Cai Erlaizi ate and drank to his heart's content and left the He family.

Parental sighs and quarrels came. He Ruifeng put down the "University" in his hand, looked at the dark and gloomy roof, and did not say a word, his hands were already clenched.

The He family was finally squeezed out of all value by the Huang family, and returned to the state when they first went up the mountain, that is, abject poverty. Today's He family is barely trying to survive.

After the Huang family workshop learned He Lishi's craftsmanship, he kicked He Lishi away.

The Huang family's rooms, especially the few rooms that are not taken seriously, blackmail He Lishi from time to time, and the He family can't turn the sky anyway.

Cai Erlaizi didn't learn anything in the mountains, especially when he Ruifeng, an outstanding young man who was handsome, smart, and hard-working. Now seeing that the He family is so down, he comes over from time to time to eat and drink. He also called He Ruifeng to come over and pour wine from time to time, and said: "Promote the juniors", what he thought in his heart was: How smart are you, how good are you in reading, and you are so stupid that you left Mingyuezhuang. Now that you have fallen into the hands of Master Huang, you are worse than Lao Tzu, hehe, can you do it again?!

Huang Liren promoted Cai Er Laizi to an idle manager, because he took a fancy to some of Cai Erlaizi's "qualities". There are some pickled things, and it is most suitable to leave them to someone like Cai Er Laizi to do.

He Lishi and his wife are not living well, and they can only frown and be sad all day long. Cai Erlaizi and some Huang family members, every time they ridiculed and bullied He Lishi, they were in a good mood. Huang Jiamengxue, other reading teenagers are proud of provoking He Ruifeng, and often ask what the He family thinks, the qualification of Zhuangmin that other families can't get even if they give up their lives, and the He family actually took the initiative to give up?

He Ruifeng always did not answer, so he was beaten many times and often spit on.

After leaving the village, the only one who left a good impression on He Ruifeng was the old Mengshi.

He Ruifeng is the kind of "other people's child".

Most of the Huang family thought that He Ruifeng was numb, and some even thought that He Ruifeng was going to become a fool, but He Ruifeng's mind had already surpassed most people.

In a series of drastic changes in life, He Ruifeng was greatly stimulated. After seeing the faces of all walks of life in Da Zhou, He Ruifeng began to think about the people and things around him early.

The reason why Li Xiang did not compromise with Zhuang Min and allowed Zhuang Min to leave Mingyue Village was really the only way to preserve Mingyue Village and strengthen his authority. On the surface, it seems to be a concession to the gentry, but in fact it is self-purification. ”

"The Liu family is stupid, Liu Xia is even more stupid, without the full maintenance of Li Xiang and Liu Chengdong, Mingyuezhuang is a piece of fat. Liu Xiadu actually wanted to take Li Xiang's place, thinking that by paying some benefits, he could negotiate terms with the big clan gentry? Naïve, those seven Liu families are really going to succeed, and the end is worse than my He family, and they can't save their lives! ”

"The Huang family is still careless. The most important premise of Master Huang's plan to deal with Mingyuezhuang is that Li Xiang does not dare to rebel, and not many Zhuang people follow Li Xiang to rebel. But Li Xiang will never sit still, where the elder battalion is, calm is the biggest problem, who knows what the elder battalion of hundreds of people and thousands of guards think? ”

……

He Ruifeng sighed, not optimistic about the Huang family's plan this time, the core point is: Li Xiang is by no means a person who sits idly by, and the rules of Mingyue Zhuang Gongzhong are not decorations. The Liu family's relatives are so rampant, do you know if Li Xiang deliberately connived? Li Xiang must have a back move!

But He Ruifeng did not tell Huang Liren his doubts, that is, he did not want to, and he did not dare.

Who knows, Huang Liren, who is dignified on the surface and eats people without spitting out bones behind his back, will completely destroy the He family and avoid future troubles?

He Ruifeng has no resentment towards Li Xiang and Mingyuezhuang, but he has outright hatred for the Huang family.

The facts are there. Li Xiang did not treat the people who left Mingyuezhuang badly, but chose to protect the interests of most people and himself. The He family chose to leave, but they were squeezed out of everything by the Huang family, that's all.

