334: Mixing wine with water [two in one]

Shen Tang looked at Xu Jie suspiciously, waiting for the answer.

Xu Jie looked at her with a subtle expression, only writing the words "Shen Jun asked knowingly?" written on his face.

Shen Tang: "???"

She didn't set up an spy for Xu Jie to monitor him.

Why did I "ask questions even though I know it"?

Xu Jie saw that the confusion in Shen Tang's eyes was not fake, and the muscles on his face twitched strangely and stiffly a few times, and he said unnaturally: "Ahem, cough, cough, because Shangnan and Yiru have very strict control over alcohol, so no permission is allowed. Sales are not allowed, and you cannot use normal ways to enter these two places, so...well, you will inevitably have to use some special means to avoid..."

Shen Tang was confused when he heard this.

"Special means of evasion? Could it be a private trafficker?"

The so-called "smuggling" is smuggling.

According to Xu Jie's explanation, the liquor business rights in Shangnan and Yiru are strictly controlled, and it is difficult for private merchants to obtain them. If they want to enter this market, they can only smuggle illegally. But smuggling will not involve smuggling fifty altars. It makes two hundred altars.

Xu Jie answered the wrong question.

"It's a private dealer."

It also saves on high city taxes and liquor taxes.

"How come fifty jars are smuggled into 200 jars? The big jars are changed into small jars? This makes it easier for smugglers to sneak into the two places by breaking them into pieces, and it is not easy to be discovered..." She said, and she was not so angry. "It's been a hard work all the way."

Xu Jie: "..."

Lord, your "Tangdi acquaintance" robbed you of your words!

He forced himself to ignore the urge to complain.

Gan laughed: "It's not just about changing the size of the wine jar."

Shen Tang: "???"

This is a lot of information!

Good guy, she calls herself a "profiteer", but her feelings are still too naive! The expansion of the fifty jars to two hundred jars not only changed the size of the wine jar, but also added water to it? Bah! This is really water. It's mixed with alcohol...

While sighing, Shen Tang's smile froze.

Xu Jie bit the bullet and used his brain.

Trying to make amends for his master and himself.

"Shen Jun, don't be angry. My Lord has done this after careful consideration. It is actually for the sake of the overall situation. Shen Jun, please think that the effect of the spiritual wine you brewed by yourself is too obvious. Once it is sold to places other than Tianhai and Heyin, it will definitely Attracting countless overt or covert coveters. But appropriately weakening the effectiveness of the spirit wine will be beneficial and harmless to both Lord Shen and our Lord..."

This is not because he is a profiteer.

The idea came from your "Tangdi acquaintance".

Xu Wenzhu has nothing to do with him.

He does business in a serious and orderly manner, and he never deliberately seeks out "reasonable tax avoidance" to cause trouble for those in power.

Speaking of this, the conversation that day came to mind.

Xu Jie was shocked: [Go, add water to the wine?]

Wu Xian read a book on his own, leisurely turned a page, and asked with a smile: "What else? How much money can be made from just fifty jars of wine? This is like the water splashing when a pebble is thrown across the river. How big can the flowers be? Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing probably didn’t notice this. In the wine business, isn’t it always a mixture of 70% wine and 30% water?】

Xu Jie's expression was hard to explain, and he whispered: [How can others not know, but Jie has never done this before...]

Wu Xian smiled and said bluntly: "It's not like I'm asking you to sell wine mixed with water in Tianhai, but in Shangnan and Yiru. Besides, making wine consumes food, so you won't be able to sell wine mixed with water in two more jars." Just save two jars of grain? Even if it is mixed with water, the taste is just a little lighter, the effect is weakened, and people can’t taste the good or bad. What does the text commentator think? 】

Xu Jie:【……】

He just wanted to ask if this could be heard in broad daylight?

Why do the lord and Shen Jun, two leaders of large and small forces, always want to instill in him "Guidelines for cultivating profiteers"? One teaches him how to avoid taxes reasonably, and the other teaches him how to commit fraud... Xu Jie believes that they are Tang Di Got acquainted.

Completely half-brothers!

Xu Jie: [But on Jun Shen’s side...]

Doesn’t this ruin the brand of spiritual wine?

Wu Xian chuckled - it's not shameful to make a fortune in silence! Shen Tang's spirit wine sign was really dared to be displayed openly and openly. The sign was shown in the morning, the enemy came at noon, and the people were buried in the evening.

Xu Jie couldn't resist his lord's determination to harvest millet Yi and Zhang Yongqing's leeks, and finally entered the black liquor market in both places with the "medium version of spirit wine" mixed with water. However, Xu Jie didn't know about these wines. After the second dealer changes hands, a "low-end version of spiritual wine" will be derived.

