My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

The night grew deeper.

As Jiang Xiaobai became increasingly engrossed in writing, Tang Ningshuang walked in from outside.

When Tang Ningshuang saw Jiang Xiaobai writing, she didn't disturb him, but simply stood aside and looked at the contents of the paper.

At first, Tang Ningshuang just glanced at it casually.

But as he watched, his expression gradually became serious.

When Tang Ningshuang saw Jiang Xiaobai writing about the Three Kingdoms period, her gaze went completely blank, and she fell silent.

Time passed slowly, and only the sound of pen tip falling on paper remained in the room.

Before Jiang Xiaobai knew it, when he put down his pen, he saw that it was already quite dark outside.

Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his wrists, just about to get up, when Tang Ningshuang's voice rang in his ears: "You... how many stories have you written?"

hiss!

Jiang Xiaobai was startled. He looked up and found Tang Ningshuang standing next to him, looking at him curiously.

"When did you come in?"

Jiang Xiaobai was both amused and exasperated.

People can scare each other to death!

"It's been a long time!"

Tang Ningshuang replied, her gaze fixed on the paper on the table, "So, the story you wrote is..."

"Oh, four."

Jiang Xiaobai explained, "They are called Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, Water Margin, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms!"

"That……"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ningshuang's voice clearly wavered slightly: "Could that person who talks about the Three Kingdoms write more?"

"I……"

Tang Ningshuang paused, then said expectantly, "I really want to see it..."

"Okay, but... let's do it tomorrow!"

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, he stood up and stretched his body.

Yes, it was already quite dark, and after writing for so long, he was incredibly tired.

"good!"

Tang Ningshuang also saw the expression on Jiang Xiaobai's face, nodded gently, and did not insist any further.

……

the next day.

Jiang Xiaobai got up early and went to the courtyard.

Here, he saw Tang Ningshuang practicing her sword, and of course... he also saw Zhang Xinnian lying on the ground.

Yes, this guy was lying there, completely drunk, with drool running down his face.

This scene left Jiang Xiaobai both amused and exasperated.

He knew Zhang Xinnian would sneak drinks, but he never expected him to get drunk!

Helpless, Jiang Xiaobai walked over and patted Zhang Xinnian on the shoulder.

what?

Zhang Xinnian opened his eyes groggily and saw Jiang Xiaobai squatting in front of him, looking at him.

"Shi...Crown Prince?"

Zhang Xinnian jolted awake, sobering up considerably. He stood up unsteadily, and just as he was about to bow, he swayed slightly.

"Hold your ground!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.

"Hey, Your Highness, this wine...it's absolutely delicious!"

Zhang Xinnian chuckled twice, then let out a burp: "I accidentally drank too much last night!!"

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhang Xinnian's expression.

Yes, for a soldier to be drunk like this, his liquor is truly impressive.

Moreover, this is just the most basic distilled spirit. If the taste is further adjusted, it can be separated into strong spirits and mild spirits.

And maybe... make some fruit wine and beer too.

The wine business alone could probably make the Marquis's mansion a fortune.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Zhang Xinnian and said, "Xinnian, make a few more trips to Tianji Tower these next few days."

"Have them make a few more of these machines, then we'll ramp up production!!"

"No problem!"

Zhang Xinnian nodded respectfully.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and agreed, then took Tang Ningshuang to have breakfast.

Zhang Xinnian looks like he needs to sober up a bit more.

Over the next few days, Jiang Xiaobai's courtyard became extremely busy.

The Tianji Tower was indeed very efficient; stoves, wooden frames, and wine jars were delivered one after another.

Jiang Xiaobai also put all the servants in the Hou mansion to work.

That's right, some were moving grain, some were tending the fire, and some were sealing the jars.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai himself hasn't been idle these past few days either.

In my spare time, I enjoy drinking, but most of the time I choose to sit in my room and write books.

Since he had decided to give the world a shock, he naturally couldn't write too slowly!

Jiang Jingcheng, on the other hand, also received news about Jiang Xiaobai's brewing and even specially asked Zhang Xinnian about it.

