Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Crooked Ways

Wine, as a new strategic material, has achieved immediate results and received rave reviews after its trial promotion in the military.The supply of supplies in the army is different from that of the civilians. When making wine at home, you can drink Xifeng if you don’t have Taibai. If you don’t have Xifeng, you can make do with some loose wine. Besides, it is impossible to replace the old brand that has been unanimously recognized after long-term use.

Chen Ji's medical wine has gained a good reputation in the army and established a good product image. Once the Ministry of Industry opens a winery, even if the officials protect each other, no one dares to joke about the military supply. Although the equipment and production process are the same, the military The big bosses have to weigh the pros and cons. There are very few generals who make fun of the lives of their soldiers, and the emotions of the soldiers in the army must also be taken care of.

"Now it's not just about alcohol prohibition. If the Ministry of Industry is allowed to open a wine shop to replace the Chen family's supply for the army, it will be emotionally and logically unreasonable." Li Shi brushed off his sleeves and said seriously: "The imperial court had plans. There has been a business contract for opening a liquor store in the Ministry of Industry. As an official of the Ministry of Industry, although I have a low official position, I have heard the rumors. It is impossible to replace the medicine in the army suddenly, and it is a matter of prestige. The court did not because of it. Temporary losses will cancel the ban on alcohol, if the Ministry of Industry opens a workshop, who will sell the brewed wine to?"

"It's the same thing, it's just a different brand. From raw materials to steamed brew, there is no difference." This is a blunt statement, and there is no confidence in saying it.After Li Shi finished speaking, my heart sank for a while. I thought that if I sent up the statistical report and pointed out the shortcomings in it, there would be a turnaround. It seems that I was too naive.If you think about it carefully, you can figure it out. It is just a matter of talking about it. It is not easy to put it on an individual, let alone a national policy, which is not possible now.Not in 500 years.

"Hehe, Zihao's words are not thoughtful." Li Shi smiled, raised his glass, and took a sip, "You are an expert, and you know the key points, and I trust you, and I believe what you say. That's all What about the others? From the head of the army to the imperial guards, can you still explain them one by one? Even if you explain, others may not just listen to it. No one can afford this responsibility, and no one dares to take it."

It seems that this has put my family's wine shop on hold. No wonder the Ministry of Industry was so happy at the beginning, but it died down in the end.Thinking of this, he smiled wryly. "Then there's nothing to look forward to, now it's a cool breeze."

"Don't panic," Li Shi squinted his eyes and shook his fingers, looking confident. "There is a way, depending on your relationship. It's not difficult to do."

"Oh?" This guy's expression is very strange, there is no way to do it, and there is no need to make it look like this, and he is not a gangster.But still obediently taught.The reason is very simple, it seems that it can be done, but the consequences are unpredictable, anyway, a dead horse has become a living horse doctor, and I admit it.

Three days later, something happened in the capital. Young Master Cheng Chu, the top man in Duke Lu's mansion, was foaming at the mouth while enjoying music and singing in an entertainment venue, and convulsed and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.Although his life was saved, his body was damaged. Even when he attended his own polo match, he barely stood still with the help of his servants, and he was very haggard.

At the same time that Cheng Xiaogong fell ill, the Cheng family retaliated indiscriminately against the singing and dancing hall as usual. When the whole capital was waiting to watch the fun, the Cheng family's beating, smashing and looting operations suddenly stopped, and they were tied back to Cheng's house. The owner of the song and dance hall who was tortured was also released back unharmed.The Cheng family compensated for the loss of a series of retaliatory actions in private.The nameless boss suddenly became a man of the hour in the capital.

The Cheng family, if they were kidnapped by the exasperated little father-in-law.Then there is only a funeral, but a small karaoke owner can come out unscathed and get compensation, a miracle!Although the compensation was carried out in private, there is no impenetrable wall after all. The owner of the dance hall kept his mouth shut and refused to show his face, but the gossip spread.

