Lin Feng returned to the Lin family and stopped caring about Ying Qi's affairs. However, around noon, Ying Wu sent back the news, telling Lin Feng about the emperor's treatment of the prince, 20 punishments and further confinement, and to reassure Lin Feng.
Lin Feng felt relieved after hearing this.
With Ying Jiuxiao around, Ying Qi is nothing. A prince who has not become an emperor may be deposed at any time.
In particular, Ying Qi's position was already unstable.
Ying Zhen has always been eyeing him.
If Yingzhen fails, then Lin Feng plans to overthrow Yingqi. Lin Feng didn't have much respect for the imperial power. If you want to kill me, then I have to fight back.
Lin Feng ignored Ying Qi's affairs for the time being and continued to think about wine making. Purifying wine was very simple. After all, he had already developed the equipment, and it was just a matter of simple distillation.
As for further brewing, that is the next step, and it cannot be successful in a short time, because it involves making koji, wine cellar, etc., which cannot be completed overnight.
While Lin Feng was thinking about it, Gao Xiaoyu came in at noon in the afternoon and reported: "Master, Chen Hetu is asking for an audience. He said he came on the order of Wang Tang, the Minister of Household Affairs."
"please!"
Lin Feng gave an order.
Gao Xiaoyu went to inform him. After a while, Chen Hetu entered, bowed and said: "Chen Hetu, meet Mr. Lin."
Lin Feng said: "Mr. Chen, you are very polite. Please sit down."
Lin Feng also knew about Chen Hetu. He was a capable official in the Ministry of Household Affairs and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although Chen Hetu was not an important official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he still had some influence.
Unexpectedly, Wang Tang and Chen Hetu were sent.
Chen Hetu took the initiative and said: "Mr. Lin, you are the person in charge of wine making. Master Shangshu said that you are good at wine making, and this wine is a peerless wine that can make countless money. I am confused about this matter, even this wine What's the quality of it? If we want to sell wine, we must have some understanding."
Chen Hetu was in the household department and had outstanding abilities. He was less than forty years old and was already a doctor in the household department. With his ability, he can become the Minister of Household Affairs and the second-in-command of the Household Department in a few years.
In the future, Chen Hetu is expected to become the Minister of Household Affairs.
So he was a little unhappy when he was assigned to Lin Feng's side.
Chen Hetu also admired Lin Feng's talent and learning. The question was, what could he accomplish with Lin Feng by his side?
It's definitely not as comfortable as Hubu.
It's just that he himself is Wang Tang's confidant, and Wang Tang also gave instructions in advance. This time working by Lin Feng's side was an opportunity for him to rise to prominence, so he must seize it.
Just like this, Chen Hetu asked, how does it work?
Lin Feng smiled softly and ordered: "Gao Xiaoyu, go get a glass of wine."
"Here!"
Gao Xiaoyu agreed.
He left in a hurry, and after a while, he came in with a glass of wine and brought it to Chen Hetu.
Chen Hetu had a look of surprise on his face when he saw the wine in the glass. Because the wine in front of you is extremely clear, without a trace of sediment or turbidity, just like clear water.
A hint of the aroma of wine, extremely rich, floats into the nose, refreshing people.
Lin Feng looked at Chen Hetu's expression and chuckled: "Master Chen, please."
Chen Hetu picked up the wine bottle and took a sip. The wine entered his throat. It was a bit strong but not spicy. After a moment, the rich aroma of wine bloomed from the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, making people feel as if they were in heaven.
call! !
Chen Hetu breathed a long sigh of relief.
Comfortable!
This wine is so comforting.
Chen Hetu's eyes were bright and sparkling. He can guarantee that he has never drank such good wine in his life.
This is the first time.
Chen Hetu took another sip of the wine in the glass. The strong aroma of wine spread from his throat, and his whole body seemed to be energetic.
At this moment, Chen Hetu stood up and bowed respectfully to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said: "Master Chen, why is this?"
Chen Hetu said: "This is an apology to Mr. Lin. To be honest, I came to work with Mr. Lin under the order of Wang Shangshu, and I am a little bit reluctant."
"Because I thought, how big a deal can a brewer have? So I felt contempt in my heart. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a fine wine, it can be said to be a peerless wine."
