A man of high morals, a man detached from low tastes, at least that's what I demand of myself. As for other people's opinions, anyone who disagrees must be a villain with moral corruption and low taste.

Liu Renliang was a man of different opinions, although he repeatedly praised me at the wine table for my vast knowledge and talent, and as a rare and intelligent person; But he questioned my way of dealing with the world, and at some point questioning was negation, or listening to it became negation.

Talented, I like to listen to this very much, although my talent may not be worthy of this word, from Liu Renliang's solemn expression when he praises, it can be seen that he is serious, and there is no such perfunctory meaning, indicating that at least in terms of knowledge, I have received undue respect.

As for the principle of living in the world, Lao Liu is not qualified to find fault with me. In the world, whether it is now or fifteen hundred years from now, only my mother has the right to accuse me, and others say that he is only a fart. Am I not sanctimonious enough? Am I not compassionate enough? I did the same thing I had to do. To say that I only care about peace and pleasure and do not know the sufferings of the people is purely an attack and slander, a rumor-mongering, a frame-up, and a reactionary!

Lao Liu was a little excited to see me, they are all people with status, although it is a restaurant outside the city, but it is impossible to fight, so he has to list some unwarranted views with a pleasant face to try to convince people with virtue.

Liu Renliang mentioned that flower water, the pillar industry of the Wang family before shipping made a fortune. In terms of its own efficacy, it is only used to prevent mosquito bites or sometimes mask body odor, and there is no other use. But the price is staggering, not to mention the hard people, even the well-to-do and wealthy middle-sized families can only stop sighing, and it has become a luxury that only a few people can enjoy, Lao Liu thinks that such a good thing has lost its meaning of existence at such a high price.

"Really?" I shook my head disapplausively, "It has nothing to do with the Wang family." The Wang family only provided a piece of unused land for the use of the toilet water producer, mainly for the welfare of the surrounding farmers, and the price was not within the scope of the Wang family's decision. ”

Liu Renliang nodded, didn't say more, but took a bottle of Jiuhua jade packaged by the Chen family's royal special tribute from the tie and put it on the table, "It is a benefit given by the inner government to officials above the sixth grade, clear the brain and refresh the mind, and it is indeed effective to use a little bit when you are entangled in official business." If you say that this Chen family's hands and feet are all over the world......" Speaking of this, he shook his head and laughed at himself: "But he is a law-abiding merchant, hehe......"

"That is, it is the first condition for allowing the Chen family to come to Zhuangzi to open a workshop, and if you don't obey the law, you won't spare him if you are the first one!" I picked up the bottle of Jiuhua Yulu and looked at it, exquisite, it is the ability of the fourth child to take down the royal tribute, not to mention that the inner government has turned on the green light, Lanling also took the fourth child in and out of the palace A few times in and out of the palace. If you want to say that this job has to be a girl's house. Don't talk about entering the palace, there is a danger of pulling the bureau to ask questions outside the door, I have experienced it myself, and I have palpitations when I think about it.

Liu Renliang believes that the flower water is very representative, and it is one of the few good things that are beneficial to the body and mind in luxury goods in these years. And very solemnly emphasize this point. Although most people can't figure out the reason, the plague of headache and brain fever has been significantly reduced, especially in the spring and summer.

As he spoke, he also handed over a military report that Qin Yucai sent back shortly after he took over Jiannan's defense. Among them, there are a few words to ask for credit for toilet water manufacturers. The general idea is that mosquitoes are rampant in hot and humid areas, and various diseases are constantly caused by bites, and the non-war attrition is particularly serious, once reaching the point where it is difficult to control; However, after using the toilet water donated by the Chen family, this situation has been greatly reduced, and it is not too much to describe it as a life-saving medicine.

It's very interesting, Qin Yu is fighting for the fame of the Wang family's industry in disguise, and it is his own family's behavior of praising his own family. I've seen this military newspaper before, and it doesn't mean much. I don't really take it to heart. It may be another matter to take it out of Liu Renliang's hands, Lao Liu thinks that now that Tubo is worried about internal strife, for the Tang Empire, the sharp and fierce opponent of the year no longer exists, and in the next few years, the strategic focus will be shifted from the west to the south, and it is time to calm down the hidden disaster of the Southern Zhao Ministry.

