Datang: I show my cards, I am the emperor

Chapter 22 The shopkeeper, I'm annoyed [new book collection].

Wang Chen picked up the small wine jar and poured a full glass for himself and Li Shimin.

This is what he heard Li Shimin inadvertently say last time, after high-grade wine can make money, he deliberately processed and added ingredients to brew it.

The degree has been able to catch up with ordinary liquor, and the so-called spirits of this era can be hung up and beaten.

Li Shimin looked at the slightly clear wine in his glass, picked it up and smelled it.

Immediately a little overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol.

Nima, I haven't drunk this yet!

However, feeling Wang Chen's gaze, he couldn't admit it, so he could only stubbornly pick up the wine glass and send it to his mouth.

"Ahem, ahem!".

As soon as he drank half a cup, Li Shimin immediately coughed violently.

The whole face was coughing red.

Wang Chen hurriedly got up and patted Li Shimin's back to help him smooth out.

Then he poured a bowl of water and placed it in front of Li Shimin's table.

"Look at you Lao Li, don't let you do it, you have to drink hard. "

"Come, come, drink the water, clear your throat!".

Li Shimin coughed a few more times, picked up the water and drank it all, so he didn't react so much.

"Shopkeeper Wang, what are you doing with this wine, it's really weird. "

"I deliberately drank it slowly, but I didn't expect the wine to reach my throat, and I still couldn't choke it. "

Wang Chen explained with a slight meaning: "Didn't you say that the spirits are easy to sell last time, I deliberately increased the intensity, but you said that there is really someone who can drink this wine?"

Seeing Wang Chen's serious expression of questioning him, Li Shimin pondered for a moment.

"There's definitely a market for a spirit like this, I may not be able to stand it, but there are always people who love to drink it. "

"It's just that you still have to make this wine smoother, it can be strong, but not too choking. "

Wang Chen suddenly realized.

"What you say makes sense, then there's no hurry, I'll try again. "

So saying, he sealed the jar again, set it aside, and went to the wine cabinet to get two jars of wine that he drank normally.

"Come on, come on, eat first, and then drink some of this wine you can. "

After the two pushed the cup and changed the lamp a few times, Wang Chen took the initiative to open the conversation box and said, "Lao Li, didn't you say anything troublesome before?"

"You might as well speak up, and I'll enlighten you. "

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

Wang Chen didn't mention this, he almost forgot.

But since he talked about it, Li Shimin almost had a stomach full of words to spit out.

Li Er drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then sighed.

"When it comes to boredom, I'm really depressed. "

"Actually, he is an old housekeeper in my family, who is good at everything, but he likes to dissuade my words and deeds. "

"I'm too straight, and my temper is a little tough, I don't care if I do it once or twice, but I'm a little unbearable after five times. "

"After all, to put it mildly, I am also his master's family, so I am naturally upset when I am often dissuaded and discouraged by such a faceless person. "

Wang Chen didn't care about this, but said casually: "Then don't you ask him to leave, don't you hear it out of sight and out of mind?"

"You have to see that he is old, so give him an extra sum of money, so that he can return to his hometown to live in peace for the rest of his life. "

"In this way, it can be regarded as the friendship between your master and servant, and secondly, it can be regarded as saving you from the trouble in your heart. "

"I hired a new butler, and I don't have to watch what you do every day to persuade you. "

Regarding Wang Chen's statement, Li Shimin shook his head.

"If it's an ordinary butler who only cares more about things, then I will naturally ask him to leave directly. "

"But to tell the truth, the butler himself was a man of integrity, and his virtues were known to his neighbors. "

"If I hastily give him money and let him go back to his hometown, I am afraid that those relatives and friends in my neighborhood will think that I am an intolerable person. "

"After all, I can't tolerate such a person with good character, then I'm afraid my reputation will be a little bad. "

"That's why that's what I'm annoyed about right now. "

"I can't drive away, and staying makes me unhappy. "

Wang Chen immediately understood what Li Shimin meant.

I'm still wavering, and I don't know what to do.

As a history student, I have countless historical events in my mind.

Wang Chen immediately found a matching historical event for this example.

That is Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng.

Isn't that the posture between those two enemies? It's really a bit similar to what happened to Lao Li.

Wang Chen's eyes rolled, and he immediately had some ideas.

"Lao Li, since you say so, then I have a different opinion. "

Li Shimin immediately looked like a consultant, arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the shopkeeper to give me some ideas." "

Wang Chen coughed lightly.

"My advice is that you not only keep this person, but also reuse him!".

Li Shimin was suddenly a little surprised, for some reason Wang Chen's opinion was diametrically opposite to before, but asked him to reuse the housekeeper.

Wang Chen looked at Li Shimin's somewhat confused appearance, and immediately got up, pretending to be profound: "Before I tell you the reason, I'll tell you a word first!"
