Chapter 956 956: V I have a 10% commission [please give monthly votes]
Shen Tang: "..."
Gong Xiqiu is less eager to see Xun Ding than she thought.
On the other side, Gong Xi Lai chuckled, his eyes flashing with joy. Gong Xi glanced at her: "Did I say something wrong? Xun Yong'an is just a sweetheart, but also a troublesome one. Head. "
The enemy has been feuding with Gong Xi for many years.
I was as stupid as a pig back then. Why didn't I strike harder and beat the person to death when they first met?
Gong Xilai: "As long as Yong'an treats me sincerely."
If it were anyone else, no matter how unhappy he was, he would not pour cold water on the bride on the eve of the wedding, and he would still do so. The newcomers are somewhat thin-faced, but Gong Xiqiu is not an ordinary person. If you have any dissatisfaction, you will say it on the spot without any internal friction: "Humph, there is a saying in the art of war: seek the top, and you will get the middle; seek the middle, and you will get the bottom; seek the bottom, and you will lose! Sincerity is the most basic, if you ask for the sincerity, you will be defeated. It's like marching to fight for help. You don't know how many times you will be defeated."
Gong Xilai said, "My little sister can afford to be defeated."
< br>"What you said makes sense. Alai must keep in mind what he said today - you can afford to lose, you can afford to lose at any time, and the one who can't afford to lose is Xun Ding!" Gong Xiqiu agreed, "Xun Yong'an His strength has improved a lot over the years, but he is not as talented as my brother at his age. Unless he encounters some unexpected encounter, he will have to be prepared to sleep with his eyes open for the rest of his life."
Gong Xilai nodded with a smile.
Because his little friend was waiting aside, Gong Xiqiu didn’t bother to disturb his sister too much. He turned around and asked the maid to wait on Gong Xi to try on the wedding dress. If there is anything that doesn’t fit, it can be changed. Pregnant women should not stay up late at night, so let her go to bed early when the work is done.
Gong Xilai agreed one by one.
Shen and Tang walked out of the door one after another.
She tutted: "Didn't you say you were not in the mood to drink?"
"It wasn't there just now, but it is now."
Fengluo, the capital of Wangdu, has the largest variety of wine shops with the purest taste in Kang State. The big owners behind these wine shop chain stores have mysterious backgrounds and have great hands and eyes. The quantity of various fine wines is limited and first-come, first-served. Even high-ranking officials and families must make reservations in advance.
Shen Tang stepped forward and asked the shop owner for a few jars of wine.
The two reunited after a long separation and sat on the roof of the wine shop drinking.
Gong Xiqiu opened the mud seal and took a sip. He thought of something and turned to look at Shen Tang: "Can you drink now?"
Shen Tang was speechless: "My wine taste is very good."
In the past, I would get drunk as soon as I drank it, and my evil thoughts would change as soon as I got drunk. Now I am still drunk, but my mind is sober, and there will be no Gongxi feud. A brutal picture of worry. Gong Xiqiu got a positive reply, and then he felt relieved and took a sip: "It's very familiar."
Shen Tang raised his neck and took a few sips. Occasionally, there was a cold liquid that was too late to swallow, and it slipped from the corner of his lips to his chin and down to his neck and clothes. He didn't care, the hand holding the wine jar was casually placed on his bent knees, and his body weight was tilted back, resting on his left hand that was supporting the roof. She swayed the wine jar and said with a sly smile: "Tsk, you can taste it in one bite? Alas, I am not easy to be the leader of the country."
Gong Xiqiu lowered his head and glanced at the wine shop below.
The sign hanging in the wine shop has a special mark.
The imprint is exactly the same as the pattern on the tribal statue.
Shen Tang didn’t pay attention to his reaction and was still complaining: “Tell me, which country’s leader should be as stretched as I am, forcing the leader to sell wine. Back then, in I used to sell liquor on the streets of Xiaocheng, but now I just changed my location.”
Mr. Xiqiu was almost speechless: "You are so poor?"
Shen Tang said seriously: "It is much poorer than you think!"
