Yao's mother was stunned, her eyes were moist first, she didn't care about her identity, she stepped forward and asked impatiently, "I don't know where he is now?" ”

Governor Sun was stunned for a few seconds, the person who dared to love the princess of the county was her mother's family, but he didn't have the heart to be contemptuous, fortunately he ordered his subordinates to entertain him, the closer he served, the more he could speak, and said busily, "Now it's in the mansion." ”

Yao's mother looked back at Zhiwan with red eyes, and Zhiwan nodded, "Go ahead, be careful." ”

Yao's mother left and took Poria with her.

Zhiwan hugged the two of them to play in the yard, pinching their little noses, hoping that they could grow up overnight, and call her mother.

Seeing that Chen'er looked more and more like his father, Zhiwan's attack became heavier, "In the future, you can't be as conscienceless as your father, and you will not pass on a word after a long time." ”

Bai Xiang covered her mouth and smiled when she heard it, and glanced at Chen'er's eyes with sympathy, the poor little prince, who was a tall man and a small person, made a scapegoat for the county prince, Bai Xiang saw that she didn't let go when she pinched it at night, she was really afraid that she would hurt her little master, so she hurriedly looked for a topic and said, "County princess, slave and maid, when we return to Beijing one day, there are several maids that we bring that we can't bring back." ”

Sure enough, Zhiwan looked sideways, and her hand was loosened, and she also felt that there were a few fewer maids cleaning in the Peony Garden, "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Xiang giggled, when he came to Yongzhou that day, those maids were selected by Yao's mother, people should be smart, their hands and feet should be diligent, they can't talk much, they have to look delicate, they can't be ugly and lose the face of Zhennan Wangfu, they can be selected ten maids, who wants to be such a peugeot maid, the most provoked the little maid, plus it is from Kyoto, well-informed, it is particularly cute.

The last time I sent a hairpin, didn't this match the eyes of the little guy in the outer yard. Those maids have admiration in their hearts, but they estimate that men and women are very guarded, afraid of losing face to the princess of the county, and afraid that Yao's mother will be strict. sold them, knowing that they all had their deeds of sale with them, he secretly embroidered a purse to please the four maids who were waiting for them closely.

Bai Xiang knows a few things, Zhiwan doesn't restrain them, and doesn't prevent them from liking men, but there is one condition, that is, they can't be taught privately, and if they want to be together, they need to report it to her.

This is how Bai Xiang told a few maids, and a few maids blushed at that time. They have children in a family, and they are reluctant to let Lao Tzu Niang go, and they are a little hesitant, but the princess of the county is really a good master, so she only asks her. There is no disapproval, but most of the men are distracted, and Bai Xiang also helps them come up with ideas to test them, and at this time, a few maids take advantage of nothing to do.

Bai Xiang saw a maid come in at the gate of the courtyard. With a flying face and a happy look, I knew that I liked it, so I said it and listened to it at night.

Zhiwan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't have the slightest anger, master and servant. She also hopes that they can find a good home, "If you really see the right eye, you can go to your aunt." ”

When Mrs. Su came in, she happened to hear such a sentence, and she was stunned at first. Then he smiled and asked, "What do you ask for your aunt?" ”

Bai Xiang told the maid about it, and Mrs. Su laughed when she heard it, "I look at those maids of yours, they look good, their hands and feet are numb, they are really cheap Those boys in the house, you have to be willing to give it, there is nothing in the Su Mansion that you don't accept." ”

This is an instant hit, as long as the maid and the little maid take a fancy to it, it will be done.

But Mrs. Su didn't come to play, she was looking for Zhiwan to get an idea, since Su Xueding's marriage, she prepared a Zhuangzi shop for her, this rain was too big, Zhuangzi suffered heavy losses, not to mention, a five-entry courtyard also collapsed a room, although it didn't collapse much, but such a house, who would dare to live?

Fang Cai was discussing whether to buy one, and he listened to the maid talking about what Zhiwan and Sun Zhifu said with great interest, and remembered that Zhiwan had bought hundreds of acres of land before, and he was blessed to his soul and had a new idea.

Zhiwan heard that Mrs. Su bought the land and built a new summer village for Su Xue, so she used those homeless people to work, the food was full, and there was also salary, but I don't know if it will delay the affairs of Governor Sun's mansion.

