At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"This wine is brewed by Xia with a unique secret recipe and new technology. If Your Majesty likes it, you can bring ten jars back to Beijing this time!"

Xia Yun smiled happily.

"Xia Yun, you can't keep this good wine to yourself! I want ten jars too!"

"Yes, I want one too!"

"..."

As soon as Xia Yun finished speaking, Zhao Gongming, Lei Zhenning and others began to speak one after another.

It wasn't to deliberately support Xia Yun.

The truth is that this Maotai is indeed a rare and good wine in their lives.

"Okay, okay! Everyone at this table will have a share today. When you leave Hangzhou, everyone will take ten jars with them!"

Xia Yun laughed.

The popularity of Xiamao wine was within his expectations.

But seeing everyone scrambling for things, I felt a lot more happy.

"I have lived for so many years, and I can drink such good wine. I can die without regrets."

After Sun Maocai drank the wine in the bowl, a look of emotion appeared on his face.

Among the people sitting at the table at this moment, except Xu Wan'er, he has the lowest official rank.

In fact, he knew very well that if he had not held on to Xia Yun's thigh in time in Fujian, he would not have the qualifications to appear at this table and dine with His Majesty!

Just two hours ago, he had received an imperial decree from the empress, appointing him as Grand Secretary of Wuying Pavilion and giving him the title of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court.

In this way, although his promotion was not as great as that of Xia Yun and others, he also became the first-rank governor of Fujian!

You should know that the official title of governor was originally of the second rank.

Now in the entire Daliang Dynasty’s officialdom, he is the only one who has become a first-rank governor!

"Xia Yun, now that this war is over, what are your plans for the future?"

While everyone was happily drinking wine, Lei Zhenning suddenly asked.

Perhaps he was a little drunk, when the words came out, even Lei Zhenning himself was a little surprised that he would ask such a question in such an occasion.

Xia Yun was stunned when he heard this.

According to his idea, the Hangzhou navy has already taken shape and can then cross the sea to the east and reach the island of Japan.

Only by truly occupying the island of Dongying can we truly solve the problem of Japanese pirates once and for all!

Otherwise, the Japanese pirates will become too powerful to be eliminated and will come back again one day.

However, just when Xia Yun was about to express his thoughts, Zhao Gongming spoke first.

"According to the court regulations, whenever a new governor-general is appointed in the Liang Dynasty, the first governor-general must go to the capital to meet with the court officials. Xia Yun, how about you come back to the capital with us?"

Xiamao wine not only tastes excellent but is also strong in alcohol. Zhao Gongming just drank several bowls in one breath and a hint of drunkenness appeared on his face.

Xia Yun was stunned again when he heard this.

Does the Daliang Dynasty still have such rules?

Xia Yun immediately shifted his gaze to Xiao Yan, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"indeed so."

Feeling Xia Yun's gaze, Xiao Yan nodded immediately.

"In the history of our Daliang Dynasty, there has never been a post of Governor-General of Jiangnan, but now it is created for you alone..."

Xiao Yan's voice was slightly hesitant.

He was not sure whether Xia Yun was willing to go to Beijing now.

Hearing this, Xia Yun hesitated for a moment and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He originally had no plan to go to Beijing, after all, there were too many old foxes in the capital.

But now it seems that he has no choice but to go to Beijing even if he wants to.

"Xia Yun, I promise you that I will never allow anyone to plot against you during this visit to the capital."

Suddenly, the empress, who had been silent for a long time during the banquet, spoke out of the blue.

Obviously, the empress hoped that Xia Yun would return to Beijing with everyone else this time.

And everyone knew that with Xia Yun's temper and personality, he was indeed not suitable for the complicated situation in the capital.

"Please allow me to think about this matter. I will give you a reply when you return to Beijing tomorrow."

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yun finally responded.

……

The entire celebration banquet lasted for more than three hours.

At nine o'clock in the evening, when hundreds of thousands of troops had all had their fill of food and drink, the celebration banquet came to an end.

When Qian Dajun organized people and started to clean up the leftovers.

Xia Yun appeared alone on the streets of Hangzhou.

The streets of Hangzhou were still bustling at that time.

Under Xiao Haiyang's governance, Hangzhou City has maintained an extremely high and efficient economic growth rate over the past two or three months.

This also makes Hangzhou a real city that never sleeps in this era.

From day to night, all kinds of businessmen and shops appear one after another.

After being busy for several months, Xia Yun finally got the chance to relax.

Especially when he looked at the clean and tidy streets, the pedestrians coming and going, the elderly and children, and the bustling scene, he felt more gratified.

If the whole country can reach the living standard of Hangzhou, a truly peaceful and prosperous era may come.

However, just as Xia Yun was wandering aimlessly, he suddenly saw his own industries.

Xiaji Winery.

A shop located on a busy street, covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters. Merchants coming and going are ordering drinks in the shop.

Wei Erhu and his wife kept welcoming and seeing off guests.

With the expansion of Shanyin County's brewing industry, Wei Erhu and his wife have moved from behind the scenes to the front stage.

This matter was originally instructed by Xia Yun.

According to the welfare benefits initially offered by Xia Yun, Wei Erhu and his wife were considered to be working for Xia Yun and could receive a salary of 500 taels of silver each year.

But as the scale of the industry expanded, Xia Yun took the initiative to make changes.

He directly offered Wei Erhu and his wife a condition of half a share of the dividend every year, and let Wei Erhu and his wife be fully responsible for the Xiamao wine business.

But don't underestimate this half dividend.

According to the current popularity of Xiamao Liquor, even if it just maintains the current status quo, it can still generate at least one million taels of silver in net profit in a year.

For Wei Erhu and his wife, half of the dividend is a full 50,000 taels of silver!

It is no wonder that Wei Erhu and his wife are so concerned about the Xiamao liquor business.

After all, they went from being employees to being shareholders.

When Xia Yun stopped for a moment, Wei Erhu's eyes inadvertently noticed Xia Yun in the crowd.

Wei Erhu's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Although he was not qualified to attend the celebration banquet, he personally offered wine to the current emperor at the banquet.

He knew very well that he was able to receive this honor all because of Xia Yun.

Wei Erhu helped and walked out of the shop quickly and came in front of Xia Yun.

Just as Wei Erhu was about to salute, Xia Yun waved his hand to stop him.

It was not easy for him to go out alone, and he didn't want to be recognized by people around him.

Wei Erhu immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly and respectfully welcomed Xia Yun into a luxurious room in the store.
