The weather was very hot, but the weather was very bad.

Time flies, and two months have passed in a hurry.

At this time, it was autumn, and it was the harvest season.

However, the fields were full of locusts, withered branches and leaves, and the ground was dry and cracked.

The world was hit by drought again, and most people had no harvest.

More people were displaced.

There were countless people who starved to death.

People exchanged their children for food, and it was common to see dead bodies on the road.

The lower-class people of the Han Dynasty were desperate to live.

They made pitiful sighs and wails:

The people in troubled times are not as good as dogs in prosperous times!

As the political, cultural and economic center of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang was mostly a place where dignitaries gathered.

On the quaint streets, people were coming and going, laughing and playing, and it was very lively.

It was very peaceful, and it seemed that it was not affected by the drought.

I really didn't know.

At this time, refugees had already surged outside Luoyang.

Only the Luoyang city wall separated them, as if they were two different worlds.

Luoyang, Li Mansion.

Meeting hall.

Li Xiang sat at the top.

Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, Li Jing, Li Sheng, Feng Fang, housekeeper Zhou Fu and others gathered.

Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu smiled when they saw Li Xiang.

Zhen Yi couldn't wait to report the results of the battle, saying:

"My Lord, two months have passed, and our soap has sold well, selling more than 100,000 pieces. Each piece of soap is sold for five five-zhu coins. After deducting expenses, the profit is 600,000 to 700,000 coins."

"Of course, although soap is also very profitable, it is not as profitable as Yuye Liquor. In the past two months, we have expanded the winery and increased the production of Yuye Liquor. We have sold 1,200 jars. According to one jar of 100 dan of grain, we have collected 140,000 dan of grain."

"Thanks to what my Lord said, we should settle accounts with grain. Now with the severe drought in various parts of the Han Dynasty, the five-zhu coins required for one dan of grain are no longer the previous 30 coins, but have soared to 41 coins per dan."

"140,000 dan of grain, according to 41 coins per dan , then it is worth 5.74 million five-zhu coins!"

"And even if there are 5.74 million five-zhu coins, it is not necessarily possible to buy 140,000 shi of grain under the current situation!"

"Besides, our winery is still small. The more than 1,000 jars of Yuye wine are in short supply in Luoyang alone. Many Luoyang's aristocratic families have reserved more than 4,000 jars of Yuye wine, and half of the grain has been prepaid. 400,000 shi of grain is worth 8 million coins, and this is only in Luoyang. Now the rich people in various states of the Han Dynasty are contacting us, wanting to sell Yuye wine in other places, but our production cannot keep up, and we are only doing it in Luoyang now."

In the hall, Zhen Yi excitedly told Li Xiang about the harvest in the past two months, and he was obviously very excited.

Sold more than 100,000 pieces, and each piece of soap sold for five five-zhu coins. After deducting expenses, the profit is 600,000 to 700,000 coins!

Selling 1,200 jars of Imperial Jade Liquor, at the rate of one jar for 100 dan of grain, the amount of grain collected was 140,000 dan of grain!

According to the current market price of 41 coins per dan of grain, the value was 5,740,000 5 baht coins!

This was the actual sales.

And the Luoyang family also made a large number of reservations!

In Luoyang alone, the number of Imperial Jade Liquor reservations reached more than 4,000 jars.

4,000 jars means 400,000 dan of grain, with a total value of 8 million coins.

If half of the grain is prepaid, that is 200,000 dan of grain!

In the hall, everyone was shocked and surprised to hear Zhen Yi's excited report.

They knew that soap and Imperial Jade Liquor were popular in Luoyang and in short supply.

Even though Imperial Jade Liquor reached a sky-high price, it was still out of stock.

However, when they really heard the specific data, they were still shocked.

In just two months, the actual sales and reservations of soap and Imperial Jade Liquor have collected nearly 15 million 5 baht coins!

Fifteen million five-zhu coins, don't understand what that means?

Then, if converted into grain, it would be about 360,000 dan of grain!

You know, one dan of grain is enough for ordinary people for two months!

This is just the data for Luoyang.

This is just the result of their winery not being fully developed.

