Chapter 11 The little fish gnaws on the legs

Wu Zetian's eyes lit up.

"Yes! Let's go to Qingyuan County to buy a batch of wine to solve the urgent problem!"

"That guy Chen Yuan has many ideas, maybe he can help the court."

Wu Zetian glanced at Tianse, hurriedly left Shangyang Palace with Shangguan Wan'er, and drove out of Luoyang City in a carriage.

Along the way, Wu Zetian calculated the account book, and Shangguan Wan'er made a calculation.

Li Xian sat in the corner, holding the bag, looking at the two women with a depressed look on his face. He studied things that could be done with just one stick of incense for two hours.

I don't know what I thought.

Wu Zetian put down his brush, rubbed his forehead, and snorted coldly, "I only know how to look at something, but I don't know how to help my mother calculate it."

"My son doesn't dare, so I'll help my mother calculate."

Li Xian was so scared that he trembled all over. He quickly took the brush and calculated it in the account book, and said after a moment.

"I will not hide my mother's queen, according to the records in the account book, the imperial court still needs at least 242,000 guan to buy medicinal materials."

"If you buy ordinary wine, the profit per bottle is calculated at fifty chunks, and it will take 48,400 bottles."

"This deal is too big, the journey is long and the loss is too high. After calculation, the court will have to pay an additional 20,000 yuan."

"Which wine is different, the profit per bottle is 1,000 guan, and only 240 bottles can be used to achieve the purpose."

"Not only the small quantity, it can be sold out as soon as possible, thereby reducing the time for transporting medicinal materials to the front line."

Wu Zetian was quite surprised when she looked at her son who was talking. She didn't expect that her son, who had always been timid and cowardly, would be proficient in arithmetic.

This aroused her curiosity.

"You are right. Collected wine is indeed easier to sell than ordinary wine, but have you ever thought about it? The cost of a bottle of ordinary wine is only two cents, while collecting wine costs twenty cents."

"With our current financial resources, is it too expensive to buy all the treasured wine?"

Li Xian said with great enthusiasm: "I have already thought about this issue. We just need to find a group of craftsmen and make a group of fake wine."

Wu Zetian's face turned black and almost became angry. He pointed at Li Xian and shouted angrily: "You rebellious son, I still have expectations for you, but he actually came up with such a bad idea!"

"Are you really a fool who is a wealthy family? Can't you taste real wine or fake wine?"

"Get out of here!"

"My mother, don't be angry, my son will go out to catch the car now." Li Xian shrank his neck and climbed out of the car in shame.

"Your Majesty, it's dark. You'd better take a break early. You'll have to hurry up tomorrow."

Shangguan Wan'er held back her smile and said.

"Oh, I'm so evil, why did I give birth to such a son?" Wu Zetian shook his head and blew out the candle in the carriage.

After a night, the carriage had already entered the boundary of Qingzhou Prefecture, only half an hour away from Qingyuan County.

Looking at the endless green rice fields on both sides of the road, Li Xian was shocked. In order to prove that he was not wrong, he rubbed his eyes hard.

"Mother, my son is not wrong, there is a large green rice field here!"

"How is this possible!"

Wu Zetian got out of the carriage, looked at the green mountains and clear waters in the distance, and said with emotion.

"There is nothing impossible in this world, it's just a lack of honest and willing ministers."

"Let's go, let's walk forward, and the surprise is still behind."

Li Xian nodded thoughtfully and followed Wu Zetian to Qingyuan County.

This time the three of them did not settle in Dongsheng Inn, but went to Qingyuan Hot Spring Museum. As soon as they entered the shopkeeper, they smiled and said hello.

"So it's Mr. Wu. You haven't been here for a long time. Do you still need a suite in the Heavenly World this time?"

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Old rule, sprinkle ten kilograms of petals in the hot spring."

"Okay, you can take a break first, I'll prepare it for you now!"

After the three of them entered the heaven and earth, Li Xian was immediately shocked by the luxurious decoration in front of him.

In the bright room, a foggy pool was built up, and fish swim around in the clear water.

"Tsk tsk, this is the first time Gu has seen someone building a fish pond in a room, which is too big."

Shangguan Wan'er covered her forehead with helpless look on her face.

"Your Highness, this is not a fish pond, but a hot spring. Those small fish are used to chew legs when massaged."

"What, the little fish gnaws on their legs?"

Li Xian was startled, but he became excited soon. Since he was a child, he had never tried to be bitten by a fish.

It feels exciting to think about it.

"Okay, you go out to take a public hot spring. I'm going to take a bath." Seeing the petals poured into the hot spring, Wu Zetian waved his hand and drove Li Xian out.

When the door closed, Wu Zetian slowly took off his palace skirt and stepped into the hot spring naked.

Only in Qingyuan County can she completely relax.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, and then took off her clothes and soaked it in the hot spring.

Just as the three of them were bathing in the hot springs beautifully, Hu Erlangzi, who received the news, hurried to the back hall of the county government office to tell Shen Yuan.

"Sir, that Wu Di is here again, and is gnawing at the hot spring restaurant."

"Come back so soon?"

Shen Yuan was a little surprised. According to his estimate, it would take as long as one month for 500 bottles of wine.

After all, it takes some process for wine to gain popularity.

"It seems that I chose Wu Di for the right wine sales. A new wine can be sold out so quickly, which shows that Wu Di has a lot of connections.

Shen Yuan naturally would not let go of the God of Wealth who was delivered to his door.

Immediately let Xiao Taohong stop, put on her clothes and go to Qingyuan Hot Spring Museum.

As soon as I entered the door, I sneeze by the thick smoke coming towards me. Several hot spring shop friends quickly opened the window and put out the cigarette.

When the shopkeeper Tao Yulin saw Chen Yuan coming, he pointed at the bath pool with a dirt face and coughed: Lord Shen, you are finally here!

Chen Yuan covered his mouth and nose and frowned: What's going on? Why is the hot spring museum so smoke? I learned the annual fire prevention drill into the dog's belly?

Seeing that the county magistrate was dissatisfied, Manager Tao simply sat on the ground and cried and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm so unfair."

You don’t know that Li Riye, who was killed that day, made a big pot by the bathhouse and stewed all the fish in the hot spring!

Puchi!

Chen Yuan squirted out a mouthful of water, widened his eyes and said, "Did you say that the one named Li Riye stewed the little fish?"

"Yes, this shameless person actually asked the little one if there was salt, otherwise the taste would be too light."

When Manager Tao replied, Wu Zetian and the other two opened the door and walked out. Seeing Chen Yuan standing in the lobby with a dark face, Li Xian blushed and hid behind the crowd for a few steps.

Seeing that it was a guest's problem, Chen Yuan did not scold Manager Tao anymore and asked him to do the aftermath, so he smiled and greeted Wu Zetian.
