"Reporting to your majesty, apart from the steward child, the only shop owner is Ning Wuchang, but Ning Wuchang... was imprisoned for hurting someone." Jiang Yan glanced at King Jin again.
King Jin immediately became angry.
Good on you Jiang Yan!
It turned out to be waiting here!
You want to use the prescription to bring out Ning Wushuang's injury, so you can make a big deal into a trivial one, right?
The King of Jin immediately winked at the Minister of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment immediately retorted: "If it is just a crime of wounding, as long as the government issues a document, it is not difficult to go to Beijing to present a prescription. Unless he has committed some serious crime of beheading, he will not be able to enter the court meeting to avoid the crime. Did you hit Sheng Yan?"
"Secretary Li seems to know the inside story about Ning Wuyan's injury?" Zhou Qian didn't understand the reason, but he also heard the intention of the Minister of Punishment.
Just as the Minister of Punishment was about to say it was "speaking from experience", Tong Buhuo had already finished the measurement.
"Your Majesty, please bring thirty kilograms of wine."
"Quick! Go to the imperial kitchen and get some wine!"
Zhou Qian had no intention of continuing to discuss this topic.
Li Shilang secretly regretted that he had missed the good opportunity before the prescription test, so he could only look to King Jin for help.
The only person who can bring up the topic at this time is King Jin.
King Jin naturally knew this, but his father's attitude just now made him feel guilty.
And he who was able to survive among the three wasted princes and still retain his strength knew the way of survival: he would rather do less than do wrong.
Therefore, King Jin chose to wait and see.
Especially the glances Jiang Yan casts at him from time to time. If he comes forward again, he will definitely leave a tit-for-tat impression on his father. Even if Ning Wuhao's matter goes as he wishes, if the wine recipe comes true, his father will also feel that he Very disappointing.
Furthermore.
If there really is that kind of spirit that is better than Yu Gong Liquor, this thing is more profitable than perfume, and a special Yu Fang will definitely be opened to deal with it.
He also planned to push people in to get some oil and water or transport some spirits through the back door, but a lot of money came to him like water.
Must wait and see!
The King of Jin remained silent, so other officials naturally did not dare to disturb Zhou Qian's interest.
For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the shade stared at the blind Tong Buhuo, who was struggling to clean the ironware, and bending down to dig out the kitchen ashes.
Seeing Tong Buhuo struggling to work due to his blindness, everyone gradually became irritated, wondering if it was because the weather was getting hotter.
Good thing.
The imperial kitchen soon delivered thirty kilograms of wine.
Zhou Qian sent someone to open a five-pound wine jar and bring it over. Six jars were arranged in a row and he sent someone to bring it to Tong Buhuo.
After sniffing it, Tong Buyu was shocked and said: "This is a high-quality Yugong bar. It is wasted by steaming the wine."
"I heard from Su Rui that steaming wine means purification, so that good seedlings can be grown. Isn't the wine steamed from good wine the best?" Zhou Qian asked in confusion and anticipation.
If ordinary bad wine can also be steamed to make good spirits, let alone the 30% tax increase in Jinling Mansion.
He dares to even think about increasing taxes by 30% in Daxing!
"Your Majesty, the wine used in my perfume shop is ordinary shochu... This wine is just fine. It will save you a few sticks of firewood and half a stick of incense."
Tong Buhuo's make-do expression almost shocked the jaws of all the civil and military officials.
Even Jiang Yan was shocked when he realized that there was such a way.
"Jiang Aiqing, why are you so surprised? Don't you know the subtlety of this steamed wine?" Zhou Qian tried hard to control his emotions, but the change of title showed his attitude.
Jiang Yan hurriedly controlled his expression and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, I... knew it was convenient to bring someone to offer it, so I was busy on my way and didn't ask. Besides, this is the secret recipe of the Ning family, so I couldn't ask."
That's true.
Zhou Qian looked at Tong Buhuo who poured the wine into the iron pot like water and squatted in front of the stove to start burning firewood.
Zhou Qian felt a little awkward when he saw Tong Buhuo scalding his hands with fire sticks from time to time.
He has seen people who have been blind for many days. Although their eyes are blind, they are sensitive to touch. Is the Tong Buhuo in front of him deliberately pretending?
For the sake of Daxing's 30% tax...he endured it.
Steam the wine first.
