Li Baohuai was cheerful and generous. After a few words, Li Qiniang felt good about it. However, Yan Xuehuai asked: "Why are you asking for your relationship, may your family reach out to you?"

Although Li Qiniang felt that her daughter was asking directly, this was what she wanted to ask. They had an interest relationship with Li Baohuai. If the Li family kept making trouble, no matter whether Li Baohuai could successfully obtain a liquor license, the future business would not be easy, and they would be affected by that time.

When you are doing business, some things are not something you think are someone else's family affairs, so you can avoid mentioning them. The royal family has no family affairs. When the family affairs of a business are related to business, it is no longer a family affairs.

Therefore, Li Qiniang did not stop her and allowed Yan Xuehuai to ask questions, her eyes flashing at Li Baohuai.

Li Baohuai smiled faintly, and he was not embarrassed by the privacy of others, nor did he deliberately make a calm and clear wind. Her voice was loud and clear: "Do you know how Miss Li and Miss Yan know the origin of this prohibition?"

The ban on alcohol was caused by the war in many places to abandon land and flee, with nine out of ten acres of wasteland. In addition, natural disasters were encountered, and many places had no harvest. In order to save food, the imperial court ordered a ban on alcohol.

Yan Xuehuai's heart moved: "You Li family has food?"

Li Baohuai smiled: "Every household in Qingshui Town can make wine, and there are more than 30 wineries named after them, not to mention those who cannot afford to open wineries and sell wine in the market on weekdays. To make wine, you need food. Farmers around Qingshui Town, a radius of 500 miles around Qingshui Town, except for the tax rice and self-use they invited, the remaining rice and grain were sold to our wineries in Qingshui Town.

Growing grain depends on the weather for food, and it is inevitable that we will encounter bad harvests. Once grain yields are reduced, the price of grain will rise, but the price of wine cannot rise. In order to avoid this, our winery in Qingshui Town will prepare for the future and build its own rice warehouse more than a hundred years ago.

The rice warehouse is jointly used by the four families of Li, Zhao and Youfeng. When the rice price is low, a large amount of grain is stored. When the rice price is high, the grain can be distributed to the rice shop or used for your own use. When the winery in the town cannot afford high-priced rice, just find one of our four families and you can buy rice at a rice price lower than the market price.

Therefore, for more than a hundred years, the winery in our Qingshui Town has never cut production or stopped production due to poor harvests.

Now the court cannot collect tax rice, so it can only order a ban on alcohol. Therefore, three months ago, I reached an agreement with the other three companies to take out 60% of the rice storage in the clear water rice warehouse and present it to the court."

Li Qiniang was shocked. She subconsciously looked at her daughter, but saw Yan Xuehuai's expression was as usual and no strange looks were seen.

Sister Huai has already thought of it?

"The three families agreed? Why?" Yan Xuehuai asked.

Li Baohuai smiled: "Which is more important than the 60% rice reserved compared to the only three wine licenses in Dawei?"

"You guessed that the court would issue a ban on alcohol. You took the lead in persuading the other three companies and were willing to exchange 60% of the rice for a wine license. They recommended you to go to Beijing to negotiate with the court, not only because this is your idea, but why?"

Yan Xuehuai's eyes were burning and she looked directly at Li Baohuai's eyes.

Li Baohuai smiled again: "It is precisely because the rice offering is of great importance that we don't want to attract the attention of our colleagues, so after entering Beijing, I found a remote place to stay, but you still found it. I think it's because of the Meng family."

"Meng Family?" Yan Xuehuai couldn't remember which Meng Family. The reason why they found Si Jichun was just because of Qian Wang's guidance.

Seeing that Yan Xuehuai's expression was not like a fake, Li Baohuai smiled and explained: "The reason why my grandfather chose me as his successor was not only because I was more talented than my uncles, but also because my grandmother, my grandmother's surname was Meng, and she came from the Meng family in the Central Plains. The late Empress Dowager Xiaoci was the eldest daughter of the Meng family."

Yan Xuehuai suddenly remembered that the current emperor's biological mother was Shufei, the surname Meng, and was Emperor Gaozong.

She said: "To be honest with Miss Li, we are sure that we found the Four Seasons Spring after guidance. The people who designated us are indeed related to the palace."

Li Baohuai nodded and continued, "This is not a secret, it is not in the Li family, but in Qingshui Town, it is not a secret. You can just listen to it as a play.

In the early years, for some reasons, my grandfather was sold from the Central Plains to Jiangnan when he was six years old. Later, he sold it to Qingshui Town. At the age of nine, he worked in the Li Family Wine House. Later, he married my grandmother. His grandmother's family also brewed wine, but he did not have a wine cellar at home. He relied on collecting the Li Family's wine tail to make wine, and the poor wine he produced was sold to the remote countryside.

Later, they gave birth to my mother. He had already remembered when he was abducted, but he couldn't go back far away. He knew that his surname was Meng and he was originally a young master.

He saved money silently, but because of his poor family, it was not until my grandmother and I finally saved enough money to go north when we were three years old. He asked my grandmother and grandmother to wait for him at home. After he recognized his ancestors, he came back to pick them up.

But he never came back after leaving. Grandma followed the grandmother and continued to make wine like before. Grandma, a woman, pushed a few jars of wine, walked around the villages and towns, and sold along the streets. In this way, she raised her mother and became ill due to overwork. She was less than thirty when she died.

After my grandmother passed away, there were only elderly grandmother and grandmother in the family. At that time, grandmother was only in her teenage years. She brought the wine jar into the car and went out to sell wine like grandmother. My grandfather happened to see him. He asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage and marry grandmother for my father.

My father is disabled and bad at it. My mother put me in a basket. She carried me on her back and pushed her to work in a winery. I grew up with wine lees since I was a child.

When I was three years old, a man from the Meng family came. My grandfather died in a bad life the second year after leaving Qingshui Town. The one who killed him was the friend he met on the road. The reason why he met that person was because the two looked similar. At first sight, his grandfather told the man about his life experience. However, he did not expect that the man killed him, used his life experience and found the Meng family. His grandfather's parents had long passed away, and there were only two sisters in the family who were born after he disappeared. In addition, he was very similar to his dead father, so no one in the Meng family saw it through. He married and had children in the Meng family, and was a master for five years.

Later, he met his fellow countryman who was in the past and was worried that his true identity would be exposed by his fellow countryman, so he actually killed someone to silence him. Fortunately, the sky had eyes, the case was solved, and his identity was revealed. The Meng family did not know until then that the real Meng family had been killed by this man five years ago.

The man said in prison that his grandfather had a wife and a daughter, and that his family made wine, but he did not say anything else until he beheaded.

The Meng family has looked for us intermittently, but the Great Wei Dynasty is so big that countless people make wine. It was not until many years later that they found Ah Niang. Unfortunately, both the grandmother and grandmother were no longer alive at that time, and my grandmother also married into the Li family.
