Datang New Giants

Chapter 187
"Students pay homage to their teacher." As soon as they entered the study, Lu Ting bowed without saying a word.

The goal of becoming a student of the Son of Heaven has not changed, so if I have the chance, I will call more often so that Li Er will not forget.

"Get up," Li Er said kindly.

"Thank you, Master." Lu Ting saluted again, and then stood up happily.

Now Li Er doesn't dislike calling him a mentor, which is a very good trend.

Li Er took a look at Lu Ting, and asked with interest: "That wine is not bad, Lu Ting, how did you come up with it?"

After so many years of fighting in the South and the North, Li Er asked himself to taste famous wines all over the world, but it was the first time he drank such a strong and mellow wine. He was so happy just now that he drank two bowls in a row. Inexplicably high.

Needless to say, these are all thanks to the new wine brewed by Lu Ting.

"Returning to the teacher, it is a student's honor to get the teacher's appreciation for what the student figured out unintentionally."

Figured it out?Is it so easy to figure out?
Li Er didn't know what to say, so he asked casually: "By the way, I was patronizing wine tasting just now, what does this wine call for?"

This kid is an all-rounder, he is proficient in calculations, he can write good poems, and he can also run a business. He didn't expect to be able to make wine. It's not a bad thing to accept an all-round disciple.

"As soon as it's brewed, I'll bring it to my mentor to taste. I haven't had time to name it, why don't my mentor give it a name." Lu Ting had an idea, and immediately sent the good news of naming to Li Er.

The name of Xiaweitang is Zhang Hengqi. At that time, the position was too low and inconspicuous. He didn't dare to disturb Li Er, so as not to say that he deliberately asked for credit. Now the situation is much better, and even the name of master and apprentice has been confirmed very quickly. Give Li Er a top hat.

Anyway, he's happy too.

As soon as Li Er heard it, he was amused. He closed his eyes and recollected it, and quickly said: "This wine is very strong. After drinking it, it makes people courageous and chivalrous. It is called chivalrous wine. How about it?"

"When you think of Xiaweitang, you can think of Xiaxia; as soon as you drink Xiaweitang, you will think of Xiaweitang. The two complement each other. A good name, the mentor is really good, courageous, and chivalrous. Students want to be in Every wine jar is written with the teacher's words, boldly ask the teacher for permission."

After gaining the world, Li Er allowed people like Wei Zheng who dared to speak up to exist in order to be famous through the ages. He not only allowed him to exist, but also listened to his advice. This kind of thing, needless to say, must be happy.

"It's just a few words, just take it if you like it." Li Er said generously.

At the banquet, Lu Ting talked about the new wine, not only about the pricing, but also said that every year a part of the profit of the winery would be used for charity. This is definitely a famous thing. What an honor it is that the wine that he named himself is sold all over the world, and where the chivalrous wine goes, his words are also spread.

Besides, spreading the word can also show my care and support for Wuyitang.

After Lu Ting thanked him, he said a little embarrassedly: "Teacher, can you write these six characters? When the students go back, they will be kept in the wine shop, and the craftsman will also ask the craftsman to rub it on the wine jar."

"I'm getting drunk, I'm too lazy to write, I'll reward you when I finish writing." Li Er pondered for a while, and quickly agreed.

While speaking, there were smiles in his eyes and brows.

Spreading one's own words on the wine jar, the more the wine is sold, the more people will see one's own words, this is a glorious thing, Li Er naturally agrees.

The inscription is a big or small thing, and you can't be rude to others. If you write on the spot, you may not write it well, so you might as well write it later, write a few more pictures, and choose one to send to Lu Ting.

If there is anything else to say, Lu Ting naturally thanked Li Er for his concern on behalf of Wuyitang.

Li Er became more and more satisfied with Lu Ting, and suddenly said: "Lu Ting, do you have any words?"

Just now when everyone was asked to point out their shortcomings, they were almost left in the cold. Fortunately, Lu Ting stepped forward in time. Although the effect was not ideal, it is a good thing to have someone who is talented, smart and able to help him.

Seeing that Lu Ting's performance is getting better and better, he thinks that he is still his disciple, even though it is registered, he cannot be wronged.

Lu Ting was overjoyed, and said with some shame: "Teacher, the student hasn't picked up the characters yet."

Age is one reason, the main reason is that there is no fame, so the matter of taking characters has been dragging on, anyway, Lu Ting is not in a hurry.

Li Er nodded, thought for a while, and then opened his mouth: "Liu An said that without indifference (same as: indifference) there is no virtue, no tranquility can go far, no magnanimity can cover everything, and no kindness can do anything. In order to cherish the masses, there is no way to control the non-justice, so let's take Zhiyuan as the word, okay?"

It was the first time for him to be a teacher, and he hadn't given a character to his disciples yet. Li Er felt that it was novel and interesting, and after thinking about it for a while, he chose a character that he thought he was satisfied with.

"Lu Zhiyuan, these two words are not only good, but also contain the teacher's ardent expectations. The students are very satisfied, thank you teacher for the words." Lu Ting was overjoyed, and solemnly thanked the teacher.

It is enough to be willing to give the word, as long as it is not too unpleasant and has obvious ambiguity, Lu Ting will recognize it.

Li Er showed a smile only for a teacher, and quickly said with a serious face: "This king bestows the letter, which is a reward for you. If you want to become my official disciple, Zhiyuan, you have to continue to work hard."

