[2] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

"Why didn't you sell these wines?" she asked.

"If you lower the price, there should still be people who will buy it."

Those at the northern border were valiant people, and there were many who liked to drink.

There were also tribes from the grasslands who often came to buy wine.

If the price was lowered by a few percent, there would always be people who would buy it.

It was better than holding back the stock.

She knew that the Tu family had poached a few of the winemakers the Fang family had hired.

These masters had even taken the Fang family's winemaking techniques with them.

After that, the Tu family found a few people to pretend that something had happened after drinking the Fang family's wine, and even let someone die from it.

This ruined the Fang family's winery's reputation, and Fang Zhijun's father was even taken to prison for a period of time.

If her young husband had not been appointed as the magistrate and released him, who knew how long his father would have been locked up?

However, when he returned, he was so angry that he fell ill.

"I was thinking of selling the rest of the wine at a low price." Fang Zhijun said with a bitter smile.

"If we put it out for sale, many people would want to buy it, but the Tu family bribed some local ruffians to cause trouble. They will beat up whoever dares to buy our wine."

"I went to report it to the officials, but the former magistrate didn't dare to care at all and played deaf and mute. Other than cutting off our escape route, the Tu family also wants to buy the rest of our wine at a low price."

"When the time comes, they can make a lot of money from a resale." he continued.

If they bought the wine at a lower price and sold it at the original price, the Tu family could make a fortune without much effort.

That was why they had ruined their wine sale.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qingluo frowned.

"The Tu family is too overbearing and shameless."

They simply didn't give the Fang family a way out, blocking their family's survival.

They could only choose to sell everything to the Tu family, but they would also lose the accumulated results of the family's business over the years.

The key was that these tactics were too dark.

If the Tu family defeated the Fang family in winemaking and crushed them openly, it could only be said that the Fang family's skills were inferior.

However, the Tu family's wine was not much better than the Fang family's wine.

They used their family history to dominate the largest market in the northern border, and they even suppressed others with dirty tactics.

They were really shameless.

Fang Zhijun nodded in agreement. "That's right. I heard that the reason why the Tu family knew how to make wine was that they stole the recipe from a wine-making family in the previous dynasty."

Otherwise, the Tu family's wine making history wouldn't have been as long as the Fang family's.

Shi Qingluo's impression of the Tu family was even worse.

"It's alright. This time, we'll give them a taste of their own medicine."

Fang Zhijun nodded. "I'll support you fully."
