Among the six departments, except for the two ministries of the Ministry of Rites, the other four are handed over to the four princes who stayed in Beijing, but the four princes are still young after all, among the four, the eldest prince Qin Wang Ji Yu is only twenty-seven or eight years old now, and the youngest seventh prince Ji Wen is only twenty-three years old this year.

These princes, on the surface, are six Shangshu, but in fact they are just hanging names, learning how to govern in each department, and each ministry is actually in charge of the left servant lang of each department.

In other words, the four of them are just "honorary scholars".

Take the two princes of Siqi as an example, although they are in the position of Shangshu, they don't have to go to "work" every day, and the seventh prince Ji Wen even has time to go to Li Xin's house often.

That is to say, although the fourth prince Ji Huan controls the military department, but he can't decide all the things of the military department, if the liquor made by the Wei Wangfu is easy to use, there is no reason for the military department not to come to purchase, which is something that His Royal Highness the King of Qi can't stop.

When it was almost dark, the Seventh Prince left Li Xin to eat in the mansion, and Li Xin nodded after a little hesitation.

Originally, the relationship between the two of them was to be avoided a little, after all, Li Xin was doing things in Yulin Wei, but looking at the current situation, it is estimated that he can't hide it, and even His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince knows that Li Xin is going to the Wei Palace.

Since the four princes knew, there was no reason why the Chengde Son of Heaven should not know.

In fact, there is nothing great about standing in line and standing in line openly, it's a big deal that Li Xin won't do things in Yulinwei in the future.

In the backyard of the Wei Palace, a low table was set up, and a few side dishes and a pot of sake were placed on the low table.

The reason why I didn't use the new wine I made today was because the wine was so strong that I definitely couldn't drink it for the time being, and people like Li Xin, who were used to drinking liquor, couldn't stand it.

Two people sit across the table.

Li Xin picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for the Seventh Prince, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I can't help you with the affairs of the court, it all depends on you to get through it yourself, and this matter of liquor entering the army must be done!" ”

After all, the Seventh Prince didn't know as much about the importance of this liquor as Li Xin, he frowned slightly, and asked, "Why?" ”

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "This is a good political capital! ”

"This kind of high-purity wine can at least reduce the mortality rate of wounded soldiers by more than half, once every army in the Great Jin Dynasty becomes dependent on this kind of military supplies, His Highness does not have to do anything, he can have a certain say in the military!"

The Seventh Emperor straightened up and said softly: "As Brother Xin said, this kind of liquor really has such a miraculous effect, and the Father Emperor will not let us specialize in it." ”

Imperial power is strongly exclusive, and once this liquor enters the military and proves to have miraculous effects, the Chengde Emperor will definitely find a way to take this thing into his own hands, which is almost inevitable.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

"Your Highness, that's what I'm talking about!"

"Your Highness's deal with the imperial court must be completed, but after it is completed, you must not think about making money, and the spirits we give to the imperial court will be given to them according to the cost, or even at a loss!"

Li Xin said in a low voice: "When these spirits are proven to be really useful, Your Majesty will most likely think about it, and when the time comes, Your Highness will take the initiative to offer this recipe for steaming wine without waiting for Your Majesty to speak!" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei was shocked in his heart, and he turned his face to look at the young man in front of him.

Li Xin's face was firm: "Your Highness, without that position, all the interests in front of you are fleeting, and now you must sell it well in front of Your Majesty, and in the future, if you sit in that position, no matter what you pay, it will still be yours!" ”

The Seventh Prince lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and slowly exhaled: "I can understand what Brother Xin said, the liquor can't be used to the imperial court, so there's no need to give them a loss......"

Ji Wen smiled bitterly at Li Xin: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that the Wei Wangfu has not been very wealthy in recent years......"

This His Royal Highness King Wei is indeed not a stingy person, which can be seen from when he wooed Li Xin, but at this time, King Wei's Mansion does not have much money, once this business is completed, it will usher in a number of orders, even if a jar of wine loses a little bit, it will add up to a huge number!

Li Xin glanced at Ji Wen deeply.

"Your Highness, you also know that this transaction will be taken over by His Majesty in the end, and when he takes this over, he will find that the price we gave to the court is a loss, and then Your Majesty will appreciate the loyalty and filial piety of your son, Your Highness."

Li Xin's face was solemn: "Your Highness, you can't buy such a thing as a holy family, and as for this loss, I am sure that I can make up for it in the private business." ”

"This is a major matter related to that position, Your Highness must not cover his eyes because of the small profit in front of him!"

Hearing this, Ji Wen completely understood what Li Xin's purpose was.

From the very beginning, this young man not only wanted to use this liquor to make money, but also to use this liquor to seek a future for the Wei Palace!

Ji Wen stood up and bent slightly at Li Xin, with a solemn expression: "Brother Xin'er is really a national soldier!" ”

Li Xin got up and returned the salute, and laughed softly: "Your Highness doesn't need to be so polite, now I am working for Your Highness, I am seeking for myself, there is still a behemoth in southern Xinjiang watching me, if there is no Your Highness, Li Xin will die of old age, and he will not be able to shake this behemoth in the slightest." ”

The Seventh Prince said solemnly: "Brother Xin'er, don't worry, if I get what I want in the future, I will definitely let Brother Xin get what I want!" ”

Li Xin glanced up at Ji Wen.

"Is Your Highness serious?"

His Royal Highness King Wei looked serious.

"Naturally, take it seriously."

Li Xin smiled meaninglessly.

The temperament of this prince, Li Xin can see it a little now, the seventh prince Ji Wen, although he has some sincerity towards himself, and he is also willing to listen to his own plans, but he more or less has some selfishness of his own.

It's not surprising that people have selfish intentions, Li Xin also has his own selfishness, for now, the character of the Seventh Prince, Li Xin is acceptable.

A good pair of monarchs and ministers will never be a friend relationship, but a relationship of mutual use.

Li Xin smiled and said: "I believe in Your Highness, since this is the case, Your Highness's workshop will be opened as soon as possible, and after the first batch of spirits is produced, I will help Your Highness sell this batch of spirits." ”

Ji Wen smiled: "This wine hasn't been named yet, Brother Xin will give it a name?" ”

Li Xin said softly: "How about calling it King Wei wine?" ”

Sooner or later, this kind of wine will be introduced into the army, and at this time, it is a very helpful thing to label him as the Seventh Prince, which is very helpful to the prestige of the Wei Palace.

The Seventh Prince patted his thigh and laughed: "Okay, it's called King Wei Wine!" ”

He laughed heartily: "In the past, I was in the capital, and I just wanted to try to grab it, but now with Brother Xin'er, I feel that I have found my way to go!" ”

Li Xin poured him a glass of wine and said lightly: "There is something I have to tell Your Highness." ”

"What?"

Li Xin said softly: "When I came to His Royal Highness here during the day today, the palanquin of His Royal Highness King Qi stopped me, saying that he wanted me to find time to go to King Qi's mansion and visit him. ”

Ji Wen's complexion changed slightly.

Li Xin just looked at him quietly.
