Chapter 184 The aroma of wine spread throughout the Great Xia

Upon seeing Yun Zhiqian and Wen Yuxia sign the general agency contract for Yunxiao Kingdom, and hearing that Nangong Wenrui wanted to acquire agency rights for all countries except Yunxiao Kingdom, a wealthy businessman surnamed Gu became interested. He expressed his desire to acquire the agency rights for the entire Rongzhou.

Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile, "For fruit wine, there is only one distributor per county, and the distributor must raise funds for the county's water conservancy projects..."

The wealthy businessman surnamed Gu weighed the options in his mind: brown sugar, honeycomb briquettes, or alcohol. He chose the honeycomb briquettes and said with a smile:

"Mr. Gu has a lot of business in Rongzhou Prefecture. If Boss Wen chooses Mr. Gu to be the agent for honeycomb briquettes, Mr. Gu will contact merchants in Rongzhou Prefecture to contribute to Rongzhou's water conservancy projects..."

The wealthy businessman surnamed Gu was originally from Rong County. Besides being the general agent for honeycomb briquettes in Rongzhou Prefecture, he also wanted to become the agent for fruit wine in Rong County, and promised to raise funds for Xia Yichen's water conservancy project in Rong County.

To secure these two contracts, the merchant surnamed Gu immediately gave Wen Yuxia two thousand taels of silver. "Ms. Wen," he said, "this silver is a personal donation. The president of the Rongzhou Chamber of Commerce is my brother-in-law, and the president of the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce is my uncle. I'll definitely handle the donation perfectly."

For the merchant surnamed Gu, doing good deeds and gaining fame was entirely beneficial. A mere two thousand taels of silver would allow his name to be engraved on the merit monuments of Rongzhou Prefecture and Rong County. He was already considering how much to donate to his children.

Wen Yuxia successfully signed agency contracts for Rongzhou Prefecture honeycomb briquettes and Rongxian County fruit wine. With the Gu family businessman setting an example, agency contracts for Rongzhou Prefecture brown sugar and pills were quickly signed as well.

Of the thirty-two counties in Rongzhou Prefecture, eight had their fruit wine distributorships signed by wealthy businessmen present. Wen Yuxia was busy until the afternoon before she had a moment to spare. She said somewhat apologetically to Nangong Wenrui, "Young Master, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's alright, Princess Muhua. Can we discuss our cooperation now?" The stall owners and customers in Baoqu Pavilion had all left, and Nangong Wenrui had changed his form of address.

After a moment of contemplation, Wen Yuxia said, "I am the producer of the fruit wine, and I sell it in Daxia. I own 90% of the shares, and the Crown Prince owns 10%... You have 90% and I have 10%, what do you think?"

Wen Yuxia's plan was to contribute her technology as equity, without caring about anything else. She would hold 10% of the shares, while Nangong Wenrui would hold 90%. However, Nangong Wenrui would be responsible for planting, brewing, purification, sales, and transportation.

Nangong Wenrui's eyes lit up; he thought it was a good idea. The Nangong family had bases in many countries, and obtaining the recipe would make it much easier for them to brew their own fruit wine than to source it from Daxia.

"Princess Mu Hua, could we cooperate on brown sugar and pills in this way? I also want the honeycomb briquette formula and the honeycomb briquette machine," Nangong Wenrui said gently.

Wen Yuxia had already planned ahead, "I, the princess, cannot make decisions regarding brown sugar, pills, honeycomb briquettes, or the honeycomb briquette machine; the young master needs to discuss this with the Crown Prince in person."

After a moment's thought, Nangong Wenrui nodded in agreement, "Alright, let's sign the fruit wine contract first, and I'll discuss the rest with Xia Yichen."

The contract between Wen Yuxia and Nangong Wenrui did not specify which countries, only that for every jin of wine sold by the Nangong family outside of Daxia and Yunxiao Kingdom, Wen Yuxia would receive 10% of the profit.

After signing the contract, Nangong Wenrui said, "Princess Muhua, I will go find Xia Yichen now, sign the contract, and then come to Rongzhou Prefecture to find you."

Wen Yuxia smiled and said, "Now that the matter in Rongzhou Prefecture is settled, I will be going to Ningzhou Prefecture. I will prepare the liquor purification and fruit wine recipes for you, young master, and I will be ready to welcome your visit at any time."

Nangong Wenrui smiled and said, "Princess Muhua, we are now partners. Calling me 'Young Master' is too formal. Just call me Wenrui."

Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile, "Wenrui, you can just call me Muhua."

A relieved smile appeared on Nangong Wenrui's face. The moment he saw Wen Yuxia at Jin Yu Man Tang, he had an urge to get closer to her.

Now, he has a cooperative relationship with Wen Yuxia, so he can legitimately stay by her side.

After leaving Baoquge, Wen Yuxia continued towards her next goal. Two days later, Nangong Wenrui came to find Wen Yuxia with the contract he had signed with Xia Yichen.

"Mu Hua, I've given Xia Yichen the list of fundraising contacts you asked me to give him. This is his reply to you," Nangong Wenrui said, making Wen Yuxia question her existence from the very first sentence.

Within two days, Nangong Wenrui had signed the contract and returned to Rongzhou Prefecture. Yazhou Prefecture lay between Nanzhou and Rongzhou Prefectures, and Wen Yuxia couldn't understand how Nangong Wenrui had managed it.

Nangong Wenrui smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret. Perhaps one day I will tell you this secret."

The Nangong family's influence spans the entire continent, and Wen Yuxia felt it best not to know Nangong Wenrui's secrets. She gave a polite smile and said, "I don't pry into other people's secrets, so please don't tell me yours."

Nangong Wenrui shrugged nonchalantly, chuckling to himself, "When it's your turn to know, you won't have a choice but to listen."

After reading Xia Yichen's letter, Wen Yuxia took out a stack of blueprints from her handbag and explained them to Nangong Wenrui one by one: "This is beetroot, this is sugarcane, you can make brown sugar from either of them."

You have someone find the recipe according to the drawings... This is the method for making brown sugar, this is the recipe for honeycomb briquettes, and these are all methods for making pills.”

Nangong Wenrui listened and nodded. After Wen Yuxia finished speaking, Nangong Wenrui stuffed all the blueprints into his arms and then said in a low voice, "Muhua, take care!"

Watching Nangong Wenrui's departing figure, Wen Yuxia was slightly stunned. He was gone already. She opened her mouth and silently said, "Take care!"

As the days went by, Wen Yuxia spent three years expanding the "Fragrant Wine" branch to every county in Daxia.

Wen Yuxia discovered that Daxia was much larger than she had imagined. It would take her more than two years to travel all over Daxia on horseback, and it was clearly unrealistic to deliver goods to the agents in each county once a year.

So, while looking for agents, Wen Yuxia began to systematically purchase farms in each state capital to grow fruit and build workshops.
