Li Shui and Li Xin were drinking tea in Shangjun Courtyard.
While the two were chatting and laughing, the craftsman came to report that many people suddenly gathered at the door, clamoring to see Lord Banished Immortal.
Li Shui was shocked when he heard this: What's going on? Is Xiaoxiao trying to harm me? They actually besieged my Shangjun Courtyard in broad daylight.
Li Xin slapped the table, stood up and angrily shouted: "It's so outrageous. There are still people coming to commit murder in broad daylight?"
Li Xin asked: "Who are these people? Are they armed?"
The craftsman said awkwardly: "It seems that they are all from Xianyang City. Judging from their appearance, they look like servants from various houses."
Li Xin scolded: "If you didn't tell me earlier, you would have made me and Brother Huai worried."
The craftsman felt aggrieved: You didn't ask me this. Just when I was about to say, sir, you slapped the table and stood up.
Li Xin said: "Brother Huai, let's go out and have a look together."
Li Xin didn't hear Li Shui's response. When he turned his head, there was no sign of Li Shui.
Li Xin frowned and said, "You were here just now, where have you been?"
The craftsman said in a low voice: "Sir, when you were speaking just now, Exiled Immortal went out from behind."
Li Xin frowned and said, "Brother Huai didn't hear the second half of what you said. He went out to call for help."
Just as Li Xing was going to look for Li Shui, Li Shui turned around and walked out of the next room.
Li Xin suppressed a smile, glanced at Li Shui with disgust, and said, "Brother Huai, there are just some servants outside the door. Are you dressed like this?"
Li Shui was seen walking out wearing a suit of armor and holding a sword in his hand.
Li Shui didn't care about Li Xin's reaction and said confidently: "Brother Li, you have been on the battlefield for a long time, why don't you understand the importance of saving your life?"
Li Xin smiled and said, "As I said just now, there are just servants from various governments outside."
Li Shui sighed, walked forward, patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said, "As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open gun and hard to defend against a hidden arrow."
Li Xin nodded and said, "You are right."
Li Shui said in a low voice: "Who knows if there are people among these servants who are plotting against me. It would be impossible without some safeguards."
Li Xin laughed and said, "Let's go and see."
Li Xin and Li Xin walked to the door together.
The servants outside the door were very puzzled when they saw Li Shui coming out wearing a suit of armor, but they randomly raised the booklets in their hands and shouted to Li Shui: "Master Banished Immortal, look at my house, look at my house."
Li Shui and Li Xin were both wondering what was going on.
Li Shui looked at the craftsmen next to him and asked, "What are they holding in their hands?"
Takuto whispered: "Sir, it looks like there are some rosters."
Li Shui wondered: "Why do these people want me to see the roster?"
Li Shui pointed at a random person and said to the craftsman next to him: "Go and get the booklet in his hand."
Seeing that Li Shui only pointed at him, the servant excitedly presented the list to the craftsman with both hands.
Then the servant said: "Sir, these are all winemakers carefully selected by my family. They all have superb skills. It can be said that they are all passed down by the family."
Li Shui looked through the roster and saw that they were all people from the area near Wu's hometown.
Only then did Li Shui understand that these adults seemed to have heard the news and wanted to send some winemakers to get a share of the pie.
Li Shuigang wanted to raise his arms to signal everyone to be quiet, but found that wearing armor was inconvenient and a bit heavy.
Li Shui glanced at the craftsman next to him. The craftsman understood what Li Shui meant and helped Li Shui take off his armor.
Li Xin asked in confusion: "Brother Huai, why did you take off your armor? Aren't you afraid of a minor assassination?"
Li Shui said calmly: "The intention of the visitor is already clear. He has always come to cooperate with me, Shangjun Courtyard. How could he commit an assassination?"
"Besides, Brother Li is here, so you don't dare to measure someone with evil intentions."
Li Xingang wanted to laugh at Huaiguzi, but after hearing the second half of the words, he was very impressed and nodded with a smile.
Li Shui glanced at the craftsmen next to him and said, "Collect their rosters."
After the craftsman collected the rosters one by one, Li Shui said loudly to everyone outside the door: "Everyone, I already know what your adults are thinking."
"I have these rosters under my control for now. Please come back."
Li Shui only accepted one person's name on the roster just now. The others were very jealous and cast a candid look at the servant.
Now that Li Shui had said a word, all the rosters had been collected, and everyone's hearts suddenly felt balanced.
At least I can do business when I go back.
Everyone thanked them together and left Shang Jun's Courtyard one after another.
Li Xin asked in confusion: "Do you still want their winemaker?"
"Wouldn't this mean that these people will be divided?"
Li Shui smiled and said, "Who said I would use these people."
Li Xin frowned and said, "Then what do you want their roster for?"
Li Shui handed the roster to the craftsman next to him and said slowly: "These adults who can send the roster must have heard something."
"They want to get a piece of the pie from our Shangjun Courtyard. In other words, they not only recognize the low-alcohol wine industry, but also want to have good relations with our Shangjun Courtyard."
"There are some adults' signatures on the roster. Collecting the roster will help you see which adults want to be friends with us."
Li Xin thought for a while and said, "So what if I know?"
Li Shui smiled and said: "Register these names, and in turn, we will know who wants to go against me."
Li Xin looked at Li Shui with wide eyes and thought: Can you still think so? It's a bit arbitrary.
Li Xin said: "Brother Huai, do you want to give them a share?"
Li Shui said: "There is only so much porridge, it is impossible to share it with them."
"The purpose of collecting the roster is to give them something to think about and give them peace of mind."
"Secondly, if there are people who oppose me in the court, these people will definitely be on our side."
"Wouldn't it be nice if this is beneficial to us and not harmful to us?"
Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother Huai, you are still thoughtful. If it were me, I would have driven away these people with just a stamp of my feet."
Li Shui smiled and said: "Brother Li is a famous general on the battlefield who protects the family and the people. Of course he has no intention of scheming in this business."
Li Xin was very pleased after hearing this and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

In Zhao Mansion, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly walked into Zhao Teng's study.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Shangjun Courtyard is going to cooperate with Qi Mansion to make wine. Do you know about this?"
Zhao Teng put down his pen and said, "I know, when I went to court today, Huaiguzi invited me to go to the Qi Mansion to find Mr. Qi, and he also said he would give me a fortune."
Mrs. Zhao asked hurriedly: "What then?"
Zhao Teng said casually, "I'm not going."
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she clenched her fists and asked, "Why don't you go? Huaiguzi made it so obvious. If you go, you will get your share."
Zhao Teng said slowly: "Huaiguzi and I jointly tried the case of Qi Mansion. Mr. Qi didn't come to court today just to save his face. If Huaiguzi and I go at this time, wouldn't it make people think that we are going to Qi Mansion to watch a joke? .”
Mrs. Zhao suppressed her anger and said, "I think you are a joke."
Zhao Teng pulled Mrs. Zhao down on the chair and said: "Madam, please don't be angry. The fairy wine has been sold for so long. Now if we make another kind of wine, who will buy it?"
"It doesn't matter whether we make money or lose money when things go bad. We don't need to take this risk."
