I don't know what Zhao Pu thinks, but it is really talented to think of mixing water and liquor in wine.

At present, he is illegally blending liquor, and he will be sentenced to a felony, but there is no such crime at this time.

Besides, this kind of high-purity liquor, there are no others, even if it is processed with water, there is nothing to do.

You must know that this is not directly blended with alcohol, and you will not be blind after drinking, which is relatively safe.

"Oh, when this wine is mixed with water, it loses its original taste, so what kind of wine is it?"

Zhao Kuangyin is not stupid, if this wine is mixed with water, it will definitely have no taste, can it still be called wine?

Originally, this wine is so popular because the taste is different from other wines, but if the taste changes, what advantage does it have?

"Aiqing, you have to know that this wine mixed with water has lost its original taste, are people still willing to buy such a thing?"

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and asked, the silver in his hand is almost gone, can he not be in a hurry?

"Hehe, Your Majesty, don't worry, I know this, this is related to my experience of selling illicit salt when I was poor."

"If you want to pour water into the salt, the more you pour it, the lighter the salt will be, so as long as you master the heat, there is no problem."

In fact, Zhao Pu didn't say the real reason, that is, he drank this thousand-dollar wine with water on weekdays.

There is no way to afford to drink, as long as this is the case, you may wonder how the ministers of the court and the central government can not have money to drink.

You have to understand one thing, that is, it has only been a year since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the officials dare to go to the whole gray income, then you are looking for death.

Besides, there are a lot of gifts from the imperial court, but there are no personal courtesies on weekdays, so there are not a few left.

If there is a dynasty when officials are the most incorruptible, it is when a dynasty has just been formed.

Zhao Kuangyin heard this truth, what kind of truth, this is to control the amount of water, it is still good,

Zhao Kuangyin didn't speak but nodded, which meant that he agreed with Zhao Pu's statement and mixed water. (.)

Seeing this, Zhao Pu said even harder:

"Your Majesty, we can do this, first of all, we will keep some wine in its original flavor, without any water, this is a first-class wine."

"Next, we poured a small half jar of wine into a jar of wine, which is a second-class drink."

"Finally, one jar of wine is exchanged for two jars of wine, which is used for sale, which is the third class wine, so that we divide the wine into three classes."

According to the amount of water added, Zhao Pu actually divided a wine into three grades, which Zhao Kuangyin did not expect.

"Your Majesty, you must have guessed what the minister wanted to do, this original wine was naturally sold at the original price."

"This second-class wine will be reduced by seventy percent on the basis of the original price, so as to meet the needs of those who are not rich but have some money."

"As for this third-class wine, it is to make it affordable for ordinary people, so that our wine is divided into high, medium and low."

This division can be said to be based on the current class of rich and poor, not to look down on people, but to make decisions based on their purchasing power.

Take the first wine, for example, which is reserved for those who are so rich that only they have the spare money to buy such things.

You make a year's hard work income less than this jar of wine, they can buy at least.

Is this second-class wine, the natural quality is also a little worse, it is not a rich man, but he has no worries about food and clothing, and he has spare money in his hands, so he does not have to run for his own livelihood.

I don't have to work hard for such people to go around every day, and I don't have the slightest pressure to buy such wine, it is tailor-made for them.

The third-class wine is no different from the ordinary wine in this world, which is for those at the bottom.

Since the price is the lowest, it goes without saying that the quality is not much better.

Zhao Kuangyin listened very carefully, and nodded from time to time, indicating that what Zhao Pu said was good.

"En, it's best to ensure financial revenue without harming the interests of other people, I think it's feasible, and when I return to the palace, I will discuss it with the prince and implement it immediately."

Zhao Pu thought on the side, this prince is not your son yet, the world is all yours, and there is something you can't control.

You still need to consult with him, do you still have to listen to your son when you do things, this is a strange news in the world.

How did Zhao Pu know that as long as he was reasonable, Zhao Kuangyin would not be able to help Zhao Xu, and besides, this wine was brewed by Zhao Xu.

This gluttonous building is still owned by others, you discuss it here, and don't tell people about your life, is there such a cheap thing?

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin knew this son's temper, and he didn't dare to pack the ticket, and he would definitely be able to do it.

Only then did he say that he had obtained it and consulted with him, and it was not a matter of whether he had authority or not.

If he said in front of Zhao Pu here today that he would definitely be able to do it, if Zhao Xu disagreed, then his face would be really lost.

