"A great general commanding tens of thousands of troops should be rolling in wealth. Why are you living such a meager existence?" Liu Ye'er asked, filled with confusion. Li Geng sighed, "The imperial court has been withholding our rations, and my father refuses to exploit the common people. We have no choice but to live this frugal life." Liu Ye'er made up her mind to help this great general overcome his difficulties.
A bright idea struck her: the wine business. In that era, wine was a luxury item that only the nobility could afford. Liu Ye'er’s eyes lit up. "Brother Geng, you could try starting a business to supplement your military funds." Li Geng shook his head helplessly. "The men in the camp can talk about warfare with great eloquence, but when it comes to business, they are completely clueless."
Liu Ye'er said with full confidence, "It's actually quite simple. You just need to find a businessman to show you the way." "But who should we find?" Liu Ye'er smiled. "Isn't that simple? I'll do it." Li Geng was skeptical, but Liu Ye'er smiled. "Let’s talk more about this in detail tonight."
