After reconciling with Wang Jian, Xia Qi devoted himself to brewing wine.
Xia Qi promoted Jing, Zhui, and Zhuo to be the stewards of the Craftsmen Bureau, greatly mobilizing their enthusiasm.
Craftsmen were a profession with strong inheritances. In their circle, most of them were craftsmen.
With all the recruitment, the Craftsmen Bureau had already taken shape, with 40 to 50 people.
After the banquet, the princes who received the wine from Xia Qi also intentionally or unintentionally promoted Xia Qi.
Needless to say, Huhai was a playboy.
In Great Qin, which had never produced high-quality white wine before, Qin Feng wine was a great killing weapon.
When his friends were drinking, he would show it off, and his face would be 100% glorious.
Even Fu Su and other studious princes liked to give Qin Feng wine as a gift to their masters.
There was no need to talk about the quality of the Princes 'Wechat Moments, as they all interacted with Great Qin's top nobles.
In Great Qin's eyes, wine was something that was considered elegant.
Previously, everyone had no choice but to drink bland wine.
Now that the high-alcohol white wine was out, there was no one who could fight.
In just a few days, he had gained a great reputation in the circle of dignitaries.
Especially a few days ago, after Brother Zheng finished handling the court affairs, he left a few courtiers for dinner and took out the wine that Xia Qi had given him.
This matter pushed Qin Feng wine to a new height.
Everyone was trying to find out where the Qin Feng wine was produced. Those who were well-informed ran to the Craftsman Bureau to find Xia Qi.
The Craftsman Bureau, which used to be deserted, had been constantly visited by dignitaries who wanted to buy Qin Feng wine recently.
There was no doubt that Qin Feng wine had already become popular before it even started selling!
Wang Jian quickly walked towards Qi Nian Palace.
When he reached the door, he saw a sturdy old man with snow-white hair walking out.
"You old thing, why do you have the time to enter the palace?”Wang Jian spoke very impolitely.
That old man also had a fiery temper and did not spoil Wang Jian when he spoke.
"Some people hide good things for fear of others knowing. They are really not human.”
This person was Meng Tian and Meng Yi's father, Meng Wu, who was also a Great General.
In the war to destroy Chu, Wang Jian was the commander and Meng Wu was his deputy. The two of them had a good personal relationship.
Meng Wu was more than ten years older than Wang Jian. After the war to destroy Chu, he took the initiative to ask Brother Zheng to raise him in order to make way for his two sons.
In the past few years, he had rarely appeared in court.
Hearing Meng Wu's words, Wang Jian immediately knew the other party's intention for coming.
Compared to Wang Jian, Meng Wu was even more addicted to alcohol.
The rumors of Qin Feng wine were spreading like wildfire. This old fellow must have been seduced by the wine.
"You asked for wine from His Majesty?" Wang Jian asked with a smile on his face.
Meng Wu snorted coldly and ignored Wang Jian.
"Gongzi Qi didn't give His Majesty much wine, and His Majesty had already used all of it when he invited the officials a few days ago. I still have some at home. If you want to try it…"
Meng Wu's eyes lit up when he heard that. He hurriedly said,""I know you've been coveting my bronze sword for a long time, so I can lend it to you to play with for a few days!”
"A gentleman's word!"
Wang Jian laughed loudly and clapped with Meng Wu.
In front of the palace gate, he had traded with his old companion last night. Wang Jian turned around and withdrew his smile before quickly walking into the palace.
"Are you here to ask for wine too?"
Seeing Wang Jian, Brother Zheng revealed a rare trace of impatience.
In the past few days, many retired old fellows had entered the palace to seek an audience.
Without a word, he reached out for the wine.
These old fellows had worked so hard for Great Qin, and it was not too much to ask for a few jars of wine.
But the key was that Brother Zheng really did not have that thing anymore!
Just as he sent Meng Wu away, he saw Wang Jian come in. Brother Zheng thought that Wang Jian had followed suit and ran over to ask for wine.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood this old official. A few days ago, this official bought a few jars of wine from Gongzi Qi, and there is still some surplus at home.”
Wang Jian had a bitter expression as Brother Chaozheng complained,""Your Majesty, do you know how much my jars of wine cost?”
"A thousand strings of coins, a thousand strings of coins per jar! Poor old minister had lived for most of his life and risked his life to accumulate a little family business. In the end, because of a little disappointing appetite, all of it was for Young Master Qi.”
Brother Zheng looked at Wang Jian with a faint smile and asked,""What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, it's fine if the price of the wine is equal. These few days, I heard that Young Master Fu Su had ordered a batch of Qin Feng wine from the Craftsmen Bureau. The price of a jar is less than 10% of mine!”
Brother Zheng waved his hand and smiled." Old General, don't sell yourself miserably. You know very well in your heart that this thousand strings is not just for wine!”
As he spoke, Brother Zheng looked up at the door.
"The profits from smelting iron and salt are terrifying. Xia Qi handed them all over. Compared to that, a few thousand strings were not worth mentioning. I am very pleased that Gongzi Qi is so magnanimous.”
Wang Jian nodded. However, when he recalled the purpose of his visit today, he continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Gong Ziqi has come up with some kind of pre-sale method. The old minister had visited him a few times, but he had rejected him at the door. I wonder if Your Majesty can…"
"This is a matter of the Craftsman Bureau, I can't interfere.”Brother Zheng rejected Wang Jian's request very straightforwardly.
After Wang Jian left, Brother Zheng sat in the hall and fell into deep thought.
Everyone knew that when the white wine was officially on sale, it would definitely be in short supply. Even if one had the money, they might not be able to buy it.
Even an old official like Wang Jian wanted to cut the queue through the back door.
Something that had yet to be sold was already so popular.
In Brother Zheng's impression, this was simply a wonder from ancient times to the present!
Was it only because white wine was really good?
Not necessarily!
Brother Zheng could guarantee that even if someone else made white wine, it would be very difficult to achieve this level.
Thinking back to the beginning of the appraisal banquet and Xia Qi's actions now, it was simply a chain reaction. Step by step, he pushed the white wine to such a hot scene.
Even Brother Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
Xia Qi's ability in business was probably unique throughout history.
The Craftsman Bureau, which was originally half-dead, became popular in less than half a month because of Xia Qi's actions.
Based on the current situation, it was definitely the best decision for Anxia Qi to take over the Craftsmen Bureau.
Three days later, in the western suburbs of Xianyang.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, but the mountain road leading to the Craftsmanship Bureau was already packed with carriages.
At the entrance of the Craftsman Bureau, it was even more noisy.
Today was the official opening day for Qin Feng wine.
The dignitaries of Xianyang heard the news and moved.
After a period of fermentation, the reputation of Qin Feng wine had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Even if most people had never drunk it before, it did not affect people's admiration for it.
As soon as the Craftsmen Bureau opened, it was flooded by people swarming over.
The sky-high price of 100 strings per jar was still in short supply.
In just an hour, more than half of the 5,000 jars of wine that he had prepared were sold.
Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Xia Qi urgently gave the order to start the purchase restriction.