"Mr. Lin, please pay attention."
Chen Hetu looked sincere.
He has understood that this wine is really well made, it will definitely be a huge profit, and it will indeed help him go further.
Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Mr. Chen's high moral integrity is admirable. Sit down and talk."
Chen Hetu sat down, looked more respectful, and asked proactively: "Mr. Lin, does this wine have a name?"
"Not yet!"
Lin Feng answered directly.
Chen Hetu said: "This wine was brewed by Mr. Lin, and it should be named by Mr. Lin. Only with a name can it be promoted legitimately and be remembered by others."
Lin Feng didn't have any special ideas about the name of the wine. He thought of one at random and said, "In that case, let's use West Wind Drunk."
After hearing this, Chen Hetu murmured carefully and looked at Lin Feng with an even more admiring look on his face.
"Zifeng Zui!"
"The west wind is the best!"
"Okay, great name!"
"The wine is so strong that it makes even the west wind drunk. What other wine can be compared? Our Daqin is located on the western border. If the west wind is the strongest, it is the best in the world."
"This represents me, Da Qin, even more."
"Xifeng Zui is the most suitable."
Chen Hetu's eyes shone, and he couldn't help but stand up again, bowed his hands to Lin Feng, and said, "Everyone says that Mr. Lin is outstanding in talent and learning. I am convinced when I see Chen Mou today."
Lin Feng chuckled.
He didn't think it over carefully, he just thought of a name casually, but he didn't expect to be explained like this by Chen Hetu.
That's okay.
Lin Feng remained calm and said, "If Mr. Chen thinks it's appropriate, then that's fine."
Chen Hetu said again: "Mr. Lin, Xifengzui's name has been decided. Next, it will inevitably involve trafficking. How should we arrange it?"
As an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Chen Hetu was also very knowledgeable about economic and commercial operations, and he was a technical official.
It was precisely for this reason that Wang Tang asked Chen Hetu to assist Lin Feng.
Lin Feng explained: "Regarding the sale of Xifeng Zui, the first step is to select a store in the city. This is very simple. However, before selling, it needs to be promoted to let everyone know."
"As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is afraid of deep alleys. If we don't promote it and find a store to sell it in Xianyang City, not many people know about it, and it will take a long, long time to build the brand."
"Therefore, we need to promote it in advance to ensure that Xifeng Zui will be a great success once it is put on the market. What I need is not to make money every day, but to far exceed the money made every day and become a cornucopia."
Chen Hetu admired Lin Feng even more.
From Lin Feng's words and deeds, he judged that Lin Feng had profound knowledge in business.
This is not a simple scholar.
Chen Hetu quickly asked: "How does Mr. Lin plan to promote it?"
Lin Feng said directly: "To promote Xifeng Zui, I plan to invite all the brothel courtesans in Xianyang to Yuanyang House to promote Xifeng Zui."
"ah!"
When Chen Hetu heard this, he exclaimed.
The look on his face was shocked.
Invite the oiran?
If this matter spreads out, wouldn't it be laughed at by everyone in the world?
Chen Hetu quickly shook his head and said: "Mr. Lin, this is inappropriate. Such propaganda is very inappropriate. Da Qin's West Wind Drunk is an elegant thing. If you want to invite people to taste it, you should also invite scholars to the shop to taste it. , and then take the opportunity to let them publicize it.”
"Only in this way can we have a reputation and be the real propaganda. But if we invite courtesans to promote it, I am afraid that countless scholars will ridicule and look down upon it. Even if it spreads to the Xia and Jin countries, it will be despised by others."
"We, Great Qin, have always been looked down upon by Xia, Jin and others, who think that we are barbarians. But if something like Xifengzui happens, it will be even worse. It is inappropriate, this is very inappropriate."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "In my opinion, it is very appropriate."
Chen Hetu looked very serious. This matter involved Lin Feng, but it was not easy to handle.
Chen Hetu already knew the news about the East Palace. It was because Lin Feng was involved in the East Palace that the Prince of the East Palace was punished to think about his mistakes behind closed doors and was even punished with twenty canes.
The prince couldn't afford to offend Lin Feng, let alone him?
For a moment, I felt helpless.
what to do?
How should he persuade Lin Feng to change his mind?
