Wealthy households often have many wives and concubines.
It's not just a struggle between legitimate and illegitimate sons,
Even among biological brothers, the fights are fierce.
The title of baron is worthless.
However, the opportunity to enter a prestigious academy is extremely rare.
Whether it was a curriculum personally designed by the King of Liang,
The opportunity to get to know the high-ranking nobles in the academy is extremely rare.
It is entirely conceivable.
To grab this one spot
In a wealthy household, chaos and disorder are bound to ensue.
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "That's beyond my control."
"Even the illegitimate sons of the Liangshan brothers may not be able to obtain a noble title in the future."
"Perhaps a wealthy person will send all their children to a prestigious academy at once."
Zong Ze nodded and said, "Perhaps there really is."
"If I had money,"
"I will definitely send all my grandsons to prestigious academies."
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "With Lord Zong's talent,"
"They will surely be able to govern Jiangnan in an orderly manner,"
"The court will surely reward you with official titles and ranks."
"However, this conferment of titles is also of great significance to the imperial court,"
“You sell ten barons,”
"I'll hire a baron for you,"
“One hundred, and I'll hire a viscount for you,”
“A thousand, and I’ll hire an earl for you.”
Zong Ze laughed and said, "One hundred shouldn't be a problem."
"If you only grant titles to those in Zhejiang Province,"
"There should be hope for a thousand as well."
"One hundred would be ten million strings of cash."
"His Majesty has granted a general amnesty."
“They were pardoned,”
"It wouldn't be bad to take a nominal title and empty their pockets now."
"Being on the mind of the King of Liang,"
"It's hard for them not to pay,"
"The goods from Jingxing are so valuable that even the wealthiest people in the world are willing to spend generously."
"I'm afraid the King of Liang will create new things to make money off wealthy families in the future."
Zhao Yuan really wanted to seize the money of all the wealthy families in the land.
Take them all out and redistribute them.
However, he hasn't come up with anything good yet.
Shi Qian's spies are now spread all over the area north of the Yangtze River.
Even after he went south,
It also allows one to continuously learn about news from all over the world.
After he led his troops into battle
The Good Man Liquor from Liquor Workshop is now available.
Although many people want to be heroes
However, most people are used to drinking low-alcohol beverages.
Suddenly drinking strong liquor,
I still can't get used to the taste.
In addition, the price of Hero Wine is high.
It did not receive sustained popularity among the people of Tokyo.
Domestic sales are sluggish.
However, sales to external customers are booming.
After Daliang repelled the Liao invasion,
Trade was not prohibited.
The border restrictions have actually been relaxed considerably.
Even the sea ban was lifted.
Merchants from both countries could transport goods by sea.
There is not much risk in coastal navigation.
Sea transport costs are much lower than land transport costs.
So sea routes have just been reopened
Many merchants then began to open up shipping routes.
Traveling between the two countries by sea.
Because the borders are completely open.
There are now several times more Liao Dynasty merchants in Tokyo than during the Song Dynasty.
As soon as Hero Wine hit the market,
This attracted merchants from the Liao Kingdom.
People in the Central Plains are afraid of spicy food.
But people in harsh, cold places need that spicy kick just in.
Many Liao merchants saw the business opportunity.
They bought large quantities of Haohan liquor and shipped it to China by sea.
The first batch of 100,000 jin of wine was brewed.
Within a few days, they were all snapped up by Liao merchants.
And no matter how much you buy at once
Neither of them is lowering the price.
This also seems to be a common characteristic of government-run sales.
Five hundred coins for a pound of wine.
Even 100,000 catties of wine would only amount to 50,000 strings of cash.
Moreover, this year's grain harvest was poor.
It is impossible to brew spirits in unlimited large quantities.
Calculating this year's revenue for the spirits distillery,
At most, it would be a few hundred thousand strings of cash.
In Xu Guanzhong's view, this was already a large sum of money.
However, Zhao Yuan single-handedly built up the banking and mirror businesses.
Each one earns tens of millions of dollars.
They really didn't care about the income from the liquor store.
However, several hundred thousand strings of cash were just a drop in the ocean for the Great Liang.
But for the waning Liao Dynasty...
However, it is a considerable expense.
This continuous blood draw
Even at its peak, the Liao Dynasty might not have been able to withstand it.
Now it will only accelerate its decline.
After the fall of the Liao Dynasty,
The same approach can be used to deal with the Jin Dynasty.
The liquor store doesn't make much money.
However, its strategic significance surpasses that of Jingxing.
Chapter 1784 The Banquet
Jingxing's products were also snapped up by Liao merchants.
However, compared to a silver mirror,
The future of spirits looks even brighter.
Especially the barbaric Jin people,
They ate raw meat and drank blood, and might not even bathe once a year.
It would be quite difficult to get them to buy silver mirrors at high prices.
But they couldn't resist strong liquor.
Zhao Yuan wanted to make perfume.
However, perfumes are already available on the market.
Perfume in this era was made by distilling floral nectar using a still.
The perfume bottles are all glass bottles imported from the Arab world.
Perhaps some people have used a still to distill baijiu (Chinese liquor).
It's just that I've found that strong liquor isn't easily accepted by people.
And the profit margin is not as high as that of perfume.
That's why I focused on making perfumes.
Moreover, after establishing a money exchange and a mirror shop...
Zhao Yuan was no longer willing to work in small industries.
The two talked for a while,
Zhao Yuan granted Zong Ze the authority to independently select and appoint officials in Zhejiang Province.
This was also the power that Zhao Yuan had given to Zhao Yuan in the first place.
The next day, Zhao Yuan led 80,000 troops south to Hangzhou.
Previously, Hangzhou was almost burned to the ground by Fang La's fire.
Although it has been under reconstruction for several months,
However, the Southern Song Dynasty had limited financial resources.
