Traveling through ancient times.

Chapter 112 Can We Cooperate?

When Jiang Yizhou heard the two people's questions, he suddenly burst into laughter.

The three of them were a little confused. Why was Mr. Jiang smiling so happily?

So I started laughing too.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, Jiang Yizhou could clearly hear the three people's criticisms of him:

"This woman doesn't look mentally normal. It's better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. It has always been difficult to raise women and villains. The ancients were right."

"This woman seems to be a bit moody. If it weren't for the fact that you... have something against me, then... well... don't anger her for now. Even though I don't know what she's laughing at, just laugh along with her."

"Oh, it was a close call. I finally managed to keep these two crooked officials. Oh, the head of the Jiang family took an unconventional approach and actually used this method without telling him in advance. I was really scared to death just now."

The little Tongzi in the sea of ​​consciousness said, "You did take a risky step just now. What if these two officials just walk away?"

Jiang Yizhou said, "I feel that if I follow the rules and rhythm of these people, even if I am eaten alive by them, I still cannot satisfy their greed. These two people are obviously the kind of people who take advantage of others and extort money from the lower class. Now that I have compromised and catered to them, how much benefit do you think I need to take to satisfy their appetite?"

"Even if I give them my entire property, I'm afraid it won't be enough. The most important thing is, as you just saw, they don't take me, or me as a woman, seriously at all, let alone put me on an equal footing for communication. On the one hand, they want to take the fruits of my labor from me, and on the other hand, they look down on me and ask me to curry favor with those who trample on me?"

Xiao Tongzi: "...That's the truth. This is the cruelty of reality."

Jiang Yizhou: "As for what you said just now about them leaving without caring, it just wastes some time for me. I will never give this cement to any official or family consortium. Their purpose of suppressing it is to take it for themselves. At worst, I can break this relationship myself."

Xiao Tongzi: "How are you going to expose it? Bring it to the court directly? You think the palace is too simple..."

Jiang Yizhou: "Just set up a sales point in Kyoto and sell cement to Kyoto..." Even if those people want to make trouble, just make a big deal out of it. There is no need to worry about not getting to the ears of the authorities.

Jiang Yizhou felt really happy at the moment, as he had secured his position as the head of the Jiang family in his first game with these corrupt officials.

She asked Wei Ke to pour more for everyone, and she took the lead in taking a sip, then said with a smile: "Yunshan Special Liquor."

The three of them repeated, "Yunshan Special?"

Jiang Yizhou nodded seriously: "To be honest, this is a new fine wine developed by our farm. What do you think?"

They couldn't help but take another sip; it was quite strong.

Even the best Shaodaozi is far inferior to this. The key point is that it tastes purely burning and painful, and has a bitter taste.

But this one gives people a mellow and long-lasting feeling, with a faint warmth after the hot taste.

And there's that feeling of being slightly tipsy, almost drunk, which is really indescribable.

"Good wine, really good wine!"

Jiang Yizhou took the opportunity to ask: "Do you think this wine will sell well in Kyoto at this price?"

——"Market? If this kind of wine is brought to Kyoto, it will be a boon to those drunkards. Why would you worry about market?"

——"If this is launched, I'm afraid everyone will rush to buy it."

This was what Zhang and Fu thought, but what they said was: "Master Jiang, are you going to sell this wine to Kyoto?"

Although Jiang Yizhou already knew the answer he wanted, he didn't show it on his face and still responded to the other party's question. He nodded in response.

Zhang and Fu looked at each other, then their expressions became serious. "To be honest with Master Jiang, this wine is very strong and mellow, but there are too many famous wines in Kyoto, and everyone has their own taste habits. I'm afraid it will be difficult to open up the market for this wine."

Jiang Yizhou: "Do the two gentlemen have any suggestions?"

The two were already slightly tipsy, but they knew clearly that this wine had a great market. The other party asked this because he wanted to sell it to Kyoto.

So……

"I wonder how much this wine cost, Master Jiang? How much is it priced at?"

Jiang Yizhou said: "The cost is two taels of silver, and the price is ten taels."

Twelve?

Even ordinary muddy wine costs dozens of coins per pound. The kind that you can drink ten or eight bowls without getting drunk, but instead feel full.

This wine is clear and transparent, without any impurities, and has no bitter taste like other wines.

Those wines like osmanthus wine and peach blossom wine are actually just wines with added fruity and floral scents to cover up their bitterness.

According to the wine-making techniques they knew, it took about five or six kilograms of grain to make one kilogram of wine. This would probably require more, as well as more complicated processes and labor, and the cost might be several hundred coins.

The other party said two taels of silver, which was obviously several times the amount.

As for the ten taels of silver... that was the price they had given to the wine in their minds.

But the head of the Jiang family actually went straight to the point and directly mentioned the price they wanted.

Zhang Cong: "Master Jiang has no sincerity in the discussion. However, if Master Jiang is willing to give up the cement formula, we may be able to think of a way to promote this wine in Kyoto."

Fu Xian followed up by saying, "Yes, Master Jiang, to be honest, the cement formula is completely useless in your hands. Why not contribute it to the court and let the court do it? Wouldn't it be able to do more for the country and the people? Now you have this... Yunshan Special Qu in your hands, and we are here to protect you, so why worry about not having a lot of money rolling in."

The two men were unable to use subtle and covert methods to make the head of the Jiang family submit, so they took advantage of the alcohol to express their purpose.

Jiang Yizhou, on the contrary, felt that it was much more pleasant to listen to when everyone spoke freely.

She smiled and said, "You two adults are worthy of being the pillars of the court. You always think about serving the country and the people. However, you have several properties in Kyoto, and your family also has thousands of acres of good land in the local area. Every year, you are paid thousands of taels of silver, and there are also tributes from officials in various places, and... at least tens of thousands of taels. In addition to your exchanges with the upper echelons and various levels, I also have five or six thousand taels of silver. According to the life of an ordinary family with less than one tael of silver a month, if you can take the lead in donating this money to those poor people, so that they can have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace, then it will be a role model for our generation. I, Jiang Yizhou, will definitely bow down to you and donate the profits from my Yunshan Farm to the court to build bridges and roads..."

In fact, when she told them their income and expenditure one by one, Zhang and Fu's faces darkened again.

That's right, when they thought about the profits of Yunshan Special Liquor just now, they couldn't help but think about how much they could get from it, and then instinctively went over their wealth in their minds.
