confronted a prince and a royal family member in public, but in the end he was only confined to his home for a month, and there was nothing else to dispose of, even if he occupied a rational word, it would not be so light. Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Li Shimin is favoring Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng knew that he no longer defended anything, honestly accepted the punishment, and went back.

If it was in normal times, Xia Hongsheng would definitely be so happy to be grounded, how good it is to hide in his own house to eat, sleep, sleep and play, it is simply the dream life. And there are reasons that others can't refute, which can be justified, and no one can say anything.

But now the military academy is under construction, and the 300 soldiers inside are also preparing every day for drills and responding to the questions of the emperor and the generals, and the momentum can be described as crazy. Ma Zhou and the others had to take turns patrolling at night, urging those who stayed up late to study those military books to sleep. The glass has just come out of the finished product and can be mass-produced, but at this juncture, Xia Hongsheng was grounded, so naturally he couldn't stay at home with peace of mind.

The news that Xia Hongsheng, Li Chengqian, and Li Ke were all grounded soon spread to the ears of those gentlemen, Xia Hongsheng stayed at home, and also heard that Li Shimin summoned Li Yuanchang into the palace and admonished him, so there was no follow-up. Xia Hongsheng said in his heart, there must be Li Yuan's reason for this. Tang established the country with benevolence and filial piety, and Li Shimin, as the emperor, naturally had to set an example, even on the surface, he had to make a filial piety to Li Yuan, after all, Li Yuan was still the emperor, and Li Shimin had already killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, this Li Yuanchang was not too harsh. Otherwise, it will be true. Li Yuan couldn't explain it either.

Days of being confined to your home. Ma Zhou went to Xia Hongsheng's home every day to explain to Xia Hongsheng the construction of the military academy and the training of those sergeants. On Zhuangzi, Steward Tian will also come over in three or two days to report the glass and cement matters to Xia Hongsheng.

Although I was anxious, I could only stay at home, and I felt as if the days were passing slowly, and after only six days of confinement at home, I already felt as if a few months had passed.

On this day, I was writing about the Three Kingdoms in the study, and I heard someone outside asking to see me. He came in, but it was the king's treasurer.

"Shopkeeper Wang?" Xia Hongsheng saw that it was him, so he came over and got up to let him in.

"Little one, meet Master Hou!" The shopkeeper saluted, and then walked in.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, let him sit down, and asked, "What's the matter, but what's going on in the wine shop?" ”

"Master Hou, everything is going well in the winery, and the grain merchants who cooperate with them have already sent grain according to the contract, and now the raw materials are all in place. It's time to turn around. The shopkeeper Wang said to Xia Hongsheng: "The wine in the wine shop can already start mass production. It's just that there are two problems with the small one. I want to come and ask Master Hou. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said.

"This is the first one that was left behind. In the past, because we were insufficient, we couldn't produce it in large quantities, so we had to sell it in limited quantities. At that time, it attracted many bids from princes and nobles. If we were to produce a large number of things all at once, wouldn't it make them think that we had deceived them before, and that they had spent so much effort and money to buy things, but now they could buy them for very little money. Shopkeeper Wang said: "Small worries will make these people dissatisfied, and they are precisely our biggest business. The little one thought about it, but he never thought of a way, so he had to hold this old face to ask the Hou Ye for advice. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded clearly, he understood the problem of the shopkeeper Wang, it was nothing more than that he had not made a large amount of wine before, so he had made the wine hungry marketing, which caused a big premium. Now it can be mass-produced, so what was sold at the beginning was very expensive and could not be bought, but now it can be bought for a small amount of money, so I am afraid that those who have already bought it will be unbalanced.

"It's nothing." Xia Hongsheng thought for a while and said to the shopkeeper Wang: "You must know that those people who bought wine before, what they bought was not wine, but face. So now as long as they can still get those drinks to give them face, then they won't feel worthless. ”

"Dare to ask Master Hou, how should the little one be managed?" Shopkeeper Wang asked.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "It's easy to save their face." Do you still remember that when we promoted new tea in Mingxiangju, there was a membership system? The king's shopkeeper can use this system to a good use! Those who have sold our wine before this time have been promoted to top members by themselves. Then the new wines were repackaged in new packaging, and the previous ones were declared limited editions, and they were never produced again, there were only so many in the world. In this way, wouldn't those who had sold alcohol before be more face-saving? In this way, how can you be unwilling? ”

When the shopkeeper Wang heard Xia Hongsheng's words, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said happily: "Master Hou is really a genius!" The little ones know what to do! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and there was no need to say more. The shopkeeper is good at this, and if he gives him the idea, he will be able to draw inferences and know what to do.

