"I bought this from Zhang's shop last time, and I have never been willing to drink it." When he arrived at Steward Shi's room, he took a gourd from the wall, patted it and smiled at Ren Baqian.
"You saved the bear, and you saved me. I'll give you half of this good thing." Steward Shi said cheerfully.
Steward Shi is the steward here, and Ren Baqian estimated that he should have a lot of income, and he is not willing to drink this wine, so it should be good.
But after the wine was poured out, I was immediately disappointed. The wine was cloudy and had a bit of a weird taste to it.
"Don't look at the color as ugly, it's a special liquor from Yunguo! It's like being on fire with one sip."
Hearing what he said, Ren Baqian was even less interested.
He can get spirits from 40 degrees to 70 degrees, and alcohol is higher. Sure enough, you can't expect too much from winemaking in this world.
After clinking glasses with Steward Shi and taking a sip, Ren Baqian frowned, he had never had such a nasty drink when he grew up. Even the kind of loose baijiu that costs three or two yuan a catty is much better than this.
"Brother Ren, haven't you ever drank this bar before? I'm a big boy, and I like this kind of strong wine the most. It's delicious."
Hearing Steward Shi's boast, Ren Baqian asked curiously, "How much is this wine?"
"Two taels of silver per catty." Steward Shi stretched out his fingers and said, "If I wasn't really greedy for this wine, I wouldn't be willing to buy it. The three catties would cost me a month's salary."
Ren Baqian was a little speechless, six taels of silver was 300 grams, about 1,000 yuan. It's really a huge profit to be able to buy only three catties of this "bad wine".
And the wine is so bad, if I go back and get some Erguotou to sell, they won't have to snap it up? It's time to make crazy money.
Keep this matter in the bottom of your heart and make plans later. Ren Baqian drank and chatted with Steward Shi, but asked a lot about the world.
There are mainly four countries here, namely the Great Xia Dynasty, the Izumo Kingdom, the Chen Kingdom, and the Dayao Kingdom.
The country Ren Baqian lives in is Dayao Country, which was originally called Jiulan Country. It was founded only 70 years ago, and it was forcibly created by a group of mountain people. All the systems were formulated by learning from other countries.
I don't know the exact size of Dayao Country, and I don't know the number of Shi Guanshi. The population is about 30 million. There are many mountains and forests in China, but few plains. Most of the common people live by hunting in the mountains, and at least half of them are still living in the mountains and forests, with wild beasts every day.
Poverty, but it also caused Dayao Kingdom to be brave and good at fighting.
In the north of Dayao Kingdom is the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is said that there are three kingdoms in Dayao Kingdom. In the east is the country of Izumo, and in the southeast is the country of Chen.
It is said that there are still countries in the west of Daxia and the south of Chen State, but those old stones are not very clear.
Dayao Country is rich in furs, precious stones, gold, and silver. As for other things, it is much worse. Daily necessities, salt, beautiful clothes and cloth are almost entirely imported. Even food, the annual gap is not small, and it needs to be imported.
Therefore, a large number of businessmen from other countries came to seek gold. Among them, Yunguo is the most numerous, and the Zhangjia shop where Shi Guanshi buys wine belongs to Yunguo Zhang's.
"Those black-hearted thieves!" Speaking of those businessmen, Lao Zhang spat. "Sooner or later, hit their imperial city."
Those merchants always lowered the price of fur and gemstones, and then sold all kinds of low-quality products at high prices. Almost every year there are conflicts over these things.
The wine that Steward Shi drank was said to be much better in the country of Izumo, but they only sold it to Dayao. As for Dayao, he didn't even have enough to eat, let alone make wine. Although folks occasionally make some, the taste is even worse, and it is as light as white water.
Other things are similar, the ones sold to Dayao are all relatively poor. Dayao Kingdom has been dissatisfied with this for a long time. Because of this incident twenty years ago, coupled with the long-standing dissatisfaction, Dayao almost went to the imperial city of Yunguo. Later, Chen Guo sent troops to help Yunguo, and the Great Xia Dynasty mediated Only then did Dayao's army retreat with a full harvest.
After that, businessmen from various countries became more honest. It's irritating too, but not as much as it used to be. But as time passed, those businessmen also forgot the pain after their scars healed, and began to intensify again.
Steward Shi's greatest wish now is that one day His Majesty speaks and the fight starts again, and he will be the first to climb the city with his armor on.
When Ren Baqian heard this, he knew something.
To put it bluntly, the only advantage of Dayao Kingdom is that it can fight. The disadvantage is that there are no other advantages except being able to play. Starting from the emperor, from the bottom to the bottom is a single tendon, and there seems to be nothing else in his mind except fighting and killing.
All kinds of daily necessities are almost all bought from other merchants.
In view of Dayao's violent temper from top to bottom, other countries don't want to push Dayao into a hurry.
Sell you stuff, but sell you the worst. The good ones are all sold to their own countries, and as for the technology, that's even better.
After listening to Steward Shi's words, Ren Baqian laughed.
Does Dayao Kingdom lack anything? Just right, I know everything. Even if you don't know how to do it yourself, you can go back and learn. With the knowledge of a world as the backing, if you can't make a good living in this world, then it's really a waste of time.
It's best if you want something, go back and learn the technology and then come back to make it. You can't go back and buy it and bring it back like potassium nitrate this time.
Once or twice is okay, if there is too much, it will definitely cause trouble, and it is not good for products that are needed on a large scale such as wine. It was a great luck for the Empress not to pursue the matter of clothes and mattresses in depth.
As for the situation of the unicorn pulling the cart, and whether there is such a master who can move mountains and seas, Guanshi Shi is not clear either. But according to him, there are masters in this world, it is a bit exaggerated to break the city with one blow, but it is still possible to break the city gate with one blow.
But in Ren Baqian's ears, breaking the city gate with one blow is exaggerated enough. If you can learn it yourself, you can walk sideways when you return to Earth.
Steward Shi seemed to seldom drink strong alcohol, and he got down on the ground when he had less than half a catty of alcohol.
After he got down on the ground, Ren Baqian was only half drunk, sitting there thinking, laughing lowly from time to time.
Dayao is short of food, so it is impossible to make wine now.
There are many mountains and forests in the Dayao Shaoyuan Plain, and the grain production is insufficient. The earth happens to have a crop with a yield of 10,000 jin per mu.
In addition, salt can also think of a way by itself, go back and check the information to see if you can get salt in the mountains.
Other toothbrushes, soaps, etc. are even simpler.
As long as there is a suitable opportunity, get it out.
And cotton.
All things can be made by oneself.
Thinking of this, Ren Baqian felt relieved, it was great to come to such a world and a country.
In this world, it is really too easy to make money.
Similarly, some unique things in this world, such as black mud paste, can also make you no longer have to think about money on earth.
Thinking of this, Ren Baqian became even more excited.
After thinking about it for a while, Guanshi Shi had slipped under the table.
But the meal needs to be eaten at a bite, and the road needs to be walked step by step. It's better to stand firm in this world before talking about other things. Ren Baqian thought of this and got up to see how the cellar was being cleaned.
When we got there, a group of people were washing with water.
Seeing these ten people working hard, Ren Baqian was extremely satisfied. I went out drinking with Steward Shi right after I took office, and none of these ten people cheated or played tricks. Such a subordinate is really too worry-free.
