"The following officials have already sent people to various places with abundant yields to make distilled fruit wine, with wine dew, the taste is far better than ordinary distilled spirits, and the price is only 80 Wen."

"What?"

"In that case, wouldn't the distilled spirits we brew be unprofitable?"

Everyone's faces changed instantly, and they were all startled.

"Don't worry, you still have about a month to make a move.

In addition, if any family is willing to sell reserve grain to the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the lower officials will mix your distilled liquor with liquor (glycerin) at the lowest price according to the quantity of grain to make an immortal drunk.

So, you don't have to worry about earning less than others. ”

Jiang Chen directly threw out the killer idea.

The meaning is obvious: no matter how much distilled liquor you make, it is useless, because I can control the price of liquor by making bad liquor into good liquor through dew, and if you want dew, you have to take out food.

Hmm-

Everyone's faces twitched, and their faces were full of depression.

It was only then that they suddenly realized that they had been overjoyed too soon, and that they had been mistaken to make a fortune by obtaining the secret method of distilled spirits, because they had neglected the most important dew.

So, everyone smiled bitterly and said, "Master Jiang is worthy of being an immortal disciple, I'll wait for you!" ”

"In the future, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce must be the first of the chairman!"

After everyone figured out the stakes, the last trace of temper was gone, and they all said goodbye and left, and made an appointment to discuss with each other.

Xue Kunshan went to the Confucian Mansion and told Kong Duanyou in detail about the incident.

Kong Duanyou was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped the Kong family's brewing workshop that ran day and night, but he and many people had the same idea, thinking that after the Jiangnan Rebellion, the court would be very short of food, and the price of grain would definitely rise sharply.

Therefore, he didn't have the idea of selling a large amount of food from the Royal Chamber of Commerce, but only planned to pretend to be a good idea and get his brother Kong Duancao out of the prison.

Under the small calculations of Kong Duancao and countless people who thought they were smart, although Song Huizong released Kong Duancao and the others early the next morning, the purchase of reserve grain by the Royal Chamber of Commerce did not go smoothly, and the reserves were far from meeting Jiang Chen and Song Huizong's expectations.

However, this time they raided the house and copied a lot of grain, plus Liu Feng and Zhou Wei transported the Zhancheng rice from Zhancheng, Song Huizong and Jiang Chen did not have the slightest sense of worry.

Because soon those who think they are wise will regret it too late!

……

When Zhou Wei secretly transported the grain in batches to the imperial village controlled by Yang Jian in the outer city, Empress Zheng's birthday also arrived.

Just in time for the autumn harvest, Song Huizong simply held it with the autumn harvest ceremony in order to be lively, celebrating for three days.

But Cai Jing couldn't be happy anyway.

During this period of time, due to the independence of the Privy Council, he was impeached more and more, and Wang Hao and some wall grasses saw that the form was wrong, and they all turned to Cai You's side.

Liang Shicheng took the opportunity to rehabilitate Su Shi with great fanfare, and his relationship with him became more and more delicate.

And what made Cai Jing jealous the most was that Zheng Juzhong and Gao Yu were successively promoted to the Privy Council and Tongzhi Privy Council, and Nie Shan was also awarded the Privy Council for his merit in destroying the old pole underground, and because of Jiang Chen's relationship, they were very close to each other.

So Cai Jing, who was panicked, sent someone to deliver the news, urging Tong Guan to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and at the same time riveted his efforts to arrange the matter of collecting food privately.

plans to solve Jiang Chen's big problem at one time, and then unite with Tong Guan to clean up the group of scum and Zheng Ju who are whining all day long.

Wang Zhongyi's family was the most active in the matter of grain harvesting, and almost all their belongings were turned into grain, and in many places the peasants took away the grain as soon as they harvested it.

Because they were afraid of arousing Jiang Chen's vigilance, the price they gave was quite high, and the people were very happy, not only did they not make any trouble, but they also won a good reputation for the Wang family.

But Wang Zhongqi and the others didn't know that everything they did was seen by the spies of Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Division, and passed into the ears of Jiang Chen and Song Huizong.

Not only that, Cai Xue also privately provided clues to Song Huizong, so that Yang Jian found out that the person behind the scenes was Cai Jing's fourth son, Cai Xuan.

This made Song Huizong murderous to Cai You, who wanted to put him to death for the first time!

However, Cai Qian didn't notice it, while absentmindedly watching the various performances of the Autumn Harvest Ceremony, he and his younger brother Cai Yan frequently glanced at Zhao Fujin, the first beauty of the royal family.

The little princess, who is less than fifteen years old, has grown a lot taller during this time.

not only inherited the stunning appearance of Liu Guifei, the first beauty in the harem, but also the innate royal aristocratic temperament, coupled with her beautiful jade and flawless skin, making her the most beautiful scenery in the world no matter where she stands, giving people a sense of relaxation and enjoyment.

Cai Yan couldn't help but drool when he saw it.

Thinking that such a fairy who fell into the mortal dust should have been his quasi-fiancée, but he was stirred up by Jiang Chen's damn one, his heart was full of unwillingness and hatred, and he frequently arranged his hairstyle, hoping to attract Zhao Fujin's attention.

It's a pity that the corner of Zhao Fujin's eyes always stayed on Jiang Chen.

The little princess frequently carried out 'blackmail' on the grounds that Jiang Chen wanted her to prepare a gift for the queen's birthday, although Jiang Chen sent a lot of good things she liked during this time, but she said that those things were not suitable for the queen, and then kept them for herself.

Immediately, she continued to ask Jiang Chen for her senior sister's style, which became her special hobby and source of surprise.

Unfortunately, with the arrival of Empress Zheng's birthday, this daily surprise will eventually become a beautiful memory.

This made Zhao Fujin inexplicably a little lost, looking at Jiang Chen's figure and muttering, "I don't know if this disobedient little junior brother will continue to give me gifts in the future." ”

Jiang Chen didn't hear Zhao Fujin's broken thoughts because of the distance.

At this moment, he was talking with Lu Yihao, who was also the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and Zhu Yinian, the chief housekeeper of Taifu Temple, about those foreign envoys who came to worship on the occasion of festivals.

Lu Yihao, the character is straight, good at saddle horse bow and sword, capable and neat, and extremely capable.

But because of his superior background, he has developed a cold character of happiness and hatred, and he speaks straight and does not beat around the bush, not only wrote a letter of impeachment to cause Cai Jing to resign as prime minister, but also offended Kong Duanyou, the holy prince of Yan, in words.

If it weren't for the most powerful Sanlu family in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty (Lü Yijian, Lü Gongbi, Lü Gongbi, two prime ministers and a privy envoy), he would have been killed a long time ago.

But even with a strong background, he was targeted in the court because he loved to tell the truth.

All officials can be cronyistic, but if he wants to promote a cronie, he will have to be scolded and impeached, and if he accuses others, he will be scolded by Confucianism and Cai Jing and his gang as villains who take revenge on their grievances, and they are very aggrieved.
