"You guys stand at the side and watch. If you dare to run, I will definitely chase you to your house today.”Yan Lin had just turned around when he heard the red-clothed woman and the youth shouting behind him.
Yan Lin shook his head, secretly thinking that the woman behind him was too valiant.
Whoever married him would probably not be able to speak loudly for the rest of their lives.
However, what did this have to do with Yan Lin? Right now, he only wanted the red-clothed woman to compensate him and earn some money at the same time.
A plate of spicy chicken and a pot of wine brewed by Yan Lin were placed in front of the red-clothed woman.
"Shopkeeper, what is this? Why is it so fragrant?"
The moment the spicy chicken was served, it attracted the red-clothed woman's attention.
The spicy fragrance filled his nose, making him unable to stop.
The two young men who had been standing at the side, not even daring to breathe, stretched their necks at this moment.
Looking at the spicy chicken on the plate, his stomach was filled with saliva. "Chili chicken." Yan Lin stood in the distance and said with a smile.
He couldn't smell the spicy taste of chili, so he could only stand in the distance and explain.
"Chili chicken? The name is quite novel. Let me try it. If it doesn't taste good, I will definitely…"
Before the red-clothed woman could finish her sentence, she bit off a piece of spicy chicken.
The delicious food in her mouth was swallowed along with her threatening words.
The red-clothed woman looked at Yan Lin with her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
How could there be such a delicacy in this world!
"Shopkeeper, the taste is not bad. This lady is very satisfied.”A smile appeared on the red-clothed woman's face.
Yan Lin smiled and didn't answer.
Since the red-clothed woman felt that the taste was very good, she would have to prepare more food for the meal later.
Who asked you to cut the restaurant's stool in half without caring about anything?
No matter what, he had to pay some interest.
"This wine…cough cough…why is it so strong?”The red-clothed woman hugged the wine jar and drank, appearing rather forthright.
Who knew that this wine was different from the ones sold in other restaurants?
She felt as if her throat was about to burn, and she choked and coughed violently.
The people around were shocked.
This big sister was a wine barrel. In terms of drinking, she could beat them all by herself.
Why did he choke like this after just one sip of wine?
However, this wine was too fragrant.
Compared to the fragrance of the wine, the two of them felt that the wine they had eaten before was no different from water.
"This wine is so strong that ordinary people will get drunk after drinking a few mouthfuls.”Yan Lin said lightly.
"Tsk, shopkeeper, don't look down on me. Today, I'll let you see what it means to be an Immortal of Wine!”The red-clothed woman seemed to be extremely disdainful of Yan Lin's words. She stepped on the stool with one foot.
He raised the wine jar with his right hand and poured the wine into his mouth.
Yan Lin pursed his lips and thought to himself that it would be strange if he didn't collapse after drinking like this.
Although the alcohol content of this wine was not too high, there were still some that were high.
How could the wine of the Great Tang compare to this wine?
As expected, before Yan Lin could finish his sentence, the red-clothed woman collapsed on the table.
He was already drunk.
The two people who were standing did not know what had happened. They looked at the red-clothed woman in confusion.
"This…Shopkeeper, thank you so much. To save us, you actually drugged the wine.”The bearded youth seemed to have lost his mind as he cupped his hands and said to Yan Lin.
"Brother, I can't thank you enough. Farewell!”Another person said and pulled the bearded youth away.
"Brother, we'll take this spicy chicken with us. We'll return it to you in the future!”Before Yan Lin could react, he saw the bearded youth run back and turn to run.
Yan Lin clearly saw the bearded youth grab a handful of spicy chicken and stuff it into his mouth.
Then, he staggered.
I…
Yan Lin looked at the two people who had run away, then looked at the drunk woman in red, and cursed in his heart that he was unlucky today.
……
Today's court session did not end until noon.
Recently, the Great Tang had encountered some financial problems.
To put it simply, it was a war at the front and there was no money at the back.
In Taiji Palace, there were many officials attending today's court session.
(Li Tai, also known as Green Sparrow)
Gao Ming and Green Sparrow were in the hall.
Li Shi Min sat on the dragon throne and swept his gaze across the ministers. His gaze then fell on Gao Ming and Green Sparrow.
Gao Ming noticed Li Shiming's gaze and raised his head, only to find that Li Shiming's gaze had shifted away from him.
When it landed on the green sparrow, there was a hint of affection.
The hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly squeezed by Gao Ming.
Gao Ming felt very wronged. He was clearly the eldest son, so why did his father and mother treat him so differently?
"Ministers, the war ahead is intense. Now that the national treasury is empty, who has a good way to replenish the national treasury?”Li Shi Min said.
Gao Ming looked at Zhangsun Wuji. Seeing that he did not move, he could not help but feel a little anxious.
Yesterday, Zhangsun Wuji had promised to help him probe the Emperor's thoughts.
Why did he not speak at this time?
Fortunately, Fang Xuanling, who was a member of the princeling party, stepped forward in time.
"Your Majesty, I believe that if we want to enrich the national treasury, we can take back the salt and iron to the government. Salt and iron are the public implements of the country and should belong to the imperial court.”
"If the salt and iron are returned to the government, the national treasury can be filled!”
Last night, Zhangsun Wuji had secretly visited Fang Xuanling because he wanted him to raise this suggestion at the court meeting today.
It was a huge profit to take back the salt and iron to the government. Li Shi Min was tempted.
They would definitely set up salt and iron transport envoys in various parts of the Great Tang to be responsible for the transportation of salt and iron.
Everyone knew how lucrative this position was.
The national treasury was short of money, and so was Li Chengqian's Eastern Palace.
If they could get a few transport emissaries, the Eastern Palace would have enough confidence to rope in the officials of the court.
Moreover, by asking for the position of transport envoy for the Eastern Palace, he could also find out Li Shiming's attitude towards Gao Ming.
Just as Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling had planned, Li Shimin was tempted.
If he had so much money, he could do many things that he wanted to do.
Li Shi Min clenched his fists, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
" Your Majesty, this matter is extremely inappropriate…" Liu Zhenghui walked out with a shocked expression.
Liu Zhenghui was the Great Tang's Minister of Revenue, the manager of the Great Tang's money pouch.
No one had expected that he would be the first to stand up against it.
After all, according to common sense, he should be the most supportive.
He was the Minister of Revenue, after all.
"What do you mean?" Li Shi Min was just thinking of making a fortune when he was interrupted by Liu Zheng Hui, feeling a little unhappy.
"This is snatching food from the people. As time passes, it will become chaotic!”
"Salt and iron are related to the stability of the Great Tang, and we cannot allow merchants to control them.”
"If we take it back to the Imperial Court, do you think we will sell it to the people at a high price?”
"Minister, do you not trust the ministers or His Majesty?”
Zhangsun Wuji said as he placed a heavy hat on Liu Zhenghui's head.
Liu Zhenghui was rendered speechless.
"Your Majesty, the Duke is right. We agree!”
Zhangsun Wuji had already spoken, and it was obvious that the Emperor also had this idea.
Naturally, the ministers would not want to go against Zhangsun Wuji and the Emperor.
