The banquet was still held in the Imperial Garden

This became one of Li Mingda's exclusive areas for holding banquets, the other being the Tai Chi Hall.

As for Qujiang Pool, the most beautiful place in the Tang Dynasty, Li Mingda never considered it at all.

On the contrary, Lao Li used to like to go there often, holding banquets and so on in Qujiang Pool.

beautiful scenery

The best place for students of the Tang Dynasty to hold banquets and take their favorite girls on dates.

Countless student poets wrote poems here to commemorate the occasion.

Murong Xue would go and do some trouble even if she had nothing to do.

Almost everyone except Li Mingda likes it there.

Ask why

Salted Fish Emperor, okay?

I will never do it if I can just lie down in my bed.

Naturally, I don't have much interest in Qujiang Pool at the corner of Chang'an Street.

The Salted Fish Emperor’s Banquet Begins

Chang'an City does not follow Tubo's meaning of snow in September and October. Now is the good time. The palace maids, eunuchs and Lao Li's concubines who have nothing to do at night will come out here to have fun.

The palace maids who were originally coming to play, heard that Emperor Mingzun was going to hold a banquet, so the palace maids, eunuchs and Lao Li's family members naturally stayed far away.

The guards cleared the place in advance

Set up alert

Clean up the scene

Prepare ingredients

A lot of trouble

Fortunately, Li Mingda often does this, so Yu Xiaoqian can deal with it easily.

Li Mingda invited the ministers to come together

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were the most active, and they had another chance to eat and drink.

Especially the fine wines in Li Mingda's hands, Zuimeng and Bainiang.

The output of Zuimeng and Bainiang is increasing, but less and less of it is turned into wine. Most of it is made into alcohol by Li Mingda and used in military and medical purposes.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer Zuimeng Baijiang on the market, so rare that they are almost impossible to buy. They can only be obtained as rewards from Li Mingda.

the only way

It must mean a surge in prices

Price spikes signal value

The higher the value, the more people will buy it.

so

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde occasionally sold some money from their own treasury to cover expenses that they could not tell their families.

Occasionally, the two of them lost a lot in a bet, so they went back and forth with just a little bit of inventory.

The more you drink, the less you drink

The less, the more I want to drink

Soon the two of them were gone

What to do when the alcohol bug comes? Just find someone to drink with you.

It’s not like people don’t know how precious Zui Meng and Bai Niang are, it’s not that easy if you want to drink wine.

The two of them are not easy-going people. They are thick-skinned and can do anything. They soon became the stinking beetles on the street. No one likes them and avoids them.

Ever since

They had set their sights on Li Mingda, who had the most Zuimeng and Baijiang in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Murong Xue also had a lot of them, but they couldn't help it. Murong Xue was much smarter than them.

All kinds of moves are ineffective against Mai Murongxue. She has many smarter methods than Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chijing.

In a battle between Ichiban and Ichiban, the two of them are no match at all.

I can only give up and admit defeat.

"Old Hei, we have another chance."

"That's right"

"Drunk Dream"

"Hundred Brews"

"Hey hey hey"

"Hahaha"

The happy look of the two of them made Fang Xuanling on the side feel a little nervous.

As for that?

Isn't it just wine?

It's like he hasn't drank before

Wei Zheng patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder: "Old Fang, when will you pay back the wine you owed me last time?"

(⊙ o ⊙)Ah!

"What, since when did I owe you?"

Wei Zheng shouted with a dark face: "When did you owe me? Say it again~!"

Fang Xuanling scratched his head and comforted Wei Zheng with a smile: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, Old Wei, didn't you drink too much last time? I'll pay it back to you, I'll pay it back for sure."

"Don't do this, you have to give me all your wine tonight, do you know the interest will be calculated?"

Fang Xuanling was anxious: "That's not possible. I'll give it to you wherever I can."

"60%"

"Twenty percent"

"50%"

"Three floors"

"Four percent"

"Three percent"

"Four percent"

"Three percent"

Seeing Fang Xuanling holding on to 30%, Wei Zheng had no choice but to compromise. After all, he could drink back a little bit.

The two struck a deal

Enter hand in hand

But behind them

Li Ji and Li Jing are also negotiating

"Brother, is it time for me to drink more tonight?"

"Brother, can you change the day?"

"Brother, this is already the third time to change the day."

"Oh, well, it's just a matter of three things. Just drink more tonight."

"Um"

The two reached a consensus

Enter hand in hand

they are not all

Fortunately, Li Mingda's family members will not participate in their kind of thing.

As for most of the Zuimeng Baijiao on the market, they were sold under the instruction of Li Mingda, with Murong Xue as the leader.

The funds will be recovered as research and development funds to continue engaging in scientific and technological research and development.

It cannot be said that Li Mingda is already an emperor. Money cannot be used casually.

In fact, it is not like this. The construction of Datang requires a lot of money, and Li Mingda cannot forcefully increase taxes. It is best to get some extra money occasionally, so that there is no need to increase the burden on Datang's finances, and it can also complete some inconvenient things.