Young man, you can't be proud, Li Er is also afraid that Lu Ting will cause trouble in his own name, so he warns him in advance.

Lu Ting quickly said: "The teacher is right, the students will definitely continue to work hard, and will never embarrass the teacher."

The twisted melon is not sweet, less than two months of apprenticeship, Li Er has greatly improved himself, and even offered to give letters, and he is not far from a formal disciple.

"Okay, step back, you can go on your own, the king has to deal with some things."

Until now, nothing has arrived yet. Prince Qin, Tiance Mansion, and Daxingtai of Shandong Road have things to do. They are in charge of nearly half of the Tang Dynasty's army. There are many things to deal with every day, and some things can wait, but Some things need to be dealt with in time.

Lu Ting didn't stop there too much, and left according to his words.

It's not easy, I'm one step closer to being a student of the Son of Heaven.

There is only the last small altar left, it's time to meet the little maidservant, no, it's the eldest lady of the Zheng family who pretends to be the little maidservant.

The corners of Lu Ting's mouth turned up slightly, it's amazing, she has to be awarded the best newcomer award in the film industry, she is so shrewd, and she has been hiding it for so long, so let's see how long she pretends.

Just as he was about to leave Prince Qin's mansion, someone suddenly shouted: "Master Lu, Mr. Lu, wait a moment."

Turning around, he saw that the person who spoke was Fang Xuanling, and Lu Ting said in surprise, "Secretary Fang, do you have any orders?"

Fang Xuanling is the chief steward of Prince Qin's Mansion, Li Er's right-hand man, he makes decisions for Li Er in many matters, and Lu Ting shows enough respect to him.

"Mr. Lu, your wine is pretty good. The house's wine storage is a bit insufficient. Let's see when it's the kind of wine jug today, and bring in a thousand or hundreds of jugs." Fang Xuanling said carelessly.

"A thousand or a few jars?" Lu Ting's eyes widened, and he quickly shook his head and said, "Secretary Fang, let alone a thousand or a few hundred jars, I can't afford even ten jars. The cost of this wine is high and the craftsmanship is special. , the three jars of wine today are already five days’ production.”

The personnel have not yet been in place, and the scale has not yet expanded. How can there be so many.

Fang Xuanling said with a puzzled look: "The amount of five days is only so small? Then how to promote it?"

Lu Ting quickly talked about the personnel and scale issues. Now it is just a trial production, and there is no official mass production. After mass production, the output will be greatly increased.

"Before mid-March, two hundred altars, no problem." Fang Xuanling expressed his understanding and reduced the number by more than half.

"Secretary Fang, don't worry, before mid-March, I will deliver these two hundred altars of chivalrous wine no matter what." Lu Ting gritted his teeth.

It's only [-] catties of wine, not much. After the scale is up, the daily output will be more than enough. Of course, if the performance is good, if the promise is too fast, maybe he will make new requests.

It is too easy to get, and the other party will not cherish it.

"Xiajiu?" Fang Xuanling was surprised, and quickly said with insight: "Is this the name given to Xinjiu by the prince?"

"Secretary Fang really has nothing left behind, and his subordinates admire him."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Xiajiu, it's really good to get this name, that's enough, Master Lu can do as he pleases, I still have to deal with some official duties."

Seeing that Fang Xuanling turned around and wanted to leave, Lu Ting held him back and said with a smile: "Secretary Fang, there are still important things to say."

"Important matter? What's the matter?" Fang Xuanling said a little puzzled.

Lu Ting rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand: "It's just about the price. Don't worry, the secretary of the room. As long as the price is the cost, it will definitely be better than that."

"Money? Do you still dare to ask for money?" Fang Xuanling said with a serious face: "There are so many craftsmen in the Qin Palace, how many days have you borrowed, have you calculated the wages? You even coaxed the old man to empty the material warehouse of the Qin Palace Most of the time, this account has not been settled with you, you can also withdraw money, maybe you don't know the wages of the craftsmen in the Qin Palace, do you want to sit down and settle it together?"

"No, no, before the middle of March, the [-] jars of wine must be delivered in full. Secretary Fang, the subordinates still have something to do, so please leave first." Lu Ting said as he hurried out.

Playing minds with an old fox like Fang Xuanling is definitely not his opponent. How can you count against him? Maybe the more you count, the more you count.

If he wants it, give it to him. Anyway, the cost of a catty of wine is no more than eight qian, and [-] jin sounds like a lot. If it is converted into [-] qian, it is equivalent to [-] guan, and it only costs [-] guan as a gift to the Qin Palace. , Let everyone be happy, it's a good deal.

If you give twenty guan of real money, no one will take a look at it.

Just sending wine to Cheng Yaojin and Du Ruhui's four influential families is too little, let Lao Du hurry up and bring out more wine, and give some to big names like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji. You can't lose sight of the other.

Small money can do big things, worth it.

"Boss, why didn't you call me when you left?" Cheng Chuliang trotted after he had just left the gate of Prince Qin's mansion, and said unwillingly.

They came together, Lu Ting could attend the banquet, Cheng Chuliang could only wait in the side room, although food and drink were indispensable, the difference in treatment was still a bit big, he was bored in the side room, when he suddenly heard his attendants say that Lu Ting was leaving Qin Palace, he hurriedly chased after him come out.

Almost forgot about this little tail, Lu Ting said with some embarrassment: "Almost forgot about it, third child, there is nothing to do today, you can go back home."
