He has a spatial ability and saves three children on his escape route.

Chapter 182 Treasure Pavilion

After driving away the Wang Ping and Wen family, Wen Yuxia instructed Steward Li to no longer pay attention to their situation or provide them with any necessary assistance.

After storing the fruit wine and liquor from the western warehouse into her spatial storage, Wen Yuxia led Nan Yi and the others to deliver the fruit wine to the four county towns of Tinghui, Weishui, Wuji, and Hongchang.

In Hongchang County, Wen Yuxia ran into Xia Yichen, who was inspecting the construction progress on the river. In a good mood, she said, "Brother, the person in charge of raising funds in Hanyang County is Boss Xue. Remember to contact him when you go to Hanyang County. The person in charge of raising funds in Guchuan County is Boss Gu..."

To sell Wen Yuxia's fruit wine and liquor, Boss Xue has partitioned off a shop space from the Joyful Tavern and is decorating it according to the blueprints provided by Wen Yuxia. He estimates that the renovation will be completed in another five or six days.

Xia Yichen went to Hanyang County; he can simply go to the "Fragrant Wine Hanyang County Branch" to find someone.

Xia Yichen smiled back at her, "Mu Hua, you're really amazing. In just a few months, 'The Fragrance of Wine' has spread all over Yazhou Prefecture."

In "The Aroma of Wine," Xia Yichen invested in the shop, owning a 10% stake. If he only had one tavern in the capital, Xia Yichen wouldn't earn much money.

Now, Wen Yuxia is developing distributors in various counties, and the sales of her fruit wine and liquor are soaring. The book "The Fragrance of Wine," which was once considered a useless book, has now brought Xia Yichen considerable profits.

Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile, "Brother, this is the list of people who raised funds in the thirty-two counties of Yazhou Prefecture. This is the information of the distributors of brown sugar, pills and honeycomb briquettes in Yazhou Prefecture. This is the deposit paid by the distributors. The balance will be paid upon delivery. I have already written to Brother Jinxuan to ask him to ship the goods."

Without exception, the leaders who raised funds for the river widening project were all fruit wine distributors recruited by Wen Yuxia, the brown sugar distributor was Zhouji Grocery Store, the pill distributor was Baicaotang, and the honeycomb briquette distributor was Zuixianlou.

Xia Yichen was somewhat puzzled: "It doesn't seem very appropriate for Zuixianlou to be a distributor of honeycomb briquettes!"

Wen Yuxia said somewhat embarrassedly, "I forgot that Fu Bao's maternal grandfather's family also runs a pharmacy. They signed an agency agreement with Baicaotang directly in Yazhou Prefecture, so they gave the honeycomb briquette agency to Zuixianlou."

Xia Yichen laughed and said, "Restaurants have a large demand for honeycomb briquettes, so it makes sense for Zuixianlou to be their distributor."

"Hehe, that's what I think too. It's better to stick with what you know than to do something new," Wen Yuxia said with a smile, taking out ten contracts from her handbag. These were the contracts she had signed with Li Wancai for the distribution of honeycomb briquettes and pills.

Nanzhou Prefecture, Yazhou Prefecture, Binzhou Prefecture, Jiangzhou Prefecture, and Zhezhou Prefecture—all five of these prefectures had both Zuixianlou and Renhetang. Wen Yuxia, wanting to save trouble,

They directly signed contracts with Zuixianlou for the honeycomb briquettes distribution rights in these five prefectures. Except for Yazhou Prefecture, where Baicaotang was the pill distributor, Renhetang was the pill distributor for the other four prefectures.

Wen Yuxia signed the agency agreement with Li Wancai because of Fu Bao. Having lived in the capital for years, Fu Bao knew her social status was far inferior to Wen Yuxia's and had never visited the princess's residence to catch up with the siblings.

He only had his mother, Li Xiuwan, relay a message once, saying that he would visit Wen Yuxia and her brother at the Princess's residence after he passed the imperial examination. Fu Bao's father, Li Chengzhi, also did not use Fu Bao's name to try to get close to Wen Yuxia.

Li Wancai treated Fu Bao's family very well; helping Li Wancai was helping Fu Bao. That's why Wen Yuxia violated regulations by signing agency agreements for several states to Li Wancai.

Fu Bao was Xia Yichen's savior, and given the circumstances, Xia Yichen wanted to help Fu Bao out: "Fu Bao, it's fate that we met back then. Why don't we sign the brown sugar distributorship for these four states to Li Wancai?"

"Okay," Wen Yuxia's slightly upturned lips betrayed her good mood.

The next morning, Wen Yuxia instructed the manager of Zuixianlou to invite Li Wancai to Hongchang County to sign a brown sugar distributorship contract with Xia Yichen. She then led Nan Yi and the others to the next prefecture.

The Great Xia Dynasty has a total of 108 prefectures, each with a county under its jurisdiction ranging from a dozen to twenty or thirty people. It would take her several years to find agents on her own.

Finding distributors to promote the fruit wine to every county in Daxia was Wen Yuxia's ideal. She was full of enthusiasm, her eyes fixed firmly on the city wall ahead.

Rongzhou Prefecture was her destination. Upon entering the city, she heard that wealthy merchants often gathered at an antique shop called "Baoquge" to enjoy tea and admire antiques.

Wen Yuxia led the city's first-class citizens straight to Baoqu Pavilion. Baoqu Pavilion was a three-story building. The first and second floors were open to vendors who could set up stalls as long as they paid rent. The third floor had no sales area and was only accessible to Baoqu Pavilion employees.

The crowd, who were admiring and discussing the antiques, all cast curious glances at Wen Yuxia, who was standing at the front, when a strange woman entered.

Wen Yuxia wasn't intimidated at all. She found an empty seat and sat down, then asked Nan Yi to find a shopkeeper at Baoquge to rent a stall for the day. She then took out fruit wine, baijiu (Chinese liquor), brown sugar, honeycomb briquettes, and pills and displayed them on the table.

Students from North 1 and North 2 volunteered to act as guides, introducing the benefits of various fruit wines to the onlookers.

"Tch, I thought it was something valuable, but it's just a wine shop. Young lady, this is an antique shop; you've come to the wrong place!" A man dressed in silk robes approached, laughing loudly.

Wen Yuxia calmly said, "The wooden sign at the entrance doesn't say that those renting stalls here must sell antiques. It only says that stalls can be rented annually, monthly, or daily. Sir, if your eyesight isn't good, go look at the entrance a few more times."

The man was getting angry. "I've been a regular at Baoqu Pavilion for decades and I've never seen anyone selling drinks here. You, you, waiter, throw this woman out!"

The man's surname was Liu. He was the father-in-law of the prefect of Rongzhou. Calling him the prefect's father-in-law was a bit of a stretch; to be precise, he was the father of the prefect's favorite concubine, the thirteenth concubine.

The owner of Baoquge was someone even the prefect of Rongzhou dared not offend, so the staff at Baoquge didn't take the old man surnamed Liu seriously.

The shop assistant who had rented the stall to Wen Yuxia walked over with a stern face and said coldly, "Master Liu, please forgive me, but Baoqu Pavilion has no precedent for kicking out stall owners. I dare not make an exception, and I hope Master Liu will understand."

The man surnamed Liu was somewhat embarrassed. He angrily pointed at a pair of jade ruyi and said, "Boss Wen, if you can determine whether these items are genuine or not, I will not only approve of your stall here, but I will also become the first customer to buy your drinks."
