Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin were riding horses to Jinchang City this time. Recently, they made some money by selling alcohol. Luo Yong sent some livestock to the empty cattle in the county government, and bought some horses and camels.

The two of them walked without any haste along the way. They set off from Changle County in the early morning. When they arrived in Jinchang City, it was almost noon.

Governor Chen asked someone to prepare meals for them and arranged a resting place for them.

In the afternoon, Luo Yong went to see Governor Chen alone. Governor Chen first told him some local government affairs, and then praised him as he should praise him, encourage him as he should encourage him, and the conversation between his superiors and subordinates is probably just like this.

"There is nothing else. It's just this winemaking. Recently, someone talked to me. It is said that it is not easy to produce grain here. It consumes a lot of grain. I'm afraid it's not beneficial to people's livelihood."

After the previous demographic was over, Chen Jiao, the governor of Guazhou, said to Luo Yong.

"Although brewing costs food, the people can also sell food to make money. Why is it not beneficial to people's livelihood?" Luo Yong bowed.

"The harvest year is still fine. If it is a famine, if there is no food left in the people's homes, how can they survive?" said the governor Chen.

"Working about farming and animal husbandry is just about the weather. Although there is a lot of grain in the year of a bumper harvest, it often cannot be sold at a good price. The winery consumes a lot of grain and makes a lot of profit. Even in the year of a bumper harvest, it is willing to collect grain at a high price. People exchange grain for money. If it is a disaster, they can use money to exchange grain. What's wrong?" Luo Yong said so.

Governor Chen sighed and said, "I'm afraid that even if I have money, I won't be able to buy food."

"As long as I always like the people and the rich, every household has money, how can merchants not come? At that time, the products from all over the country come, and there should be no worries about food." Luo Yong said.

"Your words are naturally reasonable. But when the disaster year comes, even if only one person starved to death in Changle County, the world will say that it was the fault of the winery," said Governor Chen.

"Thank you for your advice. How could I not know that the governor is thinking about me? But there is no perfect solution in this world. Since I want to do this, I am not afraid of being criticized." Luo Yong said solemnly.

"Since you have decided, I won't say anything more." Chen Jiao sighed and said:

"Although Sanlang is young, he is a rare talent for governing the world. After half a year in Guazhou, he has already managed Changle County quite well. Chen is ashamed of himself."

"The governor is too honored!" Luo Yong quickly bowed.

...

After a while, Luo Yong came out of the reception hall. Qiao Junlin was waiting outside at this time. He looked at the expression on Luo Yong's face and saw no clues, so he spoke and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's getting late, let's go back to Changle County earlier." Luo Yong smiled and said, then asked the servants in the Duke's Mansion to help them lead the horses out.

After the two rode out of the city and ran a long distance along the post road, Luo Yong then pulled the reins, slowed down the speed, and let the horses walk slowly along the post road.

"How do you think of Chen Jiao?" Luo Yong asked Qiao Junlin.

"You are more polite, but you are not sincere enough." Qiao Junlin said bluntly.

When a person like Luo Yong came to Changle County, if he met Shangguan, who was more passionate, he might roll up his sleeves and work with him. He went to the countryside like the governor Hao. I heard that he is still helping people build water conservancy projects in the mountains.

Chen Jiao looked a little different. When Luo Yong came to Changle County, he was treated as the governor of Guazhou. After that, Luo Yong did so many things in Changle County, but he didn't show any signs.

"What did he tell you today?" Qiao Junlin asked.

"He said that I am a talent for governing the world, but he was ashamed of himself." Luo Yong said with a smile.

"Tsk." Qiao Junlin had seen a big scene in Chang'an City. When he heard this, his brows frowned.

"Fengshutong" says: "The chief official has a horse, and the observer is happy with him, and the rider is happy with his words. He will not drive him, and he will die."

This is a person who is a sager, and has a sinister heart. All scholars are scholars. How can anyone understand this principle? Who is truly a talented person who cares about his juniors and subordinates? Judging from Chen Jiao’s meaning, it seems that he wants to wear a high hat for Luo and then use him as a donkey.

Luo Luzi:...

Qiao Junlin was right. After meeting Luo Yong, Chen Jiao wrote a memorial to send it to Chang'an City.

The memorial was praised by Luo Yong's talent and his intelligence, and then wrote down his conversation with Luo Yong about brewing.