Before Zhou Qian had time to ask for someone to help, Jiang Yan spoke first: "Your Majesty, I want to help Tong Guanshi. He just went blind in the other eye and hasn't gotten used to it yet. If it gets burned again, I'm afraid it will Lives are at risk.”
What? Just went blind?
Zhou Qian suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the cloth on Tong Buhuo's eyes was still bloody.
He saw that Tong Buhuo did nothing dangerous except pouring wine, lighting a fire, and touching the ironware with moisture on the top with a spoon from time to time, and nothing that hurt his eyes. He asked in confusion: " Jiang Aiqing, how did Tong Buhuo become blind?"
Jiang Yan glanced at King Jin again.
A murderous intent flashed in Zhou Qian's eyes, and he also looked at King Jin: Could it be that this treacherous son dared to intercept and kill officials halfway because he was worried that the Ning family would rise to the top by offering his side?
"..."
King Jin was so frightened that the hot sweat all over his body turned into cold sweat, and he remained silent but confused.
Why are you looking at him again?
He didn't even know anyone named Tong, and he never ordered anyone to blind his eyes.
etc!
Blind your eyes?
If he remembered correctly, Zhou An mentioned in his letter to him that Ning Wuhuang was imprisoned for wounding, and the crime was...
"Your Majesty, this wine is almost steamed. If you want to purify it all, you still need to burn it again. However, two ounces of strong wine have been gathered in the container. The common people will collect it now and invite your Majesty to taste it."
Tong Buhuo's words successfully diverted Zhou Qian's attention.
After being relieved of the double suppression of his father's bloodline and the king's, King Jin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tong Buhuo, who was slowly walking over with a bowl of wine and was supported by his father himself.
He didn't know whether it was because his father's attitude was strange today or because the aroma of the wine was too strong. He felt a little dizzy.
“It smells so good!”
"I feel like I'm getting drunk before I even have it in my mouth."
"This wine can only be found in heaven. How many times can you smell it in the human world? It is indeed a recipe that was sent to the capital in a big way. It is indeed excellent!"
Compared with the praises from the civil and military officials, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"That Yugong wine is a rare thing. If this kind of wine can be mass-produced, it will increase the Yujiu brewery's income by at least tens of millions... or even more silver taels a year!"
There has been great peace for many years, and there are too many people who have spare money to drink.
And there are countless people who have spare money to drink good wine.
Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance looked enviously at Jiang Yan, who was sitting on the bench and taking over from Tong Buhuo to light the fire.
With this achievement, Jiang Yan can be promoted to at least three levels!
at this time.
Zhou Qian had already taken the wine bowl near the water. He put it under his nose and smelled it, and his cloudy eyes became a little brighter.
Zhou Qian could hardly contain his excitement and downed the bowl of wine in one gulp, but he had important things to deal with next, so naturally he couldn't make a joke while drunk.
As a decision-maker, you must keep a clear head at all times.
"It is indeed a good wine, Fourteenth, please try it for me."
The officials' expressions changed upon hearing this.
Let King Kang taste this first bowl of wine. Although it is suspected of testing poison, as long as the poison does not kill King Kang, Queen Kang will be blessed endlessly!
"Thank you, Father, for the reward!"
King Kang did not hesitate, took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
“Good wine!”
Wow!
Phew!
King Kang only said two words, then he dropped the bowl and fell to the ground with red cheeks.
He actually passed out drunk!
"Hahaha! This guy's usual drinking capacity is not bad. Today he poured a bowl of wine, which shows that this steamed wine is indeed what it says! Such a good wine, it can be called the best wine in the world!" Zhou Qian said this. It's like agreeing with the wine recipe.
All civil and military officials immediately agreed, looking enviously at Jiang Yan and Tong Buhuo, who was being supported by Zhou Qian.
When King Jin saw King Kang sleeping on the ground, he almost broke his teeth.
He had no way to vent his anger, so he could only accumulate it, preparing to refute the next words that Tong Buhuo might use the wine to exchange for Ning Wuhuo's life.
At this time, everyone heard Tong Buhuo murmur: "Actually... the wine steamed like this is not the best. There is also a food-saving wine recipe."
"What did you say?"
Zhou Qian suspected that he was old and had misheard.
This wine is not the best wine?
What’s the recipe for saving food?
Zhou Qian's heart was filled with heat. Before he could ask Tong Buhuo to clear up his doubts, King Jin finally found the moment to attack and shouted sternly: "Bold Tong Buhuo, since you are offering sacrifices to the Ning family, why do you dare to hide your secrets!"
