My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 130

[Chapter 130 Chapter 130 The Third Prince of Southern Qi]

had a very pleasant meal because of the strong wine.

“My dear nephew, since this device is easy to use and there are still five or six empty rooms at home, let’s make more of these devices tomorrow and make a strong bar together!”

Jing Zhe nodded, this was exactly what he was thinking.

“My dear nephew, according to your estimate, how much liquor can be made in a day?”

Jing Zhe thought for a while and said, “Forty or fifty jars from morning to night should be about the same.”

“Forty or fifty jars…”

Zhang Xuexian muttered two words. sentence, a little disappointed.

He has lost thousands of taels of silver now. If he only has forty or fifty jars of strong wine a day, when will he be able to make up for the loss? Not to mention making money.

Jing Zhe saw his expression and said with a smile: “I heard that a bowl of ice wine in Jingzhou City can be sold for five hundred yuan?”

Zhang Xuexian nodded.

“Ice wine is not the only one in Jingzhou that can sell it at such a high price, but the price of spirits that can only be drunk by barbarians is more than this, right?”

Zhang Xuexian’s eyes lit up and he immediately understood.

Comparing the price of ice wine, it is not an exaggeration to say that a bowl of strong wine can be sold for one tael or even more. Wouldn’t a jar of strong wine be sold for four or five taels?

He could earn three to four hundred taels of silver a day. Thinking of this, Zhang Xuexian couldn’t restrain his excitement. “In that case, let’s start making wine tomorrow, and I’ll go out and sell it the day after tomorrow!”

Jing Zhe looked at him and shook his head. “I’m not in a hurry to sell this liquor.”

“Ain’t in a hurry to sell it?”

Zhang Xuexian almost said “I’m in a hurry”.

“Uncle, please be patient. The Crown Prince of Jin obviously intends to target the Zhang family. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us from outside. If we let him know first that we can make strong liquor and use some tricks behind our back, this strong liquor will still be better.” How to sell it?”

Zhang Xuexian nodded solemnly, but at the same time he was a little unwilling: “Then what should we do?”

“If uncle can trust me, this matter will be taken care of by me!”

Zhang Xuexian also made the liquor. There was no reason not to trust him, so he nodded frequently.

After eating, Jing Zhe and Hanhan slipped out in the name of “inspecting the market” and disappeared into the Jingzhou night.

…

The words are divided into two parts.

When Jing Zhe arrived at Zhang Xiaoyu’s home, a heated debate was going on in the Anguo court.

In the Jinluan Hall, the morning dynasty, which usually should have ended as early as 6 o’clock in the morning, has been delayed for several hours.

Today, Emperor An, the emperor of An Guo, is sitting on the dragon throne, with a gloomy and melancholy look on his face. There is a lot of noise in the court hall, and the civil and military officials are quarreling over something.

“Your Majesty, I believe that the intention of the three princes of the Southern Qi Dynasty to come to Jingzhou this time is not just for exchanges. They want to use the name of exchanges to severely dampen the spirit of our Anguo literati and military generals. Their intentions are to be punished!”

A young official held the cup in his hands !

Memorial, stepped forward and said.

The noisy voices in the court paused, and everyone looked at the young censor like a fool. Everyone knew the intention of the third prince of Southern Qi and his envoys to come to Jingzhou. Is there any need for you to pretend like this?

Do you still want to be a censor with this kind of brain?

Go home and farm!

“Your Majesty, I think this method of making peace is advisable! The Southern Qi Dynasty now has a strong military. Among the four countries surrounding our Anguo, their strength is undoubtedly the strongest. This can be seen from the recent battle between them and the Yue State on the border. !”

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court were silent. The development of Southern Qi in recent years is obvious to all, especially the combat effectiveness of the army, which is probably not as good as the two Anguo.

After hearing this, everyone was even more frightened. If the country of Yue was replaced by the country of An, could they win?

The old man who spoke was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction. He stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: “The eldest prince of Southern Qi died in infancy, the second prince was frail and sick, and only the third prince was favored by the emperor of Southern Qi.

I heard that the third prince of Southern Qi, Wen Taowu,

He

is proficient in all kinds of strategies. He is more accomplished in poetry. When he was weak, he had no opponent in Southern Qi. In recent years, he has been studying the art of war. He has been in charge of Southern Qi’s foreign campaigns, so he can win every battle!”

After a moment, he continued: “Furthermore, I heard that the third prince is handsome and well-groomed. If the princess really marries him, it would be a good thing…”

Before he could say “thing”, he was rude to someone next to him. interrupted——

“Bai, are you the lobbyist of the third prince of Southern Qi? If he is so good, will you marry your girl? Oops, I forgot, you old bird doesn’t even have a child I can’t give birth!”

Unexpectedly, the simple dispute in the court turned into a personal attack in an instant. The old man with gray beard pointed at the rough man who spoke with a trembling finger, and was so angry that he couldn’t speak!

“Your Majesty!”

He thought for a while and realized that he really had nothing to say to such a reckless man in the wilderness, so he could only ask Emperor An for help.

“Bai Aiqing, please step back first…”

The long-bearded old man stopped talking. He glanced at the man who was quarreling with him, said “hum” coldly, and stepped back.

“Zhu Aiqing, what suggestions do you have?”

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the crowd, it was the current Prime Minister Zhu Tong, he bowed his hands and talked casually.

“Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, looking at the affairs of all countries, no country has achieved prosperity through marriage. How long can a marriage ease state affairs? One year? Two years? What about eight or ten years later? A marriage is just a way. , instead of the purpose, it is just a short period of peace! I hope your Majesty will think again!”

“I hope your Majesty will think twice!”

Zhu Tong was of high status, and as soon as he finished speaking, he got the response from nearly half of the people in the court.

“Not bad!”

An Di seemed to be waiting for this answer, and glanced at Zhu Tong, his eyes full of relief.

The old man surnamed Bai before was called Bai Qingyuan, and he was the Taifu of Anguo. He stood up again at this time: “Your Majesty, I wish that I understand what Prime Minister said, but have you ever thought about it, if you don’t get married, even the short-term peace will be lost?” None!”

An Di frowned, a little displeased, but more of a helpless and self-blaming person.

That was his most beloved only daughter!

Although he is a father, he is also the monarch of a country. He cannot only think about himself, but also thinks about the world!

As a father, he has to trade his daughter’s happiness for the people’s peace and contentment. No one can understand his pain.

Seeing Emperor An’s hesitation, Bai Qingyuan came out again and said, “Your Majesty, Southern Qi is now very strong. After the war with Yue, it is recharging its energy and has a strong tendency to go north. There is no need to hesitate!”

“I understand!”

Emperor An looked at him. At one glance, there was some sullenness in his eyes. Bai Qingyuan saw it, but he didn’t have much fear.

“That’s it for today’s morning court. We’ve been here for so long. All of you must be tired. Go back and rest!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty, as for the marriage…”

Bai Qingyuan was still unwilling to give in, but I saw Emperor An standing up and walking towards the inner hall, waving his hands as he walked.

“I still need to discuss this matter with Mo Chen.”

“…”
