Chapter 688: Back to the Door
Li Dongyang and Lao Yunwang came to the banquet hall side by side, and before they got close, they heard that life was boiling, which was called a lively one.
Seeing the two of them coming in, someone immediately got up to greet him, Li Dongyang's eyes swept around, and the coming today was not complete, and some old ministers who looked like old foxes did not appear.
It seems that the prohibition has made many people see the meaning behind it, as for whether the people attending now have not seen through it, it is estimated that it is impossible, and there is a sentence called seeing through it and not saying it.
Li Dongyang responded with a smile, this time the four kings did not come around, but sat in place to watch the play, none of these four guys were fools.
King Rui looked at Li Dongyang's expression a little complicated, in fact, he preferred to pull Li Dongyang into his camp, but unfortunately the Zhenguo Mansion has always flaunted neutrality and did not give him a chance at all.
In this case, the Zhenguo Mansion can only fall.
"Li Shizi, alas, you have hurt everyone." A Qin Gongzi who thought he had a good relationship with Li Dongyang leaned over and said, sighing.
"What's the matter, my brother has been honest these days, and he has been staying in the house and not coming out to trouble others." Li Dongyang said as if it was true or false.
Saying this, Qin Gongzi rolled his eyes, this newlywed period is when honey blends oil, even if he is him, he will not come out to trouble others.
"Alas, Li Shizi, there is a saying that people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven, have you heard it?" Qin Gongzi said.
"Of course, I'm not illiterate, so how could I never have heard such a thing." Li Dongyang gave a roll of his eyes, and Qin Gongzi sighed again.
At this time, Xu Juncai and several people also rushed over, and immediately gathered together to discuss the catastrophe in the sky.
The summary is one sentence: Li Shizi, you are too arrogant, you get all the officials drunk, and then offend the people who cannot be offended, and we will not be able to drink in the future.
This matter, hehe, Li Dongyang smiled, I don't believe that these guys don't understand the truth behind it, these heads may not be enough, but the heads of the people behind them are definitely enough.
"If you don't give it to drink, you won't drink it, and it will save you a lot of money, you don't have to drink when you go to the Qinglou in the future, you just do it when you take off your pants, how much money you have to save."
Li Dongyang made a joke, and everyone immediately followed the joy when they heard it, Xu Juncai patted Li Dongyang on the shoulder, can you say that this buddy has a really good mentality!
These irrelevant people all sweated suddenly after hearing this, and this stunned person didn't react at all.
"Brother Bang, aren't you worried about your business?" Xu Juncai asked in a low voice.
No matter how quiet it is, there are many martial arts practitioners here, and they pricked up their ears one by one, wanting to see what this prince has in mind.
The four kings also pricked up their ears, they all knew that the prohibition order was coming for Li Dongyang, and if it was cracked, it was estimated that the emperor would vomit blood in anger.
"What's there to worry about, I'm not short of money, if I really want to get silver, take out a pill and it's over."
Li Dongyang snatched the folding fan in Zhang Hao's hand and shook it a few times, not to mention that he was really graceful.
As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to react, yes, think about the fact that a pill in the ghost market cost tens of millions, Li Dongyang has a big backer behind him, and there is no shortage of pills.
A prince who is not short of pills, is he short of money?
So whose interests did this prohibition hurt? Everyone looked at each other, and then silently set their eyes on the palace, and it was self-evident whose interests were harmed.
The liquor industry is also one of the important sources of tax revenue in Longyuan Kingdom, and now that the prohibition of alcohol has been issued, the tax revenue of Longyuan Country will be reduced by at least 20%, and the tax revenue will be less, and the treasury will naturally be empty
No, the treasury is empty now, so where does Long Yuan's money and military resonance come from? Where does the cost of building bridges and roads come from?
Hehe, some people reacted and couldn't help but laugh, feeling that the emperor had taken a big streak of chess, but I didn't know if the emperor would be angry when he reacted.
With a prince who is not bad for money, this really can't afford to fight.
King Rui clenched the folding fan in his hand, his heart jumped suddenly, I don't know who is the last to take the blame, it won't fall on his head, right?
Knowing that Li Dongyang was not short of money, those sons who had no alcohol to drink shouted for Li Dongyang to treat them and compensate them for their losses.
Li Dongyang spread his hands and said to King Yun with a smile: "Father, I am a fortune boy, you see that I am married to Fengyang, but you have saved money for drinks." ”
King Yun rolled his eyes, this is a cheap and obedient thing, I don't know if this word will be angry when it reaches the emperor's ears.
"It really saved a lot, and I'll give Fengyang a pair of fist-sized gems when I go back." King Yun is also a black-bellied, and he is even more of a daughter who loves his daughter, helping Li Dongyang to be angry.
With the issuance of the alcohol ban, today's Yunwang Mansion banquet guests directly have less money for drinks, how to calculate how to make money, and make a lot of money.
Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this, thinking that they couldn't drink wine today, and couldn't help but regret it, what a good opportunity to let go of their stomachs and drink a lot, but unfortunately they couldn't drink it.
Because there is no wine today, the banquet is very deserted, everyone is still eating vegetables in addition to eating, fortunately the dishes are good, otherwise the meat will really hurt to death.
Li Dongyang, Lin Ce, Xu Juncai and others were at the same table, and several young people were talking and laughing, but they didn't have to drink, their greedy mouths kept slugging, and their faces were painful.
Looking at the expressions of several people, Li Dongyang smiled very unkindly, but they wanted to drink, and it was estimated that there would be a period of waiting.
The emperor is a face-to-face person, and he can't change the order overnight, which will make people look down on him, so after this ban is issued, it must be implemented.
For better or worse, it takes a while to execute.
Well, you can do something during this time, although you won't directly attack the courtiers, and let the people scold them a few words.
Li Dongyang was thinking about how to calculate others while eating, and his smile became even thicker.
Xu Juncai shrunk his neck, and intuitively felt that Brother Bang was calculating people, but fortunately, he and Brother Bang were good friends, and Brother Bang would not attack him, otherwise there would be no place to cry.
"Dongzi, has your appointment been made?" Li Dongyang looked at Lin Dong, who had been eating, and asked.
"Alas, no." Lin Dong sighed, his face a little unsightly.
Xu Juncai looked at Lin Dong, then at Li Dongyang, and whispered: "His appointment has been squeezed down, and he can't enter the office this year." ”
Oh! Li Dongyang rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked up with ridicule, I didn't expect the emperor to be really stingy, but he was just a seventh-grade petty official, just because Lin Dong was friendly with him, would he take it back?
If you want to say that you are being topped, Li Dongyang doesn't believe it, and it is impossible not to even plan for his own son to be released, unless the person who intervenes is the emperor.
"And what are your plans?" Li Dongyang asked again, and Xu Juncai and the others listened with their ears.
"I plan to travel, since I can't get into the office, then I will walk more and see more to increase my experience."
Lin Dong thought about it and said, although he was still a little sad in his heart, he didn't want Li Dongyang to see that this was his Lin family's business, so that he wouldn't be angry with Brother Bang.
