Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 50
Seeing this, Li Ke didn't blame Fang Jun for being rude. He stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of mutton. He dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth and bit it lightly... He almost burned his tongue!
However, the deliciousness of the mutton and the pungency of the sauce constituted a perfect taste. Li Ke took a few breaths of cool air, and couldn't wait to put it into his mouth and chew it carefully.

Then his eyes brightened and he praised: "It's really delicious!"

After he finished speaking, he found that no one agreed. His Royal Highness King Wu, who had always been flattered, was a little uncomfortable. He glanced around, and the other three threw off their arms and ate meat. They were sweating profusely.

Li Ke laughed and let go of the prince's majesty. He grabbed the piece of meat that Fang Jun was holding with chopsticks, and shouted, "Dare to compete with this king for meat, are you tired of living?"

Fang Jun looked at Li Ke speechlessly, depressed for a day!

Do you want to show the prestige of a prince even when you have a meal?I despise it, it's too LOW...

How can hot pot work without wine?

Fang Jun waved his hand and shouted, "Serve the wine!"

Then a maid came up with a ceramic wine urn, placed it on the table, and bowed down.

Fang Jun raised his head and glanced at it, it wasn't Qiao'er, and he was slightly relieved for some reason. If the girl looked at Li Ke a few more times, she might not be able to sleep at night...

After patting open the mud seal on the mouth of the urn, Fang Jun carried the wine urn and filled a bowl for everyone.

The wine is clear and the color is like Nanxuan green bamboo. When poured into the cup, there are white bubbles. Although the color is like bamboo leaves, it is not the kind of turbid wine in the Tang poem "Green Ant New Grain Wine", but Xinfeng wine, a specialty of Xinfeng. .

It is said that Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was born in Fengli.Emperor Taishang missed the scenery of his hometown in Chang'an City, so Liu Bang ordered the skilled craftsman Hu Kuan to build the city in the shape of his hometown Fengli, and named it Xinfeng, which means the newly moved Fengxiang.

After Xinfeng was built, the old man of the Emperor Taishang wanted to drink wine from his hometown, so Liu Bang moved the brewers from his hometown to this place, and since then, Xinfengmei Wine has become famous all over the world.

Several people were numb from the spicy tongue and smelled the faint smell of alcohol, so they drank it up and didn't say a few polite words hypocritically.

Liquor in the Tang Dynasty was limited by the brewing process, and the degree of alcohol was generally not high. Liquor of fifty or sixty degrees was distilled. That kind of technology was only developed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty absolutely did not have it.

Fang Jun hasn't drank much since the time of travel. He went to the brothel and wanted to drink a flower wine to experience the mellow beauty of the Tang Dynasty, but he was too big to die twice, and he didn't drink a single sip of the wine.

He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. This Xinfeng wine is soft in the mouth, and the clear soup is less watery. It is estimated that it is not as good as beer. After tasting it, it is still a little sweet...

Fortunately, Fang Jun wasn't really a novice, so he didn't slap the table and say that this is a fake wine with sugar...

The alcohol with the highest alcohol content in the Tang Dynasty did not exceed [-] degrees.Most of the brewing grains that react with the koji are saccharified. After saccharification, only a little bit can continue to brew, so the main taste of the wine in the Tang Dynasty was sweet, not spicy. ?
Fang Jun was stunned, no wonder he was always talking about "a hundred poems about fighting wine". Usually, drinking this kind of wine does not test the liver function, but the stomach capacity...

He felt that the alcohol content was a little low, but the taste was not bad. He wondered if he should study the distillation process and make authentic liquor to make money.He was pouring wine while picking vegetables in his hand, until his stomach swelled, only to realize that he had drank half a jar without knowing it.

He is also alcohol even at low alcohol levels. Even though Fang Jun in his previous life had an "alcohol test", but he passed through and changed his body. He still didn't get used to it for a while, his head was dizzy, and he drank a little too much.