Not to mention the conquest, now because of the hot and humid climate, even the garrison does not give enough weight to the pressure of Nanzhao, and the soldiers' unnecessary attrition is the biggest problem. And the existence of flower water makes Lao Liu see hope. focused on Qin Yu's military report: "When I first saw General Xiao Qin's military report, the old man was inconvenient to comment on the position of the matter. Now it's different, and we can't turn a blind eye when there should be a reason. ”

What should I do? glanced at Lao Liu, the old guy is not what it used to be, he was just a speech official back then, saying that this was overstepping his authority, and now he is a dignified prime minister, and it is reasonable to bring up the old things again. Nodding, I am now on the position of Wang Jiadi, and it is not good to give a positive answer on the ownership of the flower water. Lao Liu's words are right, but he shouldn't have discussed with me, just talk to the Chen family, I don't know what he has in mind.

Liu Renliang smiled and took the initiative to bring up the wine jug and pour a full glass, "Flower water is just a reason, and the disagreement between the young eunuch and me is not on this, the old man mentioned it in passing." As the head of the family, the young eunuch is doing his best, so he doesn't talk about the dew water, this weaving workshop is the cause, right? ”

That's right, at first, I just couldn't get used to being a hypocrite like Lao Liu, and I didn't have too many opinions about him, just psychological likes and dislikes. But since I got out of the bend and pulled the Ministry of Industry to the weaving industry in the name of it, I hated him, and then all kinds of contradictions can be said to have appeared because of this thing. didn't say a word, leaned his neck and smothered a glass, threw the wine cup on the table, stretched out his chopsticks and stuffed two mouthfuls of snacks.

"That's right," Liu Renliang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It seems that it's because of this." I have no grudges and no enmity in the Wang family, and the young eunuch's talent is also obvious to all, if it is only based on personal relations, the old man's thing is indeed inappropriate, and it can be said that it is a stupid act that harms others and is not beneficial to himself. ”

, and face to say. I didn't owe Liu Renliang money, nor did I say that I robbed his daughter to make a third room, let alone knock his father to death with a hammer, and the business with the inner government was doing well, the division of the field was clear, and everything was so happy. Suddenly, he fell into the old immortal trick, although he had long expected that the Ministry of Industry would enter the weaving industry. However, Liu Renliang's actions made the Ministry of Industry a few years earlier in the time of getting involved in the weaving industry, and disrupted the plan for me and Lanling to calmly face the challenges of the Ministry of Industry after accumulating a certain foundation. In order to deal with the predator of the Ministry of Industry, the two families had to increase their investment and cause the Wang family to operate in debt. It's okay not to say it, but as soon as I say it, my stomach is on fire, and I grabbed the wine bottle and put it on my mouth and went down with a small half bottle.

"But the old man doesn't regret offending the Wang family and the inner government," Liu Renliang changed his words, and his tone became excited. It's not that I regret it, the old man even thinks that doing this is more worthy of his conscience. In the world, if it is the millet of mistletoe, the gold of the name, and the selfish life of oneself, what is the use of enjoying the old age? Cotton is a thing advocated and promoted by the young superintendents, which can be said to benefit the country and the people, and will be enjoyed for eternity. If only the inner government and the royal family run it. It is just a means to seek personal gain, and now the price of cotton fabrics on the market remains high, and the people are still in rags, which is contrary to the intention of this promotion. If the Ministry of Labor is involved......" he said and picked up the flask and shook it, calling the man to serve another jug of wine. Pointing to a plate of fish on the table, he said: "Catfish, to borrow a famous metaphor from the young eunuch, the Ministry of Industry is just a catfish, if you enter this pool." It is not far off from the day when cotton cloth will enter the homes of the people. ”

"Oh," I nodded, right, we can't dismiss it. Lao Liu compared the Ministry of Industry to a catfish, and the emperor didn't treat Lao Liu as a catfish, and the catfish bit the catfish. No wonder the old guy specially ordered a plate of fish, it was very rare, and he thought he ate this. Half a day is reserved for this moment to make an analogy, to be honest, this fish tastes very bad.

