Zheng Bin was like a headless fly, and after several days of ramming, he finally thought of a way.

After a few twists and turns, I finally learned some news about the liquor from a quack doctor in the Assassin's Mansion that day.

If the Zheng family got the treasure, they immediately drew the gourd in the same way, and after several days of tinkering, they finally came up with a plausible wine purification equipment.

Later, I tested the temperature of the fire, adjusted the settings everywhere, and after several days, I finally purified the spirit.

Zheng Bin tasted it and was very proud, it turned out that the method was so simple, there was not much magic! Xie Yi and the Lu family can make Qionghua Brew, why can't they make the whole plum blossom brew?

But the shrewd shopkeeper calculated the accounts, and then shook his head and said: "Childe, this legal liquor may be able to work for a while, but if it is brewed on a large scale, the cost will be very high. It will be several times the amount of alcohol currently sold by the Lu family, and there will be no profit at all. ”

"How so?" Zheng Bin's eyes widened in disbelief. Xie Yi and Lu Tong are selling wine at a loss? Apparently impossible.

The amount of liquor sold by the Lu family firm in the past few days is amazing, and if it were really calculated at this cost price, the Lu family firm would have closed down long ago.

What's going on here?

Is there any other way to make wine in Xie Yi's hands? This seems to be the only plausible explanation.

Zheng Bin slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, sighed hatefully, and had to admit that in this matter, he lost to Xie Yi again.

While being annoyed and angry, he couldn't think about it, and he had to explain to his father and even his hometown in Xingyang about his recent series of confusion and mistakes.

The chic and comfortable children of the family suddenly feel that life is so difficult!

……

"Qionghua Brew?!"

Hou Junji held a cup in his hand, took a sip lightly, and sighed while staggering: "Isn't this the wine that Xie Yi purified on the day he cured Tianyou, and it can be popular all over the city if he changes his name?" ”

Helan Chushi replied: "Yes, but the brewing method should be adjusted, otherwise the price will not be so low." This wine is currently selling well, and drinkers are scrambling to buy it, and I heard that there are already merchants from other places who have come here. ”

"In this way, it is clearly the Lu family's firm, and secretly Xie Yi is also involved?"

"Indeed!"

"At a young age, versatile, it's not easy!" Hou Junji sighed: "I heard that day in the Red Mansion, he exported a good article? ”

Helan Chushi's heart moved, and he knew that there were some things that he couldn't hide, so he had to say truthfully: "That's right, the son-in-law asked him later, the article is called "The Burrow", the writing is beautiful, and the intention is lofty. In addition, the two poems "Spring Dawn" and "From the Army" should also be his handwriting. ”

"Sure enough, this son is really extraordinary." Hou Junji nodded, and then asked, "Then have you ever understood why he didn't come to submit the manuscript that day?" ”

Probably stimulated in Chang'an, Marquis Junji, the Duke of Chen, has been haunted by this matter and wants to know the answer.

The son-in-law didn't ask directly, but clicked on the side to understand something; First, Xie Yi is clever and intelligent, but he also has a lot of extraordinary, similar to Wei Jin Yishi in some places, strange people have many quirks, maybe he is not in the official career;

Maybe there is a heart, but it is just ...... Although he is talented, his reputation in the past is really bad, and the court has always valued both talent and virtue; Also, he was in dire need of money at the time. Helan Chushi explained all the reasons for making up his brain, which is basically reasonable.

After listening to this, Hou Junji pondered for a long time, and said leisurely: "Chu Shi, you should have sued me earlier......"

"Father-in-law, I ......" Helan Chushi knew that he was seeing through his thoughts, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and he didn't know how to defend for a while.

"That's it, everyone has their own ambitions, you have to see what Xie Yi thinks, you can find a chance to ask on my behalf!" Hou Junji looked at his son-in-law's eyes, which was meaningful.

Helan Chu's heart was like a mirror, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.

"By the way, did Xie Yi still cheat the Zheng family kid that night?"

"Yes!" Helan Chushi nodded stupidly, as a son-in-law, Xunhua asked Liu to be known by the old father-in-law, how good can his face be? Even in the family of the powerful, such things are commonplace, and they can't help but be a little embarrassed.

Hou Junji's face was expressionless, and he was not angry and advised: "When you are acting on the spot, stop in moderation, and after returning to Chang'an, treat me (girl) well." ”

"Obey the teachings of my father-in-law, and my son-in-law will never let his wife and children be wronged...... Helan Chushi breathed a sigh of relief and said gently: "Or, I will send someone to bring their mother and son to Chenzhou, and the whole family will share their family?" ”

"No need!" Hou Junji waved his hand and said: "The cold winter wax moon, the New Year is approaching, why let them run thousands of miles." After Shangyuan, you can go back to Chang'an! ”

"Father-in-law, the two uncles are not around, God bless is still young, if the son-in-law is gone, who will serve you?" Helan Chushi chuckled in his heart, and he couldn't feel his father-in-law's pulse a little.

"I'm not that old, am I?" Hou Junji smiled: "There is naturally a reason for letting you go back...... After the beginning of spring, maybe I will also leave Chenzhou. ”

"Uh...... Father-in-law is saying? ”

Hou Junji waved his hand and said: "Don't ask more, when you return to Chang'an, you will naturally understand." ”

"Yes, my son-in-law knows." Helan Chushi nodded, but a big question mark appeared in his heart, what happened to Chang'an?

……

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, the largest city at that time, stood on the Guanzhong Plain, on the shore of Weishui.

