   Ji Wen, the seventh prince in a blue robe, pushed open the door and entered.

His Royal Highness King Wei was originally negotiating mergers and acquisitions with the owner of Shaochun Distillery in Datongfang. After all, this kind of toasting wine will have to be done for a long time in the future. The old-fashioned brand of brewing, the father and son were unwilling to sell the winery, so the Seventh Prince stalemate there for a long time.

   When the talk was about to end, Ping'er from the Kojilou hurriedly arrived and told the seventh prince about the situation of the Kojilou. The King Wei immediately left the father and son of the Shaochun Winery and hurried back to the Kojilou.

It is worth mentioning that the two father and son of Shaochun Distillery are ordinary people after all. Previously, with a burst of blood and clenching their teeth, His Royal Highness King Wei shook his head and left. Instead, the two of them were startled and decided to sell the distillery. , you can't bring trouble to your family.

   After the seventh prince pushed open the door and came in, he saw his fourth brother sitting with Li Xin, and a smile appeared on his face: "The fourth brother has never come to the proud building before, why did you think of running over today?"

Ji Huan squinted and sat on the chair, didn't get up, just laughed and said: "I heard that your business is booming, Lao Qi, so come here to learn, and plan to open a spring breeze building next door in a while, and share a little Lao Qi. fortune."

   His Royal Highness King Wei grinned: "Welcome."

  Li Xin stood up from his chair and bowed to the Seventh Prince: "Your Highness."

   The seventh prince squinted his eyes and smiled: "Brother Xin, you don't have to be nervous. The fourth brother is notoriously good-natured among our brothers, and nothing will happen."

   Li Xin shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Qi came to buy wine from the Kerry Building. The ten jars of wine we made earlier have been bought by His Royal Highness King Qi with 2,000 guans."

   Ji Wen frowned: "Naughty, the fourth brother is my brother, how can I receive his money?"

As he said that, he turned to look at the fourth prince, smiled and said, "Since the fourth brother likes to drink, the younger brother will send a few jars of wine to the Qi Wangfu every month. Go back to the Qi Palace."

   Fourth Prince Ji Huan finally stood up.

   With his hands behind his back, he walked in front of His Royal Highness King Wei with a calm voice.

   "Seventh, you are a good businessman. If you go to trade, you will definitely make a lot of money."

   This is an insult.

   In this era, the so-called scholars, peasants, businessmen, and commerce are the lowest-ranking level. Merchants can’t wear silk or even take scientific examinations. If they walk on the street, they might even be scolded as a profiteer.

  The Seventh Prince is an upright nobleman of heaven and earth, and even a scholar does not know how much he is worth. He is like a businessman, and he is almost scolding people with his nose.

His Royal Highness King Wei was not angry, he just said with a smile: "The fourth brother taught me that the younger brother should not have been involved in business affairs, but the matter of winemaking was personally explained by the father, and the younger brother has no choice but to wait for this matter. When it’s over, my younger brother will never be involved in business and business, and must never compete with the people for profit.”

   Jihuan was a little angry.

   This guy, can't you hear that he is scolding him, why isn't he angry?

  He had no choice but to look back at Li Xin and force a smile: "Li Xiaowei, don't forget what you promised me."

After saying this, he walked to the door of the private room and said indifferently: "Lao Qi, the place like the brothel is not clean after all, if the royal father knows that you are doing this kind of business, most of you will be blamed, I won't mention it. Send it to you, you can do it yourself."

  The seventh prince chuckled: "Thank you fourth brother for your mercy."

  The Fourth Prince turned and left the Deyi Building.

   When King Wei was away, he could do whatever he wanted here. Now that King Wei, the master, has returned, although he is King Wei's elder brother, he is not good at making trouble.

  The seventh prince personally sent Ji Huan downstairs, all the way to the door of the proud building, and then clasped his fists and saluted: "Fourth brother, walk slowly."

   "Come here often next time."

   This sentence will come often next time, making His Royal Highness King Qi snort angrily.

   After Ji Huan walked away, Li Xin, who was standing behind the seventh prince, took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, I never promised the fourth prince..."

   Halfway through his sentence, he was interrupted by Ji Wen's wave. His Royal Highness Wei Wang smiled and said, "Brother Xin underestimates me. How can I believe this kind of trick to sow discord?"

   Having said this, His Royal Highness King Wei's face became serious, and he said, "It seems that this transaction we did has attracted the attention of the fourth brother and the others."

   Li Xin nodded and said, "Your Highness shouldn't have alerted His Majesty so early. The princes are all staring at His Majesty. What action is there from His Majesty will naturally arouse their vigilance."

   "I can't help it either."

Ji Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Xie Jun and Chen Zhong from the Ministry of War are both die-hard loyalists of the fourth brother. I went to the Ministry of War several times, but I didn't talk about it. Do not move the military."

   The two walked while talking, and after a while they returned to the private room in the Deyi Building. Li Xin reached out and poured a cup of tea for the seventh prince, and asked, "Your Highness, tell Your Majesty the situation in the Ministry of War?"

  Ji Wen took the tea, took a sip, and nodded: "It's a helpless thing, I don't explain the situation of the White Army to the emperor, and the matter of liquor entering the army can't be pushed down until now."

   Li Xin squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "The Ministry of War is about to undergo a change."

   His Royal Highness King Wei put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "What do you mean?"

  Li Xin's face was calm.

"As Your Highness said, the Ministry of War has become the Ministry of War for the Fourth Prince. Your Majesty will never allow this kind of situation to occur in such a critical yamen. Your Highness can watch it. In the recent period of time, either the Fourth Prince will be transferred away. The Ministry of War, or one of the two servants was transferred from the Ministry of War."

   Li Xin said this, and the seventh prince also wanted to understand the key.

   He nodded and said, "Brother Xin, you are right, there will probably be a change in the Ministry of War."

Li Xin coughed and said, "His Royal Highness, today's wine sale has been disturbed by the fourth prince. It is estimated that it will be delayed for a while before the next wine sale. How about the Shaochun Winery in your area? already?"

   The two matters of selling wine and buying a wine shop were discussed by Li Xin and the Seventh Prince before, but they were just separate actions.

   "Father and son say what kind of ancestral property they are, and they don't want to sell it."

The Seventh Prince frowned, "The two of them had already let up their mouths just now, and they were about to talk about it, but Ping'er ran to say that something had happened here in the building, so I hurried back and left it there. There."

Li Xin is an expert in this kind of negotiation skills, he chuckled: "His Royal Highness just leave them there, don't pay attention to them, it is estimated that tomorrow and the day after, they should go to His Highness's mansion and beg His Highness to accept them. Their wine shop."

   His Royal Highness King Wei nodded, looked back at Li Xin, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Xin, after the winemaking is over, what should we do next?"

"Wait."

   Li Xin looked solemn: "When the wine business makes money, His Highness can start to establish his own Tianmu Prison. At that time, he will not talk about the world, at least he will have a good ear and eyesight in the capital."

   "When we can understand the direction of the situation in the capital, we can move on to the next step."
