When the imperial edict arrived, Chen Feng had already arrived at the Zhongshan Kingdom in Jizhou.
From Jizhou to Youzhou, they had to pass through the Zhongshan Kingdom.
More importantly, Chen Feng was looking for a business partner.
What he said to Guo Jia that he knew how to brew wine wasn't just empty talk.
When he returned to Liaodong and took control of Liaodong, he would start brewing wine.
Weapons, food, and warhorses were strategic resources, so they naturally couldn't be sold easily.
Wine was a commodity that Chen Feng used to earn money.
Although Chen Feng was not a wine-maker in the 21st century, he was not a wine-maker.
However, as a wine lover, he had also looked up many wine-making methods on the Internet.
The simplest grape wine was very easy to brew.
The reason why wine was scarce in this era was because grapes were scarce.
In the current era, grapes were the most popular fruit in the Western Regions, but they were rarely seen in the Central Plains.
This was because very few people could grow living grapes.
As a result, wine was very expensive in this era. It was said that someone once used a bottle of wine to exchange for an official position with real power from Zhang Rang.
How could growing grapes and brewing wine stump Chen Feng?
Other than wine, there were also various fruit wines. It was simply too easy for the current Chen Feng.
As for white wine, it required a certain level of skill.
However, this could be slowly explored.
After the wine was brewed, an agent was needed to sell it.
After all, as the governor of a county, it was impossible for Chen Feng to keep promoting his products to others. That would be too beneath his status.
There were many merchant families at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but most of them were a little far away. The closest was the Zhen family of Wuji County in Zhongshan State.
Similarly, the Zhen family was also selling food. This was what Chen Feng needed at the moment.
Gene fusions were all big eaters, and the amount of food they needed was terrifying.
Although Chen Feng had divine rice that had been fused with the bamboo gene, it would still take 20 days for it to mature.
Moreover, in order to not attract the attention of the outside world, Chen Feng could not plant too many at once.
Therefore, to solve the food problem, Chen Feng needed to buy food from the outside world for the time being.
"I didn't know that Lord Prefect had graced us with your presence. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you from afar.”
In the Zhen family's main hall, the Zhen family's head, Zhen Yi, said.
He used to be the magistrate of Shang Cai. Later, he offended someone and was dismissed from his official position. His entire family moved to Wuji County and developed into a businessman.
Divine Wind General Chen Feng was the new Liaodong Prefecture Governor.
Zhen Yi did not expect Chen Feng to return to his house and was a little surprised.
Chen Feng smiled and said,"Patriarch Zhen, my current identity is not the Divine Wind General, nor the Governor of Liaodong. I'm just a merchant who came to discuss business with you."”
"Business? Merchant?"
Zhen Yi was stunned. In this era, the status of merchants was very low.
Scholars, farmers, merchants, businessmen, no matter how rich they were, they would be looked down upon.
Farmers and workers were fine, and they did not have too many prejudices against merchants.
However, scholars were different. When they saw merchants, they treated them like lowly slaves.
The funny thing was that these scholars sometimes had to rely on merchants to support them.
Chen Feng, as the famous Divine Wind General and the governor of a county, had actually come personally to discuss business with him. He even suspected that he was hallucinating.
Chen Feng smiled calmly. In the 21st century, businessmen were the mainstream. He naturally did not have any thoughts of looking down on businessmen."You didn't hear wrongly. I'm here to discuss business with you.”
Zhen Yi looked deeply at Chen Feng. This Divine Wind General was really different from the rest.
He took a sip of tea to calm himself down before saying,"May I know what business the Prefect wants to discuss with this commoner?”
When it came to business, Zhen Yi seemed to have become a completely different person.
Chen Feng smiled and said,"Your Zhen family is a big merchant in Jizhou. They are involved in food, weapons, warhorses, wine, salt, and so on."
What I want to talk to you about is wine."
"Governor, you have a source of wine?" Zhen Yi raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.”
Chen Feng nodded. Not only was there low-alcohol white wine that was popular in the world, but there were also higher-concentration spirits.
There are also rare wines and other fruit wines. As for how they came about, you don't have to ask.
Three months or so, I'll provide you with the first batch of fruit wine first, and then we'll set the price based on the quality.
I wonder if you're interested in becoming my agent?”
Zhen Yi did not doubt Chen Feng's words. After all, the mayor of a county would not lie to him about such a thing.
"Agent?" he asked after some thought. How?"
In this era, there was no such thing as an agent. Zhen Yi seemed to understand the meaning behind it, but he did not know the specific situation.
"I'll provide you with an endless supply of wine, and you'll help me sell it." Chen Feng smiled.
I want 80% of the income and you get 20%.”
"Only twenty percent?"
Zhen Yi frowned. He was not very satisfied with the price.
Chen Feng shook his head and said,"20% is already very high. You don't have to pay the cost. You only need to provide connections and help me sell the wine."
20% is basically a gift to you.”
