Chapter 894 Three bowls of wine are punished
This matter passed in such a vague way, Zuo Weipan never mentioned it again, he understood at least one thing, that is, Xiao Chen would not bird Li Feng, not before, not now, and not in the future......
Before leaving for Mo Qian, Xiao Chen made a special trip to Shunfeng City and met Dugulou, and the two talked secretly for a whole day, no one knew what they were talking about?
Chose a good day and auspicious day, Xiao Chen, Gong Shouli, Zuo Weipan three adults set off and went straight to Moxi, although it was already early winter, but the road was still full of traffic, very lively, to the territory of Bailongzhou, the bustling bazaar was an eye-opener for the two.
Now the bazaar is already the scale of a city, with a resident population of more than 50,000 people, and a total of more than 100,000 floating population! Chen Jisheng personally named it Longjiang City.
Longjiang City is also a very distinctive city, because unlike other cities, it does not have any walls around it, and there are no garrisons, so it is a completely open city.
Driven by the Longjiang River, the people of the Xian and Mo tribes on the other side of the Bailong River also gradually gathered, forming two adjacent small cities.
The combined population is 20,000 or 30,000, and none of them have garrisoned here, nor have strict borders, allowing the common people of the three sides to come and go freely and trade freely.
Interestingly, although these two small cities also have their own names, the big guys are more accustomed to calling them Longjiang Left and Longjiang Right, referred to as Jiangzuo and Jiangright.
Gong Shouli was amazed, and Zuo Weipan thought to himself, Xiao Chen, you are still crying poor with me, just the annual income of your bazaar is only astronomical! Do you not collect land rent, but do you collect this transaction tax?
The transaction tax is only a very small part, and the income from the transaction is the big one, and now your Yanyun County has almost monopolized the fur cattle and horse business in the entire Great Zhou, no wonder so many people are jealous of Yanyun County and want to kill you and replace it!
In fact, Zuo Weipan still underestimated Xiao Chen, because although this bazaar has a lot of income, it is not the economic pillar of Yanyun County at all, or it only accounts for a small part of Yanyun's economy......
What really makes Yanyun County rich is the factories in Changshan Prefecture and the port trade in Shunfeng City.
Wen Chengxu set up a banquet for the three of them to wash the dust, and there was a heavyweight during the banquet, who was indeed heavyweight, because his weight looked like he was three hundred pounds!
If you don't laugh or speak, you laugh like Maitreya Buddha.
The identity is also heavyweight, he is the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce, the second brother of Queen Uloran of Moro, and Prince Podoro.
He, the foreign minister, is mainly the object of diplomacy in Yanyun County, and the main business activity he is responsible for is trade with Yanyun County, so he simply stayed here, and also built a very magnificent mansion, which is in the most central area of Longjiang City, and the big guys call it the prince's mansion.
Podoro has no ambition and no ability, but he likes to make friends, and his popularity in Yanyun County and the northern Xinjiang tribe is quite good, and everyone likes him very much.
When Wen Chengxu finished toasting, he stood up with a wine bowl, "Lord Gong, although it is the first time we have met, we have heard the name of Lord Gong for a long time in Xiake, and I don't dare to persuade Lord Gong's wine in Xia, so I will make three bowls first and talk about respect!" After saying that, he drank three bowls of wine in a row and grinned at Gong Shouli.
"Oh, Prince Podoro, this is embarrassing our family!" Gong Shouli was so happy that he did three bowls in a row.
"Lord Gong gives us face, so what else do you have to say? I have to accompany three more bowls, we can't speak, everything is in the wine. "Podoro did three more in a row, and he was very heroic.
"Lord Zuo......" Po Duoluo picked up the wine and smiled at Zuo Weipan.
"Hehe, I'm sorry Prince Podoluo, I drank too much in Yanyun County in the past few days, and I hurt my body, so I have quit drinking, prince, please take care of yourself." Zuo Weipan didn't even give face at all.
"Okay, okay, then I'll make three bowls of wine, Lord Zuo, you can just take a sip of it!" Podoro was not angry, he still smiled and drank three bowls of wine, and showed the bottom of the bowl to Zuo Weipan.
"I can't drink a sip." Zuo Weipan said coldly, "I see that the prince has a good amount of alcohol, I'm afraid it's okay to pretend to be ten catties or eight catties in this big belly, you like to drink, just drink it yourself." ”
"Hahaha, Lord Zuo made fun of it, but there is still a little bit of alcohol, I don't dare to say ten catties and eight catties, and I can't get drunk even if I am three or five catties, since Mr. Zuo said so, then I will drink three more bowls in the next." Podoro laughed and made three bowls in a row.
"Hehe, I'm just saying that casually, why are you still serious, prince? You're not a wine bag and a rice bag, how can you drink like this, haha, jokes, don't be surprised by the prince. Zuo Weipan said with a smile.
"No surprise." Po Duoluo still smiled innocently, "Actually, what Lord Zuo said is right, I am a wine bag and rice bag in the next place, I don't know anything, I don't understand anything, I make a fool of myself in front of adults, don't be weird, then Lord Xiao, I will salute you a few bowls of wine, okay?" ”
"No way!" Xiao Chen even refused, quite a lot of Luo was disappointed, sneering and about to sit down, but listened to Xiao Chen continue, "How can a few bowls be enough?" It's the first time we've had a drink, so we have to have fun! Let's see who gets under the table first? ”
Xiao Chen said and picked up the wine bowl, "Lord Zuo drank too much in Changshan, so that he was unwell, in the final analysis, I didn't take good care of him, so I drank these three bowls of wine for him, hehehe, this is not a toast, it is a punishment for wine, so I won't let you prince!" "After that, I drank three bowls in a row.
This is obviously to help Po Duoluo find face and speak to Zuo Weipan.
Zuo Weipan's face was expressionless, Gong Shouli's expression was expressionless, but Wen Chengxu was secretly strange, why is this Lord Zuo so unsympathetic?
Not only does he not give face to Prince Duoluo, but he doesn't seem to deal with the boss!
And the boss's sworn enemy, Gong Shouli, and this Lord Zuo also seem to be full of life, and they rolled their eyes at Lord Zuo several times just now...... What's the situation?
With Xiao Chen coming out, Podoro's face was recovered, but he never persuaded him to drink again.
Originally, he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but he made himself quite embarrassed, and muttered in his heart, he didn't know this Zuo adult, and he had no grievances, so I don't know why he embarrassed himself in public?
Only Xiao Chen knew that Zuo Weipan was not aiming at Podoro, but at Ulolan, he must have known that Uloran had a lot to do with him, so he gave Podora a dismount in front of him, suggesting that they were on the wrong side......
The wine was only halfway drunk, and the dishes were not yet ready, Zuo Weipan said that he was unwell and left the table, he left, and this banquet was naturally not easy to continue, so it was a displeasure.