Taiji Palace is located in the north of Chang'an City, close to the direction of Longshouyuan, majestic and magnificent, is the Li Tang Royal Palace, and is also the center of the empire.

In Chang'an in winter, the sky is very gloomy, although it is only noon, the Chengqing Hall is already brightly lit, and the lights are bright. There is no way, Emperor Li Shimin reviews and recites every day, and he meets the ministers separately here.

At this moment, the powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Shimin, was angry: "This Quan Wanji, how did the chief of the Wu Wangfu be done?" ”

Belch...... The ministers who were waiting on the side couldn't help but have a stupid expression and were speechless.

Today, there is a royal history book to impeach the governor of Anzhou, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, trampled on the farmland when he went out hunting, destroying a lot of crops. In this feudal society that is based on agriculture and advises farmers to teach mulberry, it is a relatively strict problem.

His Majesty the Emperor was really angry, but the object of his anger was a little strange, and he did not blame Li Ke, the king of Wu, who trampled on the farmland, but pointed the finger at Shi Quan Wanji, the head of the palace.

After a while, he said coldly: "Quan Wanji can't assist Li Ke, the king of Wu, and he deserves death!" ”

The ministers who were waiting at this time were a little panicked, didn't they just trample on some crops, what a big deal, why bother to kill people?

In line with the original intention of defending his colleagues and advising the emperor to be the emperor, Shi Liufan, the servant, couldn't stand it anymore, and came forward and said: "Your Majesty thinks twice, Fang Xuanling's affairs are your Majesty, if you can't stop hunting, how can you be guilty of ten thousand years?" ”

I have to say that the ministers in the Zhenguan period were very backbone, Wei Zheng was one, and Liu Fan was also very kind.

The implication of his words: You yourself are known as Mingjun, and you are not an old hunter who spoils people's things, and even Fang Xuanling can't control you. King Wu made a mistake by imitating his father, how could he blame the family for being a man of Wanji?

Maybe Li Shimin just said an angry word, and he didn't really want to kill Wan Ji, but Jun didn't joke, the courtiers took it seriously, and a word of advice made him uncomfortable.

"Liu Fan, what do you mean, disobey the king?" Li Shimin was suddenly a little angry.

The ministers who dare to speak out are not bad breeds, Liu Fan is neither humble nor arrogant: "The ministers are upright when they hear the lord, the holy ministers, Your Majesty is benevolent, and the ministers dare not be stupid." ”

I am a direct minister because His Majesty is the Holy Lord of Benevolence! No, why does it sound a bit like a sycophant?

Li Shimin really accepted the high hat, pondered for a moment, coughed twice, and said: "That's it, cut off one hundred households of King Wu, and Quan Wanji will be fined for one year, as compensation to the farmers, you can do it!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Liu Fan leave, Li Shimin threw the song on the imperial case and sighed: "Ke'er is heroic and good at riding and shooting, and he just made a little mistake when hunting, it's really a big fuss." ”

The Chinese scholar Lang Cen text and the servant Shi Ma Zhou, who were waiting on the side, suddenly did not hear it, but the brows of the chief of the sky, Sun Wuji, moved slightly without a trace.

"Don't mention it!" Li Shimin said leisurely: "Murong Nuo, the king of Heyuan County, has already returned to Guhun, and there will be no major events this year." The day before yesterday, Shi Zhangliang, the governor of Luoyang, wrote a letter and asked me to visit Luoyang after the beginning of spring and go to enjoy peonies, what do you think? ”

Cen Wenwen immediately said: "Northern Xinjiang is stable, Tuguhun has been pacified last year, and the drought of this year has also been passed smoothly, and it is rare for the DPRK to be clean and idle, and it is a good time for Your Majesty to patrol Luoyang." ”

"Yes, His Majesty has not toured the east since he ascended the throne, and this time it just shows the prestige of the Son of Heaven to the people of Shandong, and the emperor's grace is mighty." Ma Zhou also agreed.

Naturally, the eldest grandson Wuji would not object, and he even understood Li Shimin's heart better. Empress Changsun has been dead for more than half a year, and I haven't seen much of the emperor's smiles.

"Your Majesty, the minister asked the palace province to send someone to repair the Luoyang palace earlier, so that the relevant officials in Luoyang could prepare early."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, get ready, but don't make a big deal about it yet, lest someone talk about it again." ”

"Your Majesty, this time on the eastern tour, how to arrange the accompanying and left-behind personnel?" The eldest grandson, Wuji, asked a crucial question.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and said leisurely: "The prince will stay in Chang'an, and you and the text will stay to assist the prince, and Fang Xuanling will accompany me to Luoyang." ”

"Yes!" The eldest grandson Wuji nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Who else will your majesty arrange to accompany you?" For example, the concubines in the palace, the princess and the princess, the ministers let the palace province arrange it earlier. ”

"Concubines don't have to." Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Take the young slave (Li Zhi, King of Jin) and the son (Princess Jinyang), if Hengshan (Princess) is in better health, he will also go with him." Guanyin maid ...... When the queen died, these children were sad for a long time, and I took them out for a walk. ”

"Yes." Hearing this answer, Eldest Sun Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a trace of happiness and a faint sense of pride flashed between his eyebrows.

Cen Wenwen listened carefully, but he remained silent. This is very good, the emperor's eastern tour is a huge moving project, and it is good that there are few people who go, saving the people and money, and they are talked about by the officials.

"Your Majesty, the defense of Luoyang and your security ......"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own arrangements." ”
