Zheng Bin was like a headless fly, and after several days of collision, he finally came up with some solution.

After several twists and turns, I finally learned about the spirits from a quack doctor in the governor's office that day.

The Zheng family was as if they had a treasure. They immediately followed suit and tinkered with it for several days. Finally, they found a specious wine purification equipment.

Then the temperature of the heat was tested and the settings were adjusted. It took several days before and after, and finally the spirits were purified.

Zheng Bin tasted it and was very proud. It turned out that the method was so simple and there was not much magical! Xie Yi and the Lu family could make a jade flower brew, so what's wrong with the whole plum flower brew of his own?

But the smart shopkeeper did the calculations and then shook his head and said, "Young Master, this legal spirit is slightly simplified. If it is brewed in large quantities, the cost will be very high. It will be several times the current sales of the Lu family, and there will be no profit."

"How could it be?" Zheng Bin's eyes widened, unbelievable. Xie Yi and Lu Tong were selling wine without paying money? Obviously impossible.

The amount of alcohol sold by the Lu family business in the past few days is amazing. If it were calculated based on this cost price, the Lu family business would have closed down long ago.

What's going on?

Does Xie Yi have other ways to make wine? This seems to be the only reasonable explanation.

Zheng Bin threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, sighed hatefully, and had to admit that he lost to Xie Yi in this matter again.

While being angry, he was not allowed to consider it. He had to explain to his father and even his hometown in Xingyang for a series of confusion and mistakes recently.

The children of aristocratic families suddenly felt that life was so difficult!

...

"Qionghua Brew?!"

Hou Junji held a cup in his hand and drank it lightly, sighing as he stuttered: "Isn't this the wine that Xie Yi purified for Tianyou the day he cured his illness? If he changed his name, he would be popular all over the city?"

Helan Chushi replied: "Yes, but the brewing method should be adjusted, otherwise the price would not be so low. This wine is now popular and the wine customers are rushing to buy it. I heard that some foreign merchants have come here."

"In this way, it is the Lu business that is openly Lu's business, but Xie Yi is also involved in it in secret?"

"It's true!"

"At a young age, versatile, not simple!" Hou Junji sighed, "I heard that he was in the Red Mansion that day, and he was very good at writing?"

Helan Chushi felt aroused in his heart, and knew that some things could not be hidden, so he had to say truthfully: "Yes, my son-in-law later asked him, and the article was called "The Inscription on the Humble Room", with beautiful words and lofty ideas. In addition, the two poems "Spring Dawn" and "Jobs in the Military" should also be his work."

"Sure enough, this guy is really extraordinary." Hou Junji nodded and asked again: "Did you know why he didn't come to contribute that day?"

Perhaps because he was stimulated in Chang'an, Hou Junji, Duke of Chen, has always been resentful about this matter and wants to know the answer.

"The son-in-law did not ask directly, but learned a little indirectly; first of all, Xie Yi is smart and intelligent, but there are many extraordinary things. In some places, he is similar to the Yishishi in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and his strange people have many quirks, so he may not be in the career of the officialdom;

Maybe he was interested, but... although he was talented, his reputation in the past was really bad. The court always valued both talent and virtue; and that is, he really needed money to make a living at that time." Helan Chushi told all the reasons he had made up for, which was basically reasonable.

After listening to it, Hou Junji pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Chu Shi, you should have told me earlier..."

"My father-in-law, I..." Helan Chu Shiqing knew that he had seen through his mind and couldn't help but be embarrassed, and he didn't know how to defend himself for a moment.

"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and you have to see what Xie Yi thinks. You can find an opportunity to ask for me!" Hou Junji looked at his son-in-law, which was meaningful.

Helan Chu Shi was as bright as a mirror, but he had no choice but to nod and agree.

"By the way, did Xie Yi even cheat the Zheng boy that night?"

"Yes!" Helan Chushi nodded angrily. As a son-in-law, Xunhua asked Liu how good his face could be? Even if the powerful family was ordinary, it would be a little embarrassed.

Hou Junji had no expression on his face and told him calmly: "Do you have a show and stop when you go back to Chang'an. Treat me well after you go back to Chang'an."

"As per the teachings of my father-in-law, the son-in-law will never let his wife and children suffer grievances..." Helan Chushi breathed a sigh of relief and said warmly: "How about I send someone to bring their mother and son to Chenzhou, and the whole family will share family?"

"No need!" Hou Junji waved his hand and said, "The cold winter month is approaching, why bother to travel thousands of miles. After the Shangyuan period, you can go back to Chang'an!"

"My father-in-law, your two uncles are not by your side. Tianyou is still young. If your son-in-law leaves, who will serve you?" Helan Chushi's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little confused about his father-in-law's pulse.

"I'm not that old yet?" Hou Junji smiled and said, "There is naturally a reason to ask you to go back... After spring, I might leave Chenzhou."

"Uh... what did my father-in-law say?"

Hou Junji waved his hand and said, "Don't ask more questions. When you return to Chang'an, you will understand naturally."

"Yes, my son-in-law knows." Helan Chushi nodded, but a big question mark appeared in his heart. What's wrong with Chang'an?

...

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, was the largest city at that time, standing on the Guanzhong Plain and the coast of the Wei River.