Mr. Cheng made a fuss and wanted to drink. Of course, as a pole dance lover, while admiring the graceful dance, everyone likes to have a few sips to add to the fun, which is beyond reproach.However, during the period of alcohol prohibition in the imperial court, it is impossible to have a smooth source of wine, and there will inevitably be mistakes in the roundabout purchase channels.The owner of this song and dance hall is also very popular. I don’t know who stepped on the relationship to get some anti-virus wine for the military. As the name suggests, "anti-virus wine" is a special wine with great power. It has been prepared with a unique secret recipe. It belongs to the same category of wine, and the taste is still delicious, but it is fundamentally different from general fun drinks.It is logical for the people to think that since wiping wounds can kill poison and drinking it can kill people, even a tough killer like Mr. Cheng is hard to deal with, let alone ordinary people?

This statement was quickly spread, and it was mixed with some shocking inside stories.One of them is: Because of the exclusive privilege of brewing wine, the Chen family could not resist the pressure of all merchants to jointly produce anti-virus wine because of the exclusive privilege of brewing wine, but it was reported by some jealous people. This behavior caused dissatisfaction in the court, so, After the Chen family paid the fine, all products from the factory would have to go through the strict supervision of the imperial court, and the last channel for civil wine was completely sealed off by the imperial court.This was the reason why Mr. Cheng could not end after the accident. If he followed the vine to get revenge all the way, he would definitely hit Chen's family and smash his teacher's in-laws.

"Let's see if they dare to take out the wine in the army." Lan Ling, as one of the masterminds behind the scenes, has been extremely happy these days. is a source of joy.

"Then Li Shi is not a fuel-efficient man at first glance, haha..." Le, how could he not be happy.It's so interesting to see people playing with their minds, all-round and multi-functional.Cheng Chu, as the male number one, although it is the first time to lead a starring role, he does have the potential to be on the Avenue of Stars. He is usually so elm, but when I talk to him about dramas, he can understand everything, especially the part about the owner of the dance hall. He planned to find someone who he believed in as a guest star, but Cheng Chu thought it was unnecessary, so he randomly found a bootleg liquor entertainment place to start the show, anyway, most of the wine on the market now comes from the Chen family, so the details are guaranteed.

"However, when your wine was taken to the army earlier, they drank a lot and never made any mistakes. Now that something has happened suddenly, will anyone suspect it?" Lan Ling felt that the way of acting was not rigorous, and it was necessary To close the links.

"No. Don't worry. In order to strictly manage, the imperial court ordered the Chen family to increase the amount of disinfectant in the disinfectant wine. Mr. Cheng happened to drink the product after the increased amount of disinfection. It's an unfortunate guy. Let the words go out, don't worry." , It will definitely work.” There is a disadvantage of procurement in the military. Some troops with relatively loose logistics management often secretly drink medical alcohol, and some even accumulate it and sell it secretly.Although the military has stepped up supervision and crackdown, the effect is not great.The power of the added disinfectant and medicinal wine this time makes it difficult for those who are speculative to make mistakes. After all, it is difficult to cover up if someone is killed.

"Okay, now you can rest assured, it's time to go up the Feng River, there is no reason to delay." Lanling has already packed up, and I will start as soon as my side is done.

"Well, wait until the appointment in two days. See if anyone still comes to ask for wine, send those people over and let's go." Feeling happy, she pulled Lan Ling to sit on my lap, "A few days, in a blink of an eye Just go. Don't talk about you, I'm also in a hurry, hehe..."

"What are you in a hurry for?" Lan Ling narrowed his eyes and tilted his eyes to look at me, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.Tired said: "Don't say you are worried about cotton, what's your idea?"

"Cut," curled his lips, "you know better than I what each other's plans are. Cotton blooms early and blooms later. Sooner or later it's an excuse. Is there any reason to go to see cotton in June?"

"En." Lan Lingmei nodded with a smile, "Don't be complacent, it's cheaper for you once," leaning down gently and biting my ear, she said softly, "I'll argue with you in the past, I can't help you over there, but I just I am alone..."

