineries.

Zhou Yi nodded, “Your Highness, the little one will set off with Wang Yanzhong tomorrow, the affairs of the palace…”

Zhou Yi is only temporarily receiving the sundries of the palace, and his main task is to go to the states to recruit people with Wang Yanzhong.

Moreover, he himself doesn’t like these trivial matters.

In the past two days, Wang Yanzhong told him that he was ready, and he was so excited that he didn’t sleep last night.

Zhao Xu frowned, and took over the power of the government office. Now Liu Fu is a quasi-king Fu, very busy.

Zhou Yi also has its role.

But in this way, no one will take care of the chores of eating and drinking in the palace.

The other servants were either clumsy or dull and did not please him.

“What’s so difficult about this, Your Highness, why don’t you hand over the miscellaneous items of the palace to your servants.” Feng’er rolled her eyes and asked Ying generously.

Zhao Xu had a sudden realization that Feng’er’s pungent temper was indeed suitable for managing affairs.

And being close to him, it couldn’t be more suitable, and the most important thing is to rest assured.

“That’s right, why did this king forget you.” Zhao Xu looked up at Feng’er, “In this case, you can go to the post now.”

Zhou Yi heaved a sigh of relief, feeling relaxed for a while.

He bid farewell and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

“Come on, Feng’er, let’s do this first.” There were only three people left, and Zhao Xu pointed to the paper.

The wine in Wangfu has not been named yet.

That’s all when I wasn’t famous before.

Now that Yan County is so hot, it would be too worthless to not even have a name.

Nowadays, no matter how bad the product is, it must be packaged carefully.

After all, no matter in ancient times or in modern times, being rich always pays attention to face-to-face.

At the same time, based on the reactions of merchants.

He decided to price the distilled wine at fifteen taels a jar, and the name was “Shilixiang”.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Feng’er took the paper and went happily.

She loves to be in charge the most, and she is overjoyed to get this job.

Luan’er is a little envious, she can play with King Yan like Feng’er.

However, her gentle temperament made her unable to let go.

He was looking at Feng’er when he suddenly felt itchy in his ears.

It turned out that Zhao Xu was blowing wind in her ear.

Luan’er’s face suddenly flushed with embarrassment.

Zhao Xu smiled and said: “Don’t be envious, this king treats you and Feng’er equally.”

Since Zhao Xu woke up, Luan’er has been used to the flamboyance of King Yan.

I also wondered with Feng’er how Yan Wang’s temper was much more frivolous than three years ago.

But there is no solution.

Zhao Xu laughed even worse.

Reborn, he made no secret of his true nature as a man.

This is the life of Jiangshan beauty, so why watch two delicate beauties pretending to be Liu Xiahui.

However, just as he was about to continue teasing Luan’er, he suddenly saw Feng’er turned back with a panicked expression.

When she arrived in front of Zhao Xu, she handed a name card to Zhao Xu, “Your Highness, it’s not good, someone from the Yuan family has come.”

Everyone’s expressions changed after hearing this.
