    "Oh? Why are you unwilling to accept such a big business?" Li Min was surprised and slightly angry. At the same time, he was more curious. You must know that people in the Tang Dynasty were fond of wine, and their consumption of wine was astonishing. The Five Kings were drunk.  Once this epoch-making distilled liquor is released, it will definitely eliminate a large number of liquors on the market. By then, just relying on the output of Wuwangzui, Li Min and several other shareholders will become the top richest people in the Tang Dynasty.  As the seller, the Wang family can also get huge profits from it. I believe it will definitely not be less than the income of the Wang family in its heyday. Now Wang Zihao actually rejected Li Min's kindness, which means giving up a good opportunity for the Wang family to rise again.  ?

    "Your Highness, if the wine making workshop of Wuwangzui was owned by His Highness alone, then the villain would dare to take this business. But now the wine making workshop is jointly owned by His Highness and the King of Jiangxia and others, and the King of Jiangxia and the King of Hejian  There are many wine merchants below, and together they have monopolized a lot of markets. If the villain monopolizes the sales of Wu Wang Zui, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of these people. After all, the King of Jiangxia and the King of Hejian are the same as His Highness.  They are all shareholders. Now the villain is too weak. If they do something secretly, not only will it be difficult for the villain to do business, but it will also affect the sales of Wu Wangzui, so the villain dare not take this business." Wang Zihao bowed to the ground.  reported back.

    Li Min narrowed his eyes. He admired this Wang Zihao more and more. A person who could remain calm in front of such a big business was definitely not a simple person. Although he was just a businessman, as long as he could give  If he gets a chance, he can definitely do a great job. It seems that he is a talent worth cultivating!  Li Min secretly made up his mind.

    "Okay, it's rare for you to be so determined, but if I hand over the sales to others, I don't feel confident, what can you do?" The reason why Wang Zihao did not dare to take this business was because he was afraid of monopolizing such a large business and causing trouble.  Li Min had an idea about the jealousy of other merchants in the royal family's name, and it is estimated that Wang Zihao also had the same idea.

    When Wang Zihao heard Li Min's question, he already understood what Li Min meant. He raised his head and glanced at Li Min. He knelt down and said with gratitude, "If His Highness Prince Liang trusts this villain, then the villain is willing to come forward and contact other people."  The businessmen under the royal family's name can jointly form a chamber of commerce to specialize in the sales of this wine, so that everyone can make a profit, which is definitely more appropriate than doing it alone!"

    "Okay! Zihao is indeed so cheerful. Just go ahead and take care of the business of the Chamber of Commerce. I will help you say hello to the King of Jiangxia and let the merchants obey your orders. If anyone dares not to cooperate, just report it to them.  I'm here, I want to see who dares to stop our five princes from getting rich?" Li Min said and laughed while clasping his hands at the end. After this chamber of commerce was organized, the Wang family was completely tied to his Prince Liang's palace.  , the talent of Wang Zihao can be regarded as officially becoming one of his subordinates. It is no longer like before. Although it is nominally affiliated with Prince Liang's Mansion, in fact, the Wang family is still an independent individual and is not controlled by the Prince's Mansion.

    "Yes, the villain will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!" Regarding Wang Zihao's decision, the tomboy behind him kept tugging on his clothes. After all, for a family, being a vassal of others is not a good thing.  Good thing.

    But how could Wang Zihao not know that after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, the Wang family would no longer be able to do without the support of Prince Liang's Mansion?  But this was a decision he had made after careful consideration before coming.  From the roasted tea he is currently selling on a consignment basis to the rumored Five Kings drunkenness outside, coupled with the rumors from the outside world and his own feelings about meeting Li Min these two times, Wang Zihao has a keen sense of the character of His Highness Prince Liang.  Extraordinary, not only has vision and courage, but most importantly, he can always produce some new goods with great economic value in his house. It is these that make Wang Zihao determined to go with His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang.  Together, he can seek broader development prospects for the Wang family behind him.

    Conquering such a talent made Li Min feel very good. Wang Zihao was also very knowledgeable and reported the income from tea sales these days to Li Min. The huge number made Li Min smile from ear to ear.

    "Gululu~" Just as the two were chatting happily, Li Min suddenly heard a strange sound. He looked along the sound and found the tomboy behind Wang Zihao standing there with a red face, obviously very embarrassed.

    "Gululu~" The strange voice sounded again, and now Li Min understood that it was the tomboy's stomach growling. This is a natural reaction when a person is hungry.