"I don't mean anything else, when I say it, I can make it clear that I can reduce some misunderstandings with the young eunuch. said that Liu was an upright person who didn't understand the old man, and those who said hypocrisy didn't understand the old man; But hypocrite, if you want to be famous, even if it's not all right or wrong......" Liu Renliang toasted. A long sigh. "Some people often sigh that they are tired of fame, but the old man is indeed fame."

It was not easy for the old man to say this. I'm afraid that I would have to drink a few more glasses before I dare to say it so unscrupulously, and I will definitely not admit it if I ask him tomorrow morning. For the sake of fame, the key to it is poured out in a word, although it is shameless, it is still honest in the end. Unlike me, I can distinguish between the importance and the importance of it, and when I sacrifice my wealth to protect my life, my life is absolutely first; But some of the names are different, compared with their names and lives, Liu Renliang would rather sacrifice his life to protect his name. So I can't him, no one can him, and fighting with a neurotic who doesn't even care about his life is a fight with himself, there's no need for that.

No wonder Lan Ling bluntly said that he was afraid of Liu Renliang, and he couldn't be afraid, I was furious after listening to Lao Liu's words, so I quickly found a step for myself, and arched my hand: "Superintendent Gao Yi, compared with you, I am not as good as one, this Daigo empowerment words, this time I have been taught." ”

Liu Renliang was a little surprised, seeing that I had changed so quickly, he didn't expect it, so he hurriedly returned the salute. Suddenly reacted and laughed, shaking his head while laughing, "The young eunuch has taken measures, Liu is just a heartfelt word, why bother?" ”

Sometimes I don't listen to my heartfelt words, but this heartfelt word of the old man is no different from a threat, he should invite Li Yifu to drink, or Xu Jingzong can do it, it's a bit too much for me, but I'm a law-abiding and good citizen, and it's not cost-effective to find me desperately.

There is no recording equipment, if you record this paragraph and play it out, you can ask Lao Liu for it, Lan Ling didn't care about what I relayed, "Don't tell me, I won't tell others, the saint just laughed when he heard this." Liu Renliang can give you this to say this, I think you have the qualifications to listen to this, maybe you are better than him in countless places, but in terms of being a person, you and I are not as pure as Liu Renliang, and should be respected. ”

Nodding, that's it. Some people do bad things indomitable, some people try their best to be good people, I am a tireless pleasure, and Liu Renliang is the name of the agency. The pursuit is different, there is no need to use your own outlook on life to measure others, villains, gentlemen, and hypocrites may be the same person, it depends on what angle you use to look at it.

I only pursue what I want, and looking for Lanling today is not to say anything bad about Liu Renliang's character, the main reason is that Lao Liu suddenly has his own way of understanding the flower water, which makes people a little uncertain. It stands to reason that a commodity has been recognized by the imperial court and the military, which is the realm that the owner dreams of. After listening to my description, the fourth child felt very proud, not to mention whether it has such a great effect, as a trader, it is considered a success to be able to promote a product to such a point.

But I have a different opinion, things are good, but people who do things are wrong. I'm glad someone else said that. The words of praise that can come out of Liu Renliang's mouth have to be listened to selectively, this old guy is not a good match, he praises the chicken when he kills the chicken, and praises the sheep when he kills the sheep. I'm not sure, so I'll have to discuss it with Lanling.

"No one was going to kill you." Lan Ling smiled, "I'm always wary, it seems that people all over the world plan to get along with your Wang family." ”

"If he really can't get by, I'm really not afraid, I'm afraid of this bad luck. It's hard to tell the good from the bad. ”

"Don't be beautiful yet, it's hard to argue." Lan Ling glanced at him, "The imperial court can't afford to buy your family's flower water, if you really plan to do things for the army, whether you lose or earn, you have to give it to your family...... Oh, give the Chen family a rhetoric. Like anti-virus wine, how much benefit did Chen Jiaguang fall from this reputation? Now, if you add flower water, it will not work without rewarding. If you do it, you don't know what reward to give. ”

"Reward?"

