Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Li Yi'an said: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Next, they also left the county office.

Li Shimin wanted to continue persuading Li Yi'an to take over the position of Chang'an Salt and Iron Envoy, but was rejected again.

In desperation, Li Shimin had no choice but to put it down temporarily, not daring to press too hard.

After asking all the questions that should be asked, Li Shimin went back to Chang'an first. As soon as he arrived at the Ganlu Hall, a warrior came in and said, Du Ruhui asked to see him.

"Hurry up!"

Li Shimin said quickly.

"Your Majesty, good news!"

Du Ruhui smiled happily: "There is good news in the southwest, General Li has won a complete victory."

The southwest is far away from Chang'an, and the terrain is complicated. It is not easy for the northern army to go to the south to fight, and the news is slow to come back.

"Really?"

Li Shimin smiled: "Xiao Gong really did not disappoint me!"

"Mr.'s plan to abolish prisons and replace officials, how is the promotion done after the pilot program?"

The stability of the Southwest and complete submission are also very important to Li Shimin.

As for the floating official system, they feel that it is definitely a once-and-for-all method if it can be implemented.

"The pilot project has already started. General Li said from the letter that he was blocked in the early stage and is continuing to use troops to suppress it."

Du Ruhui presented the letter in his hand.

Li Shimin looked at it carefully for a while, and said happily: "Okay, that's great, Xiaogong should be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and the master's contribution is even greater, but...he resigned from the post of salt and iron envoy to me today."

Du Ruhui knew what Li Shimin was thinking, and he just wanted to reward Li Yi'an, so he thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, sir is the prince's teacher, why don't you make him the prince's young teacher?"

"It makes sense, let's make it like this first, by the way! How about Champa rice and other things?"

This is related to the people's livelihood, and is the key to whether the people are hungry. Li Shimin will ask it every once in a while.

"Champa rice has already started to be cultivated, and we will only know how it will be after the autumn harvest." Du Ruhui said.

Still waiting?

Li Shimin couldn't wait in his heart, but he couldn't be in a hurry for planting. If you are in a hurry, it will only backfire.

Chapter 130 New Book

Not long after Li Shimin left, the four evils in Chang'an got the news that they could go to class today, and hurried over.

"Sir, are you surprised to see me coming?"

Cheng Yaojin squeezed forward from behind them, and suddenly appeared in front of Li Yi'an.

"Seeing General Cheng, I was only surprised, but not happy."

Li Yi'an had no choice but to invite him in. He still remembered that Fatty Cheng spoiled his own wine last time, but cooperated forcefully in selling wine.

"I'm here this time to deliver wine to my husband."

Cheng Yaojin clapped his hands, and a servant came in with a big wine jar, put it on the table in the front yard, and couldn't wait to open the seal.

A faint scent of wine diffused at this moment, refreshing the heart and lungs.

"smell good!"

Wanshun was originally playing with Li Lizhi, but when she smelled this special aroma of wine, she couldn't help running over.

These wines were made by Cheng Yaojin according to the formula given by Li Yi'an, through distillation, purification and flavoring.

These wines not only have the taste of alcohol, but also add other spices, and the feeling of fragrance makes people intoxicated before drinking.

"It's really delicious!"

Li Lizhi stood on tiptoe, and the two little girls held hands and said expectantly.

Even Chang Sun Chong and the others couldn't help but surround them when they smelled the fragrance.

Cheng Chumo, a good-for-nothing, almost drooled, because Cheng Yaojin kept it hidden and didn't even show it to him.

"Brother, can I have a drink?"

Wan Shun said eagerly.

Li Lizhi repeatedly nodded to express that she wanted it too. They were still snacks, and they thought that as long as it smelled good, it must be delicious.

"Child, don't drink."

Li Yi'an laughed again: "Unexpectedly, General Cheng's movements are so fast."

Cheng Yaojin grinned and said, "Yuchi Heizi's salt has started to be sold. Recently, I heard that those aristocratic families have started to increase the prices of various things in order to force His Majesty to bow down, including wine. We have to sell our wine too." .”

"The scent is exactly the same as the one you used before. I don't know how it will taste. I haven't tasted it yet. I'll bring it here for my husband to try."

After all, he also asked people to put the prepared wine glasses on the table, very thoughtful.

Li Yi'an poured himself a glass, sipped it carefully for a while, nodded and said, "It tastes the same, not bad! But the wine must be ordered by the government. How is General Cheng preparing?"

Cheng Yaojin patted his heart and assured him: "I have talked with Mr. Pei, and most of the profits from selling wine are given to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In addition, His Majesty plans to set up Chang'an Liquor Industry. It is basically no problem for the wine to be used as an official business. Except for this kind of wine Me, anyone who wants to sell it in the future must get the consent of Chang'an Liquor Industry, just like salt."

Fatty Cheng doesn't seem very reliable, but he is quite careful when doing things, knowing that he has to take care of many people and things.

"Sir, do you really not want to benefit?"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but asked again

"I'm not short of money, just enough money for me, but the imperial court is easily short of money."

Li Yi'an thought of another thing while talking: "Can General Cheng send me some wine? It doesn't need a lot, about twenty catties is enough. The ones I had before were almost ruined by you."

When mentioning that matter, Cheng Yaojin smiled embarrassedly: "Of course it's no problem, I'll go back and send it to my husband."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin left immediately, and after about half an hour, he sent someone to deliver a large cart of wine, far more than twenty catties.

"How about we have a drink, sir?"

Seeing so much wine, Cheng Yaojin felt a little hungry.
