Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17

When the Patriarch gave the order, the housekeeper and others next to him immediately took the servants to prepare the car and pack their luggage. In a short while, only the Patriarch and the shopkeeper were left in the entire room!
The head of the family watched the person walk away, and then asked in a low voice: "Where did this wine come from?"

"A Taoist priest came to the wine shop today..." The shopkeeper told the owner of the house everything that had just happened.

The head of the family nodded and said: "You are right. You must know the whereabouts of that Taoist. If you can really get this wine-making technique, you can pay some price."

The shopkeeper immediately understood, if the Taoist obediently handed over the skills, it would be fine!Just give him some money.If he didn't hand it over, he might as well have a bad idea.

Both the master and the servant are not ordinary people, and what happened just now was just a show.It is said that if you want to deceive others, you must deceive your own people, so the two teamed up to deceive the housekeeper and several servants.The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, and the smaller the chance of leakage.

The reason why the shopkeeper called this wine Immortal Wine was just to invite fame!This wine is drunk by gods, can it be cheap when you buy it?

The ancients didn't know about marketing, but they played very well with fake invitations!There are a lot of auspiciousness mentioned in history books, some of which are clearly recorded, but most of them still record that many people fake auspiciousness!
Take White Deer for example!This is an albino deer, but it is regarded as auspicious.After all, there are so few!There is actually no problem in treating it as auspiciousness, just treat it as good wishes.

But where are there so many albino deer in the world?What to do if not?I'm still thinking of getting an auspicious sign!It's easy to handle, just find some paint and paint it.

Of course, everyone's method may be more advanced, but the essence is the same, and both are fake.

So, the ancients were not stupid!They don't understand marketing, but they know how to invite names!The upper class society at the end of the Han Dynasty was an invitation society.

Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Xu brothers conducted a one-month evaluation in Runan, and many people would become famous and celebrities after being evaluated by them.The title of famous scholar is very useful. Cao Cao killed the famous scholar Bian Rang, and as a result, Chen Gong and others rebelled and welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou. Cao Cao's old nest was only three cities away.

So at the end of the Han Dynasty, those who wanted to get ahead all wanted to be famous and become celebrities.Many people asked the Xu brothers to comment, and Cao Cao, who was still a young man, also thought about it.

But the Xu brothers looked down on him because of his bad background.His father Cao Song was adopted to his grandfather Cao Teng when he was a child, so he was the curse of an eunuch and has always been disliked by celebrities.

In the end, Cao Cao became anxious, and he intercepted Xu Shao with a sword, only to get a comment: A capable minister who governs the world, and a traitor in troubled times.

Cao Cao's current achievements have something to do with his reputation.Otherwise, he would not have easily obtained Dongjun, let alone Yanzhou, all of which had something to do with the reputation he gained during the period when he was seeking Dong.Otherwise, Cheng Yu would not have said that Cao Cao was the master of the Ming Dynasty, and even changed his name, flatteringly adding a Japanese character on top of Li, so that he was called Cheng Yu.

Closer to home, the Patriarch is not a fool, he knew what he meant after hearing his words, and after he finished drinking, he felt that there could be a big fuss here, so he wanted to make a scene of offering immortal wine.As for why Liu Biao was the one who presented the wine, but not Zhang Xiu?
This is very simple. Zhang Xiu's background was replaced by the Patriarch, who was not in his eyes at all.Zhang Xiu was born in a powerful family in Liangzhou, but this patriarch was born in a family. The family alone is a level higher than Haoqiang, not to mention that his family is still from the Central Plains. Zhang Xiu’s powerful family is only from Liangzhou, which is higher geographically. wait!
Although it is annoying to divide people into three, six, and nine grades, this is the bad root of human beings, which cannot be eliminated for thousands of years.

But Liu Biao is different, not to mention the royal relatives and relatives, and he is also one of the "eight chefs", and he is also a famous person, so honorable!If it weren't for Liu Biao who had secretly greeted these families in Wancheng, and these families would be able to beat Zhang Xiu to death, would you, a barbarian from the wilderness, be worthy of occupying Wancheng?

Of course, they only dared to think about it in their hearts and did not dare to actually do anything to Zhang Xiu?Don’t you see that when Dong Zhuo controlled the government, all the noble families in the dynasty were obedient?In the face of absolute force, they can only bow their heads, and at most they can just make small moves in private!At that time, the Yuan family didn't understand what they were doing, and Dong Zhuo had their house confiscated.

Because the news was leaked intentionally, when the head of the family arrived in Xiangyang, the news that the Deng family got the fairy wine and offered it to Liu Biao had already spread throughout Nanyang County and Nanjun County.

Here Liu Biao met with the head of the Deng family and drank the so-called fairy wine. He really felt different, and it might not be easy to drink more.But the wine was really good, and the head of the Deng family promised to send some to Liu Biao every month, and the two quickly reached a tacit understanding.The next day, news spread that Liu Biao passed out after drinking three wines!

At this time, there is really no wine that can make people drunk with two or three wines.At this time, the alcohol content is low, and there is usually no problem in drinking several Dou, and the alcohol may not be as strong as beer, and normal people will go to the toilet a few more times after drinking two or three Dou.So when such a bell of wine appeared all of a sudden, it immediately attracted the attention of the upper class of society.

Jingzhou is relatively prosperous because there have been few wars in recent years.Many cultural people took refuge in Jingzhou to avoid the war. Not only did they come, they also brought a lot of wealth.Therefore, Jingzhou, which rarely suffers from war, is almost the richest place in the world. The only one that can compete with this place is the Jizhou area controlled by Yuan Shao.

There are many rich people here, and many people buy more luxurious things.This kind of fairy wine suddenly appeared and became a trend, and many rich people wanted to try it.

But there is nothing for sale on the market!

These rich people even asked Liu Biao to come here, but Liu Biao rejected them all, and only gave them to a few famous people in Jingzhou to drink some, like Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui!Lord Pang De of the Pang family!Huang Chengyan of the Huang family!My two important advisors, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue!My brother-in-law Cai Mao!

This wine!There weren't many people in the first place, and these people have divided some, and basically there are no more.He wants to wait for the Deng family to give it to him!How could it be possible to show it to others?In the end, after waiting for half a month, the Deng family still didn't deliver it. Liu Biao was in a hurry!Just send someone over to ask what's going on!The reputation of this wine has already been established, why is it still not on the market?Even if I pay for it myself!

In fact, it's not that the Deng family is unwilling to sell, they also know that it's best to go public at this time.But isn't there something wrong?
