"Someone!"

Yelu Zongde commanded, "Give the concubine wine." ”

The palace man brought the wine jug over, and was about to pour it into the cup, but was stopped by Shu Lu, she took the wine jug, glanced back at Yelu Zongde, and immediately lowered her long eyelashes, and with a light smile on her red lips, she poured the wine into the gilded bowl next to her hand, and drank it all in one fell swoop.

"Ahem!"

The wine was too strong, Shu Lu's cheeks were red with choking, and even his eyes were oozing mist, but when he raised his eyes to look at Yelu Zongde, he could barely smile.

Yelu Zongde saw that his heart was about to melt, and he completely ignored the fact that everyone in the hall was still there, and only looked at her stupidly, without blinking a moment.

Queen Xiao didn't say a word, but the smell of blood under the root of her teeth, mixed with the inexplicable sourness in her mouth, made her have an irrepressible urge to gag.

However, this strong disgust spread to the face, but it turned into a slight eyebrow raise.

- "Someone,"

Sitting on the left side of Yelu Zongde is the Queen Mother Xi Yebe. She lightly ordered: "Give the queen wine." ”

The Empress was stunned, then gave the Empress Dowager a grateful smile - for whatever purpose, she had finally saved herself.

The Queen Mother didn't smile, and nodded lightly at her: "Solo Lele, how can you be as happy as everyone else?"

Yelu Zongde was pulled back to his thoughts by the Queen Mother's words, he shook the wine in the bowl, stared at the transparent water color with brown eyes, frowned and said: "Why do the best things in the world come from the Song ......" took a sip of it, and sighed self-deprecatingly: "Don't be angry, really teach people not to be angry!"

"My horses, cattle and sheep in Da Liao, how can I not be envied by the Song people. The Queen Mother glanced at Yelu Zongde and accentuated her tone: "Why should Your Majesty be arrogant?"

Yelu Zongde seemed to feel his mother's displeased gaze, took a sip of wine, swallowed his anger, turned his head and said with a smile: "The queen mother has taught her a lesson." ”

The fourth prince, Yelu Cong, rolled his eyes, raised his thin eyebrows, and saw that the atmosphere was not very gentle, so he took the opportunity to open the topic and said: "Grandmother and father, since Ma Qiu wine can be brewed by the Song Kingdom, how can I not brew it in Daliao?"

"Well......" Yelu Zongde only thought that he was saying nice things, but did not take it to heart.

"The filial piety firm that transported the Maqiu wine to my Daliao for sale, and its principal is the uncle of Erchen. ”

Yelu Zongde looked sideways at Shulu.

The fourth prince, Yelu Cong, is the most handsome among the princes, and even some of them are feminine and charming, like his mother. His mother's concubine is also surnamed Shulu, who is the former imperial concubine Shulu's family, and after about three years ago, the Shulu family sent a concubine in the second room into the palace, which is the current Huifei Shulu's.

Shu Lu nodded: "The person in charge of the filial piety business is the concubine and brother, and his name is Shu Lu Tie Chira. ”

Without thinking, Yelu Zongde said to Yelu Cong, "You tell me carefully. ”

"Along with Ma Qiu Wine, there is also a 'cooperation agreement'. ”

"'Cooperation agreement'?"

"It's a ...... contract"

Yelucong told Zhan Xiaoyi what he told him.

……

Therefore, the government accounts for 30% of the profits, Xiaoyi Firm is responsible for the expenses of brewing, sales and other general affairs, accounting for 50% of the profits, and Babao Liquor is responsible for providing the secret recipe for brewing, accounting for 20% of the profits. ”

After two quarters of an hour of talking, Yelucong finished the contents of the contract, and poured a mouthful of horse fur wine with thirst, so that he choked and coughed, but his internal organs were burning with pleasure.

Such a good thing will definitely sell well in Daliao, and the treasury will increase greatly at that time, how can it not be a great credit?

Thinking about it, he became more and more excited, and the corners of his mouth did not curl slightly.

Yelu Zongde stretched out his index finger and tapped lightly on the table, without saying a word.

After a long time, he asked, "If I'm not mistaken, Song Guo can't drink alcohol, right?"

The government strictly restricted the private brewing and self-sale of liquor, and the government monopolized the benefits of the government, unified winemaking, and unified sales to fill the treasury.

Yelucong replied, "What my father said is exact. The Song State implemented the liquor tax system, opened a ban on liquor, and the people obtained the permission of the government to brew and sell liquor, and the liquor tax was 30%. ”

"Well...... Yelu Zongde hesitated: "In other words, the profit in the contract is 30%, and the essence is the liquor tax......"

If this contract is agreed, it will be a disguised change to the liquor tax system.

"Father, I'm afraid there will be fraud!"

The second prince, Ye Luchi, lost no time in speaking: "As far as Erchen knows, this Maqiu wine is different from ordinary wine, and it consumes a lot of grain and rice...... Erchen is afraid that this is a trick of the Song State. ”

Yeluchi's mother is the noble concubine Xiao, who has been bedridden for many years and did not attend the banquet at the moment.

Although they are all surnamed Xiao, they can't be regarded as a maiden family with the queen.

This starts from the beginning of the founding of the Khitan.

When they were still nomadic tribes, the Khitans did not have surnames. Later, Abaoji of the Yelu clan of the Diera tribe established a state, so he took his tribal name as a surname. After that, the dignitaries of the two tribes of Oga and Harukan also followed, and they were called "Sanyalu". At the same time, because Abaoji admired Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, he also claimed his surname "Liu". For the ministers of the Shenmi clan who assisted him in establishing the country and becoming emperor, Yelu Abaoji praised them and said, "You are all my Xiao He." Therefore, they were given the surname "Xiao". The Shenmi clan is divided into two clans, namely Bali and Otomuroji, which are called "Second Trial Secrets".

The queen is from the Xiao family of the Bali tribe, and the concubine is from the Xiao family of the B family.

When Yelu Zongde heard this, he was silent.

He felt that Yeluchi was reasonable, but he was always unwilling to give up - as Yelucong said, why can the Song Kingdom make such a fine wine, and Da Liao can't make it!

On the contrary, it was Yelu Cong, who raised the matter, he saw that his father was persuaded by Ye Lu Chi, in order to avoid getting into trouble, he frowned, and then bowed his head and said respectfully: "Actually...... It was the cousin's uncle who had been with his son for a long time, and he swore that this matter would be beneficial to the court and would not do any harm, so the son believed him...... If it is really as the second emperor brother said, there is fraud in it, then the bento son has not mentioned it. ”

In a few words, the responsibility will be completely removed.

Shu Lu despised his coldness, and looked at him with round eyes.

Jerodon looked away, ignoring her gaze.

Yelu Zongde was unaware of all this, and poured wine one after another, never making up his mind.

For a long time, it was the Queen Mother who broke the silence - "Ah Jiu, what do you think?"

The one called "Ah Jiu" is a beautiful girl, sitting in the lower seat next to the Queen Mother.

She was only twelve or thirteen years old, but she wore a prince's attire - an indigo blue Yunxiang talisman robe, and a rhino horn belt was tied around her waist. What distinguishes her from the princes is that she does not have hair, but a square bun like a Song man, and inserts a double flute.

The end is heroic.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Erchen wanted to ask the Fourth Emperor Brother a question. "Ah Jiu" replied.

During the banquet, the Queen Mother kept her expression cold, but she only looked at "Ah Jiu" lovingly: "But it's okay to ask." ”

"Fourth Emperor Brother, how much does this Maqiu wine cost in the Song Kingdom? If the filial piety firm sells it in Daliao, what is the price?"
