Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 9 Doing Business
Xiang Yu was all smiles when he saw that his military exploits had increased, and the money and food he could get every day had also increased.If there were other people watching at this time, they would definitely think that Xiang Yu was crazy, and he was smirking while looking at the wall for nothing.

After being happy, Xiang Yu began to think about how to let the Xiang family resolve the current conflict.

After a while, Xiang Yu remembered that Xue Wen said that there was [-] shi of grain in the family, and in addition to feeding the family members, he might have to save the grain for the future restoration of Chu.

With food, the brewing technique he just acquired can be used.

Xiang Yu first went to the study, found some wooden slips, and then began to engrave the wine making methods of rice wine and baijiu on them.

It took [-] minutes for Xiang Yu to carve out these wine making methods, and then he took these bamboo slips to Xiangliang.

At this time, Xiang Liang was breaking down one by one the brothers who did not support him to exchange gold coins for Qin Banliang. It can be said that only Xiang Bo agreed to Xiang Liang's proposal of exchanging gold coins for half coins, and everyone else!Even Xiang Ping and Xiang An disagreed.

Xiang Liang called Xiang Le, first talked a lot, and when he was about to persuade Xiang Le, Xiang Yu came.

Seeing Xiang Yu coming, Xiang Liang quickly stopped, looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Yu'er, what's the matter?"

"Uncle! Don't hide it, my nephew already knows the crisis in the family." Xiang Liang was shocked when Xiang Yu said it. Xiang Liang thought that he and the others had covered up the news well, but he didn't expect to be caught by others. understood.

"I overheard Uncle Wen talking to you!" Xiang Yu continued. "This time, there is a way to solve this so-called crisis, and it will allow my Xiang family to save more money and food to support the great cause of restoring the country in the future!"

"What is the solution?" Xiang Liang asked curiously.

"Wine!" Xiang Yu said.

Xiang Le smiled and said: "Yu'er, you said that wine can solve the crisis at home, but you didn't expect that there are no less than six wine shops in Wu County alone, let alone other places! Wine can indeed make money, but it is impossible Earn so much!"

"Third uncle! What you are talking about is just an ordinary wine shop! The wine used in these wine shops is some crude wine. If I can brew exquisite and clear wine, I am afraid that no one will buy it! Besides, I want There are not just one kind of wine but two kinds of wine!" Xiang Yu retorted to Xiang Le confidently.

"Which two?" Xiang Le asked curiously.

"One is yellow rice wine that people all over the world drink now, and the other is baijiu!" Xiang Yu replied.

"Why are they called white wine and rice wine?" Xiang Liang asked a little strangely.

Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Liang and Xiang Le, and said, "Yellow wine is yellow after brewing, even if the wine is purified. Baijiu is as clear as water after purification, so it is called Baijiu!"

*******************************
Xiang Yu finally persuaded Xiang Liang and Xiang Le, and at the same time, they also wanted Xiang Yu to get in touch with some family affairs and let him fulfill the responsibility of the young master.Xue Wen and Xiang Quan were appointed as the owner of Xiang's wine shop and the owner of Xiang's wine shop to assist Xiang Yu in brewing and selling wine.

The food was brought out from the storeroom and ready to be brewed by Xiang Yu into Huadiao Wine and Zuixian Wine. Xiang Yu started his busy life every day.

With Xiang Yu's miraculous wine-making skills, two hundred jars of rice wine and white wine were quickly brewed. Xiang Yu was going to let Xiang Liang and others try his finished wine.

Xiang Liang and the others originally tried the wine with the attitude of lest Xiang Yu lose confidence, but they didn't expect that as soon as the rice wine was opened, the aroma of the wine would overflow, and the air in the whole room seemed to have turned into the aroma of wine.

Everyone couldn't wait to taste the Huadiao wine brewed by Xiang Yu. They all had expressions of disbelief as soon as they took a sip.Xiang Liang nodded in praise and said, "Yu'er is doing great! With this wine, my Xiang family will be even stronger!"

With the wine he brewed, Xiang Yu was praised by all the elders in the family.

"Uncle! We can hold a wine tasting party tomorrow. Let people in Wu County try this rice wine and white wine. First, we will make a name for ourselves! Then we will cooperate with the four major families in Wu County and Yin Tong, the county magistrate, to sell the wine to the counties in the north. "Xiang Yu spoke out his proposal, hoping to get the support of Xiang Liang and others.

"Why is this so? Can't we sell wine to the northern counties?" Xiang Zhu asked with a broken face when he heard Xiang Yu's proposal.

"Uncle Wu, think about it! If only my Xiang family was running this business, would the big families in Wuzhong and even the counties try to make trouble? Even if the families in Wu County have a good relationship with my Xiang family, It's hard to guarantee that they won't stand by and watch for their own benefit! But pulling them into the water has an advantage, that is, when someone covets them, they can work together to resist!" Facing Xiang Zhu's questioning, Xiang Yu said without panic .

Xiang Yu didn't know that Xiang Liang and Xiang Le were shocked by his performance, and Xiang Yu's position as heir became more and more secure in their hearts.

"Even so, it still won't work!" Xiang Liang said a little worriedly. "If the drinks of my Xiang family are famous all over the world, then our identity will soon be known by Ying Zheng, and I may be killed!"

"Uncle, is the current head of the Black Ice Terrace the CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gao?" Xiang Yu asked calmly and pointedly.

Xiang Le is not stupid, when Xiang Yu calmly asked the head of the black ice station, he became aware of his plan.

Xiang Liang was anxious and confused, so he replied: "Yes!"

At this moment, Xiang Le said to Xiang Liang: "Brother! I'm afraid Yu'er is going to bribe Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, to use him as a cover for us and to keep our liquor business!"

"The third uncle is still amazing!!!" Xiang Yu smiled and praised Xiang Le with a thumbs up.

"Then Zhao Gao is willing to help us?" Xiang Liang raised his doubts.

Xiang Yu immediately said: "Zhao Gao is a greedy person! We only need to offer one hundred thousand Qin Banliang to Zhao Gao every year, I believe he will not refuse!"

"Yu'er, how did you know that Zhao Gao is greedy for money?" Xiang Quan asked without warning.

"Zhao Gao is Yingzheng's servant, and he has lived in poverty since he was a child. Now that he has such a big official title, he naturally wants to enjoy it, and if he wants to enjoy it, he must have money! Therefore, it is no wonder that he is not greedy!" Xiang Yu said what he knew .

"That's true! Since Zhao Gao is Ying Zheng's servant, Sima Xin followed Zhao Gao's way when his elder brother was imprisoned! Only you, elder brother, can get out of prison so quickly!" Xiang Bo nodded and said.

Xiang Liangzhi was released from prison until now and still doesn't know how he was released from prison without a crime. He didn't expect to find out today that he had followed the path of Yingzheng's running dog to get out of prison. This made him feel extremely ashamed and helpless!
