Unparalleled Concubine

Of course, the premise of such a large profit is that it must be monopolized, and it must be monopolized violently by using the state machine, and no civil society is allowed to intervene. Otherwise, even if this income can be achieved in a short period of time, after three to five years, this recipe will inevitably spread. At that time, profits will be greatly reduced.

His Royal Highness King Wei suddenly looked serious.

His hands were shaking a little.

What is the concept of [-]% of the treasury's income?This means that he can develop his power unscrupulously in secret. After all, there are not many places in this world where money can't get through.

After all, the imperial court is a big stall, and there are too many places that need money, such as disaster relief, sounding, officials' salaries, and several armies to support. In comparison, the Wei Palace is just a small stall. Income, Wei Palace will have unlimited potential in the future.

Ji Wen took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm down. He took a deep look at Li Xin.

"Xin... Brother Xin is not talking nonsense?"

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, the premise is to ensure that we monopolize this business. If we share the profits with others, the profit will be greatly reduced. However, as long as Your Highness keeps the secrecy well, at least within ten or eight years, It’s no problem earning that much.”

There are too many breweries in the world. The imperial court can impose a ban on the monopoly of the salt and iron industry, but the brewing industry is not realistic. After all, the raw materials for this thing can be found everywhere, and any small workshop can brew it. It is impossible for the imperial court to specialize. An imperial edict stipulated that only Wei Wangfu could sell distilled alcohol.

The Seventh Prince looked at the sketch that Li Xin handed over again, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xin, what exactly is this?"

"The brewing thing."

Li Xin smiled and said: "This thing was passed to me by an old Taoist priest when he passed by Yongzhou a few years ago. The old Taoist said that the wine that passed through this thing is more than ordinary in terms of fineness, purity, and potency. The wine is more than three or four times stronger."

Speaking of this, Li Xin bowed his head and said: "After the wine is released, His Highness can put it in the Deyi Building first, and the wine will be famous in the capital for a month at most."

"When the time comes, it's time for Your Highness to earn money."

The Seventh Prince was a little disappointed when he heard the word "wine making", but after hearing what Li Xin said, he nodded slowly: "If this thing is really as magical as Brother Xin said, it is indeed a good way to gather money. trade."

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Your Highness will know if it works or not."

Ji Wen nodded: "I'll go to the Ministry of Industry later, and send a few craftsmen back to the palace. First, I'll make a set of finished products and try them out."

Speaking of this, His Royal Highness Wei Wang sighed: "It's a pity, even if what Brother Xin said is true, it is impossible for the imperial court to let me monopolize the wine business."

For this, Li Xin had already had an idea.

He was in the marketing of high-end liquor in his previous life, and he is the most familiar with this set. In a short period of time, his family is the only one in the capital that has distilled liquor. The money bags of those rich people in the capital.

Li Xin smiled slightly: "Your Highness, it has been agreed in advance that I will share in this deal, whether it is successful or not."

His Royal Highness King Wei smiled heartily.

"Brother Xin was responsible for this matter, so naturally I will share half of it with you."

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Two achievements are enough for me."

The interests involved in this matter are too great, and we must be cautious. If Li Xinzhen splits half of it, I am afraid that he will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Wei Palace in a short time.

This is a measure that must be grasped.

Chapter 104 Love

Li Xin is just taking the lead in the matter of selling wine, and he is not going to get involved too much, because this matter can be operated in the whole process with the ability of Wei Wangfu. At most, Li Xin will bring up some ideas for making "famous brands" in the follow-up.

Besides, Li Xin has an official status now, but he is actually the captain of Habayashi Wei, and if he is involved in business affairs, it will make people laugh.

Anyway, as long as the Seventh Prince mentions something, there will naturally be countless people working for him.

After staying in the Wei Palace for a while, Li Xin got up to say goodbye, cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, when these things are finished, send someone to call me at the Princess Mansion. After the new wine is steamed, let's discuss in detail how to do it." operate."

The biggest use of spirits is not to drink. High-alcohol liquor can be used as a disinfectant. Disinfection technology in this era is extremely shallow. It is unknown how many people die of wound infections every year. The Jin military also has medical clinics in various places, which can bring in a considerable amount of income.

