Unparalleled Concubine

In fact, Li Xin's attitude towards princes and daughters is very problematic. Ordinary seventh-rank officials would not only be respectful, but at least respectful when facing such nobles. Although Li Xin still called His Highness, but The attitude is already very casual.

This is because when Li Xin first met the Seventh Prince, they met as friends. Later, after the Seventh Prince's identity was exposed, the two gradually became a cooperative relationship, so the relationship was basically equal.

Li Xin didn't talk to the princess anymore, but turned to look at the seventh prince, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I have a contribution, I wonder if you want it?"

His Royal Highness Wei Wang smiled: "It is natural to have credit."

Li Xin's expression was calm: "Your Majesty ordered me to get some more binoculars like this, and he named the Ministry of Industry for help. Your Highness can find some people to help me get these things out. Afterwards..."

"These things are considered to be made by the Ministry of Industry and presented to His Majesty."

In this era when craftsmen were not popular, it was impossible to get ahead by making utensils, especially before Li Xin had the right to speak, even if he got promoted by making utensils, he would be laughed at by people in the capital as a craftsman.

In this era, if you want to get ahead, there are only two ways to go, either rely on scientific examinations to climb slowly in the officialdom, or rely on merit to rise step by step!

Apart from these two ways of civil and military, the other ways are all low-level!

Instead of this, it is better to give this as a favor to His Royal Highness King Wei.

His Royal Highness Wei Wang smiled heartily: "Brother Xin is very generous, I will go to the Ministry of Industry to say hello later, what kind of craftsman do you need, just tell me?"

Li Xin: "I want some jade craftsmen."

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction of cities, civil repairs, and farmland reclamation, etc., without exception, are all major projects, but in addition, the Ministry of Industry also has general supervisors. As long as the whole country is registered as a worker, the Ministry of Households has the right to Therefore, the craftsmen of the household department are all the top skilled craftsmen in the country.

His Royal Highness Wei Wang squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay, I will send some jade masters to look for you tomorrow."

Li Xin nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed a gaze and turned his head to look over.

Not far away, the fourth prince Ji Huan was watching Li Xin. Seeing Li Xin looking over, His Royal Highness Qi smiled, picked up the wine glass, and toasted Li Xin from afar.

Li Xin looked calm and turned a blind eye.

........................

The birthday of the emperor ended amidst praises.

Li Xin also returned to Yongle Fang with Princess Qinghe, but in the following days, Li Xin did not go to work in Princess Qinghe's mansion, but tinkered with the telescope at his home.

With the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the high-grade water jade sent by the palace, the progress of the project was very smooth. About the afternoon of the fourth day, Li Xin had produced three or four "telescopes", but he did not continue to work on it. , but greeted those artisans from the Ministry of Industry, let them continue to polish the lenses, changed their clothes, and walked out of the yard.

Tonight is the time when Deyilou will officially start selling Zhurong wine. Li Xin is going to investigate how high the consumption level of the rich and powerful in the capital is, so that he can make specific pricing in the future.

In the evening, the gate of Deyi Building was crowded with people.

In the past at this time, they came to Deyilou to have fun, but today was different, most of them came to buy wine today.

The reputation of Zhu Rongjiu, after the last round of hype, has already become famous in the capital.

It's a pity that the legendary Zhu Rongjiu only appeared for three days. Since then, Deyilou has never brought it out again. After countless nobles begged for it, Boss Cui of Deyilou finally didn't hold on and announced Take out ten altars of Zhu Rongjiu for sale today.

I don't know how many high-rollers in the wine shop were excited, and wanted to experience the power of this spirit.

Before it was completely dark, the first floor of Deyi Building was already crowded with people.

When Xu Shizheng arrived, the smiling Cui Jiuniang appeared on the high platform erected by the Deyi Building, and bowed slightly to the visitors.

"Guests, today, at the invitation of all the guests, we will once again put out ten altars of Zhu Rongjiu for sale."