Zhiwan said with a smile, "There are 8,000 people affected by the disaster this time, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, how can there be 3,000 people, and there are not so many people to build ditches, so my aunt can do it with confidence." ”

After getting Zhiwan's permission, Mrs. Su was relieved, holding Si'er and amused, Leng Shi and Leng Mu carried a large stone pier in, gently put it in front of Zhiwan, and said respectfully, "Princess Jun, this is a stone made according to your secret recipe, what do you think?" ”

The stone is very big, four or five hundred catties is not a problem, Mrs. Su listened, her eyes showed doubts, there are not many others in Yongzhou, how many stones do you need, why do you still need to use secret recipes?

Zhiwan glanced around the big stone a few times, to be honest, this stone looked strong, but I didn't know what the texture was, so I asked my mother-in-law to take a big hammer, let the cold stone smash hard, and see how hard it was.

Leng Shi looked at Zhiwan, he didn't know what her purpose was in doing this, he felt that he would go down with a hammer, and the stone would be torn apart, so he quickly told the maid and the woman to disperse, especially the little prince and the little king, who must not be hurt by the stone.

Qi Shen Dantian, holding a hammer, hammered hard, the earth shook, but there was no sound of shattering, and Leng Shi blushed.

Leng Mu knows the force of the cold stone, not to mention ten points, there are definitely eight points, such an iron hammer down, the big stone is only concave, there is no sign of breaking, this stone is inevitably too hard, right?

Leng Shi and Leng Mu looked at Zhiwan together, and Zhiwan nodded with satisfaction, "This stone is used to build canals and bridges, not to mention thousands of years, seventy or eighty years will definitely not be a problem." ”

Cold stone and cold wood play small service Ye Guiyue, six of those things they know, the imperial court every year to the local construction of ditches of the money is countless, not to say that every year to repair, but three years and five years will be overhauled, labor and money, if you can manage seventy or eighty years, it can save a lot of money to the court, and the princess of the county This stone is hard, but the cost is less than one-tenth of the ordinary stone, and the size is arbitrary, to be square is square, to round is round......

No wonder they said that 20,000 taels of silver was enough to build a ditch, and they thought that the princess of the county was planning to build a certain section, or tinkering on the original basis, who thought that the princess of the county was going to repair not one section, but all of them!

Now that there are many refugees and the fields have been destroyed, even for disaster relief, it is only two meals a day, and half full. Who wouldn't want to be able to eat enough and make some effort?

Seeing the shocked gazes of the two, Zhiwan smiled and said. "Since you plan to cure the flood in Yongzhou, the ditch can't be small, and on the basis of what the prefect gives, expand it by half."

Leng Mu had surging feelings in his heart, but there were some things he had to say, "Princess Jun, this trip to Yongzhou, the money I brought with me was almost spent, and the secret guard was left by the master to protect you and the little prince, if all of them are sent out." If something happens, he won't spare us. ”

In this rain, the silver tickets in their hands are only not in and out, which is really inconsistent with the image of the princess of the county who beat the prince of the county for a hundred taels of gold, and he wants to remind him. The princess of the county is addicted to being a good person, don't go back to Beijing, her heart hurts.

Zhiwan frowned, is she so poor, the shop in Kyoto is not open, and the source of the money is cut off, Zhiwan glanced at Bai Shao. Bai Shao took a step forward and replied, "Princess Jun, there are five thousand six hundred taels of silver." ”

There are a lot less cold stones, only three thousand, which is not enough for ten thousand.

It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Mrs. Su said with a smile on the side. "How can there be no money, how much is missing, I'll go to your uncle to get it."

Zhiwan's cheeks were slightly embarrassed, his eyes fell on the big stones, and the bottom of his eyes moved lightly. "Compared with the same size of bricks, this stone is of good quality, low price, and the sales volume should be good, I think if the emperor knows, it is indispensable to use such a stone to build a ditch in the future, why don't I sell the recipe to my uncle?"

The quality of the stone, Mrs. Su saw it with her own eyes, and when it was replaced with bricks, not to mention that the cold stone was smashed hard, even if the hammer accidentally fell, it was also a ball of powder.

