Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

"Good wine!"

Zhang Nuo accepted Li Shimin's evaluation very proudly, without any embarrassment.

On the other hand, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji understood in their hearts, so they said "good wine" to His Majesty today, so that shopkeeper Xiao Zhang will not have to worry about selling this wine in the future.

But they also have to admit that this is indeed the best wine they have ever drunk. It has both the original spicy taste of the wine and the softness of other flavors. Whether it is color, aroma, or taste, it is the best.

No wonder shopkeeper Xiao Zhang just confidently said that it is a peerless fine wine that surpasses Yujiu. At this moment, it seems that it really deserves this evaluation.

Now that Du Ruhui has had a good drink and tasted a few more mouthfuls of the delicacies on the table, he really has nothing to say about Zhang Nuo's craftsmanship, but he has to try to know how much he has left.

So, after eating a few more mouthfuls of food, Du Ruhui asked,

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, your wine is indeed a peerless wine. It's the first time for me to drink such a good wine, Lao Du. I think it will definitely become popular in the entire Chang'an City in the future."

"But you're not worried that the imperial court will be jealous in the future, and a decree will determine that the wine industry will only be sold by the government?"

Zhang Nuo looked at this old Du who came to the door for the first time in surprise, your worry is far enough.

However, seeing that Lao Du came to the door for the first time, and it was brought by the big tycoon Lao Li, Zhang Nuo still explained,

"Old Du, I don't need you to worry about this. Your majesty is so wise, how could he compete with me and other petty people for such a petty profit."

"Besides, if there are such rumors, at worst, I will partner with His Majesty to sell wine!"

"Anyway, my unique skill is here, and it just so happens that His Majesty is also short of money, so it would be great if everyone gets what they need!"

Li Shimin was enjoying himself while drinking wine and eating vegetables, and listening to Du Ruhui fighting with the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, but he never thought that this moment of effort would be on him again, and he also mentioned the cruel fact that he has no money. fact.

He was stunned, could it be that if the shopkeeper Xiaozhang could pinch it, it wouldn't count. I was beaten by Du Ruhui just now, so the shopkeeper Xiaozhang knew?

He wanted to ask about this in detail, but he didn't know how to ask.

And at this time, good and caring courtiers will strive to be His Majesty's caring little padded jacket. If it is inconvenient for His Majesty to ask some questions, naturally the courtiers should speak up.

Therefore, Tianzi No. [-] caring little padded jacket, the emperor's uncle, Zhao Guogong of the current dynasty, and Sun Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, spoke.

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, let's not talk about the monopoly of the wine industry. After all, there is no sign of it. I just listen to you. Are we still short of money today?"

Zhang Nuo saw that several people on the opposite side were looking at him eagerly, and knew that these people were interested in this topic, and it happened that he was also happy to show off.Therefore, Zhang Nuo patted Changsun Wuji's shoulder heavily and said, with an expression of your ignorance,

"Old Sun, although you are a businessman, you still need to know more about the important affairs of the court and the inside ways, otherwise how will you expand your business in the future?"

"Who said the Holy Majesty is not short of money? These days, I estimate that the Holy Majesty is more short of money than the national treasury!"

After all, Changsun Wuji had experienced wind and rain, and being underestimated by Zhang Nuo not only didn't mean to blame him at all, but he also took the initiative to fill Zhang Nuo with a glass of wine, which made Du Ruhui stunned for a while.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I'm just a small wealthy businessman. I really don't know the twists and turns here. Tell me."

Zhang Nuo nodded in satisfaction,

"It's normal if you don't know, it's just like the old farmers in the village. I remember when I was a child, I heard the couple in the farmland outside the city pondering how the Holy Majesty and the Empress lived when they were slack."

"The old farmer said that His Majesty must be digging the ground with a golden hoe every day, and the peasant woman said that the queen must bake white flour pancakes every day."

As soon as the words fell, the three people on the opposite side laughed unsteadily.

Zhang Nuo thought it was his own joke, but how could he know that the person on the opposite side was the protagonist in the story who was digging the ground with a golden hoe.

Li Shimin himself was out of breath from laughing.

He didn't mean to be offended in the slightest. When the ignorant villagers fantasized about the life of the emperor above the nine heavens, they naturally expressed their best thoughts.

Although the donkey's head is not right with the horse's mouth, there is no disrespect at all, it's just that the villagers are ignorant, so the smile passed.

Zhang Nuo saw that the short story worked well, so he hurriedly continued,

"So, this is just like you. You are well-informed and know that His Majesty also has to think about national affairs with great care."

"But you don't know that the various expenses of His Majesty, the Empress, and even the palace do not use money from the national treasury, but His Majesty's own small treasury, called internal funds."

Du Ruhui was a little surprised, it's ok, shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, he even knows these things, it seems that he is a bit wise.

Zhang Nuo's explanation continued.

"Your Majesty is considerate of people's feelings, and the Queen also advocates frugality, so naturally she will not spend a lot of money. But Your Majesty is also a human being. Who wouldn't like to eat better at home and use it better?"

"But there is only so much money in the treasury, and the expenses are so large, and even the courtiers have to steal some money from time to time to go to the treasury. It's strange that His Majesty can be loose."

Hearing this, Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui rather resentfully, isn't it, he was cheated of five thousand guan just yesterday.

Du Ruhui naturally pretended not to see it, and had already cheated into the treasury, so there was no reason to spit it out again.

Just looking at the meaning of shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, there is really a way to pull His Majesty to make money?

Is it possible to continue cheating from His Majesty in the future, bah, no, borrow some money to go to the treasury?

At the same time, Li Shimin was deeply moved by Zhang Nuo's sentence "Your Majesty is also a human being".

The Tang Dynasty at this moment is far from being strong, and neither the court nor the people have recovered from the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Not to mention the wind and rain, but there are also leaks everywhere, and money is spent everywhere, even if he saves money from the small treasury, it is only a drop in the bucket in the end.

If according to the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, selling wine can improve internal money income, then it doesn't matter if you cooperate with him as Lao Li, he really wants to enjoy the feeling of being rich.

I just don't know if shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is willing to let him participate in the shares!