But He Ruifeng still wants to destroy Mingyuezhuang, and then absorb its nutrients and strengthen himself. In other words, He Ruifeng is trying to read the words of the sage in order to become a "righteous gentleman", and Mingyuezhuang is his first "land".

Although he is not optimistic about Huang Liren, He Ruifeng can only make a marionette appearance in order to protect himself, and run around for the Huang family's "big plan".

He Ruifeng is mainly responsible for contacting Liu Xiadu, and he looks like he is resigned to his fate all day long, in addition to running around for the Huang family, he is reading and practicing calligraphy.

Cai Erlaizi is also in Huang Liren's plan, responsible for lobbying the unsatisfactory settlement in the village. After he came out of He's house, he went straight to Huang Liren's study.

Huang Liren is very disgusted with Cai Erlaizi, but the Huang family really needs this kind of dog, it is convenient to use, and let everyone bite it. If you are not happy, you can also dispose of it at will.

Huang Liren motioned to Steward Huang and let Cai Erlaizi come in.

After listening to Cai Er Laizi's story about the situation of the He family, Huang Liren was silent for a long time, "That kid from the He family studied very hard, was also very smart, and was a good seedling, do you mean that he accepted his fate?" ”

Cai Er Laizi was somewhat brained, and he didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, "Master Qiyu, I don't dare to guarantee this." But can He Ruifeng turn the sky around? ”

Cai Erlaizi means that the life, death, honor and disgrace of the three members of the He family are all controlled by the Huang family. He Ruifeng, that kid, has no merit and fame, and no backer to help, does he still want to take revenge on the Huang family?

waved away Cai Erlaizi, Huang Liren looked at Huang Chengen, "Chengen, you are the Huang family and the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion, what do you think of that He Ruifeng?" ”

Huang Chengen rubbed his hands, "If the master wants that kid to be used by the Huang family, it's easy." ”

"Don't sell it, talk about it."

Huang Chengen's idea is very conventional, "treat his parents well, but take strict care." He Ruifeng needs to be polished, and if it is really available, he will be supported to participate in the scientific expedition. ”

"If He Ruifeng can be admitted to Xiucai, he will choose a side branch to settle down with his daughter's wife, supplemented by a grace knot. Then observe again, if it is really credible, support its candidates. ”

"Shilin is about rules. When the time comes, he will accept the kindness of my Huang family, and a few Huang family members will embarrass their family's trivial matters, is it still a matter? Naturally, he wants to be used by my Huang family......"

Huang Liren was very satisfied with Huang Chengen's plan and made a decision on the spot. The boy of the He family who has no background, can he escape the palm of the Huang family?

After Huang Chengen left, Huang Liren looked at the information from Hedong and was silent.

Huang Liren thought to himself: Zhao Scar's guy actually ran to Luliang, and he had a hot fight with Hao Juren and other gentry? It's just smuggling to open mines, cultivating fields and collecting medicines, but they are actually seeking Zhao'an? After Liu Chengdong recruited An, the Huang family was tied, how could you Zhao Scar be allowed to do Zhao'an again......

After looking at the information of the day, Li Xiang was upset and chatted with Cheng Jianghai while drinking.

Distilled spirits have appeared in Da Zhou, but almost no one appreciates high-grade liquor.

In Li Xiangyuan's time and space, liquor also became popular at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and rice wine had always been respected before. Rice wine is rare, the price of amber rice wine is more than gold, and the people who have surplus grain can only drink green rice wine, which is the result of microbial invasion.

In this part of China, sake has been brewed for thousands of years. The fertile fields are full of grain, and of course people use it to make wine. The ancestors creatively invented the "koji" that made grain saccharified and liquor at the same time, and brewed sake was able to be produced on a large scale.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the brewing industry slowly flourished, and although those in power had to ban alcohol every time there was a war or famine, they could not stop the love of alcohol among their subordinates.

