The Dumbfounded Cheng Yaojin
Jiang Fan brought the wine jug over and placed it on the table without hesitation.
After putting it down.
The fragrance that assaulted his face seemed to have some kind of magic. Before he could taste it, Old Cheng had already lost all his worries.
It was not even enough to call it Carefree Wine.
"Wait!" Just as Old Cheng was about to open the lid of the wine bottle and drink it all, Jiang Fan stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Old Cheng was a little unhappy and immediately said in a deep voice.
"Ahem, this wine is the treasure of our shop. Although our shop is small, it has its own characteristics, so this wine is a little more expensive than ordinary wine.”Jiang Fan didn't stop him for any other reason, but the wine that he had carefully brewed couldn't be sold so cheaply. He was still counting on this wine to make a fortune.
"Is it expensive? You're quite interesting, manservant. I, Old Cheng, don't lack money for wine.”Cheng Yaojin smiled when he heard this. Jiang Fan was the first person in the Great Tang to remind him that alcohol was expensive. However, he couldn't be bothered to argue with him and directly replied.
"Alright then, please enjoy yourself.”Hearing that the other party didn't lack money, Jiang Fan's eyes almost turned into crescent moons.
Without any obstruction, Cheng Yaojin began to take off the wine cap and began to drink.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Fan couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"Vulgar!"
Cheng Yaojin finished the jug of wine in a short while.
" Good wine, good wine!!!" After drinking it, Cheng Yaojin praised it endlessly and forgot all his previous worries.
"Customer, you have a good tolerance for alcohol. Do you want more?”Although Cheng Yaojin's drinking posture wasn't elegant, Jiang Fan really liked this kind of customer.
After all, compared to those people who thought it was too much for four or five people to drink, Cheng Yaojin's customers could make Jiang Fan rich in minutes!
"Come, give me another two pots, no, ten pots. My guest, I'm not in a good mood today!”Cheng Yaojin had never drunk such fine wine before. He immediately slammed the table and shouted.
As for Jiang Fan, when he heard that the other party wanted ten pots, his eyes lit up with copper coins. He was already overjoyed.
According to the calculation of 500 copper coins per pot, Cheng Yaojin had already created five strings of copper coins for him.
Five strings of copper coins were equivalent to the tavern's total income for the previous month.
Thinking of this, he felt that he should be able to stay here in peace for the next three months. At least, even if he left now, he would not have to worry about food and drink.
Just like that, he quickly brought over ten jugs of wine.
After bringing it over, Cheng Yaojin also displayed what was called magnanimity.
Ten pots of wine, in just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he had finished seven or eight pots.
After drinking all of this, for some reason, his originally excited expression slowly began to become worried.
The alcohol must have kicked in, and some unbearable memories came back to him.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan felt that he had to do something.
Otherwise, if this burly man didn't drink it, he would lose a few pots of wine!!
At the thought of this, he pretended to be bored and said,"Sir, you're really magnanimous. But looking at your expression, did you encounter something unhappy?”
People were like this. Once someone was chatting with them, they would drink more and more.
Jiang Fan was prepared to use this trick to make him spend more money here.
As expected, Old Cheng, who was drinking and gradually becoming unhappy, suddenly looked at Jiang Fan.
After looking at Jiang Fan, he immediately recalled the scene where he was scolded by Li Shi Min at the Dew Palace.
Then, he lowered his status and said,"Sigh, so what if there's something unhappy? It can't be solved.”
"Sir, look at what you're saying. Even if you can't solve it, it's comfortable to say it. Anyway, I'm just a servant. If you say it, I won't spread it out.”In order to make Cheng Yaojin drink more, Jiang Fan had put in a lot of effort.
"Haha, you're quite an interesting person. Alright, I, Old Cheng, will take it as sleep-talking.”After hearing Jiang Fan's words, Cheng Yaojin felt that it made sense. Indeed, it made him feel better.
However, it was impossible for him to say what really happened.
He pondered for a moment and then said,"My brother works in the army and is considered a small official. Recently, the higher-ups gave him a difficult problem and asked him to deal with the soldiers who just returned from the war. If he doesn't solve it, my brother will be forced to dismiss his official position and even implicate me.？？”
Cheng Yaojin said this purely in a state of pouring out his grievances.
He didn't expect Jiang Fan to have any ideas at all.
After all, what ideas could a servant in an unknown tavern have?
However, something he never expected happened.
Jiang Fan didn't even think about it. He immediately said disapprovingly,""What's so annoying about this? It's just a small matter."
Hearing Jiang Fan's words, Cheng Yaojin immediately sobered up and looked at him in a daze.
However, he quickly returned to his normal state. He felt that Jiang Fan was just a person who was talking nonsense. It was impossible for him to have any ideas. Therefore, Cheng Yaojin cursed,""What do you know? It's just a small matter!"
Jiang Fan could clearly see the other party's reaction.
He immediately knew that the other party thought he was bragging.
He immediately spoke.
"The source of your annoyance should be the settling of the soldiers after the war.”
"At this moment, there are no more battles in the country. At least, there won't be any battles for a period of time.”
"Therefore, these soldiers have nothing to do in the short term.”
" However, just because they have nothing to do doesn't mean that the government doesn't want to support them. However, the cost of supporting them is too much. Even if each of the millions of soldiers gets a hundred copper coins as a salary, it would still be an uncountable amount of money.”
"And if we leave them be, it will lead to a mutiny and the dissatisfaction of the entire nation. After all, these are men who shed their blood for the Great Tang.”
"I wonder if I'm right?"
When Jiang Fan finished speaking.
Cheng Yaojin, who was about to pour more wine, was stunned and stared at Jiang Fan.
It was because Jiang Fan's analysis was clear and logical. He had listed the most urgent matter in the court very clearly!
