Hearing Emperor Wu's words, Lin Wang felt nervous.
Whether it was an illusion or not, as the time for action drew closer, Lin Wangcong felt that there were some less obvious hints in Emperor Wu's words.
This sentence "If you really stood in my position" always gives people a feeling that they have been seen through.
But if Emperor Wu really saw through everything, then why did he still take poison every day?
And the effects of these poisons are becoming increasingly apparent.
Lin Wang thought for a while and felt that he had thought too much. His plan was careful and there would be no mistakes.
And everyone in the world knows that Emperor Wu and Master Lin have a life-and-death relationship. They grew up together and stood unswervingly on Emperor Wu's side when he was at his weakest.
Everyone in the world betrayed Emperor Wu, and it was not Lin Wang's turn.
Lin Wang himself didn't believe that the emperor would doubt him.
While the two were walking, they arrived at a wine shop where there was a queue.
"Lin Da Liquor House?"
"It's Lin Wanjie's wine shop. The Peach Blossom Drunk should be here."
Emperor Wu nodded and stopped at the door. Looking at the long queue in front of the wine shop, he couldn't help but smile and said: "No wonder I am so nervous that I will steal his formula. Look at this business. I don't know how to make this formula alone." How much benefit can it bring to him?"
Lin Wang was also surprised. The long queue had already reached the street entrance. Such a battle had never been seen in Wudu.
Such a good business is really scary.
"Your Majesty, it's a pity that such a good recipe fell into the hands of a private family. If it could only be in the hands of the imperial court, I don't know how much money it can help the imperial court earn."
"What? You are a minister of the Ministry of Justice, and you are still eyeing business?"
Lin Wang smiled and shook his head: "I just said casually. After all, the treasury was completely depleted before the emperor succeeded to the throne. Even after ten years of operation, the court will still be short of money."
"Yes, I am short of money, but no matter how short of money I am, I can't rob people's things. Where can I put my face if word spreads?"
After all, Emperor Wu was really jealous when he saw so many people lining up outside Lin Da Winery.
You don’t need to think about it to know that if you sell the same wine in Wudu, how many people will flock to it?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone talking at the door: "Hey, have you heard? Lin Da Liquor is interested in selling brewing recipes."
"Really? This Taohua Zui is the only one owned by Lin Dajiu. If it is sold to others, won't there be more competition?"
"Who knows? Maybe the family needs money urgently?"
"But I guess Taohua Zui's prescription won't be cheap."
"That's for sure!"
Upon hearing the news, Emperor Wu and Lin Wang both looked at each other with uncontrollable joy in their eyes.
Without Emperor Wu's instructions, Lin Wang took the initiative to go up and inquire: "Everyone, please tell me in detail about the seller just now."
"Hey, what's there to say? Lin Dajiu is willing to sell the recipe for brewing Peach Blossom Drunk. If you are really serious, just go and ask."
Lin Wang didn't ask again, he knew that he could just ask directly.
I just saw the long queue at the door and wondered how long it would take?
Emperor Wu looked at it and said, "In that case, let's visit him personally."
Before doing this, Lin Wang would definitely have said: How can a private home be worthy of the emperor personally visiting?
But now, Lin Wanjie is the one who wrote the song Shui Tiao. Even the emperor calls him a literary saint. With these multiple auras, he is worthy of such preferential treatment.
The two changed their route again and inquired about the location of Lin's residence. They enjoyed the scenery and wandered all the way. After an hour, they arrived in front of Lin's residence.
Emperor Wu looked at this simple house. The plaque of the Lin Mansion was brand new, and there was a lot of noise coming from inside.
"Lin Da, we are friends. If you don't care about me, you have to give Xiaolian some face. We have to decide on this brewing recipe. No matter how much it costs, just ask."
"Boss Lin, we are partners. It's better to give someone else's advantage than one's own. The Zhao Family Winery is not short of money at all, so just ask."
"No, no, no, boss Lin, are you doing business? If you know one more person, you will have one more path. Cooperating with us will be of great benefit to Lin Winery!"
The voice came out, and Lin Wang frowned: "The news spread so fast?"
"I didn't expect that his wine customers would like it, and the wine merchants would also like it. We have to hear about it in time, otherwise others will beat him to it."
After saying that, Emperor Wu opened the door.
The door was ajar, and when the courtyard door opened, all the admiring merchants in the courtyard turned back to look at Emperor Wu.
Lin Wanjie and the eldest lady were surrounded by merchants. When they saw the emperor coming to the door, Lin Wanjie's expression changed instantly and she thought, why is the emperor here?
Except for Lin Wanjie, no one at the scene knew the emperor.
Although everyone knows that the emperor has come to Yangzhou, most people think that the emperor will not go out on weekdays. Even if he goes out, he will have three layers of protection inside and outside.
Two people appeared alone and dressed like out-of-town merchants, so naturally they wouldn't care.
The eldest lady didn’t know Emperor Wu either, but when she saw Lin Wanjie’s expression changing, she frowned and asked, “Who is it?”
Lin Wanjie whispered: "Your Majesty."
"Emperor!"
The eldest lady was so frightened that she covered her mouth. When she heard Lin Wanjie said that she wanted to use the wine-making recipe to catch the emperor, she thought it was a joke.
Who would have thought that in less than half a day, the emperor would take the bait and visit him personally.
"I heard that Lin Da Liquor House was selling brewing recipes. My husband was also interested in this, so he came here to ask for help. I also asked Boss Lin to make it convenient."
Lin Wang stood up.
But before Lin Wanjie could respond, someone asked him: "Who are you? I want to give you convenience? I didn't see so many people waiting! When will it be your turn?"
"Businessmen from out of town, right? Since you are from out of town, don't get involved in Yangzhou's affairs."
"That's right, this brewing recipe is not cheap."
The emperor was ridiculed by several humble people who did not understand dignity, and Lin Wang's face turned dark.
But Emperor Wu didn't take it seriously and said seriously: "Let's talk about how much this recipe for making wine is worth? Whether it's from other places or locals, since everyone likes the same thing, the one with the highest price will get it."
"My Zhao Family Winery has paid out eight thousand taels of silver."
"My Xia Family Winery offers ten thousand."
"I'll pay fifteen thousand!"
Lin Wang was wiping his sweat when he heard these quotes.
Are all these private merchants so rich?
Even an emperor would feel pain if he took out ten thousand or twenty thousand silver from the treasury.
Emperor Wu thought for a while and suddenly said: "In that case, I will bid fifty thousand taels."
puff!
All the bosses complained.
fifty thousand!
Fifty thousand taels is an astronomical figure.
Could this man be crazy?
"Are you serious? Can you get so much money just by talking?"
Lin Wanjie was also shocked. The emperor was the emperor, and his actions were indeed extraordinary.
He never dreamed that a recipe for distilled liquor could be sold for so much money.
In his expectation, it would be enough to sell it for ten thousand taels.
After all, as long as you know the principle of this thing, it is very easy to copy.