The word poor is far from Gongxi Qiuman, he is not I can understand the pain of having no money: “Don’t the rulers of the country have income?”
Shen Tang exclaimed: "How can we manage that enough?"
Under normal circumstances, it is enough. As the head of the country, Shen Tang is the largest landowner in Kang State. The income from the royal court is her private income. There were income from Wangzhuang, tributes from officials and envoys, and income from certain specialty items, but these were far from enough to cover the huge debt owed by Xun Zhen. To make matters worse, the profits from salt and iron that could still be shared during the Caotai Team period were gone.
The old boy Xun Zhen took it all to the treasury!
Shen Tang was not angry at Xun Zhen's move. After all, unclear separation of public and private treasury can easily lead to financial imbalances. If salaries cannot be provided to officials, it will be easy for the officials below to exploit those below. Common people, a good situation is ruined in one moment.
In the first two or three years after the founding of Kangguo, people came to the Ministry of Household Affairs asking for money every day. Chic.
He is quite interesting. In order to compensate for Shen Tang's losses, Shen Tang can receive a monthly salary from the treasury.
Yes, the leader of the country is also a wage earner.
In order to turn the private treasury income into positive, Shen Tang had to use other ideas. Although Wangzhuang's income was stable, the money came in too slowly, so Shen Tang had to discuss with Xu Jie how to get rid of poverty and become rich. Finally, Xu Jie had an idea and remembered the spiritual wine from back then.
Because the Caotai team rose up in the later period, Shen Tang made a lot of money from silk, salt, iron and other products, and was financially wealthy. At that time, the situation was chaotic, luxury consumption was in decline, and those who could afford spiritual wine There weren't many people, so it became a tasteless piece of food.
After Xu Jie’s inventory of spiritual wine was sold out, he did not replenish it. However, as the situation stabilized, more wealthy people came to inquire about spiritual wine. Xu Jie felt that there was much to be done!
Shen Tang rubbed his chin: [That's okay. 】
The so-called spiritual wine is also easy to make.
Today, she is not the silly and cute newbie that she was when she first arrived. She can also do things like brewing wine if left to the incarnation of Wenqi. She can make dozens or hundreds of jars with a wave of her hand, and she only needs half a day every month to restock. In order not to affect the wine market, this kind of spiritual wine is priced at a high price. It does not prey on ordinary people, but only on wealthy people, such as brave warriors, literary scholars, and wealthy families with profound backgrounds.
Of course, Shen Tang still sympathizes with officials.
Specially use spiritual wine, which is sold at a high price from the outside world, as additional monthly salary for officials. To put it bluntly, it is official welfare. The old ministers were not surprised by this, but the newcomers were shocked when they saw the spiritual wine in the salary list, and secretly marveled at the wealth of the royal family.
Officials of different ranks can receive a fixed amount of spiritual wine each month. Those with more can drink it to their heart's content, while those with less can occasionally drink and taste it. The wine shop business not only has a market in Wangdu, but also has a large share in other places, and the income is considerable.
Gongxiqiu listened to Shen Tang's confession and said: "Mama, this king is really meaningless. Do you want to go back to the Gongxi clan with me? I guarantee that you will have nothing to worry about!" "
When Shen Tang heard this, he showed contempt for him: "Haha, you haven't given up on throwing me into the coffin yet?"
Gong Xiqiu responded to this. Not denying it.
Shen Tang rubbed his red cheeks.
"It's not easy to talk to you. I'm also confused."
What useful advice can Qi Pai give?
Gong Xiqiu was not very happy when he heard this. He still cared about Mama very much, but he was specialized in martial arts. His specialty was fighting generals to kill people, leading troops to charge, making money and so on. His professionalism. He silently settled the accounts for Shen Tang.
“No, you are making so much money, why are you still short of money?”
“Isn’t this going to be a war again? War is a waste of money.”
Hearing this, Gong Xiqiu looked at her with pity and sighed: "Okay, I can't bear it anymore seeing how worried you are about money. Give me 30% commission and I'll help you fight this battle!"
Shen Tang is slightly drunk Yi's red face split instantly, he sighed and wiped his mouth: "...You are my general, help me fight the war and you want a commission from me? Gongxi Qiu, are you looking for money?"
