Red Mansion: My comprehension is beyond belief, and I have established the Immortal Dynasty!

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, a strange scene appeared in the east courtyard of Ningguo Mansion.

Several burly men in luxurious robes were like ruffians, picking their teeth and stretching their bodies. Only Jia Xuan, wearing a plain brocade with gold thread edges and a head of black hair tied up with a jade hairpin, looked like a gentleman no matter how you looked at him. The style was completely wrong.

"Nephew"

"The drinks in your courtyard are really good."

"There is no stronger wine in the country, this is what a man should drink."

Niu Jizong said with endless aftertaste.

"Really exciting"

"Where did you buy this wine? I'll go order a few hundred jars."

Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, Feng Tang, Nian Gengyao, and Yue Zhongqi were moved.

For soldiers, the favorite things besides horses and weapons are strong liquor.

Dajing inherited the former Ming Dynasty. Whether in the south or the north, most of the liquor is rice wine. In the north, Cangjiu and Yijiu are the top, while Shaoxing rice wine is the top in the south.

Rice wine is fragrant, mellow, and neutral in taste. It is suitable for men, women, young and old, but it is not strong enough. It is soft and the generals in the army can drink it. In the cold Liaodong, it is simply a fool's dream to rely on rice wine to keep warm.

""Hahaha!"

Jia Xuan pointed at the drinks on the table and laughed out loud.

"Uh uh..."

This scene really made everyone present a little stunned. What was going on? Why did they start laughing?

The attendant Nan Qiao smiled and said,"Marquis Zhenguo, all the nobles, this wine is called Shaodaozi, because it has a strong taste, like burning fire, and it is named so."

"Inherited from the oldest Sushen winemaking technique, it is known as the king of strong liquor in Liaodong region."

"Burn the knife!"

Everyone chanted the name"May 1 May 10 Zero" and their eyes lit up.

The wine they just drank was like a knife cutting through their throats and into their stomachs, like a raging fire, warming their bodies.

"Shaodaozi is a strong liquor specially prepared by our grandfather. Its production process is completely different from that of rice wine."

"The wine is colorless and transparent, with a pure and aromatic smell. It tastes sweet and refreshing, and has a very high strength. Because of this, this type of wine has a strong aftertaste. If most people drink a few more glasses, they will probably fall asleep for half a day."

"People call it Shaojiu, and our grandfather calls it Baijiu"

"At present, we have acquired wineries in Mianzhu, Yibin, Renhuai, Luzhou and other places, and integrated the production of Jiannanchun, Wuliangye, Maotai, Luzhou Special Liquor, Fenjiu, Xifeng Liquor, Dongjiu, Gujing Gongjiu and other liquors."

"There is no large-scale sale of liquor in the market of Shenjing. It is mainly supplied to the Nine Borders and Liaodong, as well as the Hu people outside the Great Wall."

‘Oh? '

Hearing Nan Qiao's words, everyone present showed shock on their faces.

They really didn't expect that Jia Xuan, who was only sixteen years old, was so powerful in personal martial arts and leading troops in battle that ordinary people could not match.

He even had this kind of Tao Zhu technique of turning stone into gold.

It was incredible!

The intensity of these wines is enough to prove their applicability.

For most men, white wine is obviously better than yellow wine, and the people who drink the most in the dynasty are men.

It can be seen that once these white wines appear on the market, they will inevitably cause an uproar.

By then, it will not only make a fortune every day, but I am afraid that the wealth of the Duke of Qin's Mansion will continue to accumulate, and it will not be a problem to be rich enough to rival a country.

Jia is not fake, white jade is the hall and gold is the horse. This is just the description of the wealth of the Jia family, a family of two dukes in the dynasty. Now it has become a true portrayal of the young man in front of them. Niu Jizong and others are a little confused and can't see the truth.

"Uncles"

"The noble families have a large population, like the Jia family with 20 branches, with many people doing all kinds of things."

"There is no business in this world that is more profitable than a business with no capital. It oppresses the good and kills the civilians."

"Today, the clan government has only decided on a group of noble families with no military merits, but we may not know what will happen tomorrow."

Looking around at everyone, Jia Xuan suddenly spoke up.

""Gululu!"

Everyone present swallowed their saliva, as if thinking of the imperial edict just now.

Disrespecting the royal family, not serving the country, oppressing the locals, and abusing the people, if you really count, apart from the newly promoted nobles Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi, who doesn't have such people in their family?

