In the face of Li Lao's goodwill, Liu Yao naturally pretended to decline, but Li Lao had been in the officialdom for a long time and understood the truth of repeatedly persuading him. In the end, Liu Yao's kindness was difficult to refuse, and he had to accept it.
"Yao 'er, this person is Mi Huan, the richest man in Xiang County. He knows that you formed the Revolutionary Army for the sake of the well-being of the people, so he is willing to help you.”
Although Liu Zong expressed it very tactfully, Liu Yao could still feel the faint disdain in his words.
'The richest man?'
Liu Yao looked down on his cheap father. Just because he was a businessman, there was such a big difference in his attitude towards guests?
The prejudice against merchants in ancient times was really deep-rooted!
Mei Huan was already standing respectfully at the side. After Liu Zong introduced himself, he hurriedly raised his glass to invite him. His face was full of smiles, and his attitude was extremely humble.
" If it weren't for the Crown Prince, the County of Xiang would have been destroyed. Although the Yellow Turbans have been defeated, there is still a chance for them to make a comeback. I am willing to contribute ten thousand gold, one hundred thousand stones of grain, and three hundred horses to help the Crown Prince expand the Revolutionary Army and ensure the peace of the four directions.”
Ten thousand gold?
One hundred thousand grains?
Three hundred horses?
Liu Yao was immediately shocked. Although he had not been in this era for long, he had the most basic judgment of the prices here. If these things were converted into money, they would definitely fill up a mansion!
Since it was a donation, then this money definitely wouldn't be all of Mei Huan's family assets!
Liu Yao vaguely remembered that there was a big merchant in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era called Mi…
One was Mi Huan?
One was Mi Zhu?
They both had the surname Mi. Could there be some relationship between the two of them?
Liu Yao couldn't help but ask curiously," Your surname is Mi. May I ask if you have any relationship with the East Sea's Mi Family?"”
"Prince, you know about the East Sea's Mei Family?”Mei Huan was also stunned." I won't hide it from you, Crown Prince. I'm from a branch family of the Mei Clan. I'm actually from the same clan as the Mei Clan of the Eastern Sea.”
Mei Huan and Mei Zhu actually shared the same bloodline!
One had to know that the Mi Family sold smuggled salt and was an existence that could rival a country!
No wonder Mei Huan had such a strong financial background. He was actually a branch of the Mei Family. This was really a pie from the sky, giving him a big sponsor for nothing!
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!" Liu Yao bowed solemnly,""You have already helped me with your family's resources. You are really a righteous person. I am very grateful.”
The moment he said this, everyone was shocked!
However, it was really unexpected for a lowly merchant to receive such an honor!
Mi Huan was slightly startled and revealed a surprised expression. He quickly said humbly,"I'm just a merchant. I'm uncouth. How can I receive such an honor? I don't deserve it!”
"No matter what profession it is, its existence is reasonable and has its value!" Liu Yao laughed. For example, at this moment, if I didn't have your support, how could I, Liu Yao, expand my armaments? Without enough armaments, how could I have the well-being of the people!
Family Head Mo, don't belittle yourself!”
Liu Yao didn't continue. After all, the concept of this era couldn't be changed with one or two sentences. Moreover, if he said too much, it would make some people feel awkward.
Moreover, Liu Yao had already achieved his goal. He had expressed his goodwill and closed the distance between him and the tycoon with this sentence.
Did you not see that the hesitant Mi Huan suddenly became enlightened and refreshed? The eyes that looked at Liu Yao were filled with a faint sense of respect.
"You still know how to rope him in appropriately and are not in a hurry to achieve success. As expected of my son!”
Liu Zong thought to himself. After introducing all the guests in the hall, the next thing to do was to drink and sing.
But…
Liu Yao really couldn't get used to drinking this kind of yellow wine at the end of the Han Dynasty. It felt like drinking horse urine, or even worse. Anyway, Liu Yao really couldn't swallow it.
"Uncles!" Liu Yao said," I'm very happy to have won against the Yellow Turbans today. I have a few jars of peerless wine hidden in my house. I'm willing to offer them to you and drink with you!”
"Peerless wine?" County Magistrate Wang Hui stroked his goatee." To be honest, I've been drinking for more than 20 years. I've tasted good wine everywhere. The only one who can be called a good wine is Du Kang!”
"The wine that nephew hid, could it really be Du Kang wine?”Old Man Li was already slightly tipsy." This old man had the honor of tasting Dukang wine. It can definitely be called a fine wine, but this is peerless..."
Old Man Li shook his head lightly and revealed a disdainful expression. His meaning was very clear. In his heart, Du Kang wine was not a peerless wine. Could it be that Liu Yao's house had wine that was better than Du Kang wine?
"I've traveled for more than twenty years, and the best wine I've ever drunk is this Du Kang wine.”Mi Huan said with interest," If the prince really hid the Du Kang wine, I can savor it."”
"You have good wine in your house?" Liu Zong was a little dumbfounded." Yao 'er, why did Father…"
Before he could say the word " I don't know ", Liu Zong suddenly realized that something was wrong. Wasn't this destroying his own child's stage? Hence, he swallowed it back.
Although Liu Yao said 'disappointed', there was no trace of guilt on his face. In fact, there was even a faint smile on his face as he said softly,"This wine is called Drunken Immortal Brew. Uncles, why don't you try it?”
"Only this much?"
County Magistrate Wang Hui was slightly disappointed.
One had to know that the wine of the late Han Dynasty was filled with earthen jars that were half the height of a person and sealed with mud. When opened, one jar was enough for more than ten people to drink for a day.
Although the Drunken Immortal Brew in front of him was also a jar of wine, it was only the size of a palm. In the eyes of Wang Hui, who liked wine, it was only enough to satisfy his craving. It was not enough to satisfy his craving at all!
However, what Wang Hui did not know was that the alcohol content of the wine from the late Han Dynasty could not even compare to the beer of the future. However, the alcohol content of this Drunken Immortal Brew was comparable to the original pulp wine!
One jar was stronger than ten!
"This…is indeed exquisite."
Old Man Li also revealed a hint of disappointment.
"..." Mei Huan was also slightly embarrassed and kept silent.
The most awkward person was Liu Zong. He was the hereditary King Pei. Even if Liu Yao lost face, it was his people who lost face. Others would only say that King Pei's residence did not treat him well, not that Liu Yao could not treat him well.
" Yao 'er…" Liu Zong was rather displeased.
However, Liu Yao was not affected by the disappointed looks of the people in the hall. Instead, he waved his hand and said,""Although this alcohol tolerance is low, it's all concentrated essence!，Come, open the jar and pour the wine!"
Bang!
As soon as the mud seal was removed, a rich wine fragrance immediately spread out. Even Wang Hui, who had drunk for decades, had never heard of such a rich wine fragrance.
The fragrance of the wine permeated the air, which meant that spiritual energy permeated the air!
Everyone was shocked!
Liu Zong was the most shocked!
There really was…a peerless wine?
There were too many things to do recently. After this period of time, there would be an update!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082420183:17PM
