After a group of maids and maidservants watched Qin Mubai like for a while, they also retreated with a smile.

"The idlers are gone, say, what do you want to do?" Qin Mubai sat down on the chair and asked while drinking tea.

"Yo, is it true that husbands and wives talk so bluntly?" Wu Meiniang grinned whimfully, holding the ball and slowly pacing around Qin Mubai, but she didn't speak.

Little girl, are you still fighting with me?

Qin Mubai couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but his face was still serious, and said, "I'm in office, I'm busy, I don't have time to spend time with you." Say, why did you send a brainless girl ring to make up a brainless lie and deceive me? ”

"Hmph, that's boring! You are not a good person at all, you are not as fun as Wu Yuanqing! Wu Meiniang seemed to be a little annoyed, threw the ball, stomped her feet and sat down beside Qin Mubai, but she turned her face away and didn't come to look at him.

"It's boring to throw in the towel so quickly." Qin Mubai drank tea and laughed hehe.

"You! …… Hmph, you guy! Wu Meiniang's little trick was exposed, and she felt very faceless, so she puffed out her mouth angrily.

"I know, how can your two stupid brothers still have the courage to bully your mother and daughter?" Qin Mubai smiled, "The result is not what I expected. Not only did they not dare to bully you anymore, but they became your slaves, obediently obeying and being bullied by you. Tell me, what kind of magic did you little demon girl do to them? ”

"Hmph, your idea is called strategy, is mine a demon law?" Wu Meiniang pursed her lips disdainfully, but there was a smug look on her face, and she said mysteriously, "Isn't it because I have a majestic backstage and grabbed their handle?" ”

"What's the handle?"

"Want to know?" Wu Meiniang smiled sheepishly, took a cup of tea and drank it slowly, and waited for a long time before saying, "I won't tell you!" ”

"It's okay if you don't tell me, I don't care, it's your own family affair." Qin Mubai said, "I just think that your family is always fighting infighting, is it interesting to fight back and forth?" They don't provoke you anymore, but you take the initiative to bully them. Isn't it fun? ”

"Qin Mubai !!" Wu Meiniang suddenly shouted, jumped up and pointed at him, and scolded angrily, "What kind of moral true monarch do you pretend to be in front of this girl!" Speaking of which, isn't it all because of you? ”

Qin Mubai wasn't angry, just a little stunned and surprised: "What's the matter with me?" ”

"Didn't you ask me to pretend to be a wicked person, pretend to be a demon girl, and do a lot of evil to make the emperor hate? I did it now, and you taught me the other way around, that you are not a man! Wu Meiniang scolded angrily, "The emperor likes a woman like Empress Changsun, she is filial, so I will be disobedient and bully my brother; She is virtuous and wise, and I will be domineering and unreasonable; She was reserved, I just *, and I also bought a bunch of Mei Ji back to accompany me to sing night after night; Not only that, but I also let them accompany me to sleep in the Spring Festival! ”

"Ugh! ......" The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth twitched a few times, and his eyes were a little straighter-Spring Festival in the same bed? Ground glass?

If it's not cowardly, it's not too much to bully people like Wu Yuanqing to make a show. With a group of beautiful ...... Bedmate*, I'm afraid that's a bit exaggerated.

*just*, if it were a man, it would be bad conduct at best; If this is a woman...... cough, my daughter-in-law's sexual orientation is wrong, but it's really a big head!

After a while, Qin Mubai's heart shone by, and he couldn't help but smile secretly: she is still an untrained little girl, that shouldn't be possible. This little girl is deliberately angry with me, and she almost fell victim to her way!

"Why don't you speak? Everything is contrary to the eldest grandson queen, and I am notorious, isn't this the result you want? Wu Meiniang said indignantly, "You should be very satisfied, and praise me a lot, right?" ”

"Mei Niang, having said that, you also have to be in a sense of proportion, right? You haven't been through the door yet, and you're ...... with a bunch of women Where do you put my face? Qin Mubai teased her to talk according to her meaning, but he wanted to laugh in his heart.

"Hmph, stinky man, you also know that you care about reputation? If you dare to love me, Wu Zhao is shameless, and you don't have to care about your reputation! Wu Meiniang really scolded back-for-tat.

"Well, I know you're smart and don't do anything out of the ordinary. It's just that you're angry with me, deliberately angry with me. Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter with calling me?" ”

"Can't you be a little excited, a little angry, even yelling at me? It's not fun! There is no sense of accomplishment at all! Wu Meiniang sat down angrily.

