In mid-May of the second year of Zhongping.
It had been a month since Liu Hao arrived in Liaodong.
"My lord, the four great clans have raised the price of grain. The original price of 200 coins per stone has now risen to 250 coins.”Xi Zhong frowned.
In this month, the four great clans had made many obstacles for them, and at least half of the original officials had been replaced.
Hearing this, Liu Hao frowned slightly and said,""How much money and grain do we have left in the treasury?”
"The 8,000 Gold you brought is now down to 4,000 Gold, and we still have 2,000 dans of rations.”
"How did you use it so quickly?" Liu Hao was a little surprised by the speed at which he spent money.
One gold was equivalent to 10,000 gold coins. According to the original price of grain, it could buy 50 dans of grain.
" My lord, you've expanded the number of soldiers to three thousand. Half of their weapons and armor can't be used anymore, and it took a lot of money to buy them. Also, according to your training, the soldiers need half more food than usual every day.”Xi Zhong complained.
Hearing Xi Zhong's words, Liu Hao rubbed his nose awkwardly. He really didn't know how expensive the daily necessities were.
"Alright, I already have a way to get the money.”
Xi Zhong's eyes lit up. He had thought about it for a long time, but there was no solution. He said,"Do you have any ideas?"
"Wait for me." Liu Hao said and left.
In less than 15 minutes, Liu Hao returned with a wine jar and two wine cups.
Opening the wine jar, a strong fragrance of wine was emitted.
"Try it!"
Xi Zhong's usual drinking was strictly controlled by Liu Hao. Now that Liu Hao asked him to drink, how could he refuse?
"How is it?"
"My lord, it's slightly inferior to the wine you gave us before.”Xi Zhong's mouth had also become picky now.
In the past, the wine that Liu Hao gave Xi Zhong and the others to drink had been exchanged from the system. This time, he brewed the wine himself. He had just arrived in Liaodong for a few days, and he had spent 1,000 luck points to exchange for the method of brewing wine from the system. He had also withdrawn 100 stones of grain from the treasury.
"How much do you think this wine can be sold for per catty?”Liu Hao didn't know much about this, so he could only ask Xi Zhong.
"My lord, how is the cost of this wine?”A glint flashed across Xi Zhong's eyes.
This kind of wine would definitely sell very well. If the cost could be relatively low, the problem of money would be solved.
"The last time I took out a hundred dan of grain from the treasury, I used it to brew this wine. Right now, I have about seven hundred jin of wine.”Liu Hao said.
"My lord, where did you learn this wine-making method?”Xi Zhong looked at Liu Hao curiously.
In this era, one catty of grain could only produce two taels of wine, and the concentration was only eight or nine degrees. It was also very turbid, and there was some lees in it.
The wine-making method that Liu Hao had exchanged from the system allowed him to brew six taels of wine with one catty of grain. Moreover, it was as clear as water and had a concentration of about 40 degrees Celsius.
"You still haven't answered me how much this wine costs per catty.”
"If we mass-produce it, we can sell it for 200 yuan per catty.”Xi Zhong thought for a moment and said.
The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. If there were very few such wines, one jin of wine would be sold for one gold. Those rich people would also buy some to try.
"Then let's buy a restaurant and sell this wine.”
"Yes!"
Now that the money was settled, the big stone in the heart of the loyal actor could finally be lifted.
"After you finish drinking, those bottles should still be there, right? Bring them all to me.”Liu Hao suddenly thought of something.
"My lord, that wine bottle is as beautiful as glass. We can't bear to throw any of them away.”
"Throw this wine into a bottle and present a hundred bottles to His Majesty.”
When Xi Zhong heard Liu Hao's words, he knew what he meant. He said,""Yes!"
Three days later, the restaurant opened for business. The restaurant was called the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, and the wine was called the Drunken Immortal Brew. The names were given by Liu Hao, and they were quite fitting.
"Everyone, our Drunken Immortal Restaurant is opening today. Thank you for coming.”
"Shopkeeper, isn't your restaurant a little too shady? One jin of wine costs 200 yuan, while other restaurants only charge 20 yuan per jin.”The customers who entered the restaurant could not help but complain when they saw the price.
"That's right, I've never seen such expensive wine before. Even the wine offered to His Majesty as a tribute probably isn't this expensive.”Many people said.
Pa!
Suddenly, the waiter who was carrying the wine accidentally dropped the wine jar on the ground. Immediately, a strong fragrance of wine filled the entire restaurant.
This 'carelessness' was naturally arranged on purpose.
"It smells so good!"
"I have never smelled such a strong wine fragrance.”
"This wine is definitely worth 200 yuan per catty. I can still afford 200 yuan. I want to try it. Boss, give me a catty.”
“......”
Many people were moved when they asked about the wine fragrance.
200 yuan was neither too much nor too little. Those who were slightly richer could still afford it. As for those poor people, they could not even eat their fill. How could they have wine to drink?
This wine was originally meant to earn money from those rich people.
With the first person eating the crab, more and more customers followed.
A hundred catties of wine were quickly sold out.
Because the first batch of wine was relatively small, Liu Hao requested for a limited sale. The second batch of wine had already been brewed three days ago and would take about ten days. Just as the first batch of wine was sold out, the second batch of wine came out.
In Gongsun Manor, they had also received news of the Drunken Immortal Inn.
"Big brother, this Drunken Immortal Restaurant is owned by that Liu Hao kid. If this continues, our method of raising prices will not be able to do anything to him.”
"Don't worry, although the price of this Drunken Immortal Brew is high, it definitely requires more food than ordinary wine. We can continue to raise the price of food, then he won't be able to earn much money.”Gong Sun Du said, but he didn't know that Liu Hao's Drunken Immortal Brew was cheaper than ordinary wine.
"Father, we can also send people to inquire about Liu Hao's method of brewing wine. If we can obtain the recipe, it will be of great benefit to our Gongsun family.”Gongsun Kang said.
Gongsun Du's eyes flashed with greed as he said,""Kang 'er, I'll leave this to you."
"Don't worry, Father." Gongsun Kang said confidently.
Liu Hao was completely unaware of what had happened in Gongsun Manor. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
He was the only one who knew how to brew the wine, and all the workers lived in his residence. With him and Patriarch Sunflower around, it didn't matter who came.
At this moment, Liu Hao was busy writing letters.
He was prepared to send Zhou Cang to escort the tribute wine to Luoyang and bring a letter to Cai Yan along the way. Of course, Cai Yong's wine was also included. In the Han Dynasty, whether it was a military general or a civil official, there were few who did not love wine. Many people were addicted to wine.
During this month, Zhou Cang had also become completely loyal. Liu Hao had obtained 100 Fate Points to subdue Zhou Cang. As for Pei Yuan Shao, he was only at the peak of Ming Jin and was not an important figure in history, so he did not have any Fate Points.
" Huff." He blew lightly and dried the ink.
"I'm done. I wonder if Yan 'er will miss me after receiving the letter.”