In short, it is to dilute Qisan again on the basis of dilution of Qisan_(:з)∠?)_

As for reasonable tax avoidance...

Xu Jie also made it clear to Wu Xian.

I just didn't tell him Shen Tang's divisive remarks about "it's better for others to have it than for me" and "if you don't stock guns, your home is a granary; if you don't stock guns, everything is a granary". What should I say? It shouldn't be said, but Xu Jie was very clear-minded.

Once said, Xu Jie can guarantee that he will always stand on Wu Xian's side, but will Wu Xian always believe it?

This kind of trust test can be done as little as possible.

Wu Xian listened with great interest, and was even so shocked that he almost couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. He slapped the table and shouted the word "wonderful". He wished he could make Shen Tang, who had come up with such a tricky tax avoidance method, a confidant. If this guy were a businessman, he might be able to He will be revered as the Patriarch in future generations!

Xu Jie:【……】

He felt that his master was really abnormal.

Wu Xian also realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly showed his serious face, saying in a deep voice: [Shen Youli made this request because he went too far last time and caused dissatisfaction. I will settle the settlement this time and give him more benefits, lightly. I lightly exposed this matter.]

Apologize while drinking, just pretend that nothing happened.

Wu Xian's eyes wandered around with a guilty conscience.

I also felt that I went too far last time when I tricked Shen Tang. The old cows that had passed their prime years and the replacement farm tools were packed up and the inventory was cleared. Fortunately, the seedlings and grains were not mixed with water, otherwise Shen Tang would be angry and lift the table. The sword came to kill him.

Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

I am glad that I will have an explanation for Shen Tang next time I see him again.

otherwise--

He probably entered Fugu vertically and came out horizontally.

Xu Jie came back to his senses from the memories.

Shen Tang is still shocked by Wu Xian's sexy behavior.

He said bluntly: [It would be a pity that Brother Zhaode does not go into business.]

What a good seedling of a profiteer.

The counterfeiting and adulteration are so justified.

What else can Xu Jie do?

Naturally, it’s embarrassing to accompany the laughter.

Who let him choose his own lord?

At the same time, the "low-mixed version of spiritual wine" diluted twice with 73 was also quietly spread in Shangnan and Yiru. The second-level dealers were also smart, holding the supply of goods tightly in their hands, and shipped out bit by bit. Made a lot of money.

He smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth reached his earlobes.

The lowest price for a jar of wine is fifty taels.

This is it, and it’s hard to find one.

Although wine control is strict in Shangnan and Yiru, and there are very few wine shops with business licenses, the market is too big for these wine shops to absorb. In addition, the two places are under the management of Gu Ren and Zhang He , people's livelihood is relatively stable and prosperous, and wine is not a "luxury" that cannot be afforded. As long as there is a market and profits are made, there will definitely be people who take risks.

This law applies at all times.

Smuggling is also serious in both places.

The protective umbrella of smugglers is the local famous and well-connected families. If you say hello secretly, these guys with constant interests will turn a blind eye and cover each other to make some "extra money", hello. Hello everyone.

Gu Ren knew that the "low-mix version of spiritual wine" was a banquet after a long time, and at that time he still thought the wine tasted good.

_(:з)∠?)_

"Ji Shou, I just don't understand. Isn't Wu Zhaode afraid of getting angry and being exposed and beaten?" After Xu Jie left, Shen Tang thought about it and felt that he couldn't worry about this alone, so he had to grab someone to talk to him. "share".

Kang Shi was indeed a little surprised when he heard Wu Xian's profiteer behavior. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew why.

The wines of today are not very strong in taste, and even the daughter of a boudoir who is not a good drinker can drink a few bottles.

But the wine that Shen Tang made with Yan Ling was different.

The wine has a strong aroma and mellow taste.

It is not easy to find even if it is mixed with water.

This is probably the source of Wu Xian’s confidence in cheating.

The corners of Shen Tang's mouth twitched: "..."

Sure enough, I am not cunning enough!

"Should we also enter the two markets?"

Shen Tang learned from the pain.

Kang Shi: "...what do you mean, lord?"

Shen Tang gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "We are not the leeks in Wu Zhaode's yard, letting others cut them how they want. Why should Wu Zhaode, a black-hearted profiteer, get the bulk of our shipments? No, we must rise up and resist!"

Say no to Wu Zhaode’s tyranny!

Kang Shi frowned: "Isn't this exposed?"

Shen Tang hated the iron and said: "Who said we should use our own banner? Who would be stupid enough to use real names to commit crimes as a smuggler? Isn't this a disco in the minefield of Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing? We can do it in a roundabout way and be tactful. Come on!"

Kang Shi asked Shen Tang directly for the answer.

“How to be roundabout and tactful?”

After all, he is not a profiteer.

He couldn't keep up with his master's pace.

