Chapter 326: The Wind Rises
Whether it was the bank lending grain to the family, or letting Tubo exchange livestock for wine, or secretly pushing the five surnames and Qiwang and other families to work hard to buy the wine back.
All of this is being carried out in an orderly manner within the plan.
Time flies quickly in the midst of hustle and bustle.
In a blink of an eye, it was the winter of Zhenguan's ten years.
November 20th, the first snow.
Lu Heng, who had returned to live in the princess's mansion, was roasting a fire in the house, leisurely taking Li Mingyu and Wu Zhao to play cards.
"Damn, you two are cheating, or do you have a novice aura?!"
Lu Heng, whose face was covered with notes, was dumbfounded.
He just taught the two of them to fight the landlord today, but it only took three or five to get familiar with the rules, and he almost lost so much that he didn't even have any underwear left.
Lu Heng's gaze roamed back and forth on Wu Zhao and Li Mingyu's faces, as if he was trying to find out the flaws in their cheating.
But alas, no.
Wu Zhao said with great interest:
"Teacher, this game you made is so interesting! I think that if these cards are developed to play more ways to play and promoted in Chang'an City, it will not be long before they will be as popular as the wine in restaurants! ”
Lu Heng complained in his heart-
You win more and lose less, of course, you find it interesting.
This little girl's brain is really good, and even herself, who was 607 in the college entrance examination that year, is ashamed of herself. In less than a year, he taught everything he could, and the students also accepted many children from acquaintances, but only Wu Zhao was the only one who could fully grasp and understand it.
The rest are either biased like Old Man Sun, or have a balanced development like Li Mingyu, and some of them are really not counted.
Li Mingyu was also very excited next to him.
"Xiaozhao makes sense, husband, this card is simple to make, you just need to spread it, although it will definitely be learned later, but we can also earn a lot of money in the early stage!"
Lu Heng sighed.
It's over.
A princess at a good end, a future empress in history.
was actually taught by himself to become a fan of two money!
He shook his head, and was about to say something, when the door suddenly opened.
The person who came was a rare guest.
Fang Xuanling stood at the door where the cold wind was blowing, looking a little anxious, but also with some desire to speak.
"Fang Gong, why do you have to be idle?"
Lu Heng greeted in surprise:
"It's cold outside, come in and sit down?"
Fang Xuanling entered the house in silence, it seemed that because the wind was too strong outside, his hands and face were blown a little stiff, and even his face was trembling slightly.
In the house, Li Mingyu and Wu Zhao looked at each other for a long time, and finally looked at each other, got up and prepared to go out, so that the two of them could have a separate space to talk.
However, Fang Xuanling, who seemed to be a little stiff by the wind, spoke out to stop them at this time.
"Princess, Miss Wu, you don't have to avoid it, the old man just came to ask about something, don't worry."
This made the two even more surprised and puzzled.
It stands to reason that on such a cold day, Fang Xuanling must have come over to discuss something important with Lu Heng.
Why don't you even avoid them?
Lu Heng was also a little incomprehensible.
He thought for a moment and said:
"What is the matter with Fang Gong's coming over today, you can tell me directly."
"I don't like to go around in circles......"
"What do you want to know?"
There was a long silence.
Fang Xuanling seemed to have made up her mind, and finally made up her mind to explain her intentions.
His face was still pale:
"At the beginning of the year, Zhenguan swept Chang'an for ten years, and it has been until today."
"In just one year, the price of alcohol has skyrocketed from 10 yuan per bottle to nearly 300 yuan today."
"At the beginning, the family members of the family came to ask the old man about the drink, and the old man was so moved by him that he also took out half of the family business and invested in it."
"But now it seems ......"
"The old man dared to ask, is there any problem with the skyrocketing price of alcohol?"
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Fang Xuanling to ask about this matter.
I didn't expect that even the prime minister of the dynasty was fooled into this game!
At this time, Li Mingyu next to him whispered a reminder in Lu Heng's ear.
"The wife of the Fang family, from the Fanyang Lu family."
She knew that Lu Heng had never cared much about these things, and the entanglement between the old family and the upstart of the imperial court was quite deep, and it was intricate, and Lu Heng couldn't figure it out.
Really.
After being reminded, Lu Heng suddenly slapped his thigh and said:
"I see!"
"So what are you going to do if you know what else is going on here?"
Fang Xuanling was originally very anxious and wanted to know the inside story quickly, but when Lu Heng asked like this, he couldn't fix him.
After hesitating for a long time, he said:
"If there is a problem, the old man naturally wants to take back the family business he has invested in as soon as possible."
"But please rest assured, I understand the rules, if you explain the matter, the old man will definitely not reveal it!"
Lu Heng tore off the sticker on his face, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his face.
He stared at Fang Xuanling for a long time:
"We've known each other for so long, and we're acquaintances. Explain to you that nature is possible. ”
"But ......"
"Can you tell me what is wrong with you?"
"After all, as far as I know, except for Chang'an, the Zhenguan series of wines are still selling well in Jiangnan, even better than before."
"In winter, everyone likes to warm up with some spirits."
"There shouldn't be a problem."
Since Lu Heng said so, Fang Xuanling also understands that this Zhenguan series of drinks, which are popular in Datang, must be greasy!
There was silence for a long time.
Fang Xuanling sighed:
"Although the price of wine is still frighteningly high, except for the Jiangnan side, no one in Chang'an and Luoyang continues to buy at high prices."
"The old man always feels that something is wrong!"