At this time, Li Ke also put down the wine bowl, let out a long breath, and sighed: "Try to drink Xinfeng wine, and persuade the people from the balcony... This Xinfeng wine is really the best wine among the wines, and the aftertaste is endless. Delicious!"

Uncle Cen Wen drank more elegantly, and slowly moistened with the wine bowl. He heard the words and said, "Your Highness, this poem was written by Emperor Yuan of the Liang Dynasty, right? Wine can also relieve sorrow.”

If you have enough food and drink, you will talk more.

Li Ke's handsome face was dyed red by the smell of alcohol, and he said with a sigh, "When you get drunk, you get rid of a thousand worries, and when you wake up, you worry even more..."

The words were full of anger and anger.

Uncle Cen Wen smiled bitterly, kept his mouth shut, and drank slowly.

Li Siwen, this nerdy guy, turned a deaf ear to the words in the banquet, and even snorted and ate and drank, without even raising his head.

Fang Jun could understand Li Ke's mood.

Born as the emperor's nobleman, he is also extremely intelligent and talented. He is arrogant and proud, and he must have some ambitions in his heart.

It's a pity that fate sighed, only ranked third, the position of holding the universe in hand to point the country is always hopeless, and anyone will be a little unwilling.

After finally leaving the cabinet and setting up the mansion, the governor An Sui Wen Mian recovered the military affairs of the five states, and was designated as the prefect of Anzhou.

Catching up with this snow disaster, he was ordered by the emperor to govern the counties of Xinfeng. Seeing that countless people died of starvation without food and clothing, how could Li Ke remain indifferent?

This Xinfeng is the foot of the sky, the land of Jinki, and the passage from the Wei River to Chang'an in the Guandong region. The wealth is concentrated, so most of the major families have branches here, and the forces are intertwined and extremely complex.

New rich or not?It is true that there are many shops and wharfs in the F county to the Weishui River. The luxury houses and courtyards are next to each other. The wealth level is definitely ranked in the top three in Guanzhong.

However, the tax that Xinfeng collects every year is the last of the Guanzhong counties.

The reason is that most of the lucrative industries in the county are monopolized by major families. These families are either eligible for tax exemption or refuse to pay taxes due to their high weight.

When Li Ke first arrived here, he was ambitious and wanted to make a big effort to solve the plight of the victims.

However, the county's finances have already been overdrawn due to the snow disaster, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy. The only way to raise money and food is to raise money. ...

Looking at the vigor and vitality of King Wei Li Tai's management of the disaster, he is indeed struggling, how could Li Ke not be depressed?
If you say that Li Ke is inferior to Li Tai, he will not admit it if you kill him!
Li Ke took a sip of wine and sighed, making Fang Jun feel depressed...

"Then what, does Your Highness have something to worry about?" Fang Jun didn't care about the government, those had nothing to do with him, the obsession with sharpening his head in his previous life and climbing up has long since vanished. His greatest wish in this life is to be a happy little landowner.

Li Ke glanced at Fang Jun, and said in his heart he didn't know if he was really stupid or fake, but watching him play carefree and carefree all day, he can do whatever he wants, and he can beat anyone he wants. a kind of happiness.

He slowly said what was on his mind.

Uncle Cen Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Although X is a Xinfengling, the major families in this city don't take X seriously at all. Looking at the refugees and victims in and outside the city, Mo's heart is as if all five insides are burned, but There is no way to do anything!"

Originally, I hoped that His Royal Highness King Wu would come to Xinfeng in person, which would deter those aristocratic families and donate some money and grain to help the disaster. !
These leeches lying on the body of the empire sucking blood, have no humanity at all, they only have interests in their eyes, they are simply hateful and hateful!

Fang Jun understood, scratched his dizzy head, thought about it, and said, "There is a way..."

Li Ke almost spit out the wine he had drunk in his mouth, and smiled bitterly in his heart: Pull it down.Ha ha……

Uncle Cen Wen is also speechless, your second roommate is not enlightened at all, okay?
