Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1139

[Chapter 764]

Chapter 764 It is difficult to pay New Year’s greetings

Many people came to the Lotus Garden for the New Year’s money.

There are civil servants and military officers, and there are official wives, all of which are not of low rank. Officials who are too small are not allowed to come. They are replaced by ordinary people. It is like a lottery. People apply first, and which one is selected in the end.

However, businessmen with more than 10,000 fortune were not allowed to enter, and they were deliberately suppressed to let the businessmen know that money alone is not enough, and that the affairs of this world are not completely determined by money.

There are also parents and teachers of heaven and earth, and there are ethics and morals to abide by. Don’t expect to use money to override the personality of others, and don’t think about interfering with politics.

The people who came to Furong Garden for the same year were very disciplined, and no one complained when they were arranged far away from the emperor. The safety of the emperor was very important. What if someone was assassinated.

When Zhang and Wang’s team arrived, they had already started to eat dumplings. It was a little late, and the road was not easy to walk.

Li Longji only ate two dumplings symbolically, and he clinks glasses with people to drink. He drinks red wine mixed with juice, not dry red. If he drinks dry red, Li Longji is reluctant to mix it with other things. Better not drink dry red.

The officials also ate two dumplings symbolically, and they didn’t eat much vegetables, because they were afraid that they would feel uncomfortable in their stomachs and vomit or not to vomit at that time.

The person who drank the most was Wang Xun, the minister of the household. The Zhang and Wang families had already cut off the welfare of the family for a year. If their daughter-in-law hadn’t been pregnant, they wouldn’t even eat the birds in the northeast.

In front of the emperor, I finally gave something during the Chinese New Year, but it was far inferior to that of other ministers, and there was not much spare money in the family. It was all invested in the group that cooperated with the Ministry of Industry, and it is still unprofitable. .

Wang Yan admits that he has to admire Zhang Xiaobao for this point. The calculation is very good, and there is no fraud in the accounts. The operation of the group will always give people the feeling of being healthy and upward, and the future development prospects are very broad, but it is only the amount of income and expenditure. will maintain a balance.

Just like playing chess, if the level is high enough, it is very easy to want to lose and win, but if you want to end every game in a draw, it is difficult.

However, Zhang Xiaobao did it under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes, and could not pick out a single fault. Every time the group had a new transaction or cooperation, it was the moment when the group’s funds seemed to be exhausted.

Then someone proposed a new solution, waiting for him and others to sign and agree. If you don’t want to sign, you can hold a meeting to discuss other solutions together.

My group discussed it, and

finally found that if we didn’t follow the new method, the group would go bankrupt, so we signed, and the result of the signing was to enter the next crisis and continue to be trapped.

This is Zhang Xiaobao’s terrifying performance, everything is on the bright side, let you watch the operation, when you are given hope, you can’t make a profit, when you are desperate, you find that you haven’t lost money, and you can see what other people usually do. other things, and found that people did not spend much thought on this matter.

Just like playing, he gave himself up to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who had been dealing with finance for many years. No wonder the businessmen of Datang were so afraid of him.

Since there are usually no benefits, then try to eat and drink from him. The wine at the moment is made from grapes obtained four years ago in the northwest. It is said that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are the most satisfied after tasting it, and the taste is pure.

Drink, one more sip will make one more sip cheaper.

Under the domination of such thoughts, Wang Yan was dizzy, and he still kept drinking. He had already drank one and a half of the 600ml bottled wine.

When the Zhang Wang family came to Furong Garden, the people of the whole Furong Garden were excited and cheered one after another. Wang Yan tried his best to make his expression darker, but because he drank too much, his face flushed red. Yes, there is still such a spirit stimulated by alcohol.

Due to their status, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were unwilling to be too public in front of others, so they took a detour from the side to Li Longji’s place.

When I meet the official seat, I only bend down slightly and hand in hand for New Year’s greetings. Everyone is an official, and Xiaobei and other talents will not kowtow, and the officials can’t get too much New Year’s money.

Along the way, the officials smiled with them. Don’t look at Xiaobei’s group of children who are not very old. I really offended them. I turned around to check people. .

