"Something is going wrong! Something is going wrong!"
Zhu Shan was in a panic.
Before anyone arrived, the sound came.
And the sound was so loud that some people stopped what they were doing.
What's going on?
Zhushan was not like this before.
So reckless?
Li Min was even more puzzled.
Is there anything that could make Zhushan like this?
"Zhu Shan, what's the matter, are you so flustered?"
"Mr. Zili! Something bad has happened."
"What's up?"
“The price of fruit wine has increased tenfold!”
Zhu Shan's voice was so loud that everyone around him could hear it. Everyone put down what they were doing and listened attentively. After all, this matter involved the production of Wuyou Liquor. If it couldn't be produced, then they would have nothing to do.
"What? The price of fruit wine has increased tenfold!"
This surprised Li Min.
Then Zhu Shan added: "I heard that it was done by the Wang family. They control the price of fruit wine in Chang'an City."
"Oh? What if I don't buy it in Chang'an?"
"If you don't buy it in Chang'an, I'm afraid it won't be good about the travel expenses. It will probably be even more expensive! After all, the Lu family is in charge of transportation and shipping. The Lu family and the Wang family have maintained a good relationship all year round!"
The Wang family has a large production territory and has good relations with several other major families. In terms of daily necessities, the five major families basically monopolize the entire Tang Dynasty. The Wang family has an absolute advantage in daily necessities, while the Lu family is stronger in cars and ships. If you want to buy fruit wine from other places, you have to transport it from the Lu family. Others may not be able to yet. And it’s troublesome.
Therefore, for these five major families, Li Shimin was too angry to express his anger.
Regarding the fruit wine issue this time, the Wang family must have taken note of several major aristocratic families.
"It seems that the Wang family can't sit still any longer!"
Li Min said.
At the same time, he also knew that all this must be related to Wang Guifei. It is even more closely related to Wang Yang, the head of the Wang family.
Of course, there is also Wang Gui, who is also a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan. As far as he knows, he and Wang Guifei are also related. Last time Li Yuan told him to be careful with him, but now it seems that he has really taken action.
Interesting, really interesting!
Sometimes he feels that Li Shimin is very pitiful. He lives in the shadow of these five aristocratic families every day, but he cannot have himself.
Of course, it is also because the current Tang Dynasty is not strong enough. If it is stronger, it will not have to be controlled by others.
"Why did they do this? Did you provoke them?"
Zhu Shan still didn't understand the relationship, and he didn't even know that the Wang family was trying to take advantage of Li Min.
He stands out too much, and some people are worried about him. Can we not punish him?
"It looks like some people are jealous!"
"What's the meaning?"
"The Wang family saw that our worry-free wine was selling well, so they started to suppress us. After raising the cost of fruit wine, it will have a huge impact on our profits. It's like someone has strangled your throat, how can you breathe smoothly?"
When the Wang family saw that Li Min was making a lot of money, they also wanted to make a fortune, but they looked ugly and even used fruit wine.
This method is really too low-end. Of course, they can't do high-end stuff, and only in this way can they influence Li Min.
"So that's the case, so what should we do? If the cost of fruit wine increases tenfold, then our profits will drop by more than 30%, and they may rise again! This fruit wine is our raw material, and if we don't produce it for a day, The workers may be idle and have no money to pay, which will be a huge blow to us.”
After Zhu Shan finished speaking, he added, "Why don't we report it to the official? Or, let's say, you let people from the Ministry of Revenue take action?"
Li Min said, "That won't work. The Wang family is so powerful that the Ministry of Household Affairs may still have people. This requires a top-down attack."
"You mean, you want to inform His Majesty?"
"Notice? Why? He will know it himself. If he wants to do it, he will do it in a big way. If the Wang family declares war on me, I will not be polite to them!"
Li Min said harshly.
Zhu Shan was stunned for a moment. What should Li Min do?
"So, what are we going to do now?"
"How many days do you have enough Wuyou wine to sell?"
Li Min suddenly asked.
"Twenty days! If we don't buy any more fruit wine, it will be sold out in twenty days."
Twenty days?
That's enough.
"good very good!"
"Mr. Zili, is this okay? We won't have any wine to sell in twenty days!"
"Don't worry, I will certainly find a way."
As soon as he heard that there was a way, Zhu Shan became energetic.
"any solution?"
"Go and buy a lot of food. The more, the better. We need it tomorrow!"
"ah!?"
Zhu Shan didn't know what kind of operation this was.
Why do you need food?
"This is the proportion of grain you want to buy, all of this grain must be bought!"
Li Min ignored him and directly wrote down the proportions of some grains, such as rice and millet.
"Mr. Zili, can you tell me what you want to do next?"
Zhu Shan was puzzled.
“Since we can’t buy fruit wine, let’s make it ourselves!”
Li Min checked the contents of the browser just now.
Regarding the brewing of wine, it can be produced in as little as ten days. With the addition of distillation equipment, worry-free wine can be produced in twenty days!
And the output is still very high.
He found out that the wine yield rate of rice is that every 100kg of rice can produce 84.09kg of 50% liquor. That is, 1.19 kilograms of rice can brew one kilogram of 50-degree liquor. If you lower the alcohol content and add more water, it will basically be one to one.
That is to say, as much grain as you buy, you can produce as much wine as you want.
And there is one point ten
"Brew your own wine? This..."
"What? You don't believe I can do it?"
"No, no, no...it's just..."
"All you have to do is do it. Next, we will start to produce and sell our own fruit wine. We can no longer rely on fruit wine. If they want to increase the price, let them increase it. From now on, I will let their fruit wine rot in my hands!"
Li Min said very confidently.
Although Zhu Shan didn't know much about it, he knew what to do next.
It will be easier if you have a direction.
"Yes! Then I will buy these grains!"
"Go!"
Zhu Shan just walked out and came back again.
"Mr. Zili, Wang Yang is here!"
Wang Yang has been showing up for a long time. He has not appeared since the last opening of Shengtang Group. If he comes here today, there must be nothing good going on.
It appears again at this juncture when the price of fruit wine is rising. Perhaps it is because of this incident.
"Huh? He still dares to come! This old guy! Let him come in, and you can go buy food!"
Li Min wanted to see what he was up to.
"yes!"
Zhu Shan first introduced Wang Yang into the living room, and then took people with a large amount of money to buy grain.
Wang Yang, on the other hand, looked arrogant as he walked in slowly.
Even though he was in someone else's house, he still acted so arrogantly, so it looked like he deserved to be scolded.
