The news that the young emperor summoned the prince of Jiguo reached the ears of all the officials that night.

At the morning court session the next day, the officials were like clams, and no one showed up, for fear of setting off the powder keg of the young emperor!

The young emperor didn't find any excuse to lose his temper in the court, so after the court session, he returned to the harem in a rage!

Censor Jiang called Lord Chen and Lord Li to Jiang's residence for a drink: "Yesterday, Madam Su sent us a few jars of fruit wine produced in Yunzhou. Let's have a drink together!"

Lord Li smiled and said, "Madam Su also gave us some. Although this fruit wine is cheap, the gift is small but the sentiment is great!"

Mr. Chen followed them to Jiang's house with a smile on his face. He would not tell the two that the fruit wine tasted delicious! If you can get some from Censor Jiang, get some first!

As soon as they walked out of the palace gate, the three of them laughed silently.

This time, the young emperor ended up losing more than he gained!

Originally, General Gu Nanxi was stationed at the border and served as the governor of Yunzhou. Although she was appointed by the imperial court, her gender was more or less unstable!

This time, the young emperor directly conferred the title of nobility on Gu Nanxi. No matter what the starting point was, it cleared away the hidden obstacles for Gu Nanxi!

From now on, in terms of title, Gu Nanxi is no longer the wife of Marquis Yongcheng, but Marquis Zhongyi!

The reaction of General Gu Nanxi just reminded the young emperor and the eunuchs in the court that they had made a stupid move in order to laugh at the joke!

The result was that not only did they not see it as a joke, but it allowed the general to stay in Yunzhou more steadily and more legitimately!

The position of marquis is not like other official positions, where one can be stripped of it by simply finding a fault!

Especially when it comes to bestowing awards, His Majesty rewards based on military merit. How can such hard-earned honor be taken away so easily?

Censor Jiang was amazed: "She is worthy of being a great general. When we were overwhelmed by our emotions, she was able to remain calm!"

Lord Chen also sighed: "If it were me, I would probably resign from my post right on the spot and refuse to accept the title of Marquis of Loyalty!"

Lord Li nodded in agreement. The emperor's behavior was truly insulting.

If he had a bad temper, he would definitely resign.

Even if he did not resign, learning to complain a few words would give the young emperor a reason to take back the reward when he reacted.

The general's response was to firmly grasp the benefits in his hands and make the opponent angry to death! He is really a master!

The three of them arrived at Jiang's house. The lady had already prepared wine and food, and Jiang Guanghai sat with them.

Censor Jiang picked up the wine glass and first looked at the color of the wine in the glass. It was not turbid like ordinary fruit wine, but very clear. "General, do you want to use fruit wine to solve Yunzhou's financial crisis? I wonder how much this fruit wine costs."

Mr. Li is in charge of all kinds of purchasing knowledge, so he is naturally very familiar with the prices: "A pound of fruit wine is only three cents. The most expensive is Lingnan's lychee wine, which is three hundred cents per pound. However, there are not many lychees in Lingnan, and the journey is long, so it is normal for the price to be higher."

"Two hundred coins per pound."

"Huh?!" Censor Jiang paused with his hand holding the wine glass and looked at his son who had just spoken.

Jiang Guanghai: "I heard from Madam Su that one catty costs two hundred coins."

Lord Li jumped up and down: "Robbery! I'm afraid this can't be sold!"

Mr. Chen drank the cup without saying a word, and poured himself another cup: "If it's 200 coins per catty, I'm willing to pay for it."

Censor Jiang and Lord Li looked at Lord Chen together. Seeing that he did not explain at all and just drank by himself, they realized that this fruit wine was definitely not an ordinary fruit wine!

The censor took a sip and his eyes widened instantly. So that's it!

If this fruit wine is of such quality, it can indeed be sold for two hundred coins!

"Oh my God! This is actually jujube wine!" Lord Li was in a daze.

Years ago, the Yunzhou caravan had not yet brought the fruit wine, and the caravan from Kyoto to Yunzhou had not mentioned it either, which meant that the fruit wine had not been brewed at least before the New Year!

According to the general's character, if there really was such good fruit wine, she would definitely promote the fruit wine in advance and try to sell it at a higher price!

However, she didn't, which means that the fruit wine was made at the last minute!

"The general has recruited a capable person!"

Jiang Guanghai couldn't help but look at Lord Li with new eyes. He smiled and didn't expect that his brain was so flexible: "Uncle Li, you are right! It is said that this winemaking recipe was given to her by the general's fellow villager!"

"Nonsense! The general was born and raised in Kyoto. If there is such a great winemaker in Kyoto, it is impossible that no news would spread! This must be a deliberate trick by the general to protect this person!"