However, the Su family is cheap enough to know the night, that is, the beef jerky, the profit of that piece, you don't have to think about it, and there is also the matter of salt and brine, which solves the urgent need of the Su family.

Mrs. Su sent a maid to call Su Xiangxing, Su Xiangxing didn't say a word, and immediately took 30,000 taels of silver tickets to Zhiwan, Zhiwan wanted to write a prescription for him, Su Xiangxing glared at him, "Actually, this silver coin was originally a flaw for you." ”

Zhiwan was a little stunned, didn't understand, and guessed that it was the Su family's dowry for her mother, who thought it wasn't, "The recipe you gave to your uncle to solve the salt brine is white and delicate, and it is not much worse than the tribute salt of the palace, and the idle people have never seen it, such salt, my uncle didn't dare to use it for the court soldiers, so he exchanged it with the merchants in Yongzhou, and the 30,000 taels was the difference." ”

Tribute salt is priceless, he just raised the price by one or two times, and it was almost sold out, Zhiwan heard that the corners of his mouth twitched, the Su family is a merchant in the world, and anything can think of silver, and Zhiwan will take this money with confidence.

However, this money, Zhiwan still felt a little guilty when he took it, and immediately wrote a contract to Su Xiangxing, Su Xiangxing didn't understand it after reading it for a long time, "Is there such a shop in Yongzhou?" ”

Mrs. Su took a look and said with a smile, "Who said no, the big guys are looking forward to the shop opening as soon as possible, the cosmetics some time ago are to be sold in this shop, and many noble ladies came to ask me when the shop will open." ”

The shop can get 20% of the shares, and Mrs. Su can't imagine the profits, 30,000 taels can't seem to be bought?

Su Xiangxing hesitated to take it, the Su family couldn't always take advantage of Zhiwan, but Zhiwan said that if she didn't take it, she wouldn't want 30,000 taels of silver tickets, so Su Xiangxing took it.

Just as he was about to leave, a small guy outside rushed in and said, "Master, the imperial court has issued a ban on alcohol." ”

Su Xiangxing's footsteps froze, his brows furrowed, "When was it promulgated?" ”

The little guy hurriedly took a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Su Xiangxing with both hands, Su Xiangxing hurriedly unfolded it and took a look, the prohibition was promulgated five days ago, and he didn't expect it to reach Yongzhou so quickly.

Wine-making costs too much food, and wine is not a necessity, which to some extent controls the skyrocketing food prices.

After the prohibition, ordinary merchants were no longer allowed to make wine and sell it, but it was okay to drink it at home.

When Bai Shao heard this, he asked, "Then Young Master Chu, they also opened a brewery, are they going to close down their doors too?" ”

Zhiwan frowned when she heard this, and then shook her head, "No, I'm afraid that the promulgation of the prohibition will have nothing to do with them." ”

I have to say that Zhiwan's guess is really accurate, the imperial court promulgated the ban on alcohol, it is the masterpiece of these three people, Zhiwan can use the coal mine to solve the flood and the disaster of the empty treasury, why can't they use the imperial court's prohibition to make profits?

They have an absolute advantage, that is, the king of Zhennan supports them, their wine is of good quality, stamina, and they are deeply liked by the people of Nanshun in Northern Qi, and a pound of wine can be exchanged for dozens of catties of food. That grain was enough for them to make wine, and they didn't need to buy a grain of rice in the Da Viet Dynasty.

Before the three of them put forward this condition, they discussed with King Zhennan, and King Zhennan felt that it was feasible. However, there is one condition, after the prohibition is promulgated, 30% of the money earned from alcohol will be used to support the war!

The three of them calculated, that is, they gave fifty percent, and they earned more money than before the ban, and they supported the war, not the imperial court, and the ban would not be banned for a long time, and when the war ended, their liquor shops could be revoked when they opened all over the Dayue Dynasty. The decision was made immediately.

As soon as the prohibition was promulgated, there were tenths less alcohol on the market*, and the price of alcohol was rapidly reduced. In just five days, it quickly occupied the market.

Kyoto, Imperial Study.