Shen Tang said loudly: "Shanzhai!"

Kang Shi was confused: "Copycat?"

Shen Tang added: "OEM can also be used!"

Kangshi: "OEM?"

These two are all unfamiliar words.

For the strange and confusing words that pop up from his master's mouth from time to time, he will always label them as "the slang of the master's hometown dialect". He does not need to investigate the origin of these words, he only needs to know what they mean.

Shen Tang patiently explained to him: "That's right! Xu Wenzhu has already opened the market in Shangnan, Yi and Ru. The supply of spiritual wine must be in short supply. We only need to follow him and smuggle the water mixed with wine secretly. Go in and pretend to be the source of the goods in Xu Jie's hands, or simply pretend to be a member of Xu Wenzhu's family. This batch of goods was secretly stolen by us behind Xu Wenzhu's back..."

She is not greedy either.

They don't sell Xu Wen's Notes at such a high price.

If you are eager to get rid of it, half of it is fine.

Shen Tang: "If this road doesn't work, let's say that this wine was smuggled from other countries. The effect is similar to that of spiritual wine. It can be regarded as a substitute for spiritual wine. It is high-quality and cheap. Although the effect is not as good as others, it is better. Cheap and large quantity!”

She patted Kang Shi on the shoulder.

Smiling treacherously.

Kangshi: "...This method...is very good, very good."

The lord also complained to him that Wu Zhaode was a profiteer.

She herself is no less generous!

Shen Tang also lamented: "People always have to be forced to realize that they have such potential in business, hey--"

She and Wu Zhaode probably clicked on the wrong skill points.

Shen Tang is a hot-tempered person who does what he says.

I am afraid that I will lose money if I am too late.

Alas, there is no way, I am afraid of being poor.

Shen Tang was very interested in studying how to mix wine into water and what proportion would prevent the enemy from tasting it - but Gong Shuwu, who was trying the wine, drank a lot of water.

When Shen Tang of Heyin Fugu came up with an idea, the wine market in Shangnan and Yiru began to boom.

_(:з)∠?)_

Time flies and another twenty days pass.

The weather has also begun to gradually warm up.

The warm spring breeze blows on the face, and new leaves sprout on the treetops.

The clothes of the common people working on the construction site are no longer bulky.

After a winter day, the numbness and dullness of the past are rarely seen on the face. Instead, there is a smile from the heart, and the expectation for the future surges in the eyes.

It was on such an ordinary day that Bai Su, who was always low-key and ordinary, made a breakthrough!

Yes, he has gathered courage.

And she wasn't even the one to discover this.

On this day, Bai Su got up early as usual to warm up for sword dancing.

From the darkest day to the brightest day.

I practiced until my whole body was hot and my arms were sore before I stopped.

She is used to practicing in secluded places. A quiet environment can make her more focused, but today it is slightly different. An unexpected person has come to the wasteland where she has always been alone.

When Bai Su saw this person, he sheathed his sword and cupped his fists.

"Uncle Gong, sir."

To be precise, Bai Su is now under Gong Shuwu's tent, but he spends most of his time learning troop formations from Zhao Feng...

"Why are you here?"

Gong Shuwu asked her: "Do you feel something is wrong?"

Bai Su was stunned: "No."

Gong Shuwu pointed to the sun in the sky.

"Four hours."

He is here to find someone.

Bai Su always goes to work on time on weekdays.

But today, no one has been seen, and no one has seen her after asking around. Gong Shuwu was worried that she would encounter dangers that he could not handle as a foreigner, so he followed her and found her.

By chance, Bai Su's practice has come to an end.

Bai Su was puzzled at first, but when he followed Gong Shuwu's direction and raised his head, he was shocked to find that the sun was in the wrong position.

She actually indulged in practicing for four full hours!

It’s not like this on weekdays!

Bai Su's former profession was a snitch.

The time is always accurate.

Only then did Bai Su realize that Gong Shuwu had come to see him, and he felt ashamed and confused at the same time.

In the morning, she only felt that she was in better condition than ever before, which was reflected in the fact that her body was lighter, as if the invisible restraints on her were loosened a lot, and her sword was more powerful. In the past, she could use one sword, but now she could use three swords... Continuation of the past The moves that may have seemed obscure are now as smooth as flowing water, and you can pick them up at your fingertips...

Bai Su blinked.

Later I realized that my vision was not correct either.

There was such a long distance between her and Gong Shuwu. In the past, she could only see clearly what his face looked like, but now if she looked closely, she could see the fine fuzz on his face and the slight rise and fall of his chest.

Bai Su raised his hands to cover his eyes.

Not only her eyes, ears, and nose seemed to have problems... She didn't feel panic, but a possibility emerged in her heart that made her blood rush. Could it be her——

Gong Shuwu chuckled lightly in his ears.