This move seems to be praised, but in fact it may not be impossible to take it out in advance. If something happens one day, then Luo used himself to do this and he would not take responsibility.

There are a few of the old foxes in Chang'an City who can't understand them. Some people look down on Chen Jiao's behavior, and some people think this is human nature.

On the morning court that day, the saint mentioned the winemaking incident, allowing all officials in the court to express their opinions.

In this court, there are actually not many people who really care about the pros and cons of brewing wine. Some people had the same feeling as helping the world when they first became officials, but they were immersed in this power struggle for many years and were gradually involved in various struggles of interest. Many times they spoke according to the position of all parties and were less concerned about right and wrong.

Today's discussion on brewing wine is actually a rebuttal between Sailor and Paul.

Those who used Luo Yong to get out of Chang'an City naturally didn't want him to have another chance to turn around.

"I heard that Lishi Luosanlang could make strange wine, and the Turkic Khan loved it very much. We were officials in the same dynasty as him, but we didn't know the taste of the white wine."

This means that I don’t know the taste of white wine, but it actually implies that the emperor on their side had drunk the white wine before he could drink it from the Turks.

"I heard that the wine was already on the way. Changle County is quite far away from Beijing, so it will take some time." Someone said.

"I heard that when Luo Yong took office, he walked in the Hexi Corridor, and the Turkic Khan asked people to look for him. It was at that time that he presented the white wine to the Turkic Khan."

"Since Luo Yong is a good talent, it is not surprising that the Turkic Khan has the intention to accept it. Besides, Luo Yong's family is in Chang'an, how could he have a desire to look outward?"

"Luo Yong has been in Beijing for quite some time, and we don't know that he will make this strange wine."

"Hmph, there are so many things you don't know."

"Although Luo Yong is young, his cunning is already so deep."

"I heard that he made friends in Changle County and the Hu people from various countries in the Western Regions did not say that he was not good."

"Sage! This person should be guarded!"

The debate in the court became more and more intense, and gradually, the wind direction turned to Luo's threat theory.

"When it comes to those Hu Shangs, I remembered a few jokes." Just as these people were arguing in full swing, a full voice suddenly came out in a cold voice.

"Now is the time to tell jokes?" Someone immediately retorted him.

"Hi, it's also related to Na Luo's self." The man said.

"Your dear, come and listen." The emperor also spoke at this time.

Although sometimes, it can give him some breathing space to attract the fire of war to others, if the fire burns too strong and burns the capable officials under him to death, it would be unsightly.

"These jokes are now widely circulated in Chang'an City, and the saints have never heard of them?" the man said wonder.

"No." said the saint.

Lao Li has never heard of those pornographic jokes that Luo used, because no one has mentioned this to the emperor. Who has nothing to do when he is full and has nothing to do? What if he asks you to tell him a story on the spot, would you say it or not?

Then you must say it if you don’t say it. It would be fine if he could say he was happy. What if he was unhappy? What if he was labeled as Du Jun, it would be that the old birthday boy was hanging himself, and he thought his life was too long.

"Let me tell me a paragraph." The emperor said it indeed at this time.

"..." The man thought about it, oh, this is in the court after all, and it is not good to be too unserious, so he picked up a not-so-yellow person and said it.

"Yan is a shop in the south of the city. There is a harrier squid hanging at the door of the shop. The harrier squid can speak people's words. Whenever a guest comes to the door, he says, "Welcome to come."

"..." The emperor sat on the dragon couch with a smile and listened.

"..." The officials' hearts were mixed with all kinds of feelings and war between heaven and earth. I wonder what evening it was.

"One day, a little lady came to the shop. The little lady was very novel about the harrier, so she went in and out of the shop door and listened to the welcome six times."

"At the seventh time, the harrier was furious and shouted, "Shopkeeper! Someone is playing with your bird!"

"Hahahahaha!"

emperor:"……"

Ministers: "…"

"What does this joke have to do with Luo Yong?" After a while, the emperor calmed down first.

"These jokes are coming from Nara Saburo," the man said.

"Oh, I don't know that Luo Aiqing has such talent." The emperor laughed.

All the ministers didn't say anything, and it seemed that nothing was appropriate to say.

After being interrupted by this joke, the remarks about Luo using this person to be deeply scheming and using this person as a guard seemed to have become a joke.

So today's morning court ended in awkward manner. The emperor obviously wanted to stand on Luo Yong's side this time.