There are still many people who are curious about Fang Yinnian’s identity!

In Kyoto, at the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, Su Yunyan planned to open a wine shop on the commercial street, specializing in selling Yunzhou's fruit wine, and the Baiwei Restaurant could also sell some of it as well.

"Yizu, please drink less alcohol and don't be too greedy."

Su Yunyan looked at Cui Sanlun, who kept drinking one sip after another, and couldn't help frowning.

Cui Sanlun, however, was like a child. He secretly hid a small jar while Su Yunyan was not paying attention. It was accidentally discovered by Su Xuanming who was standing next to him. He glared at Su Xuanming and signaled him not to say a word.

Su Xuanming smiled helplessly and said, "I am doing this for your own good, my lord. Your cough has just gotten better, and the doctor said you are not allowed to drink any more."

Cui Sanlun didn't want to listen to the brother and sister's preaching, so he changed the subject: "Did your mother say in the letter who could make this fruit wine?"

Su Yunyan: "I didn't mention this. But I heard the prince of Jiguo mentioned it, saying that she was my mother's fellow villager."

"Puff!" Cui Sanlun said angrily, "Your family has eight hundred tricks, and they are all on your mother! Xiao Yunyan, be careful that your mother sells you out, and you still count money for her!"

Su Yunyan didn't believe it at all: "My mother loves me the most, she would never sell me to anyone else."

Cui Sanlun winked at the servant standing beside him and asked him to move the remaining fruit wine to his yard: "Your second mother is repairing the official road in Yunzhou. I think she is very short of money. Yunyan, this fruit wine depends on you!"

"Don't worry!" Su Yunyan had already figured out how to run the fruit wine. If she relied solely on her own caravan, she would definitely not be able to sell it to other parts of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, Su Yunyan planned to combine the fruit wine factory with the Baida Express that she was planning to build, so as to reduce some logistics costs.

In addition, Su Yunyan plans to find agents in various states and counties. She can sell the fruit wine to the agents at a low price, and let the agents be responsible for sales in the region.

Although this will make you earn less money, it will help you expand the market as quickly as possible.

The key to Yunzhou fruit wine is how to make the originally turbid wine clear and not bitter. Although this technology is currently firmly in the hands of A Niang, what if something goes wrong?

Money can move people's hearts, and no one knows what dirty tricks the opponent will use!

What Su Yunyan did was to prepare for this eventuality!

Even if the opponent obtains this technology, most of the market has already been occupied by Su Yunyan. It will definitely take several years for the opponent to regain these markets!

In the past few years, the money Su Yunyan earned from fruit wine should be enough for A-niang to use!

As soon as the news that Su Yunyan was going to find an agent got out, the threshold of Yongchang Marquis Mansion was about to be broken.

Munir also visited the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion again: "Madam Su, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are becoming more and more radiant and charming!"

Su Yunyan asked the servants to serve tea: "It turns out that it is Shopkeeper Mu who is here. I am still the same as before. Maybe it is because you haven't visited our Yongchang Marquis Mansion for a long time, so you think I have changed a lot."

Munir seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Su Yunyan's words, and his face was wrinkled with laughter.

The climate and soil of Kyoto are good for health. Munir gained weight and even his belly bulged after just a few years in Kyoto.

"Madam Su, I gave myself a Chinese surname, Pu. You can call me Pu Lang from now on. I sincerely admire our Great Zhou. All my sons also have the surname Pu."

When Su Yunyan heard this, she just smiled faintly.

Munir was showing off to himself, he had strong connections in Kyoto.

After all, it is easy for foreigners to come to Kyoto to do business, but it is very difficult to settle down in Kyoto and obtain household registration in the Central Plains!

Su Yunyan didn't care whether Munir wanted to be named Mu or Pu. "Manager Pu, are you here at the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion just for this?"

Munir was full of energy: "Back then, I had a pleasant cooperation with the Marquis of Loyalty. I was able to gain a foothold in Kyoto with the help of the Dashi Commercial Street, and the Marquis of Loyalty also gained a large number of high-value shops. Madam Su, I dare not say anything else, but I can guarantee that no one is more familiar with the road from Kyoto to Yunzhou than me! I heard that Madam Su is recruiting fruit wine agents, why don't you give me the two counties of Hezhong and Henan?"

Su Yunyan will definitely not give the four counties of Shuozhou, Hezhong, Henan and Xiangzhou to outsiders!

Xiangzhou will be given to the ninth brother, Song Zhizhou.

Mr. Li has also been using his connections to try to get the three Li Mingdes to Shuozhou. The third brother has the status of a juren, so in the more remote Shuozhou, he should be able to become a county magistrate.