Soon the two of them stopped talking about this topic, talking and laughing, and the more they drank the wine, the more enjoyable they became.

was happy here, and suddenly Zhao Kuangyin sighed heavily, put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and looked up at the stars in the sky.

As soon as the emperor stood up, Zhao Pu naturally couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly stood up:

"Why does Your Majesty sigh so much?"

Zhao Kuangyin did not answer him directly, but started with other topics.

"Zhao Pu, look at the stars in the sky, although they are bright, they are only short-lived, no matter how bright they are, they are only in vain, and they can't last."

Zhao Pu couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do, so he couldn't talk to him, just quietly waited for Zhao Kuangyin's next words.

Sure enough, Zhao Kuangyin turned around and asked Zhao Pu:

"Zhao Pu, why did you say that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor has changed eight surnames and twelve monarchs in the past few decades, and the war is endless?

If I want to extinguish the soldiers of the world from now on and make the country peaceful and stable for a long time, is there any good way? ”

This is the real purpose of Zhao Kuangyin's coming here, as for the sale of that fine wine in the country, it is just an inadvertent harvest;.

is waiting for the big move here, on the one hand, Zhao Kuangyin also wants to test whether this person who will become the prime minister is really so thoughtful and talented.

In fact, in the process of ending the division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty currently mainly refer to Zhao Kuangyin focused on two issues:

The first is how to rebuild the centralized ** rule, so that the long-standing situation of feudal towns and towns since the end of the Tang Dynasty will not continue to appear;

In other words, it is how to limit the power of the Jiedu envoys to the minimum, that is, how to take back their military power as a matter of urgency.

Without military power, they are equivalent to toothless tigers, and other powers will not be easily withdrawn in the future.

The second is how to consolidate the Zhao and Song dynasties for a long time and no longer become the sixth short-lived dynasty after five dynasties.

Which of the five dynasties of the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou was not a short-lived dynasty.

It's as if they all had a plague, and it would slowly become contagious, causing these five dynasties to be short-lived.

Now that Zhao Kuangyin has established a Great Song Dynasty, he is also afraid of contracting the plague, and he is afraid that his dynasty will be as short-lived as the other five previous dynasties, so he has to take some measures.

Zhao Pu's heart was like a mirror, it turned out that the emperor came here for this matter, not to hang out.

But I feel vaguely happy in my heart, why? If you think about it, the emperor said this to himself, that is, he didn't treat himself as an outsider.

What a great kind of trust this is, it seems that the news is accurate, I didn't expect that the emperor would come over as soon as I got the news.

Zhao Pu tried his best to control the joy in his heart, thinking about what he said. Fortunately, I have thought about this many times.

Zhao Pu is proficient in governing the Tao, and he has already considered these problems, and after listening to Zhao Kuangyin's question, his heart beat very hard.

However, he did not directly say his own thoughts, but looked at the eunuchs behind him.

This is a big thing, this is a leak of the rumors, those knots are not messed up, dare to calculate them, can you have a good time?

Zhao Kuangyin also knew what he meant, it was really a big deal, and he didn't dare to be careless, this was a big deal.

"Zhang Dejun, you take someone to guard this courtyard, don't let anyone in, otherwise I will ask you, go."

The chamberlain Zhang Dejun resignedly went to arrange, and there was a commotion outside, but it soon quieted down.

"Zhao Pu, now you can boldly say it, don't let me down!" Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhao Pu meaningfully.

Zhao Pu knew that this might be equivalent to his exam for promotion to prime minister, and if he didn't answer well, it was estimated that the position should have no fate with him.

So he straightened his emotions, and he will use the fullest mental state to complete this beautiful question and answer.

He made a gesture to Zhao Kuangyin with his left hand on top and his right hand on the bottom:

"Your Majesty, that Weichen will be ugly."

"Your Majesty, why the country of these five generations is so short-lived is due to the root of qi, and this root cause is the problem of the feudal town."

Zhao Pu immediately grasped the crux of this problem, and of course it was not accidental, he had been studying this problem for a long time.

After reading many history books, it is more to look at the beginning and end of the fall of these dynasties, and finally come to this conclusion.

As the saying goes, if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, and now Zhao Puke really has the right to speak, after all, people have worked hard, right?

Even if Zhao Kuangyin didn't ask him about this today, he would still find an opportunity to write to Zhao Kuangyin and state his views, but he didn't expect Zhao Kuangyin to ask today, which is really a coincidence
