Chapter 160 Brothers, There Is Wine! [Third Update! 】

From all the countries on the entire continent, except for the prairie wolves and the southern border tribes who did not come, there were not a few people from each of the other four empires.

And every general made a similar request.

"General's wedding wine, can you leave another hundred altars for this general? This general asks General Tie to show his face; the brothers who are unable to come to this banquet in their own country, no matter whether they live or die, want to drink a glass of wine that is exclusively for soldiers!"

"Marshal Tie, can you reserve a thousand catties for the wedding banquet? The men in our country's army... who can't come, are looking forward to it!"

Thinking of these words, Tie Zheng just wanted to scold her.

I still can’t afford the ones in our country, so reserve them for you? Thinking too much?

Wine, of course, is abundant.

As long as you have money, let alone a few million catties of wine, even tens of millions of catties, you can buy it!

There are more than tens of thousands of restaurants in the Yutang Empire just for brewing wine. Where is the lack of wine?

All the restaurants are willing to place an order for Grand Marshal Tie Zheng's wedding banquet and wedding wine!

But, but but, but but, the problem is that... Tie Zheng doesn't have that much money to pay the bill!

Tie Zheng's wedding banquet caused a sensation in the military of all countries in the mainland. The wine used for the wedding banquet should not be too low. If the wine is a little lower, it is impossible to entertain the guests. After all, this time the entertainment for the guests is from Yuguan Yutang!

Almost all the senior military generals from the major empires are here!

If you don't bring out good wine, how can you pass by?

If you really use the kind of bad wine that can be sold for ten catties for one tael of silver...won't it be possible to drink all the generals of those hostile countries to death here?

That would really cause trouble!

And the good wine that can be served at the wedding banquet, even the cheapest one, costs ten taels of silver a catty!

And even if this kind of fine wine is served at ten taels of silver per catty, the entire wedding banquet will require at least two million catties or more!

That's twenty million taels of silver!

Where does Tie Zheng have so much silver?

Tie Zheng sold all his bone marrow... and now he can't get it all together.

For this matter, Marshal Tie has been grimacing and sighing every day for a while.

Your Majesty has just raised donations... and emptied everyone's pockets, and I have nowhere to borrow money...

He doesn't regret that he made this decision back then, he's just worried!

Silver!

Silver!

Sometimes Tie Zheng was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night, thinking: How about sending 20,000 people divided into ten directions to suppress the bandits?

Then... it can be regarded as a way of making money, a solution...

"Marshal!" The head of the bodyguard said, "Someone from the Ma family asked to see me?"

"Who?" Tie Zheng asked impatiently, "Which Ma family?"

"It's the Ma family known as... Jin Ge Tie Ma, Yu Tang Empire, the number one restaurant." The head of the guards said excitedly: "It's their young boss, Ma Chenglu."

"Call him in."

Tie Zheng wondered, the Ma family's wine has always been high-end, and the worst wine among all the wines seems to cost seven or eight taels of silver a catty, which is obviously not suitable for his wedding wine, so they came to find What are you doing?

Mr. Ma came, and the first sentence made Tie Zheng overjoyed: "I have heard about Marshal Tie's wedding for a long time. It just so happens that we have a batch of wine, which has been backlogged for a long time... Willing to sell it to the marshal at the reserve price, and please give him a reward." save face."

"How much wine is there?" Tie Zheng couldn't help becoming interested when he heard this.

"Four million catties!" Ma Chenglu said, "A jar of twenty catties, a total of 200,000 jars!"

"So many!" Tie Zheng was startled. Then I thought: These wines must be enough for this wedding banquet.

But...how about the price?

Thinking about it, Tie Zheng asked, and when he asked, he felt a little weak: "How much is a catty?"

Xindao, since the fine wine produced by Jin Ge Tie Ma's family has not been sold for a long time, it is probably the kind of high-end top-quality wine. Even if it is sold at a low price, it is estimated that it will cost fifteen taels or twenty taels, right? If it is twenty taels, then it is eighty million taels of silver... If this guy really says the same number as this one, I will beat him out directly!

Look at me, do you look like someone who is taking advantage of 80 million taels? Are you here to play tricks on me? ! Let alone 80 million, I only need 20 million now, so why worry about it?

"How about six million taels of silver for this four million catties of wine!" When Mr. Ma Chenglu said these words, he was filled with emotion in his heart.

Yun Yang!

My Young Master Yun, why did you do this?

A total of 30 million taels of silver, just thrown out without blinking an eye. don't let others know...

How did Ma Chenglu know that not only the 30 million taels for buying wine, but also the money that Tie Zheng will pay for his wedding and wine purchases all came from Yunyang!

After the trouble caused by His Majesty the Emperor, the money in Yutang City is now unprecedentedly tense, and few people dare to make large money transactions. Tie Zheng's original plan to sell his two manors and exchange rewards for money over the years could not be realized at all. No one wanted it, if it wasn't for that, why would Yun Yang go to such trouble!

"Can't afford...what?!" Tie Zheng subconsciously said these three words before his eyes widened: "Say, how much is it?!"

He could hardly believe his ears.

