In this era, the so-called scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the lowest level. Merchants can't wear silk, not to mention, they can't even take scientific examinations. Walking on the street, they might be called a profiteer.

The Seventh Prince is an upright nobleman, and he doesn't know how much more valuable than a scholar is. Comparing him to a businessman is almost pointing his nose and scolding others.

His Royal Highness Wei Wang was not angry, but just said with a smile: "The fourth brother taught me that my younger brother should not be involved in business affairs, but the matter of brewing wine was personally confessed by my father, and my younger brother has no choice but to wait for this matter to be busy." When it’s over, I will never get involved in business again, and I will never compete with the people for profit.”

Ji Huan was a little angry.

This guy, can't you hear that he is scolding him? Why isn't he angry?

He had no choice but to look back at Li Xin, and forced a smile: "Lieutenant Li, don't forget what you promised me."

After saying this, he walked towards the door of the private room, and said indifferently: "Lao Qi, a place like a brothel is not clean after all, if the emperor knows you do this kind of business, he will probably blame you for doing this kind of business, I won't raise it." Send it to you, do it yourself."

The Seventh Prince chuckled: "Thank you, Fourth Brother, for your mercy."

The fourth prince turned and left the Deyi Building.

When King Wei was not around, he could still do whatever he wanted here. Now that the master, King Wei, is back, even though he is the elder brother of King Wei, he is not easy to mess around.

The seventh prince personally sent Ji Huan downstairs, all the way to the gate of Deyi Building, and then saluted with fists together: "Fourth brother, go slowly."

"Next time often."

This sentence often comes next time, making His Royal Highness Qi snort angrily.

After Ji Huan walked away, Li Xin, who was standing behind the seventh prince, took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, I have never promised the fourth prince anything..."

He was interrupted by Ji Wen waving his hand in the middle of his sentence. His Royal Highness Wei Wang smiled and said, "Brother Xin underestimates me too much. How can I believe such a trick to sow discord?"

Speaking of this, His Royal Highness King Wei's face became serious, and he said, "It seems that this business we made has attracted the attention of Fourth Brother and the others."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Your Highness shouldn't have alerted His Majesty so early. All the princes are staring at His Majesty. Any movement by His Majesty will naturally arouse their vigilance."

"I have no choice."

Ji Wen smiled wryly and said: "Xie Jun and Chen Zhong from the Ministry of War are both loyal to the fourth brother. I went to the Ministry of War several times, but I didn't talk about it. In desperation, I can only ask my father to move, otherwise I really want to talk about it." Do not move the Ministry of Defense."

The two walked while talking, and after a while they returned to the private room of the Deyi Building. Li Xin reached out and poured a cup of tea for the seventh prince, and asked, "Did Your Highness tell His Majesty the situation of the Ministry of War?"

Ji Wen took the tea, took a sip, nodded, and said, "It's nothing to do. If you don't explain the situation of the Bai Military Department to your father, the matter of entering the army with spirits can't be pushed back."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "The Ministry of War is probably about to undergo a change."

His Royal Highness King Wei put down the teacup in his hand and said, "What do you mean?"

Li Xin looked calm.

"As His Highness said, the Ministry of War has become the Ministry of War of the Fourth Prince. Your Majesty will never allow this kind of situation to happen in such a key government office. Your Highness can watch it. In the recent period, either the Fourth Prince was transferred away The Ministry of War, or one of the two servants was transferred from the Ministry of War."

When Li Xin said this, the Seventh Prince also wanted to understand the key points.

He nodded and said: "Brother Xin, you are right, the Ministry of War will probably usher in a change."

Li Xin coughed, and said, "Your Highness, the fourth prince has disturbed the wine sale today, and it may take a while before the next wine sale can be carried out. How about the Shaochun Winery on your side?" gone?"

The two matters of selling wine and buying the wine shop were discussed by Li Xin and the Seventh Prince before, but they just acted separately.

"The father and son said it was an ancestral property, and they were unwilling to sell it anyway."

The Seventh Prince frowned: "The two of them had already let go just now, and they were about to finish the conversation. Ping'er ran to say that something happened to Deyilou, so I hurried back and left the other side alone. There."

