Datang Nongwang

Chapter 457
There are more than 7000 stones of saponins.

Li Chongyuan is not jealous, it is all fake.

If they could buy all of them from Wang Ting, then Li Chongyuan's workshop would not have to worry about saponins for a few years.

More than 7000 stones.

As far as the annual consumption of the workshop is concerned, it is estimated that there are more than 3000 stones.

If there are so many saponins, the workshop can completely expand its production capacity, and the revenue will definitely increase greatly.

but.

Li Chongyuan sent people away.

In other words, he wanted to give Wang Zhong a blow.

Furthermore.

Li Chongyuan really didn't worry that Wang Ting would stop looking for him.

Li Chongyuan is the only one who can use saponins.

As for others, what can they be used for?

It is not possible to store it at home, but to use it for laundry every day.

Moreover.

This thing is used for laundry, and it has to be smashed and soaked, which is very troublesome.

As far as Li Chongyuan knows.

Although saponin is used in many places, at least people with a little background in Chang'an will not use saponin.

and so.

Li Chongyuan was really not worried that Wang Ting would sell these saponins to others, or transport them to other places for use.

Wan'er who heard about it.

Hearing that the brothers from the Wang family that Li Chongyuan had been with had gone away, he sat beside Li Chongyuan, looked at him and asked, "Fourth brother, there are almost no saponins in the workshop, why do you want to drive that Wang Ting away? If we suppress Once the price is lowered, he will definitely sell his saponins to us. If there is no saponins, the workshop will stop working."

"What do you know, the workshop saponin can still be used for a few days. The saponin shipped from the south is estimated to arrive in this period of time. Are we afraid that there will be no saponin available? Even if there is no saponin available, from that price The amount of money earned in the war is enough to cover the profit of the workshop for over ten years." Li Chongyuan gave Wan'er a blank look.

but.

Wan'er, however, couldn't listen to her fourth brother's words, so she turned her eyes and said, "Fourth brother, you have made money, but what about me? I have half of the workshop. If the saponins are gone now, the workshop will have to stop working." , then I will earn a lot less money."

Li Chongyuan looked at this girl who only recognized money, so he could only shake his head.

Here's the thing.

It's really not about the workshop.

Instead, it has risen to the level of the two.

According to Li Chongyuan's understanding of Wang Zhong.

People have already let the word out, and this matter will definitely never end.

As for Wang Ting.

Li Chongyuan was not worried at all.

Two days later.

Li Chongxuan came to Lizhuang suddenly.

"Chongxuan has seen uncle." Li Chongxuan came to the small courtyard and saw Li Yuan sitting like an old god, and hurried forward to greet him.

Li Yuan looked at Li Chongxuan, "Xuan'er, why did you come to Li Zhuang? Ever since my uncle came to Li Zhuang, I have never seen you here. What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Li Yuan's relationship with Li Chongxuan was neither good nor bad.

Same as Li Chongji and his three brothers.

Discrimination.

This may be Li Yuan's approach.

It's like when Li Yuan was in the palace, he didn't like Li Tai and others very much.

I only like Li Shimin's daughters.

As for why, Li Chongyuan didn't know about it, let alone why.

Perhaps it was because of that incident that affected him, Li Yuan.

Seeing Li Yuan's question, Li Chongxuan responded carefully.

Li Chongxuan didn't say why, he just said that he had nothing to do, so he just took the opportunity of Xiu Mu to come to Li Zhuang to see his fourth brother and younger sister.

Li Yuan didn't ask much when he arrived, "Yuan'er went to the alcove, Wan'er, this girl has been a lot more honest recently, but right now she is going to the alcove with your fourth brother, saying she is going to fish for some The goldfish came back to be raised."

"Goldfish? Uncle, what is a goldfish?" Li Chongxuan was confused.

He really knows about carp and catfish.

But what this goldfish is, I really don't know.

When Li Chongxuan heard the name of goldfish, his first reaction was that he thought this fish produced gold.

Li Yuan smiled without answering, and continued to read the book in his hand.

After the servants went to the valley, Li Chongyuan was notified.

Li Chongyuan was stunned for a long time when he got the news.

Just my second brother.

It is rare to come to Lizhuang.

Don't talk about him as the second brother.

Even the eldest brother Li Chongji and the third brother Li Chongxu rarely come here.

Every time I come, I accompany the old lady.

but.

Li Chongyuan didn't know.

Once when Li Yi and the other princesses came to Li Zhuang, Li Chongxuan came over once, but that time Li Chongxuan and the others only went outside Li Zhuang and then went back home.

and so.

