Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 305;

Chapter three hundred and six; three old worshipers

Li Shimin picked up a copybook on the table and was about to copy it when he suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile;

"Dehai, do you know the Zhou family, one of the seven wealthy families in central Sichuan?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, I have heard about it. The Zhou family seems to have a close relationship with Dai Shaoqing's family of Dali Temple for more than 200 years. Otherwise, how dare Zhou Yifu grab wine in the street?"

Thinking that Chang'an City had run out of Wuliangye for almost two months, Dai Boyang went to Lantian to get back a [-]-pound treasure, which was snatched away before it reached his mouth, Qian Dehai couldn't help laughing;
"Your Majesty, Dai Boyang must be very angry. He gave you five thousand guan for twenty catties. Yesterday, when the Duke of Wei was talking to the Duke of Yingying, when the slaves passed by, they picked up and listened to a few words.

It turns out that the current Wuliangye in Chang'an City costs one thousand a catty, and there is no place to buy it. Think about it, Li Xianbo hasn't been here for two months, and there is no sale at all. Zhou Yifu was really a bandit..."

Li Shimin imagined that Dai Boyang, with his incomparably stable temperament, was jumping and cursing on Zhuque Street angrily. He was probably really angry, and he couldn't copy anymore, so he held up the tea bowl with a smile.

Seeing that Li Shimin was in a happier mood, Qian Dehai smiled to make fun of him;

"Your Majesty, I heard Ma Xiaowei read it just now. That Fan Yang Lu family has really come to his senses this time, and the first family to register is his family's first house and second house."

Li Shimin said with a smile;

"Speaking of this, Dehai, tomorrow you go to the Ministry of Education of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to pass on my oral order and draw up a decree~ Lu Jishan has outstanding achievements in government, and ask him to go to the Cangbu Division to fill the position of doctor who has been vacant for a long time, and test his ability Say more."

Qian Dehai scratched his head and asked in puzzlement;

"Your Majesty, tell him to go to the Ministry of Households to be a doctor, then... this is a three-level promotion?"

Li Shimin picked up the tea and took a sip, then said unhurriedly;
"This person already has some ability. Last year, I intentionally gave him the position of doctor. It's just that his ineffective eldest son delayed his future.

Now that he has come to his senses, he has linked up with many powerful families and came out to support the affairs of the imperial court. If he has made merit here, it must be considered an opportunity. This is the best time for him to be promoted.

Coincidentally, Cangbusi is in charge of the brewery. Let's see how he will act after he takes office. It is impossible to suppress all the powerful families in the world.

Not to mention suppressing all of them, after all, there are good and bad inside, and besides, everything has both yin and yang, both good and bad.

Bad, if he has to be beaten, he can't stand up, well, of course, he should be rewarded, otherwise, why would the world believe in me?

For example, Wang Gui, who dares to say that he is not a talented prime minister?But his second son is much better than those five pests!
The five evils are nothing more than oppressing the good people, but Wang Tan is just like Cui Wang, always fighting against the court, although I tolerate it?
But Wang Gui's career path, I also blocked him because of this, whether to raise him or not to teach~ It's my father's fault, even if he has the ability to push the sky, he can't even manage a family well, this alone, he is not a prime minister s material.

Whenever he couldn't handle the housework well, he couldn't sit in the position of prime minister. "

Qian Dehai approached Li Shimin, gestured and said;

"Your Majesty, why don't you just call Wang Tan, Cui Wang, the Baiqi commander, and those gangsters...to prevent future troubles."

Qian Dehai used his right hand as a knife, and slashed fiercely at his neck.

Li Shimin said seriously;

"No, they can't make any big waves for the time being. We'll save it for later. If I can't even deal with those clowns, what kind of world will I manage?"

Seeing that the emperor disagreed, Qian Dehai became a little anxious;

"But Your Majesty, I heard what Captain Ma said just now, the group of guys are walking around, pulling people's heads together, insisting on opposing Your Majesty, I am anxious,

I can't wait to tear their corpses into ten thousand pieces so that the Holy Majesty can clear the way. If they are allowed to continue to make trouble, what if Wuliangye's affairs are disturbed... What should I do?