"Hehe, it's rare to see each other, I don't want to quarrel with you. If I really beat you, scolded you, and bullied you, wouldn't it really fail you? ”

Wu Meiniang sulked for a long time before pursing her lips and humming: "Don't worry, my Wu Zhao is not a yin and yang weirdo." It's just that the winter in Guannai is far colder than Jingzhou, and I pulled a few sisters to sleep together to warm up, so it's not as dirty and unbearable as you think!.

Qin Mubai smiled, "Okay, don't play tricks, let's talk, what's the matter?" ”

"I want to do business!" Wu Meiniang finally got down to business.

"Doing business? How can you talk about this for no reason? Qin Mubai asked suspiciously, "Now that your martial arts family is a first-class national mansion, what kind of businessman are you, a dignified second lady?" ”

Originally, in Qin Mubai's consciousness, doing business was a very good thing, and with his talent, doing business in this era would inevitably be a great benefit. But the current environment has put a big shackle on his business.

In the consciousness of the Tang people, businessmen are very lowly. Of the four classes of "Shinong, Industrialist, and Industrialist", businessmen are ranked last. Tang Law even clearly stipulated that the son of a merchant was not allowed to participate in scientific examinations and was not allowed to join the army as an official. In the eyes of the world, a businessman is also a cunning, mercenary, lowly person. Even if you are rich enough to rival the country, you will still be looked down upon, and you are not as good as a farmer who farms the land and has a social status.

The samurai, in fact, was originally a businessman. Wu Meiniang's father, Wu Shiyan, was a timber merchant at the end of the Sui Dynasty. At the beginning, he invested all his family property in Li Yuan, the prince of Tang Guogong who raised troops in Taiyuan, and later Li Yuan won the world, and the martial arts family had the merit of being a dragon, and since then the sparrow has become a phoenix.

But despite this, the samurai family still can't wash away the shadow of this merchant in the eyes of the court and officials of the Tang Dynasty - no matter how big an official the samurai was, his colleagues still look down on him. This is actually one of the reasons why the samurai family is declining now.

Although the emperor took care of the face of the former emperor to chase after the samurai Yan a three-grade Shangshu, and also retained the title of the Duke of Yipin Yingguo, it stands to reason that the position of "Jingzhou Governor" held by the samurai Yan in front of him should be replaced by his eldest son Wu Yuanqing, at least he should be transferred to him at the same level as a ministry officer. But the two sons of the Wu family, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, didn't even get a half-official position of the ninth grade, so they could only wait for death by guarding the mansion and property. A big reason is because they are from a bad background - the children of merchants are not allowed to be officials.

"What's so bad about being a businessman? My father used to be a businessman. Wu Meiniang had a little broken temper, and snorted, "Anyway, now our martial arts family is like this, even if we don't do business, people treat us as the children of businessmen." Besides, because of such a fuss with you, the emperor hates our martial artists even more. If you want to make achievements in the officialdom, it is absolutely impossible. Then why don't I admit my fate, inherit my father's business and obediently go into business, earn some affordable money to make my life better? I just love money, what's wrong? Can't you give it to me, won't you let me earn it myself? ”

Qin Mubai was speechless for a while. This Wu Meiniang, although her temperament is a bit strong and extreme, is a very enterprising person who dares to break through stereotypes, and everywhere reveals the characteristics of a businessman who is willing to work hard. But come to think of it, if she hadn't had such a spirit since she was a child, how could she have directed a feminist movement vigorously in history, overturned all stereotypes in the world of male power, and became an unprecedented female emperor?

"You're talking!" Wu Meiniang was a little anxious, and stomped her feet to ask.

"If you want to be in business, then go into business. Actually, I don't think it's a big deal, if it weren't for my father, I would have wanted to do business myself. But what are you doing in business, what are you looking for me for, and is there anything I can do to help you? Qin Mubai said.

"Hey, you're not trying to make me happy, you really want to do business? Hmph, will the dignified third son of the Qin family want to become a businessman? will deceive! But forget it, this girl doesn't care about you! Wu Meiniang slapped her face and smiled mysteriously, "I called you here, of course, because you have a place to help me, otherwise do you think I will miss you?" I'll just say three words and you'll understand. ”

"Say."

"Qin Immortal Wine!"