Li Xin is an expert in this kind of negotiation skills, he chuckled: "Your Highness just leave them there, don't bother with them, I guess they should go to His Highness's house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, begging His Highness to accept it." Their wine shop."

His Royal Highness King Wei nodded, looked back at Li Xin, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Xin, what should we do next after finishing the wine making?"

"Wait."

Li Xin looked solemn: "When the wine business makes money, His Highness can start to build his own Tianmu prison. At that time, let's not talk about the world, at least he must have good ears and eyes in the capital."

"When we can understand the direction of the situation in the capital, we can proceed to the next step."

Chapter 162 Are you interested?

The reason why Ji Huan put down his identity and came to Deyilou in person was to get the spirits sold in Deyilou. Now he got the ten altars of spirits as he wished. Still quite satisfied.

In the next period of time, there may be some poor people in Qi Wang's mansion, who will be used as test subjects for whether spirits can dispel evil spirits.

But no matter what, Prince Qi’s Mansion couldn’t obtain the technology of steaming wine in a short period of time. Although Deyilou was troubled by him, it was not affected too much. Not only that, because His Royal Highness Prince Wei was present in person, On the contrary, Zhu Rongjiu's reputation will become bigger and bigger.

After all, the best advertisement is for a prince to come and ask for it in person.

After Li Xin discussed future plans with the Seventh Prince in the Deyi Building, the sky had already darkened. Li Xin raised his fists at the Seventh Prince, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, if there is nothing to do here, I will go first." gone back."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In the past few days, I have to be busy buying the Shaochun winery, and I also want to start expanding the wine steaming workshop. In a few days, I have to trust Brother to help Just look at it."

Li Xin also nodded, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, there is also a share in this business of steaming wine, and I will take care of it."

After a few words of politeness from the two of them, Li Xin turned and left the Deyi Building.

When Li Xin returned to Datongfang, it was completely dark. At the gate of his yard, Li Xin saw a figure standing in the shadow.

Taking a closer look, it was Mu Ying from southern Xinjiang.

At this moment, several days have passed since Mu Ying sent the young princess Li Jiner and Mu Xin out of Beijing. This young Mu family from southern Xinjiang did not return to Nanjing with Li Jiner and the others, but followed the previous agreement. , came back to look for Li Xin.

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "So it's Brother Muying, I thought you weren't coming back."

This Muying is very important to Li Xin, because through him, Li Xin can directly contact the Li family in Nanshu. In this way, Nanshu will no longer be monolithic. As long as Li Xin is patient, he will always wait until the situation is broken. Chance.

Mu Ying lowered her head slightly: "Some things happened on the road, and it was delayed for two days."

While speaking, Li Xin had already opened the gate of the courtyard. It was close to Haishi, that is, it was almost nine o'clock. Although the lights were on in the courtyard, the little girl Zhong Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep.

The moonlight was very good today, Li Xin set up a grill in the yard, pulled Mu Ying to sit on the ground in the yard, and the two of them started to grill skewers in the yard.

Now that Lieutenant Li is rich, the kitchen at home usually prepares some pork and mutton. Especially these days, craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry will come to his yard to help, so he has prepared a lot of mutton for guests. There is a lot left, which can just be taken out to make skewers.

While turning the meat skewers in his hand, Li Xin squinted his eyes and looked at Mu Ying, who was facing him, and said with a smile, "How old is Brother Mu Ying this year?"

Mu Ying is a somewhat introverted person, upon hearing this she said sullenly, "21."

Li Xin smiled kindly at him: "Brother Muying, we two will be supporting each other in the capital for a while, I have some questions about southern Xinjiang and I want to ask you, if you find it inconvenient, You don't have to answer."

Mu Ying was silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly.

At this moment, the meat skewers on the grill are almost cooked, Li Xin stuffed a meat skewer to Mu Ying casually, picked up one and put it in his mouth, and asked vaguely: "All these years, How are the survivors of Nanshu doing in southern Xinjiang?"

Mu Ying was silent for a while, and after a long time, she said in a shy voice: "When I was born, Cheng Han was gone, but I heard from the old man that the days now are the same as when Cheng Han was. What difference."