Or... I will go to see the three old priests tonight, and invite them to come out of the mountain. The old priests are experienced in the world, and they have always done things without anyone noticing. The clean and good method will definitely make them die by coincidence It’s incomparable, it’s justified, and absolutely no one doubts it..."

Li Shimin glared at Qian Dehai, ignored him, picked up a playbook, and checked it.

This made Qian Dehai baffled, and it was difficult to interrupt the emperor's handling of government affairs, so he could only worry about it on the sidelines.

Li Shimin finished reading the playbook in his hand, put it aside together, took another one, and then said;

"This matter is not allowed, and you are not allowed to bother your adoptive father and the others. Once the three father-in-laws are old, let them enjoy their old age. They will kill and kill at every turn. You learned from those three idiots?
How could it be like this now that you have talked to Jingde in one breath and went to his house for a few drinks?Brainless fool. "

Seeing that his suggestion was rejected again, Qian Dehai answered in a dejected manner;
"According to the order, if His Majesty does not allow it, then let them make trouble."

Li Shimin looked at the person closest to him, and was still a little unconvinced in his words, so he dropped the notebook in his hand and taught him patiently;
"Don't always fight and kill. Killing can solve the problem? According to your thinking, the aristocratic families and those rich and powerful families should not bleed into rivers, and more than half of them will die?

Waiting for them to accumulate almost enough, to commit major crimes, to punish them publicly, to pick out a small part of them, to pick out a few cheerful ones, and to kill them all.

It is also a role model for other families to show, there is no need to make a fuss at ordinary times, besides, there are fierce infighting among the clans, and they will not change the decision of the family because of one person, what are you afraid of? "

Qian Dehai understood this time, His Majesty's intention was not not to kill, but just not the right time, and he felt better;

"Your Majesty, I thought His Majesty didn't care about it, so let them make a fuss?"

"It's okay to make a fuss a few times. Take the opportunity to see who is loyal to the court and wants to follow the court. You can count in your heart when you pick them out.

Remember those who jumped out first, and never use it in the future. When the time is ripe, no one will be left. When the time comes, they will settle their accounts one by one. The roads are all made by themselves, no wonder others..."

"By the way, you and Qingzhi drank until midnight last night, but do you know the queen's recent situation? I have been sleeping in the study for the past few days.
I don't have time to go to the queen, and I don't know how the queen is doing recently? "

"Your Majesty, Qingzhi didn't drink at all last night, and he was full of displeasure. When he mentioned the recent situation of His Royal Highness,

Qingzhi frowned, saying that the empress was worried about His Majesty's affairs, she was restless in sleep and food, and her body was haggard. "

"Well, since I didn't finish eating last night, I don't need to wait for you tonight. You can go to him and eat again. The remaining one catty from last time will be rewarded to you two. Take it tonight."

When Qian Dehai heard that His Majesty rewarded a catty of Wuliangye, he was very excited. Nowadays, it is a good thing that Chang'an is short of, and it can't be bought for a catty of a thousand guan;
"Your Majesty, this is a little too expensive, and it's not easy for slaves to bear..."

"What's the fuss, I really don't want it, so I gave it to someone else?"

Qian Dehai just gave in casually, and it would be a disaster, so he said quickly;

"Ah, I want it, I want it, I want it, thank you for your grace."

"Take it if you want, don't talk nonsense, Ye Qingzhi has been serving the queen since she was a child, and has been around for decades. They have a deep love between master and servant, and if the queen doesn't go well, Qingzhi will naturally be unhappy.

His Royal Highness is very worried, and he can't be happy. Qingzhi is a meritorious person and a loyal loyalist. I can't bear to see him grow old and still be unable to eat with the queen.

That's why I asked you to bring Wuliangye and eat it to relieve his boredom. You can ask the kitchen to pack some meat and vegetables for you, and you can also persuade him a little bit.

