Empress, Spare My Life: Your Humble Minister Will Undress and Offer Treasures

Carrying a transmigration guide, Zhao Hao transmigrated to the Great Qian Dynasty, becoming a notorious good-for-nothing second-generation official. Because he teased a princess, he was thrown into...

Chapter 165: Too Big an Appetite

In the afternoon, Qin Shuang learned from Qin Shuyun about Zhao Hao's cooperation with the royal family in the wine business.

After hearing the news, he was totally shocked.

Only then did I understand why Zhao Hao was conferred the title of Viscount.

However, he immediately came up with an idea.

That is in Xingzhou.

Agent for selling dry wine.

He spent the entire afternoon thinking about this matter without resting.

Now, it has finally been brought up.

Of course, just now, he had already discussed this with Zhao Wenxiang and Qin Shuyun.

My sister and brother-in-law have surprisingly consistent opinions.

They don't care about this matter.

As long as Zhao Hao nodded, they would have no objection.

And I’d be happy to see it come to fruition.

His sister and brother-in-law's statements shocked him again.

He finally had a more real understanding of Zhao Hao's influence.

Zhao Hao said softly, "Third Uncle, have you thought about it? You know, being an agent to sell dry wine, especially in a state, requires a lot of investment."

Although the Qin family is not small, in terms of strength, it should not reach this level.

Qin Shuang said quickly: "Hao'er, although I haven't told your master and uncles about this matter, if they knew that the family had such an opportunity, they would definitely not give up!"

"Being the agent for the sale of dry wine in the entire Xingzhou, although the investment must be huge, it is also a sure profit!"

"If the Qin family puts all their efforts into it, they can still eat it up!"

Hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He could actually understand his third uncle's idea.

For him, handing over the agency rights of Xingzhou was just a matter of a word.

However, given the size of the Qin family, it is still too difficult for them to do this.

And there was one thing he had to consider.

Those are the top families.

During this Chinese New Year, the aristocratic families came to visit the Zhao family for several days, as if all the previous conflicts had never existed.

This is also the reason.

They are all thinking of becoming agents to sell the dry wine.

Because after the Chinese New Year, the weather gradually gets warmer, it is inevitable that the wine-making workshop will expand its scale.

Once the production is increased on a large scale, it will no longer be enough to simply hand over the sales to the royal family as it is now.

At this time, the aristocratic families must be allowed to join in.

This is a win-win situation.

Dagan has a total of thirteen states, and Xingzhou is considered to be a relatively important state in the west.

Moreover, the location of Xingzhou can connect to both Shu State and Wu State.

By then, if it is sold to those two countries, Xingzhou will be an extremely important position.

This is a huge cake.

Now handing it over to the Qin family, a family with insufficient strength, will actually have half the result with twice the effort.

Seeing Zhao lowering his head in thought, Qin Shuang suddenly became anxious and quickly winked at his sister Qin Shuyun next to him.

Qin Shuyun glared at him and said helplessly, "Hao'er, this shouldn't be a difficult matter for you, right?"

"Wouldn't it be a happy thing for everyone if we handed it over to your uncle?"

"Could it be possible that Princess Yongning would disagree?"

Qin Shuyun didn't know how to do business, so she just thought that Zhao Hao was deep in thought because he was worried that Princess Yongning would not agree.

Zhao Hao raised his head and whispered, "Mother, that's not the case. As long as I ask, Her Royal Highness will definitely agree!"

Hearing him say this, Qin Shuang was immediately overjoyed and said, "Hao'er, does this mean you agree?"

"Don't worry..."

Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "Uncle, Xingzhou has four prefectures. It is definitely not possible to give them all to the Qin family!"

Hearing him say this, Qin Shuang's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Why? Hao'er, don't underestimate the Qin family."

"Just like what my uncle said just now, if the Qin family puts all their efforts into it, they will definitely be able to handle it!"

Zhao Hao said patiently: "Third uncle, don't worry, just listen to your nephew and you will know."

"I deny it mainly for several reasons."

"First, it is the strength of the Qin family. If we want to make a comprehensive layout in all four prefectures of Xingzhou, we can barely do it if we put all our efforts into it, just like you said, Third Uncle."

"But this will not only require a lot of money, but also a lot of time."

"And time is even more important."

"The court is even more strapped for cash because of this disaster, and is waiting for the money to be spent on the wine."

"It would be best if the products can be converted into money immediately after production, so that we can solve the urgent problem."

"My father is the Internal Affairs Minister, in charge of the country's purse. He should know best."

Zhao Wenxiang didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

He actually had an idea when Qin Shuang mentioned this matter just now.

Even if Zhao Hao agreed, he would stop it at that time.

Because the Qin family does not have the strength to fully represent Xingzhou.

By the time the Qin family has fully expanded their business, it will take who knows how long it will take.

The Qin family can wait, but the imperial court cannot.

What's more, the various aristocratic families are also watching.

Taking all factors into consideration, no matter how you look at it, this is impossible.

He didn't say anything, just wondered how Zhao Hao would respond.

Sure enough, this stinky son did not disappoint him and his assessment of the situation was quite accurate.

Zhao Hao continued speaking.

"The second point is because of the family."

"Third uncle should know that the first-class families paid a lot for the heavy snow disaster in Yunzhou and Dingzhou this time."
