No time left

At 3:00 a.m., at 9:36 a.m., Chang'an City, which had been silent all night, began to become lively again, with crowds of people and cars flowing.

There were caravans traveling between Hu people, grains and grains brought from all over the country, carriages purchased from silk shops, ceramics sellers, food delivery to restaurants, etc., and the people shuttled between the downtowns, and this world-famous city revived again.

The people gathered around the walls and looked at the signs posted on the walls, pointing at the entrance of the third alley from north to south, dozens of men, women, young and old were chattering, talking and talking.

"Hey, I said Li Lao San, don't you say you know the words? Let's show everyone what's written on it, and it will also show your ability."

The man named Li Laosan turned red and his words were a little unscrupulous;

"I said a few words to endure, but there are so many things on it, who can endure it?"

"Hey, you're a bragging guy after a long time. I think you have such a great ability!"

After hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter, which made Li Lao San hid and hid, and quietly walked out of the crowd. A middle-aged woman suddenly screamed;

"Look, isn't Master Zou coming out? He is a teacher who teaches in the Zheng family's private school, so he will definitely be able to read it."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the father-in-law walked up to him with a swaying swaying, and a man quickly saluted;

"I have met Mr. Zou, and I am very polite."

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it. Wang Qi quickly invites you. I will return the gift here."

"It's so that the Master learned that I had just gotten up and was about to go out to do things, and I found that there was a new notice posted by the alley. I don't know if it was posted by the court or which old man from the family was lost.

Everyone is guessing each other. Teacher, you are here. Please let me know and let me know and satisfy everyone's curiosity. I don't know if the Master has free time."

"Oh, this is not simple. I'll let you see it and tell everyone."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Master Zou is going to read the notice..."

"Get out of here quickly, don't delay things. I'll go to the shop to pay after hearing this!"

A group of people saw Mr. Zou walk to the wall and quickly make way. The man shook his head and said it again, and then explained to the anxious crowd;

"Don't worry, everyone, this is a notice issued by the Ministry of Revenue of the court, which talks about the sale of Wuliangye wine and the immortal drunkenness. Tomorrow, there will be an auction meeting in the largest warehouse in the east of the Warehouse, which is to decide how to deal with the sale rights of counties and counties in the world."

A middle-aged man in a reasonable dress in the crowd looked at the Master who was chanting the notice;

"Master Zou, this immortal is too expensive. Where can we afford to eat it? The Wuliangye wine is now 6,000 yuan per dou, but I can eat it once every once in a while.

Last night, a distinguished guest came to my house. I went out and spent a few hundred yuan to get a pound. It was indeed a fairy wine that a good man should drink!

I'm just concerned about the Wuliangye wine. Isn't Chang'an City starting to sell again these days? Why do you have to have a party? Let's talk about the sales? Isn't this unnecessary?"

The old man looked at the notice carefully again, then turned around and looked at a group of people waiting for explanation;

"The notice said that the Wuliangye wine sold in the past few days is trying to sell for a few days to see if anyone is here to buy it, and to familiarize the process of selling wine for those big wine sellers, so that the big ones can see the people's attitude towards Wuliangye and whether they are welcome."

"It must be welcomed. Such fine wine is much better than the previous 10,000-dollar wine, but it is only sold for 6,000 yuan. How can the people not welcome me?"

"That's right, Wu Laoer said it well. Of course the people welcomed it, but I asked me to say that six thousand is still too expensive.

If it could be sold for 3,400 yuan per dou, it would be even better. When you have nothing to do, spend two or three hundred yuan to get him a pound, find someone who is close to him, fry them two hot dishes, sit down and eat them for the middle of the night, how happy it would be?"

"Hey, you said it's light and you want to sell it for three to four thousand yuan per bull. The problem is that Li County Bo doesn't cost money to buy millet. It's enough to sell it at this price. Don't be greedy anymore."

"That's right? To be honest, even if Wuliangye is sold for ten thousand yuan, it is worth the money. Li County Bo asked all the big families in the world to sell for six thousand yuan, which is already very considerate for our people..."

