Chapter 374 Benefits
Gaochang State has a unique environment, with abundant sunshine and scarce precipitation. Artificial irrigation is almost non-existent in this era. Although the grape varieties may not be suitable, they have high sugar content.
Fang Jun nodded and said proudly: "Then let's build a winery with an annual output of 100,000 jins of grape wine. But we don't make wine. We just collect the wine made by other families and use my own secret method to blend it and eliminate it. The astringent taste in the wine improves the quality of the wine. Then the official's company was marketed in the Tang Dynasty, and even exported to Goguryeo, Japan, and Nanyang."
Akagi Hague's breathing became heavy!
The Fang family's business name alone can increase the sales of grape wine by at least 30%. Coupled with this secret method of preparing wine to improve the quality, it is simply...
"I am willing to follow the example of the Marquis and use people, materials and money. If the Marquis says something, I will not dare to disobey you!"
Akagi Hague has been doing business all his life, how can he not see the huge business opportunities and huge profits contained in it?
Gaochangguo's grape wine has always been marketed in the East and the West, but relatively speaking, sales in the East are often more than ten times that in the West! There is no way, those Persian kingdoms and the food kingdoms fight with their lives, but they are too poor! Only the nobles in the country can enjoy such expensive luxuries. As for the common people, they can't even have enough to eat. How can they have money to drink?
But the Tang Dynasty in the East was different!
Whether it was the Sui Dynasty in the past or the Tang Dynasty now, even if the war was raging and the world was in chaos, the nobles and wealthy households were still singing, singing, dancing and having fun. The Han people were too rich!
Akagi Hague understands that if this trade route can be maintained, it will provide long-term protection for the tribe!
What else is there to hesitate about?
You must hold tightly to the Marquis in front of you!
He knew that what Fang Jun wanted was the stability of Gaochang State. It was his political achievements that could guarantee his favor in front of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. So, he would do his best to help him maintain this stability!
Fang Jun was very satisfied with Akagi Hague's performance and looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone, is there anyone who is interested in joining us and making a fortune together?"
Prime Minister Ju Wendou hesitated.
It's nonsense to say that you can't be moved...
Who doesn't like money?
Although he is not a businessman, his vision and knowledge are much higher than those of Akagi Hague. Of course, he can see that Fang Jun wants to use the transfer of interests to bring together the large forces of the Gaochang Kingdom present here to achieve the goal of maintaining The purpose of Gaochangguo's stability.
Once all parties are united in this kind of interest alliance, the several forces with stakes and benefits will naturally stay close to Datang.
As a result, I'm afraid it won't be long before Gaochang State becomes a county of the Tang Dynasty...
Although Gaochang Kingdom has been captured by the Tang Dynasty, Ju Wendou does not think that the Tang Dynasty can directly set up state capitals and counties here. After all, it is too far away from the Tang Dynasty and the forces of various countries in the Western Region are intertwined, making it too difficult to control.
At most, it would be a part of the army stationed there, nominally included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but in reality it was still autonomous.
Then, relying on the reputation of his royal family and the power in his hands, Ju Wendou is very likely to complete the great cause of restoration at some time in the future...
But if Fang Jun is allowed to win over these forces, he will not even have the slightest chance. Are you just trying to be a puppet butler?
Ju Wendou was unwilling to give in!
He wanted to ruin Fang Jun's plan, but he couldn't find a perfect excuse. Is it temporary forbearance or obstruction? He was a little embarrassed and couldn't make up his mind, so he glanced at the young man on his left, fearing that this man would act rashly.
This young man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He looks quite heroic. Ever since he stepped into this courtyard, he was intimidated by Fang Jun's aura. He has always lowered his eyebrows and kept silent.
At this time, he saw Ju Wendou looking at him with twinkling eyes, thinking that he was asking him to take the lead, so he sat up straight, gritted his teeth, and mustered up the courage to say: "Although the Marquis' move can double our family fortune, but... Have you ever thought that there are many small wineries in Gaochang? Monopolizing grape wine is tantamount to pushing those small wineries to a dead end, so it is not a kind thing to do. "
The atmosphere under the grape trellis suddenly condensed.
Ju Wendou almost jumped up and slapped this bastard in the mouth. I looked at you to tell you to calm down. Who asked you to jump out and be the leader?
