Sui and Tang Dynasties: At the beginning, Mrs. Li ran away from relatives

How can a person with such concentration be an ordinary person?

"In addition to the layout of the Cao family, many capable people followed."

The more Xiao Meiniang thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Involuntarily, she couldn't accept the mood of competing with the King of Han, and she got a little better.

"During this time, you will be in charge of the concubines in the palace."

Cao Feng continued to speak, his expression remained calm as always.

"This is…"

These words made Xiao Meiniang's face change slightly, this was to retain her former queen's rights.

"Including the finances of the harem and other matters."

Cao Feng added a sentence.

"I……"

Hearing this, Xiao Meiniang remained silent.

She thought in her heart that even if she had a tea ceremony with King Han, His Majesty would still come to rescue her.

"Ah."

Because of the last hope, Xiao Meiniang cheered up and still chose to follow the King of Han's wishes and did not provoke him.

"It's okay, the widow will accompany you slowly."

Perhaps it can be fooled by most people, but Cao Feng carefully observed Xiao Meiniang's hidden thoughts.

However, he didn't deliberately point it out, there is plenty of time.

He wants Xiao Meiniang to give up completely, stay in Luoyang with peace of mind, and learn tea art with him at any time.

"This is the loot of the widow. Even if we negotiate with the Sui family, it cannot be used as a bargaining chip."

Thinking, Cao Feng flashed many thoughts.

As for the civil and military family members of the Sui Dynasty, they belong to the bargaining chips of the entire Han army, and these can be used to negotiate with the Sui Dynasty Emperor.

It can also bring benefits to the Han army, so that Emperor Sui had to choose to make concessions.

"It's time to go back."

It is also time to leave here, Cao Feng, who has never forgotten the business, stood up.

"King of Han."

Xiao Meiniang hesitated for a while, but in the end, she took the initiative to groom the King of Han.

She didn't think about doing this at first, but she could gain the trust of Hanwang first.Then, next time she tries to procrastinate, maybe she will succeed.

"very good."

Cao Feng won't care what this stunner is thinking, anyway, he must learn about tea art

"That's how it should be done."

Therefore, Xiao Meiniang was allowed to tidy up her appearance, and the whole process was cautious.

"No wonder the emperor of the Sui Dynasty loves Xiao Meiniang alone, and it belongs to me."

Cao Feng, who enjoyed such a level of service, let this stunning man tidy up his sleeves.

In these matters, Xiao Meiniang is very considerate, and her words and deeds have the demeanor of a queen.

Coupled with his outstanding looks, and his intelligence without panic, it was normal for him to be favored by Emperor Sui before.

Of course, the past was the past, and the present is the present.

"Good rest, you are too tired to make tea this time."

After tidying up his appearance, Cao Feng said deliberately when he pushed open the door.

The tiredness on the brows of the stunning beauty can't be hidden at all, but there is no lack of other meanings.

"Ah."

Xiao Meiniang lowered her head, not wanting the King of Han to discover her embarrassment at this time.

"tread."

After saying this, Cao Feng walked out of the hall.

How should I put it, he has really become a Cao thief, and he can't go back to his simple life.

"Whoo!"

Xiao Meiniang relaxed her whole body, staring blankly at King Han leaving, wondering what else she was thinking.

"Yes, this batch is needed..."

At this time, Changsun Wuji and Xu Shiji were in charge of collecting raw materials.

The manufacture of cotton armor or warships requires high-quality wood and cotton, but the Han army does not have many raw materials in stock.

Therefore, the choice is to trade with merchants, so that materials can be collected quickly.

Then deliver the materials to the artisan, and the warship and cotton armor can be made immediately.

In addition, it is necessary to purchase a large amount of alcohol, which is coordinated by middle and low-level officials. In many local yamen, merchants can be seen in contact with officials.

"Get out, I don't like this. If you want to mess around, I will sue you for bribing the officials!" A young man yelled at a skinny businessman.