"Nephew"

"What you said is true, but there is nothing we can do about it."

"As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, everyone in the family will benefit. It is difficult to untangle the myriad threads."

"We can't be like Hai Rui in the former Ming Dynasty, who treated himself and his relatives and friends harshly."

Niu Jizong was the first to come to his senses, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

"yes!"

"How can a family of so many people manage without some expenses?"

Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang, and Feng Tang echoed with feeling.

Needless to say, the Jia family, even Feng Tang, who was once a first-class general, had dozens of slaves. The monthly expenses alone were over a thousand taels, which was 12,000 taels of silver a year. For ordinary people, this money was enough for a family to live a wealthy life for hundreds of years.

It was enough to see the luxury of the nobles!

Not to mention, those poor relatives below, who came and went, and the expenses were like running water.

The so-called learning literature and martial arts, the daily physical training of martial artists, medicinal materials, and diet, the scholars Daily copying of straw paper, writing brushes and ink, which is not a big expense, especially for the noble families, each of them is so poor that they are about to urinate blood, and their brains are not active enough, so most of them have farms in Liaodong.

This is why Liaodong won a great victory, and the founding lineage followed Jia Xuan to gain a lot of benefits. Three-fifths of the Later Jin's wealth fell into Jia Xuan's hands, one-fifth was handed over to the imperial court, and the remaining one-fifth was divided up by the Beijing Camp, Jizhen, and Liaozhen. Otherwise

, before, even Niu Jizong's family lived a tight life, and could not be compared with the luxury of the Jia family.......

As the night deepened, the sky was already dark, with stars twinkling and bright moonlight covering the east courtyard of Ningguo Mansion.

Except for Jia Xuan, everyone's face was a little solemn. As it involved the development of the family, the nobles present were more or less depressed.

Looking at others and then looking at themselves, the gap was not just ordinary, it was a world of difference.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Jinyi Army will be responsible for searching the nobles' residences."

Facing the gazes of several people, Jia Xuan said calmly:"I support the current emperor's move. There are too many parasites in the country. If we don't clean them up, how can we be strong?"

"As the saying goes: Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. This spring, I wrote a poem called: Qinyuanchun. Snow"

"The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice and snow"

"Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is only wilderness; the great river has lost its roaring sound."

"The mountains dance with silver snakes, the plains gallop with wax elephants, trying to compete with the sky"

"It must be a sunny day to see the red dress and white snow, which is particularly enchanting"

"The country is so beautiful that countless heroes compete to win"

"Unfortunately, the Emperors of Qin and Han were slightly inferior in literary talent; the Emperors of Tang and Song were slightly inferior in style and elegance."

"Genghis Khan, the great hero of his generation, only knew how to shoot eagles with a bow"

""The past is gone, and the heroes of today are still to be seen."

The resounding words revealed unprecedented boldness and domineering, which made the eyes of the people present widen.

Nian Gengyao's pupils shrank sharply. His unprecedented political sense immediately felt the specialness of this poem. This is not an ordinary poem, but an emperor's poem. With a wave of his hand, he stood on the position of the king of a country and commanded everything.

What is an emperor? Looking down on the world and traveling in all directions, it is nothing more than this!

"What a bold and beautiful phrase!"

Niu Jizong exclaimed loudly.

"Duke Qin is indeed a man of both civil and military talents, unique in the history!"

"Who else in the country can compare with him!"

Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang, Feng Tang and others spoke with flattering words. It was the first time they saw another side of Jia Xuan. He was not as fierce as the one in the army, but more like a scholar. He had the attitude of a superior who looked down on others, and he had a strong confidence that could compare with the emperors of the past and present.

Looking at the young man in front of them who seemed to be shrouded in mist, the eyes of several people present could not help but become deep.

"Everyone, are you willing to walk side by side with me and face the future together?"

Jia Xuan stretched out his hand and invited

"I wish to follow Duke Qin to carry on the past and create a prosperous era again."

Niu Jizong and others were filled with excitement and their blood was boiling. They shouted loudly:

"Good!"

With a wave of his hand, Jia Xuan continued:"If you all trust me, I will prepare for the rainy day."

"From now on, the founding lineage will reorganize the relationship between the sects. Anyone who commits crimes, bullies the people, and oppresses the local people will be executed without pardon."

