In the afternoon, when the banquet ended, the guests dispersed, and the officials and the officials took out the guests.

Zu Yi, who returned from seeing off the guests, walked into the hall and looked at the messy and the grand piano behind the bamboo curtains next to him. A thought suddenly came up: How much does it cost to spend this seat?

Recently, the profit has been calculated quite a lot, so Zu Qie subconsciously began to calculate the "cost".

Let’s talk about environmental arrangement first. Piano is a must. Now who sets up a banquet and doesn’t put up a piano to let the piano player play the piano to create an atmosphere? Then there is a set of white porcelain tableware.

And the best white porcelain tableware is not cheap.

Needless to say, good wine must be found, but now there are only two places of origin for good wine in Jiankang City, namely Poyang, Raozhou and Hanshan, Xuzhou.

Due to changes in the currency system, prices in Jiankang City rose. Although the prices of daily necessities had fallen later, the price of wine did not fall again after it rose.

The boy servants cleaned up the scene, Li Li, who was drinking a little, sat on the couch, leaning against the table, closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing Li Li closing his eyes to rest, Zu Yi pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands and asked, "Why don't you take a break earlier?"

"It's okay, sit down." Li Li opened his eyes and still leaned against the few.

Zu Yi sat aside, and Li Li asked, "How about the tricks of wine, how do you feel when you play with it?"

"It can be said that you can make a lot of money invisibly..." Zu Qiong laughed softly.

Li Li also laughed a few times, listening to Zu Yu talk about the changes in prices in Jiankang City.

Among them, there are wine prices. Today's good wines have many varieties. Even the wine bottles that contain wine have porcelain bottles and glass bottles of different quality.

This is Li Li's plan, everything is to make a lot of money.

Wine is a good thing. In this era, due to the great development of winemaking technology, homemade wine is everywhere and is quite famous.

The wine shops in the city and the landlords in the countryside usually sell wine and drink mostly homemade wine.

There are also some famous wines that are very popular and are sold to the outside world as commodities, and the supply is in short supply.

But that's all in the past. When "savory wine" appears, the market for mid-to-high-end wines was soon seized by various "savory wines".

The so-called "savory wine" refers to wine with a high alcohol concentration. The wine is clear and transparent, and Li Li thinks it should be white wine.

However, the winemaking technology of this era cannot produce strong alcohol content (relatively speaking).

There was no wine like liquor, so he felt that maybe the liquor had not officially appeared yet, so business opportunities came.

Li Li spent a huge amount of money to hire a wine brewing expert to find out the "savory wine" brewing technology through continuous exploration, which brought him and his collaborators generous returns.

But Li Li is not satisfied with making money by selling alcohol. He wants to use strong liquor to collect luxury taxes for the rich, in other words, to cut leeks.

Because for self-sufficient manors, only various luxury goods are worth their money to buy, and the manor can meet their daily needs.

Good wine, high-quality porcelain and glassware are the products that the owners of the manor cannot afford to support themselves but have strongly purchased **.

The owners of the countryside need these goods, and the wealthy families in the city live in luxury, so they are naturally even more inseparable from them.

These goods cannot be afforded by ordinary people, so even if the prices rise, those wealthy families will be directly affected.

Therefore, Li Li, who has the channels for supplying good wine, porcelain and glassware, should launch an economic offensive against Jiankang, which is as powerful as a dog, and the Sanwu area where the wealthy people are everywhere.

These people like to talk about pomp and enjoyment, so Li Li increases the cost of the other party's pomp and enjoyment.

But the cost of increase will inevitably be passed on by these people to slaves and the manor depends on the people, which means increasing exploitation.

Therefore, the burden of child servants and dependents is increasing. If there is a choice, such as a place that has employment opportunities and guarantees personal safety, they will inevitably choose to leave the fire pit.

Such situations have already occurred in Poyang and Hanshan.

