People can even make wine at a low price of 30 cents, so what's the use of their wine shop even if they advertise loudly?

"What's the matter? Master?"

Cui Jingtong's sudden action of throwing the bowl startled the butler, who asked him without knowing why.

A bad premonition also arises spontaneously!

Even the cheapest wine from Drunken Immortal is better than theirs, right?

Thinking of this, the butler quickly found a bowl, hurriedly poured the Qingfeng wine into the bowl, and took a sip.

"Master, there must be other ways!"

After tasting the wine from Xiaozhengtai Winery, the winner has been decided. Even if Cui Cheng still wants to make excuses, Cui Jingtong will never believe it.

"hehe……!"

Cui Jingtong suddenly sneered twice and said expressionlessly: "Their wine is clear and transparent, and the taste should be strong and soft. What advantage do we have?"

"This this……?"

Cui Cheng's brain was racing rapidly, trying to come up with a solution in the shortest possible time. After a moment, he had a flash of inspiration, "Master, if they can brew such good wine, our craftsmen may not be able to brew it. I'll let you know later."

The mistress will go back to Zuixianren Winery to buy some. It won’t take long before the craftsmen will be able to develop a wine that is almost the same, and by then we will have the conditions to compete with it!"

Previous regular customers have dismissed their wines. If they don't make improvements, even if they advertise on the front page every day, it will be in vain!

"For today's plan, this is the only way...!"

Cui Jingtong sat down on the cold stone bench, nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Besides, let the accountant prepare to pay 10,000 gold, and I have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Ten thousand gold? Is that much needed?"

In the past, the master often visited officials of the DPRK and China, and a few thousand gold was already a great gift. This time, he actually received 10,000 gold, which shocked Cui Cheng.

“It’s absolutely impossible to miss this number!”

After repeated setbacks, Cui Jingtong felt that he was cornered.

For the winery business, the previous 70,000 gold was spent. Is there still a shortfall of 70,000 gold?

Besides, if we spend these ten thousand gold, it’s hard to say whether the thing can be done!

"Many officials in the court are partial to this young master. Among the senior officials, the Prime Minister is the only one who is opposed to him. I am going to see if I can find out anything!"

"If we want to completely eliminate Zuixianren Winery, it seems we can only eradicate it from the source!"

"This ten thousand is just money to explore the road. If it can be done, it will cost more in the future!"

As Cui Jingtong spoke, he showed a stern expression.

"What do you mean, sir...?"

Cui Cheng took two steps back in shock.

The master went to see the prime minister this time not to open the way to the palace, but to find a way to deal with the young master?

No wonder it is said that ten thousand gold is just money to explore the road!

"Don't ask so many questions. Ask the craftsmen over there to quickly develop a wine of similar quality for me, and prepare the money and carriage!"

"After living so long, can you still let a stupid kid ruin my Cui family?"

Cui Jingtong said while gritting his back molars.

"yes!"

The housekeeper responded and quickly went to do it.

…

In Li Si's mansion, Feng Jie, Li Xin, and Lu Wan were all there.

The recent reform turmoil has been so big that several of them can't sit still and want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion three or five times a day!

"You are anxious, and I am anxious too. I have quietly sent people to send news to the Huns. As for when they will take action, I don't know!"

Li Si sat on the main seat and said with a sad face.

"The Huns are cruel by nature, wouldn't they...?"

Feng Jie said half of what he said and left half of it.

But everyone here understood what he meant!

"Don't worry, it won't happen. When those people get the news, they will at most take the opportunity to invade the border, create some chaos for the court, and let His Majesty put the reform aside for the time being!"

Li Si shook his head and said firmly.

"Your Majesty Prime Minister, Cui Jingtong of the Cui family would like to see you!"

While several people were discussing secretly, the servant guarding the door suddenly knocked on the door several times and reported softly.

"Cui family? Which Cui family?"

Li Si frowned and asked doubtfully.

"It's the big brewer who once sent tribute wine to the palace! They brought several big boxes and said they wanted to see the Lord!"

The servants report truthfully.

"The Cui family who makes wine? Box?"

"They, the Cui family, were given the title of tribute wine by His Majesty himself. It's useless even if they come to me!"

Li Si waved his hand, wanting his servants to dismiss him.

At this moment, Feng Jie suddenly said, "Why don't you meet, Prime Minister? Maybe the Cui family has something else to do!"

Li Si was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something, and then asked his servants to bring Cui Jingtong in.

"yes!"

The servant took the order and turned around to leave.

In just a few moments, a middle-aged man with a big belly in fine clothes came back.

"Cui Jingtong, a common man, has met the Prime Minister! He has met several adults!"

Seeing Li Si, Cui Jingtong bowed respectfully.

Although I am not familiar with the other people, I have met them all and know that they are officials from the DPRK and China, so I say hello to them all!

"Why is Shopkeeper Cui free to come to my place today?"

Li Si adjusted his state and asked with a smile.

"Open……!"

Cui Jingtong did not reply, but waved his hand to the servant behind him.

"Swish..."

The servant quickly opened several large wooden boxes.

The shining gold cake lay in the box, blinding Feng Jie and others!

Several people looked at each other and swallowed silently!

Obviously, these gold cakes have nothing to do with them. They were given to the Prime Minister!

"What does Shopkeeper Cui mean?"

In fact, not only Feng Jie and others were shocked, Li Si's heart was also trembling slightly, but he still pretended to be calm on his face.

It's not that they have never seen ten thousand gold before, but ten thousand gold was delivered to their door for no reason, and everyone would be tempted!

Cui Jingtong still didn't speak, but silently glanced at Feng Jie and others.

Li Si understood and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, Shopkeeper Cui, just say it. We are all our own!"

"Then I'll tell you straight...!"

Cui Jingtong smiled and nodded, and continued with a slight embarrassment: "To be honest with you, Prime Minister, the business of the Cui family wine shop has been very sluggish recently. Not only has the title of tribute wine been removed, but even the regular patrons have been taken away by the young master's Drunken Immortal.

The winery was robbed, and if this continues, the Cui family winery is likely to be closed down!"

"Is it so serious?"

Upon hearing about the little shot, Li Si immediately pretended to be concerned.

"Yeah, the young master really doesn't give us wine shops a way to survive. I'm okay. Occasionally, some neighbors come to buy wine. Other small wine shops are even worse. They have almost no business and can only face closure.

!”

Cui Jingtong added fuel to his complaints.

"Oh? You are making an enemy of all the wineries in the city!"

Feng Jie also pretended to be shocked.

"Who says it's not the case? Under the guise of serving the country and the people, this young master is actually doing things to oppress our people. The reason I came here today is to let the Prime Minister make decisions for us poor people!"
