"There are three kinds of Maqiu wine sold in the Song Kingdom, the small pot of five taels of wine costs 80 yuan, the price of a catty of eight taels of Xiaocheng is 300 yuan, and the price of three catties of Dacheng is 500 yuan. Yelucong did not doubt that he was there, and replied truthfully: "If it is sold in Daliao...... The distance is far away, and there are some additional carriage and horse expenses, and besides......" He paused, and finally said: "Because the imperial court practices the system of drinking and drinking, it cannot be sold in a grand manner, and it is necessary to add some expenses layer by layer......"

What Jerodonium said about "spending a little bit", everyone knows in their hearts.

"So, what is the estimated selling price of Shulu Tiechira?"

"Ah Jiu" continued to ask.

Yelucong sighed, and when he first heard the number of words to be spoken, he was also surprised: "The small pot is three hundred and fifty yuan, the small city is seven hundred yuan, and the big one is always two hundred yuan." ”

Shu Lu gasped and said in surprise: "It's more than three times!"

"Ah Jiu" asked again: "If it is according to the method of the contract, what is the price?"

"Using local materials and brewing with the grain and rice of Daliao, it can barely be reduced to the same price as the Song Kingdom, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be too far behind. ”

"Ah Jiu" was silent in thought, his picturesque eyebrows were slightly light.

After a long time, she bowed her hand to Yelu Zongde: "Dare to ask my father, do you think this wine is okay in Daliao?"

"Such a strong wine," said Yelu Zongde, who poured another large sip of Ma Qiu wine, and exclaimed, "It is in line with the personality of my Khitan man! Not without regret, he said: "It's a pity to give it to those weak scholars of the Song Kingdom." ”

"Since this is the case, whether it is official or smuggling, the people will buy it," "Ah Jiu" carefully analyzed: "At that time, the people bought this wine at a high price, and the money of Da Liao kept flowing to the Song Kingdom...... It would be better than according to this contract, the government will collect 30% of the profits, and the people can buy wine at a low price. ”

Yeluchi immediately retorted: "If there is a shortage of grain and rice due to winemaking, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Second Emperor Brother," "Ah Jiu" sighed and patiently persuaded: "Wouldn't the Song people buy grain and rice from Da Liao to make wine? The Song people bought the grain and rice of the Da Liao peasant households at a high price, and then sold it to the Liao people at a higher price......

Not only Yeluchi, but everyone present was deep in thought.

Sitting not far away is the seventh prince Yeluqi, he is only a little older than "Ah Jiu", he has never been angry that she is the favor of the queen mother, and now he sees that he is out of the limelight, he is even more unhappy, a few sips of wine in his stomach, his brain is dizzy, and he blurted out: "Ah Jiu is naturally partial to the Song people." ”

He and Yelujun are compatriots, both of whom are from the Queen Xiao family. However, unlike his brother's cautious personality, Yeluqi has always had a fiery temper, and his mouth is even more like a decoupling from his brain, and he does not choose what to say.

The queen said that her heart was not good, and she hurriedly reprimanded: "Alugu, what are you talking nonsense! Quickly apologize to Ah Jiu!"

Yelu Qi turned his head away, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and snorted coldly: "Where did Erchen say something wrong?"

After thinking about it, he was still puzzled, and added: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!"

The queen and Yelujun were both pale, and the queen immediately got up, knelt in front of Yelu Zongde and the queen mother, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Concubines, concubines and godsons have no way, I hope the queen mother and Your Majesty will forgive your sins!"

The Queen Mother didn't answer her words, and leisurely turned the gem-encrusted gold finger cuff in her hand.

After a while, she said to Yelu in a deep voice: "Alugu, Ah Jiu still has half of the blood of Da Liao." ”

"So what?"

Before he could react, he only felt that his mother was making a big fuss. "Ah Jiu" is favored by the Queen Mother again, after all, she is just a princess, can she go past the prince?

"She has the other half of the Song Kingdom's blood, and her heart will be—"

- "Smack!" "Smack!"

The word "different" of "his heart must be different" was not spoken, and the queen had already stepped forward with an arrow and slapped him twice with her backhand.

How could he have ever been wronged like this? he covered his cheeks and looked at his mother in disbelief.

The queen didn't even give him a look, turned around and prostrated at the Queen Mother, and said while kowtowing: "Alugu is young and ignorant, the Queen Mother forgives her sins, forgives her sins!"

"Who qualifies you to forgive your sins?"

The Queen Mother looked at the queen coldly, and there was not a trace of temperature in her light brown eyes: "What about the mourning family, he is a barbarian who doesn't even have the slightest bit of Da Liao blood, a 'unknown origin' of the lustful eye, and a female slave of Xi Yebe's department...... What qualifications does the mourner have to forgive his sins to others?"

The queen's entire back was soaked with cold sweat.

How cruel and bloody the open and secret battles in the harem are, she is in them, and she understands it best. The queen mother has gone from a very humble female slave to listening to the government and dictating the cadres to the end, how many daughters of big families in the harem of the first emperor, how many women who are like flowers and jade, and how many beautiful beauties who are smart in ice and snow, all drift away with the flowing water, but she is the only one who survives to the end.

Its means are extraordinary, and it speaks for itself.

Thinking of this, the queen was so anxious that her eyes were red, her brows furrowed, and she actually cried.

Yelu Zongde pursed the corners of his lips, raised his eyes to look at the gorgeous and delicate curtain on the top of the main hall, and felt angry in his heart.

He was tired of the empress's boredom and boredom, and he was even more disgusted with the empress dowager's interference.

"Mother, just do it in moderation. ”

After two bowls of wine strengthened his courage, Jerod Zongde spoke and persuaded him.

The Queen Mother half-narrowed her eyes and looked her son up and down.

The air seemed to freeze.

The people of the palace bowed their heads and remained silent, or turned their heads away, lest they be innocently implicated.

"Coming, Yeluqi is reckless and impulsive, speaks wildly, and slaps his mouth thirty. ”

In the end, it was Yelu Zongde who gave in first.

He glanced at the queen deeply, and there was both helplessness and undisguised disgust in his eyes: "The queen has no way to teach her son, and she will be punished for being grounded in Ningxin Palace for half a month." ”

As soon as the words fell, the palace people immediately stepped forward and acted according to the order.

There is no one who dares to speak.

Yelu Zongde took a breath, turned his head, forced a smile, and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, why be angry on such a festive occasion. ”

The Queen Mother gave a noncommittal "um", which was regarded as revealing the matter.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Yelu Cong smiled and said, "The emperor's grandmother is the mother of my father, and she is the supreme person of Daliao. The so-called 'mother's world', you are the mother of all the people of Daliao, the grandmother of all the Li people, what kind of 'bloodline' is not 'blood', isn't this too pedantic!"

The concubines, princes, and princesses echoed each other.

For a time, the hall was full of flattering voices of "Mother Rite World", "Queen Mother Wanfu", and "Long Live a Thousand Years".

Suddenly, it was lively.

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly at Yelucong: "Yao Gu'er is very smart. ”

Yelu Cheng gave his hand smugly: "Grandson Xie Huang's grandmother praised." ”

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's words were not finished, and there was still half a sentence that was not salty or light: "I will pick something good to say." ”

Yelucong was slightly stunned, neither was Shane, nor was he answered.

Awkward very.