"yes, I'm afraid I can't drag it out." Lan Ling tilted his neck and leaned on a cool pillow, "The method of steaming wine is dedicated to the Ministry of Industry, so no matter who owns the winery, the credit can be counted on the head of the Wang family." Everyone is also willing to count the merits of the military headquarters in disinfecting the wine land as the Wang family, after all, it was passed out after saving Old Man Li's life. But the flower water is different, it has always been the banner of the Chen family, and once it is used in the army, it is the first contribution of the Chen family. If it is really a disaster in the southwest for this, the Chen family is only afraid that there will be a great reward. ”

No wonder, the fourth child has been unusually happy recently, yesterday he smashed the second daughter and a walnut provocation, although in the end the second daughter was found back to the field, but the fourth child did not have the slightest expression of annoyance, and put a head on the peach oar and let the second daughter "wait!" ”

If it is really Lanling, then the Chen family can be regarded as turning over. Turned over from Chen Laosi's hands. Nothing else, no matter what kind of reward it is, even if it is just a formal award of merit and medal, how much face does the first merchant who won the imperial court medal have, the last verbal award made the Chen family walk sideways in the business community in the capital, and this time a physical reward must not be turned over?

"Okay? It's just a businessman, and he doesn't have that status when he goes out and goes in. ”

"Why not!" Lan Ling bowed and sat up, "There is another reason for saying this a few years ago. Now I have to ask if I can say yes. Robbed you? Owed you money and didn't pay it back? ”

"......" is not interesting. That's how I asked Lanling back then, and now I'm asking back. The transition is a bit quick. Thoughts lag behind and don't keep up with the trend.

It was not easy to correct the concept, and it was not easy to cultivate himself into a bit of aristocracy, and it took a lot of effort to learn the various actions and expressions that everyone despised the merchants, although the Wang family also secretly did business, but on the surface they had to make the appearance. Since the businessman vigorously donated money and property to Luochuan for disaster relief, the status has been significantly improved, and the various contributions to the country after the internal government entered international trade have calmed down some alternative voices in the government and the opposition, and the status of the businessman has further risen.

"Don't look like that, it's like eating a fly." Lan Ling stretched out his hand and pushed me, "It's not so fast, step by step." Let the Chen family handle this matter well, and with the appearance of the Chen family, businessmen will have more hope in the future. ”

It's good, not only the fourth child is angry, but even the mother-in-law is happy. In order to distinguish the difference between civilian and military, Lao Si decided to develop several new fragrances suitable for hot and humid areas before formally discussing the toilet water proposal with the military department.

All the investment came from the Chen family, and the fourth came to me to discuss when there was no one, and wanted to borrow a few people from the R&D team mastered by the second daughter, and promised that the formula would be kept by the Wang family, but the R&D process should be supervised by her personally.

"It's not good," the second daughter shook her head after listening to my words, "let the fourth child give the money to the concubine, and what conditions will be opened and the concubine body will be handed over to the below." You can't borrow someone. ”

"Do you think that's okay?"

"Don't worry, husband, the fourth child doesn't have this ability, and he has to ask for a concubine in the end." The second daughter's eyes flickered, "It's always a thing, although it is an institution in the flower water workshop, but the concubine wants to separate the people who developed it from the workshop recently, and change it to a new name to distinguish it from the flower water workshop." In the future, it will be a new department, which will be managed by our Wang family. ”

"Be careful that the fourth man smashes you with a scale." The method is good, stripping is not only convenient for management, but also can improve efficiency, very scientific, very advanced production mode. But such dry words will inevitably make the old four angry, which is not in line with the management concept of this era, nor is it in line with the interests of Chen Jiadi.

"I'm not afraid," the second daughter bent over and pinched her toes Xueying to do pregnant woman exercises, wrenching back and forth to make various shapes for her feet, "Tomorrow the concubine will talk to her, she is in a hurry now, and she can accept any conditions." In the future, the Chen family will really be like what her husband said, with a reward, a status, and a title, but you can't expect the Chen family to bow down like now, there must be a place to hold her, or it really can't be suppressed. ”