Tai Chi Palace is located in the north of Chang'an City, close to Longshouyuan. It is majestic and spectacular. It is the royal palace of the Li Tang Dynasty and the center of the empire.

In Chang'an in winter, the sky is so gloomy. Even though it was only noon, Chengqing Hall was already shining brightly and brightly lit. There was no way, and Emperor Li Shimin reviewed memorials on a daily basis and met with ministers alone.

At this moment, the majestic and powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was getting angry: "How did the Chief Secretary of the King of Wu's Mansion be this powerful all-time fact?"

Uh... the ministers who were waiting beside each other couldn't help but look disappointed and speechless.

Today, a censor wrote a letter to impeach the great governor of Anzhou. King Li Ke of Wu stepped on farmland while traveling out to hunt, destroying many crops. In this feudal society that focuses on agriculture and encourages farming and sericulture, it is a relatively serious problem.

His Majesty the Emperor was indeed furious, but the object of his anger was a little strange. He did not blame King Li Ke of Wu who was trampling on the farmland, but instead pointed the finger at the head of the royal palace, Shi Quan Wanji.

A moment later, a sudden sentence popped up: "Qiuan Wanji cannot assist King Li Ke of Wu, and he will be punished to die!"

The ministers who served were a little panicked. Isn’t it just trampling on some crops? What a big deal, why should you kill someone?

In line with the original intention of protecting his colleagues and advising His Majesty to be a wise ruler, the Censor Liu Fan was a little embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty thinks twice, Fang Xuanling can't help but stop hunting. How can he be punished for all the time?"

I have to say that the ministers of the Zhenguan period were all very strong, Wei Zheng was one, and Liu Fan was also very talented.

The implication is: You are known as a wise ruler, but you are not hunting and ruining other people's things. Even Fang Xuanling can't control you. King Wu made a mistake by imitating his father. How could he blame him for Quan Wanji alone?

Perhaps Li Shimin just said something angry and did not really want to kill the king forever, but the ministers took it seriously, and he felt uncomfortable with one word of advice.

"Liu Fan, what do you mean? Do you disobey the king?" Li Shimin suddenly became a little angry.

Those who dare to speak out are not cowards. Liu Fan said: "I heard that the lord and the sage are straightforward, Your Majesty is kind and wise, but I dare not be foolish and straightforward."

I am a straight minister because Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of Renming! No, why does it sound a bit like flattery?

Li Shimin really enjoyed it. He accepted the high hat happily, pondered for a moment, and said with a clear cough: "Forget it, I will cut off one hundred households of the King of Wu, and I will pay a salary of one year for one year. As compensation for farmers, you can do it!"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Watching Liu Fan leave, Li Shimin threw the memorial on the imperial desk and sighed: "Ke'er is wise and good at riding and shooting. He just made a small mistake while hunting. It's really a big deal."

The Secretariat of the Secretariat Cen Wenben, who was serving on the side, and the Censor Ma Zhou suddenly realized that he had not heard of it, but Sikong Changsun Wuji's brows moved slightly without a trace.

"It's better not to mention this matter!" Li Shimin said leisurely: "The Prince of Heyuan, Murong Nuo, has gone back to Tuyuhun, and there will be no major events this year. The day before yesterday, Zhang Liang, the chief of the Luoyang Grand Governor's Office, wrote a letter asking me to visit Luoyang after the beginning of spring and go to appreciate the peonies. What do you think?"

Cen Wenben immediately said: "The northern border is stable. Last year, Tuyuhun was pacified, and the drought this year has been smoothly overcome. It is rare to have a clean and leisure time in the court. It is a good time for Your Majesty to visit Luoyang."

"Yes, Your Majesty has not been on the Eastern Tour since he ascended the throne. This time, he just showed the emperor's majesty and the emperor's grace to the people of Shandong." Ma Zhou also agreed.

Changsun Wuji naturally would not object, and he even understood Li Shimin's heart more. Empress Changsun has passed away for more than half a year and has not seen the emperor smile. It is one thing to visit for happiness. It is good to leave Chang'an, a sad place, to relax.

"Your Majesty, I asked the palace province to send someone to repair the Luoyang palace, so that the relevant officials in Luoyang would prepare early."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, get ready, but don't make any noise first, so as not to say anything about the shortcomings."

"Your Majesty, how do you arrange the accompanying and left-behind personnel during this Eastern Tour?" Changsun Wuji asked a crucial question.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said leisurely: "The prince stayed in Chang'an, you and Wenben left to assist the prince, and Fang Xuanling accompanied me to Luoyang."

"Yes!" Changsun Wuji nodded and then asked again: "Who else can you arrange for accompanying him? For example, the concubines and princesses in the palace, so that the palace can save the arrangements earlier."

"There is no need for concubines." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Take Zhinu (King of Jin Li Zhi) and Yizi (Princess Jinyang). If Hengshan (Princess) is in good health, go with him. Guanyin maid... The queen passed away, and these children were sad for a long time. I will take them out to relax."

"Yes." Hearing this answer, Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of gratitude and a faint pride flashed between his eyebrows.

Cen Wenben listened carefully, but never showed any expression. This is great. The emperor's Eastern Tour was a huge moving project, and there were few people going there, which saved people from being tired and money. He was also uttered by the censors.

"Your Majesty, Luoyang's defense and your safety..."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own arrangements."
