The Head of Eighteen Bachelors

Li Yu was followed by two eunuchs and sent back to the side yard where the generals gathered. Li Yu was not resistant. Although he was a little restrained, it was better than facing some children. Li Yu came to the middle of the main hall again;

"Report to Your Majesty. I have already gone to pay homage to the Empress. The Empress let me return, saying that if His Majesty asks me for something, it would be easier to answer carefully so that it would not delay His Majesty's major affairs."

"I understand, go back and sit down. The food is ready and you'll have to be served. You can eat here."

"yes."

Not long after Li Yu sat down, the servants from the Prime Minister's Mansion began to enter one after another, and all kinds of delicious dishes were served on the table. Li Yu was not polite, and took a large piece of mutton torn off by Yuchi Gong and ate the meat in big mouthfuls.

After everyone in the hall had eaten, Li Shimin, who was in charge, picked up the wine lord and spoke;

"Brothers, it's not easy to get together today. Come on, let's drink this cup first, and then talk about family matters."

"Please, your Majesty."

"Respect your Majesty."

"I respect your Majesty..."

The toasts filled the entire hall. Regardless of the civil and military officials, everyone finished the two taels of liquor in the wine master in one breath, and the whole hall was full of doubts;

"Huh? Today, what Du Pushe had eaten last year is very different?"

In front of a table on the east side of the hall, there was an old man in his sixties or seventies who stroked his gray beard and pondered;

"That's true, I feel the same way. Last year, the liquor provided by Li's Dalang was rare in the world, but I don't expect that today's product is even more mellow and rich. The wine enters the belly, and there is still a fragrance in my mouth. It's much better than those last year. It's really awesome!"

Cheng Yaojin in front of a table next door was careless and loud;

"Yu Secret Secretary, I don't have the knowledge you have. I talk about it one by one, but I also know that today's wine is the best among the best. This wine is barely suitable for me, Lao Cheng's heroic identity..."

Yu Shinan is old, but she is in good health. She just chewed a bite of pork belly and was swallowing it. When she heard Cheng Yaojin's words, she couldn't swallow it and choked.

Fortunately, I was in good health and kept coughing in time. Naturally, there were civil servants sitting at the same table next to me. The eighteen bachelors came forward to help slap their backs, and they were very busy.

Niu Xiu next to Li Yu was immediately dissatisfied when he heard Cheng Yaojin's words, so he stood up and held a wine glass;

"Cheng Pifu, don't be arrogant. You are really a toad, arrogant and ignorant. You dare to claim to be a hero, I'm a pussy...

You are just a shameless and slutty guy. If anyone doesn’t know, your Majesty is here today, and you can’t let go of your presumptuousness.

Just your shameless look, don’t ruin the word hero. Brothers, do you think so? Hahahahahahaha..."

This time, Yuchi Gong was standing on the same line as Niu Xiu, and he also stood up with the wine master. His body like an iron tower, his face like a black pot, and his foam was flying in excitement;

"You are the one who kills you, Your Majesty, and you dare to say that you are a hero. If you really don't know your shame, your lord is the real hero, and a great hero.

You're just a bullshit. That year, Your Majesty sent me to rob the food road. You stole three thousand men and robbed dozens of carts of food and grass and robbed me of my first achievements. I haven't settled the score with you yet, and I dare to call him a hero, bah..."

The three fools got into the fight again today, and two of them actually joined forces to run Cheng Yaojin, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Cheng Yaojin swallowed a big mouth of roasted lamb and replied slowly;

"Why, why can't I be called a hero? Your Majesty is a great hero. I'm a hero with Your Majesty. I'm also a hero, but I'm not as great as Your Majesty. But the word "Hero" doesn't run away..."

Niu Jinda looked at Cheng Yaojin with a disdainful look on his face and said;

"A flattery, Your Majesty, don't pay attention to him. He is just a fool. He can't even flatter. Come on Your Majesty, I'll give you a cup. Your Majesty can do whatever you want. I'll finish it in one breath. Your Majesty invites you."

Just as Yu Shinan stopped coughing, he heard Niu Hanzi say that Cheng Yaojin was a fool. Before he could laugh a few times, he started coughing again.

More than 20 civil servants, seeing Niu Jinda's disdain for Cheng Yaojin, laughed at Cheng Yaojin for being stupid, and couldn't help laughing. Several of them laughed so hard that they wiped their tears.

Li Shimin watched the past and followed his brothers to conquer the world together again, and was still in a good mood as before, grinding his teeth and grinding his mouth.

He smiled and picked up the wine glass, respected Niu Jinda, Yuchi Gong for a while, and ate the things in the glass in one bite.

Du Ruhui took a few more bites alone, tasted them carefully before speaking;

"My nephew, I don't know how much of this kind of wine can be found today. It may be as productive as before, and it is brewed more?"

When Li Shimin heard Du Ruhui's question, he immediately became energetic and turned his head to stare at Li Yu.

Li Yu was holding a lamb leg in his hand and was eating meat in a big mouthful. When he heard the prime minister's inquiry, he quickly put down the lamb and answered;

"Regarding my uncle, the wine that last year was worth two pounds, and this kind of wine could produce one pound for every two pounds."