It can be regarded as a peace of mind, whoever comes to ask for wine is generous, and they have as much as they want.Munitions.Quality assurance!As for the ones you want to buy for civilian use, the Chen family has no ability to bypass the supervisory officials and make them for you.Now even the food for wine making is not assigned by the family itself, and the imperial court pulls it over with one hand, and can't get out even a drop.

Military wine is now in the limelight, not to mention buying it specially in taverns, even if you send it up, you don't dare to take it, and if you ask someone to buy it, you will push it back.

"Hehe, I finally have the strength to dial the abacus." After eating, I saw Ying took the abacus and dialed Huan Shi, flipping through the pages of the large ledger, and the long-lost housekeeper returned.Comfortably moved a cool chair and sat outside the door, Xia Liang, the second daughter set up a small summer mat in the yard, sat cross-legged on it, carefully doing needlework, squatting down with a needle nose honestly, watching seriously.

"It's been a while since I checked the accounts. Drinking alcohol is harmful to people. I have accumulated so many accounts in such a short time, and I have to take care of them all by myself. It's really tiring." Ying helped the abacus and said while typing, Occasionally symbolically stopped the work in hand and beat his waist, looking very tired and hard.

This is normal. The familiar tone and movements show that everyone's mood has calmed down and they are back at home again.

"Your luggage for the Fenghe River is also ready, and you will leave the day after tomorrow?" Yingyi closed the account book, hung the abacus back on the wall, and pulled a chair to sit beside me, "How many days do you plan to go?"

"I came back in half a month. In fact, there is not much to do. The key is to guide them to do some preparations before cotton picking, and then show their faces in the past, so that the farmers can feel at ease. After all, it is not appropriate to go there for a long time." After getting the expert certificate, he pinched a sweet peach from the fruit plate and took a bite, praising: "I still have to eat the late peach. A few days ago, eating the early peach tasted like chewing cucumber."

"I'll be able to eat my own fruit in the next year, and I can eat whatever I want," Ying grabbed a green plum and got up and stuffed it into the mouth of the second daughter, and then stuffed it all to the dazed Dalai on the threshold. "Poor thing, I've been sitting on hair porcelain for one day, and the maid in the courtyard has never seen you laughing when she was laughing. The family didn't say that there is no place to be sorry for the servants. The monthly fee for the back house has risen three times a year. "

Exaggerating, I have been raised three times in three years, and the last time I raised it reluctantly after I suggested it. In the end, the reputation of being considerate to the servants fell on the head of the mistress.It's not uncommon for Dalai to never smile when he's at home, and he doesn't usually care about it. Ying is not in a good mood.

"Eat quickly, to cool off the heat. Let the second daughter buy some new clothes for you tomorrow, tidy up well, take a walk in your own yard if you have nothing to do, talk to others more, and it will be awkward if you don't fit in." Said He also caressed Dalai's face to express his love and kindness.

I have been observing for such a long time. Although Dalai has occasionally suffered a few times with the second daughter, Ying is the one who is most afraid of him.Probably it has something to do with the time when Ying got her out. When Ying caressed her, she could clearly see the fear in Dalai's eyes.As for me, I have always been Dalai's key protection target, and the second daughter is now her amulet, so keep up and avoid having time to contact me alone.I usually stay at home, so whenever the second daughter went to work, Dalai would go with her, saying that she was serving others.In fact, I wish I could hide far away.

"How about asking Dalai to go to Fenghe Zhuangzi with my husband in the future, and every time there are a few guards who are up to date and three rough, and there will be no waiters in half a month. It will be easy to serve tea and water." Ying sat down next to me, "The second daughter finds another maid to take over for a few days. Anyway, the family is not under the influence of others."

It's fun to watch Dalai's expression without expressing his opinion.Dalai turned to the second daughter for help with hopeful eyes.The second girl looked up at her, exchanged glances with me, nodded with a strange expression, and continued her needlework.The girl looked like she had been sentenced to death, she quietly lowered her head and wiped her tears.Shoulders shrugged, miserable.

Grabbing Ying's shoulder and dragging her over, she said softly, "What's your idea, the little girl is almost scared to death by you. She's crying."

