Chapter 128 [A group of old foxes accompany acting]
Popular recommendations:
"Hahahaha, General Guo, the ancients often said that after three days of separation, you look at each other with admiration. Your current situation is more than just admiration."
"I heard that Your Majesty personally selected the election and agreed to a reward, and directly let you guard the five palaces and become a general in one step..."
"Hahahaha, I won't say much. In short, this is the glory of our entire Langya."
"We ask the governor to hold a banquet today to give the general a welcome. According to the rules of the Langya people, wine must be drunk. Whoever falls down will be the man on the table..."
"How is General Guo, do you have the courage to fight with everyone? When it comes to great strength, you may be the best in the world, but if you talk about alcohol, we old guys will not agree with you, hahahaha."
...
Since ancient times, there has been little help in times of time, but it has always been more icing on the cake.
When Guo Ziyi attended the county magistrate’s banquet last time, she was only a seventh-rank county magistrate in a small county, so she was not valued and had a marginal status.
And there was something unhappy that happened. The Sun family of Langya intends to seize his winery. Although other aristocratic families have not expressed their opinions, they are also coveting them inside and out.
The banquet ended unhappily, and Guo Ziyi finally overturned the table as the ending.
Although he overturned the table, the various families of Langya were fearless and instead spoke, mocking Guo Ziyi as a reckless man who could not get on the table.
Reckless man!
Can't get on the table.
The implication of this is self-evident, which implies that Guo Ziyi is not qualified to be valued.
However, only three months have passed, and all the wind directions suddenly fell.
The former Lanling County Magistrate Yiyue became the General of Langya, and the emperor personally selected it and allowed the recruitment of elite soldiers.
This is almost the treatment of a vassal official.
It is even the prototype of the tenth vassal state.
...
The change in status is like a world of difference, but this is not the reason why the various families of Langya are eager to do. The real reason is the goods shipped by Guo Ziyi.
"Come on, General Guo, Lao Wang Chen, meet you with a glass. The Wang family of Wulangya has always been close to you, and even sent you the most outstanding nephews in the family to listen to. So no matter what, you must drink this glass of wine... The General will not give you face."
The opening remarks of this banquet were not led by the governor Li Boran, but rather by the head of the Wang family of Langya, who carried a glass of wine and walked around the table.
What is a table circling?
This is a kind of tribute at an ancient banquet.
Holding the wine glass around everyone on the table and finding someone to clink specifically is a special respect and a unique emphasis.
This kind of toast must not be drunk, otherwise it is no different from turning against each other.
So Guo Ziyi also picked up the wine glass, touched the head of the Wang family in a decent manner, then tilted his neck and drank it clean.
Suddenly there was a cheer at the banquet, and everyone praised: "I am worthy of being the top martial arts scholar, and I feel brave when drinking."
The head of the Wang family blushed and felt that his face was greatly increased.
However, at this moment, Guo Ziyi suddenly smacked her lips, then picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, with a very unhappy expression on her face: "I said why is this wine not strong enough? It turns out to be the lowest-end Lanling wine. Old Man Wang, you are not authentic. Since you are entertaining me to drink, why don't you get the best wine? For example, it's a paradise, and that thing is satisfying to drink. Especially now I am a general, and I have to drink that kind of wine to take advantage of my identity..."
Well, it's still the reckless man's routine.
He was stunned when talking, but he didn't know how to save face.
If it were the last banquet, I'm afraid the head of the Wang family would have been slapped, but this time, not only did he not slapped his face, but the head of the Wang family smiled bitterly and said repeatedly: "I'm ashamed, I'm really ashamed. The general's accusation was reasonable. The drinking used by this hospitality is indeed a bit bad..."
After saying that, he began to explain and continued to wear a wry smile and said, "But there is no way, I have no choice but to have enough energy. General, you brew your own paradise, so you are used to drinking that kind of fine wine.
But for us, the best quality is out of reach... it is not a problem. Since we want to entertain the general, we are not afraid of spending money, but, we can't buy it if we spend money in a paradise."
When the head of the Wang family said this, he smiled bitterly for the third time, turned around and looked at the governor Li Boran, pretending to be sarcastic: "If the general really wants to blame, he can only blame your good father-in-law. Since you went to Chang'an to participate in martial arts, your father-in-law directly sent troops to protect the winery. Let alone buy wine, we are not allowed to get close to..."
Guo Ziyi was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "The winery is not allowed to approach?"
The head of the Wang family smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's been three months. No matter how we request, the governor will never agree."
Guo Ziyi suddenly felt unhappy, and widened her eyes and whispered to Li Boran, saying, "If you want to buy wine, you don't allow people to get close. Isn't this ruining my business? How much less money should I earn in three months?"
It's still the reckless man's routine.