This person is Wei Zheng, one of the members of the Lingyan Pavilion of later generations, who came to work under the Han army through normal channels.

This time, he was responsible for the statistics of drinks. In order to make the Han army charge more of their goods, some vendors wanted to use money to open up relationships.

"You don't want money?"

The businessman who was driven away was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, this method was often used in the past to open up relationships for myself.

"roll."

Wei Zheng glared angrily, and directly reprimanded him.

"Okay, my lord, please calm down."

Where would the businessman say anything more, he left in embarrassment.

Also outside the yamen, on the other side are Wei Zheng's colleagues.

"Master Ma, a small meaning is not a respect, what about the entrusted matter?"

— A wine merchant smiled obsequiously, and took out a bulging money bag from the wide-sleeved robe.The so-called Mr. Ma is the colleague responsible for statistics with Wei Zheng.

"Ahem, no problem, it's all trivial."

Master Ma coughed a few times and looked around.

Then, he reached out to take the money bag.

Unexpectedly, this scene happened to be witnessed by Wei Zheng not far away.

"Ma Quiet, what are you doing?"

Wei Zheng pointed at the horse and was questioned loudly.

"Who? "

The question came so suddenly that the horse was shocked.

He raised his head and was about to scold him, but who would have expected to see Wei Zheng.

At that moment, he lost his temper and returned the money bag in his hand.

"And you, you are bribing officials, be careful I will arrest you!"

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zheng pointed at the businessman again.

Zhao...

The businessman himself was guilty of being a thief. After being told by the people in the yamen, he put away his money bag and walked away.

"Cough cough."

Ma was rubbed his nose and turned his back to Wei Zheng, not looking at him.

If you don't return the money bag, you will definitely be caught, and the trouble will only get worse.

As for not daring to attack, isn't it because of your own mistakes?

Wei Zheng is (cebg) a lunatic who reports on his colleagues all day long, has almost no friends in the yamen, and whoever is missed will cry.

"And you!"

Wei Zheng didn't stop, and said a few words to the rest of his colleagues who wanted to collect black money.

"Go, bad luck, I met Wei Zheng."

No one wanted to be targeted by the other party, and many officials left after cursing.

"Let's go."

Even those officials are gone, where would those businessmen stay? Everyone behaves with their tails between their legs.

"You people."

Seeing that all these signs were gone, Wei Zheng returned to his original position with satisfaction.

"It's better to do this."

However, this scene is an episode of the drink statistics.In order to save costs, some businessmen began to attack ordinary people.

They lowered the price of raw materials purchased in large quantities, and received low-priced raw materials from the common people.

In the end, they were sold to the Han army in large quantities at an ordinary price, and a lot of money could be earned from it! Here in Yanshi, a businessman with a big belly met a group of common people.

"Hey, this price is still going to be pushed down, how far has it been pushed down?"

The first commoner is skinny, in sharp contrast to the businessman.

"Yeah, these are all cotton grown by us."

"It's also the wood we worked so hard to cut."

"It's such a cheap sale, so successful?"

There are countless sounds like this.

"Nonsense, this is wine, how can there be such a low price?"

Inside, some wine-making commoners were even more angry.

The prices of alcoholic beverages are suppressed the most, and merchants can earn a lot of price difference from them.

"That's the price, can you sell it?"

The businessman said contemptuously.

"No, this price is too low, I want the previous price."

"Yes, that's right!"

"You are so inhuman, you are simply a profiteer!"

The people nearby can be described as excited.

"It's fine if you don't sell it. I can buy it from other places. At this price, there are many people who are willing to sell it."

The businessman snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, the leading people suddenly stopped the businessman.

"We sell."

After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said this.

There is no way not to sell it, and it will rot here, especially the people who sell cotton and wood, they don't know how to preserve it for a long time.

"Sell!"

The people who brewed wine could only grit their teeth and say.
