Chapter 134: Tribute (II)
Chapter 134 Tribute 2
Money is a god.
Dugu's grandmother, who has experienced troubled times and alternate dynasties, naturally knows the importance of money.
I know more about the essence of those in power who value agriculture over business.
However, the tone is such that even if you want to make money, you can't go against the wind, at least you have to cover it up.
And tribute is a weather vane for the ruling class, but whenever it is related to the imperial power, the value will skyrocket, and then it will be sought after by others.
When Dugu's grandmother turned this corner, she called Dou Hui:
"I called you over because I have a few words to explain."
Dou Hui's face flashed with joy: "Mother, please speak." "A deaf look.
"This time to Luoyang, after you see Shude (Li Yuan's cousin), discuss it with him and sit on the reputation of the tribute. If His Majesty asks for details and erases the shadow of Da Lang here, he will say that it is the idea of the old body, and he will say that most of the descendants of the capital are rich, but when the children are older, let them start a family, dowry, dowry or something, there is silver everywhere. ”
Dugu's grandmother instructed her to make her family as pitiful as possible, and cried to Yang Guang for poverty.
We have good things thinking about you, Your Majesty, so can you give mercy and let us live better.
With Dou Hui's mind, he immediately figured out the powerful relationship: "Mother, I understand, I will be careful." ”
Secretly felt that he was happy before, and he didn't think about it so much, and sure enough, there was an old man in the family.
Dugu's grandmother wrote another letter, but the letter only asked Li Yuan if he was okay, saying that his body was not wrong, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Finally, I emphasized that Dou Hui went to Luoyang because of his own intentions, and he had something to tell you.
There is no mention of Li Jiancheng in the text.
After Dou Hui received the letter, he asked Qingzhi to call Li Xiuning, explained the affairs of the family in front of Dugu's grandmother, and then hurriedly got up and went to pack up his things.
After all, women are tolerant of those who please themselves, Dou Hui returned to the house and began to rummage through the cabinets, constantly comparing clothes.
Qingzhi said suspiciously: "Madam, when Ah Lang came back before, I didn't see you so grand. ”
"What do you know at a young age, help me see how this is." Dou Hui didn't tell Qingzhi what was on his mind.
It was Li Yuan who came back before, and in front of Dugu's grandmother, she didn't dress up too much.
But this time I went to Luoyang to see Li Yuan, there was no mother-in-law to press down, and there were no children by my side, so it would naturally be different.

After seeing Dou Hui leave, Li Jiancheng chatted with Dugu's grandmother again:
"Grandmother, I heard that Your Majesty likes the things in the cup, I don't know if it's true or not?!"
Grandmother Dugu first nodded in approval of Li Jiancheng's words, and then looked at Li Jiancheng: "What, you still want to make wine?!" His eyes were smiling.
Li Jiancheng saw that Dugu's grandmother did not mean to be displeased, but said suspiciously: "Don't you think I am a plaything to make wine?!" ”
"Even if you want to make wine, you won't do it yourself, how much time can you use, besides, you are working hard now, I am naturally relieved. And when you go out to socialize in the future, some alcohol is also good, as long as you don't indulge in the contents of the cup and hurt your body. ”
Dugu's grandmother's words made Li Jiancheng realize, it turned out to be some.
So he didn't hesitate to say his idea of building a wine workshop.
Grandmother Dugu nodded and said:
"This method is feasible, and the most important thing is to show your majesty the attitude of our family. If someone else does this, it will be flattering, but it is your father's duty. ”
Li Jiancheng smiled secretly, Dugu's grandmother is really a good face, and it seems that the matter has not been written yet, so she wants to correct her name first.
I have to admit that there is nothing wrong with this excuse.
"That's true." Li Jiancheng echoed.
Dugu's grandmother saw that Li Jiancheng was already working hard for this family, so she asked, "But there are difficulties?" Say it, and grandmother will figure it out for you. ”
"If the silver is from the 20,000 taels, it's just that the location of this winery, and the craftsman who makes the wine, have to ask your grandmother for help."
Li Jiancheng can't directly buy a house and recruit people by himself.
But isn't this pulling Dugu's grandmother into the gang, why not use it if there are convenient conditions?!
In addition, I was taught by my grandmother to become a business, and even if the business became bigger, it was convenient to hide my figure.
"You're here to fight the autumn wind." Grandmother Dugu smiled when she heard this: "Let's go, go in with grandmother." ”
After coming to the inner room.
Dugu's grandmother took out a bunch of keys from her body, first opened the cabinet by the wall, and Dugu's grandmother stretched her hand and fumbled in the cabinet for a while.
Squeak quack~
The wooden board on the inside of the cabinet moved, revealing a large copper box.
Li Jiancheng: "......" safe is available at this time, long knowledge.
Dugu's grandmother beckoned Li Jiancheng to step forward: "Come and see, what do you like?!" ”
Gold beads and jade, and some title deeds.
"What if you like it all?!" Li Jiancheng said mischievously: "At first glance, since I don't know what I want, I still forget it, a gentleman doesn't win people's love." ”
Grandmother Dugu was only surprised when she saw Li Jiancheng, then her eyes were clear and indifferent, she nodded secretly, and said with a smile:
"I'll give you all these things in a hundred years."
"Then I thanked my grandmother first, I know that you feel sorry for me the most, but there is a way not to suffer from widowhood but unevenness......" Li Jiancheng stopped talking again.
Although Grandmother Dugu knew what Li Jiancheng was going to mean, she didn't care about it:
"This is my own money, and I can give it to whoever I like, even if your father can't say anything."
As she spoke, she took out a few land deeds and handed them to Li Jiancheng and said:
"I think these positions are all good, go back and see, which one you think is suitable."
Li Jiancheng did not postpone this time, and took it with a smile.
Grandmother Dugu was like a boy with scattered wealth, and when she saw Li Jiancheng accept it, she smiled happily:
"That's right, you will take what you are given."
Li Jiancheng nodded again and again, and after helping Dugu's grandmother close the cabinet, he turned the screen and returned to the outer room to sit down.
Dugu's grandmother pointed out to Li Jiancheng:
"Wait a minute, you go to Dou Zhong and ask him to help you find a craftsman for winemaking; Oh, by the way, Aunt Zhao in that kitchen has good winemaking skills, can you invite her to ask?! ”
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Besides, I don't know if she is willing to spread this method, so let's try it according to what I see in the book first." ”
When he was talking just now, Li Jiancheng said that he had seen several brewing methods in the book, and one of them could also brew high-grade sake.
Naturally, these were added by Li Jiancheng on his own in the miscellaneous book.
"That's okay, but you have to explain to Dou Zhong when you go back, and the person you recruit must be the one who buys it." Obviously, Li Jiancheng's words reminded Dugu's grandmother that other people's recipes are recipes, and their own methods cannot be passed on.
In particular, after this wine is really brewed, it will be presented to Yang Guang, which is a tribute. (To be continued)