Wait a little longer, Li Dalang is going to bring in baijiu in the next few days, when Li Dalang handles the affairs of the household department and settles down the important affairs of the court,

I allow you two to take a rest for a few days, so that you two old buddies can put down your worries and have a good time together. "

"Slave thank you, Your Majesty..."

"Go, you don't need to serve here."

"promise."

Qian Dehai smiled like coal ashes, turned around, took out a small jar from the corner of the study, held it in his arms, and saluted Li Shimin again, Li Shimin waved his hand without raising his head.

Over there they asked the kitchen to prepare the food, and here they asked a servant to invite the night manager to come over. Qian Dehai opened the wine jar, but he sniffed it vigorously.
The pungent smell of strong wine went straight into her nose, Qian Dehai covered the jar, and leaned comfortably on the bed, while two court ladies sat on both sides and gently patted her back.

Not long after, Ye Qingzhi came into the room. The two chief managers were both old buddies, so they sat down directly and took advantage of the few meat dishes that had just been served, talking while eating.
Qian Dehai told the gossip about Dai Boyang being robbed of [-] catties of liquor in the street, laughing so hard...

Ye Qingzhi ate the spirits, already had a plan in mind, and answered calmly;
"Isn't it true that Dai Boyang can be happy when someone snatches five thousand guan wine?"

After laughing, Qian Dehai took another sip of white wine and put down the wine respecter;

"Although you are a few years older than me, you are not as well informed as I am about the anecdotes in Chang'an City. Do you think that the five thousand crowns Dai Boyang got cheap? You are wrong, it is a big mistake..."

Ye Qingzhi asked with a smile;

"Oh? What's wrong, you old man, tell me quickly, don't tease me evasively."

Qian Dehai shook his head and said;

"You hide with Her Highness the Queen all day long, you are almost useless, I am not talking about you, you can also learn from me, when you are free, go out and walk around, look at the scenery in Chang'an City, you can also An insight is not..."

Ye Qingzhi pretended to stand up;
"Are you going to say it or not, or I'm leaving?"

"Don't go, don't be in a hurry. Everyone allows me to take a bath tonight. Let's talk more. Sit down, sit down and talk. You are the one who is really impatient."

"Then hurry up and say, Dai Boyang exchanged [-] catties of liquor for [-], why isn't it considered a bargain?"

"Hey, you don't know something, Qingzhi, in Chang'an City, the price of Wuliangye's liquor changes every day, yesterday's wine was worth a catty and a thousand cups.
There is still a price but no stock. If Dai Boyang's twenty catties are sold, tens of thousands of them will be put into the warehouse in an instant. Do you think he will lose money? "

After Ye Qingzhi heard this, she didn't say much, she just chatted with Qian Dehai over delicious food and wine. In less than half an hour, the two of them ate up a catty of liquor.

Ye Qingzhi said that there was still something to do in the palace, so she got up and said goodbye, and took a few servants and servants, and the palace maid went out.

When Ye Qingzhi left, a court lady next to Qian Dehai came up and sat down carelessly, Qian De came up the stairs and put his hands in his arms, the court lady complained and said;

"The manager is really generous. Your Majesty is not willing to eat a catty. To reward us, you asked the night manager to eat half of it. How distressed you are."

Qian Dehai said indifferently;

"You little bastard, how do you know that everyone's rewards are not for free, but for doing something?"

The court lady in Qian Dehai's arms said very doubtfully;
"Working? What are you doing? Your Majesty will reward you with a catty of white wine. Is there any other explanation?"

"So, I'm the manager, and you all have to serve me. The knowledge in the middle is generous. I've done everything I need to do. If you can see it, why should I be a manager?"

Not to mention that Qian Dehai scratched and yelled at the two serving maids, but Ye Qingzhi hurriedly left Qian Dehai's small courtyard and returned to the Queen's bedroom, and asked a court lady;
"Your Highness is going to bed?"

"If you go back to the manager, it will be almost half an hour before you go to bed."

Ye Qingzhi whispered;
"Well, then I will talk to His Highness tomorrow, and you all take care of him lightly. It is not easy for His Highness to go to bed, so don't be disturbed."

