Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 64 Missed
Grapes were introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty.

Since then, it has been planted all over China.

There are also people who make wine from grapes.

But to say that the most authentic wine belongs to the Western Regions.

The grapes in the Western Regions have a long sunshine time, which makes them plump and juicy, and the wine produced is also the most mellow.

It's just that after Qin Tian drank it in Duke Yi's mansion, he felt that although the wine from the Western Regions was good, the price of [-] guan was still a bit expensive.

A pot is only five catties, and five catties of wine costs twenty guan, which is a bit deceitful. The key point is that it is not particularly full-bodied, I am afraid that the merchants in the Western Regions will suffer miserably.

After drinking the wine, Qin Tian said: "Father, although this wine is good, it is too expensive. I also make wine now, and it can relieve the heat. It tastes much better than this wine. After it is brewed , I sent some to my adoptive father."

Hearing that Qin Tian was making wine, Qin Shubao frowned and said, "Do you have a license to make wine?"

As soon as Qin Tian heard this, he knew what was going on. He shook his head and said, "No, but foster father, don't worry, I don't intend to sell it, I just drank it myself."

After explaining this way, Qin Shubao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Old Qin, don't make a fuss too much. Isn't it just wine making? If Xiaotian really wants to sell it, let's get him a certificate." It’s fine if you don’t.”

Qin Shubao rolled his eyes, now that a war could happen at any time, Datang might be in short supply, so can we still make wine casually?
But just as they were about to say it, they suddenly remembered that Qin Tian was there, and they were not sure about the war, and it was a court secret, so it was inconvenient to say more, so they endured it.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin speak for him, Qin Tian felt very comfortable in his heart. He suddenly felt that although Qin Shubao was his adoptive father and treated him well, he was obviously too stressed, and it was not natural for him to be with him.

Unlike Cheng Yaojin, the whole person looks very pleasing.

Just when Qin Tian was thinking this way, the laughing Cheng Yaojin suddenly grabbed Qin Tian's hand with a slap: "Little God, this wine of yours can also cool off the heat. After brewing, I will also give it to Uncle Cheng's house." Send some here, or your Uncle Cheng will love you for nothing..."

Qin Tian was speechless, he dared to love Cheng Yaojin, that's what he wanted.

"Nature, nature..."

One jar of wine can be drunk by one person, let alone several people, so the wine will soon bottom out, and after drinking all the wine, Qin Tian didn't stop at Duke Yi's mansion, and got up directly I bid farewell and went back to Qinjia Village.

But after Qin Tian left, Qin Wang Li Shimin returned to Qin Wangfu from outside.

When he came to Prince Qin's mansion, Li Ji was already waiting.

"My lord, how is the situation?"

"My lord, the king has received conclusive news. There is indeed a vision in the Turks. Jieli Khan is planning to use troops against our Lingzhou in the Tang Dynasty. If Lingzhou falls to the enemy, the connection between our Tang Dynasty and Yumen Pass will be cut off. The Silk Road Not to mention being destroyed, my Great Tang will be directly under the Turkic iron cavalry, and there is a possibility of being sent south by them at any time."

Li Shimin's expression was dignified. All along, they have been committed to restoring internal unity, and they have somewhat neglected to guard against the ethnic groups on the grassland.

But ever since Liu Heizai colluded with the Eastern Turks, the Turks frequently burned and harassed the borders of the Tang Dynasty, plundering their wealth and population.

Now that the people of the Tang Dynasty have just taken back the food, how could the Turks let go of such a piece of fat?

"My lord, Jieli Khan has just been on the throne for two years. The Turks are an alliance of various tribes. In order to stabilize his Khan position, he may need this big battle. From his attack on Lingzhou, it is not difficult to see this. Jieli Khan is very different from the previous Qimin Khan, who only wanted wealth and population, but this Jieli Khan has big ambitions."

Li Ji frowned slightly when he spoke, and Li Shimin nodded: "What the British Duke said is very true, we must think of a countermeasure as soon as possible, I don't know where are Yi Guogong and the others?"

"After retiring from the court, they all went to Yiguo's mansion to drink. The prince didn't know that someone impeached Qin Tian today, and the Holy One called Qin Tian into the palace..."

Li Ji briefly told Li Shimin what happened this morning, and Li Shimin showed a slight smile after listening: "This Qin Tian is interesting. He even wanted to justify the name of pork, and he succeeded."

Li Ji shook his head: "It's also because the Holy One likes to eat dumplings filled with soup, otherwise it would be so easy."

"That's what I said, but without his soup dumplings, it's almost impossible to justify the name of pork, and, from what you said just now, what he said in the court hall was a bit too naive, but If there are people who are dedicated to serving the people as he said, how can we worry about not being rich and powerful in the Tang Dynasty?"

After saying that, Li Shimin paused for a while, and said: "Since Duke Yi is drinking at the mansion, let's ask for a drink too, and this king also wants to meet this Qin Tian."

From Qin Tian's automatic water wheel, to mosquito coils, toilet water, and later steamed buns and spicy soup, etc., this Qin Tian has deeply attracted Li Shimin, making Li Shimin more and more curious about him.

It's just that in the past he was busy persuading the people to irrigate and discussing the military situation, so he never had a chance to meet Qin Tian. Today, since Qin Tian is in Duke Yi's mansion, and he was looking for Qin Shubao on business, he wanted to drop by.

Li Ji naturally understood, so without any hesitation, he hurried to Duke Yi's mansion.

In the living room of Duke Yi's mansion, the sound of glasses of wine could be faintly heard. Hearing this, Li Shimin wanted to make a joke, so as soon as he walked to the door, he shouted: "Okay, you guys steal Drinking wine and not calling me the king is not interesting..."

As he spoke, he glanced inside, wanting to see that it was Qin Tian, ​​but after taking a look, everyone in the room knew each other, and there was no one named Qin Tian.

But at this time, Qin Shubao and others thought that Li Shimin was really angry, so they quickly stood up and saluted.

"My lord, I'll wait..."

Before Qin Shubao could finish his words, Li Shimin, who was already somewhat dispirited, waved his hands and asked, "Where's Qin Tian?"

"Qin Tian?" Everyone was puzzled, why did Li Shimin ask Qin Tian for what?
"Isn't he drinking with you?"

Everyone was a little dazed, Qin Shubao quickly said: "My lord, after Qin Tian finished drinking the wine, he left."

Li Shimin became more and more disappointed, thinking to himself that this kid is really dishonest, he just drank the good wine and left?

It's a pity that I came all the way here. I knew that the boy was not there, so I sent someone to announce that Qin Shubao and others had passed the Qin Palace.

Now that this was the case, Li Shimin could only sigh softly, and then directly talked about the military situation with Qin Shubao and the others in Yiguo Duke's Mansion. Although everyone was curious about what Li Shimin was looking for Qin Tian, ​​it was inconvenient to ask more questions at this time.
