In the backyard of Qi Mansion, Wu's room.
After Master Qi came down from court, he hurried back to the house and went directly into Wu's room.
Seeing Mr. Qi's excited face, Wu couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what are you so happy about?"
Mr. Qi said: "Your Majesty has issued an oral decree and approved the brewing of low-alcohol wine."
Wu Shi asked in confusion: "Hasn't His Majesty always approved of this?"
Mr. Qi said: "Your Majesty does agree with this matter, but today the Prime Minister said that we have formed a clique with Huaiguzi for personal gain."
Wu Shi stared and asked, "If there is such a thing, will your Majesty punish me?"
Mr. Qi smiled and said, "If Your Majesty is angry, I won't be able to come back today."
Wu nodded and said, "That's true."
"What happened in the end?"
Mr. Qi said slowly: "Since it is a rumor, it is self-defeating."
"Huai Guzi rendered Wang Wan speechless in just a few words."
Wu looked at Mr. Qi lovingly and said, "You've gotten better."
Mr. Qi helped Wu sit on the chair and continued: "Not only did your Majesty not listen to the rumors, he also gave an oral order."
“No one else is allowed to participate in the brewing of low-alcohol wine.”
Wu asked doubtfully: "If other people don't participate in the order, can we still get our share?"
Mr. Qi smiled and said: "Other people are no longer allowed to participate. It means that in addition to the existing Huaiguzi, we and Li Xin, no other ministers can participate in the stake."
After hearing this, Wu nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. I hope the income will get better and better in the future, and our Qi family won't have to worry about tomorrow's meals."
Mr. Qi patted Wu Shi on the back and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, you two will not be hungry."
After speaking, Mr. Qi touched Wu Shi's belly.
Mr. Qi smiled and said, "Wang Wan wants to suppress us by forming a clique for personal gain."
"Unexpectedly, not only did it not suppress us, but it actually enabled our cooperation with Shangjun Courtyard."
"Before, I was worried that Huaiguzi would turn his back and refuse to admit his fault. Now everyone knows about Wang Wan's troubles, and His Majesty has personally issued the order."
"Presumably Shangjun Villa will not tear up the contract for no reason in the future."
Wu said: "Now everyone knows that Shangjun Courtyard uses people from our Qi Mansion to brew low-alcohol wine."
"If he terminates cooperation with us without any reason, it will also be a blow to low-alcohol wine brands."
"He wouldn't do that easily."
Mr. Qi nodded and said, "I hope so. Huaiguzi is a man of many uncertainties. Who knows what he will do tomorrow."
In Shangjun's courtyard, Li Shui and Li Xin were sitting together.
Before Li Shui could finish his tea, he sneezed twice in succession.
Li Shui wondered: "I wonder which little girl is talking about me behind my back again."
Li Xin said with a smile: "Brother Huai's high-profile promotion of low-alcohol wine certainly made some people jealous."
Li Shui said slowly: "It doesn't matter if you are jealous, as long as you don't make trouble like Wang Wan."
Li Xin said: "Brother Huai, don't worry. If there are people like Wang Wan who follow the wind and rain, I will bring him to your Majesty first and ask your Majesty to punish him."
"Anyway, His Majesty has given us permission to brew low-alcohol wine. Let's see who else is dissatisfied."
Li Shui nodded, thinking: Although Li Xin doesn't understand anything, playing with Li Xin has the advantage of being safe and secure.
As long as it's not good for him, Li Xin will find a way to solve it, which saves him a lot of trouble.
Li Shui smiled and said, "With Brother Li here, I feel most at ease."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Li Shui took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder how Lu Yi's development is going?"
Li Xin said: "The fake wine developed by Lu Yi before was very popular in the alleys. There will definitely be no big problem this time."
Li Shui nodded and said, "The five-day deadline I set with him that day has arrived today."
Li Xin asked in confusion: "Five days deadline? What's the deadline?"
Li Shui smiled and said: "The preparation of the low-alcohol wine needs to be completed within five days."
Li Xin widened his eyes and said, "It will be completed within five days, Brother Huai. I always thought that it would take about half a year to achieve initial results."
"Your requirements are really high. You actually asked Lu Yi to complete it within five days."
"He agreed?"
Li Shui nodded and said, "I agree."
Li Xin frowned and said, "That's right. How can he not agree to your brother Huai's request? You must have resorted to some means."
Li Shui smiled and said: "It doesn't use any means."
"I just told him that if he doesn't finish it within five days, he will stay in Qi Mansion and won't have to come back."
After hearing this, Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Isn't this quite good? Lu Yi is originally from the Qi Mansion."
Li Shui said: "Yes, it is precisely because he was originally from Qi Mansion and later entered Shang Jun's Courtyard."
"Master Qi is very face-conscious and hates people who abandon his master."
"He didn't say it, but after seeing Lu Yi, he inevitably felt uncomfortable in his heart."
"I'm afraid it's impossible to return to the previous master-servant relationship."
Li Xin nodded and said: "Brother Huai, since you know this, why do you still let Lu Yi go to Qi Mansion? Why don't you just stay in Shangjun's courtyard?"
Li Shui smiled and said: "Those fellow villagers of the Wu family still have to use it."
"Although there is a gap between Lu Yi and Mr. Qi, he and the Wu family are from the same hometown after all."
"I have told you that Mr. Qi doesn't know how to make wine, so Lu Yi should rarely meet Mr. Qi when he goes to the Qi Mansion."
"Besides, everyone needs some pressure to be motivated."
"Lv Yi will suffer a day in Qi Mansion, and his desire to return to Shangjun Courtyard will become more and more urgent, so he will develop it more carefully."
Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother Huai is really smart in employing people."
Li Shui laughed at himself: The capitalists in his hometown in his previous life were nothing more than this.
Li Xin looked at the time and saw that it was already afternoon. He couldn't help but said, "Brother Huai, it's almost evening. Is Lu Yi unable to finish?"
Li Xin sighed and said, "I think the time you set, Brother Huai, is too short. How can it be completed in such a short time?"
"If it can't be completed and Lu Yi stays in Qi Mansion, the brewing of low-alcohol wine will be in vain."
"From now on, the people of Da Qin will no longer be able to drink low-alcohol wine. This is a pity."
Li Shui looked at Li Xin sighing and said with a smile: "Brother Li, what you regret is not the people of Qin, but whether you can get the share."
Li Xin smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't they all mean the same thing?"
Li Shui took a sip of tea and couldn't help but look outside the door.
Could it be that Lu Yi really couldn't get it done on time?
In fact, when I wanted to tell Lu Yi the time limit, I just stretched out five fingers. The original intention was that the time limit was fifty days.
Who would have thought that when Lu Yi saw it, he first frowned, then knelt down and said firmly to Huaiguzi: "Sir, five days will be five days."
"Although time is tight, I will definitely live up to my trust."
Li Shui looked at his palm and thought: What? Five days? I obviously wanted to say it would be on the 50th.
Well, since you are so confident, I can't attack you. According to you, five days will be five days.