Didn't Zhen Yi say that now the wealthy people in various states of the Han Dynasty are contacting them, wanting to sell Yuye wine in other places.

Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu were excited, looking at Li Xiang with admiration.

Li Jing, Li Sheng, Feng Fang, and housekeeper Zhou Fu looked at Li Xiang with eagerness.

Soap and Yuye wine are simply money-making tools, enough to make the Li family a wealthy family in the Han Dynasty. In addition, with Li Xiang's status in the court, with Li Xiang, the Li family will inevitably become a giant in the Han Dynasty!

Sitting

Li Xiang, who was at the top, was also a little excited when listening to Zhen Yi's report.

He naturally knew that soap and Yuye wine would definitely make money, but he still didn't expect it to be so profitable!

"So, we have more than 300,000 shi of grain?" Li Xiang asked the question he was concerned about.

Hearing Li Xiang's question, the butler Zhou Fu on the side did not dare to neglect it and said hurriedly:

"Reply to the master, the actual sale of Yuye wine, plus the reserved Yuye wine grain, minus the consumption of brewing, minus the consumption of workers, now there are 330,000 shi in the village granary!"

"330,000 shi of grain, good!" Li Xiang couldn't help but applaud when he heard this accurate word.

Now, it's a chaotic world.

Having grain is undoubtedly the kingly way!

Holding 330,000 shi of grain, Li Xiang felt that his back was straightened.

Because this grain is really a lot!

For an ordinary person, one shi of grain is enough for two months of food.

He now has 330,000 shi in his hands!

With 20 million five-zhu coins in hand, Li Xiang did not feel how strong he was.

However, with 330,000 shi of grain in hand, Li Xiang felt very rich.

Of course, while feeling rich, Li Xiang was shocked by the abundance of the treasuries of the noble families and aristocratic clans.

Whether it was soap or Yuye wine, they were not something that ordinary people could afford.

Now ordinary people can hardly afford to eat, so where can they get money to buy soap and Yuye wine.

Undoubtedly, the money and grain that Li Xiang earned were all taken out of the treasuries of the noble families and aristocratic clans.

"How many people do we have now to produce soap and brew wine?"

Li Xiang suppressed the feeling of being rich with 330,000 shi of grain in his waist and asked a key question again.

Hearing this, the housekeeper Zhou Fu hurriedly bowed again and said:

"My Lord, there are now 3,213 people producing soap and brewing wine, all of whom are families, and a total of 7,428 people need us to provide food."

"As for the guards, they are the strong guards selected and trained by the Lord. According to the Lord, they are the Great Shark Guard Team, 500 people!"

Zhou Fu gave Li Xiang an accurate reply.

Li Xiang listened to the data, took a deep breath under the gaze of everyone, and said:

"Luoyang alone can reserve more than 4,000 jars of Yuye wine, which means that Luoyang's demand for Yuye wine has almost reached saturation. It's time for us to expand to the important cities of the states of the Han Dynasty."

Li Xiang's words made Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu happy.

The Luoyang market is saturated, and it will be fine if we supply it slowly.

However, there is a lot of room for development in the world.

The Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty, Sili, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou.

Except for Bingzhou, Youzhou, Liangzhou, and Jiaozhou, which are bitter and cold places on the frontier, the rest are rich places.

The market is huge.

Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu can't help but be excited.

Because Li Xiang promised them before that the two families would share 10% of the profits.

Although it seems that the two families share 10% of the profits.

However, it depends on how big the share of soap and Yuye wine is.

Yuye wine can sweep the world without any problems.

Of course, Li Xiang decided that Yuye wine would take the ultra-high-end route.

However, relying on the popularity of Yuye wine.

Even if it takes the ultra-high-end route, it will be in short supply, and money will come in.

Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu were very happy to hear that Li Xiang finally let go and wanted to expand on a large scale.

"Since you have decided to expand, do you have a plan?" Li Xiang asked Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu.

Li Xiang did not interfere in business matters, and left the rest to Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu. After all, professional matters should be handled by professionals.

However, he still had to be informed and make decisions on major matters and directions.

