"What Chang'an Jun did in Linzi has been spread. Whether it was the wonderful rebuttal in Jixia Academy, the curse of the corrupt scholar Teng Geng's reassurance, or the Yingrui who went to trouble for the country and fulfilled his mission, it now seems that Buwei has to praise him repeatedly, and he wished he could get to know Chang'an Jun earlier. There is no ads on the phone. It saves the most traffic."

Lu Buwei is worthy of being a long-lasting businessman. For a moment, he kept talking praise and speeches, saying it from his mouth that he seemed to have a honey. This person really came here today.

"Of course, Buwei has heard of the soju wine made by Chang'an Jun during Linzi. He also asked a friend of Qi to help me get some. After tasting it, his mouth was spicy but his heart was extremely sweet. Unfortunately, such a strong wine became a terrible sound. Chang'an Jun had no intention of recreating it after returning to China. Buwei regretted that he also had a heartless request. I hope that Chang'an Jun could tell the villain the secret recipe of this strong wine. The villain would definitely use the materials in his hands to make the shoju wine popular in Zhao!"

He stretched out his finger: "How about the profit you gained? You and Buwei Sanqi are divided into three or seven?"

There is a reason why Lu Buwei was interested in wine. The Zhao State's favorite wine style is no less than that of Qi State. In this regard, their founding king Zhao Wuxiuke set an example. It is said that this monarch once drank for five days and five consecutive days, and was only two days away from reaching the record of King Zhou of Shang.

Under the leadership of the upper class, in the past two hundred years, wine has penetrated into various fields of Zhao society and became a common drink used in people's communication and daily life, including weddings and funerals, having boys and children, gatherings of relatives and friends, festival celebrations, worshiping heaven and ancestors, etc., wine is all essential. Due to the high demand for wine, the brewing industry has further developed, and the style of creating wine and drinking has reached its climax.

In Handan, wine is a profitable industry that can be compared with pearls and jade. For every 1,000 stone of wine produced, you can make at least 100,000 yuan in profits. The income is a huge amount, which is also the reason why governments in all dynasties wanted to engage in "wine franchise" after the Warring States Period.

In addition, the people of Zhao liked liquor, and they were known as "Zhao wine was thick but Lu wine was thin". Therefore, liquor had a market in Zhao. Lu Buwei was able to find out about Linzi, which means that he was indeed well-informed and could see the benefits clearly. This means that he had a sharp vision and was definitely not comparable to ordinary merchants.

Mingyue had an abacus in her heart, but was unmoved and asked, "Is this the so-called 'a hundred times the profit' gift of the gentleman?"

His face darkened: "Sir, this is not giving me a gift, this is a proof of the stolen goods, it is to harm me!"

Lu Buwei couldn't help but feel moved: "Why did Chang'an say this?"

"Making wine requires a lot of food. Now it is the wartime period, and the military rations on the front line are still insufficient. At this time, I brew wine and encourage people to drink only for profit. If someone is sued for the king, wouldn't I be scolded by the king and the queen mother?"

Mingyue smiled and said, "Confucius said that wealth and honor are what people want. If they do not get it by their own way, they will not be able to live in it. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Although my Chang'an Jun Mansion is not rich, he is not short of that little money for wine..."

"It turns out that Chang'an Jun is worried about this."

Lu Buwei seemed to be relieved and explained bitterly: "This is why the villain asked Chang'an Jun not to come forward by himself, but asked me to make wine and sell wine. Chang'an Jun should know that Guo Zong of the East City of Handan was dismissed? Guo Zong's ancestor was Dongguo of Jinyang. He started to be the iron official of Zhao's clan since Zhao Jianzi. Now he is still the largest iron merchant in Handan. His wealth is comparable to a king. Guo's industries are also spread throughout Zhao. But Chang'an Jun knows that many of these industries are just under Guo Zong, but they actually belong to the generals and ministers of Zhao."

"This noble and rich people cooperate with each other and protect each other is common in the world. It has benefits. If the Lord of Chang'an can get real benefits, if something happens, the government of Zhao will blame the villain, and you don't have to be implicated, why not do it?"

