Run a B&B and receive Wu Song at the beginning

Chapter 853 Xuande cooks green plum wine, and Aman comes to taste it! [Ask for monthly votes]

After expressing his feelings, Liu Bei walked to the stall and asked with a smile:

"How much are these plums?"

When the vendor saw Liu Bei wearing a dragon robe, he was so scared that he quickly knelt on the side of the road, not daring to raise his head, his body shaking like a sieve, and his mouth trembling:

"Five-five-five... five cents a... pound, Your Majesty, if... if you like it, you can... take it, I just want... to stay alive."

Zhou Tong, who was responsible for Liu Bei's safety, was about to pull him up when Liu Bei walked over and did it himself.

He helped the vendor up from the ground, bent down and patted the dust off the vendor's trouser legs:

"This is not a court meeting, no need to kneel, you just do business honestly, no one will hurt you... How many people are there in your family? How much land do you plant?"

The vendor was completely confused. He never expected that the newly enthroned emperor would be so close to the people. He wiped his tears and said:

"There are five people in my family. We live in Sangshu Village, ten miles outside the city. My family has 20 acres of land and planted corn. My wife is weeding in the field. There are a few plum trees at the end of the field. I picked some green plums and sold them at the city gate to supplement the family income..."

Liu Bei also asked about the child's studies and the livelihood of the village.

I went out of the city today to understand the people's sentiments. Since I met him, I just wanted to learn more about him.

After the initial nervousness, the vendor gradually became less afraid and answered fluently.

When Queen Wu Shuwan heard that the vendor had a two-year-old baby at home, she gave him a handful of milk candies and asked the vendor to take them home for the child to eat.

When Liu Bei had almost finished asking questions and was about to leave, Wu Shuwan said again:

"Your Majesty has delayed other people's business, why don't you buy some green plums and let the stall owner go home early to accompany his family."

"Oh, I forgot."

Liu Bei patted his head and took money from his sleeve pocket and said:

"Weigh ten pounds for me, and go back to make some wine. A cup of plum wine on this hot day will make you feel refreshed..."

He took out a handful of copper coins, counted them and found only forty-eight coins, and began to bargain:

"I buy ten pounds at a time, can I save two coins?"

The onlookers immediately burst into laughter. They never thought that the newly enthroned emperor was so down-to-earth. Not only did he buy things with money, but he also bargained.

The vendor didn't dare to take the money:

"Your Majesty, take it if you like it. I won't take any money."

Liu Bei refused:

"With money, the family can buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and your wife can buy cloth to make new clothes. The oil, salt, sauce and vinegar shops and cloth stores will have the capital to operate, and will also contribute taxes to the court. The collected taxes will be invested in livelihood projects such as digging canals and building roads. In this way, it will be more convenient for you to farm, faster to enter the city, and merchants will transport more goods. Our entire Han Dynasty will be revitalized little by little."

In fact, everyone didn't quite understand these, but since there were benefits, they had to charge money.

The vendor excitedly took the beam scale and weighed ten kilograms of green plums for Liu Bei. While weighing, Liu Bei said:

"It's tall. I will buy your green plums next time."

The ten kilograms of green plums were divided into three parts, wrapped in lotus leaves, tied with hemp ropes, and then they could be carried home.

When paying, Liu Bei said:

"Even I, the emperor, have to pay for things. If anyone comes to you without paying, report to the government and there will be a reward."

At this moment, more and more people are watching. Liu Bei reminds all the people that buying and selling is fair, and any forced buying and selling will be punished by law.

Gongsun Sheng reminds everyone:

"If you are worried about officials protecting each other, you can also ask the God of Wealth for help. As long as the God of Wealth thinks you are right, he will help you to uphold justice."

The court and the gods work together to create a good business environment for the people.

The people around are shocked by this policy. Even the emperor has to pay for things. They have never heard of such a thing.

Liu Bei knows that this kind of thing needs to ferment. Today is just a coincidence and a primer.

Next, the imperial court will start from Zhending Prefecture and do its best to protect the business environment and avoid bullying and market domination... Of course, protection alone is not enough, supervision is also necessary. The imperial court will set up a market management bureau to calibrate all beam scales and supervise the quality of goods.

Once merchants and vendors violate the law, they will not be tolerated.

Before leaving, Liu Bei said to the vendor:

"The green plum season is short. If you want to make money, you can pick more plums from the tree, buy some wine to soak them, and make green plum wine, or buy some vinegar and make green plum vinegar. Some people will like it... When making it, remember to wash the green plums, dry them, and then seal them in a jar for a better flavor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me. I will try it when I get back. If it succeeds, please allow me to give you a jar."