Emperor Wen Yuan stared at the wine jar with his eyes, and looked at the three words on it, his nose is not his nose, his eyes are not his eyes, and he slapped the table in the imperial study. Yuan Hao, Chu Pei, and Rong Jingxuan were startled, and they didn't understand how they offended Emperor Wenyuan, this wine tasted good, ten times more delicious than their previous wine. And it's crystal clear, without a trace of turbidity, otherwise how could it be loved by everyone as soon as it was launched?

No matter what the mistake was, the emperor was angry and quickly admitted his mistake.

Emperor Wenyuan took a sip of wine. Squinted his eyes at the three people kneeling on the blue jade slab, and asked casually, "What's wrong?" ”

The three of them were dumbfounded, they couldn't open their mouths for a long time, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong, they looked at each other several times, and still didn't know what was wrong, so they went to look at Father-in-law Xu, Father-in-law Xu faked a cough, and his eyes were aimed at the red note on the wine jar.

Zhennan wine.

The three of them realized it later, their faces were stunned, stunned, and they forgot about this stubble, the emperor and the prince have never been very opposed, they took the word Zhennan as the name of the wine, and the emperor felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that they reacted, Gonggong Xu said, "Use the title of the prince as the name of the wine, and now everyone calls Zhennan wine the king wine, that's all, after all, the prince himself doesn't mind, but the quality of this wine is good, and the name is so special and meaningful, as the wine spreads all over the palace, isn't the name of the prince a household name?" ”

This is tantamount to helping the prince spread his reputation, thousands of years later, everyone is still talking about it, but who remembers the current emperor? Wine is a vulgar thing, which is more impressive than leaving a name in history, isn't this so that the prince can be immortal without entering history?

Of course the prince is happy, but the emperor is not worried!

Chu Pei and the three of them glanced at each other, to be honest, they originally planned to name Yue Liquor, but they didn't have the name of Zhennan Liquor domineering, they didn't think about it so much, in a hurry, they really didn't have any scruples, fortunately, no Yu Shi dared to impeach them for what they did wrong, and asked them to remove the name of the wine, wasn't it against the prince, no one dared.

After the three of them looked at each other, they hurriedly said, "The emperor doesn't know, this Zhennan wine is not the best wine, and the real wine can't be brewed in a short time. ”

Emperor Wenyuan was relieved to hear it, this means that he is more generous than the king of Zhennan, and the good wine is still brewing, and he didn't let the emperor know, so he can't blame them, Emperor Wenyuan thought for two seconds, and agreed.

Wenyuan wine.

The name of the wine is also good, but Zhiwan gave them several recipes for winemaking, and told them to choose a name, and the brand effect is very important.

Chu Pei was clever, and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers still have several wine recipes in their hands, and they ask the emperor to give them their names." ”

Gonggong Xu heard that his heart was hot, and Emperor Wenyuan asked Chu Pei to introduce the next kind of wine, and Chu Pei turned the wine into a seventh-grade wine.

There are four kinds of wine sold on the market, and there is no name, the fifth is Zhennan wine, followed by Wenyuan wine, the seventh is to brew for half a year, Emperor Wenyuan can't wait too long, it is a step higher than the king of Zhennan, and the left and right drinks are named after the name, Emperor Wenyuan immediately patted the case and said, "The seventh is called imperial wine!" ”

Full of domineering, Yuan Hao is worried, ordinary people dare not buy it, but it is given by the emperor, and there is nothing that dares to dare it, but the price must be high.

The fourth is named Yue Liquor.

The third, due to the difference in purity, is named after Yuan, Chu, Rong, Yuanjiu, Chujiu, and Rongjiu.

The second is named after Gonggong Xu, Xu Wine.

The first one, there is no need to name it, the price is low, it is a poor family, shrinking clothes and dieting for ten days and half a month, and they can afford it.

The fifth to the seventh are the finest water, the seventh and the sixth. It uses water from Yuquan Mountain.

The water used in Zhennan liquor is slightly inferior, but it is also a high-quality clear spring.

Those who are from high families will drink alcohol when they are young, even if the wine is stronger. If you are clearer, you can also find flaws, and since you want to do it, you must do your best!

There is also the price, the price of Wenyuan wine is ten times that of Zhennan wine, and the price of imperial wine is ten times that of Wenyuan wine!

