MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-Chapter 143 brush prestige

   Chapter 143 Reputation

Among the six ministries, except for the two ministries of the Ministry of Rites, the other four were handed over to the four princes who stayed in Beijing, but the four princes were still young. However, at the age of twenty-seven or eight, the youngest seventh prince, Ji Wen, is only twenty-three years old this year.

   These princes, on the surface, are six official books, but in fact they are just names, and they learn how to manage government in each department.

   That is to say, the four of them are just "honorary ministers".

   Take the four or seven princes as an example. Although they are ministers, they do not have to go to work every day. The seventh prince, Ji Wen, even has time to run to Li Xin's house often.

That is to say, although the fourth prince, Ji Huan, controls the Ministry of War, he cannot decide everything about the Ministry of War. If the spirits produced by the Wei Wangfu are easy to use, there is no reason for the Ministry of War not to purchase it. This is something that His Royal Highness the King of Qi cannot stop. of.

  When it was getting dark, the seventh prince left Li Xin to eat in the mansion. After Li Xin hesitated, he nodded.

Originally, the relationship between the two of them was to be avoided. After all, Li Xin was working in Yulinwei, but looking at the current situation, it is estimated that he could not hide it. Even the Fourth Prince knew about it. Li Xin is going to the Wei Palace.

  Since the fourth prince knows, there is no reason for the emperor of Chengde not to know.

   In fact, there is nothing great about standing in the public queue. The big deal is that Li Xin will not work in Yulinwei in the future.

  In the backyard of Prince Wei's mansion, there was a low table, with a few side dishes and a pot of sake on the low table.

   The reason why we didn't use the new wine we made today is because that wine is too strong, and we definitely can't drink it for the time being. People like Li Xin who are used to drinking white wine can't stand it either.

   Two people sit across the table.

Li Xin picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine for the seventh prince, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I can't help you in the courtroom. !"

   After all, the seventh prince is not as aware of the importance of this spirit as Li Xin. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

   Li Xin said solemnly: "This is a good political capital!"

"This kind of high-purity wine can at least reduce the death rate of wounded soldiers by more than half. Once every army in the Great Jin becomes dependent on this kind of military supplies, His Highness can produce certain words in the military without doing anything. right!"

   The seventh prince turned serious and said softly: "As Brother Xin said, this kind of spirits really have such a miraculous effect, and the father will not let us continue to specialize in it."

  Imperial power is strongly exclusive. Once this kind of spirit enters the military and is proven to have miraculous effects, the emperor of Chengde will definitely find a way to take this thing into his own hands, which is almost inevitable.

   Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

   "Your Highness, this is what I want to say!"

   "Your Highness, this transaction with the court must be done, but after it is done, you must not think about making money. The spirits we give to the court will be given to them at the cost, or even at a loss!"

  Li Xin whispered: "When these spirits are proven to be really useful, Your Majesty will probably think about it. At that time, His Highness will take the initiative to offer this recipe for steaming wine without waiting for His Majesty to speak!"

   His Royal Highness King Wei was shocked, and he turned to look at the young man in front of him.

Li Xin's expression was firm: "Your Highness, without that position, all the interests in front of you are fleeting, and now you must sell it well in front of Your Majesty. In the future, when you sit in that position, no matter what you pay, you will still be yours!"

  The Seventh Prince lowered his head and took a sip of wine, then let out a slow sigh of relief: "I can understand what Brother said, the spirits can only be given to the imperial court at the capital price, so there is no need to give them a loss..."

   Ji Wen smiled wryly at Li Xin: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that Prince Wei's mansion has not been very well-off these past few years..."

This Prince Wei is indeed not a stingy person. This can be seen from the time when he attracted Li Xin, but at this time, Prince Wei's mansion does not have much money. Once this business is completed, it will welcome him. If you place an order for a quantity, even if a jar of wine loses a little bit, it will add up to a huge number!

   Lee Shin gave Ji Wen a deep look.

"Your Highness, you also know that this transaction will eventually be taken over by Your Majesty. When he takes over, he will find out that the price we paid to the court is at a loss, and Your Majesty will realize that Your Highness is your son. loyalty and filial piety.”

   Li Xin looked solemn: "His Royal Highness, Saint Dependents can't be bought with a lot of money. As for this loss, I'm sure to make up for it in private business."

   "This is a major event related to that position. Your Highness must not cover your eyes because of the small profit in front of you!"

   Hearing this, Ji Wen completely understood what Li Xin's purpose was.

  From the very beginning, this young man was not only using this spirit to make money, but also using this spirit to make a future for the Wei Wangfu!

   Ji Wen stood up, bent slightly towards Li Xin, and said with a solemn expression, "Brother Xin is really a countryman!"

Li Xin got up and returned the salute, smiled softly, "Your Highness doesn't have to be so polite, now I am seeking for Your Highness, but for myself, there is still a giant in the southern border watching me. Nothing about this behemoth."

  The seventh prince said solemnly: "Brother Xin, rest assured, if I get what I want in the future, I will definitely let Brother Xin get what I want too!"

   Li Xin raised his head and glanced at Ji Wen.

   "Is your Highness's statement true?"

  The King of Wei looked serious.

   "Nature is true."

   Li Xin smiled inexplicably.

Li Xin can now see the character of this prince. The seventh prince, Ji Wen, has some sincerity towards himself, and is willing to follow his own plans, but he is more or less selfish. of.

  It is not surprising that people have selfishness, and Li Xin also has his own selfishness. For now, Li Xin can accept the character of the seventh prince.

   A good pair of ruler and minister will never be a relationship of friends, but a relationship of mutual use.

   Li Xin said with a smile: "I believe in Your Highness, since this is the case, His Highness's workshop will be opened as soon as possible. After the first batch of spirits is produced, I will help His Highness sell this batch of spirits."

   Ji Wen chuckled: "This wine hasn't been named yet. Brother Xin, give it a name?"

   Li Xin said softly, "How about calling it King Wei Wine?"

   This kind of wine will be introduced into the army sooner or later. At this time, it is very helpful to label him as the seventh prince, which is very helpful to the prestige of the Wei Palace.

  The Seventh Prince patted his thigh and laughed loudly: "Okay, it's called Wei Wangjiu!"

   He laughed cheerfully: "I used to be in the capital, and I just wanted to try to grab it with trepidation. Now that I have Brother Xin, I feel that I have found my own way!"

   Li Xin poured him a glass of wine and said lightly, "I have something to tell His Highness."

   "What's the matter?"

   Li Xin said softly, "When I came to His Highness today during the day, His Royal Highness Qi's sedan chair stopped me, saying that he wanted me to find time to go to Qi's palace and visit him."

   Ji Wen's complexion changed slightly.

  Li Xin just looked at him so quietly.

   Push a book, "Ming Ting" by Mr. Guan Sheng, author of the authoritative Ming Dynasty, and the quality assurance of the fifth-level old author. It is now on the shelves. If you are interested, you can take a look!

   Another thing is to explain about distilled wine. The process of distilled wine is my own Baidu. The specific process is definitely not written too clearly. Just take a look at it, don't take it seriously...