Even my father-in-law dares to argue.
But Li Boran did not see any anger at all. Instead, he explained with a smile on his face and said slowly: "I am worried that someone will covet the winery, so I made the decision to ban it. Don't complain, you kid, I haven't delayed your money..."
As he said, he stopped slightly, and smiled and said, "Although the winery was banned in the past three months, the ban was only aimed at outsiders. As for the wine workers in the winery, they are working hard to make wine every day."
"After brewing and storing, the more you get older, the more fragrant the wine becomes, so you should thank me."
"I forgot to tell you that Linglong asked me to do this, otherwise I would be full and care about your son-in-law's family's affairs."
When Li Boran said this, he took out a booklet from his arms and chanted it: "Now, you have saved more than 50,000 jars in your winery, including about 30,000 jars of the lowest-grade [Lanling Wine], about 18,000 jars of the medium-grade [Daughter Red], and finally, there are the fine wines that everyone desires, a paradise, two thousand jars..."
Gudu!
Everyone at the banquet suddenly saliated.
The head of the Wang family looked shocked, but his eyes burst into deep surprise, and his voice trembled: "Two thousand altars of paradise?"
Guo Ziyi's face was also shocked, and even a little confused, and subconsciously said: "Really, fake? How much food has been brewed in the paradise? My God, how much food does this need to be spent."
Li Boran snorted slightly, as if he was very painful: "My grain warehouse has been hollowed out, what do you think."
The father-in-law and son-in-law sang together, and the heads of the family present heard something. It turned out that the brewing of paradise consumed food, which led to low yields.
Fortunately, the governor Li Boran made a big move and even made two thousand jars in three months regardless of food consumption.
The heads of the family present looked at each other, and suddenly there was a smell of swords and shadows in their eyes.
Two thousand altars of paradise sound like a lot, but it may not be enough to divide it. If anyone can buy more jars of this superb wine, he can earn it with just one hand.
At this moment, Li Boran spoke again and said, "Actually, I feel sorry for it. I feel that it consumes too much food. But there is no way, Linglong is my only daughter."
As he said that, he glanced at Guo Ziyi and sneered: "When you were still in Chang'an and didn't come back, Linglong had already sent me a letter saying that you had negotiated a deal with Princess Qingyang, and a hundred paradises could sell her three thousand gold..."
"And I have collected another 150,000 yuan in huge sums of money and have set up another 500 gods of paradise. Together, you will be given the orders of up to 600 gods to Princess Qingyang."
"When I received Linglong's letter, there were only 70 paradises in the entire winery. In desperation, I could only grit my teeth and hold on. I opened my own grain warehouse and let the wine workers transport grain to the winery every day..."
"In addition, I also asked for help from the Wang family of Langya and Yan family. Fortunately, the head of this family was kind and urgently supported me with 100,000 kilograms of food. In this way, I could barely hold on."
When Li Boran said this, he looked at Guo Ziyi in displeasure and snorted coldly: "As a result, you are so good, you actually accused me of delaying your money. I really want to ask you, how much can two thousand paradises be sold?"
Guo Ziyi "as if" embarrassed, and said with a embarrassed smile: "A lot, a lot of money.uu reads books www.uukanshu.com."
Li Boran rolled his eyes and snorted coldly again: "I have known for a long time that you can't settle the accounts, so I calculated the numbers for you in advance. A jar of paradise is priced at more than 300 knots. Two thousand jars of paradise are the total price should be..."
"600,000 guan!"
As Li Boran slowly spoke these words, the whole banquet suddenly became silent.
Guo Ziyi also seemed to be shocked, and trembled and said, "This...this...this...this money?"
But Li Boran snorted again and said, "There is a lot of money, but not pure profit. In order to brew these fine wines, I have to pay 300,000 kilograms of grain. Although you are my son-in-law, we have to calculate the accounts clearly. I can't let you pay, but you have to return the grain to me."
When he said this, the governor took a deep breath and said with a very difficult expression: "Tell me the truth, you must return these foods, because I misappropriated the official food."
"Three hundred thousand jin, at least 250 thousand jin comes from the official warehouse. If the grain cannot be replenished in time, I will definitely be unlucky as the governor."
Guo Ziyi seemed shocked and said, "It turned out to be embezzling official grain? But how could I have 300,000 kilograms of grain?"
"Can't you buy it?"
Li Boran seemed to be angry and said with a pale face: "Can you want to pay your debts? Don't let me underestimate you."
The father-in-law and son-in-law were about to have a quarrel.
The major families present could no longer sit still.
The head of the Wang family spoke first and rushed to smooth things over: "General Guo, don't worry, I still have some surplus grain in my family. If you are willing to buy it at the market price, I can make the decision to sell it to you."
This is the bait.