"Don't yell first. I'll hear the old master tell you the notice. It's not too late for the Master to explain it later. Master Zou, tell me what the sale rights are, so that everyone can learn more about it!"

"That's right, Master Zou, please explain it clearly!"

The old man stroked the goatee's beard, coughed a few times, and grabbed enough airs before he continued to speak;

"The notice said, the sales are just a few days ago. Someone bought it or not. It is for those big sellers who sell wine. The specific selling rights will be decided tomorrow in the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue.

For example, in a certain county, if you want to sell strong liquor, you have to pay for it, or a hundred jin of money or a thousand jin. I just made an example, but the specific notice was not written.

Then you pay the money to the court, and all the places in this county can only be sold by your family, and then for generations, you can only be sold by your family.

If someone goes to the territory designated by the court for you to sell wine, you can report it to the government. The court will naturally arrest those who break the rules.

The notice clearly stated that the money that they had to be beaten would be given to the people who were originally selling alcohol, and a small part of it belonged to the court. This is how things are. I will not delay it, and there is still something to do."

"Oh my master, don't hurry to leave, this is not clear..."

"Hey, I said to Zhao's wife, why haven't you heard it clearly yet? The teacher said it clearly enough. You can buy a place by paying the money. Then you go to the Ministry of Revenue to buy Wuliangye and sell it on your land. What a simple thing..."

Everyone was talking, a middle-aged man in silk frowned and looked at the notice twice, then left without saying a word, and returned to the road and sat in a carriage and ordered the coachman;

"Let's go quickly and go to Uncle Jiu's house. I have something important to do, so don't delay it."

"It's the husband."

The servant who drove the car agreed and immediately drove the carriage out of the alley. Just looking at the carriage walking smoothly, you know that the coachman has been a veteran for at least twenty years.

This person is Zheng, the Zheng family in Xingyang who has been hesitating whether to participate in the court selling spirits. Zheng Tong, the eldest son of the third clan leader of the Zheng family,

This alley is a beautiful concubine he raised. After just over a year of collection, he was less than apart from the wives and concubines in his family. Zheng Tong bought this house for him to settle it so that the old ladies would not be able to get fucked all day long.

Recently, Zheng Tong has been selling strong liquor for almost a month. Yesterday, the concubine arranged for the maid to visit the head of the family and sent a handwritten letter to express her love and wanted to enjoy the rain and dew.

Isn't that right? Zheng Tong also felt that it was unreasonable to not come for more than 20 days. He stayed there all night yesterday, hugging the concubine who was as young as a flower and as tender as bamboo shoots after a rain, and the clouds and rain in Wushan were blooming twice in the middle of the night before he was sleeping with it!

When he woke up early this morning, he just left his concubine's house and saw a group of young and old gathered around the entrance of the alley, and Zheng Tong couldn't help but come over to check it out. It was not a big deal, and he frowned when he looked at it.

The contents in the notice were clearly written. The registered large households went to the warehouse department to collect their license plates today and went to a large warehouse in the east city of the Ministry of Revenue to attend the final party tomorrow.

It means that there is only the last day left today. If you continue to hesitate, you will no longer have a chance to participate tomorrow!

Zheng Tong has always advocated following the court, but several important clan elders have always opposed this matter, for fear of falling into the trap of the court. His clan leader Aye was also swaying from side to side and hesitating. This matter was just hanging in the air and had not been resolved for a long time.

Today, Zheng Tong read the notice posted by the Ministry of Revenue and felt that he could not hesitate anymore. If he hesitated for another day today, he would never have a chance.

The coachman pulled Zheng Tong to the house of the old man of the nine clans in the south of the city. After informing him, the door immediately opened the side door and put his carriage and horse in.

The carriage entered the second yard. Zheng Tong got out of the car and hurriedly walked into the main hall. On the way, he met a servant and gave him a direct order;

"Go and invite Uncle Jiu quickly, just say I have important matters to discuss with my uncle and his elder brother."

