"How much? How much?"
Several gentlemen were stunned and their expressions changed.
Zheng Yueru also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This Zuiyinzhou immediately made these rich and well-traveled men unable to sit still, and even shouted out a high price of fifteen taels!
Liu Zheng was by his side today and remained silent.
After all, his father is the county magistrate.
But at this time, he was also shocked.
Fifteen taels, what does this mean?
The purchase price in Yinzhou is fifteen taels, so what if it is sold elsewhere? As we all know, this era is not like the previous one. The logistics cost in this era is the highest! If I sell this fifteen taels of wine to Jinghua, I'm afraid I have to guarantee thirty taels!
Thirty taels...
Sky-high price!
However, Cao Zhen was extremely happy at this time and laughed loudly: "You guys accept it, you accept it!"
The other gentlemen all looked unhappy and regretful. I thought that if I paid fifteen taels, I might be able to make some money. After all, he still lacked courage in the last moment, and his businessman nature was fully demonstrated at this moment.
"snort!"
Chen Kui's face was dark, and he almost had a seizure on the spot, calling hundreds of his elite soldiers to rush in.
"What, Mr. Chen can't afford to lose?"
Cao Zhen smiled coldly.
But the atmosphere became tense for a moment, and then Chen Kui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, I, Chen Kui, am not someone who cannot afford to lose. Let's just say goodbye!"
After saying that, he didn't even say hello to Liu Dahao. He stood up and walked away with hundreds of elite soldiers at the door.
The same goes for the Wang family.
Liu Zheng felt slightly angry in his heart.
When the fighting strength of his army is formed, these noble families will be dealt with by him one by one sooner or later.
Like the contract signed by the Zheng family, Liu Zheng emphasized that the local "Drunken Yinzhou" in Yinzhou would be supplied by the county magistrate. And this situation will change as the situation develops. For example, it is possible that the entire Liangzhou wine will be supplied by the Liu family. He supplies local products at the lowest price, so the Cao family naturally has no objection. After all, it is impossible for him to buy goods for fifteen taels, and sell them for fifteen taels, which is totally worthless...
The Zheng family and the Cao family also understood Liu Zheng's good intentions.
If he comes here, many people will definitely come to Yinzhou to stimulate consumption! Naturally, Yinzhou, an unruly place, will become relatively prosperous.
"This young man from the Liu family..."
When Cao Zhen signed the contract and left, he was already deep in thought.
This Liu Zheng is not like the previous county princes and young masters who came for "a few days' trip". He does this because he wants to truly develop Yinzhou.
It seems that the Cao family needs to re-examine their relationship with the county marquis.
"Son, oh, oh, this is another sum of money. You are much better than dad and I!"
When the last Zheng Yueru left, Liu Dahao became even more excited. In just one day, another three thousand taels of deposit came from the Zheng family and the Cao family respectively.
A few days ago, the house was completely bare.
You can become rich instantly today, who can’t be happy?
Liu Zheng glanced at him and said, "Dad, is this all you have to do?"
"Three thousand taels?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "Three thousand taels, even a thousand soldiers cannot be raised."
A basin of cold water poured down in an instant. Liu Dahao murmured a few times but never said a word.
That's right.
Raising soldiers is a costly matter. Liu Zheng did the math. When the county magistrate wants to ensure five thousand elite soldiers, one person does not need too much. One tael of silver per month is 5,000 taels, and weapons must be taken care of. Equipment, food and drink. Five thousand elite soldiers, at least ten thousand taels will be burned!
Of course, this situation can be improved a lot if we implement the garrison system in the future.
But for him now, the most important task is to make money!
"hiring!"
These days, Liu Zheng has completely built his "God's Workshop" into a fully enclosed workshop. He first spent money to find someone to help build a wall for the God's Workshop, and then directly asked the soldiers of the county marquis to come here. Training, and can also serve as a guard, so that those who want to covet the secrets here can completely give up their thoughts.
With the mountains at his back, Liu Zheng first built his brewery.
Zui Yinzhou, Shenxian Brewing, Bai Yujing and Zui Baxian were brewed separately. He hired more than 300 craftsmen alone! Fortunately, when he first came to Yinzhou, he got along with these farmers, so recruiting people was not difficult at all, and these people were more supportive of the reconstruction of the county magistrate's mansion.
There are still not enough manpower...
While recruiting craftsmen, training, and recruiting soldiers.
As a result, Liu Zheng did not leave Shengongfang for half a month and returned to the county houfu.
Time flies, and it is now the time for the autumn harvest. Many of the craftsmen in the Shen Workshop have taken leave to go back to the autumn harvest. Suddenly, the lively yard has become a lot more desolate.
"Brother Liu, you're welcome and safe!"
As soon as Liu Zheng made himself a cup of tea, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the neutral sound made it obvious that it was Zheng Yueru who was coming.
He couldn't help but feel happy, the money-giving boy came again.
I was just worried that I would run out of money for this month.
"Miss Zheng came just in time, try my Biluochun!"
Liu Zheng welcomed her in.
Zheng Yueru smiled and said: "Brother Liu is worthy of being the young master of Liangzhou. He really knows how to enjoy life."
Seeing her anxious eyes, Liu Zheng naturally knew that she was here for the fine wine. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Zheng. I had known that the autumn harvest would be busy, so this batch of fine wine has already been produced."
