Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 176

After going around in circles, he returned to Prince Qin's mansion.

Li Shimin was puzzled and said, "Yu'er, didn't you say there are two more?"

Li Chengqian explained for Li Fangchen: "Father, after counting the time, it's time for lunch."

"Oh I got it."

Hundreds of officials squeezed in, and it was quite spacious, but some people were very familiar with this place, while others were extremely unfamiliar.

"Father, my ministers have prepared some simple meals today, but the quantity is not large and cannot supply all the ministers. As for those who can't share, don't blame me for being stingy."

The ministers were snickering, and said they were not stingy. You made it clear that some officials are not worthy of your Qin family's meals, and you are not going to let them eat.

Li Shimin didn't pursue it, instead he said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and eat, I'm still waiting to see the other two workshops you mentioned!"

"Yes!"

Li Fangchen went down to make arrangements, and the meal was very simple, with a bowl of spoon noodles for each person.

Kong Yingda and officials with five surnames and Qiwang, no!
Watching others eat so much, Kong Yingda smiled wryly to himself. It's not that he didn't come to the door to admit his mistakes before, but it's a pity that His Royal Highness Qin Wang didn't give him this chance.

Now the reputation of the Kong family in Chang'an is about to stink, and the guests who used to come in an endless stream are now avoiding them.

Even if the King of Qin didn't do anything, they didn't dare to go to the Confucian mansion. If they were caught by the King of Qin, they didn't have as high a prestige among the people as the Kong family, and they would have to be played to death by the King of Qin.

But the officials with five surnames and seven wangs are disdainful, and it's just a meal.

Their more important concern right now is related to the previous two workshops!
Eat it up, Li Shimin didn't know why today, but felt that this pasta was very delicious, so he ate three or four bowls in a row.

The following group of generals were even more ruthless, and they ate directly with the bucket.

Lao Cheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Highness, this side is not bad, I will bring some to Lao Cheng later, and I will give it to the son of the family to taste."

Li Fangchen said angrily: "You first give me back the cook you detained earlier!"

Old Cheng shrank his neck and pretended he didn't hear it. Only then did everyone realize that Fairy Cheng had detained a cook from Prince Qin's residence.

"What are you looking at? No matter how I put it, Old Cheng is still a prince. If he gets beaten up and needs to be replaced by a cook, it won't hurt him, right?"

Lao Cheng is also stubborn, he doesn't care about face at all, and bluntly said that he got it by being beaten.

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is not fair, why don't you give me a cook?"

Li Fangchen thought for a while, then nodded, "I'll send one to your house later, it's the cook's wife from the old Cheng's family. She talks about her own man all day long, and I'm tired of hearing it, so I just sent it to you. Do not treat the other party badly."

Zhang Liang grinned loudly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, you can let me marry that cook!"

These gangsters are not stingy, they really dare to say and do anything!

Old Cheng became anxious when he heard this, "Zhang Liang, you old man, how can you break up a couple, you are immoral!"

Zhang Liang turned a blind eye. If he could eat delicious food every day, even if he married a pig, he would admit it.

Not to mention him, [-]% of generals would agree with this point of view, the desire for food and drink is the most basic desire of the human heart.

Li Shimin was amused and laughed out loud, he seemed to like this kind of jokes between generals, and it reminded him of the time when he was the King of Qin.

After calculating that the time was almost up, Li Fangchen clapped his hands and asked his subordinates to bring over two large boxes.

"Father, I don't want you to run around. Just before the meal, I ordered people to bring the things made by the other two workshops back to the mansion."

"Oh? Yu'er has a heart."

Little liar!Do you think I am stupid?Obviously it was arranged by you, but it seems that the other two workshops make you even more worried, is it because you are afraid that someone will steal the secret recipe?

The two big boxes were different, but everyone was surprised by the smell emanating from one of the boxes.

"liquor!"

Yes, it's wine. Li Fangchen made wine once, that was at the auction, but this time it was different.

In other words, this time it is completely self-brewed, which is much better than the previous distilled wine.

"Father please appreciate it!"

Now that they were all discovered, Li Fangchen didn't hide any more, and generously took out the wine and brought it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the glazed wine bottle, and couldn't help laughing: "You really know how to plan. The colored glaze bottle cost a lot of money, right?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry sighed: "Your Majesty, the cost of this glazed bottle is only ten coppers."

Li Shimin slapped his head and almost forgot that the colored glaze made by Li Fangchen and Li Tai was very cheap.

Glass is not a rare item nowadays, so the minister is not surprised by its appearance, mainly because of the price, which is really heartbreaking.

Ten coppers, glazed objects that could only be owned by hundreds of coppers, are now everywhere on the street.

Speaking of it, it was all due to His Royal Highness the King of Qin. Even the officials of the family had to sigh, with the presence of the King Qin, the Tang Dynasty will have no worries for a hundred years.

After opening the bottle cap, the rich aroma of the wine wafted out. Li Shimin couldn't help sighing that the wine was good, it was more than spicy after drinking, and had a lot of stamina.

"Whoo~"

Heaving a sigh of relief, Li Shimin asked in confusion: "This wine is strong enough, but it is still different from the previous wine. Why is Yu'er?"

The wine before refers to the wine workshop in the workshop of the Ministry of Industry. The cost is not low, and a catty of wine is dozens of catties of grain.

Li Fangchen smiled and said: "Father, this wine is different from the royal wine you drink. It is cheap and prepared for the people of our Tang Dynasty!"

"Oh?" Li Shimin couldn't help but took another drink. Although the taste is not as good as Royal Wine, if it is put in the homes of ordinary people, it is definitely a first-class wine.

Then, at this time, Li Shimin will inevitably ask, "Yu'er, how much is the price of this wine? How much is the price?"

And our protagonist, classmate Li Fangchen pointed out a finger, "Ten catties always, three thousand catties every day!"

"Good guy!"

Co-authoring is only [-] pens a day.Although not much, the output is extremely astonishing. The daily consumption of good wine in Chang'an is only ten thousand catties.

"In addition, the boy plans to distribute wineries in various state capitals, give them the recipe, and let them make it themselves!"

"Is this true?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, the matter should not be so simple.

Li Fangchen looked at the excited expressions of all the officials, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just that this candidate needs to be appointed by the minister himself."

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

"The cost of ten catties of wine is only three hundred coppers, and it can be made anywhere. What I want to sell is the right to operate alcohol in a certain area!"

"What is the right to operate liquor?"

"This wine can only be sold by Erchen's family in Chang'an!"

In this way, the ministers understand that it is to divide the area. In a certain area, this kind of wine belongs to the family, and other people are not allowed to intervene.

"Your Highness, what do you mean, you want to sell this management right to us?" Smart people understand what this means.
