Listening to this, the Queen Mother remembered Yang A's wine shop in Maoling, and looked at Yang A suspiciously, "Yang A, the mourning family thinks that what the giant monarch said is reasonable, as for the Marquis of Maoling, is it selfish?" ”

"Queen Mother, if you say that you don't have any selfishness, I don't believe it. But the Marquis of Maoling is not a person who does not know the importance of alcohol, the imperial court has not issued a ban on alcohol, and he has already begun to reduce production by himself. At present, the wine produced in the village is basically only enough to supply the army and the palace. ”

"Oh! This is also a problem. Alcohol is not only for people to drink, but also for the army, and even if it is banned, it cannot be banned all at once. The Queen Mother also pondered.

"What the Queen Mother said is very true! The prohibition of alcohol is not indiscriminate, and it is completely banned all at once. The main thing is that it is forbidden to sell, and brewing can be restricted or not completely banned. It can be implemented like salt and iron. Wang Mang saw that the queen mother hesitated, so he quickly made a suggestion. This is actually Wang Jingyan's suggestion, since salt and iron can be run officially, why can't wine?

"Good! It's a good idea! The official designated workshop brews, and the merchants are limited to selling. This will not only stabilize prices, but also reduce food consumption! The Queen Mother was overjoyed.

"Queen Mother, since this move is the suggestion of the giant monarch, why don't you appoint him to preside over it?" Liu Biao has been silent, listening to it for a long time, plausible.

"Well, just this charter, let Jujun do it!" The Queen Mother figured it out and put her mind at ease.

Yang Ah was stunned for a long time, she wanted to give Geng Xiaofan this opportunity, but she didn't discuss it in advance, and she couldn't figure out what Geng Xiaofan meant. After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't speak again.

"Yang, you're here today, but what's the matter?" The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, interrupting Yang A's thoughts.

"Queen Mother, Yonsei has been going to Bohai for more than four months, and a few days ago she sent a letter home, saying that she was feeling a little unwell. Erchen, Erchen wants to ask the Queen Mother for a favor, first order him to come back, or, or then entrust the minister to go. "Yang Ah started talking about his own business.

"Hey! Yonsei is also hard. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this time it seems that it is really embarrassing for him. However, he is the best at river work. Yang, who else but him can take on this heavy responsibility? The Queen Mother sighed.

"Queen Mother, the minister can recommend one person." Wang Mang interjected.

"You mean Geng Fan!" The Queen Mother saw through Wang Mang at a glance. Yang Ah was taken aback.

"Exactly! If there is anyone else who can take on this important responsibility, it is Geng Hou. Wang Mang saluted respectfully.

"His ability, the mourning family knows. It's just that in the current situation, I'm afraid he can't do anything. Since Yonsei was not in good health, he also worked hard in Bohai for several months, so he was ordered to return to Beijing to report on his work, and discuss it after the New Year! "The queen mother knows that Yang Ah feels sorry for her husband, and she can't help but give her face.

After the tenth month, near the end of the year, Wang Yanshi rushed back to Chang'an, and Yang A took him to Maoling in person.

It's almost the New Year, and I have to give some New Year's gifts to my in-laws, and there are many things I have to discuss with him.

"Hey, hey! Yonsei is back! I heard the news of your return yesterday, and I was about to come to the house to visit, but I didn't expect you to come first. Geng Xiaofan warmly greeted his in-laws.

"Fei'er, how exactly do you discipline your husband? Train this kid so well-behaved! Whether it's sincere or not, these words make people feel comfortable listening to it! Yang pulled Liu Fei'er's hand and laughed at Geng Xiaofan.

"Princess, how dare I discipline him! However, he is really sincere, you see, the gift list is ready, take a look, are you still satisfied? Liu Fei'er smiled happily, took the gift list from the maid's hand, and presented it to Yang'a.

"Hey! My dear Phil! Yang A took the gift list and looked at it, learned Geng Xiaofan's tone, and sighed, "Look at your gift list, I can't get anything for you!" ”

"The princess is here, and the humble house is shining, even if you come empty-handed, I am honored! Let me have a few drinks with Yonsei tonight! Geng Xiaofan took Wang Yanshi into the house.

"I came today to eat you and drink you, and I will definitely make you wish! However, there are a few things to discuss with you before drinking. Yang Ah also followed into the house.

A few people sat down, Yang Ah first talked about the prohibition of alcohol, and after a brief explanation, he complained, "I wanted you to take over this errand, but I didn't expect to be snatched away by Jujun." He is also talking about the Tao, I see, he has been prepared for a long time! ”

"He took the best, I don't bother to care! Besides, you think it's a good errand? If you do it well, you may not have any benefits, and if you can't do it well, it is a question of whether you can get out of it with your whole body. However, he has Jing Yan's sister behind his back, and he should be able to do it. Geng Xiaofan didn't care.

"Isn't it good?" Yang Ah didn't understand.

"Yes! Let me do it, it must be very beneficial. But according to the nature of the great king, he would not consider this. ”

"Do you think he's going to ban our liquor shop too?" Yang Ah asked.

"Do you think he dare?" Geng Xiaofan smiled.

"That's right!" Yang Ah also figured it out, "Looking at it this way, it's right that you don't participate, at least you avoid suspicion." ”

"Alright, let him be troubled! We just have to eat and drink well and live a good life. Ha ha! Geng Xiaofan smiled heartily.

"Mingzhao, there is also the matter of river workers, do you have any good solutions?" Wang Yanshi doesn't care about any winery, he has been troubled by river work these days.

"The river work is a hassle. The Yellow River, our mother river, has brought us so many blessings and disasters. Geng Xiaofan sighed, "This matter can't be solved once and for all, and it may not be solved in the next few hundred or even thousands of years." You've done well enough, don't be so burdened. At the moment, we can only use as much effort as possible to reduce the losses as much as possible. ”

"Oh!" Wang Yanshi's expression darkened.

"Don't be so downcast, govern the river, you are an expert. But you have to think clearly, and you have to treat both the symptoms and the root causes. The important thing at the moment is to treat the symptoms, but we must also consider the root cause, not just look at the immediate situation. You sort out the charter and think about how to cure it, of course, the process may take 10, 20 years, 100 years, thousands of years, but it has to be done. Start with you, make a charter, and let future generations have a follow-up. Do this well, and you can go down in history! ”

Geng Xiaofan encouraged.

Wang Yanshi listened silently and nodded incessantly.

Liu Fei'er couldn't help but speak, "Brother Fan, is the Yellow River really not cured?" Two thousand years can't be cured? ”

This time, she went back to the 21st century with Brother Fan, but the time was still too short, and she had never understood the situation of the Yellow River at all.

"Sooner or later, it will be cured!" Geng Xiaofan smiled, he knew that Fei'er was a little out of shape.

"Oh! Then you help Yonsei and let him cure the Yellow River, which is also a great achievement. Liu Fei'er also woke up, even if she wanted to know, she couldn't ask in front of so many people.
