Lu Xiu took out all the money he had to buy the materials needed for the construction. The most expensive one was the marble slab.
According to the plan he had designed, he realized that the few thousand strings he had were not enough!
Lu Xiu couldn't be bothered to calculate how much it would cost. In addition, the wedding gift was not a small sum, so Lu Xiu felt that he had to prepare tens of thousands of dollars to be prepared.
According to Old Man Li, it was only a few thousand strings of strings. It was not even enough to build a toilet for him.
Looking at Old Man Li, who was obviously a little drunk, Lu Xiu could not help but look at him with disdain.
Although a few thousand strings were not a huge sum of money, it was definitely enough to buy a first-class mansion in Chang 'an.
Of course, Old Man Li's son," Ergou," had given him thousands of strings of strings of money, which meant that his family background was not bad. However, it could not be as exaggerated as he said!!
"Hahaha, big brother, I'm here again.”
Just as Lu Xiu was thinking of a way to get money, a big bearded face blocked his way.
"Are you the old brother who changed the wine last time?" The other party's face was really impressive, so Lu Xiu quickly recognized him.
"Hehe, so big brother remembers me. I caught 200 catties of locusts and wanted to trade them for some wine.”Cheng Yaojin said happily.
"I remember that I gave you more than 30 catties last time. Have you finished it?”Lu Xiu said in surprise.
"I finished it. Originally, if it was just me drinking, I could drink for three or four days, but I have many fair-weather friends, so I drank so quickly.”Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"I can change it for you. It's the last time anyway.”Lu Xiu nodded.
"What is it? The last time? I heard that the end of the month is to exchange food, is that true?”Cheng Yaojin was shocked.
"That's right. The locust plague is about to end.”
"Then I won't be able to drink it anymore.”
When he confirmed it from Lu Xiu, Cheng Yaojin immediately became anxious.
Ever since they had tasted Maotai, how could they possibly drink other inferior wines!
"Not necessarily. I plan to ask Old Man Li's son to help me sell it and raise some money to marry a wife.”Lu Xiu said.
"Oh." Cheng Yaojin glanced at the Old Man Li that Lu Xiu mentioned and immediately had a strange expression.
To think that he could think of asking the Emperor to help sell wine. If he knew the Emperor's identity, he would probably be frightened.
"I thought it was something else. It's just money, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Little Brother Lu, tell me how much you need. I'll get someone to bring it to you.”Cheng Yaojin said generously.
"Is that so? Actually, it's not bad. It's about 100,000 strings.”Lu Xiu thought for a moment and said.
"What? 100,000?" Cheng Yaojin sucked in a breath of cold air. He had thought that he could pay a few hundred strings out of his own pocket. However, 100,000 yuan was not enough even if he added up all his assets.
Even though he had followed Li Er early on and made outstanding military achievements, he could be considered a noble and was rewarded with countless gold and silver by Li Er.
However, 100,000 yuan was probably only possible if he sold all the land under his fief.
"Cough cough, pretend I didn't say anything. Even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be able to give you 100,000 yuan.”It was the right choice to ask His Majesty for help. Only His Majesty could take out 100,000 strings.
"But Young Master, it would take a long time to earn 100,000 strings just by selling wine.”Li Ergou understood what Lu Xiu was doing with the money.
" Hehe, it shouldn't take long. According to the price of 500 yuan per catty of Maotai, we only need to sell 200,000 catties. There are many rich people in Chang 'an.”Lu Xiu said.
"Young Master, a catty of Maotai is actually sold for 500 yuan?”Li Ergou was speechless. He had gotten two catties from Cheng Yaojin a few days ago. Wasn't that equivalent to drinking money?
"Such a fine wine is priceless. Five hundred isn't expensive.”Cheng Yaojin nodded. He originally thought that Lu Xiu wanted to be rewarded by His Majesty, but Lu Xiu really wanted to make money by selling wine.
"If Little Brother Lu doesn't mind, I can do it for you. Although I am not as good as the person that Brother Lu mentioned, I also know many noble people in Chang 'an.”Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said.
After Li Jing and the others tasted it once, they asked him for wine every day. He believed that if he sold it to them, they would definitely buy a batch. Spending a few strings of money to drink a day was nothing to them.
Moreover, after the incident with the Running Fruit, many people were curious about what good wine Cheng Yaojin drank. Cheng Yaojin was quite popular in Chang 'an now.
"Yes, if I sell it to him, it will be a little better than my good-for-nothing son.”Li Yuan nodded in agreement.
Although Li Er could come forward, as the emperor, he was actually selling wine. It was really not good for him to come forward.
"Sure, but you have to use the money to buy wine first before selling it to others. The price I'll give you is 500 yuan per catty. You can add a little more.”Lu Xiu said.