Li Xin was in the business of luxury wine in his previous life, so he was able to handle these things easily.

But this is something for later, everything has to wait for things to be made before they can be operated in detail.

The Seventh Prince squinted his eyes at Li Xin, and sighed with emotion: "In the past, I only knew that I should fight for that position. As for how to fight for it, I didn't have any ideas in mind. Now that I have Brother Xin, I will Suddenly, my heart felt a lot more at ease.”

Li Xin smiled indifferently: "Your Highness has praised you. Your Highness is a talent of Yao and Shun. Even if there is no one, it will only be a matter of time before he ascends the throne."

This kind of flattery that should be patted still needs to be patted, and it can't be really big or small, otherwise the prince will really sit on the throne of God in the future, but he won't have the good fruit of Li Xin.

In history, there are so many ministers who died because of the emperor's narrow-mindedness.

The Seventh Prince smiled, he was noncommittal to such a blunt horse like Li Xin, he squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, the two Nanshu women that Brother Xin gave to me..."

Li Xin looked up at the Seventh Prince, and said calmly, "Has Your Highness made progress with them?"

"The progress is not very great. I thought they were still useful, so it's not easy to damage them."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang squinted his eyes and said: "These days, I locked them in a yard on Xishi Street and sent people to interrogate them several times, but I didn't find any particularly useful information, only the royal family name of Li Ni. Li's name is Jin'er, and the other woman's name is Mu Mingxin."

Jin'er...should be the real name of that little princess.

During this period of time, Li Xin read a lot of books of this era and learned about the situation in Southern Shu.

Nanshu is not actually called Nanshu. Their country name is Han, also known as Nanhan or Chenghan.

After Li Shi, the last emperor of Cheng Han Dynasty, was killed, Li Shi's son Min Wang Li Mo escaped. This Min Wang later gave birth to two sons and a daughter, all of which have meaningful names.

The eldest son, Li Xing, and the second son, Li Fu, meant to revive the Han Dynasty, and the name of this little princess was Jin'er because the capital of Southern Shu was called Jincheng.

From this point of view, the Min Wang Li Mo, who took the initiative to sacrifice himself and forcibly "raised" Pingnan Hou Li Shen to the position of Zhu Guo's general, has always missed the people of his hometown all his life.

It's a pity that the 30 Pingnan Army suppressed southern Xinjiang for [-] years, shattering all the conjectures of King Min of Nanshu.

After a pause, the Seventh Prince continued: "Moreover, there seem to be more people from Bashu in the capital recently. The remnants of southern Xinjiang are probably looking for this Li Ni royal family."

"If we continue to delay and find the Li Ni royal family for them, the matter may implicate us."

Li Xin could call Li Jin'er the little princess, but Ji Wen couldn't. He belonged to the royal family of the Jin Dynasty. To him, Li Jin'er could only be the remnant of Li Ni, not a princess.

Li Xin was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the Seventh Prince, and said in a deep voice, "What does your Highness mean, how should we deal with this matter?"

"In my opinion, it's fine to kill these two women, and it's a troublesome thing to keep them."

In the process of seizing the heir, the most taboo thing is to be labeled as a "rebel". Therefore, for the Seventh Prince, these two remnants of Southern Xinjiang are also hot potatoes, because once it is discovered that he has contact with the remnants of Nanshu , others can take advantage of the opportunity to join him in colluding with the rebels.

It was for this reason that after the two women were locked up in West Market Street, Ji Wen only visited them once, and never dared to go a second time.

But after discovering that these two people were useless, he wanted to get rid of these two useless troublesome women.

Li Xin was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Can Your Highness entrust these two women to me?"

Judging from the current situation, there are not many people left in the Nanshu royal family, and there may even be only Li Xing alone. Therefore, this little princess of Nanshu is an extremely key figure.

The foundation of the Pingnanhou Mansion is in southern Xinjiang. If you want to deal with the Pingnanhou Mansion, you must first destroy their foundation in southern Xinjiang.
