But he quickly realize they were running out of funds. His mother spend a lot of her savings to increase his const.i.tution. They were far from poor but also far from point where money becomes power.

First he wanted to make fire arms. But after playing with sulfur and other flammable powders and burning his eyebrows he was forbidden from buying anything flammable. Even his night lamps where changed to luminous pearls which put more pressure on concubine lins slim purse. Also once he recovered from Burns he received his first spanking.

After that he made electric fan. He thought it would work but than he did"nt know how to make a battery and eunuch refused to buy chemicals he described. Finally he tried to make electricity with generator but fan didn"t move and was electrocuted for his efforts and end up in bed again a spanking followed.

He still didn"t gave up and took a page from his favorite book "A man from tang dynasty". He tried to make maxi-pad. This time he wasn"t hurt but......Concubine Lin spanked him so hard he was in bed for a week, women were just not progressive in this place ling tian cursed while resting . He tried to make perfume but destroyed his mothers favorite dress yup spanked again. He started to doubt if he was not a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t. After careful consideration he realized his 10 year old brain was f.u.c.king with his 40 years old intellect. He was not a f.u.c.king MIT engineer. Those transmigration dramas was f.u.c.king with readers. Who in the f.u.c.k in modern society normally knows how to make gun powder unless you are working in the field. Even if you know how to use a gun most people will not know how the bullets are made.He was an MBA and good business man. He should cash on that.


When he was feeling down and out his sister come to visit. The moment Ling xue entered the room, the room seemed to brighten. Her face resembled her mother"s, especially the shape. However, they differed greatly in terms of temperament. Her mother had a gentle, attractive, and charming appearance. Ling Xue had a sharp, cold face and was as beautiful as a flower. They both had extraordinary appearances. Her mother"s eyes were pretty like water while Ling Xue"s eyes were sharp like a winter night, making people feel unworthy. Her mother had a rosy complexion. Her skin looked peachy. Ling Xue"s skin was white and was the epitome of the phrase "perfect snow-white skin." Her body wasn"t as voluptuous as her mother"s, but she was"nt lacking either and had a pair of beautiful legs, which made her figure look more amazing. Her mom had a delicate nose, while Ling Xue"s looked like it was carved from jade, filled with her strong personal determination. She had support of queen dowager so she was a little uptight and proud. Her nose was in the air and didn"t even noticed when Ling Tian took her measurement with his eyes. She brought wine which was bestowed by queen dowager and was suppose to be very expensive. Being a kid he didn"t came in contact with wine yet. But since it was bestowed by by queen dowager she was also given a small cup.

That was the eureka moment. Wine in this world were made from very expensive hearbs and fermented for long time as there was no distillation process. Cheap commoner wine was nothing better than beer. That"s why people could drink by the bucket. In his past life Tisha was fan of wine and he too learnt some from her. After his sister left. He bought some common fruits and ferment them for a month, after distilling and mixing with some expensive herbs known for fragrance. he with great reluctance mixed his qi supplementing pill in it. He had invested every penny he had even used puppy eyes to extort whatever he can from his mother. If his mother came to know he used his qi supplementing pill this way he will be spanked till nothing was left to spank. He only get one per month as other price get 3 pills every month. This pill was lowest type of qi supplement pill. But it was still very expensive one pill was worth 120 gold in market. One commoners family only made an average of 100 silver a year and 1 gold was equal to 100 silver as 1 silver was equal to 100 copper. It was the common currency.

After knotowing to every deity he could think of he took a sip. He jumped from joy. He finally succeeded in making wine. His wine was high in alcohol content. Taste was good and aroma was fabulous. He made 111 bottles from it of same size his sister brought. After pleading for half a day concubine Lin finally let him go to the city. Lin Tian didn"t disguise or anything as he knew no matter what he do people will recognize he was a kid. He went to auction house and demanded to see the manger. No matter what he was still a prince so he was welcomed . Manger was a old man he was curtious but not overly polite. Auction was not a local power instead it was part of Auction Union which has auction houses all over the world. Ling Tian lied that he got some wine and want to auction it in their next auction. Manger was a little confused and want to polity refused when he saw the bottle was not any famous brand but when Ling Tian opened the cork. Room was filled with fragrance. Manager Lu was a aficionado of wine himself and was jolted awake. He s.n.a.t.c.hed the vat and took a sniff then took a jade cup from somewhere and poured some out wine was crystal clear. When he took a sip he even felt some qi in there. Because of distillation he can"t tell which herb was used to brew it. But by its strong taste and alcohol content he was sure it was aged at least 100 years.

His eyes become sharp and asked is the wife came from his mothers clan. Ling Tian was a little surprised by managers reaction but he kept him self in check and just smiled. Manager Lu was and old fox right away ordered maid to bring his best tea for the prince to sample. When Ling tian asked him about price. Old Lu told him there was no better wine in mortal grade then this. Old lu wanted to buy it from him for 100 gold a pot. But Long Tian was also a businessman from earth and knew if he was offering 100 gold then it was worth at least double. He told him. He want to auction 100 vats and told him to to use 10 vats for publicity. Auction House will be given 10% instead of 5% but source of wine must be kept secret. Old Lu knew the wine will sell like hot cakes as most of rich people have this hobby of collecting and drinking expensive wine and in capital there was no deficiency of rich people.

He wanted to increase the number of bottles but Ling tian told him he have more but wasn"t planing on selling them. Finally to inspire him for success he gave him the bottle he brought as gift. Old Lu was not slow and after prince delivered him the wine he divided 10 bottles into 50 and send as a sample to most distinguish people in the city with a invitation to auction in 10 days. List included some ministers too. soon the whole upper cla.s.s was buzzing with the news. Old General even came to auction house demanding more samples. Some merchant who didn"t made the cut for sample caused a ruckess in the auction house. If Auction house wasn"t a part of huge conglomerate. It would have been ransacked long ago.

Actually Long Tian underestimated the power of wine in this world where there was no TV or radio. Where people cultivate and drink for relaxing. Most upper cla.s.s went nuts for the wine. when they came to know there will be 100 bottles sold in 10 batches. Many vowed to buy a batch some small merchant even formed groups in hope of getting a bottle each.