"You have to have someone by your side, and I'm a concubine for the sake of my husband," Ying pursed her lips and smiled mercilessly, "It's only half a month, whether it's long or short, and who's waiting for grandpa to go out? Bring a maid, look at Princess Lanling. No matter where you go, there are always people around you."

"Well, be careful and I'll hit you." Pulling Ying's little hand over and clenching it vigorously, "What are you thinking? What's the relationship between our land on the Fenghe River and Lanling?"

"I'm just a concubine, for example, it doesn't matter if it's her husband who forced it out." Ying pulled out her hand aggrieved and rubbed it, "It's fine, why would you beat someone when you mention the princess, the princess can come from heaven. Then you can't let Husband beat him to death early."

"Hey." I was annoyed, "Okay. Okay. If you have the ability, take it! You are not afraid that I will bring one person there and bring two people back?"

"I'm not afraid." Ying smiled and leaned on my shoulder, "You look down on Dalai. The second daughter in the family can be hugged and hugged for such a long time without accidents. I have long been at ease."

"Tch, that's me worrying about the second daughter. I don't worry about Dalai, Xiao Banyue, who knows how I can't help it, that's all. Men, I don't have that good control." He was still fascinated by Chaoda. Lai glanced twice, and the girl happened to meet my eyes, she quickly lowered her head in fright and continued to cry.

"It's better if you don't care about it, lest your husband run away." Ying waved to the second daughter, who came over and sat down on my leg, "It's a big job to harvest cotton this year, and the beans will be ready at that time." When the time comes, the concubine can't worry about it alone, although the second daughter said that the workshop in the village needs to be run, but after all, the fourth child will support me, so I will find time to help the concubine take care of the cotton," he said, pointing to Da Lai, "Didn't the husband say that the girl is dexterous, and she can do a little cotton work, so I just asked her to help the second daughter. This time, I took her over to have a look, so that I can get acquainted first."

"Familiar with what?" Ying's plan was right, but I couldn't figure out what to take Dalai to get acquainted with at this time, to see Qingtaozi? "The peaches haven't grown yet, and the green eggs in the whole place don't have any work, and she can't get involved in the crop work. It's not enough to take her there to worry about money. It's not too late to go there when the cotton is harvested."

"Oh," Ying nodded, and looked at me together with the second daughter, "My husband is familiar with the crops, so he ran to point out the farmers in a hurry, right?"

"..." After I finished, I told Ying that the picking season was coming soon, and I had to go over to supervise their preparations for cotton picking. I found an apprentice to keep up.He said he slipped his tongue, faltered, and coughed indiscriminately, "The key is that I haven't been there for a long time, show my face, show my face!"

"Little Banyue Lu?" Ying looked at me with a smile, and sneaked up on my arm with her little hand, pinched some flesh to try the feel first, "It's better if my husband is too face-saving, and if Little Banyue shows his face in the crop field, even the sparrows dare not land Well, there is a lack of someone who shows his face in the bean field here."

"That's a straw man!" The disgusting person was not angry, and the angry person wanted to laugh. "Let's relax. People at home and in the capital all day long have finally settled this matter. In the past, I just showed my face to relax, right?"

"Oh." Ying nodded, "But I have wronged my husband. The family is either a concubine or a second daughter. They have two faces and no freshness. What about the villa? We haven't been to our villa yet. What are you doing on the Fenghe River? No one knows. ?convenient?"

"..." It's just for convenience and convenience, so I don't need to say it.

"Hehe..." Seeing that I was speechless, Ying put more strength into her hands triumphantly, and finally won.Leaning over me and laughing, "My husband is honest, you forget the nonsense as soon as you make it up, why don't you know how to lie."

"Oh, you did it on purpose!" Ying probably saw through it a long time ago, and brought a Dalai out to fight gangsters,? ?She looks decent, which makes me feel that she is serious about housework, and when she talks about serious matters, she loses her defenses, and she is tricked into telling the truth in a few sentences. "Wait, it's not over, I'll let you know how powerful it is, and tonight you should be mentally prepared that life would be worse than death!"