The labor force in the surrounding areas, with their families and their families, heading towards Poyang, where employment opportunities and security are everywhere, and Hanshan is moving forward. This is how the soldiers in Xuzhou who are nearly 100,000 people come.

Jiankang, the people in the city, began to gather in the east and west "workshops" and "never-night shops" and temporarily stayed in the "low-rent shops".

Gradually, laborers in surrounding areas will gather in Jiankang, just like before, they gave up their household registration status and invested in the name of a large household to become a hidden household.

Facts have proved that as long as the people are given a way to live, in sharp contrast to the surrounding despair, they will take their families and walk up without looking back.

Whoever can effectively organize these people, gather a pile of loose sand, and then guide and apply it appropriately, will have a continuous stream of power.

Zu Yi talked for a while, and saw that the scene was cleaned up and there were no servants beside him, so he asked, "Mr., can the emperor accept a concubine, can there be a solution?"

"You know, this is an open conspiracy," Li Li whispered, "The emperor always wants to accept a concubine. The Zhang family came from a famous family, but their parents' family had no support, so it was the best candidate."

"The Lord and Hou thought it was clear, but the lower officials thought it was better to have multiple minds."

"You mean, beware of the power of the tribes?"

Zu Yi replied: "Yes, Fan Yang Zhang is a relative of Xiao's family after all, and there are many clan members. If Concubine Zhang is favored, I am afraid that this will not be used as an opportunity to influence the emperor."

"So what? If they want to be in the long run, there is no need to cause trouble at the moment." Li Li tried his best to overcome his dizziness and correct his thoughts: "If you say that you want the emperor not to go to Huaiyin at the moment, would you be poisoned?"

Zu Yi looked at Li Li: "This is a good idea, hit the key points."

"What is he trying to do if the candidate recommended by King Jiang Xia? He won't be foolish in getting a mantis." Li Li felt it was impossible, "The palace affairs, the empress dowager, has nothing to do with the queen, and something happened, too..."

As he spoke, Li Li hesitated a little.

"If something really happens, what can I do as long as I can't find the real murderer?" Zu Yi smiled, "I have arrived in Jiankang and heard many stories from past dynasties. There is an old thing that I want to think about, maybe it is a bit similar."

Li Li was really confused and too lazy to think about it, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zu Yi replied: "During the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao suddenly died."

"Sima Yao? Sima Yao..." Li Li's mind was still confused and could not remember it. Zu Yi reminded: "Sima Yao and his favorite concubine Zhang Guiren joked after drinking, and then died suddenly..."

"Guru Zhang? He died suddenly..." Li Li murmured, and after a while, he remembered.

It is said that the reason why Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao suddenly died was because he joked with Concubine Zhang after drinking the first night, saying, "You are old and have not given birth to a son for me. You are standing in the position of a noble person for nothing. Sooner or later, you will be ruined."

So in the middle of the night, Zhang Guiren used a quilt to cover Sima Yao to death.

However, after Sima Yao's death, Concubine Zhang seemed not to be held accountable, so this statement was more like a rumor deliberately fabricated.

Because Sima Yao and his mother's brother Sima Daozi assisted in the administration after the crown prince ascended the throne and took over the power, he did not cause trouble for Concubine Zhang.

If Sima Yao died suddenly and killed him, Sima Daozi, who showed peace afterwards, was more likely to be inseparable from the relationship. The statement that Concubine Zhang killed the monarch was a rumor that someone deliberately made up to divert public attention.

so?

"The emperor cannot have only one woman. It makes no sense to worry about this." Li Li's head gradually became clear, and Zu Qi continued:

"The emperor's residence in Huaiyin will inevitably damage the interests of many people. It is not impossible for them to stop them on the surface and take risks in secret."

"So, please be prepared... and have offensive words."

Li Li sat up and waved his hand: "But it's okay."

"The young emperor is a burden to the Lord and Hou. If he dies, he will die...but, don't let others have the opportunity to take advantage of it."