Liu Bei thought for a while and said:

"Forget about giving it to you. Make more at a time. If you can't sell it, you can cooperate with the wine shops in the city. If you can't find a merchant, go to the Federation of Industry and Commerce for help. The people there will help you solve it."

At this time, there were more and more people at the city gate, and there were more and more peddlers pushing wheelbarrows and carrying shoulder poles. Liu Bei simply went shopping and borrowed five taels of silver from Wu Shuwan as an emperor, intending to buy more things.

When borrowing money, the couple wrote down an IOU in a serious manner, which was regarded as a model for private capital lending, and it could help the people develop a good habit of writing IOUs when borrowing money.

Liu Bei was about to buy something when he suddenly heard a cry.

He walked over and saw a couple in their thirties kneeling on the ground crying, so he asked:

"What's wrong with you two? If there is any grievance, I can help you."

The couple kowtowed and told the whole story:

"Our daughter was kidnapped by kidnappers yesterday. It is said that she was sold to the Nuanxiang Pavilion in the city. Please help me, Your Majesty, and let my daughter go home. She is only twelve years old and still a child..."

Liu Bei's good mood was gone, and he turned to Zhou Tong and said:

"Take the troops to the Nuanxiang Pavilion to see. If this is true, the shopkeeper, madam, and owner of the Nuanxiang Pavilion will all be executed. All kidnappers will be executed once they are caught!"

After giving these instructions, Gongsun Sheng reminded in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

Liu Bei also thought of this, but the surroundings were in a mess and he couldn't think calmly.

He took a green plum from the lotus leaf bag and stuffed it into his mouth. The sour taste rushed straight to his head, and his brain finally got a moment of peace.

After thinking for a while, Liu Bei said:

"I order all merchants in the Han territory. From now on, all prostitutes of Han nationality will be restored to their hometowns, attend night classes and handicraft classes, join textile factories, silkworm factories, ceramic factories and other enterprises, and become workers; if they can live a down-to-earth life, they can also marry into good families. All localities should launch measures to rescue and help women who have fallen into trouble, and guide public opinion. If there are those who commit crimes against the wind, their three clans will be exterminated; if there are those who force good women into prostitution, their five clans will be exterminated!"

His tone was light, but it was no less than thunder in the ears of everyone.

Gongsun Sheng bowed again and asked:

"Your Majesty, do you want to eradicate the entire prostitution industry?"

Liu Bei ate another green plum and nodded:

"Brothels can continue to be opened, but the practitioners inside can only be foreign women such as Jurchens, Khitans, Tibetans, Three Han, Dongying, Nanyang, Westerners, Central Asians, Arabs, etc.... All Han children are prohibited from getting involved in the prostitution industry. Even if they are self-deprecating, it is illegal and must be severely punished!"

After swallowing two green plums, Liu Bei figured out an idea that could affect the progress of China.

On the day he ascended the throne, he announced the abolition of slavery. If these lowly industries were abolished, a social atmosphere of Han supremacy would gradually form...Han people can only enjoy themselves, not sell their bodies to entertain others. People who can't make ends meet can ask the government for help, and can obtain basic living supplies such as food, and medical care and education can also be guaranteed.

A court official who followed asked:

"Brothels have been around for thousands of years. Isn't it too radical to take such measures rashly?"

Liu Bei pointed to the sky:

"In a world protected by gods, you say this is radical? I wish I could immediately develop the entire society to the level of civilization in the real world...Every move of the court is under the supervision of the gods. You must face up to your status. When you are an official, you must benefit the people. Otherwise, the gods will blame you, and the underworld may have another cow and horse working in the fields."

The accompanying officials hurriedly saluted and expressed that they would do their best to implement the court's policies and serve the people.

Wen Huanzhang wrote down the reform of the brothel, and after thinking for a while, he asked:

"What if someone sells his children to survive?"

Liu Bei said:

"Such a tragedy can still happen when the grain is so high, which shows that the local officials are unqualified and should be executed according to the law!"

Then, another official asked other questions, and Liu Bei answered them one by one.

Everyone did not return to the city until it was almost dark.

Back in the palace transformed from the governor's mansion, Liu Bei washed his hands, cleaned the green plums, opened a small jar of white wine, put the washed green plums in, and added some rock sugar.