As for Hezhong Henan, there are also other senior brothers from Baichuan Academy.

Munir is a man of sweet words but a sharp tongue. He is not trustworthy and must not be arranged between Yunzhou and Kyoto, lest he delay A Niang's important plans!

In a flash, Su Yunyan made a decision: "Manager Pu, you came a step late. There are already people in these two counties."

Munir looked unhappy: "Who else is more suitable here than me?"

"A gentleman's promise is as heavy as Mount Tai. Although I am a woman, I understand this truth. So I can only disappoint Shopkeeper Pu."

Seeing Su Yunyan's firm attitude, Munir turned away.

Munir was not the only one who was rejected by Su Yunyan. When Su Yunyan selected an agent, she not only examined the agent's background and ability, but also considered his political stance.

Not to mention completely side with Gu Nanxi, but at least he can't hold A Niang back!

Among those who were rejected were local wealthy families and high-ranking families in Kyoto, and they cursed Su Yunyan behind her back.

"She's just a girl in her teens, holding a feather duster as a token of authority! She doesn't take us uncles seriously at all."

"When someone teases her and calls her Shopkeeper Su, she really thinks she is the shopkeeper! Gu Nanxi doesn't raise her as a daughter, he raises her as a housekeeper, but she is not ashamed of it, but proud of it!"

"Girls of her age are all engaged, but she's still running around all day like a wild monkey! I wonder which family would be willing to marry a girl like her!"

"In the future, his elder brother will inherit the Yongchang Marquisate, and his second brother will inherit the title of Loyalty Marquis. But she will get nothing. Maybe she can only be an old maid for the rest of her life!"

Su Yunyan heard some rumors, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she just smiled it off.

The more these people curse, the more it proves that fruit wine has great potential for making money!

The long queues in front of Baiwei Restaurant and fruit wine shop are enough to explain it all!

The quality of Yunzhou's fruit wine is obvious to all, and everyone who has tasted it says it is good.

There were long queues outside Baiwei Restaurant, all of them were here to buy fruit wine!

Even the already popular Baiwei Restaurant was packed with people. There was no room at all unless you made a reservation three to five days in advance.

After all, when you dine in Baiwei Restaurant, you can not only drink fruit wine, but also order a few jars of fruit wine to take away.

Since you have to wait to buy fruit wine anyway, you might as well sit in the restaurant and eat while waiting! If you buy a lot of wine, those Yunzhou people will ride their strange tricycles to deliver the wine to the customer's home.

These tricycles are quite interesting, but unfortunately no one in Kyoto can imitate them. I wonder if the Yunzhou caravan will sell these tricycles when they leave Kyoto?

The Baiwei Restaurant and the fruit wine shop are doing a booming business, making many people in Kyoto envious with their eyes bloodshot!

Even the young emperor felt extremely unhappy when he heard this, because with such a prosperous business, Kyoto could not collect much tax!

"Go check out how Yunzhou's fruit wine is made!"

This matter certainly cannot be found out from Su Xuanming, Su Yunyan and those Yunzhou people, so the only person who might know the situation is the Prince of Jiguogong!

As a result, the Prince of Jiguo became the most popular person in the social circle, and the number of banquet invitations he received in one day was as many as the number he received in the previous year!

The Prince of Jiguo was flattered by everyone and felt a little flattered: "You are asking about the person who gave the recipe? I don't know his situation either. I only know that his name is Fang Yinnian, from Shuozhou, and he came from Shuozhou to Gu Nanxi. Gu Nanxi protected him very well and he never left the winery!"

Everyone present looked at each other and raised the corners of their lips.

Once you know your name and where you are from, everything else will be easy!

Anyone with some business experience can see how huge the profits are in this fruit wine business!

And the key to making money lies in a man called Fang Yinnian!

They just couldn't believe it. Compared to the shabby Yunzhou, Fang Yinnian would not want to experience the prosperous Kyoto? !

Gu Nanxi, the owner of the shabby Yunzhou, has been living a wonderful life recently!

As jars of wine were transported out of Yunzhou, baskets of copper coins came back!

If GDP could be calculated, Yunzhou's GDP growth rate this year would definitely exceed 10%!

"Sir, Mr. Fang said he wants to find a few blacksmiths to help him make a few things."

Gu Nanxi waved his hand and said, "Give it to him!"

"Sir, Mr. Fang said he wanted to find some flower petals."

Gu Nanxi touched his chin. Spring in the north comes later than in the south, so the flowers haven’t bloomed yet. “Move all the flowers in my greenhouse to him!”

Lumei: "Master, isn't this your sweetheart?"

"To Mr. Fang!"

Lumei understood, this is the difference between the big baby and the little baby!