The Qin and Han dynasties were unified, and the four seas were one. In addition to salt and iron, the temple ministers also set their sights on the lucrative liquor industry, which was used to fill the treasury and limit the financial resources of the powerful in various places. After that, the prosperity came, and there were various kinds of emphasis on sake brewing and drinking.

In the early days, the wine was very cloudy due to process problems. The better the craftsmanship, the more elaborate the wine, and the clearer it is.

The wine saint and the wine king appeared one after another, and the next wine scripture was written, and people who did not worry about eating and drinking began to regard clarity and transparency as an important symbol of good wine. The poets of the previous dynasty mixed and drank everywhere, and when they encountered the clear and mellow wine, they still chanted a poem, and the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty were on the Fan Tower, and they did not hesitate to come to the word meeting for a jar of good wine, which is very understandable.

For thousands of years, the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded.

The most brilliant scholars and doctors used their brains to come up with a compromise that would not hinder the development of the wine industry and control the huge wine industry. The official sale of koji, Da Zhou's management of the wine industry opened Li Xiang's eyes.

The Dazhou department closely monitored the production and sale of koji, and strictly prohibited private production and sale of koji. There are also two types of koji that can be bought at private stores, one is dine-in, which means that the sake brewed can only be sold in your own store. The other is not restricted for takeaway, but there is an additional tax.

Mingyuezhuang has just started the work of reclaiming mountains and building water conservancy, and the grain produced in the next few years will be enough to fill the stomachs of half of the villagers with yellow household registration, which is good. Gongzhong has been buying grain, but most of it has to be resold to Qinling villages at low prices, otherwise how could those villages be willing to be controlled by Mingyuezhuang?

Li Xiang issued a strict ban on alcohol, and a small amount of secretly distilled alcohol could only be used to heal the wounded.

They are all hungry people, and most of the Zhuang people support Li Xiang's decision, but they are just ...... There are always injured old and rough people who secretly drink alcohol, and I don't know how many girls from the medical and health department have cried for this, and the result is, of course, in exchange for whipping, demotion, and the treatment of being locked up in a small black house. There are always people who refuse to change their ways, and in order to keep their alcohol, Old Man Zhang and Liu Xiaoci guard against those fools every day, and they break their hearts.

Li Xiang shook his head, "Some of the regulations of Da Zhou are very powerful, we Mingyuezhuang distilled some alcohol for our own use, we have to cover it up, if we make wine and sell it......" Less than ten degrees of wine, for Li Xiang, there is no pressure.

Cheng Jianghai couldn't do it, his eyes were red, and his tongue was swollen, "Da Zhou's slaughter is really powerful." The officials kept a close eye on the koji, which was linked to the liquor tax. Comparing the number of koji and the number of liquor sold, it is almost accurate to check, and there is no big background and big backer, who dares to do anything. ”

Li Xiang followed the wine and talked about the topic, "The seven Liu families have not yet taken Mingyuezhuang and swallowed all the property, so they indulge in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in Mingyueji." There are only a few young people who can control themselves, such as Liu Xiadu, do I think highly of them? ”

Cheng Jianghai rubbed his temples twice and sat up straight, he had to fulfill his responsibility to persuade, "The lord should not underestimate others." ”

"It is true that there are few outstanding young people in the Liu family, but it does not mean that they cannot do bad things. The Huali class has gained a great reputation in Mingyueji, and there must be high-ranking officials as backers. A few unscrupulous sons of the Liu family actually dared to go over to make trouble, molesting those Qing people, and it was clear that someone was supporting the seven Liu families! ”

"The gentry and eunuchs of the Great Zhou Dynasty want to use some Liu family members as knives to cut Mingyuezhuang open. Then those big family businessmen will show up, provoke the Liu family to fight, share the interests of Mingyuezhuang, and finally remove the Liu family. ”

Li Xiang was awe-inspiring, thinking: I underestimated the world again, I really shouldn't be!

Cheng Jianghai would actually persuade him bluntly? Li Xiang Nahan, more appreciative of Cheng Jianghai, whose knowledge and horizons are increasing. It's really a rebellion, and I'm trying to improve my own Dazhou natives for this purpose. As the owner of the village, is he too careful and decadent......
