Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 268 Guess the beginning, but miss the end

What shocked Lu Dongzan even more was that he clearly saw the radiance of confidence on the faces of Emperor Datang and Duke Ankang, which showed that artillery could really be improved.

Lu Dongzan suddenly felt very lucky. Fortunately, he persuaded Zanpu to agree to his mission to Datang. Otherwise, how would he know that Datang had such a magic weapon?

Fortunately, their Tubo is on a plateau, and it is basically impossible for Tang's cannons to attack the plateau, but the cannons can still have a great deterrent effect on the countries of the Western Regions.

This is of great significance to Datang.

Lu Dongzan looked in Su Cheng's direction and bowed slightly: "It turns out that it is the Duke of Ankang, and I sincerely apologize here. I offended you so much last time, and I hope the Duke of Ankang Haihan!"

Li Shimin was a little surprised and said, "Oh, the Tubo envoy actually knew Su Cheng?"

Lu Dongzan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister met the Duke of Ankang on the outskirts of Chang'an. The foreign minister did not know Mount Tai, and there was a little misunderstanding. It is not a stranger."

Li Shimin asked curiously: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

Su Cheng hurriedly said: "It's nothing? It's just that the Tubo people asked for directions louder, which made me a little dissatisfied, so there was a bit of trouble!"

You can't tell Li Shimin that he was hugging Princess Qingqing of Changle, and then I met the Tubo people. It is estimated that Li Shimin turned his face on the spot before continuing to listen.

Lu Dongzan smiled and said: "The foreign minister just sincerely praised the girl next to the Duke who is as beautiful as a fairy descending from the earth, and did not mean to offend. This is my Tubo custom."

The fairy-like girl beside Su Cheng?How did Lu Dongzan enter Chang'an?Li Shimin immediately thought that Lu Dongzan was the Chang'an that Su Cheng entered on the day of his spring outing, so it must be Chang Le who followed Su Cheng at that time!

Li Shimin couldn't help but glared at Su Cheng fiercely, knowing that this kid had bad intentions under the banner of spring outing.

Empress Changsun pursed her lips and smiled.

In fact, Lu Dongzan had been paying attention to the expressions of the emperor and Su Cheng all the time. When he saw Li Shimin glaring at Su Cheng, he couldn't help but feel moved. Sure enough, this Duke of Ankang was not welcome at all, and he clearly made such a big decision. Credit is not respected at all.

This is the end of the viewing ceremony. Although these envoys wanted to observe it twice, Li Shimin refused without hesitation.

The brigade began to return to the palace, and the banquet was officially held, but the envoys were not interested in the banquet in the palace.

Full of worries, where there is still the mood to have a big meal, the only way to drown your sorrows is to drink.

Wait a minute.

What kind of wine is this?

Why is it so violent and spicy?

My God, how in the world is there such a strong wine?

All cannons and bombs have been left behind by them, and now they only have good wine in their eyes.

Is this the tribute wine of the Tang emperor?

They never dreamed that there is such a strong and mellow wine in the world!Comparing it with this fine wine, they realized that the wine they drank before was all horse urine!

Can that be called wine?

This is called wine!

Now they just want to figure out one thing, what is the name of this fine wine?Where can I buy it?

"This wine is really strong!"

"Yeah, it's too violent!"

"My God, how can the world wait for good wine!"

"What kind of wine is this? Where can I buy it?"

Originally, the hall was relatively quiet, but the envoys suddenly exploded, which immediately attracted the attention of Li Shimin and the courtiers.

what happened?

What happened?

An envoy immediately stood up and bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, my ministers dare to ask, what kind of fine wine is this so strong and mellow? Is it the tribute wine from the palace?"

It turned out that the envoys were shocked by the burning knives and wine. Li Shimin and the ministers couldn't help being a little speechless. These envoys were really big-hearted.

I didn't expect to be attracted by Shaodaozi wine in a blink of an eye, so I forgot about the cannon?How do you feel that the cannon has not shaken them as much as burning knives and fine wine?

The reputation of these fans as good wine is really not for bragging.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "This wine is not tribute wine, but it is brewed by Ankang County Gong Sucheng. It is called Shaodaozi, and it can be bought in Chang'an City."

All the envoys were very excited when they heard this. It turns out that this kind of fine wine can be bought in Chang'an City!

They all made up their minds that when they left Chang'an, they must pull dozens of carriages back. Although it was only the first time to drink, they already felt that they could not live without burning knives in this life!

However, what they didn't know was that Lishaodaozi wine in Chang'an City was limited and not so easy to buy.

Although burning knives and wine are expensive, there are countless rich and wealthy families in Chang'an City, so how can they be stingy with wine money?

And how many wealthy families are there in the entire Tang Dynasty?

Some people have been accumulating burning knives and fine wines and sending them to Luoyang and other places for sale, and they have made a lot of profits every time!

Want to buy dozens of chariot knives at a time?

Dream it!

However, these envoys didn't know that they were still dreaming sweet dreams!

"Good wine, really good wine!"

The warriors in Tubo are also good at wine. Although they hate Su Cheng, they love this wine with burning knives to the bottom of their bones!

The banquet in the palace ended hastily, because the envoys soon got drunk.

This made Li Shimin very speechless. He guessed the beginning, and all the envoys were shocked by the cannon, but he didn't guess the ending.

Su Cheng walked out with the crowd, looking at the drunken envoys held up by the guards one by one, like looking at lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Outside the Great Wall is a place of bitter cold, so all the people like wine. If there is no wine to warm up in winter, how can they survive the long cold winter?

I heard that the down-and-out shepherds outside the Great Wall would sell sheep, horses, and even wives and daughters for wine, which seems to be true!

If those Fan people get used to drinking burnt knife wine, they will no longer be used to drinking kumiss and highland barley wine.

But if you want to burn knives and wine, you have to exchange war horses with cattle and sheep!

In the blink of an eye, Su Cheng suddenly thought of wool again. Carpets made of wool and clothes made of cashmere are all good things. They can not only be popular in the Tang Dynasty, but even be sold overseas.

Perhaps trade alone can solve the thousand-year-old border troubles without a knife or a gun!

It's a pity that brewing spirits consumes too much food, which is why the scale of the brewing workshop has not been expanded, and the secret recipe has not been sold.

Because although the current Tang Dynasty has signs of prosperity, it is still short of food.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

What he was afraid of was that those aristocratic families would consume a lot of food because of brewing spirits, which would cause the price of food to soar, which would cause many poor people to starve to death, and he, Su Cheng, would be more guilty.

He had to wait slowly, wait for smooth sea transportation, and wait for a bumper grain harvest before he could expand the scale of winemaking and gradually realize his vision.

There is a long way to go, and Su Cheng can't help feeling in his heart.