Gongxi Qiu couldn't remember when he was Shen Tang has been awarded the title of General, but this is not important. What is important is something else: "Isn't Alai pregnant? Look at her belly, it won't be long before the baby is ready. Doesn't Mama know that it costs money to raise a child?"
Shen Tang said angrily: "The child has a father."
Gong Xiqiu shook his head: "This is not the custom of the Gongxi clan. Alai's child is mine, and it is my uncle who pays to raise the child."< br>
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows: "So?"
Gong Xiqiu raised two fingers: "20% commission!"
Shen Tang wanted to pry off his fingers.
However, Gong Xiqiu's two fingers were as hard as iron and could not move at all. Shen Tang secretly struggled with him. I worked so hard that sweat broke out on my forehead, and I successfully cut off 10% of the commission. Gong Xiqiu said helplessly: "Oh, okay, 10% commission is 10% commission..."
Shen Tang was so angry that he kicked him: "You are not short of money!"
His obsession with commissions makes him look more like a miser than Xun Zhen!
Gong Xiqiu had been on guard for a long time, and stepped out of the way to avoid the pain. He did not forget to retort: "What's the matter if you don't lack money? People who don't lack money don't need to pay for their work? How can there be such a truth in the world!"< br>
Profiteer! Shen Tang missed his kick, drank a little too much, and almost fell off the roof due to his unsteady center of gravity. Once you regain your balance, roll up your sleeves and go after him. Gong Xiqiu's body skills have improved greatly over the years, and he is like a snake turning into a spirit. Shen Tang can't catch him for a while.
No one could do anything, but a lot of wine was spilled.
Shen Tang put his hands on his hips and panted slightly: "Have you lost your breath?"
Gong Xiqiu was a few feet away from her, holding on to the flagpole, with a look on his face that was wary of Shen Tang's attack. He was stunned for a moment after hearing these words. The relaxation on his face disappeared and was replaced again by some indescribable dullness.
Seeing his expression, Shen Tang wanted to kick him. She said, "Gong Xiqiu, Xun Yongan is my General Yaoguangwei after all. You dislike him so much, it shows that I have no discernment." OK.”
Gong Xiqiu chose a rooftop that he liked and sat down: "I won't be like this just because I have a new head. I worry about other things."
Shen Tang had a gossipy look on his face: "What? Say? Come and listen.”
If she is unhappy, share it to make her happy.
Gong Xiqiu took a deep breath: "About Shaobai..."
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, his mind turned, and the figure he had seen during the day appeared in his mind, and he guessed and tested: "Your nephew?"
"Not a nephew anymore, he might , maybe, probably... it's actually the eldest brother, my eldest brother Jimo Qiu." When he heard the word "nephew", Gong Xiqiu's face twitched unnaturally and he covered his face, "I called him nephew for so long, teach me how to do it. Face?”
Shen Tang: “…”
Now it was her turn to listen to Gong Xi's bitter confession.
After listening to the whole story, Shen Tang lovingly patted Gong Xiqiu on the head and comforted him: "Oh, what did I think it was? What is there to be sad about? Snakes have brains. It’s not that big, it’s the upper limit of the hardware. It's not your fault that it's too low. Although you lost your nephew, you gained a big brother!"
Gong Xiqiu almost had a shrinkage in his cerebellum, and it took him a moment to realize that Shen Tang was thinking this. His brain is too small.
"Ma! Ma!"
Gong Xichou still has an advantage in chasing Shen Tang.
The snake halberd in his hand is much longer than Shen Tang's Mother Sword.
"Gong Xiqiu, if you continue to act like this, I will sue your elder brother! Look at you, what do you look like! You are not friendly to sacred objects at all, you are treasonous!" Shen Tang was killed After chasing the golden rooster, it stood alone on the flagpole, looking down at Gong Xiqiu.
Gong Xiqiu: "Come down!"
The threat of suing was still very effective. Gong Xiqiu did not have the courage to cut down the flagpole: "You can come up if you have the ability!"
>
“You come down!”
