Chapter 697 Dongfang Bai

Hearing Dongfang Bai's pertinent answer, Shangguan Qiuyu nodded, and then said:

"This wine is extremely strong, only comparable to Northland spirits. Brother Dongfang also knows that my little brother's grandfather Zhen Guogong is very fond of this appetite.

As for my Shangguan family, most of them are soldiers in the army, and all the soldiers also like this drink. Every year, my Shangguan family spends a lot on this drink.

Therefore, the younger brother studied it specially, and then brewed this wine.

However, the five prefectures in southern Xinjiang must also know that the land is vast and sparsely populated. The food needed for wine making is huge and needs to be purchased in the Central Plains.

And the Ding family said that his family has countless grains, and at the same time, the Ding family has channels to purchase grain in the Central Plains.

Now I am even more willing to join my Shangguan family with my whole family, such a good thing, my younger brother is overjoyed. "

Following Shangguan Qiuyu's narration, Dongfang Bai's face became more and more ugly, but Shangguan Qiuyu deliberately ignored this detail.

He deliberately didn't look at Dongfang Bai's increasingly ugly expression, but fortunately Dongfang Bai is worthy of being the direct descendant of the Dongfang family.

Although now because of his age, he still can't do the so-called invisibility of emotions, but he can control his temper very well.

He didn't interrupt Shangguan Qiuyu, and he didn't give Shangguan Qiuyu a bad face. It was just that his face was a bit ugly at first, but then gradually returned to normal.

With the idea of ​​striking while the iron is hot, Shangguan Qiuyu directly asked Xuanyuan Jing who was beside him:
"His Royal Highness, although the son of the Ding family has joined my Shangguan family, I heard that his father was imprisoned by the order of Yucheng for unknown reasons.

Now, grandpa is about to go to war, and the Ding family has expressed that the Ding family is willing to contribute food and grass for the western expedition, just to make atonement for the father, what does His Highness think? "

As soon as Shangguan Qiuyu finished speaking, Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help being overjoyed, saying, "Is this really true?"

Seeing Shangguan Qiuyu nodding, Xuanyuan Jing asked Shangguan Qiuyu again for proof:
"Is the Ding family really willing to supply all the food and grass needs of the old general's western expedition?"

While Xuanyuanjing was delighted, she didn't notice that the face of Dongfang Bai, who was already calm and calm, had changed in an instant.

It's no wonder that Xuanyuan Jing was excited. After all, the 200 million soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army needed countless food and grass, and how could ordinary people afford it.

That is to say, a family like the Dongfang family was able to collect so much military rations in a short period of time.

Although it is good for the Dongfang family to supply all the food and grass needed, it does not mean that the Dongfang family will give the grain to the court for nothing.

Although these military rations come from the Dongfang family, they need to be purchased from the Dongfang family with money from the imperial court.

Of course, in terms of price, it is naturally cheaper than the market price, but no matter how cheap it is, the imperial court needs to buy it with real money.

Now, someone voluntarily contributes to supply the food and grass needed by the Western Expeditionary Army. Xuanyuan Jing, as the Prince of Dayu, is naturally happy for it.

Where would there be any reason for refusal? As for what Ding's father committed, he didn't take it to heart, and believed that as long as the other party was not rebellious.

It's not a big deal to get someone out of prison by yourself.

After Shangguan Qiuyu pretended to think for a while, he opened his mouth and said:

"It is said that the Ding family in Yucheng is the first of the five major merchants after the four major merchants. Thinking about it this way, what the other party said should be true.

Besides, my Shangguan family dares to deceive anyone. If the Ding family can't produce food at that time, I will definitely destroy their family and destroy them. "

As he said that, the evil spirit on Shangguan Qiuyu's body couldn't help being released instantly, shocking Xuanyuan Jing and Dongfang Bai who were beside him to quickly use their kung fu to resist.

Shangguan Qiuyu's murderous aura made Dongfang Bai at the side startled.

Originally, he wanted to disturb the Ding family's relationship with him, but now seeing Shangguan Qiuyu's bloodthirsty side, his heart was a little beating.

Originally, Xiao Jiujiu in his heart wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although Shangguan Qiuyu's murderous aura was evident, it was only fleeting. Seeing Dongfang Bai's unnatural expression, he raised his glass and drank all the wine in his glass.

Without leaving any time for Dongfang Bai to react, he immediately said to Xuanyuan Jing:

"This matter still needs the help of His Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince would like?"

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Qiuyu stared at Xuanyuan Jing in front of him, with a hint of persecution in it.

After Xuanyuanjing listened, he glanced at Dongfang Bai beside him, and saw that his face was not very good, which made Xuanyuanjing suddenly realize that he was entangled for a while and didn't know how to answer.

He hadn't heard about the Dongfang family's dealing with the Ding family. After all, the Dongfang family didn't intend to make a fuss about it.

At this moment, what Xuanyuanjing hesitated was that the Ding family would supply food and grass to the army of the Western Expedition. If he agreed to the Ding family to take over, he might offend the Dongfang family and cause them to be dissatisfied with him.

As early as before, when Emperor Xuanyuansheng decided to go west, the Dongfang family had already started to mobilize the food and grass needed by the army.

If you put it aside rashly at this moment, it is said that cutting people's money is like killing their parents.

In this way, if this matter is not handled well, it will not be beautiful to make the Dongfang family and the imperial court have a suspicion at that time.

Just when Xuanyuan Jing was hesitating and Dongfang Bai was silent, Shangguan Qiuyu had no choice but to put Xuanyuan Jing down, and said to Dongfang Bai beside him:

"Brother Dongfang, I wonder if this wine will be popular with the world once it is launched?"

Dongfang Bai, who was originally a little annoyed that Shangguan Qiuyu cut off his family's fortune, felt uncomfortable when he heard Shangguan Qiuyu ask him.

Straightening his face, after careful consideration, he said:
"This wine is very strong, and people in the Central Plains or the South probably wouldn't drink much of it.

However, for soldiers in the army or northern Hulu, this wine is bound to be very popular. "

In today's world, good wine is mainly fragrant and mellow. Although there are occasional strong wines, it lacks a little spicy.

And the wine purified by Shangguan Qiuyu happened to be what is commonly known as a burning knife in later generations, and it was like burning with a sip.

The people of the Northland and the people of the prairie are bold and strong, so they must like this spirit.

Therefore, as a direct descendant of the Dongfang family, after drinking this wine, Dongfang Bai felt a sense of crisis in his heart when he heard what Shangguan Qiuyu said.

You must know that although the Dongfang family is mainly engaged in food, but also in the wine making industry, the Dongfang family has not failed.

After all, the Shangguan family has the food needed for wine making, so they naturally get the moon first.

Now, while the Shangguan family rescued the Ding family, they are also preparing to launch this kind of spirits that are very popular with the people of the Northland.

As a result, Dongfang Bai no longer had any good feelings for Shangguan Qiuyu, and apart from jealousy, there was also a trace of hatred.

No matter what Shangguan Qiuyu thinks, Dongfang Bai thinks that this is Shangguan's family deliberately targeting his own Dongfang family.

You must know that the foundation of the Dongfang family is the two industries of grain and wine making.

These two industries earn a lot of money for the Dongfang family every year, and now the Shangguan family is supporting the Ding family who is against them.

Then, he planned to rob his own family's position in the brewing industry, which was like directly declaring war on his own Dongfang family.