After brewing it this way, the sour and sweet plum wine was ready.

Of course, it is better to use rice wine to make this kind of wine. Rice wine has its own sweetness, low alcohol content, and tastes smoother.

After sealing the wine jar properly, Liu Bei asked someone to prepare some yellow wine, intending to use a small charcoal stove to cook some yellow wine, put some green plums in it, and reproduce the grand occasion of boiling wine and discussing heroes.

But it's a bit late today, so I can only continue tomorrow.

After playing with the green plums, Liu Bei washed his hands, had dinner with Wu Shuwan, and then went into the imperial study to work overtime to make up for the time spent playing with the plum wine.

The palace of Zhending Prefecture is not big, and can even be described as shabby.

At first, Li Yu wanted the gods to help him give Liu Bei a super palace so that this uncle who had been wandering for half his life could enjoy it.

As a result, when Liu Bei heard that he had true qi to protect his body and was not afraid of assassination, he refused the big palace.

He just renovated the original seven-story governor's mansion, combined the houses on the left and right, and divided it into a front yard and a back yard. Except for the main hall, all the other houses were upgraded to five- or six-story buildings, and the palace was built.

In Liu Bei's eyes, the tall palace walls indicated that there was a gap with the people. The princes lived in the palace gardens far away from the people all year round, and they didn't know the sufferings of the world, which would be in danger of the country's destruction.

However, although the palace is small, the configuration is not low. For example, it has realized the freedom of electricity use, such as 24-hour monitoring around the palace, and there is also a formation placed by Taibai Jinxing under the palace, which can continuously provide spiritual energy, dispel evil winds and yin energy, and prevent the emperor and court officials from being bewitched.

The next day, after Liu Bei got up, he looked at the rice wine sent by Gu Dasao and others and felt very satisfied. He even stewed some Dongpo pork with rice wine with interest, intending to reward the court officials.

On the other hand, at the Three Kingdoms World Grand Court Meeting, Cao Cao was summoned by Liu Xie and was named the General of the Western Expedition of the Han Dynasty, the Governor of the Western Regions, and the Ambassador for the Promotion of Han Culture. Deng Zhi and Wei Yan, two young generals, accompanied him as assistants and deputy generals.

As for Cao Cao's original subordinates, they were divided up by Yuwen Chengdu Corps, Pang De Corps, and Sun Ce Corps.

After the audience, Cao Cao left the court, as if he had a dream.

Sun Facai led him to the opposite side of the palace to eat a big bowl of mutton soup, and put it on Guo Jia's account as usual, which made Ah Man very puzzled:

"Brother Facai, isn't this your shop? Why do you have to put someone else's account?"

Sun Facai said shamelessly:

"This meal is considered to be Fengxiao's treat. He is treating, so he should pay for it. I can't pay for myself to eat out of my own pocket, right?"

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, take a look!

Cao Cao was unable to refute what he said, so he had to deal with the mutton offal in his bowl:

"This soup is quite delicious. I wonder if I can taste it in the Western Regions."

Sun Facai laughed:

"There is nothing else there, but a lot of sheep. Just don't stay there for two years and get all smelly... You can't catch up this year. You can reclaim more wasteland there. Next year, I will ask Brother Yu to get you some pepper seeds and cotton seeds. The long-staple cotton and red peppers in the northwest should be launched!"

After eating and drinking, the two came to Zhuque Street.

Sun Facai asked:

"Do you want to read your original memory?"

Cao Cao nodded:

"Can I?"

"Yes!"

Sun Facai put his hands on his mouth, made a trumpet shape, and shouted to the sky:

"Old Zhang, come to work!"

As soon as he finished shouting, a thousand-foot golden Taoist appeared in the sky. It was Zhang Daoling. He hooked his hand and Cao Cao flew into the sky, then suddenly disappeared and went to the Wahuang Palace.

In the Wucheng Palace of the Wahuang Palace, Cao Cao covered his head with his hands and began to read the memories of the original work.

The early stage was almost the same. Starting from the meeting of the eighteen princes, the memories of the original work and the current timeline of the Three Kingdoms world began to drift apart, and A Man's life also changed dramatically.

After reading, Cao Cao wiped the sweat from his head and sat down on the floor in the hall.

Zhang Daoling asked with a smile:

"How do you feel?"

Cao Cao sighed:

"The evaluation of the traitor is too appropriate."

After that, he bowed and asked:

"May I ask the Heavenly Master, can I go to see Xuande?"

