Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 686 Before the wedding
Chapter 711 Before the wedding
"...So, the little one bought this bottle of wine from a customer for an extra two taels of silver." The servant who went to buy wine in Shangchao said so after returning.

It cost two taels of silver more, which exceeded the psychological expectation of the caravan leader.

The wine they sell in Gaochang Kingdom only sells for 30 taels of silver for a small bucket!

As a result, buying this Tang Dynasty wine, this small bottle, that is, half a bucket, sells for 16 taels a bottle. After all, a bucket of wine is more expensive than their Gaochang country wine by two taels!
Do you have to spend an extra two taels to buy it from someone else?
This really made him really unhappy!
Wine in this era is actually very expensive.

In the early Tang Dynasty, it was more expensive. It was quite normal to spend ten thousand dollars for a bucket of wine.

One tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand Wen, and ten thousand Wen is equal to ten taels of silver.

At this time, a fight is divided into a big fight and a small fight.

According to later generations, a big bucket is about [-] milliliters, and a small bucket is [-] milliliters.

The wine sold in the market basically uses a small bucket, which is two kilograms in later generations, and weighs four catties.

Four catties of wine cost at least ten taels of silver, so generally speaking, at this time in the early Tang Dynasty, the poor could never afford to drink wine.

Let alone wine, I can’t even afford oil!

Generally, people who can afford wine don't care about spending a few taels of silver to sell more precious wine.

It is nothing more than personal tastes are different, so the type of wine you like is different.

In the past, wine was definitely a special case, because even if you had money, you couldn't buy wine if you didn't have the information.

30 A measure of wine for two denarii. This wine is three times more expensive than ordinary wine. If you are slow, you will have to buy it from other people at a high price.

One or two times, this fine grape wine has become something that only the middle and upper class can enjoy, and ordinary wealthy businessmen can't see it at all.

As a result, the people of Gaochang Kingdom fell a big somersault this time.

In the past, the wines in their seller's market were not as casually made as in the past, and a large number of people came to buy them with gold and silver in their hands!
No matter how you think about it, it’s all the people of Youzhou’s fault!
Thinking of this, the leader with an ugly face ordered: "Forget it, bring the wine!"

As soon as the wine bottle was put on the table, the leader's expression changed.

He picked up this beautiful wine bottle, looked it over and over, and exclaimed: "This wine bottle...could it be a glass bottle?"

The price of glass bottles is not low!

Selling wine in glass bottles, isn't the wine seller out of his mind?
No, this is not a glazed bottle. I heard that Youzhou produces glass products, which are similar to colored glaze. Could it be glass?
Thinking this way, the man asked someone to bring a wine glass, pulled out the cork, and poured such a glass.

Glass cups are also used. After all, when drinking wine, the most important thing at this time is to use glass cups.

As soon as the wine was poured into the glass, just looking at it, the face of the Gaochang country businessman became a bit uglier.

Without him, just looking at the color, you can feel that this wine... I'm afraid it's really good.

Still unwilling to give up, he picked it up, took a sip, and tasted it.

This time, his face really changed.

"...It's over." At the same time, this thought came to his mind, this kind of wine was actually made by the people of Tang Dynasty, and it surpassed most of the wines sold in their Gaochang country!

If the other party has better quality wine, I am afraid that Gaochang Kingdom will not have to sell wine in Datang!

Wines with almost the same quality are transported from Gaochang to Datang. If the original price is maintained, their wine costs will be consumed on the way.

But if in the future, the consumption on the road is put on the price of wine, whether they sell it themselves or the merchants of Datang buy it and ship it back, it will be a big cost. Once the price rises, how can it be compared with the wine price? Datang local wine?

But if the price is reduced...

The terrible chain reaction made the caravan leader dare not think about it anymore.

"I hope they don't have a lot of wine in their hands!" Now, he can only hope that the other party won't be able to sell much wine.

The matter about the wine was just a small episode. Soon, all the people in Chang'an City and the foreigners who came here began to pay attention to another matter.

The wedding of King Youzhou and Princess Changle is about to take place!

This is a grand event in the hearts of the entire Chang'an city!event!
In their hearts, King Youzhou is the reincarnation of a god and man, and they have a lot of kindness towards them. They have a very high affection for King Youzhou!In Chang'an, some people secretly enshrined the longevity tablet of King Youzhou, hoping that King Youzhou would live a long life.

Princess Changle represents the imperial power and the royal family of Li and Tang!

Similarly, because Li Shimin was diligent and caring for the people, and the people of Chang'an City were the people at the feet of the emperor, they were the first to feel this, and their support for Li Shimin was also real!
As Li Shimin's beloved daughter, Princess Changle is naturally liked by them. There are also some legendary events about this princess. A script was written for the prototype.

Such a wedding aimed at the newlyweds naturally attracted much attention.

In addition, the king of Youzhou brought a boatload of things from Youzhou, some of which everyone has heard about, but there are still many things that everyone is still guessing.

Curiosity also makes those who are preparing to watch the ceremony itchy.

May [-]th, night.

Weddings, evening ceremonies, Wan'an County government office, decorated with lights and festoons.

On the road from Wan'an County Government Office to Youzhou Prince's Palace, bright palace lanterns were hung on the trees, illuminating the long road as if it were daytime.

Qin Yang was not surprised that the wedding was arranged in Wan'an County. At this time, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, had only two counties, among which Wan'an County was the most suitable place in terms of geography and other aspects. .

Holding a wedding in the palace is not as lively as it is in terms of excitement, and there are other aspects to consider.

In the original history decades later, when Princess Taiping got married, the wedding was also held in the Wan'an County Government.

If it is held here, not only the emperor and empress can come, but all officials can come, and the common people can also come and watch. It can truly make people enjoy the wedding and make it a grand enough wedding.

If it were held in the palace, it would be much deserted.

As lovers of their daughters, after thinking about it, the emperor and empress made a decision that the wedding venue will be held in the Wan'an County Government Office.

The princess's wedding car will depart from the palace after dark and go to Wan'an County Government.

The same is true for Qin Yang's car. The two parties gathered here to hold a wedding ceremony, and then brought the princess back to the Prince's Mansion of Youzhou.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as a princess mansion, because the princess herself had a fief.

Compared with only one princess mansion given to later generations, princesses with fiefdoms will naturally get more benefits.

Originally, when Li Lizhi was canonized as the Princess of Changle County, she had been confiscated with [-] households. Before her wedding, Li Shimin directly increased it to [-] households!

And this even caused a quarrel.