Upon hearing this, Mi Zhu hurriedly bowed to Li Xiang and said respectfully:

"My Lord, Zhu has discussed with the head of the Mi family. If we expand, we will start from the capitals of various states or prosperous cities, such as Chang'an, Chenliu, Shouchun, Hanzhong, Lujiang, Chaisang, Puyang, etc."

"With the help of the shops, manpower and material resources of the Zhen and Mi families in various states, we will quickly open up the situation, and then expand from prosperous cities to less prosperous cities, and finally make soap and Yuye wine sales locations all over the world!"

It must be said that Mi Zhu and Zhen Yi really have something in business, with clear ideas, and this business model can be used even in later generations.

Li Xiang can't find any fault with it.

However, after saying this, Mi Zhu saw Li Xiang nod, and then he couldn't help but frowned and said to Li Xiang:

"Soap and Yuye wine are both highly profitable, and they are very profitable, so it is inevitable that people will be concerned about them."

"In Luoyang, many noble families are eyeing it, but knowing that it is the property of the Marquis, and with the threat of the Imperial Guards, the Luoyang noble families dare not act recklessly."

"But,

If it were in each state or county, the aristocratic families would be intertwined and connected to each other, and it would be inevitable that they would have some evil intentions. Even if they were afraid of the power of the Marquis and dared not do anything reckless, they would still play tricks in secret. "

"So, we need to expand the scale, soap, jade liquor to expand the world, and we need a strong guard team!"

"My Mi family and Zhen family are good at business, but they are not good at guarding, and we still need the support of the Marquis! "

Mi Zhu told Li Xiang the problem.

Li Xiang didn't feel it was a problem after hearing what Mi Zhu said.

Guards.

What he was least worried about was strong guards!

At worst, he could let the guards he recruited go to the Imperial Guards camp to practice.

Let the epic Imperial Guards training camp building develop the guards' potential.

Definitely strong guards.

Even so, Li Xiang thought of the idea of ​​building his own power that he had been brewing in his heart, and glanced at Li Sheng, who was sitting next to him and looked quite handsome and determined.

"The matter of guards, this marquis has other arrangements. Today, I have called you to discuss two major matters."

Li Xiang's sudden solemn voice made everyone cautious, and they all looked at Li Xiang.

"I don't know if you have discovered that this jade liquor not only makes people feel ecstatic, but also has a strong effect of dispelling cold. After drinking it, your whole body will be warm. "

Li Xiang's words made everyone nod, and Zhen Yi said:

"It's true, I feel warm all over, very comfortable!"

"In fact, at the beginning, this marquis was quite opposed to brewing wine, because there are constant natural disasters and man-made disasters in this world, and food is very scarce. This marquis can no longer brew wine for enjoyment, consume the world's food, and compete with the people for the food that survives."

Li Xiang's voice was loud and clear, and Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu and others looked at each other.

It seems that they are shocked and surprised that Li Xiang has such an idea.

This angle is really too... unique!

However, then, Mi Zhu, Li Jing, and Li Sheng looked at Li Xiang with admiration.

Don't brew wine, don't compete with the people for food!

"But later, this marquis changed his mind. "

"Because, this marquis found that the food of the nobles and the food of the people should be separated. ”

“The grain of the noble families filled up the granaries and government treasuries. In the event of a disaster, the noble families could still enjoy the food in the granaries and government treasuries for ten or twenty years, but the common people had no food in their jars. Countless people starved to death in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.”

“Therefore, the grain of the noble families and the grain of the common people should be separated.”

“From then on, this marquis was no longer opposed to brewing wine.”

“And, based on the effect of Jade Liquid Wine, this marquis wanted to brew wine with the grain of the noble families, and use the wine brewed from the grain of the noble families to earn more grain from the noble families, to strengthen the Li family, and to help the common people. In addition, based on the strong effect of Jade Liquid Wine to dispel cold, this marquis thought that Jade Liquid Wine should not be limited to the Han Dynasty, but could also be sold to foreign races, and it would certainly be in short supply. Using Jade Liquid Wine, you can earn war horses, oxen, sheep, furs and other things from foreign races.”

“Therefore, this marquis’s act of brewing wine will not only not deplete the vitality of the Han Dynasty, but even strengthen the vitality of the Han Dynasty and save more people. "

Li Xiang changed the subject and said something that shocked Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, housekeeper Zhou Fu and others, who looked at Li Xiang in surprise and shock.