Speaking of this, Cui Jiuniang paused, and then continued: "It's just that the Zhurong wine last time hurt the bodies of several guests, so this time the Zhurong wine should be relatively soft and not as violent as last time. "

The "soft" in Cui Jiuniang's mouth is actually mixed with water.

Last time, the Zhu Rongjiu in Deyilou was at least fifty or sixty degrees, but this time the ten altars of spirits sold would not exceed forty degrees at most.

Cui Jiuniang turned sideways, revealing the ten wine jars behind her, and said with a smile, "There are too many guests today. For the sake of fairness, we won't set a price for this wine. Those with the highest price will get it."

"The base price is fifty guan for one jar."

As soon as Cui Jiuniang finished speaking, an untimely voice rang out in Deyilou.

"I paid 510 guan, I want all this wine."

Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man in purple walking in.

Some people with high official positions in the court, when they saw this young man's appearance, their faces changed drastically, and they dared not speak again.

The Deyilou, which was noisy just now, was completely silent for a while.

Chapter 159 How Many Drinks? (The third update, please subscribe!!)

Among the four princes staying in Beijing, the eldest prince Qin Wang Ji Ku has seldom been active, the third prince Zhao Wang Ji prefers martial arts, and the seventh prince Wei Wang Ji Wen, for some reason, has closed his residence and no longer sees guests. The prince Qi Wang Ji Huan is currently the most well-connected and the most powerful in the capital.

This young man in purple was not very tall, he was the Fourth Prince of Jin Dynasty, King Qi Ji Huan.

Cui Jiuniang, who was standing on the high platform, and Li Xin, who was watching from the third floor, frowned at the same time.

Li Xin called Ping'er, a maid beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Now, go and invite His Royal Highness King Wei to come over."

The Seventh Prince has been busy brewing wine and sending it to the north recently, and the steaming speed of Wei Wangfu is obviously not enough. His Royal Highness Wei Wang is about to buy the Shaochun wine shop in the south of the city at this time, so he is so busy that he has no time to be proud building.

The fourth prince has come in person, if the seventh prince doesn't come, no one here is qualified to be an opponent of His Royal Highness King Qi.

This sale of wine was hyped up by Li Xinxin's series of modern marketing methods. His original idea was that these jars of wine would sell for at least two or three hundred jars today, but now that the Fourth Prince came out, he would The price was abruptly lowered to fifty guan.

Shaochun wine in the south of the city is also a relatively famous wine in the capital. It can be sold for about three or four pennies. Ten catties of Shaochun wine can steam about three catties of Zhurong wine, which means the cost of a jar of Zhurong wine The price is ten guan.

Although selling fifty guan can still make a lot of money now, the price is very high at the moment. When the sale actually starts in the future, the price will definitely be lowered a lot. Then you won't be able to make much money.

All in all, His Royal Highness King Qi cannot be allowed to buy these ten jars of wine fifty times a jar.

Cui Jiuniang, who was in charge of the overall situation on the first floor, naturally recognized the seventh prince. She stepped down from the high platform and bent slightly towards the fourth prince in purple: "My family has seen Your Highness."

Qi Wang Jihuan narrowed his eyes, looked Cui Jiuniang up and down, and said with a loud voice: "Good figure, no wonder my seventh son often spends the night here."

Cui Jiuniang is the affair of King Wei. Although many people in the capital know about it, no one dares to tell it face to face. However, His Royal Highness Qi Wang is equal to the Seventh Prince, so he said it without any scruples.

Jiu Niang's face changed slightly.

She took a few deep breaths, and forced a smile at the fourth prince: "His Royal Highness Qi was joking, is His Highness coming to buy wine today?"

"Yes."

Ji Huan smiled: "I heard that Deyilou produced a top-notch spirit. This king is famous for it. I want to buy it back and taste it."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the crowd of spectators in Deyi Building.

"Everyone, Boss Cui said just now that the ten altars of wine are bidding, and now the king is offering 51 guan, do you have any price increases?"