Li Chongyuan didn't know why his second brother came to Li Zhuang suddenly.

"Fourth brother, second brother must have come to fight the autumn wind." Wan'er looked at the goldfish in the basin and said indifferently.

Li Chongyuan had no idea.

For his brothers, Li Chongyuan still agrees with them in his perception.

There is a saying.

After so many years.

His elder brothers helped him a lot.

Whether it's to play the autumn wind, or to come here for the benefits, Li Chongyuan is also happy.

Immediately after Li Chongyuan explained the matter, he took Wan'er, and Xingba who was holding a pot of small goldfish, and the others left the valley.

After returning to the small courtyard.

Li Chongyuan was given an excuse by Li Chongxuan and came out of the small courtyard.

Seeing that his second brother was very mysterious, Li Chongyuan asked anxiously not long after leaving the small courtyard: "Second brother, what happened?"

"Fourth brother, you should be able to figure it out." Li Chongxuan replied with a smile.

Li Chongyuan thought about it for a long time, and seeing the smile on Li Chongxuan's face, he immediately slapped his head, "Second brother, it can't be about the Wang family's business."

"Of course. That's exactly what happened. The second elder brother came here today at the instigation of his mother. By the way, let me tell you what happened in the court hall these two days." Li Chongxuan replied.

Upon hearing about Chaotang, Li Chongyuan felt a little more worried.

After a while.

Li Chongyuan took Li Chongxuan to a place in the west of the village.

A quarter of an hour later.

Li Chongyuan finally understood the main reason for his second brother's visit this time.

After listening to Li Chongxuan's narration, Li Chongyuan did not speak for a long time.

He has been thinking about what his second brother said, as well as the movement above the court, in his mind.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Chongyuan stared at Li Chongxuan and asked, "Second brother, do you think the Cui family and the Wang family are planning to attack me?"

"Probably not. The day before yesterday, Cui Yuanwailang directly joined you because you started a price war with Wang Ting. However, only the officials of Cui Wang and Wang Ting came out to agree with this matter. As for others But none of the officials stood up. So, fourth brother, don't worry that King Cui's family will attack you." Li Chongxuan comforted.

Li Chongyuan thought about it again, "Second brother, have you found out who is in charge? Is it Wang Zhong or Wang Ting? Two days ago, the brothers Wang Zhong and Wang Ting came to my place once. , but we had some verbal conflicts between the two sides, and I finally drove them away. At that time, Wang Zhong still put down his words and said that he would bring this matter to the court. Presumably it was Wang Zhong who did it. "

"Haha. When I was at home, my mother said that you are getting smarter. It seems that what my mother said is true. According to my eldest brother's investigation, it was really Wang Zhong who started this matter. My eldest brother asked many friends about the recent movements of the Wang family. It's quite big, and it seems that the helm of the Wang family is about to be appointed. Therefore, the heirs in the several houses of the Wang family began to fight for each other. Wang Zhong belongs to the third house, and Wang Ting belongs to the second house. The two brothers People don't deal with it at all, Wang Zhong made this matter big, probably because he wanted to eliminate Wang Zhong's qualification to compete for the helm of the Wang family." Li Chongxuan said with a smile.

Li Chongyuan smiled after hearing this.

When he was in Chang'an, Li Chongyuan entrusted his elder brother Li Chongji to investigate, and he already knew about this matter.And Wang Zhong did this, probably because his second brother Wang Ting got up again.

Infighting among the royal family.

This has fulfilled him, Li Chongyuan, and the people around him.

Li Chongyuan didn't care about the affairs of the Wang family.

What he cares about is the affairs above the court.

Then he asked again: "Second brother, the officials from the Cui family and the Wang family want to join me, do you know about other officials, is there any movement?"

"It seems that there is no movement, but it's just a day or two. Besides, the eldest brother said that the officials above the court don't have the intention to make a big deal about such a small matter. Business matters belong to the A small matter, no matter how big it is, it can only be a laughing stock." Li Chongxuan said disapprovingly.

After Li Chongxuan finished speaking, he continued: "The officials of the Cui family and the Wang family joined you, but they did not benefit. The elder brother came back and said that because of this, the emperor is very displeased with these officials. The court was furious. It even named those officials who joined you, saying that they didn't care about their own affairs, but they found some unreasonable things."

"Even Wei Zheng said at the time that he wanted to join several officials from King Cui's family. However, after Wei Zheng finished participating, Fang Xuanling stepped forward to smooth things over for them. Otherwise, because For such a trivial matter, the officials of King Cui's family probably have to vacate several positions."