Li Xiang's words were full of dissatisfaction with the noble families, but also sympathy for the people!

This made Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu, who were from noble families, feel a little awkward.

However, after carefully tasting Li Xiang's words, they felt that there was nothing wrong with what Li Xiang said.

Because their noble families really have no shortage of food, and even have mountains of food, but they really won't give it to ordinary people in a year of great disasters.

In addition, they are the ones who were sold the Yuye wine to the foreign races as Li Xiang said, and used The words of Yuye wine that can earn foreign war horses, oxen, sheep, furs, etc. suddenly made his eyes bright.

Yuye wine has a strong effect of dispelling cold, and it is really attractive. If it is really sold to the grassland, it can definitely harvest a large number of cattle, sheep, war horses and other scarce resources of the Han Dynasty.

Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu's eyes lit up, as if Li Xiang's words opened a new door for them.

"What the Marquis said about selling Yuye wine to foreign tribes should be good. Zhu has been to the grassland to do business. The weather there is really cold. Yuye wine will definitely sell well and can be exchanged for expensive war horses, cattle and sheep. This is a move to weaken foreign tribes and strengthen the Han Dynasty."

"The Marquis is concerned about the people, and Zhu admires him. Does the Marquis mean to provide porridge and food to help the people?"

Mi Zhu reacted quickly and was very excited to agree with Li Xiang to sell Yuye wine to the grassland. In addition, he asked Li Xiang in confusion.

Listening to Mi Zhu's question, Li Xiang shook his head and said, "Yes and not entirely! "

"This marquis is from the Longxi Li family. If I want to revive the reputation of the Li family, it is not enough to just establish merits on the battlefield and get promoted and make money.

"We also need to let the people say that the Li family is good. Only in this way can the Li family win the support of the people and gain greater prestige among the people. To become the first family in the world, we must win the hearts of the people." "Yuye wine is profitable, and each jar is sold for 100 dan." "This marquis wants to let the Jade Liquid Wine benefit the people. For every jar of Jade Liquid Wine sold, 30% of the profit, that is, 30 dan, will be used to help the people who are in difficulty." "Set up porridge stalls along the official roads in various places to provide relief to the poor, the lonely, the old and the weak, etc. This marquis wants this to continue for a long time, which can be regarded as relief for the people and increase the prestige of the Li family. "

Li Xiang said what he was going to do.

The Han Dynasty was plagued by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and with the coming of the chaotic times, too many people would be buried in it.

Li Xiang remembered that before the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the population of the Han Dynasty was 50 to 60 million.

However, after the chaotic times ended, the population dropped sharply to a crazy 7 to 8 million.

A total of 40 to 50 million people died.

Then, it was the darkest moment for the Han people, and the Central Plains sank!

He, Li Xiang, traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, and he had to do something for the Han people.

Let the Han people die less!

Of course, this was not in vain!

He, Li Xiang, could win the hearts of the people and gain an intangible reputation.

Although this thing is usually useless.

But when it is really used, it is like God's help!

And anyway, this food It was taken from the granaries of the noble families.

In the hall, everyone was stunned when they heard that Li Xiang wanted to take out 30% of the profits of Yuye Wine, that is, for every jar and 100 dan of grain sold, 30 dan of grain would be used to help the people.

Li Xiang’s relief was not 10,000 dan of grain!

Nor was it 50,000 dan!

But 30 dan of grain for every jar of Yuye Wine!

You should know that in Luoyang alone, the reservations + actual sales were enough for 5,000 jars of Yuye Wine, which was 500,000 dan of grain.

30%, that would be 150,000 dan of grain!

And this is not the end, but only in Luoyang.

If Yuye Wine is sold all over the world, how much grain will be used to help the people?

One million dan of grain?

Two million dan of grain?

"This... Lord, is it too much?"

Zhen Yi was shocked and reminded Li Xiang.

Li Xiang shook his head and said:

"Not much, it seems that this number is a lot, but in fact, it is just a drop in the ocean when looking at the whole world. "

Indeed, in Li Xiang's opinion, it is not too much. You know, the entire Han Dynasty now has 50 to 60 million people, and the monthly food consumption is a huge amount.