"I will ask the Jinyi Army to personally assist in making sure the rotten flesh is removed and replaced with new blood."

"As for the income of your family, it all depends on burning knives."

‘"Shua!!!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Shaodaozi is a popular liquor in the Nine Borders and even outside the Great Wall. There is a large market in the north. If Shaodaozi is handed over to them, then will the many nobles still care about the local melons and dates?

"Nephew.........."

"Are you serious?"

Niu Jizong, as the leader of the crowd, couldn't wait to ask..........

"a man of his words"

"Every year, about one million jars of Shaodaozi are produced. I will sell them to you at the price of 20 taels per jar."

"As for how much you sell, it's up to you, but the sales area must be divided"

"Taking the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty as an example, the sales rights of Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces north of the Yellow River are sold at a price of 500,000 taels of silver per year, and Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou provinces south of the Yellow River are sold at a price of 300,000 taels of silver per year."

"The annual revenue of the capital and northern Zhili was 1.2 million taels of silver, and the annual revenue of Nanjing and southern Zhili was 800,000 taels of silver."

"Outside of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, the same thing applies. You can rely on your ability. Just one thing: don't break the rules."

With a sharp gaze, Jia Xuan said quietly.

"Of course not!"

"My dear nephew, you are joking!"

""Hehe!"

Niu Jizong and others laughed.

To be honest, nobles always do things based on strength, and reckless men will win the fight.

They did see the loophole in the previous words, that is, no matter which area is contracted, they will also reach out to other areas. After all, who doesn't like silver? The total tax revenue of the country is about 40 million taels a year, and the Shaodaozi alone has reached 20 million taels, which is amazing.

A jar of Shaodaozi at 20 taels will at least double when sold by Niu Jizong and others, because the most common rice wine in the country (1 0 jin) is sold at no less than four taels, not to mention Shaoxing Huadiao, this kind of royal tribute wine, which costs more than several thousand taels after a certain age.

Moreover, these wines are simply a lifesaver for areas with long winters, especially for the Mongolians living on grasslands and snowy plateaus, and even Koreans overseas. People will rush to buy them even if the price is one hundred taels a jar, not to mention doubling it.

Compared to the hard work of enclosing land to build a farm, this profit comes quickly and in large amounts. How can Niu Jizong and others not be tempted?

Looking at the excitement and longing in everyone's eyes, Jia Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, with a leisurely attitude that everything was under control.

《"Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Merchants" says:"The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit."

With such huge benefits in front of the founding heroes, how could they not be tempted? Even if they did not consider themselves, they had to consider their families.

Since ancient times, wealth and prosperity have been the highest pursuit of people, without exception.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Once these people have obtained huge wealth by peddling burning knives, coupled with the high power and status, would they be willing to go back to their previous lives?

Not to mention Jia Xuan asking them to rebel, even if he asked them to rush into the palace and kill the emperor and his family, they would do it without hesitation.

The so-called"prosperity together, loss together" is just like this.

"Duke!"

"What about the areas outside Shanhaiguan such as Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Liaonan?"

At this moment, Nian Gengyao discovered the blind spot and asked.

Yes, what about outside the Shanhaiguan?

Everyone present remembered that the Liao area, which was in the most need of burning knives, was not included in the list. It was really unbelievable.

"Where do you think Shaodaozi came from?"

Jia Xuan looked at everyone as if they were idiots.

"........."

Suddenly, everyone's face froze. Well, they were really stupid.

The origin of the Shaodaozi was in Liaodong. What else can we say about Liao? I'm afraid that was the place where the country was least short of Shaodaozi.

"In addition to the founding family, there is one Marquis's Mansion, seven Earl's Mansion, seven Viscount's Mansion, and three Baron's Mansion."

"In addition, Jingtian Marquis Mansion must be included. Qiu Liang is a man who can be of great use."

"Therefore, there are a total of fifteen regions in the two capitals and thirteen provinces. You can choose one first and leave the rest to others."

"As for the contract price for the first year, we will put it aside for the time being and settle it together in the spring of the following year."

""Yes!!!"

Niu Jizong and others agreed after hearing this.

This division can allow them to occupy the greatest benefits, and it can also make the remaining nobles of the founding lineage eat their fill. Why not? In the final analysis, they still have to thank the emperor and Emperor Yongping for eliminating so many useless nobles at once, saving them from not having enough meat to eat..
