Chapter 63: Greedy for His Credit, Huh!
Lord Liu naturally knows about the place of Chunfeng Liu, not only knows that he has also been there, of course, he is a treat from others.
Thinking that Cheng Daqi is willing to show goodwill, he also has to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, not to mention that Cheng Daqi's disaster relief errand is indeed done well, and there will be no opportunities in the future, and there will be no loss in making friends.
Of course, at this time, you can't let your family Shunyi pay money, "Uncle has said that we have gone to our hearts, and I have long wanted to have a few drinks with my uncle, today I am the east, and my uncle can't rob me." ”
Cheng Daqi glanced at Cheng Daqian sideways, and laughed at the same time, "In this way, we are not welcome to let Lord Liu break the bank." ”
"Uncle is polite, please."
The group got into the carriage and went to Chunfeng Building, and Lord Liu, who didn't know what would happen, had a smile on his face, saying interesting things, Cheng Daqi laughed very happily, and he was very energetic.
Cheng Xiaosi didn't sleep until midnight this night, when she fell asleep, Cheng Daqi and others were still eating wine in Chunfeng Building, seeing the wine jar placed on the ground, looking at the girl who was known as the most beautiful girl in Chunfeng Lou playing pipa music, Lord Liu felt that every note could kill him, how could these people in the Cheng family drink like this?
How much money will it cost tonight?
Except for the Cheng family brothers, no outsiders know that the Cheng family man has no ceiling in drinking, in Cheng Xiaosi's words, he is born insensitive to alcohol, and he will not get drunk no matter how he drinks, which is also the secret of the Cheng family, and it is a sharp weapon on the wine table.
Cheng Daqi wanted to come to Santan Wine again, and he felt that this Chunfeng Building was worthy of its name, the wine was really delicious, and it was really pleasant to drink, especially when he looked at Lord Liu's face who had already considered selling himself, his heart was even more happy.
"Why don't you drink it, come on, come on, this is the best wine in Chunfeng Building, it's beautiful, I have to ask Lord Liu to mention more in the future."
"Ah, oh, don't dare, uncle, too polite."
Seeing such a good wine being drunk by the Cheng family, Lord Liu's heart hurt even more, he was originally going to endure the hospitality, he also let it go, so much wine, it's a pity not to drink it, "Come, Cheng Erye drink one, this wine is really good." ”
"The sons of the Cheng family are also capable of coming, coming and drinking."
Cheng Youqian raised his glass, "Today I have the blessing of the adult, otherwise how would I know that there is such a fine wine in the capital, my lord, the little nephew will give you a glass." ”
"Hahaha, drink, good wine."
The pipa sound didn't know when it changed to a cheerful tune, and Lord Liu was one cup after another, imagining that if he was drunk and unconscious, would Cheng Daqi just pay for the wine?
When I think about it, the more I drink, the happier I get.
This night, Lord Liu was carried back, and he went back with the bill of Chunfeng Building, looking at the number on the list, Mrs. Liu almost fainted on the spot, Cheng Youqian was very apologetic, "Originally, my uncle wanted to have a treat, but Lord Liu said that he didn't agree to anything, saying that we were going to pay the silver is to look down on him, and in the end we can only be respectful and obedient, and the adults are also happy, if it weren't for my uncle to stop quickly, all the expenses of Chunfeng Building tonight Lord Liu will be covered." ”
"I sent it back to my wife, and my uncle said that today is not counted, and I will have a banquet for Lord Liu another day."
After a burst of fanning the flames, Cheng Youqian replied with a smile, leaving the unconscious Lord Liu to be twisted several times by Mrs. Liu, unconscious.
The next day, Cheng Xiaosi, who had cleaned up, entered the palace with her father, and went out to see the people of Liu's Mansion next door to ask for a husband, and only after asking did he know that it was Lord Liu who fell, Huahua made a little silver to inquire, and came back and whispered that Mrs. Liu had scratched Lord Liu's face this morning, and asked him to sell his beloved Danqing to pay for the wine, but Lord Liu did not agree, and after arguing a few words, he accidentally stepped on the air, fell from under the eaves to the yard, and knocked his head.
Cheng Daqi got into the car satisfied, greedy for his credit, hum!
This is the third time Cheng Xiaosi has entered the palace, she has learned not to look around, and when she sees the emperor, she knows that her luck is not very good today, and she doesn't know what happened, the emperor's face is written with the words 'I am very unhappy'!
"The courtier Cheng Xiaosi asks the emperor for peace, long live the emperor."
The emperor was stunned for a moment when he saw her, and then he realized that he had called her here, raised his eyes and saw Cheng Daqi, thinking about the matter of the early dynasty today, so he asked, "You said before that you contacted merchants to donate money and food, what's wrong?" ”
Cheng Daqi gave up his hand, "Back to the emperor, today Weichen is about to discuss this matter with the emperor, and Weichen's second brother has already contacted the merchant and is willing to give food." ”
"Okay, I know that you are doing things properly, how about it, how much are you willing to pay?"
Cheng Daqi said: "Add up to 10,000 catties of food, enough for the three Fang cities rescued by Weichen to eat for a few days." ”
"Ten thousand?"
The emperor was obviously dissatisfied with this figure, and snorted, "It seems that these merchants are not really for the country, and they are just selling their reputations. ”
Cheng Daqi was nervous, Cheng Xiaosi understood what the emperor meant, and when she saw that her father was sweating, she couldn't help but open her mouth, "Your Majesty, there is a saying among the people that if you want a horse to run, you have to give the horse grass; There is also a saying that burn more incense on weekdays, so as not to temporarily hold on to Buddha's feet. ”
The emperor looked at Cheng Xiaosi with an elegant look in his eyes, "Go on." ”
Cheng Xiaosi said: "The status of merchants is low, they are not treated by dignitaries and nobles on weekdays, and they have to take money to open the door for everything, it can be said that they have not enjoyed the preferential treatment given to them by the imperial court, and they have not been taken care of on weekdays, and it is not willing to have 10,000 grains at this time." ”
"In their eyes, the court can't think of them on weekdays, so they have to pay for food at this time, and they are naturally a little reluctant in their hearts."
What she said was the truth, but the emperor obviously didn't think so, the whole world was his, was there anything wrong with him asking the merchant to give money?
Do you want to give them benefits?
Cheng Daqi also understood at this time, and said quietly, "I heard that Emperor Dongshu will send a plaque with an inscription when he gets the money and grain of the merchants, how much glory is it for a merchant to be able to go to the emperor's imperial pen plaque?" ”
"It is to many merchants to follow suit, Dongshu also has a lot of good for the merchants of the decree, encourage merchants, enhance the status of merchants, have you heard of the annual annual fair in Dongshu, our merchants in Xijin want to participate, it is said that when the New Year's fair is opened, there is no room in the capital of Dongshu is empty, the teahouse restaurant is full every day, and the tax of the imperial court can be more than one million taels a month."
"Your Majesty, Wechen thinks we can follow suit, and Wechen is willing to take the lead."
The emperor was unwilling to be compared to Emperor Dongshu from the bottom of his heart, and he was even more reluctant to learn from him, but one million taels was very tempting!
As for the decree to encourage merchants, it's not that there is nothing, it's just that those bastards didn't implement it for him, when he didn't want to make money?
It seems that he should kill a few more people.