Zheng Yueru's face relaxed a little: "That's good, that's good! Brother Liu should be used to life in Yinzhou. I would like to ask, when is the county marquis' mansion planned to be opened?"
Open the mansion.
Since it is the reconstruction of the county palace, the opening ceremony is definitely required. This is not a formality, but a formal process. When the county magistrate opens the government, he will announce the personnel on the same day, redesign the tax policy, and establish some relevant departments. This is the top priority of the government.
At this time, the county prince's government really had official recognition and legal effects.
Now, the entire Yinzhou is staring at the county magistrate's house.
Especially these four prominent families are the most serious. If the policies of the county governor affect their interests, who knows what will happen.
Therefore, it is normal for Zheng Yueru to be concerned about this matter.
After all, the Zheng family is now the royal family that has the closest relationship with the county prince. The cooperation between the two parties has achieved a win-win situation. The business of Fengming Tower is also booming. She does not want to break up with the county prince.
"Opening a mansion?"
Liu Zheng chuckled: "It will probably be soon. Miss Zheng will just wait for the announcement."
Zheng Yueru frowned and said: "Brother Liu, the autumn harvest is busy and people's thoughts change. This is the best time to open a house. If Brother Liu has any concerns, you can discuss it with me. The Zheng family will definitely contribute to the county magistrate. !”
"oh?"
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't expect that Miss Zheng would actually say these words to him, which could be regarded as being sincere.
When the autumn harvest is busy, the psychological activities of the people in Yinzhou fluctuate greatly. After all, Yinzhou is barren, and the annual harvest basically depends on the weather. It is normal for farmers to feel unbalanced when they look at their pitiful grains. Therefore, this time is the best time to implement new policies.
Zheng Yueru knew that Liu Zheng was worried that the opening of the mansion would cause a mutiny among the four prominent families, so she came to speak to Liu Zheng first to express the Zheng family's position.
"There is no need for Miss Zheng to worry, I, Liu Zheng, am enough."
Liu Zheng laughed.
He is not yet in need of a woman's help.
Zheng Yueru was anxious: "Brother Liu, please don't be arrogant. Recently, the prominent families have seen that the county government is gradually stabilizing, and they feel unhappy. My Zheng family and Cao family are fine. I heard that Chen Kui of the Chen family has announced that the county government will be established on the day of the opening of the government." Mr. Hou looks good..."
Liu Zheng was furious when he heard this. He stood up and shouted: "Did he really say that?"
Zheng Yueru nodded and added: "Brother Liu is a scholar in Liangzhou. You must have heard of Chen Batian, the capital of Liangzhou!"
"Chen Batian?"
A flash of light flashed in Liu Zheng's eyes. Chen Batian, the commander of Liangzhou's army and horse, was the first person in Liangzhou's military. His real name was Chen Liang. Because of his domineering, burly appearance, amazing force, and decisive killing, he was known as "Chen Batian". Chen Batian.
"Could it be that this Chen family belongs to Chen Batian..."
Zheng Yueru nodded and warned: "Brother Liu, these two thousand private soldiers of the Chen family are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield arranged by Chen Batian. Brother Liu, be careful!"
Liu Zheng didn't expect that such a thing would happen, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
A sergeant who has been on the battlefield and killed people is naturally not an ordinary sergeant. No wonder Chen Kui is so arrogant. When it came to fine wines, he couldn't compete with the Zheng family and the Cao family. Seeing these two families making a lot of money, he naturally felt very dissatisfied. Even the idea of robbing his "God's Workshop" is not something bizarre.
"Chen family..."
Liu Zheng laughed.
Zheng Yuru still wanted to persuade.
Liu Zheng said coldly: "Miss Zheng doesn't need to say anything. It would be better if the Chen family doesn't come. If he dares to come, I, Liu Zheng, will destroy his Chen family!"
"Brother Liu!"
Zheng Yueru's expression changed greatly when she heard this. She wanted to scold her followers away, but it was already too late.
How dare you say this in such a situation? Brother Liu is too imprudent!
What she didn't know was that Liu Zheng did this on purpose.
During this period of time, the number of soldiers in the county houfu has reached one thousand. After Qin Changfeng's training, their combat effectiveness has been formed. Liu Zheng has been waiting for his plate armor to be equipped on a large scale, so that he can open a mansion and use these noble families to establish their power.
Unexpectedly, the Chen family was the first to be unable to bear it any longer.
At this time, Lu Dachui came over with a look of joy on his face: "Sir, we have finally forged the fine iron you wanted. We have successfully cast a set of plate armor. Please show me!"
Liu Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, take me to see it!"
"Brother Liu..."
Zheng Yueru shouted again.
Liu Zheng thought to himself that Zheng Yueru kindly reminded him that he obviously wanted to make good friends with the county marquis, and the Zheng family should be the target of his wooing. If he ignored it, who would the Zheng family turn to when the government opened? It’s hard to say.
So he chuckled and said, "Miss Zheng, do you want to go into our workshop and have a look?"
"ah?"
Zheng Yueru looked surprised: "Is this really okay?"
"Walk!"
Liu Zheng smiled lightly.
It's time to show this partner your fighting prowess.