Six million taels? Four million catties? One tael and five silver coins per catty? so cheap?

"Could it be...a bad bar?" Tie Zheng looked at Ma Chenglu suspiciously.

This is probably the only explanation, otherwise it can be so cheap, it must be bad wine, or it will be backlogged for a long time!

"In order to let the commander-in-chief clear his mind, I specially brought a hundred altars here today." Ma Chenglu said, "It's just outside, the commander-in-chief can taste it for himself."

A jar of wine was brought in.

But just looking at the appearance of the wine jar, Tie Zheng fell in love with it right away.

The cyan wine jar is not the usual ellipse, but rather elongated with sharp edges and corners. A large piece of red cloth sealed the mouth of the altar.

Red like blood!

On the red cloth are three large black characters.

"Hero Blood".

Just this jar, this piece of red cloth, and these three words made Tie Zheng's eyes turn red instantly.

Even if this wine is slightly weaker, I want it too!

On the back of the jar, there are still fourteen small characters written on the same piece of red cloth.

Defend the country with loyalty and green blood, and build the majestic pass with iron bones and loyal souls!

Seeing it as if struck by lightning, Tie Zheng was stunned for a moment, tears streaming down his face.

The wine was poured out, it was as red as blood, and the aroma of the wine was tangy.

With trembling hands, Tie Zheng picked up a bowl and drank it down in one gulp, only feeling a burning heat rushing straight into his throat. Immediately, a fierce fire burned directly in his stomach!

"Good wine! Really good wine!" Tie Zheng's words were accompanied by tears, "My brothers... will definitely be satisfied!"

With a trembling voice, he asked, "Are all the wines of this standard?"

"Yes!" Ma Chenglu said loudly: "As long as there is a pot of poor quality, I will not charge any money for all the wine!"

Tie Zheng took a deep breath, grabbed Ma Chenglu's hand in a ecstasy, and was very grateful: "Thank you!"

Which man in the army is not good at drinking?

The same is true for Tie Zheng, how can he not drink it, the quality of this wine is not only not bad at all, it is absolutely superior!

One tael or five silver coins per catty is no different from giving it away for nothing!

At such a price, I am afraid that Mr. Ma's family will lose a lot of money!

Ma Chenglu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Don't worry about it, Commander. The Ma family didn't lose too much money in this transaction. It was entrusted by others... The person who should be thanked by the Commander should not be us."

He finally spoke up.

Tie Zheng was shocked: "Who?"

"This, please forgive me for not being able to tell you." Ma Chenglu said: "The man repeatedly told me not to reveal it...and please don't embarrass me, Commander."

"I wish the Marshal a happy wedding." Ma Chenglu took two steps back and saluted farewell: "I also hope that the brothers in the army can drink and drink happily. I will take my leave."

"Wait." Tie Zheng stopped him: "I'll bring the bank note, you take it away."

Tie Zheng took out the bank notes and insisted on paying two million taels more, but Ma Chenglu resolutely refused, and went home with six million taels of silver notes in his pocket.

That afternoon.

The army dispatched men and horses to cooperate with the Ma's house to send carts of fine wine into Tiezheng's mansion in a steady stream.

The two large warehouses that were vacated early were filled with the effort of a cup of tea.

Then in the yard, a group of men in the army were sweating like rain, and they were neatly piled up, as stable as a mountain!

The whole yard is full, and only less than one-third of the weight has been laid down.

Another piece of land was flattened outside the yard, surrounded by military camps, and wine was stored in the middle.

Until Zhou Zheng was completely done, all the thousand soldiers were sweating profusely.

"Hurry up and open a few pots, brothers have worked hard, let's have a drink first, soothe our hearts." Tie Zheng said and was about to move the wine.

Then the two personal guards rushed forward and hugged him tightly: "Marshal... no, no, no!"

Tie Zheng turned his head and looked at the soldiers with beads of sweat on their faces in surprise: "Aren't you tired? What can I do if I ask you to drink some of my general's wedding wine in advance? I don't give you any face. General?"

"No, no, no..." A personal guard swallowed saliva in his throat, with a simple smile on his face: "It's really unnecessary... This is not just the wedding wine of the commander-in-chief, but also... it is also the wedding wine of all our brothers who live and die, and all the living ones. , The wedding wine of the dead brother... If it was another time, other wine, I would drink it. But this wine, before that day, I drank it... I feel ashamed."

"The commander-in-chief's mood, we understand very well, but this meeting, the real heart." The head of the guard said seriously: "Wait...after the commander-in-chief's wedding, if there is any leftover, let's drink it. If Because I drank a few altars today, but I will miss these altars that day...Even if the brothers die immediately, they will have no place to be ashamed, what face is there to see the brothers who died under the nine springs."

Looking at the sincere faces, Tie Zheng felt that his throat was suddenly blocked.

"……good!"

"Brothers!"

Tie Zheng staggered into the room, suddenly burst into laughter, and roared to the sky: "Brothers! Have you seen these wines! Have you seen them! This is... my wedding wine, our wine! Your wine! "

When it came to the last few words, my voice was completely hoarse!
