Many people came to Furong Garden.
There are civil officers and military officers, and there are madams who are not inferior in rank. Officials who are too small will not let them come. Instead, they are replaced by ordinary people. Like a lottery, let people apply first, and finally choose which one is the one.
However, businessmen with a wealth of more than ten thousand are not allowed to come in, deliberately suppressing them, letting the businessmen know that just having money is not enough, things in this world are not completely determined by money.
There are also masters of heaven and earth, and ethics to abide by. Don't expect to take money above the personality of others, let alone interfere with politics.
The people who came to Furong Garden at the same time were very disciplined, and no one complained when they were arranged far away from the emperor. The safety of the emperor is very important. What if someone is assassinated.
When the two teams of Zhang and Wang arrived, they had already started to eat dumplings. It was a little late and it was difficult to walk on the road.
Li Longji just ate two dumplings symbolically, and he kept clinking with people for drinking, drinking red wine mixed with juice, not dry red. If he drank dry red, Li Longji would not bear to add other things in it, the taste would be too great. It is better not to drink dry red.
Officials also symbolically ate two dumplings and did not eat much food. They were afraid that the stomach would feel uncomfortable after eating too much. It would be a problem whether they would vomit or not.
The person who drank the most was Wang Zhao, Shangshu of Hubu. The family of Zhang and Wang had been discontinued from the family for a year. If it weren't for the daughter-in-law who was pregnant, they would not 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 less than other ministers. There was not much spare money at home. It was all invested in the group cooperating with the Ministry of Industry, and it is still unprofitable. .
Wang Zhu admits that he has to admire Zhang Xiaobao for this. The calculations are so good. There is no fraud in the accounts. The operation of the group always feels healthy and upward. The future development prospects are very broad, but it is the amount of revenue and expenditure. A balance will be maintained.
Just like playing chess, if the level is high enough, wanting to lose and wanting to win is very simple, if you want every game to end in a tie, it can be difficult.
However, Zhang Xiaobao did it. He did it under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, and he couldn't fault it. Every time the group had a new business or cooperation, it was the moment when the group's funds were exhausted.
Then someone came up with a new solution and waited for them and others to sign and agree. If they are unwilling to sign, they can hold a meeting to discuss other solutions together.
After discussing with a group of people, they finally found that if they did not follow the new method, the group would go bankrupt, so they signed, and the result of the signing was to enter the next crisis and continue to be locked up.
This is Zhang Xiaobao’s horrible thing. Everything is on the bright side, allowing you to watch the operation. When you give you hope, you can’t make a profit. When you are desperate, you find that you haven’t lost money, and you can see what others do. For other things, I found that people didn’t spend much time on this matter.
Just like playing, he pitted himself, who had been dealing with finances for many years, to Shangshu, no wonder the merchants of Datang were so afraid of him.
Since the usual benefits are not available, I will try to eat and drink from him. The current wine is made from the grapes obtained four years ago in the northwest. It is said that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are the most satisfied after tasting them, and the taste is pure.
Drink, one more sip will take advantage of one more sip.
Under the control of such thoughts, Wang Zhu drank suddenly, and still kept drinking. He had already drunk one and a half bottles of six hundred milliliters of bottled wine.
When the people from the Zhang family came to Furong Garden, the people in the entire Furong Garden became excited, cheers one after another, Wang Hui tried his best to make his expression darker, but because he drank too much, his face flushed. Yes, it also reveals the spirit of alcohol stimulation.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, because of their status, were unwilling to be too ostentatious in front of others, and went straight from the side to go to Li Longji's place, while Xiaobei and his party raised their heads and had to walk in the middle of the banquet.
When meeting an official seat, I just bend down a little and bow my hand to celebrate the New Year. Everyone is an official, and Xiaobei and other talents will not kowtow to others, and the officials can't give much money for the new year.
Along the way, the officials were accompanied by a smile. Don’t look at the young people of Xiaobei. They were really offended. They looked back and checked the people. Basically, the officials who can sit in this position are not clean. .
