Because of the spirits, the meal was very pleasant.

"Virtuous nephew, since this device is easy to use, there are still five or six empty rooms at home, make more of this device tomorrow, and make a strong bar together!"

Jing Zhe nodded, this was exactly what he thought.

"Virtuous nephew, according to your estimates, how many spirits can be made in a day?"

Jing Zhe thought for a while and said, "From morning to night, forty or fifty altars should be about the same." ”

"Forty or fifty altars..."

Zhang Xuexian muttered two sentences, a little lost.

He has now lost a thousand taels of silver, and if he only has forty or fifty jars of liquor a day, when will he be able to make up for the loss? Not to mention making money.

Jing Zhe looked at his expression in his eyes and said with a smile: "I heard that the ice wine in Jingzhou City is sold for five hundred wen in a bowl?" ”

Zhang Xuexian nodded.

"Ice wine is not the only one in Jingzhou, which can still be sold at such a high price, and the spirits that can only be drunk by relying on barbarian offerings, the price is more than that, right?"

Zhang Xuexian's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood.

Compared with the price of ice wine, it is not an exaggeration to sell a bowl of spirits for one tael or even higher, and that jar of spirits can not be sold for four or five taels?

You can earn three or four hundred taels of silver a day, thinking about it like this, Zhang Xuexian couldn't suppress his excitement, "Since that's the case, then let's start making wine tomorrow, and I'll go out to sell it the day after tomorrow!" ”

Jing Zhe looked at him and shook his head, "This liquor is not in a hurry to sell. ”

"Not in a hurry?"

Zhang Xuexian almost said "I'm in a hurry".

"Uncle, don't be impatient. The prince of Jin obviously intended to target the Zhang family, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us outside, if he knows first that we will make spirits, and use some means behind his back, how can this spirits be sold? ”

Zhang Xuexian nodded solemnly, and at the same time was a little unwilling: "Then what should we do?" ”

"If my uncle can trust me, this matter is on me!"

The spirits were all made by him, and Zhang Xuexian had no reason to distrust him, nodding frequently.

After eating, Jing Zhe slipped out with Hanhan in the name of "inspecting the market" and disappeared into the night of Jingzhou.

……

The words are divided into two ends.

When Jing Zhe arrived at Zhang Xiaoyu's house, there was a fierce debate going on in the court of Anguo.

On the Jinluan Palace, the early dynasty, which should have ended as early as the end of the day, has been delayed by several hours.

Today, Emperor An, the son of Anguo, is sitting on the dragon chair, his face is gloomy and melancholy, the voice above the court is noisy, and the civil and military officials are arguing about something.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the intention of the three princes of Southern Qi to come to Jingzhou this time is not only for exchanges, they want to use the name of exchanges to severely defeat the spirit of our Anguo literati and military generals, and their hearts can be punished!"

A young official stepped forward and said.

The noisy voice in the court paused, and everyone looked at the young imperial history like fools, the intention of the three princes of Nanqi to come to Jingzhou with envoys is well known, and you need to pretend to be here?

Is this brain still a royal history?

Go home and farm!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is a friendly approach! The Southern Qi Dynasty is now strong in military strength, and among the four countries around our country, their strength should be the strongest, which can be seen from the recent battle between them and Yue on the border! ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials in the court were silent, and the development of the Southern Qi Dynasty in recent years is obvious to all, especially the combat effectiveness of the army, and the two Anguo are afraid that they are not as good as them.

Hearing this, everyone was even more apprehensive, if the Yue country was replaced by an country, could it win?

The old man who spoke was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "The eldest prince of Southern Qi died young, the second prince was weak and sickly, and only the third prince was the most favored by the emperor of Southern Qi.

I heard that the three princes of Southern Qi, Wen Taowu, are proficient in everything. In the year of the weak crown, it is difficult to have an opponent in Nanqi, and in recent years, he has studied the art of war. ”

After a pause, he continued: "And I heard that these three princes are dignified and extraordinary, if the princess really marries, it will not be a good thing..."

Before the "thing" could be spoken, it was rudely interrupted by a person next to him-

"The surname is Bai, are you a lobbyist for the three princes of Southern Qi? If he is so good, will you marry your girl? Oops, I forgot, you old bird can't even give birth to a child! ”

Unexpectedly, the simple court dispute turned into a personal attack in an instant, and the gray-bearded old man pointed at the rough man who spoke with a trembling finger, and he was speechless with anger!

"Your Majesty!"

He thought about it, he really had nothing to say to such a wilderness man, so he could only ask An Di for help.

"Bai Aiqing, you step down first......"

The long-bearded old man stopped talking, glanced at the man who was scolding him, snorted coldly, and retreated.

"Zhu Aiqing, do you have any suggestions?"

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the crowd, who was the current prime minister, who was the same as the prime minister, and he was talking about everything.

"Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, looking at the affairs of all countries, no country has achieved prosperity through harmony. How long can peace and relatives ease state affairs? A year? Two years? And what about eight or ten years from now? Harmony is only a means, not an end, in exchange for only a short period of peace! I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

"I hope Your Majesty thinks twice!"

Zhu Tong's identity is not low, and as soon as the words fell, he received a response from nearly half of the people in the court.

"Not bad!"

An Di seemed to be waiting for this answer, and looked at Zhu Tongtong, his eyes full of relief.

The old man surnamed Bai before was called Bai Qingyuan, who was the Taifu of Anguo, and stood up again at this time: "Your Majesty, I wish the prime minister what he said that the old minister also understands, but have you ever thought that if you don't get along, you won't even have a short period of peace!" ”

An Di frowned, a little displeased, but more helpless and self-blame.

That's his favorite only daughter!

Although he is a father, he is also the monarch of a country, he can't just think about himself, but for the people in the world!

As a father, he wants to exchange his daughter's happiness for the people's peace and contentment, and no one can understand his pain.

Seeing Emperor An's hesitation, Bai Qingyuan came out again and said: "Your Majesty, the Southern Qi is now strong in national strength, and after fighting with the Yue Kingdom, it will recuperate and recuperate, and there is a tendency to go north, so I can't hesitate!" ”

"I know!"

An Di glanced at him, there was some anger in his eyes, Bai Qingyuan saw it in his eyes, but he didn't have much fear.

"Today's morning dynasty is here, it's been open for so long, presumably all of you Aiqing are also tired, go back and rest!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the matter of harmony..."

Bai Qingyuan was still unwilling, but he saw Emperor An standing up and walking towards the inner hall, waving his hand as he walked.

"I still have to discuss this matter with Mochen."