"The second thing is that the little one wants to ask Childe. Now that our winery can already steam a large amount of wine, it is time to spread it out on a large scale. The previous momentum has been not small, and now it is being promoted on a large scale, and the small ones think that they need an opportunity to carry out another pre-promotion campaign. The shopkeeper Wang said to Xia Hongsheng: "So the little one is thinking, can we hold a civil and military conference in the name of the winery!" When we first launched new tea in Luoyang, we happened to meet the Luoyang Poetry Club and Douhuakui, so we took the opportunity to participate in it. Now there are no such grand events in Chang'an City, and the small ones want to do it ourselves, so that no matter whether they are scholars or those rangers, they will all know the reputation of our winery, and they will all taste our wine, and in the future, this way will be opened! ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned, he didn't expect the shopkeeper Wang to think of this. Even Xia Hongsheng himself didn't think about this.

"Good!" Xia Hongsheng thought about it for a while, and immediately high-fived and said: "The shopkeeper Wang's strategy is very good!" I will discuss with other shareholders, we can organize a large-scale civil and military competition, literati fighting poetry, martial arts fighting, and finally a wine fight, making this a world event, so that who else in the world can not know our wine, can not know our wine? Shopkeeper Wang, you should first draw up a charter for me, and then I will convene the shareholders to discuss. ”

"Yes!" Seeing that his opinion was affirmed, the shopkeeper Wang happily agreed: "The little one will retire!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and sent the shopkeeper away.

At the beginning of the winery's business, the profits will reach an astonishing level, and when the time comes, more can be done.

After sending off the shopkeeper Wang, Xia Hongsheng looked at the time, it was already noon, so he didn't write again.

When I walked into the backyard, I saw that I didn't know when Xu Qixian's brother and sister came, and they were talking to their sister-in-law there.

"Why are you here?" Xia Hongsheng looked at them: "Why didn't anyone call me?" ”

"Seeing that the king's shopkeeper came to you, he knew that you had something to discuss, so he didn't let anyone disturb you." Xu Qixian said to Xia Hongsheng: "What's the matter, but what's the matter with the winery?" ”

Xu Qixian is also one of the shareholders, so there is no need to hide it, so Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "Yes, the grain of the previous cooperative grain merchants has been delivered and can start large-scale production." Shopkeeper Wang came to me to discuss and see if it could be held by the winery once like last year's Luoyang Poetry Club or Douhuakui, and then take advantage of the situation to push away the liquor in the winery on a large scale. ”

"Poetry Club?" Xu Qixian's eyes lit up: "Okay!" ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "It's not just a poetry meeting, literati fighting poetry, martial arts competition, and then fighting wine, if it is well managed, it will definitely be a grand event in the world at that time." After that, the name of liquor was completely launched in Datang. When the time comes, we can count the money and count the cramps! ”

"Humph! Avarice! Xu Hui pouted on the side and looked at Xia Hongsheng and Xu Qixian with disdain, in protest against Xia Hongsheng ignoring her.

In fact, it's not to ignore it, Xia Hongsheng just felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. If there were only two people here, there would be nothing, but Xu Qixian and his sister-in-law were there, and it would be a little cramped.

Xia Hongsheng sat down next to him, and only talked to Xu Qixian about him, Xu Qixian couldn't see Xia Hongsheng's embarrassment, and said while laughing: "It's still early for lunch, it's really boring to sit in this room, why don't you go out for a walk and live a little bit." ”

The sister-in-law nodded yes and let the three of them leave the back hall. The three of them walked towards the garden, and they didn't go far before they heard Xu Qixian suddenly pat his head again and said, "I suddenly remembered that something was left in the hall, and I will go back and get it!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and hurried away. Xia Hongsheng and Xu Hui couldn't understand his intentions, so they blushed.

There were only two people left, Xia Hongsheng scratched his head, and said to Xu Hui: "Let's go to the pavilion and sit and wait?" ”

Xu Hui nodded, and the two went to the pavilion and sat down.

Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Thank you for coming to see me, it's really boring to stay at home all day." ”

"I can't complain about others, who made you so bold?" Xu Hui pursed his lips: "Daddy said that His Majesty deliberately favored you, if you change someone else, it will be far from being grounded!" You are really, just for a Qinglou woman...... Hmph, isn't she good-looking? ”

Hey this little vinegar jar!

Xia Hongsheng grinned: "It's not, hehe, it's not as good-looking as you!" It's just that I knew each other when I was in Luoyang before...... Do you remember when I was in Luoyang, when I was fighting Oiran, I helped someone write a notebook......"

"It's not pretty! Isn't that the Oiran?! Xu Hui pouted: "You must also have bad intentions towards others!" ”

Xia Hongsheng obediently kept his mouth shut, knowing that it was unclear with the woman on this issue.

"You're still acquiescing!" Xu Hui's mouth pursed higher, raised his powder fist and smacked it on Xia Hongsheng's arm, his big eyes glared at Xia Hongsheng and rolled his eyes: "Deng's disciple!" (To be continued......)