"promise."

Ye Qingzhi was about to turn around and go back to her yard when she heard the voice of her eldest grandson from the back room;
"It's Qingzhi who came back from drinking, why didn't he come in and talk outside?"

When Ye Qingzhi heard that the queen had been woken up, she replied helplessly at the entrance of the bedroom;
"Damn the maidservant, she spoke loudly and woke up His Highness."

Hearing only clear voices from the bedroom, it was obvious that His Royal Highness the Empress sat up from the couch;
"When you went to Qian Dehai's place, how much wine did you drink, and how did you still eat so many rules? His Majesty is not in our palace today, so why are you still standing outside talking?"

Ye Qingzhi quickly agreed, and then walked into the bedroom. The two maids next to her quickly opened the door lightly, sent Ye Qingzhi in respectfully, and then gently closed the door again.

"Your Highness, quickly find a shirt to put on, really, I have been in poor health since I was a child..."

As soon as Ye Qingqing came in, he saw Her Highness the Queen wearing only a tunic, sitting on the couch, complaining, and took clothes for the Queen to put on her body.

Empress Changsun tightened the coat that Ye Qingzhi put on, and whispered;
"It's not too cold at the end of February, and the windows are all closed. It doesn't matter. Tell me first, what did Qian Dehai tell you, is there anything useful?"

Ye Qingzhi answered with a low voice;

"Yes, it's useful, it's very useful, Your Highness, you don't know that now in Chang'an City, a catty of Wuliangye has been sold for a thousand guan,

Even so, there is still a price but no stock, Your Highness, let's not hesitate any longer, take advantage of Li Xianbo's opportunity to get liquor, find a way to get some, and our palace can be enriched a lot.

We have a private treasury, it is no different from being empty now, the servants are almost dying of anxiety, Your Highness! "

Empress Changsun rubbed her forehead with her hand, sighed and said;

"Oh my God, are those rich people crazy, a thousand guan just to eat a catty of extremely spicy liquor that chokes their throats?"

"Oh my lord, we don't care if they lose money or not. They have money and are willing to spend it, that's all."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty rewarded Qian Dehai with the remaining catty of liquor?"

"That's right, Your Highness, otherwise he conjures a catty out of thin air..."

"Then what else did Qian Dehai say?"

Ye Qingzhi thought for a while before saying;

"I didn't say anything, just said that His Majesty also mentioned it this afternoon, Li Xianbo will bring fine wine in the next two days,
He also said that His Majesty told us that when Bola from Li County came to drink wine and solve the troubles, he would give us a rest for a few days and tell us two old guys to get together. "

Empress Changsun is so smart, he knew that Ye Qingzhi was sincere and didn't have so many twists and turns, but after hearing this, Changsun immediately understood the meaning and said with a smile on his face;

"Okay, then I'll do as you want this time, but we don't have to wait for him to bring liquor. You will leave the city immediately tomorrow morning and go to Lantian County.

Just say that Ben Gong misses him, and arrange for you to go for me to see if he has grown taller. By the way, you go to the warehouse to pick up two items from your daughter's house.
Bring it to the two concubines in his mansion, and tell him to make a decree, which is a reward from this palace. That child is ice-snow and smart, and will arrange it for you..."

Ye Qingzhi heard His Highness the Queen asked him to arrange two gifts to bring, which was difficult for him;

"But Your Highness, what do you want to take? It's not easy to take it out if it's too light. Besides, the slaves don't understand these things from the daughter's house?"

Empress Changsun felt more careless tonight, and she immediately felt much happier, smiling and comforting Ye Qingzhi;
"Don't panic, let me think about it. By the way, I remember that His Majesty gave me six jade hairpins from the anti-king's warehouse when he defeated Dou Jiande a few years ago, and he has never used one.
Those jade hairpins are incomparably dexterous, but they are high-quality treasures, each one of them is a rare treasure, and it is more than enough to reward his two concubines. You can go now, pick two out, and don't leave tomorrow Urgent, I forgot..."

"No, I will go now, Your Highness, my servant knows what to do..."
