"Bah! Those guys from the fifth surname are too shameless." Cheng Yaojin cursed at Qin Qiong's mansion in Chang'an.

Qin Qiong drank the wine and said, "Old Man Cheng, don't be impatient."

"Why don't be impatient?"

Cheng Yaojin jumped anxiously and said, "It was the first time you, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, who was the first to find Li Zheng. At that time, no one looked down on Li Zheng. You said that Li Zheng is famous now, why do these five surnames come over to smell the fishy smell?"

"It's not necessarily that Li Zheng will follow them, so don't be too anxious." Yuchi Gong, the general of the Right Martial Arts, also comforted him.

"It's not necessarily true? You haven't seen the face of the fifth surname, and you even have to sell your daughter."

Cheng Yaojin was indignant and could not lose any talent after many years.

Everyone present was the same. To be honest, I was really worried that Li Zheng would follow the people of the five surnames.

The five surnames are so famous in Guanzhong. They have a century-old family, including the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Lu family in Fanyang, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Li family in Zhaojun, and the Wang family in Taiyuan.

These aristocratic families have deep roots, and they almost cover scholars all over the world in their families and even under their respective ranks.

He is also the object of fear that Li Shimin has always been afraid of.

It is even circulated in Guanzhong that heroes should marry women of five surnames. It is rumored that men have ambitions: to be promoted to the Jinshi, marry women of five surnames, and to compile the history of the country.

How many scholars are looking at women among the five tribes.

The status of the five surnames can be seen.

The status of women of the five surnames was even more hopeful in the hearts of men of the Tang Dynasty, and during the Sui Dynasty, they married princesses and were disliked by the five surnames.

Many times they don’t even take Li Shimin seriously.

Seven or eight out of ten scholars in the world come from five surnames.

How many officials in the court are the eyeliners of the five surnames.

Many people are not blind, and those with discerning eyes can see it.

Li Shimin had long wanted to attack them but had never found any opportunity.

The status of the five surnames is too high, which is not a good thing for the royal family.

The invitation from the five surnames spread throughout Chang'an.

Rarely, families of five surnames take the initiative to curry favor with one person.

This time, the entire Chang'an people were waiting for Li Zheng's reaction.

Jingyang County

On the first day of the invitation from the five surnames, Cheng Chumo asked others to deliver all the things Li Zheng wanted to the village...

Cheng Chumo also made a fortune and gave more than fifty pigs in one go.

I handed over these pigs to the aunts in the village to raise them, and gave them five thousand guan to my father.

A carriage is built with a jar of aged jar in the carriage.

With the promised fifty kilograms of aged wine, Cheng Chumo will be a carriage with one move.

"It seems that the Cheng family is very rich." Li Zheng thought to himself, he lost! The money is going to be less.

In the future, people in our village will not have to worry about having no meat to eat, nor will they have to go to the mountains and forests to hunt for a bite of meat.

One of them was killed on the spot and gave the children in the village to meat.

So much so that the response to the five surnames was the sound of pig killing sounds in and outside the village.

Many people can’t understand what the sound of slaughtering pigs means?

Could it be that the sound of killing pigs was Li Zheng hinting about what?

Wait and then wait...

Some people even simply lived outside Jingyang Village.

Li Zheng, who was busy in the village, found two large pots at the village chief's house to distille the liquor.

"Just, what do you want this pot to be used for?" the old village chief asked with a kind smile.

"For distilling liquor, just think I'm in a brewing bar." Li Zheng said.

"Zheng'er, I can still make wine if I have the ability."

The old village chief smiled and nodded, "I'm still able to make wine when I grow up and have knowledge."

The old village chief is over 80 years old and is the birthday boy in the village. He can walk a few steps with a cane.

First, send Cheng Chumo to the aged wine and pour it into the pot, and set a fire underneath.

Then knock out a small hole in another pot, insert it horizontally into a bamboo joint in the hollow, and seal the gap.

The boiling point of the wine is very low, only about seventy degrees.

It is easier to vaporize than water. The wine and water can be separated by boiling. The vaporized wine condenses into water droplets and flows down the arched lid, and then drips down through bamboo joints.

Half a bowl has been available in more than an hour.

Li Yifu reported to Li Zhenglai about the reconstruction of the village and asked curiously: "Jingyang Ling, what are you doing?"

“Winemaking.”

"How could there be such a wine brewing?"

He handed half a bowl of distilled wine to Li Yifu, "Try it."

After taking the drink, Li Yifu sniffed it first, glanced at Li Zheng's face, and no longer thought about drinking it in one sip.

This choke made him cough, and it took him a while to recover.

"What a strong drink."

Seeing Li Yifu's cheeks flushed, he suddenly turned red to his neck. He fell to the ground after walking for only two steps.

Only then did Li Zheng remember that the first verbal wine distilled was the strongest, and the degree was about the same as alcohol.

"I've made a mistake."

Look at the unconscious Li Yifu.

"I hope people are fine."

...

On the first day after the five surnames issued the invitation, Li was brewing wine...

The day after the five surnames sent the invitation, Li Zheng was still brewing wine...

On the third day after the five surnames issued the invitation, Li Zheng continued to brew wine...

On the fourth day, people outside couldn't wait.

"What does this Li Zheng mean? I have never given a reply."

Some people were looking forward to it, while others were squatting outside the village of Jingyang County to get first-hand news.

The entire Jingyang County is as usual, with more than a dozen strong men standing at the entrance of the village, and a six-and-a-half-man-tall pastoral dog with a fierce appearance.

People from the five surnames kept shouting to the village outside the village, not leaving each other three times in the morning, noon and evening, for fear that Li Zheng would not hear it.

Day 5...

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help it anymore, "What does this Li Zheng mean? I'll be fine if I want to kill and cut it. I'll come to the door to find this guy to reason with it."

"Calm down, calm down." Yuchi Gong stopped Cheng Yaojin.

"How can you calm down when Mr. Cheng? Li Zheng has been reluctant to speak. Could it be that he really wants to leave the fifth surname?"

"If you really find Li Zheng with such murderous aura, you will be the only one who is the five surnames." Before Qin Qiong could finish his words, Cheng Yaojin had already left the door with the Xuanhua axe.

Qin Qiong covered her forehead in pain, "This Cheng Yaojin's violent temper is a mess."

"Cheng Yaojin looks so tough and irritable, but he is actually very delicate." Yuchi Gong comforted: "Don't worry, he won't make trouble."

Li Zheng is a good seedling, and Qin Qiong knew in his heart that if Li Zheng followed the five surnames, there would be one such literary master missing for the Tang Dynasty.

Once the five surnames get Li Zheng, they will definitely find ways to make Li Zheng completely loyal to the five surnames.

What Li Shimin was most worried about was that scholars all over the world only knew the five surnames but did not know the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

If Li Zheng and the five surnames stood together, it would be a huge blow to the Li Tang Dynasty, who had finally gained a foothold.

From then on, the five surnames will have greater prestige in Guanzhong.

This is also the reason why the five surnames took out ten thousand coins of silver and glutinous land at all costs, and even the eldest daughter in the clan was willing to take it out.