    "What's going on? You didn't eat at noon?" Li Min's face darkened. He remembered that Wang Zihao had come in the morning. The palace should have prepared meals for them at noon, but now the tomboy's stomach kept growling, which was not the same at all.  It looked like he had eaten, which made him think of a possibility.

    "Huh, the servants in your house are so rude. We were here from morning to afternoon, but no one paid attention to us. If it weren't for my fathermy master insistedIf you stay here, we will go back long ago.  "Although the tomboy blushed with embarrassment, he still jumped out very dissatisfied and said, but he suddenly paused when he addressed Wang Zihao.

    "Humph, it's really outrageous, Wen'er, call the steward here!" Li Min was also a little angry. He kept this Wang Zihao of great use, but the servants of the palace dared to be so negligent.  He, the King of Liang, is playing devil¡¯s advocate!

    After a while, the fat steward in charge of entertaining guests ran over panting, and Li Min cursed him.  In fact, Li Min could guess what happened. The steward must have thought that Wang Zihao was just a businessman, so he looked down on them at all. Of course, he couldn't prepare meals for them. This kind of contempt for people can be seen everywhere.

    "Remember, Mr. Wang will be a distinguished guest in the house from now on. If I hear you neglecting a distinguished guest again, you should stop being a steward and go directly to clean my latrine!" Li Min scolded for a while.  Only then did he get angry. It was not worth removing the manager for such a trivial matter. It could only make him remember a little longer.

    "Yes, yes, yes, I obey! I don't dare to wait for your distinguished guests any longer!" The fat steward made Li Min scold him stupidly. This was the first time since Li Min was injured that he had seen his master lose such a big temper.  , Fortunately, Li Min did not punish himself, which made the steward secretly happy.

    "What are you doing kneeling there, waiting to clean the latrine? Why don't you hurry up and prepare the banquet!" Li Min saw that the steward was still in a daze, so he went up angrily and kicked him and cursed. The tomboy was amused by Li Min's scolding.  I couldn't help but burst out laughing. For a moment, my little daughter showed off her posture. How could she still look like a tomboy?

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, I¡¯ll go immediately!¡± The big fat man was kicked awake by Li Min, and he hurriedly got up and ran away.  Li Min saw that he had nearly two to three hundred kilograms of fat on his body, but he didn't expect that he could run 100 meters in fifteen or six seconds. It seemed that there was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in his palace!

    With Li Min's urging, the banquet was quickly prepared. The dishes were basically the same as those at yesterday's banquet. Because the materials prepared for yesterday's banquet were not used up at all, so the kitchen quickly prepared the dishes as soon as they heard that the banquet was going to be prepared.  It was served, but the half-person-high hot pot was too big, so the kitchen used a small charcoal stove and a small pot instead.

    The tomboy is now a servant, so of course it is impossible for her to sit at the same table as the master. The steward was about to take her away, but was stopped by Li Min, and then said to Zihao with a smile: "Zihao, I treat others with sincerity, and I also hope that others will treat her with sincerity."  Please be sincere and introduce this young lady to me!" Wen'er and Hua'er, who were waiting next to them, were both startled by Li Min's words. They really didn't realize that this young man was actually a girl.

    Wang Zihao saw that Li Min had noticed it, and felt a little embarrassed at the moment. He pulled over the girl dressed as a servant and introduced: "Prince Qi, this is my daughter Xijun. She usually helps me take care of my family's property. Despite her young age,  , but she is very talented in business, but it is a pity that she is a girl. She dresses like a man just for convenience. I hope Your Highness will not blame her."

    Wang Zihao obviously didn't tell the truth. In fact, it was because Wang Xijun was very beautiful and he was afraid that Li Min would take advantage of her, so he asked his daughter, who was his right-hand man, to dress up as a servant. After all, this Liang Wang's previous reputation was not very good. Unexpectedly,  Li Min still saw it.

    "Haha, it doesn't matter. In my eyes, there is actually no difference between men and women. Women are even better than men in some aspects. So if Miss Wang is really qualified, Zihao can hand over some of the affairs of the Liquor Merchant Association.  Let her handle it." Li Min, who comes from a later generation, certainly has no prejudice against women. After all, there are so many strong businesswomen in later generations, it is not surprising at all.

    "Are you two finished, am I going to starve to death?" Wang Xijun said very dissatisfied when she saw that Li Minhe and her father kept talking, but she could only smell the fragrance and couldn't put down her chopsticks.

    "Hahaha~, Miss Wang is quick to talk, come on, come on, come and try the cooking skills of my chef. These dishes are the same as those at the Five Kings Banquet yesterday." Li Min also felt that he was rude, after all, he was already hungry.  It had been a day, so he hurriedly invited them to eat.