The three of them calculated in their hearts, a jar of imperial wine, a medium and solid family is bankrupt!

However, Imperial Liquor is already taking the high-end route, with high brewing costs and good taste. I'm afraid that I can't buy it with silver, and the more expensive it is, the more sought after.

Less than three months after the promulgation of the prohibition of alcohol, liquor shops named after liquor in wine were opened all over the Dayue Dynasty, and there was no way, there was no liquor shop on any street. As soon as the ban came, the owners of the liquor shops did not know how long they would be banned, so most of them chose to sell at a low price, and the location was as they pleased.

In a word, for four months, the wine in the wine madly swept the streets, right. It's the streets and alleys, which restaurant doesn't drink?

Except for the liquor allowed by the imperial court, all those miscellaneous liquors were closed, and the imperial court ordered that the brewing of liquor should not exceed previous years.

Therefore, the restaurant had to go to the wine in the wine to buy wine. Fortunately, the price of the liquor is not much higher than usual, but the quality is better, and I liked it immediately.

In four months, the wine in the wine swept nearly 500,000 taels of silver from the Dayue Dynasty, and took 250,000 yuan to the king of Zhennan. Filial piety to the emperor 160,000 taels, the remaining 90,000 taels, the three of them divided.

160,000 taels of silver tickets, Emperor Wenyuan was not yet hot, and the king of Zhennan was asked to recruit troops.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

This is the benefit that the prohibition brought to the imperial court, not to mention the disadvantages of the ban, not to mention the other six families, that is, the Su family, which has suffered a lot of blows.

Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, food is the top priority, wine accounts for a large part of the food, the Su family has a business of wine, the court banned alcohol, and the Su family also broke two ribs.

The wine is smashed in my hand, and I can't sell it!

Secretly selling wine that is not allowed by the imperial court is punished with a rod at least and a crime of raiding the house.

Although the wine becomes more and more mellow, but storage, those shops, shopkeepers, men, daily expenses, is also a lot of expenses, and I don't know how long the prohibition will last.

The Su family was a little gloomy, and Mrs. Su wanted to help get a court permit at night, but she was too embarrassed to speak.

As a result, the day after the prohibition came, someone came to the door to buy the Su family's liquor shop, and Mrs. Su was angry.

At that time, Zhiwan was laughing with the old lady, and seeing that Mrs. Su was so angry, Poria was busy covering her mouth and laughing, "Uncle and wife, the name of wine in wine is still taken by the princess of the county." ”

Mrs. Su's headache was swept away, and she looked at Zhiwan intently, and Zhiwan was embarrassed, "The name was indeed taken by me, I just read it in Yuan Hao, Chu Pei and others wanted to help Xianggong and give them some sweetness, but I didn't expect their methods to be so powerful, and suddenly the imperial court promulgated a ban on alcohol, which affected the Su family." ”

can make the imperial court give up so many people, the price they pay is definitely not ordinary, but those three people, if there is no benefit, they will never do it, this point, Zhiwan is completely relieved.

Since the shop has something to do with Zhiwan, then this person can't be missing, and the people who come to Zhiwan are still a little familiar, as if they are the guards around Chu Pei, and they have a relationship.

Yuan Hao, Chu Pei, and Rong Jingxuan sent credible soldiers to disperse from Kyoto in three ways and start dealing with the wine shop.

Yongzhou is particularly special, the Su family's wine business is doing well, and it is the grandfather's family of the princess of the county, the three of them can be regarded as offending the Su family, so the people sent here must be even more powerful.

The guard's name was Chu Zheng, and he saluted when he entered the door, and directly explained his intentions, "Princess Jun, my young master said, how to deal with the wine in Yongzhou, let your subordinates listen to you." ”

Zhiwan glanced at Su Xiangxing, thought for two seconds and said, "The Su family's wine business has been hit, and I don't ask for much, I just ask that the profits of the Su family's wine are not less than in previous years, and the Su family's wine can't be sold, it can be sold to the wine shop, but how much wine the Su family buys from elsewhere, it will come in from the wine in the future." ”

That is to say, the Su family buys 100,000 catties of wine every year, and after the channel is broken, they take it directly from the wine, Chu Zheng doesn't say a word, he responds directly, and gives the lowest price.
