All morning, the Dasong Post Office District was busy with troops and horses.

Originally, the Song Dynasty was rich and loved to save face, so it was surprisingly spacious and huge in the inn area of ​​Osaka Prefecture, and was built like a fairyland on earth.

It was almost noon, but hundreds of merchants were walking around busy, either in groups of three or five, or in groups of eight, anyway, they were discussing the business that would be later.

Two officials from the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty, one named Zhong Guanjie and the other named Chen Jiahao, were both officials who were not valued in the Ministry of Rites and were sent to this small island in Japan.

On weekdays, they received generous salaries, and then gained some benefits through contact with domestic merchants. They went to attend a luxurious banquet invited by Japanese nobles every now and then, and also had two concubines. This day was so comfortable.

However, since they saw the "Imperial Gift Golden Medal" yesterday afternoon, they immediately became busy like galloping horses.

As officials of the Ministry of Rites, Zhong Guanjie and Chen Jiahao naturally knew very well about some of the royal tokens and jade plaques. They only knew with a glance that this was a gold medal that the emperor often carried around and was definitely not adulterated.

When they heard their subordinates' return, the person holding the token came from more than a dozen standard Jiangnan Navy warships in the Song Dynasty, they had no doubts and focused on helping to prepare for the transaction. They didn't want to ask why, and they would never ask why.

It was precisely because of their awe of imperial power that those lowly merchants from all over the world, together with Japanese nobles, entered the inn area. A group of officials from the Song Dynasty did not feel any dissatisfied, but instead greeted them with a happy look.

The talented men of the Song Dynasty who were always high and above chatted with him, which was originally a rare honor, but at this moment, whether merchants or nobles, they always looked at the rows of wine jars of all sizes and big and small around them.

According to the information, the dense jars of 10,000 to 20,000 large mud are filled with one million kilograms of fine wine.

There are three types of fine wine: 200,000 jin of "Beauty Fragrance", 500,000 jin of "Drunk Immortal Brew" and 300,000 jin of "Heroic Blood".

As for the taste of the three kinds of wines... there are three large tables, and each table is filled with dense small bowls. As long as you want to taste the taste, you can take a cup to drink. As long as you don’t feel cold, you can drink one or two more cups - let alone, many people have drunk several cups in a row.

Someone who has bought and tasted "Beauty Scent" and "Hero Blood" before has confirmed that these are indeed the two mysterious wines that were more than half a year ago. In addition, the "Drunk Fairy Brew" that has never been known as the name, the taste is between the two, but it is most suitable for your daily drinking. Compared to those two, it is still amazing.

Of course, those who have this idea are just Japanese people.

More than a dozen merchants from the Great Liao Kingdom never thought so. All they wanted was "heroic blood".

There are still about twenty merchants from the Song Dynasty who are not big in size. They secretly like to have encountered such a good opportunity. They want to buy two things: the pure and refreshing "beauty fragrance" and the rich and mellow "Zuixian wine", which are all peerless wines that are hard to come by. After being transported back from the last time, they were almost stolen without even leaving Bianliang City. This time, I really deserve to make a fortune.

However, there are no worries for everyone.

It is no problem for things to make money, but the conditions raised by this mysterious master are very strange, just like... a slave trader.

Take a look at the list in your hands: blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, lacquers... all kinds of craftsmen want.

According to the superb skills of craftsmen, an ordinary craftsman has one thousand taels of gold, a medium craftsman has two thousand taels of gold, a high-quality craftsman has five thousand taels of gold, and a craftsman has an outrageous 10,000 taels of gold.

Such an outrageously high price is simply a slave owner who sells humans, and it is absolutely qualified!

Of course, it was not that they asked these people to catch craftsmen to buy and sell, but that they were asked to persuade these craftsmen to take their families and go with us.

As for the methods used by merchants and nobles, it is not our business.

Actually, I have some regrets, that I can only do this in Japan.

Otherwise, the Song Dynasty was so big and so arrogant that it would never be willing to agree to this condition. However, the Liao Kingdom itself lacked craftsmen, so how could it be willing to trade craftsmen?

Only Japan does not attach great importance to craftsmen, is luxurious and frivolous, and wants to enjoy it. Craftsmen live the hardest here and are most suitable for us to poach.

