    The banquet lasted until midnight. Because the five kings were too drunk, during the second half of the banquet, people kept getting drunk and being carried out. Some people who were close to the house were thrown away.  Get on the carriage and take them back to the house. Most of the people who are farther away can only stay at Li Min's house.  Only then did Li Min understand why his palace was so big. It was probably prepared for this situation, otherwise there would really be no place for these drunkards to sleep?  Li Shimin also drank a lot, and finally stayed with Concubine Yang. Li Min could only give up his dormitory to them, and spent the night with Li Yong, a drunkard.

    It wasn¡¯t until three o¡¯clock in the morning the next day that Li Min got up with his head dizzy. When he opened his eyes, he heard Li Yong screaming. Who told him to drink so much yesterday? Is it strange that he doesn¡¯t have a headache today?  The two of them had little appetite, so they each drank a bowl of spicy and sour belly soup as if they had had breakfast.

    When Li Min and Li Yong arrived at the front hall, they found that the servants were cleaning up the venue. After all, it was too late at the end of the banquet. Li Min was considerate of the servants and did not let them clean up overnight.

    "Sixth brother, Jiuling, why are you up? Uncle Wang and I have already sent away most of the guests." At this time, Li Ke happened to come in from the outside, picked up the tea cup in front of Li Min and took a sip before saying.

    "The emperor and his mother are also gone?" Li Min asked.

    "My father is going to court, and so are the civil and military officials. Of course they have to get up early. Do you think everyone is as leisurely as you?" Li Ke said with some emotion. At dawn today, the civil and military officials who were going to court were all going to go to court one by one.  He was holding his head with a splitting headache, including his father. It was okay to drink and have fun, but he could not neglect the government because of it. This was the most basic quality of a wise king.

    After a while, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and Li Xiaojie also entered the main hall. It is estimated that all the guests from last night have left.  Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong are not serving in the court now, so they don't need to go to court.

    "Rokuro, after last night's banquet, the name of Wu Wang Zui has probably spread throughout the city. You need to worry more about the brewing workshop. Try to put Wu Wang Zui on the market as soon as possible. Then we can be at home  You can accept the payment with peace of mind!" Li Daozong is indeed a money-crazed man, and he started discussing the brewing workshop right after the banquet. However, now that Five Kings Drunk is famous, many wine lovers are probably paying attention. It is indeed a good opportunity to open up sales.

    "Uncle Wang, don't worry. Although my nephew has been busy with the banquet these days, people have been keeping an eye on the brewing workshop. Now the foundation of the land has been laid and construction can begin immediately. The brewing craftsmen are also here.  It is already in my house and has been organized. Who is responsible for which area has been clearly divided. Once part of the workshop is built at the end of the month, we can start work immediately. The remaining part can be built while brewing wine. It will definitely not be wasted.  This is a great opportunity!" Li Min also said with a smile. Although he only held 20% of the shares, because he proposed the matter first, the management rights are in his hands. Although Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong hold a large number of shares,  , but could not get involved in the operation of the brewery.

    "I can rest assured that Liu Lang will do the work!" Li Xiaogong said with a big wave of his hand. Yesterday's banquet made him quite addicted. He had a great time drinking and eating meat with a group of comrades.

    "Well, that's right, but don't stop the small workshop in your house. I have several restaurants under my name. I can sell the Wu Wang Zui in small quantities. How about Liu Lang's wish?" Li Daozong twisted his beard and said with a smile.  This little calculation is really good. By selling Wu Wang Zui in his restaurant, he can continue to accumulate popularity for Wu Wang Zui and build the reputation of the restaurant through Wu Wang Zui. No loss on either side.

    "Haha, Uncle Wang is very scheming, but Liulang can't favor one over the other. Uncle Wang and I in Hejian also have restaurants under our names. This opportunity to become famous cannot be missed in vain." Li Ke also said with a smile, he didn't want to let only Li Daozong  One family takes advantage of this.

    "Let's just do it this way. Don't argue anymore. All the five kings drunk produced by Liulang's house will be distributed to each family according to their shares, and then the profits will be distributed after deducting the cost." Li Xiaogong was afraid that Li Daozong would be so petty.  Li and Li Ke argued, so he spoke.

    "What Uncle Wang said is true, but the price of Wuwang Zui must be unified. No matter what the price of other people's resale in the future, the price of the wine coming out of our brewing workshop must be unified. This will not only establish a reputation, but also  It's easier to manage." Li Min immediately agreed. He also intended to hand over the remaining wine from the banquet to Wang Zihao for sale, but he didn't expect that Li Daozong had the same idea.

    "Okay, just do what Brother Wang and Liu Lang said!" Although Li Daozong was greedy for money, he was also a shrewd man, and he immediately agreed.

    A few people chatted for a while. Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong drank too much last night and couldn't get over it yet, so they got up and left. Li Ke and Li Xiaojie also said goodbye together, but when they left, Li Min had already let go.  The people distributed the remaining wine in proportion and asked them to take it away separately.?The wine produced is also distributed according to this proportion.