The civil and military officials in the hall also knew that the emperor said that if he would not discuss state affairs today, it would be a talk. So he was staring at the Li family's Dalang's liquor deal again. Therefore, everyone stopped talking and waited for the two prime ministers to talk about the serious matters.

Du Ruhui nodded and stopped talking, and didn't know what he was thinking. Li Shimin immediately went to see Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling nodded to the emperor and asked Li Yu;

"I don't know how much the price of this kind of liquor is. Chang'an City has been circulating recently. The Ministry of Revenue this year only has 7,000 yuan per dot. I have been worried since I heard about it. Will the number of 7,000 yuan be too small?

Before, you made a noise and sold 7,000 yuan. I thought you knew it, but you had to consider His Majesty's concession.

Now that the court is empty, I will not hide it from you. I am hungry everywhere and short of silver, money and silk everywhere. I can't help but say that half of the people in this liquor are still in the court.

If the wines of this kind are still sold today, it may not work. First, it is impossible to tell the difference. Moreover, how much money the court has lost due to this? What are the thoughts of nephew? Why should I say it to you today and ask us old guys to listen to the details?"

Li Shimin sat on the top and ate meat and vegetables casually, as if he had not heard a few people talking. He had a high opinion of Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, and he also agreed with their words.

It’s no absurd that the prime minister was the two servants who even thought about the major affairs of the court even when they were having a meal. They were really a model for planning their own affairs in their positions and loyal ministers…

"It's the order of my uncle. My nephew thinks the same as you think. With the previous liquor base, the people just want to taste some, and it's possible. So this time, my nephew is not going to sell 7,000 yuan for the new wine.

This time my nephew won't be polite. He plans to sell twenty cents per catty, which is specially provided to wealthy families, noble families, and merchants. If you think it is expensive, you can buy the previous spirits. If you want to highlight your identity or eat better ones, you will have to twenty cents."

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled so happily;

"Well, the price set by my nephew this time is almost exactly the same as what we old guys guess. It's not OK if it's too high. This twenty-trump card is just the best for the big players in the world. They can drink it happily all year round without hurting their muscles.

It's really good, not bad. I didn't expect that when you are young, you can be neither arrogant nor impatient, not greedy or anxious, and you can teach me."

Du Ruhui continued suddenly;

"When this kind of liquor is sold in the future, it cannot be sold all of it. It must be sold closely, resulting in a false impression that it will never be enough to sell.

Although there are not many twenty stakes, they are not many. Even if you are a wealthy family, you will have to consume hundreds of stakes for your relatives and friends once.

Such a great price, if the wine market is flooded, you can get it easily. Over time, those big players will inevitably be exhausted. Nephews must be investigated here."

Li Yu grew up and looked at Du Ruhui, and couldn't help but say something casually;

"Hunger Marketing? Uncle Du is really amazing. He is worthy of being the leader of the 18th bachelor's degree. My nephew admires it, admires it..."

“Hunger Marketing?”

“What hunger?”

Before Li Yu's words could be finished, the hall began to talk a lot, and Cheng Yaojin said to the big men next to him;

"You don't understand this. Hunger means that this kind of wine is not enough for them to enjoy. This is a new method of selling. My old Cheng is very good at it."

"Yohehe, I said Cheng Babi, you know a lot now. Then what's the point? Why don't people spend money to buy wine and not make people enjoy eating? What's the reason?"

A burly man next to Cheng Yaojin immediately responded;

"That's it, just like I'm going to buy something. I'll give you enough money, why don't you sell it to me..."

Cheng Yaojin was also asked, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only make a fuss about it;

"What, I just don't sell it to you anyway? I'm making money for His Majesty. What arrogance are you doing? Why are you so arrogant?"

"Hey, I said you are so rascal. No wonder Jinda said you are a shameless guy. As soon as I said this, you choked me on the south wall. If you have the ability, don't use Your Majesty to suppress me. You can tell me a trick to be considered as good as you!"

This place is quarrel, and Du Ruhui said while thinking carefully;

"Well, my nephew's words make sense, and those rich families who want to eat fine wine will always remain hungry and always be unable to eat.

If you manage carefully and buy and sell carefully, it is indeed the best way to play the role of the best. As for the word "sell", it is probably just about digestion and sales, right?"

Li Yu swallowed it hard and spitted. He was so impressed that he couldn't do it. Who said that this Tang Dynasty people were easy to fool?

People who are capable are everywhere, and no one dares to underestimate them. They say nothing, so they propose hunger marketing methods.

Du Ruhui is even more amazing. He guessed the meaning of a few words well. No wonder he was able to be the first of the 18th bachelor's degree. This is a real skill...

"You binge uncle, what my nephew said is what he said. He was guessed by his uncle and admired him for his great nephew!"

Li Shimin, who was sitting in the top, was eating food casually, and was not caring about the conversation between the two prime ministers and Li Yu, just like not seeing it.

But at this moment, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he picked up the wine sip of the strong wine in the glass.

All of us are living in the world of old people who have been fighting for half their lives, and they are all human spirits. It seems that the price we set this time is in line with His Majesty's appetite.
