Chapter 399: Will Binzhou go to war again?
Wei Yunyi, who was busy, pointed at another little snowman and said, "Uncle, this is what I made. It's also called Yunyi. I'm awesome, right?"

"Correct."

Wei Chengyi obviously agreed more skillfully, but his attention soon shifted to the two largest snowmen in front of Shen Xiangwan, and he even sent a message to her: "Are they called Wei Chengyi and Shen Xiangwan? They happen to be a couple?"

"You have a nice idea!"

Turning her head and glancing at him with a smile on her face, Shen Xiangwan neither denied nor confirmed. Wei Chengyi looked at her with eyes filled with deep doting. For two people who truly love each other, just meeting at night is not enough. This is one of the reasons why he came back after arranging everything. He really missed her!

Shen Xiangwan not only gave the drawings to Zhao Dashan, but also to Zhou Changqing, asking him to carve the templates and print them in large quantities as quickly as possible. The next morning, Zhou Changqing personally delivered several stacks of printed drawings to the Wei family. Shen Xiangwan asked Yuan Xiu to send people to distribute them to various counties as soon as possible and give them to all the people in need.

In the next few days, snowflakes were still floating in the sky and the snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker. A large number of people were needed to clear the roads every day, but almost every household had a fireplace and they were no longer shivering in the cold. They could barely withstand the sudden cold wave.

"Well, if necessary, we can open shops in Wuzhou, Tongzhou and other places, or expand to Jiangzhou and Luzhou in the south. We must sell more kimchi."

In the study on the second floor of the Wei family, Shen Xiangwan was discussing the sale of kimchi with Cheng Yusheng. After solving the problem of keeping warm for the people, government offices in various places quickly formed personnel and went deep into the villages to purchase kimchi from door to door. Since the sorghum wine workshops had stopped working, the shops in Jiaozhou and Mingzhou switched to selling kimchi, but having only two shops was obviously not enough. They needed to recover funds as soon as possible and use the money earned to buy the excess food in the hands of the people and solve the refugees' three meals a day. The only consolation was that after the heavy snowfall in Chenzhou began, the number of refugees pouring in finally decreased, and the burden on their shoulders was slightly lighter.

"I suggest expanding directly to the south. The further north you go, the colder the weather will be. Other prefectures are not like our Chenzhou. The government organizes people to clear the snow every day. Transportation will be the biggest problem. Even if there is the same amount of snow in the south, it should be better than in the north."

If they didn't have existing shops in Jiaozhou and Mingzhou, Cheng Yusheng would never have considered selling kimchi there as transportation was simply too inconvenient.

"Okay, you can handle these things. If it's convenient for you to check the accounts directly with Yuan Xiu, we will no longer sell sorghum wine on the 10th. Have you announced this?"

When it comes to doing business, Cheng Yusheng is the expert and Shen Xiangwan usually doesn't interfere too much. At present, all the sorghum wine that was still fermenting has been distilled, and she doesn't plan to sell the remaining sorghum wine that needs to be stored. She will keep it for use in the celebration banquet for the soldiers next year. Therefore, the shops in the county will also stop selling sorghum wine. As for kimchi, it is estimated that they cannot be sold in Chenzhou, and they are too lazy to bother with it.

"We've posted notices a long time ago. Our old customers have been going crazy these past few days. Restaurants and other places that need a lot of alcohol are asking us to ship in large quantities. I've tripled their supply, but they still think it's not enough. They come to my shop to find me every day. I'm almost annoyed to death by them."

Cheng Yusheng felt a buzzing pain in his head when talking about this. Unlike wine which only rich people can afford, sorghum wine has a huge audience. After learning that they would no longer sell it to the public on the 10th, everyone went crazy. The wine shipped from the village to the shop every day would be quickly sold out. These days, their shelves were empty. People who didn't know might think they were a newly opened shop and hadn't had time to put the goods on the shelves.

"Take away all the mature sorghum wine in the warehouse. Restaurants and other places that need large amounts of wine don't need to place any more orders. Sell as much as possible to the people." Shen Xiangwan had expected this to happen and was not surprised. However, she still insisted on giving priority to meeting the needs of the people. In such cold weather, drinking a few sips of sorghum wine from time to time is also a good way to keep warm.

"Ah."

Cheng Yusheng nodded, then laughed and said, "Madam, you don't know that the people were afraid that books and ointments would suddenly run out of stock, so they also started to scramble for them. It was not until we repeatedly assured them that at least before the New Year, the ointment shops and bookstores would not run out of stock that they became a little more rational."

"Not to mention the papermaking and printing workshops, by the beginning of next month at the latest, all the medicinal materials and spices for making ointments and soaps in the warehouse will be used up, and the ointment workshop will also be shut down. With our current inventory, we can only sell it until the middle of next month at the latest."

Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan pondered for a moment before saying that before the New Year, all the creams and soaps stored in the warehouse would be cleared out. As for when to resume work next year, it would depend on the situation. Yue Ruyan is basically in charge of the cream workshop, so let's see how she does it then.

"Ah."

Cheng Yusheng also agreed, and the two then discussed some issues about the sale of kimchi and determined their sales direction and other matters. About half an hour later, Cheng Yusheng got up and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to say hello to Wei Chengyi who was also handling government affairs in the study. After all, he was the real helmsman of the Wei family, and they all had to obey his orders.

"Binzhou is going to go to war again?"

After seeing off Cheng Yusheng, Shen Xiangwan walked over to sit next to Wei Chengyi and picked up the opened letter, which recorded the news that Binzhou was about to go to war again. The rumors spread by Wei Chengyi earlier played a significant role, causing the morale of the Binzhou army to become more unstable. You know, the soldiers also come from the people. The dog emperor and the court don't care about the lives of the people, so how can they be so brave and work for him?
On the contrary, the rebel army not only had high morale, but also received support from many people all over the country. Some people even secretly sent them money and food to support them in continuing to fight against the court. As a result, although the rebel army did not win the two battles in September and October, they survived tenaciously. It is said that the snow in Binzhou was more than 20 centimeters thick. Shen Xiangwan originally thought that they would not fight again this year, but he did not expect that the war would break out again there.

"Well, the imperial court urgently needs to completely suppress the rebels to prove that they are still strong and to suppress the princes and tyrants who are ready to make trouble. At the same time, it is also to warn the people who have been incited by rumors and have the idea of ​​uniting and overthrowing the imperial court."

The pressure has been completely put on the emperor and the court. If they fail to suppress the Binzhou uprising army, the world will probably be in chaos.