    After finishing all these things, Li Min went to sleep again. When Li Min regained his energy in the afternoon, he heard Wen'er report that Gao Zhong brought Wang Zihao to see him in the morning, but Wen'er saw that Li Min was too tired, so he didn't  Wake him up. That Wang Zihao is probably still waiting in the living room of the palace.

    Li Min felt ashamed after hearing this. It was Wang Zihao who asked Gao Zhong to call him because of the sales issue of Wuwang Zui. He didn't expect that he had slept for so long. It must have been at least four or five hours since morning.  However, Wen'er also felt sorry for herself, and Li Min couldn't blame him, so he had to get dressed in a hurry and go to the living room of the front house.

    Li Min came to the living room and saw Wang Zihao sitting there drinking tea, with a handsome boy standing behind him. The boy looked impatient and restless, but there was no trace of anxiety on Wang Zihao's face.  Li Min secretly admired him. He was only in his thirties, but he had such self-cultivation. No wonder he could become one of the top ten wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City before?

    "Hahaha~, I drank a few too many drinks last night and kept Zihao waiting for a long time!" Li Min came in and said with a smile, a little apologetic in his tone. He has adapted to the identity of the prince and will not act easily.  Be humble to others, even if it is him who is wrong.

    "Haha, word of the Five Kings Banquet at the prince's house last night has spread throughout the city. Although Zihao is of low status and is not lucky enough to see it in person, he is still yearning for it after hearing about it. If he doesn't get drunk at such a grand event, wouldn't it be a shocking event in his life?"  Wang Zihao was still so good at talking, and he praised Li Min to the sky with just a few words, but the boy behind him was full of disdain, and looked at Li Min with a very unkind look, as if he had some deep hatred for Li Min.  .

    Although Li Min was surprised, he didn't take the servant seriously yet, so he ignored it, chatted with Zihao for a few more words, and then got back to the topic: "Zihao, with your shrewdness, you should be able to guess that today's name is called  What¡¯s your purpose here?¡±

    "Your Highness is drunk because of the Five Kings?" Wang Zihao perked up and bowed his head in salute.

    "Yes, the brewery was jointly funded and built by five people including me and King Hejian. The management is all mine, but I don't have a suitable sales channel, so I thought of you. I wonder if you have any experience in this area?"  Experience?" Li Min said with a smile on his face. He had promised at the beginning that he would repay the Wang family a thousand times what he owed them before. Tea sales are just the beginning, and there will be bigger business for him in the future.  Take care of.

    "Hmph, our Wang family used to have the largest brewing workshop in Chang'an City. We brewed 20% of the wine sold in various restaurants in Chang'an City. How could we not be familiar with it?" Before Wang Zihao could answer, the man behind him  Instead, the boy spoke first, with a very unkind tone.

    "Don't be rude. How can you, a servant, speak in front of His Highness!" Wang Zihao was startled by the servant's boldness and jumped up in a hurry to complain. There was a nervous look on his face, obviously because he was afraid that Li Min would blame him.

    This boy's words made Li Min pay attention to him again. Judging from his age, he was probably about the same age as himself. He had a thin body and slightly dark skin, but he had a very delicate appearance, especially his pair of big black eyes that were very smart.  However, Li Min felt uncomfortable looking at him.

    The boy also noticed that Li Min was paying attention to him. He was obviously very stubborn at first, but he was obviously not as thick-skinned as Li Min, and a blush appeared on his slightly dark face.  And Li Min suddenly noticed that the boy's hands were very white and tender. They didn't look like serving hands at all. They were even much whiter and tenderer than the skin on his face. Then he looked at his slender neck and there was no Adam's apple on his chest.  There was also a slight bulge, and Li Min immediately understood what was going on.  Turns out to be a tomboy disguised as a boy!

    "Haha, it doesn't matter. It's cute for a kid to talk quickly!" Li Min didn't point it out, but said in a very old-fashioned way. Apparently he forgot that he was actually about the same age as the other person.

    The tomboy was scolded by Wang Zihao. Although he was still unconvinced, he still retreated obediently, but he kept mumbling something in his mouth, looking very complaining.

    "Since your Wang family is also in the wine business, I can rest assured that I will leave the Wuwangzui consignment business to you. What do you think?" Li Min said with a smile. He didn't expect the Wang family's business to be so big.  , the wine they brew can account for 20% of the market share, and their family not only makes wine and sells wine, but also has several other pillar industries. No wonder they have become one of the top businessmen in Chang'an City?

    What Li Min didn¡¯t expect was that Wang Zihao didn¡¯t have any expression of joy after hearing this. Instead, his face was alternately excited and depressed, and he was obviously struggling in his heart.  After a while, he actually gave a very surprising answer: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I really can't agree to it!"