Do you really think they are vegetarians? !
The others also did not expect that this young man would dare to refute Fang Jun's proposal face to face...
The smile on Fang Jun's face did not change, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and the bright light suddenly appeared and disappeared in a flash. He smiled and said: "I haven't asked yet, what is your name for this brother?"
The young man mustered up the courage to say these words, and his heart was pounding.
Before coming here, my family reached an agreement with Ju Wendou to support Ju Wendou in his fight with Fang Jun. They used the local forces of Gaochang State to suppress Fang Jun and made him agree that Ju Wendou would serve as the temporary manager of Gaochang State. When he was lax about Gaochang State, he tried to restore it.
After saying this, he couldn't help but secretly complain about Ju Wendou. After hearing Fang Jun's words, he quickly replied: "I am the young master of the Pu family, Pu Quluo."
"Pu family?" Fang Jun frowned and thought for a moment before remembering. He sighed helplessly, looked at Pu Quluo, and said with an angry expression: "Although I took over Gaochang State not long ago, He appeased the people, encouraged commerce, and restored production. He considered himself to be very tolerant. He did not punish the old and young of Gaochang Kingdom harshly, and he was even more tolerant towards the Ju family. I liked those knowledgeable people. People who are in charge of current affairs must listen to whoever is in charge. I make suggestions for the benefit of everyone. If you don't want to join, that's your freedom. But you are speaking out like this. Are you ridiculing me for this naive suggestion, or are you trying to create hatred for me? According to you, do you want to drive all those small wine shops to death?”
After saying that, he sighed and looked at Ju Wendou with a troubled expression: "Pu is a relative of Gaochang, you are a member of the Gaochang royal family, and you are a family. Tell me, what should I do if you slander my official reputation in this way?" < br>
Ju Wendou broke out in a cold sweat...
What does it mean that he and I are a family?
Are you trying to get involved or something?
However, he had nothing to say.
He understood that Fang Jun wanted him to deal with the Pu family...
Ju Wendou felt bitter in his heart. Fang Jun wanted him to submit a certificate of surrender and cut out the Pu family to show his loyalty. Ju Wendou would order the execution of all the Pu family without hesitation. Ju Wendou had never heard of the saying "A dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist", but it did not prevent him from understanding this truth.
He doesn't dare to think about what he would do if Fang Jun points the finger at him again after he kills the Pu clan. He can hide for a while...
Ju Wendou took a breath, stood up suddenly, and said seriously: "The Pu family despises the angels of the Tang Dynasty, is stubborn, secretly colludes with the Turks, and intends to subvert the hard-won stability of Gaochang Kingdom. They really deserve to die! How dare you, the humble official?" , I implore the Lord Marquis to order the Pu family to be brought to justice and sentenced to death to serve as a warning to others!”
In just a moment, Ju Wendou made up his mind to exterminate the Pu clan as a sign of his surrender. As long as Fang Jun trusts himself and allows his strength to be preserved, then he will have the opportunity to complete the great cause of restoration and regain the glory of the Ju family!
As for the Pu family, although they are descendants of the clan, they are lacking in strategy and strategy, especially this Pu Quluo, who is so stupid that he can't even read a look and will get himself killed sooner or later! In this case, it is better to use the blood of your Pu family to stabilize the foundation of my Ju Wendou!
Sacrifice your family and make myself happy...
The rest of the people were silent, watching Ju Wendou angrily want to kill all the Pu family, they all felt sorry for him.
A thing hurts its kind, a rabbit dies and a fox is sad...
But this Mr. Pu is ignorant. You don't want the benefits given to you by Fang Jun, but you still have to fight with them. Isn't this a penalty for not eating the toast?
If you do your own evil, you will not live.
But this Ju Wendou is too shameless. The Pu family is a descendant of the family and is your ally! Turning one's face is faster than turning the page in a book. He has no regard for his own reputation and is so heartless and heartless as a viper. It's really chilling!
Puquluo was shocked...
He really couldn't understand why Ju Wendou wanted the Pu clan's sacrificial flag in the blink of an eye.
You actually want to kill all the Pu family in exchange for Fang Jun's trust in you?
It’s simply worse than a beast! (End of chapter)
