Wanbaoshan did not join in the laughter of the crowd, and took a sip of Dalu wine that had been treasured for many years and continued: "Everyone in China likes to drink Dalu wine made from pure grains, but how many people know the origin of Dalu wine?

!”

"Appreciate further details!"

Wanbaoshan drank the wine in the bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "It is rumored that two hundred years ago, wars continued every year in various countries, and the people were miserable. In order to keep the soldiers who were defending the city well fed, clothed, and strong enough to resist foreign enemies, there was a city

The people in the small village spontaneously donated the remaining food and cotton clothes and quilts in their homes to the soldiers defending the city. After the war ended, the generals who defended the city at that time returned the food to this man named Dalu as soon as they received the food and grass support.

A small village. But what he didn't expect was that the people in the village starved to death and froze to death due to lack of food and clothing. They couldn't even find straw mats to cover the bodies of their relatives in the village.

came out because they were all given to the soldiers guarding the city. In order to commemorate the village, the brewers in the city brewed this Dalu wine with pure grains and sold it to the surrounding people at a very low price. I just hope that everyone can afford to drink this

A wine that warms the heart.”

"It's really a sad and beautiful story," said the fat man.

Wanbaoshan picked up the wine glass and said: "Let us respect these respectable people together, for their selfless dedication and their great love, do it!"

"Do it!" Everyone responded to the call and drank it all in one gulp.

Wanbaoshan looked around at the crowd and slowly said: "Over the years, everyone has made a lot of money, and our parents are also poor people. It's time to repay them. The price of each family can be reduced.

If it is lowered a little, the common people will have a way to survive, and we traders will not die of hunger. What do you think?"

People at the table looked at each other, but no one spoke to me.

Wanbaoshan is not angry either. He knows that getting these profit-seeking businessmen to take the initiative to lower prices is as difficult as taking money from their pockets.

Finally, a fat man with big ears couldn't help but said: "President Wan, with all due respect, even if we lower the price, there are only a few purchase channels. If they don't lower the price for us, there will be a lot of people behind us."

People need to make a living, it’s not that brothers don’t give you face, it’s just that business is hard to do these days.”

"Yes, yes!" everyone agreed.

Wanbaoshan smiled and said: "I don't have to force you to

We lower the price, whether to lower it or not is your freedom, I don’t want to force you to do so. But starting from tomorrow, we, Wanzi Trading Company, will reduce the price of all goods by 10%. Since Anjiang Association can do it, I, Wan, as the Annan Road Chamber of Commerce, will

Naturally, we cannot lag behind when we grow up. The common people have their own scales in their hearts, and they can clearly understand who is good and who is bad. If you have nothing to do, you can go out and listen to what the people of Annan Road say about the Anjiang Society. Although it is a gangster gang, it never bullies the people.

, The prices of the goods are fair, but they are never lacking. It is no wonder that the company has developed so well in such a short period of time.”

After the dinner was over and everyone had left, the big shopkeeper of Qinhuo Trading Company found Wanbaoshan. Seeing no one around, he cautiously asked: "President Wan, can you tell me whether this Anjiang Club has a good background?"

, the entire Annan Road Chamber of Commerce has pursued and intercepted them for so many days with no effect at all, and I recently heard that their new store is about to open, which is really evil. And I heard that they were destroyed overnight.

Qinglong Gang, Boss Zhao was so powerful and powerful at that time, he had everything he wanted."

Wanbaoshan did not answer directly and said: "Brother, please stop thinking nonsense. Everything they do is to benefit the people, and the government doesn't care. How can we guess."

After the big shopkeeper of Qinhuo Trading Company left, Wanbaoshan called his adopted son Wan Guhai and ordered: "Gu Hai, inform the big shopkeepers of Wanzi Trading Company that the prices of all goods will be reduced by another 10% from the original price. Also, it's okay.

Stay with Xinliu, you are now a grown man, I am worried about you."

Wan Guhai scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Father, how could the eldest lady like a clumsy person like me? You'd better care about yourself. It's been almost five years since my wife left.

Don’t you plan to get married?”

"You stinky brat, as soon as I get on your nerves, you just hit me and see if I don't slap you!" Wanbaoshan pretended to hit him, but Wangu jumped out like a hare.

In the dead of night, the Qingyuan Hall is brightly lit, and Emperor Zhu Chengyuan has been awake all night from yesterday to now. But Lai Si and Wang Yongyong in the hall are complaining. Since they were urgently summoned into the palace by His Majesty the Emperor last night, except for the two above the morning meeting, they secretly squinted.

After a while, I spent the rest of the time by His Majesty's side, studying the border terrain map and the urgent military report from Northern Xinjiang wrapped in brown paper.

Wang Yongwen broke the silence and took the lead to speak: "Your Majesty, after much thought, I still feel that Anli and Chen Bing with one hundred thousand soldiers are not the right ones at this time.

Really want to start a war with us."

The emperor said "Oh" and motioned for him to continue.

"Between my ministers, if the Anli people wanted to start a war with our Northern Xinjiang cavalry, they would not just gather these 100,000 people. Our country's 150,000 Northern Xinjiang cavalry is no secret to other countries.

If you want to swallow up Northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop, unless the Anli people are crazy, they will definitely not gather just this mere 100,000 people." Wang Yongwen asserted.

Lai Si also spoke at this time: "According to what General Tang said in his letter, these 100,000 people only have cavalry and no other siege equipment. I also think this is strange."

Zhu Chengyuan thought for a moment, then took out another secret report from the desk and handed it to the two of them, saying: "The Inspectorate's spy report in Anli revealed that the hardliners in Anliguo were originally the ones leading the war, but recently, for some unknown reason, they were fighting against those who advocated peace.

The old minister put on a pair of trousers. Not only did he not mention the war, but his usually arrogant and domineering temperament also became much more restrained, which is very strange."

Lai Si said: "During the morning court this morning, I have been thinking about whether there is something wrong within Anliguo. From the secret reports sent back from all parties, it is not difficult to see that the conservatives who originally supported Zuoxian Wang Wanyannuhan

The hard-liners who supported Youxian Wang Wanyanchi suddenly changed from normal and stopped dog-eat-dog. There are signs that they have merged into one regardless of their previous grievances, and it seems that they have reached some consensus."

The emperor smiled and said: "What were you thinking about this morning? But how come I saw you two sleeping so soundly standing up this morning."

Lai Si lowered his head and clasped his fists and smiled: "Your Majesty, while I was closing my eyes to rest my mind, I was also worrying about military and national affairs. This way I can think more clearly."

Wang Yongwen also clasped his fists and echoed: "I am the same."

"Fuck you, you two are pretending to be so noble in front of me." The emperor laughed and scolded.

Lai Si continued: "Your Majesty, if it is as I said, King Anri Wanyan Hongli must be brewing something big."

The emperor stared at the map on the table and suddenly asked a topic that had nothing to do with this matter: "What do you think of the alliance relationship between Anliguo and Qingqiuguo?"

Wang Yongwen replied: "Judging from the past situation, if there is a war, Qingqiu will definitely help us with all our resources. Whether it is money or troops, Qingqiu has never been stingy."
