Chapter 428 Using Grain to Auction Liquor
Seeing Li Xuan's expression that didn't look like he was threatening anyone, the faces of these aristocratic people changed slightly, and they said hastily.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to reopen the liquor auction!"

"Exactly, the baijiu brewed in Dawang's estate is the best in the world, a peerless wine. I implore the king to resume the auction!"

"Last time, I was bewitched by the Wang family Wang Hui, so I thought the king was extravagant. All of this was misled by Wang Hui. As a prince, living like this is already very simple!"

"Your Majesty..."

All the aristocratic families spoke nice words again, but Li Xuan didn't feel the slightest disturbance in his heart.

People from these aristocratic families must have been pushed by those old things behind them, so they flattered him so much.

If next time, this is someone from the aristocratic family who can catch him, they will definitely turn into Nanny Rong, and they will never be lenient.

It's a pity that he is not the poor man who fell under the needle, and he will never let the people of these aristocratic families have a chance.

"Do you want me to continue auctioning liquor?"

Li Xuan chuckled slightly mockingly, and asked in a low voice.

"Please have mercy, Your Majesty. It has been four months since the auction of such a peerless immortal wine has started. I don't know how many people who are good at wine are about to starve to death!"

All the stewards of the aristocratic families said hastily, while looking forward to it.

"The last time this king publicly announced that he would no longer auction liquor from now on! Now, if this king starts auctioning liquor again, wouldn't it be a breach of promise and a backlash?"

Li Xuan shook his head slowly.

Hearing this, the managers of the aristocratic families all looked happy, the king was moved!
"My Majesty, the last time we were deceived by Wang Hui and misunderstood His Majesty, so we sincerely came to apologize to His Majesty, and His Majesty has already forgiven us.

In this way, His Majesty started auctioning liquor auction again, and it was also for the sake of the world's wine lovers. This is His Majesty's kindness! "

Hearing this, Li Xuan nodded slightly, just when the faces of the aristocratic families were full of joy, thinking that Li Xuan wanted to agree, Li Xuan's expression changed, and he said again.

"No, only [-] mu of land, this king has to agree, it seems how vulgar this king is!"

"I don't know what else the king wants?"

The people of the family were anxious and asked quickly.

"I can auction liquor for you, but the way of auctioning liquor needs to be changed!" Li Xuan said.

"Your Majesty, please speak frankly!" A steward of an aristocratic family said hastily.

"If the liquor is auctioned again, you are not allowed to use copper coins for the auction, but grain!"

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan said under the expectant eyes of the family members, "Each bottle of liquor starts with ten shi of grain, and the grain to be auctioned must be new grain!"

"Grain instead of copper coins?"

Hearing this, all the aristocratic family managers were startled, and then a trace of concern flashed in their eyes.

At any time, food is the most important material, far from being comparable to copper coins.

In the hands of their aristocratic family, copper coins may be just a pile of broken copper and iron.

However, one stone less of food is really one stone less.

"Well, it's grain. To brew a piece of baijiu, you need to consume five stones of grain from me. Since you begged me to start auctioning baijiu, I have to earn back all the grain for brewing baijiu!"

Li Xuan looked determined.

"If you don't want to use grain to auction liquor, then please go back, the king will return these fields to you!"

As he said that, Li Xuan picked up the land deed beside him and handed it to the group of people from the aristocratic family.

Seeing this, the faces of all the aristocratic family stewards couldn't help but change drastically, they retreated again and again, and said with a look of panic.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, I agree!"

"Exactly, don't worry, my lord, we are willing to auction liquor with grain!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan's expression softened a little, and he took back the land deed in his hand.

"This matter is yours voluntary... No, you begged me to auction liquor for you, but I didn't force you!"

"Your Majesty is right, this time we are the ones who ask you to open the liquor auction!"

All the members of the aristocratic family took a deep breath, and replied with a sigh of relief!

Brazen!
"Very good, I hope you will remember what you said today. If you dare to use this matter to trouble me in the future, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

Li Xuan said with a light smile again.

However, the threat in his tone made all the family stewards extremely annoyed, they really are tyrannical and vulgar people!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will never be confused again!" All the members of the aristocratic family clapped their hands back again.

"So good!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "My lord will give you ten days to wait. After ten days, my lord will start auctioning off a hundred bottles of baijiu in teahouses. Whoever will be disqualified from the auction!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will definitely be fully prepared!"

People from all the families repeatedly promised.

No matter what, the king of Jin finally agreed to auction the baijiu, and doubled the amount.

As for whether the elders in the family are willing to auction liquor with grain, that has nothing to do with them!

Nothing to worry about!

After leaving the Li Family Manor, all the family stewards smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

Finally got it out!

From then on, even if King Jin begged them on his knees, they would never come to this village again!

……

After the members of these aristocratic families left, Li Xuan called Li Chang in.

"Your Majesty, this is really [-] mu of land! Moreover, more than half of it is high-quality fertile land!"

After carefully reading the stack of land deeds, Li Chang's old face was full of shock.

"This is an apology from those aristocratic families to the king because of the clean paper incident last time. Take someone to inspect all these fields!"

Li Xuan said calmly.

"apologize?"

Li Chang was taken aback, and then quickly responded, "Young man, let's do it now!"

"In addition, the king promised those family members that in ten days' time the liquor will be auctioned in the tea house, one hundred bottles at a time. This time, we will use the grain auction, starting with ten stones of grain for a bottle of liquor, you arrange it!"

Li Xuan said again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, Li Chang retreated with a shocked face.

At the same time, after those aristocratic family stewards returned to Chang'an City, one after another messengers galloped out from the courtyards of various aristocratic families, heading for the states of the Tang Dynasty.

In the next few days, the [-] stone dried fish brought back by Li Xiaogong also began to be sold.However, what surprised Li Xiaogong was that so many dried sea fish were robbed by these aristocratic families in less than two days.

"How many?"

Inside the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others all looked at Li Xiaogong in disbelief.

"Return to Your Majesty, 500,000 stones of dried sea fish have been exchanged for a total of [-] stones of grain!"

Li Xiaogong repeated it again with a happy face, "The only pity is that 500,000% of the [-] shi grains are old grains!"

"500,000 stone!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were all excited, but at the same time they all breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the [-]% old grain, it was simply ignored.

"In this way, Li Jing and other soldiers who are far away in Turkic don't have to worry about the lack of food anymore!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others also congratulated Li Shimin with joyful faces.

Li Jing and other [-] troops have been provided with food, and they can relax a lot from Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province!

"I have one more thing to do. I want to congratulate Your Majesty!"

Li Xiaogong reported again.

"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others looked at Li Xiaogong expectantly again.

……

　ps: Big joy today!
　　Let's celebrate together, add dinner tonight!