“Wang Shangshu is a good New Year, eh

? Wang Shangshu, you drink too much? You also drink bottled wine, drink less. Alcoholism is not good for your health.”

Looking at the wine bottle on the table, he looked at the expression on his face, and persuaded kindly that last year, my brother was scheming enough with others. It’s New Year’s Day, and it’s a festive occasion.

Wang Yan also returned the salute, feeling very awkward. The other party is obviously a child. Although he is much smarter than ordinary children of the same age, a child is a child. Even a child prodigy such as Xiaoyuan, who has never forgotten it, looks uncomfortable. Children should not be with adults. higher.

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Wang Hao said retaliatory: “It’s okay, the drinks today are very good, especially the wine brewed by your family four years ago. It was a pleasure to drink.”

“Ah?” Xiaobei was stunned and puzzled He asked: “That’s the case, why didn’t Mr. Wang take it home and drink it slowly, all the items for the banquet in Furong Garden today are all provided by my family, the bottled wine is divided into two bottles for each person, and there are officials above the fifth rank. It is for you to take home. I

drink it.

I drank the wine brewed in the previous year at the banquet. It was in barrels. I didn’t drink any difference between the two wines. It’s just that my brother and sister said that the wine was good four years ago. One person only has two bottles. You are drinking so much now. , what else do you take home? You won’t give your family a taste?”

After speaking, Xiaobei sighed, shook his head and continued to walk up. Above is where Zhongshuling is, and after Zhongshuling is Li Longji.

Wang Yan watched Xiaobei and the others talking to the prime minister again. He had already woken up more than half of the time. He looked at Jiang Cen, the official of the Sinong Temple next to him, and asked, “Can I take this wine home?”

“Yes. “Jiang Cen nodded, his grade is not high, if it weren’t for the fact that Sinong Temple has become more and more important in recent years, he would not be able to stand by Wang Yan’s hand.

“This wine has two bottles for one person. I don’t know when I will meet the same good year next time and brew a good wine, so it is very precious. Xiaguan is reluctant and wants to keep it, but Xiaguan admires Mr. Wang’s forthrightness. And the atmosphere.”

“…” Wang Hao’s forehead was clearly sweating, and he looked at the half bottle of wine he had drank, and asked, “I wonder how long it will last after opening the bottle?

” For a long time, if it is cold today, it can be stored for three or five days. After all, the air is in, and the light bulb factory has equipment to extract air. If you take it out, you can save it for a longer period of time. Xiaguan has never studied it. Many crops are stored in vacuum. It

shouldn’t be bad.”

Jiang Cen didn’t understand what Wang Yan meant, but still gave an answer he could think of.

“Hehe, hehe, so that’s the case, oh, I’m already dizzy after drinking, why don’t I give you the remaining half bottle. When you want to open the bottle, you can invite me to drink, how about it?” Wang Yan thought of one. Method.

“Sir Wang is joking, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com today is in office, and I can’t drink anymore. I’m sorry, sorry.” Jiang Cen now knows what happened to Wang Yan, and he doesn’t want to divide the wine in the future. Go out, put this wine well, the taste will get better and better, and the opened bottle of wine will be worthless.

Wang Yan couldn’t force it, so he sat back down in frustration and looked at the rest of the wine. He didn’t drink it, and he didn’t drink it.

Xiaobei ignored what Wang Yan was thinking. At this time, she had come under Li Longji’s seat, knelt there with a plop, and then knocked her head down three times in a row, shouting: “Uncle Emperor, Xiaobei gives You are greeting the New Year, I wish the Tang Dynasty a new year and a new year for the emperor’s uncle.”

Xiaoyuan and others also knelt down and kowtowed. Everyone has auspicious words, different from each other. Look at Li Longji.

Li Longji felt a lot of pressure at the time. This year’s New Year’s money is not easy to handle. Xiaobei and the others made money a little late this year, but they also have more than 4 million yuan, catching up with the financial income of the Tang Dynasty in the early Kaiyuan period. Kowtow to pay New Year’s greetings, how much money do you have to give to meet someone’s identity.

So Li Longji looked at Zhang Xiaobao who had just turned from behind, which meant to ask how much money I had now.