"Wang Shangshu is good for the New Year, eh? Wang Shangshu, have you drunk too much? You still drink bottled wine. Drink less. Alcohol is bad for your health."
Xiaobei led the way to Wang Zhu, saw the wine bottle next to his little couple, and then looked at the look on his face, kindly persuaded that last year, my brother calculated that they were not enough. , Don’t bother for the time being, otherwise it would seem too petty.
Wang Hui also responded, feeling very awkward. The other party is obviously a child. Although he is much smarter than ordinary children of the same age, the child is a child. Even if the child prodigy who has been waiting for Xiaoyuan is uncomfortable to look at, children should not be with adults. Compete.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Wang Zhao said vindictively: "It's okay. Today's wine is very good, especially the wine that your house made four years ago. You drink smoothly."
"Huh?" Xiaobei was taken aback, and then asked in a puzzled way: "In that case, why didn't Lord Wang take it home and drink it slowly? All the things for the Furongyuan banquet today are all provided by my family. The bottled wine is divided into two bottles for one person. There are officials of rank 5 and above, and they are for you to take home to drink.
At the banquet, the wine made the year before was drunk in barrels. I didn’t drink the two wines. There is no difference between the two wines. It’s just that the brother and sister said it was good four years ago. There are only two bottles for one person. Now you have drunk so much, go home. What else? Don't you give it to your family? "
After finishing talking, Beckham sighed, shook his head and continued to walk up. The above is where the Zhongshu Ling is. After Zhongshu Ling, it is Li Longji.
Wang Zhao watched Xiaobei and the others talk to the prime minister again. He had already woken up more than half of the time. He looked at the Sinong Temple official Jiang Cen next to him in amazement and asked, "Can this wine be taken home?"
"Yes." Jiang Cen nodded, his grade is not high, if it weren't for Sinong Temple to become more and more important in recent years, he would not be able to stand next to Wang Hui.
"This wine is two bottles for one person, and I don’t know when I will meet the same good year next time, and then make a good wine. It is very precious. The official reluctant to keep it, but the official admires Lord Wang’s boldness. And the atmosphere."
"..." Wang Zhu saw sweat on his forehead, and then looked at the half bottle of wine he had left, and asked, "I wonder how long will it last after opening the bottle?"
"This... doesn't seem to last long. If it’s cold today, it’s okay to keep it for three or five days. After all, the air comes in. The bulb factory has equipment to extract air. If you take it out, you can keep it for a longer period of time. I have studied that vacuum preservation of many crops should not be bad either."
Jiang Cen didn't understand what Wang Zhu meant, but he still gave an answer he could think of.
"Hehe, hehe, that's it, oh, I'm dizzy already after drinking it. Why don't you give the remaining half a bottle to you. When do you want to open the bottle, then invite me to drink, how about it?" Wang Zhao came up with one Method.
"Master Wang was joking. I can't drink the wine today. I can't drink it anymore. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Jiang Cen knew what was going on with Wang Chao now. He didn't want to divide the wine out in the future. The taste will get better and better, and the opened wine will be worthless.
Wang Zhao was not reluctant, and sat back in frustration, looking at the rest of the wine, neither was drinking nor was it not. He was very upset. He drank too eagerly just now and forgot to taste it.
Xiaobei ignored what Wang Zhu thought. At this time, she had already come under the Li Long pedestal. She knelt there with a plop, then knocked her head down three times in a row, shouting: "Uncle Emperor, Xiaobei give Happy New Year, I wish Datang a new year, and I wish the emperor uncle is still all right in the new year."
Xiao Yuan and the others also knelt down and kowtowed. Everyone has auspicious words that are different. After the kowtowing, all of them can't stand still, and look up at Li Longji.
Li Longji felt a lot of pressure at the moment. This year's New Year's Eve money is not easy to handle. Xiaobei and the others are making money late this year, but they also have more than 4 million yuan, catching up with the financial income of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of the Kaiyuan period. This wealth is for your elders. Kowtowing my head for the New Year, how much money I have to give to meet the identity of others.
So Li Longji looked at Zhang Xiaobao, who had just turned from behind, and that meant asking me how much money I have now.
