The emperor was made to laugh: "My appreciation of Mu Yunhan's errands, what does it have to do with you, Ah Lin? Why do you also want to thank me?"
Gu Fenglin said seriously: "Mu Yunhan is my fiancée. Your Majesty rewards her as much as you reward the minister. Of course I must express my gratitude."
"Look at him, he's so thick-skinned!"
The emperor couldn't help laughing, poured two glasses of wine with his own hands, and asked the palace servants to serve them to him and the two of them: "In that case, I will reward you two with another glass of wine. I hope you will live in harmony and do your best for the country of Zhao."
Mu Yunhan and Gu Fenglin knelt side by side, thanked each other again, and drank the wine together, feeling sweet in their hearts.
All the ministers laughed and laughed in agreement, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.
However, Concubine Jiang, mother and son, and the Jiang family were extremely angry, and their hearts trembled.
Mu Yunhan sat back in his seat and raised his head, only to see Jiang Yun smiling and toasting to her in the distance.
She didn't blink or squint, just pretending she didn't see it.
Jiang Yun didn't take it seriously and drank all the wine in his glass, then praised: "It's really good wine!"
The emperor became interested: "Envoy Jiang also thinks our wine is good?"
Jiang Yundao: "The Tao is from the State of Zhao, and it is true that the best wine in the State of Qi is the best."
The emperor laughed loudly: "Envoy Jiang has been here for so long, and he finally told the truth."
Jiang Yun said seriously: "Therefore, your majesty, please give me some dignity."
Mu Yunhan suddenly became alert.
Sure enough, I heard Jiang Yundao: "My lord has never tasted this wine, and I feel sad when I think about it."
It was rare that when a Qi person said that he was inferior to Zhao, the emperor raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Why don't I give some to the Emperor of Qi?"
Jiang Yunwei said: "Your Majesty is so generous, my Lord will definitely be very grateful.
But my family has many descendants, and the clan is even more prosperous, with more than a thousand people at least.
Everyone is not worried about scarcity but inequality, so at least one person should have one altar..."
Even if it is a small jar containing five kilograms, if calculated as a thousand jars, it would still cost five thousand kilograms.
What's more, there are no small jars of five kilograms in the Medicinal Food Hall, all of which are more than ten kilograms.
Calculating this, how much is it?
It’s almost the same amount as Jiang Yun wanted before.
The emperor was not a generous person, but he also liked to make a fool of himself.
This expense will most likely fall on Mu Yunhan.
Even if I can't give away so much, I will always ask for a few hundred altars.
Doesn’t that mean it’s true to the saying, if I give you money and you don’t want it, then I’ll let you give it away for free.
Just as Mu Yunhan was trying to find a suitable reason to refuse, Gu Fenglin already smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Qi's copper and iron are also very good."
Gu Yilan also said calmly: "Exactly, I remember that one year I captured a group of thieves. The weapons were extremely sharp. When I asked, they were obtained from Qi State."
Everyone present remembered that incident.
It was a group of bandits who went deep into the interior from the border of Zhao State, occupied the mountain and became king, killed countless people, even killed a local official, and took away the city.
Zhao State spent a lot of manpower and material resources to wipe out these bandits, and found that their weapons came from Qi State.
After an investigation, it was found that this matter was closely related to Qi State.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were extremely angry, but without strong evidence, they had no choice but to let it go.
Gu Yilan and Gu Fenglin mentioned this matter, which suddenly aroused everyone's anger.
The emperor was also very unhappy and laughed: "You are so stingy, didn't you just give me a jar of wine? Are you so reluctant to part with it?" (To be continued)
