When Li Shimin saw Yuechan put away the drawings, he turned around, looked at Qin Ming with a smile and said:

"My dear nephew, there is so much alcohol in your house now."

"Uncle wants it all. As for the money, just tell me the amount and I will arrange for someone to send it to you."

Qin Ming lowered his head and thought for a while and said:

"Uncle, my nephew doesn't have much alcohol at home, but he can make alcohol very quickly."

"My nephew will notify my servants soon to transport all the fifty jars of alcohol stored at home to Ximeng Tower. Just arrange for someone to pick them up tomorrow."

"Okay, then Uncle Tomorrow will ask Yuechan to bring someone over to collect the alcohol."

After saying that, Qin Ming remembered that Lu Guogong wanted to find him to deal with high alcohol.

He looked at the people in the room, then at Li Er in front of him, hesitated and said:

"Uncle, there is something that my nephew wants to talk to you alone. Look..."

After saying that, Qin Ming looked at the other people in the room.

Li Shimin looked at Qin Ming's serious expression and guessed that Qin Ming had other important things to talk to him alone.

He thought for a while and concluded that the adjustment plan for the refugee gathering place had been finished.

Originally, he was thinking of returning to the palace early to discuss the matter with the ministers.

So he turned to the others and said:

"You guys go downstairs and wait for me. I'll go down after saying a few words to my nephew."

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji heard the words, nodded in agreement, and filed out.

Only Yuechan and Li Shimin's bodyguards were left in the room.

When Qin Ming saw the door closed, he waited for a while and said:

"Uncle Li, actually there is something my nephew didn't mention just now, which is alcohol. It also has a very important purpose."

Li Shimin couldn't help but curiously said:

"what is the usage?"

Qin Ming walked to Li Shimin and whispered:

"If a soldier suffers a knife or sword wound while calling for a fight, he can use alcohol to clean the wound."

"This can avoid wound inflammation and speed up wound healing. Reduce the proportion of soldiers who die from injuries."

Li Shimin was startled when he heard this. He had been leading troops in wars since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

He knew very well that when two soldiers fought, the number of people who actually died on the battlefield was far lower than the number of people who died of injuries after the war.

Therefore, in general wars, the number of casualties is counted, because injury usually means death.

If this alcohol can really treat wounded soldiers, then this alcohol will be too important to the current Tang Dynasty.

After all, there are still many countries in the surrounding area that are eyeing the Tang Dynasty, and future wars will definitely be inevitable.

Li Shimin thought of this, his expression was serious, and he looked at Qin Ming with sharp eyes and said:

"My dear nephew, are you serious about what you say? You must know that this is related to the life and death of millions of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. You can't joke about it?"

Of course Qin Ming knew the importance of this matter, and he decided to speak frankly to Li Shimin about it after careful consideration.

One is because I saw too many poor refugees on the road today.

He didn't want his concealment to cause many soldiers who could have been revived to die from wound inflammation on the battlefield in the future.

That would definitely make him feel uneasy.

The second is to consider that in the future, Li Er will definitely not be able to hide the high alcohol content with Lu Guogong.

So taking this matter as an example, it was also to avoid Li Er's suspicion.

Third, I thought that anyway, I had already started a tea-frying business with Li Er, and also started a brewing business, so that both parties would have more interests involved.

After all, no matter what age.

Interests are the basis for a stable cooperative relationship.

Qin Ming did not avoid it. Li Shimin looked at Li Shimin with what he thought was a sincere look and said:

"Uncle, why did my nephew lie to you? When my leg was injured, Master Sun used alcohol to clean it before bandaging it."

"If you don't believe it, you can ask the doctor just now to take alcohol and try it on a few injured people."

When Li Shimin heard this, he knew it in his heart. He wished he could go back to the palace immediately and ask the imperial doctor to order Wang Bo to find a few people to try.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin smiled and said:

"Well, of course I believe you, but this time, you have made great contributions to the court."

"If that alcohol can really cure sword and arrow wounds, then uncle, please ask the King of Hejian County to give you credit."

"Perhaps His Majesty will be happy and reward you with a title."

Qin Ming felt happy when he heard this, knowing that since Li Er said so, it would probably be no problem for him to be knighted.

But then I thought about it. If I received the title and received the imperial salary, how could I wait for Zhuangzi to be a cool person in the future?

If Li Er doesn't give orders every day, he can't agree to this if it doesn't work.

So he quickly changed the topic and said:

"Uncle, didn't my nephew tell me earlier? If you don't want to enter the officialdom, don't embarrass me. You can just ask for the merit yourself."

Li Shimin said in his heart,

(This boy, others are looking forward to finding a wife and a shadow, but you can't avoid it.

Do you really not want to be an errand under me?

Good boy, wait for me, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. )

"Uncle, one more thing, are you interested in this high-alcohol and alcohol business?"

"I'm going to open a brewing workshop, specializing in making strong wine and alcohol."

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this. After all, there are few people in the world who don't like money.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but they all need money to support them.

Besides, there was no one else in the room.

Li Shimin said:

"Yes, how much money are you prepared to invest this time? How will you divide it?"

Qin Mingze said:

"My nephew hasn't decided how much to invest. He has to go to Duke Lu's mansion soon."

"We will talk about the division in two days."

Li Shimin heard Qin Ming say that he wanted to go to Cheng Yaojin's house, and was a little curious. He didn't know when this kid hooked up with Zhijie.

So, Li Shimin pretended to be curious and asked:

"Does your wise nephew know Duke Lu?"

Qin Ming knew that instead of hiding things from Li Er and arousing suspicion, it was better to tell the truth directly.

So he told Li Shimin in detail how he met Cheng Chumo in the West Market.

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, but now he couldn't stop Qin Ming from finding Cheng Zhijie.

No matter how you say it, Cheng Zhijie is his confidant.

Looking at Li Shimin's expression, Qin Ming probably guessed what the Emperor was thinking about.

He didn't say much, seeing that it was getting late.

So he coughed twice and reminded:

"Uncle Li, you see it's not too early. You'd better talk to the Prince of Hejian County about the refugee gathering place first."

"How about we discuss the brewery matter in two days?"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this and said to Qin Ming:

"Okay, the refugee issue is more important, so I'll go back first and wait for this matter."

"Uncle will go to your house again to talk to you about the brewery."

Hearing this, Qin Ming smiled and nodded.

.....

After a while, Qin Ming looked at the carriage that had gone away and let out a long sigh of relief.

Tao of the heart

"I finally left. Talking to these big guys is really tiring. It's more tiring than playing games all day."

Shopkeeper Guo saw his boss with a tired look on his face and said from the side:

"Master, I see that you don't look good. Would you like to go upstairs and rest for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming smiled at Shopkeeper Guo and said:

"It's okay, no need, you did a good job today. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Well, boss, please be careful on the road."

Qin Ming got on the carriage and asked the guards to take him to the Huaxia Vegetable Shop.

On the way to the shop, Qin Ming wrote a letter to Xiao Changxi, telling her that she would not go back today.

Ask her to take out fifty jars of the alcohol stored in the warehouse, and ask the escort team to take it to Ximeng Tower and hand it over to Miss Yuechan when they deliver vegetables tomorrow.

After writing the letter, Qin Ming called a guard and asked him to ride out of the city and back to Qinjiazhuang Mansion.
