Li Tai has indeed often gone to the Sixteenth Guard to rob people recently. Why is it said to rob people, because as long as he takes a fancy to it, whether the general of the Sixteenth Guard agrees or not. He'll do everything he can to pull people away.

And the reason why the Sixteenth Guard General dared not speak out was that when Li Yuan was in power, he had issued a holy decree. Li Tai can replenish his own troops in the Sixteen Guards. The premise is that the number of regular troops in the forbidden army of King Wei shall not exceed 5,000.

And Li Tai took advantage of this, constantly competing with the Sixteen Guards, competing for excellent soldiers. And he transferred all the surplus soldiers to the logistics baggage troops. And his regular army never exceeded 5,000 men.

Now among the sixteen guards, there is also a training boom. They are training themselves desperately, hoping that next time, when Li Tai, the king of Wei, comes to choose people. Be able to choose yourself and give yourself the opportunity to serve in the forbidden army of King Wei. After all, he is also a soldier, but the treatment he gets is very different. Let's ask which soldier doesn't want to go to the forbidden army of King Wei, who has a higher salary and better treatment.

However, because of this relationship, the overall combat effectiveness of the Sixteen Guards has also improved. Because if you want to enter the forbidden army of King Wei, you have to train yourself desperately. Because Li Tai's requirements for selecting people are not ordinarily high.

"Whether it's in the Sixteen Guards, or go to the Wei King's forbidden army in Qingque. Aren't they all all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty? I don't think there's anything wrong with it. The eldest grandson Wujian said to Li Shimin with an indifferent expression.

"You know, not only did he make the Sixteenth General miserable. Now it makes me feel even more embarrassed, Datang has a strict system for winemaking. After all, cooking wine needs to consume a lot of grain. But this kid actually opened a winemaking workshop. Now he has begun to advertise his wine everywhere, and it is estimated that it will be available in a few days. Li Shimin continued.

"Isn't that MSG he made very profitable? Why go to winemaking again. Alcohol is not something that everyone can afford to drink, and I'm afraid the sales won't be too good. The eldest grandson said puzzled.

In the early Tang Dynasty, liquor was also divided into famous brands and ordinary brands. Ordinary wine is also sold for 300 yuan a bucket, and a bucket of wine is equivalent to about six kilograms now. 300 yuan is equivalent to the current currency, and there are more than 1,200 yuan. In other words, the price of a pound of wine has reached about 100 yuan.

If it's a well-known brand, the price is even higher. The highest can reach ten taels of silver per bucket. That's not something the average family can afford. Even most of the officials in the court and the central government only take it out during the New Year's holidays or when entertaining distinguished guests.

"Do you know how much that kid's wine is going to sell for? His wine is divided into four grades, namely low-grade wine for one hundred wen and a bucket, mid-grade wine for one tael of silver and a bucket, high-end wine for ten taels of silver per bucket, and the top one is called the supreme grade, it is said that he actually offered a hundred taels of silver for a bucket. Do you think he's crazy. Li Shimin said helplessly.

"How can this kid set prices arbitrarily, if everyone buys his low-grade wine, won't he have to lose everything. And the supreme grade wine actually costs one hundred taels of silver. It is estimated that in the entire Tang Dynasty, few people can afford to drink. The eldest grandson Wujian also felt that Li Tai was unreliable, so he sighed and said.

Li Shimin and his wife were discussing the pricing of Li Tai Liquor. A eunuch came in to report that Li Tai, the king of Wei, had come to meet Li Liqing. Now it's outside the dormitory.

"When did this kid learn to be polite, and he didn't break in directly as before. I even knew that someone was looking for a report. Li Shimin said curiously. However, he still ordered the deacon and eunuch to let Li Tai and Li Li interrogate him.

"The child will grow up, don't you think it's bad for him to understand etiquette like this?" The eldest grandson said after glancing at Li Shimin.

"It's good, but I'm not used to it. I even felt that this kid came to see us this time, and it was definitely nothing good. Li Shimin shook his head and said.

At this time, Li Tai and Li Lizhi had already walked in and put the things in their hands on the ground. He gave Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian a courtesy in a proper manner, and said: "Qingque (Lizhi) see my father, queen mother, and queen mother." ”

"What are you taking?" Seeing Li Tai and Li Liqing, he put the things in his hand on the ground. The eldest grandson asked curiously.

"Queen Mother, now that the end of the year is approaching, Qingque specially prepared a few bottles of good wine for his father. I took it here today to honor my father and mother. Li Tai said with a smile, and at the same time got up and picked up the wine bottle on the ground, and walked over to Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian.

"That's what you make, and I've heard it's divided into four grades. I don't know what grade you brought to me. Li Shimin looked at Li Tai, handed over the wine jar, and asked Li Tai.

Qingque didn't know which grade his father would like, so he first brought a bottle of each grade to his father. Let my father taste it, and if I think it is good, Qingque will go to prepare it for my father. With that, Li Tai handed the wine jar in his hand to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin saw the four jars of wine in front of him, and each jar had a label attached to it. It is written that the gods are drunk, the senior gods are drunk, the Jade Emperor is drunk, and the Supreme Jade Emperor is drunk. From this, it can also be divided into the grade of this wine.

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Li Tai anymore, reached out and picked up the fairy drunk, and opened the seal. A smell of wine wafted out, and even Li Shimin had never smelled such fragrant wine. He poured the wine into his glass and tasted it. Then he said happily: "Good wine, I have never drunk such good wine." Calling the gods drunk really deserves its reputation. ”

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin tasted the other three wines separately. Every time Li Shimin tastes it, he will show a different expression. A lot of praise followed.

"Guanyin, come and taste the wine made by the green sparrow. This is definitely a golden elixir. After speaking, Li Shimin poured a small glass of every wine for the eldest grandson.

In fact, the so-called immortal drunk or the Jade Emperor drunk, even if it is the top Supreme Jade Emperor drunk. In fact, they are all distilled liquor made from sorghum, and to put it bluntly, it is the big sorghum that is often referred to in later generations. It can be said that it is an ordinary liquor that could not be simpler.

It's just that the distinction of grades is measured by degrees. The degree of immortal drunkenness is only about 20 degrees, which is made by Li Tai adding a large amount of mountain spring water. The degree of drunkenness of the high-level immortals has reached about 30 degrees, and the drunkenness of the Jade Emperor is about 40 degrees. The Supreme Jade Emperor is drunk, which is the pure 60-degree sorghum wine of later generations.

The eldest grandson Wujian tasted these four types of wine separately, and couldn't help but nod his head. Then he asked, "Qingque, I don't know how you are going to set the price." This rare wine should be expensive. ”