Even if the relief food reaches one million stones, what's the problem?

That's just to help one million people for two months!

Of course, the reason is that this food comes from the aristocratic family, and it comes very light, so Li Xiang doesn't feel bad.

Food is naturally good, but too much is useless.

It is only valuable when it is used.

In the hall, Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu heard Li Xiang say that in the whole world, it is still a drop in the ocean, and they immediately smacked their tongues and didn't know what to say.

Li Xiang's relief vision is to look at the world?

[Ding ! The host decided to use 30% of the profits of Jade Liquid Wine to help the people of the world. This is a benevolent act, which greatly enhances the family's prestige. The way of the king, reward the host [Benevolence] • King-level characteristics]

[Benevolence] • King-level: With this characteristic, the host's charm +10, the people will have a good impression of the host, and it has a miraculous effect on recruiting talents!

The system prompt sound suddenly sounded, Li Xiang was slightly startled, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, this matter, this marquis has made up his mind, and 30% of the profits of Jade Liquid Wine will be used to directly help the people who can't survive. In addition, the sales of Jade Liquid Wine should not be limited to the Han people, but also sold to the grasslands. This marquis will use foreign war horses to equip my Han army, and use foreign oxen to fill my Han granary! "

Li Xiang made a summary, which made Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, and the housekeeper Zhou Fu all tremble and agree to Li Xiang.

At this time, Li Xiang finally set his sights on Li Sheng again.

"Yuye wine has great profits and people are coveting it. It needs a strong guard team to protect it. It is well-equipped, strong and powerful. The number will not be small. Ten thousand, twenty thousand, or even more is possible. This guard team is the foundation of the Li family's foothold in the Han Dynasty. Good equipment, this marquis will give this task to you, do you have the confidence? "

In the hall, as Li Xiang mentioned the matter of the guard team again, everyone was in an uproar, but it was because of Li Xiang's requirements for the guard team.

Well-equipped, strong and powerful, the number will not be small, 10,000, 20,000, or even more?

The young and resolute Li Sheng was shocked when he heard Li Xiang handing the matter over to him, but when he came to his senses, Li Sheng was a little excited.

Because, Li Xiang said, this guard team is the foundation of the Li family's foothold in the Han Dynasty!

"My lord, believe in Sheng, and Sheng will not let you down!"

Li

Sheng quickly bowed to Li Xiang, his voice firm, his face resolute and steady.

Li Xiang could not help but nod his head in satisfaction at Li Sheng.

Appointing Li Sheng to build a super guard team was a matter of careful consideration by Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was indeed prepared to expand this super guard team, 70,000 to 80,000, or even 100,000.

With diligent training, it will be a powerful army in the future!

The troubled times are coming, and Li Xiang must plan for himself.

In troubled times, only by having a super power can one protect his wealth, beauty, and power.

And Li Sheng is something Li Xiang is very satisfied with.

Historically, Li Sheng was a famous general in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

Brave and good at fighting, he was a general and a prime minister.

History books called him "great talent" and "good at adapting to changes".

Recovering Chang'an can be said to have made a major contribution to the unification of the Tang Dynasty.

Throughout his life, he served as Taiwei, Prime Minister, and Prince of Xiping!

Brave and resourceful, capable of both literature and martial arts, and calm in character, these are the reasons why Li Xiang used Li Sheng to build a guard team!

"Okay, Master Zhen, Master Mi, you will cooperate more with Li Sheng in the future. Not only will you collect money from all over the world for the Li family, but you will also build a super guard team for the Li family!"

Li Xiang said to Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu looked at Li Xiang with complicated eyes.

Today, Li Xiang's layout is not small and shocking.

Yuye Liquor expands to various states of the Han Dynasty, collects money from all over the world, expands to the grassland, strengthens the Han Dynasty and weakens foreign races.

Take out 30% of the huge profits of Yuye Liquor to help the people, win the hearts and reputation of the people.

Then build a super guard team.

If many things are carried out, the Li family will really become bigger and bigger, and soon it will become a super family!

They seem to see a rising super tyrant family, which is growing violently!
