"Giddy up!"
The Tubo diplomatic corps sped along the brick road towards Lanzhou. At the same time, they glanced behind them from time to time, fearing that there might be pursuers.
"Where are we?" Lu Dongzan asked with a frown as he woke up in the carriage. He realized that he was lying on the ground. When he returned to the relay station, he couldn't take it anymore and fainted on the ground. The Tubo diplomatic corps followed his orders and set off without hesitation.
"Amitabha, Almsgiver Lu is awake. We are now at Chen Cang," Master Fa Lin replied. The Buddhists followed Tubo back and took the opportunity to preach in Tubo.
"Chen Cang!" Lu Dongzan was relieved when he heard that they were far away from Chang 'an City.
"Reporting to Great Minister, you have been unconscious for two days. Master Fa Lin has been treating you all this time," Lang Mu replied from the side.
"Thank you, Master Fa Lin!" Lu Dongzan bowed and thanked her.
Master Fa Lin said with a compassionate face, "Amitabha! I have heard about what happened to Almsgiver Lu's beloved son. When you were unconscious, I recited the Reincarnation Sutra a hundred times to release your son's soul. I hope Almsgiver Lu will not be sad anymore. "
"Thank you, Master." Even though Lu Dongzan was wary of the Buddhists, he had a good impression of them and thanked her profusely.
Master Fa Lin chanted and checked Lu Dongzan's body. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, she left the Tubo diplomatic corps' convoy.
After Master Fa Lin left, Tubo's vice diplomat quietly entered the carriage and sighed, "My condolences, Great Minister. Otherwise, you will fall into Mo Jiazi's trap."
A trace of grief flashed in Lu Dongzan's eyes, but then he said resolutely, "Mo Jiazi is making a big mistake if he wants to use this incident to attack me. Now the Tang dynasty has issued a ban on alcohol, but they didn't say that we can't import alcohol from other countries. Our Tubo's highland barley wine is the best raw material for making wine. Now that we have the secret wine-making technique, I will exchange my son's life for the secret wine-making technique to make Tubo rich and strong. My son won't die in vain.
In order to appease the anger of the Tang dynasty, Tubo had emptied the national treasury. At this moment, they needed money, and the prohibition of alcohol in the Tang dynasty gave Tubo an excellent opportunity to recover. If they handled it properly, they could definitely make a lot of money from the Tang dynasty.
However, Lu Dongzan didn't know that this opportunity was the bait that Mo Jiazi had carefully prepared for him. However, under the influence of anger and greed, Lu Dongzan, who had been smart all his life, was finally blinded.
After Lu Dongzan obtained the secret wine-making technique, he left as if it was a treasure. However, the wineries in the Tang dynasty were in a mess. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and the alcohol ban officially took effect.
Although the price of alcohol kept rising in the last month and the wineries made a lot of money, in the long run, they lost too much.
Everyone was waiting to see what Xie Qianchou, the best wine in the Tang dynasty, would do. However, the news that came back made all the wineries despair.
Xie Qianchou! Officially closed the cellar and stopped making wine.
"What? Xie Qianchou's annual business is nearly 100,000 strings of cash. How could it end so easily?" The village head of Zhang Village was stunned.
He had originally hoped that the Mo Family would take the initiative to plead for leniency and extend the alcohol ban or ask for mercy. However, he didn't expect that even Mo Jiazi couldn't persuade them.
A villager of the Zhang Family sighed and said, "It's said that the alcohol ban is mainly aimed at the Mo Family. Mo Jiazi naturally doesn't want to get into trouble at this time."
The village head of Zhang Village frowned and said, "The Mo Family has a big business. Even if they lose the wine-making business, they can still prosper. However, our Zhang Village relies on wine-making for a living. Now that the alcohol ban has been issued, I'm afraid that we will have nothing to drink in the future.