Zhang Xinnian naturally didn't hide anything and reported everything about the brewing equipment and the wine production process.

Jiang Jingcheng frowned the entire time he listened.

liquor!?

In the capital, the liquor business is the most difficult to run, and this brat actually goes into liquor?

After Zhang Xinnian left, Shen Yun looked at Jiang Jingcheng and asked, "Master, is our son really going to do business?"

"Hmm, still selling alcohol!"

Jiang Jingcheng shook his head and said, "The liquor business in Beijing has been saturated for years; there's simply no way to break in now!"

"Oh well, let's just let this brat go. It'll be good for him to learn his lesson and suffer a setback!"

"That's not necessarily true!"

Shen Yun said, "What if our son succeeds?"

"he?"

Jiang Jingcheng snorted twice.

Anyway, he absolutely refused to believe it!

If business were really that easy, the Jiang family would have succeeded long ago!

……

Half a month later, in the early morning, Jiang Xiaobai stretched and walked out of his room.

Stepping outside, Jiang Xiaobai breathed in the rich aroma of wine from the courtyard, a broad smile on his face.

In the corner, rows of wine jars were placed, their mouths sealed tightly.

There were also servants from the Marquis's residence moving things around.

Zhang Xinnian stood next to the wine jar, his smile impossible to suppress.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai emerge, Zhang Xinnian approached, excitedly exclaiming, "We've been working day and night these past few days, and we've already produced over 420 jars!"

"There's another batch; they should be sealed up tonight!"

"More than four hundred and twenty jars?"

Jiang Xiaobai's expression flashed with surprise.

The quantity was more than he had expected.

It has to be said that the things Tianjilou produced were even more efficient than he had imagined.

Moreover, their Marquis's mansion has no shortage of people, so once it gets going, its efficiency is quite high.

"That's right, a total of four hundred and twenty-seven jars!"

Zhang Xinnian nodded and said, "Hey, it's just that if there's too much alcohol, the flavor can't be suppressed."

"The smells around here are enough to make your mouth water."

"Just because you're craving it doesn't mean you're not."

Jiang Xiaobai's lips curled up: "The problem with alcohol is that people aren't afraid of being tempted, they're afraid of not being interested."

"This quantity of liquor is about right. Go and gather some of our brothers from the army. We're going to start distributing it today."

With that, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and said, "Start forcing people to buy. Anyone who doesn't buy, beat them up!"

"Your Highness, are you really going to force us to buy or sell?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinnian licked his lips.

Logically speaking, with such good wine, there should be no problem selling it.

But just thinking about leading an army and rampaging through the capital is exhilarating.

"nonsense!"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Zhang Xinnian: "If you want to see profits as soon as possible, you need to be a bit more assertive!"

He knew that he could gradually expand his business by distributing products gradually, but he could expand even faster by being more aggressive!

"Hey, should we inform the Marquis?"

Zhang Xinnian rubbed his hands together and began to speak.

"No need, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

Jiang Xiaobai calmly said, pausing before adding, "Also, send the wine directly to all the major restaurants!"

"yes!"

Zhang Xinnian nodded respectfully.

Jiang Xiaobai responded and looked at Tang Ningshuang, saying, "Miss Tang, would you like to come out with me?"

"Where to?"

Tang Ningshuang asked in confusion.

"The Blue Robe Society"

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes flashed slightly as he said, "The book is almost finished; it's time to send it over."

"While we're at it, let's see how the Green Robe Society's residence in the capital is doing."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai returned to his room and organized the manuscript he had written during this period.

When Tang Ningshuang saw the manuscript, her gaze fell on the top page, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," and her expression clearly showed a change.

It's no exaggeration to say that during this period, whenever Jiang Xiaobai wrote, she would be watching.

Especially this Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was written so brilliantly.

Even as a woman, I felt a surge of excitement.

If she weren't so unwilling to force someone, she would have drawn her sword and held it to Jiang Xiaobai's neck.

You can't stop until you finish writing!!
