Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 22 The aroma of wine fills Yancheng

Yancheng East City.

The two servants of the palace put the wine jar somewhere, which immediately attracted the attention of many people and merchants.

Even some wealthy children who were wandering around in the east and west also joined in the fun and came over.

"Hey, what kind of wine is it? It tastes so strong."

As soon as the wine jar was opened, the aroma of the wine immediately rushed into the noses of the people around him.

Immediately, several drunkards' saliva started to flow.

A servant of the prince's palace was full of pride, recalling the words that King Yan taught him, and said: "To be honest, this jar is the secret wine of His Highness King Yan. I just got a jar today, and His Highness asked us to send it to the east." Come and drink for free with everyone.”

Another servant said: "That's right, so if everyone drinks it and thinks it's good, all you need to do is give a few shouts to His Highness's wine."

The words "free" and "good wine" hit my ears, and the crowd suddenly became commotion.

The people behind pushed forward for fear that they would not be able to take their turn.

The people in front were pushed around, and soon there was almost no room for the palace servants to stand.

And as the news of free wine spread, more and more people flocked to Dongshi.

The palace servants were not dissatisfied with the crowd.

On the contrary, this is what they expect.

Therefore, they did not rush to share the wine, but continued to wait...

Zhang family.

Zhang Qian felt as if he had eaten a dead fly these days.

First, Ice Making Technique sent one hundred thousand taels of silver and some fields to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Now, because his son was blackmailed by the King of Yan, he received one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Even though his Zhang family has a great business, they cannot withstand such torture.

The ice-making skill is nothing more than that, and it is possible to make money back.

But the one hundred thousand taels of silver that was redeemed could never be returned.

Because he felt sorry for the money, he stayed up all night.

He was sighing and drinking tea when he saw the butler coming in a hurry, looking anxious.

"What's wrong? I'm panicking." Zhang Qian was in a bad mood and his tone was naturally bad.

The housekeeper was cautious.

He knew that Zhang Qian was like a wounded tiger now, and he would eat people if he was not careful.

Several servants have already gotten into trouble, and some have even been beaten to death.

"Master, there is something small that I don't know whether I should say." The housekeeper said.

"If you fart, hurry up!" Zhang Qian didn't even raise his head.

After swallowing, the housekeeper said, "Someone came to report that people from Prince Yan's Mansion were giving away free wine in the East Market, saying it was the secret wine of the Prince's Mansion."

Zhang Qian suddenly raised his head when he heard this.

The largest brewery in Yan County belongs to his Zhang family.

And because the Zhang family is so powerful, only the Zhang family can sell wine in Yan County.

Therefore, the profit from selling wine every year is very huge.

Now that Prince Yan's Mansion is giving away free wine in the East Market, he must have the idea of ​​selling wine.

Wouldn't this be robbing him of his business?

"King Yan, you are looking for death!" Zhang Qian slapped his palm on the stone table.

Now, he just hates that time passes too slowly.

Otherwise, he would be able to deal with King Yan as soon as the Beidi people came, so why would he have to suffer every day?

But now, he could only watch as King Yan eroded his interests step by step.

"Send someone to taste it. I don't believe that King Yan can brew any fine wine." Zhang Qian said.

He is still very confident in his own wine.

The butler responded yes, and turned around without daring to stay for a moment.

at the same time.

The news attracted the attention of other wealthy families, and they sent people to pretend to be ordinary people and sneak into Dongshi to find out whether it was true or false.

Some merchants who came to Yan County from other states to do business learned the news and also decided to join in the fun.

East Market.

I saw that people had almost arrived.

The two servants took out the prepared small wine glasses.

Such a wine glass can only hold a small sip at a time.

In this way, more people can taste it.

"Big guys, don't crowd. Come one by one and line up. Those who don't line up won't be given."

The servant poured a glass of wine and started drinking.

Pass the drink to the first person.

This man was dressed in silk and satin, and looked like a merchant with a big belly.

After getting the wine, the merchant drank it without hesitation.

"Ah..." He uttered an exclamation, and the merchant's eyes suddenly straightened.

The delicious wine entered his mouth, stimulating every nerve of his taste.

The drink in his stomach aroused his alcohol addiction, making him dreamlike and very enjoyable for a moment.

"It tastes so good." The merchant shouted and refused to leave.

Looking at the palace servant imploringly, he said: "Please give me another drink."

The people behind saw the merchant's exaggerated performance and couldn't wait any longer.

Three or five people immediately shouted to let the merchant go.

A man with a bad temper directly dragged the merchant behind him.

The two servants smiled, they had already tasted the wine.

The merchant's performance did not surprise them.

Then came the second person.

Like the merchant, after drinking the first cup, he wanted to drink a second cup, but he was also driven away.

After leaving, he stood with the first merchant, as if there was a fire burning in his heart.

I wanted to rush in and take the wine home.

Then the third, fourth, and fifth person who had tasted the wine stood with him.

"This is simply heavenly wine. If you can drink enough, it will be worth dying in this life." An alcoholic's eyes were red.

Hearing the exclamations of the drinkers in front, these people who had tasted it were even more heartbroken.

I don't know who was desperate and suddenly shouted, "Come on, grab a drink with me, it's worth dying tonight."

When these words came out, the crowd immediately became commotion.

The overwhelming crowd rushed towards the servants of the palace.

The two servants of the palace were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the wine brewed by King Yan would cause a commotion.

They tried to stop them, but they couldn't stop the torrent of people, and they were quickly drowned.

Wine jars were also robbed here and there, and Dongshi fell into complete chaos.

When the commotion subsided, they saw that the ground was in a mess, and the wine jars and wine glasses were all gone.

The two servants looked bitter and had no choice but to go home.

at this time.

Three strong men are heading to Zhang's house.

They were holding a wine flask with only a little bit of white wine in it.

That's all they got after beating him to death.

After entering the house, they immediately presented the wine to Zhang Qian.

"Is this the wine made by King Yan?" Zhang Qian knew he lost just by smelling the wine.

The three nodded.

Trembling, he poured out a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

The rich aroma of wine melts in your mouth.

The wine was burning, but his heart was cold.

Even though he didn't want to admit it.

But in front of this wine, the green ant wine that his Zhang family brewed was just a fart.

The palace.

The first time the news of the secret wine spread.

Dong An and Yang He arrived at the palace, but Lu Ran did not come because he had gone to the county military office.

While others were arguing over a glass of wine, Dong An and Yang He had already finished their fill.

After all, after making an alliance with the palace, they and Zhao Xu were in the same boat.

"Your Highness, there is no wine in the world that tastes better than this."

Yang He was extremely drunk, but Dong An was still somewhat sober.

He knew that King Yan was planning to start a wine-selling business by doing this.

He said: "Your Highness, I don't know how much a jar of this wine is worth. Our Dong family is willing to buy a thousand jars and ship them to other places for sale."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Your Highness, there are many people from wealthy families outside the door, asking to see Your Highness."

Zhao Xu smiled proudly after hearing this.

Obviously, wine is more attractive than ice cubes.

Now that the fish are here, it’s time to close the net.