    This little girl was not polite at all. She picked up a piece of beggar's chicken with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed twice and spit out a piece of bone before swallowing it all. She looked very hungry.  Wang Zihao was obviously very arrogant towards his daughter. Looking at her unladylike eating style, he shook his head, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating slowly.

    Li Min was a little hungry after sleeping all day, so he rolled up the roast duck in pancakes and ate it. The banquet last night was too lively, and he didn't even taste the roast duck.  Seeing the novel way of eating roast duck, Wang Xijun also imitated Li Min and tasted it. He was immediately conquered by the mellow, fat and not greasy roast duck. He started to compete with Li Min for the roast duck. One duck was not enough for the two of them.  , in the end Li Min could only ask someone to bring another one.

    ?"The Feast of the Five Kings is indeed well-deserved. Not to mention other things, these delicious dishes alone will definitely make food lovers go crazy for them!" Wang Zihao tasted several special dishes and found that all of them were delicious.  They were all extremely delicious. He had eaten all over Chang'an City before, but no chef in a restaurant could make such delicious food. He couldn't help but sigh.

    "The food is indeed delicious, but why is there not the famous Five Kings Zui in Chang'an? How can we treat guests without wine?" Wang Xijun said dissatisfiedly while rolling the roast duck with both hands. He and Li Min were rushing to grab it just now.  Now his little face is covered with sauce, and he looks like a cat with a painted face.

    "Haha, you were all on an empty stomach just now. The Five Kings were drunk and too strong. It's easy to get drunk on an empty stomach. That's why we served the food first. Now the wine can be served!" Li Min clapped his hands as he spoke, and Wen'er, who had been prepared nearby,  He came in with a bottle of wine and poured it for the three of them.

    "Hmm~, the wine is so fragrant and mellow!" Wang Zihao seemed to be a good drinker too. He smelled the aroma of the wine with an intoxicated look on his face, and then he couldn't help but take a sip without waiting for Li Min to pick up the glass.  , he only felt as if a ball of fire that was not scalding entered his mouth, then passed through his throat and entered his abdomen, and then a very special coolness spread, making people feel comfortable and wanted to moan.

    "Hahaha~, good wine. I remember that Mr. Wang usually tastes countless wines and claims to know all the wines in the world. But today I found out that there is such a fine wine in the world. One sip makes people feel like there is nothing shocking in this life!  " Wang Zihao drank a glass of wine and immediately laughed and praised. He usually behaves very respectfully when he sees Li Min. This is the first time that Li Min has seen his true nature.

    "It really tastes so good, let me try it!" Wang Xijun was not surprised by her father's appearance. She picked up the Five Kings drunk in front of her and poured it into her mouth. Li Min also wanted to see this girl make a fool of herself, so she smiled  He didn't say anything to stop her.

    "Pfft~, it's spicyit's so spicy to meWater~Give me water quickly!" This kind of strong liquor is not suitable for girls at all. In addition, Wang Xijun doesn't drink much at ordinary times, so how can he bear the drunkenness of the Five Kings?  The taste was so good that as soon as I drank it, I immediately squirted it out again, sticking out my tongue and reaching out to ask Li Min for water.

    Li Min couldn't help but laugh when he saw how pitiful she was with tears streaming down her face. However, there was a limit to joking. He immediately asked Wen'er to pour her a glass of juice. As a result, the girl drank most of it in one go.  After eating a few more mouthfuls of food, I finally regained my composure.

    "It's a waste, it's such a waste!" Wang Zihao looked at the wine on the ground with a heartbroken expression. It seemed that he really liked wine more than usual, and he didn't even care about his own daughter's embarrassment.

    "You did you do it on purpose?" The little girl calmed down and asked angrily, pointing at Li Min's nose. In her opinion, Li Min must have deliberately not told her that the Five Kings were so drunk, just to see  She made a fool of herself.

    "Haha~, you obviously don't know how to drink, but you still blame others? You see, your father always takes a small sip to taste the properties of the wine. How can he pour it directly into his mouth like you?" Li Min said with a look on his face.  With a bad smile, Five Kings Drunk made many people suffer from the beginning last night. After all, it was difficult for Tang Dynasty people who were used to drinking light wine to adapt to such strong wine at first. Only people like Wang Zihao who knew how to taste  Only those who drink wine can taste the true taste of wine from the very beginning.

    "Hmph!" Wang Xijun couldn't resist Li Min, so she could only vent her anger on the delicious food in front of her. She didn't dare to drink it because Wu Wang was drunk, but she liked the juice just now so much that she couldn't put it down and drank a lot.