What Li Chongxuan said was brisk.

But Li Chongyuan knew the danger in the court.

If you are not careful, you will lose your official title, or even be left in the cold.

The current Tang State is short of officials from top to bottom.
Even if there is a shortage of officials, Li Shimin, the emperor, used methods such as suppressing and promoting people with great proficiency. Compared with Li Yuan, it was even worse.

Li Chongyuan listened quietly.

The heart is always active.

Under the instigation of Wang Zhong, the officials of King Cui's family began to attack him.

This is a vendetta.

but.

Li Chongyuan didn't care about this hatred at all.

He was far away in Li Zhuang, even if he had the post of deputy county magistrate of Hu County, Li Chongyuan didn't care.

The big deal is that if the post of deputy county magistrate of Hu County is lost, it will be lost.

But Li Chongyuan has certain reliance.

At least.

As long as Li Yuan doesn't fall and people don't go, Li Chongyuan, who is the acting county magistrate of Hu County, will always sit down.

Will even sit until he comes of age.

Li Yuan is in Lizhuang.

Even if these people in the court had all sorts of gossip about him, Li Chongyuan was safe and sound.

Money earned.

There are too many things.

But people are very brisk.

Li Chongyuan saw that the sky was approaching noon, and after seeing the shadows of the helpers in the distance starting to pick up pancakes, he looked at his second brother and said, "Second brother, it's rare for you to come to Lizhuang. Today I will be in charge of the cooking. Treat yourself well you."

"Haha, fourth brother, I was really thinking about how to tell you about this just now. Since you speak first, then don't blame the second brother, I am a lion, and I want to eat your specialty. By the way, I also heard Wan'er say that she often talks about rice wine and goose with us. How about it? No matter what you do today, you have to satisfy my second brother's appetite." Li Chongxuan heard his fourth brother's words, haha Laughed a lot.

Li Chongyuan was embarrassed and helpless after hearing the sound.

Rice wine stuffed goose is a big dish.

Take your time without talking.

But where did this big goose come from?

There are countless big geese of the little madman.

and.

After nearly a year, it is almost time to lay eggs. If you eat one, you will lose one.

Even if there is a male among the big geese, Li Chongyuan really doesn't want to follow Wan'er and Jin Neishi's behavior and steal one to cook.

After returning to the small courtyard, Li Chongyuan sent Xingba to Hu County.

Buy big goose.

This is the only way Li Chongyuan can think of.

Of course, Li Chongyuan couldn't steal one of the little lunatic's goose.

And those newly bought goose seedlings, although they have grown up a lot, are really not enough for several people to eat.

Big goose.

In any case, it takes about ten catties to eat and taste enough.

After Xingba hurried back from Hu County, the three bought geese were cleaned up, and Li Chongyuan handed them over to his greedy second brother.

Who asked him to order this dish.

Li Chongyuan was retaliating.

Even Wan'er stood aside, covering her mouth and laughing non-stop.

But with Li Yuan sitting there as a supervisor, Li Chongxuan could only clean up the big goose with deep resentment under the guidance and help of Qiao Hui and Xiaohong.

More than an hour later.

In the hall.

Li Chongxuan and Li Chongyuan sat together.

On the table was a large bowl of rice wine, the aroma of which had already filled the whole Lizhuang.

The old people and children in the village were so greedy, they all stood at the door of their houses, looking in the direction of the small courtyard, and muttering from time to time.

"Xiao Langjun is making rice wine stuffed goose again, and you can smell the smell as soon as you smell it."

"This year, our family must try Xiao Langjun's rice wine stuffed goose. It's so fragrant, it makes my mouth water."

"If I can eat this rice wine stuffed goose made by Mr. Xiaolang once, even if Mr. Xiaolang beats me up, I'm willing."

And this time.

In the main room, everyone eagerly picked up their chopsticks and stretched them into the large bowl they were aiming at after Li Yuan's "start eating".

Immediately.

Li Chongxuan's voice sounded, "It's delicious, it's really delicious, Wan'er didn't lie to me, this rice wine stuffed goose is the best dish I've ever eaten."

"Second brother, I didn't lie to you, right? The fourth brother made this goose with rice wine, even my uncle praised it." Wan ate quickly, her eyes still fixed on the next piece of goose in the pot. .

On the other hand, Li Yuan.

But it was eating slowly.

Eat a mouthful of vegetables and drink a mouthful of medicinal wine.

As for Jin's servant who usually serves, he is in the kitchen at this time, competing with Xingba and others for another pot of rice wine.

that scene.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a battle scene.