"Come up!"
"Come down!"
"Come up!"
"Come down!"
"Come up!"
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Shen Tang: "..."
Two adults who consider themselves mature squatted on the ridge of the roof, reflecting on why they were so childish at their age. . Specifically, only Gong Xiqiu was introspecting, while Shen Tang was irritating the scene: "The posture of the two of us is like squatting on someone's roof to shit."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Shen Tang quickly changed the subject, from shit to his brother: "Your brother's surname is Jimo, isn't he the high priest?"
When Gong Xiqiu heard this, he knew that her stomach was not full.
Xianyi: "So what?"
"Looking at your brother's face, I know that he is not a tadpole in the fire like you. He is a compassionate and gentle Bodhisattva. Face. How can he look at the sacred objects and see the suffering of the people? So -" Shen Tang raised his hand and put his arm around his shoulders.
Gong Xiqiu's eyes dimly asked: "So?"
Shen Tang rubbed his hands: "Is your eldest brother worth a lot?"
She has a certain understanding of the high priest's ability, and it is a T0 support that is easier to use than any Wenxin scribe!
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
"The price is high, you can't afford it." He sneered. He only wanted 30% of the commission, but she kept bargaining down to 10%. , is also very naughty, and, "It is not appropriate for the high priest to get involved in secular struggles, that is, Mo Can, Jimo Yu is a typical example. During the Wu Kingdom disaster, the five high priests who came out of the mountain died at the same time. Since then, the Gongxi tribe's vitality has been greatly weakened, and their talents have been withered. Mama, I can do whatever I want, but the high priest must not be allowed. Lost. "
Gong Xiqiu restrained his laughter and became serious.
Shen Tang: "What if he is willing?"
The high priest of the Gongxi clan is rich in rebels.
The wine jar held by Gong Xiqiu stopped: "If he agrees, it's okay to charge money, but if he doesn't charge commission, then he-"
Shen Tang: "... What about him? "
Gong Xiqiu kept complaining about commission.
Gong Xiqiu hummed and shattered the empty wine jar.
"You are the one who gives me money."
"...I can tell at a glance that you have never been beaten by your own brother."
"Not to mention your own brother, your own father has not been beaten." Jimo Can was already dead when he hit him, so rounding it up counts. I have never been beaten. As for my mother, it was an impression from a long time ago. "Mama, you said being beaten by your elder brother - what does it feel like?"
Shen Tang: "It hurts."
Gong Xiqiu held the wine jar with his chin on it.
He said vaguely: "Shouldn't it be sweet?"
Shen Tang: "Snake's brains are indeed very small."
Gong Xiqiu did not use his martial energy to dissolve the wine in his body, and continued one jar after another. Yitan, no matter how good the drinker is, will still get drunk, but Shen Tang is different, she will cheat. Drinking and dissolving it, an hour passed, and she sat with her cheeks flushed, while Gong Xiqiu lay holding the wine jar.
"The Lord of the Kingdom?"
After finishing Gong Xiqiu, Shen Tang was drinking wine leisurely.
A breeze blew past my eyes and took away some of the heat.
Shen Tang squinted his eyes slightly to relieve the dryness of his eyes, but saw the bright moonlight shining on him, and he had a slight surprise on his face.

Regarding weight loss, Shiitake gained a lot of weight during confinement at the beginning of the year, and the base was very large, so the decline was relatively fast. Check in for personal training classes at the gym every afternoon, with one day off on Sunday, five days of strength and aerobics, one day of pure aerobics, a light meal takeaway at noon, and in the evening I order boiled shrimp sliders + boiled beef + cucumber + oatmeal porridge. I'm generally not hungry, and I get enough sleep to avoid staying up late.
The coach seems to be more anxious than Shiitake, but Shiitake feels that as long as he is a Buddhist, he will lose weight. Don’t the green train and high-speed rail both arrive at the same station? whee.
PS: However, when the annual meeting came out, Shiitake became a little anxious. I still hope to lower the price a little more and attend the annual meeting in a better condition. According to estimates, it will not be close to slim at the annual meeting, but at least it will be much better than now.