"only!"

The servant agreed to leave quickly, and Zheng Tong slowed down and thought about his worries while walking. In addition to his own patriarch Aye, the legitimate elder of the Zheng family, there were five people left.

This Jiu Uncle is the chief manager in charge of Chang'an City. He is very important in speaking. He is Aye's good helper and one of the three elders who are close to him.

Aye has always had to consider what Uncle Jiu said carefully. No matter what, today, you must win the level of Uncle Jiu to convince Aye, otherwise everything will be empty talk.

As the patriarch of the third room of Zheng, Aye did not nod and agreed. No one in the third room could decide on the matter. No one dared to represent the third room of Zheng, without the consent of the patriarch, to participate in the sale of liquor in private on behalf of the third room of Zheng.

Thinking of his worries, Zheng Tong came to the main hall and sat down. Several maids were serving him, and another servant went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of standard tea.

Zheng Tong sucked and ate it. The mutton in the tea was very large and quite a lot. Zheng Tong was not in the mood to eat meat. He chewed a few bites and ate a bowl of mutton oil tea. When the bowls and chopsticks were pushed to the side, a maid cleaned up and took it away.

Zheng Tong, who was ecstatic, heard the old voice at the door of the main hall;

"Da Lang, if you don't go to the yamen, why did you come to me?"

Zheng Tong turned his head and saw that Uncle Jiu was coming, so he stood up quickly;

"My nephew pays homage to my uncle, my uncle is lucky and Jinan."

"My son is exempted from gifts. You sit down and we will be polite to you when we come back at our own house."

Zheng Tong smiled and went up to meet him, helping the old man sit down;

"The courtesy should not be abolished. Uncle, please wait. Uncle, please sit up high."

The old man sat down steadily before speaking again;

"You just woke up early this morning, and you came here just at the beginning of the day. There must be something important to discuss. Recently, I have been making trouble for the white wine Wuliangye. I'm afraid you came for this matter. Let's say something happened?"

"Uncle, you really predict things. No wonder you have been responsible for the transaction of our three houses in Chang'an City for decades and never made any mistakes. My nephew admires me very much."

"I am almost seventy years old. Since my elder brother handed over the affairs of Chang'an City to me, I have never dared to neglect it. I have been working diligently for nearly forty years without any complaints.

I was afraid that I would let down my elder brother's high profile and praise. Although there was nothing outstanding, it was not easy to keep our three-bedroom business going on."

"That's that's it. Uncle is the merit. I, Aye, often teach me, "Uncle Jiu, you are the most loyal and the most down-to-earth in doing things, so I, Aye, have always carefully considered your words."

"I'm not boasting that I always focus on the overall situation of our third wife, so I'll listen to me more. The old brothers in this tribe can say a few more words after I go there. The other brothers' words are not very good."

"Uncle, you are dedicated to our third room. Aye is not a fool, and you must listen to you. Besides, Uncle Third and Uncle Five only knew how to study in the early days, but later you brought it up. Now, the only ones who can be the pillars in our third room are uncle, you."

The old man laughed so hard that his juniors said, and he stroked his beard with ease;

"You'd better be obsessed with the sale of liquor in the court. You want me to be a lobbyist and ask my brother to settle down in the end, right?

To be honest, I agree with your idea. It is right to follow the court. The other tribes were chattering and disagreeing. I also knew in my heart that those who were dancing the most were just waiting to die. What would you think?

Those who are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back are afraid of tigers. It is difficult for a mob to become a great man. Although I support your idea, their group of people are shaking and undecisive about what the elder brother said, which is also very troublesome.

That's why I told you, Uncle Third and Uncle Five to talk as little as possible. The purpose is to wait for you, Aye, to calm down for a while, and the three of us old guys talk together to soothe your elder brother's heart.

You don’t have to worry. I have discussed the things you said to me before several times, and we all agree with you. Don’t worry, you will definitely be satisfied with this matter.”