"Huh?" Qin Mubai's heart lit up, "How do you know?" ”

"Of course, I didn't know about it originally, because none of our martial artists could participate in a grand event like the imperial court celebration banquet." Wu Meiniang smiled a little weirdly, and said with a grin, "However, businessmen are the most diligent and well-informed people in the world. They are always the first to know what they want to know. The palace is often the place where the biggest business opportunities arise. Once one day the emperor likes and praises something, the world will inevitably be popular. You should always be able to understand this? ”

"That's true." Qin Mubai said, "Qin Immortal Wine, I made it. In the entire Tang world, I'm afraid that I am indeed the only one who can brew. The emperor personally visited my Qin family and personally gave the name of 'Qin Immortal Wine'. At that time, I also had a strong urge to go into business and sell alcohol. However, my father was a stubborn and law-abiding man, and he was not in good health, so I didn't want to make him angry, so I kept it a secret. ”

"Well, here's your chance!" Wu Meiniang slapped her face and giggled, "Yesterday, a big businessman came to our martial arts family and found me by name, saying that he wanted to cooperate with me and sell this 'Qin Xian Wine'. ”

"Which merchant?"

"The richest businessman in Chang'an - Zheng Fengchi!" Wu Meiniang said, "That's the big businessman who once boasted to Emperor Gaozu. He once said that no matter how many trees there are on Zhongnan Mountain, even if he wraps a silk around each tree, he will not be able to use up the silk at home. Although it is a bit exaggerated, this man is indeed very rich, almost richer than the treasury. In the early years of Zhenguan, when the emperor used troops against the Turks, he asked him for money and grain. Zheng Fengchi alone funded all the expenses of the 100,000 army, so the emperor Yubi personally named him the 'Tang Dynasty Righteous Merchant' and handed over the Tang Dynasty's salt and iron monopoly to him. ”

"Zheng Fengchi, a famous name, I have indeed heard of it." Qin Mubai said, "This person is different from ordinary businessmen. Not only did he not be discriminated against, but he also made friends with some powerful people. Most of the business he does is related to the imperial court, which is like the monopoly of salt and iron you just mentioned, so this person should have some status in the emperor's mind. ”

"That's a good point." Wu Meiniang stood up, cut her hands behind her back like an adult elder, paced, and said, "This Zheng Fengchi is indeed a man and eye to the sky!" The emperor had just invited the heroes with Qin Immortal Wine, and he knew the news. Not only that, but he also obtained the emperor's consent to allow him to operate a special sale of this tribute 'Qin Xian Liquor'. The only thing missing now is your Qin Mu Bai Gongzi's brewing method. He knows that your Qin family is very strict, and it is very likely that he will be kicked out by Lord Lingzun if he goes directly to you. So, he actually found me in a roundabout way, first said that he moved me, and then asked me to come forward to you - hehe, you say, is this person extremely smart, destined to be the richest man in the world, the first giant businessman? ”

"A clever businessman indeed." Qin Mubai said, "Did he tell you how to cooperate?" ”

"Got it." Wu Meiniang said, "He said, he doesn't involve you, only cooperates with me, so that he won't insult the reputation of your Qin family, right?" Also, I just need to provide the method of making wine and promise not to tell anyone else about it. In this way, I can get a share of the profits from the sale of wine. I don't care about the rest. ”

"Heh, this Zheng Fengchi is indeed good at business." Qin Mubai couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, thinking: Wu Meiniang grew up in a businessman's family environment, and deep down in her bones, she has the idea of 'profit first' and has business acumen. The approach she proposed seemed to be feasible. I didn't lose anything anyway, just a very simple distillation method, so let her do it!

Just as she was about to agree, Wu Meiniang said again: "The most obvious advantage of my business is that I can make a lot of money. Businessmen are shameful, but few people really hate money, and money is a good thing. Moreover, when the emperor knew that my Wu Meiniang was in business, he must have looked down on me as a merchant's daughter even more from the bottom of his heart, wouldn't that be a great thing? However, if Lord Ling Zun Qin Shubao knew about it, he would look down on me and order you to divorce your wife, hehe, then you can't complain about me! ”

"Don't worry, although my father is stubborn, he is not very old-fashioned, and he is still relatively open-minded, especially trusting my son." Qin Mubai smiled disappreciatively and said, "I'll explain it to him clearly, I'm sure it's okay." If you want to do business, my husband will approve it. When you are free, you teach you to steam wine. As for how to cooperate with Zheng Fengchi, I don't care. ”

"Yes, yes, you are the son of an official eunuch after a famous family, how can you manage business affairs? Just leave it to the lowly Wu Zhao to do it! Wu Meiniang glanced at Qin Mubai and muttered in a low voice, "Hmph, I hope that your old man will dislike me and order you to divorce me!" ”

"Are you really willing to do it?"

“…… Eat, eat! ”
