The moment the door opened, everyone's eyes were on the door at the same time.

I saw several beautiful maids walking in with a delicate tray in their hands.

The leader of the group introduced the names of the dishes to the crowd as they put them on the table.

Next, except for the leading maid, the others walked back and forth twice before finishing all the dishes.

Fang Xuanling and the others listened to the introduction while looking at the dishes in front of them.

They knew almost all the ingredients, but many of them had never been made before.

Pei Mingli personally poured a glass of liquor for everyone.

Then he raised a glass of liquor as pure as water and said: "This wine is called Drunken Immortal Brewing, which is the method of brewing wine provided by His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”

He smiled and continued to everyone: "The villain said unceremoniously that this wine is the best wine in the Tang Dynasty. ”

After saying this, he tasted it in front of everyone.

Then he continued: "This wine has a clear and mellow aftertaste, but you must not drink it in a big gulp for the first time. ”

After listening to Pei Mingli's words, everyone carefully tasted it.

Then they understood the intention of Pei Mingli's reminder.

As soon as the wine entered his throat, it ran down his throat like a blazing fire, and soon a flame burned in his chest.

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of wine, and suddenly smelled a fragrance.

The crowd made the same move almost at the same time.

Then they couldn't help but speak in admiration.

Fang Xuanling said: "This wine is more strong than the third syrup, but it has a unique fragrance. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "At this time, the official's chest seemed to be burning with a flame, and he only felt extremely comfortable. ”

Dai Xuan said: "This wine is cleaner and more transparent than the imperial wine of the palace, and the strength is even stronger. ”

Duan Lun sighed: "This is the wine that men should drink!" ”

Pei Mingli said with a smile: "Although you adults can drink it with confidence, this wine is not easy to get on, and even if you get drunk, it is just a dream." ”

When the crowd heard this, their eyes lit up.

They were still worried that the wine would be like a syrup, and it would give people a headache when drunk.

Unexpectedly, Pei Mingli told them not to worry.

In that case, then everything today is going to be drunk.

So everyone completely let go of the amount of alcohol and drank lively.

At this time, on the first and second floors of the Jin King Pavilion, there were some people calling friends to come in and try.

Their original purpose was to see what was so special about the largest restaurant in Chang'an City.

I didn't expect to be attracted by the luxurious decoration as soon as I came in.

When I ordered food, I was taken aback by all kinds of strange names and high prices.

When they gritted their teeth and ordered the food, they were soon overwhelmed by the unique taste of stir-fried food and wine.

As soon as they left, they began to take the initiative to promote the Jin Wang Pavilion to others.

It didn't take long for new customers to bring in here.

So in just a few days, the business of King Jin Pavilion became hot.

In particular, the variety of sake here attracts a large number of good drinkers.

Although the wine of the Jin Dynasty Pavilion is much more expensive than other places, the quality of the wine far exceeds that of other restaurants.

The uniqueness of the Jin King Pavilion is far more than just the wine and food.

There are also baths and performances in the two annexes.

This allowed the Jin Pavilion to accommodate a wide range of customers.

The various industries in Chang'an City continued to send money to Li Zhi, so that he could build in Guangzhou with peace of mind.

Tens of thousands of prisoners of war needed nothing more than a sheltered dwelling.

Therefore, the products of the cement plant and the building materials plant were mainly responsible for the supply of the construction of the house.

As for the glass and cosmetics, they were sold directly to those foreign merchants by Li Zhi.

Li Zhi found a capable shopkeeper here and put him in charge of all the industries here.

This person's name is Ruan Hongxi, and he is a commercial broker in the city of Guangzhou.

Dedicated to helping people find sources, contact buyers, and so on.

Li Zhidi heard that this person was very talented and well-connected.

But unfortunately, he tried several times to start some foreign trade business on his own, but failed due to accidents.

Li Zhi felt that this was also a wonderful person, so he recruited him without hesitation.

Ruan Hongxi did not disappoint Li Zhi.

He soon used his connections to help Li Zhi win many big orders.

His approach is very different from Pei Mingli's.

Pei Mingli focused on developing Datang's domestic market, and rarely supplied large quantities to foreign merchants.

Ruan Hongxi, on the other hand, mainly sells goods to foreign buyers in exchange for more goods that Datang needs in China.

In business, with Ruan Hongxi's care, Li Zhi devoted more energy to the reclamation of wasteland.

He processed the felled trees into various building materials and ship boards.

Then a huge conservatory was built to dry the wood, which was heated and kept dry by burning coal.

The climate here is too humid for the wood to dry naturally under normal circumstances.

The fields that have been cleared will be planted with crops.

The temperature here is enough to ensure that the grain is ripe.

Guangzhou Governor Dang Renhong would come to talk to Li Zhi from time to time at the beginning.

But as time went on, he came less and less.

One is because Li Zhi is too busy, and the other is because he finds that Li Zhi doesn't seem to like seeing him very much.

Dang Renhong felt that he was also a third-grade member, and he had little intersection with Li Zhi's work.

So I simply returned to my previous state without any pressure.

But what Dang Renhong didn't know was that Li Zhi at this moment had already begun to secretly investigate him.

The reason is that Li Zhi found that there may be very serious corruption in the officialdom here.

Such suspicions are not unfounded.

Li Zhi had already discovered more than once that some foreign businessmen had blatantly offered bribes to ordinary officials.

This shows that this phenomenon has been around for a long time.

Since even a minor official without a formal establishment can blatantly accept bribes, how can other officials be clean-handed?

And a conscientious officer would never let this phenomenon persist for so long.

Li Zhi knew that Dang Renhong was the first person to follow the emperor, and he also knew that he was deeply favored by his father.

But he made Lingnan's officialdom full of miasma.

Li Zhi will definitely not tolerate such a person.

Therefore, once he has enough evidence, he will take down Dang Renhong in accordance with the law as soon as possible.

Many of the Dragoons had already been sent out by him as merchants.

Although they are all new faces, they don't attract attention at all here.

These people obtained all kinds of goods from Ruan Hongxi in secret ways, and then started a business outside the city of Guangzhou.