The benefits we give are not only the high prices of craftsmen, but also because the average price of three kinds of fine wines has increased by fifteen taels of gold per catty. However, if the craftsmen are used to pay for the digits, they will only sell ten taels of gold per catty. The price is reduced by one third at a time. And how many craftsmen are used to pay for the digits of wine, they can enjoy the same amount of cheapness of buying wine.

Such a series of discounts have caused a group of merchants and nobles to act quickly since they gave the list last night. They not only operated in Osaka, but also searched for craftsmen in major towns and villages such as Nara, Kobe, Kyoto, and other places nearby, and vowed to get the largest share at the cheapest price.

...

At noon, the owner gradually appeared in the middle of this large garden.

Zhong Guanjie, Chen Jiahao, Yutian Palace Changci and several noble people were accompanied by a warrior or a literati-like person, sitting aside for a drink. This is the style of a big shot, and you don’t have to directly participate in the transaction. If there is anything, just let the people below negotiate.

The officials learned about the "Heroic Blood", "Drunk Immortal Brew" and "Beauty Fragrance" through the businessman of the Song Dynasty. After asking about the origin of the "Mengqiulou", they also knew the true identity of the master after being untied. Facing Shen Jinshi, who was recognized as half of the imperial tutor, Zhong Guanjie and Chen Jiahuan both shortened half of their heads again and became more respectful.

The one who really came out to host was a group of young men, the leader. He was not tall, but had a beautiful face and a gentle atmosphere.

Seeing the official coming out, these merchants and nobles were divided into two circles, surrounding the garden, waiting for us to speak.

I signaled to Shiro, who had the largest voice, and spoke loudly, "Everyone, you should know the prices of various fine wines. The influence of raw materials and other factors has led to a huge increase in our brewing prices. Selling at this price basically won't make much money. My young master is going on a big sale today, please seize the opportunity!"

"I'm sorry, I want to ask, what are you doing with so many craftsmen?" a nobleman couldn't help asking, "Is it a rebellion?"

"Uncle, if we want to rebel, we have to recruit strong men. If we want craftsmen to rebel, wouldn't we think that we have a long life?" Silang responded with a smile.

His answer caused laughter among the people below to make trouble. Just thinking about it, it was clear that many of these craftsmen had never seen weapons before, and most of them were not young people, so it was impossible for them to rebel.

After a pause, Silang said again, "Actually, my young master has a territory. He wants to build the territory and enjoy the feeling of going from poor to magnificent, so he wants to gather a large number of craftsmen to complete this matter together. Don't worry about the specifics. Anyway, we know that we won't abuse the craftsmen idiots, just kill the craftsmen."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed again.

Siro's reason is given very well, and the purpose of the craftsmen is here, so basically not many people doubt it.

Even the merchants of the Song Dynasty who muttered in their hearts or knew our origins did not take it seriously because the craftsmen had nothing to do with their own enjoyment and profit-making life.

"Since everyone knows it, let's start!" Silang looked around and said loudly, "Now I announce that the sale will begin, and each batch will be sold at a quantity of 10,000 kilograms. Who is interested? If you are interested, please take your quotation to us. After preliminary verification, you can sign the agreement!"

"I'll do it!" A middle-aged Japanese nobleman stepped out first. He took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to us: "I have arranged the personnel. You can send someone to inspect it later. I promise in the name of the General of the Left Guard of the Japanese Kingdom that I will never deceive you in falsehood."

"Look at what you said." Yan Xiaohu said a polite word, picked up the list and read it: "Three ordinary blacksmiths, six stonemasons, five gardeners, twenty farming experts... Five medium-sized paint makers, two carpenters, eight livestock breeding experts... One blacksmith, one construction craftsman... The total amount is 200,000 taels of gold, plus a double discount amount. You only need to spend 200,000 taels of gold to buy wine worth 400,000 taels of gold, that is, 40,000 kilograms of wine. Please choose freely!"

"Haha, I've already thought about it and bring me a 40,000 kilogram of 'Drunk Fairy Brew'." The left guard general said with a happy smile.

"Hey, Imakawa! Don't go too far!"

Several noble men jumped out and started to blame him loudly.

"Imakawa, you are not afraid of being overwhelmed to death!"

"Do you want to be so exaggerated? There are only 500,000 kilograms in total, and you have almost got a quarter of it. Let's leave some for everyone!"

"Yes, can you give me some? "

Faced with everyone's jealousy, the Left Guard General held his head and stood up to the table beside him, slowly drinking the free wine he brought, while asking his housekeeper to take Yan Xiaohu and a group of our craftsmen to the inspector's place.
