Wan Baoshan did not echo everyone's laughter, took a sip of the Dalu wine that had been treasured for many years and continued: "The people of China like to drink this pure grain Dalu wine, but how many people know the origin of Dalu wine!" ”

"I want to hear about it!"

Wan Baoshan drained the wine in the bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "It is rumored that two hundred years ago, countries continued to fight every year, and the people were miserable. In order to make the soldiers defending the city fed, clothed and strong to resist foreign enemies, the people of a small village in the city spontaneously donated the only surplus grain and cotton clothes and quilts at home to the soldiers defending the city. But what he didn't expect was that the people in the village starved to death because they were hungry and unclothed, and those who froze to death, and the village couldn't even find straw mats to cover the bodies of their relatives, because they were all sent to the soldiers defending the city. In order to commemorate the village, the brewers in the city brewed this wine from pure grain and sold it to the surrounding people at a very low price, hoping that everyone could afford to drink this heart-warming wine. ”

Wan Baoshan looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Over the years, everyone has made a lot of money, and our food and clothing parents are also these poor people, and it's time to repay them." The prices of each family can be lowered a little, the people have a way to live, and we merchants will not starve to death, what do you think? ”

A table of people, you look at me, I look at you, and no one talked.

Wan Baoshan was not angry, he knew that it was as difficult as forcibly taking silver from their pockets to get these mercenary merchants to take the initiative to lower the price.

"It's a poignant story." The fat man said.

Wan Baoshan picked up the wine glass and said: "Let us pay tribute to these venerable people together, for their selfless dedication, for their great love, do it!" ”

"!" Everyone responded to the call and drank it all.

At the end of the dinner, after everyone left, the shopkeeper of the Qinbao Merchant Bank found Wanbaoshan, and when he saw that there was no one around, he cautiously asked: "President Wan, you give your brother a thorough explanation, is this Anjiang Association a big deal, the entire Annan Provincial Chamber of Commerce has implemented a strategy of encircling and blocking them for so many days, and I recently heard that their new store is about to open, it is really evil." And I heard that they only wiped out the Blue Dragon Gang overnight, how majestic Boss Zhao was at that time, left and right. ”

Wan Baoshan didn't answer positively, and said: "Brother, don't think about it, everything they do is for the benefit of the people, and the government doesn't care, how can we guess." ”

After the shopkeeper of the diligent goods firm left, Wan Baoshan called the righteous son Wan Guhai and instructed: "Gu Hai, inform the major shopkeepers of the Wanzi firm that the prices of all goods will be reduced by one percent on the original basis." Also, it's okay to accompany Xinliu more, you are not too young, I am anxious for you. ”

Finally, a fat man with a fat head and big ears couldn't help but say: "President Wan, with all due respect, even if we reduce the price, there are only a few purchase channels, and people don't reduce the price for us. ”

"yes, yes!" The crowd chimed in.

Wan Baoshan said with a smile: "It's not that you have to be forced to lower the price, it is your freedom to reduce or not, and someone will not force it." But from tomorrow, all the goods of my Wanzi Commercial Bank will be reduced in price by one percent, since he Anjiang will be able to do it, I will not be able to lag behind as the president of the Annan Provincial Chamber of Commerce. The common people have a scale in their hearts, and they will naturally be able to carry it clearly in their hearts who is good and who is bad. You have nothing to do, you can go out and listen to what the people of Annan Province say about the Anjiang Society, although it is a gang, it never oppresses the people, the price of goods is fair, but it is never short of catties or two, it is no wonder that people have developed so well in such a short time. ”

Wang Yongwen broke the silence and took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, the ministers have thought about it, but they still feel that Anli Chen Bing 100,000 at this time does not really want to start a war with us. ”

The Emperor let out an "oh" and motioned for him to continue.

"Among Yi Weichen, if the Anritsu people want to start a war with my Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry, they should not just gather these 100,000 people. It is no secret that there are 150,000 iron horsemen in China's northern Xinjiang country, and if you want to swallow northern Xinjiang in one go, unless the Anli people are crazy, they will definitely not only gather this 100,000 people. Wang Yongwen asserted.

Wan Guhai scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, a clumsy person like me, how can the eldest lady look at it, you still care about yourself, Madame has been gone for almost five years, and you don't plan to marry a room?" ”

"You stinky boy, as soon as I worry about you, you will pull it on me, see if I don't smoke you!" Wanbaoshan was about to fight, and the Wangu sea rabbit jumped out.

In the dead of night, the Qingyuan Hall was brightly lit, and Emperor Zhu Chengyuan had not slept all night from yesterday to now. Since being urgently summoned into the palace by His Majesty the Emperor last night, except for the two of them secretly squinting for a while this morning, the rest of the time has been staying by His Majesty's side to study the frontier topographic map and the northern Xinjiang urgent military report wrapped in brown paper.

The emperor smiled and said, "What did you think about this morning? But how did I see that you two were sleeping standing up in the morning? ”

Lai Si lowered his head and clenched his fists and smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister is also worried about military affairs while closing his eyes and recuperating, so think more clearly." ”

Wang Yongwen also clenched his fists and echoed: "So is the minister." ”

Lai Si also said at this time: "According to General Tang's letter, these 100,000 people only have cavalry, and there are no other siege weapons, and the minister also feels that this matter is strange. ”

Zhu Chengyuan thought for a moment, took out another secret report from the desk and handed it to the two of them, and said: "The inspector department reported to Anritsu's secret spy that Anliguo's hardliners were originally the main battle, but recently for some reason, they actually wore a pair of pants with those lords and ministers, not only did not mention the war, but even the arrogant and domineering temperament on weekdays was much more restrained, which is very strange. ”

Lai Si said: "This morning, the minister has been wondering if there is something wrong within An Liguo, and it is not difficult to see from the secret reports sent back from all sides that the conservatives who originally supported Zuo Xian Wang Wanyan Nu Khan and the hardliners who supported Youxian Wang Wanyan Chi suddenly went against the norm and no longer ate dogs, but there are signs that they have merged the two factions regardless of their previous suspicions, and it seems that they have reached a consensus. ”

", you two are still pretending to be noble in front of me." The Emperor laughed and scolded.

Lai Si continued: "Your Majesty, if it is really as the minister said, King Anritsu must be brewing something big. ”

The emperor stared at the map on the desk and suddenly asked a topic that had nothing to do with this matter: "What do you say about the alliance between An Liguo and Qingqiu Kingdom?" ”

Wang Yongwen replied: "According to the previous situation, if there is a war in Anli, Qingqiu will definitely help, whether it is silver or the army, Qingqiu has never been stingy." ”

The emperor smiled meaningfully: "This is Qingqiu to Anli, so what about Anli to Qingqiu?" ”