Zhang Daoling nodded:

"Sure, he is going to cook plum wine, you two can sit down and continue to discuss the heroes of the world."

Cao Cao waved his hand when he heard it:

"It was not until today that I realized that the one who was sitting in the well and watching the sky was Cao, I am sorry to make the Heavenly Master laugh."

Zhang Daoling waved his whisk, and the two left the Wa Palace and appeared in the palace of Zhending Prefecture in the Water Margin Yue Fei world.

At this time, Liu Bei was wearing a sweat shirt, sitting under a huge walnut tree in the palace, cooking plum wine with a small charcoal stove. The rich aroma of the hot yellow wine made Cao Cao swallow his saliva.

Liu Bei looked at the wine boiling in the pot, and prepared some side dishes, such as sweet and sour radish slices, lemon pickled pepper chicken feet, five-spice braised beef, salted peanuts and edamame, etc.

While he was busy, he suddenly felt something, turned his head, and recognized Cao Cao standing in the sun at a glance:

"Aman? When did you come?"

Cao Cao took two steps forward and bowed guiltily:

"I came here because I smelled the wine, Xuande, can I have a glass of wine?"

Liu Bei laughed:

"Come on, come on, the dishes are ready, the wine is ready, just in time to help me with a few things... Zhang Tianshi, come with us? Let's have a good chat."

Zhang Daoling waved his hand:

"I still have to go to the Journey to the West to see Wukong, so I won't disturb you. When Aman leaves, just pray to the Queen Mother sincerely, and someone will come to take you back to the Three Kingdoms world."

After that, Lao Zhang's figure flashed and then disappeared.

Cao Cao walked under the walnut tree and smiled at Liu Bei.

The two had moments of mutual appreciation, a honeymoon period when they sat in the same car and slept on the same bed, chased each other, and fought and confronted each other.

Now they meet in another time and space, Aman has just reached middle age, and Xuande is full of vigor and vitality.

All the things in the original book have not happened yet, but it seems that they have all experienced it, so the meeting between the two this time has a sense of "brothers are still there after going through all the hardships, and they will forget their grudges with a smile when they meet."

Ah Man looked at the several side dishes on the stone table and said with a smile:

"Xuan De is in a good mood."

Liu Bei motioned him to sit down:

"I felt that there would be guests coming, and I didn't expect to see you... Last time Fengxian said that he would transfer you to the Western Regions, have you set off?"

Cao Cao sighed:

"Your Majesty has just issued an edict to appoint me as the General of the Western Expedition, the Governor of the Western Regions, and the Ambassador for the Promotion of Han Culture... I understand the first two, but how should this promotion ambassador be promoted?"

Liu Bei took a wine vessel and filled a glass of wine, and casually pointed to the sword hanging on Cao Cao's waist:

"Putting those who do not agree with the Han culture to death is the best way to promote it... Ah Man, you should be able to guess this, why are you doubtful?"

"Your Majesty is heroic and decisive, I just can't believe it... Once this wine is brewed, the whole yard will be filled with fragrance, it is really a good wine!"

The two clinked glasses, and Liu Bei talked about the regulations to eliminate slavery and prohibit Han daughters from engaging in the dust industry.

Cao Cao was so excited that his thighs were red:

"This is very wonderful, you have to fundamentally improve the status of the Han people, but it is not enough to eliminate these. Those slaves have to gradually restore the household registration. And let them have a strong worship of the Great Han household registration, so that they think they are low, and once they set foot on Huaxia land, they will cry and runny, and feel that the air is sweet ... "

As soon as Liu Bei heard it, he took out a pen and paper and said:

"Slowly, let me write down, and let Peng get to the real world to ask Mr. Yi, see what he said."

Cao Cao ate the pepper and phoenix claws, continued to diverge his thinking, and talked about his conception of the Han people.

After chatting, he rubbed his hands and asked a little embarrassed:

"Xuande, can I see the clouds at first sight?"

Liu Bei: "..."

You run here, won't you just see my second brother?

He picked up the intercom and said:

"Gongsun Dao, please bring my second brother, there are noble guests in the palace who wants to see him."

Gongsun Sheng promised to ask someone to go to Handan.

Xuande continued to drink. Soon, some people in the sky fell. Cao Cao rubbed his eyes and saw the burly green robe man, and suddenly he shouted:

"Yun ... Yun Chang, remember to conceal?"

Lao Guan hadn't spoken yet, and there was a thunderous sound behind him:

"Cao thief, take a deep look, eat a spear!"