"I don't care about other lords and ministers." Mingyue still didn't let go and shook her head and said, "I am a human being. Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. This strong wine cannot be sold in Handan or in Zhao State!"

"Don't rabbits eat grass beside their nests?"

What a smart person, Lu Buwei, immediately heard the meaning of Mingyue's words, and couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "What if it were sold by other princes outside Zhao?"

Mingyue's eyes closed slightly: "Sir, too, said that the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Since it is profitable to sell wine, border smuggling is rampant, and the pass is difficult to access, it is nothing to do with me."

Although Lu Buwei was not concerned about Chang'an Jun's practice of not using alcohol to harm his country, he was still calm after receiving his verbal permission, so he asked tentatively: "Young Master thinks, what about Yan State? The Yan people are generous and sad, and like the Zhao people. In addition, the Yan land is bitter and cold. When they see the strong wine, they must be like an ant to scent!"

He actually used the same metaphor as Gongsun Long. Mingyue was sighing that Lu Buwei had a market vision, but shook her head and said, "Although Yan State is good, it is at most ten times the profit. If you want to make a hundred times the profit, you still have to find another place..."

Lu Buwei felt a little dizzy and leaned closer and said, "I don't know where the so-called 'other place' is?"

Mingyue looked at him and showed a white teeth as she smiled: "If it is sold to Qin, will Mr. Lu dare!?"

...

"This Lu Buwei is really a big deal."

After Lu Buwei left, Mingyue asked someone to lift the gold and jade he offered. The gold was a very good quality Lishui gold, and that jade was also a good Kunshan jade. As for the five beauties, they were also good in both voice and color. It just so happened that Mingyue's mansion had not yet raised a singer, so she left it. However, thinking of the historical rumors that Lu Buwei asked Qin Yiren to take over, Mingyue lost interest in them, and he did not have the hobby of being a father.

"It's not like someone called Zhao Ji here." He secretly laughed so much, but what he thought of was the concubine daughter of Pingyang Jun Mansion. At least now, Mingyue could not connect Zhao Ji with Lu Buwei at all. Perhaps it was really just a coincidence.

"Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei, you came to win me over today and wanted to ask me to sell wine for profit. Is it really just the market vision of the merchant? Or is there any other purpose?"

Mingyue accepted Lu Buwei's gift without hesitation, and he also agreed verbally to Lu Buwei's invitation request, but the recipe of the soju wine is still only mastered by a few people in Chang'an Jun Mansion, and they are constantly trying to make the process more mature and taste better. If they do not understand the entire distillation process, Lu Buwei will not be able to make it even if he tried it out.

Since others have something to ask for, Mingyue is not in a hurry. He does need Lu Buwei's business path and business network, but he can kick Lu Buwei away at any time, work alone, or find a more reliable business partner.

After all, Mingyue still couldn't understand Lu Buwei. Although what he showed today was all about a merciless and utilitarian businessman, as long as he thought of his eyes that were like jackals and his thick strokes in history, Mingyue would not dare to underestimate him, and would not imagine that his "dominant spirit" had made the future Qin Zhongfu bow down and surrender...

I subdue him in a few words. I dare not think about it. Be careful and don’t be sold by him and count the money for him.

"Lu Buwei, I'm afraid that your ambition is no less than mine!" Looking at the place where Lu Buwei sat, Mingyue fell into deep thought.

...

On the other side, after bent and smiled, after saying goodbye to the people who sent him out of Chang'an Jun Mansion, Lu Buwei got into his carriage.

His master was a deaf man with his ears. Lu Buwei patted him gently on his back, and then he waved his whip and drove away from here.

As soon as the car started, the merchant who had been very wise and respectful to Chang'an Jun changed his appearance. His waist straightened, leaned back comfortably on his seat, and said softly:

"Qin State? Chang'an Jun, you are trapped in Handan, but you still have a national mind. You see that Qin State has gone, and you have a great ambition!"

Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard on his lips, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
