The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

Chapter 95: This King Is Only For Your Own Good

Failure is the mother of success, which sage said?

If there is no accident, the person who said this sentence should belong to the later sages in this era of King Xian, and there is no time for him to appear on the stage.

But regardless of the sages or later sages, how does Xu Qing know?

He always only remembers famous quotes and never remembers who said them.

So Xu Qing looked at King Xian and asked, "Does your lord know Lu Xun?"

King Xian shook his head: "I don't know you."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "It's great if you don't know him, he is the one who said that."

The virtuous king was puzzled and asked: "What did this person say? Which classic book did this person come from?"

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forgot."

King Xian looked at Xu Qing: "As a scholar, you can forget this?!"

Xu Qing shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't want to defile people's innocence just out of thin air. Your current official status is still a catcher. I really can't afford to be a scholar or something."

Then Xu Qing looked at King Xian and said, "My lord, let's talk about the business of the country."

King Xian was startled when he heard Xu Qing's words: "Guo Shang? It's a good name for the country and the people. If it can really develop, it should be called Guo Shang."

Xu Qing said: "My lord, what do you think should be the first business for Guoshang?"

The virtuous king said: "This is the reason why this king came to you. The wine you make is good, with a mellow taste and a strong taste. If you sell it, it must sell very well. If you can do it, it will be considered a contribution to you. What do you think?"

Damn, it turns out that King Xian has always had his idea of ​​this strong drink!

Xu Qing couldn't help guessing, was he doing it for the country's business or for himself?

If he opened a winery, the wine in the winery might not be able to leave the production workshop.

Xu Qing shook his head and said: "My lord... you should know that everyone loves drinking this kind of extremely strong wine, but judging from the market conditions of the wine that I know, most of the wines in the world are popular now. The market for rice wine and spirits is not too big, we might lose money."

King Xian pursed his lips: "This... this king really hasn't considered it, but... this winery should be established, and the production volume should be reduced first, so as to see how much it can sell."

Xu Qing looked at the virtuous king: "My lord, tell the truth, did you run the winery for Da Chu or because you like to drink?"

The Xian King suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "This...isn't this a matter of getting the best of both worlds..."

Xu Qing: "..."

He knew that the virtuous king would go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, so how could a lazy person like him dedicate himself to serving the country and the people? He can even be so lazy that even the emperor doesn't want to do it...

If it's not good for him, what can he do?

Xu Qing coughed and said, "My lord, actually this strong wine doesn't have to be for drinking."

King Xian looked at Xu Qing and asked, "If you don't drink wine, what else can you use it for?"

Xu Qing said: "At the time when the princess had a low-grade fever, I just applied strong wine to the princess's forehead, which can have a very good therapeutic effect, much better than simply using cold water."

King Xian nodded in surprise, "It turns out that spirits have such miraculous effects."

Xu Qing said: "Not only that, strong alcohol can even be used to eliminate...err..."

Xu Qing almost slipped the tongue, the word sanitization hasn't been used in this world yet, so it's not easy to use it like this.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Qing said: "For example, if you have a deep knife wound, you can apply strong wine on the wound to prevent the wound from getting worse. If you use it well, it may save the life of the person who should have died."

If another person said this to the Xian Wang, the Xian Wang would only think that he was talking nonsense, but it was different from Xu Qing's mouth. This person's medical skills are very superb, and he can easily cure those imperial doctors in the palace. The anorexia disease caused by Xueer can be cured by not letting Xueer drink the medicine.

In short, there must be some basis for what Xu Qing said.

King Xian looked at Xu Qing and asked: "Then if a soldier on the battlefield is wounded by a knife, he can still save his life if he uses strong alcohol?!"

Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Although it may not be possible to reduce the casualties by 10%, it is still very effective,... just like those who have suffered dozens of wounds... I suggest that it is fate... ..."

King Xian looked at Xu Qing and said with a smile: "I will give it a try. It just so happens that the state of Zhou is also constantly harassing us on the border of Great Chu. If your strong wine is really effective, it will be credited to you! You should produce a batch first. Send it to the border on another day."

Xu Qing coughed and said: "My lord, there is no problem in making this spirit, but..."

King Xian looked at Xu Qing and asked, "But what?"

Xu Qing said: "Look at this profit distribution issue..."

Xian Wang nodded and said: "Then it will be three to seven."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "How can you be so embarrassing?"

King Xian looked at Xu Qing and said for granted, "I mean that the national merchants accounted for seven and you accounted for three. What's the embarrassment?"

Hearing this, Xu Qing looked at King Xian and said, "My lord...it's a little inappropriate for you, after all, you just contribute some money, and I will continue to contribute, so you will give 30% of the profit..."

The Xian King glanced at Xu Qing and said: "Thirty percent is a lot. I have a million-strong army in Chu. If it works, this king will let the Ministry of War buy a lot of money. Thirty percent will also be a huge sum of money."

Thinking about it this way, Xu Qing suddenly felt that 30% seemed really a lot...

If you can do business with a million heroes, let alone 30% is 10%, you probably won't be able to spend it all in your life.

After a pause, the virtuous king continued: "Xu Qing, look, if one day you are really wealthy... guess what will happen?"

Xu Qing looked at King Xian and felt chills in his heart: "It will... how about it?"

The virtuous king smiled and said, "Do you know that there is a saying that a man is innocent and conceives a jade? Even if this king is not jealous of you, there is no guarantee that the next emperor will not be jealous of you..."

As he said that, King Xian patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and smiled, "So, sometimes it's wise to take the initiative to give up profits."

Depend on! How dare he threaten himself? !

Xu Qing said she couldn't bear it!

Xian Wang looked at Xu Qing's expression and seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said: "This king is not threatening you, but this king is really thinking about your future. You are still young, and this king can't protect you." If you don’t keep the same for the rest of your life, the next emperor will have other thoughts about you, but this king is all for your own good.”

Xu Qing looked at the Xian Wang blankly: "Then I should thank the lord?"

The Xian Wang shook his head, and said with a simple and honest face: "It's not necessary, we are just mutual benefit..."

Xu Qing really hates the word mutual benefit and reciprocity now, and every time the word comes out, he suffers.

At the beginning, based on the principle of mutual benefit, he went to the Su family to be his son-in-law, but what happened? He is a free chef!

When he came to King Xian, he also did business with him based on the principle of mutual benefit, but ended up being threatened by the future emperor for no reason...

But Xu Qing had to admit that King Xian seemed to be really thinking about him.

After all, there was really a guy in the Ming Dynasty who was as rich as an enemy, and that would be a miserable end...

But...Xu Qing felt very upset when the Xian Wang thought about him so much. If he didn't cheat the Xian Wang, Xu Qing would never get better!

But what is there for him to cheat? This is a problem……

At this moment, a small head poked out from the door: "Xu Qing Xu Qing! We bought another shop in the east of the city! Let's celebrate by eating grilled fish! Hey, why is the father here?"
