Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. Yang Lei had only completed one book," Business ". It couldn't be helped. This was his major in university. Although he had forgotten a lot, he still remembered a lot. Moreover, there were no computers in this era, so he wrote very slowly and carefully. This guy was a person who praised success once. As for the other nine books, he wrote even slower and more carefully. Yang Lei estimated that he would be busy until the end of the year. Now, apart from practicing martial arts and patrolling the camp, Yang Lei basically did nothing else. As for the third set of Military Boxing, Yang Lei had also passed it down. However, he had taught it to the marquises first, and then let them teach it to the soldiers. As for whether there was a guy with high comprehension who could turn fist moves into knife moves and spear moves, he did not have that much time to ponder. However, this way, the atmosphere of martial arts in the stronghold became more and more intense. Of course, the literacy classes were still being held, but the teachers had become their respective military marquises. They were helping each other to learn to read. There was no other way. There were basically no real scholars in this stronghold.
The stronghold on Nine Mile Mountain was still busy with drills and confrontations. Yang Lei was still wandering around the battle room lounge. However, Zhang Fei's mansion in Xu Prefecture was currently filled with a strong fragrance of wine. The smell made passersby surround the mansion. If it weren't for Zhang Fei's reputation and the two mighty soldiers at the door, this group of people might have directly gone in to see what was going on. Although the crowd was not that bold, the number of people surrounding them increased. Soon, the soldiers in charge of public security received the news and hurriedly rushed over to disperse the crowd. However, Liu Bei's reputation for loving the people was well known, and these soldiers were basically from the same hometown. They could not disperse the crowd and instead, the number of people surrounding him increased. Seeing that it was not a big deal, the commander hurriedly ordered someone to report it and asked the soldier standing guard what was going on. The two soldiers naturally did not know what was going on. They only knew that the Third General had not left the mansion much this month. He had been tinkering with something with a group of blacksmiths all day. Recently, he had brought back a large cart of wine. For some reason, the fragrance of the wine had spread out, which attracted a lot of people to watch. The commander cursed in his heart. I know the fragrance of wine, but have you ever smelled such a strong fragrance?
The surrounding crowd suddenly loosened up. The soldiers who were maintaining order hurriedly looked over and saw that their lord, Envoy Liu, had arrived, followed closely by Guan Yu, Mei Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Chen Deng. Seeing that the highest ranking military officer of Xu Prefecture had arrived, the surrounding people bowed one after another. The soldier also hurriedly came over to pay his respects. Liu Bei sniffed the fragrance of the wine in the air and frowned. He then looked at the onlookers and said,"My fellow villagers, my younger brother is reckless. I don't know why he let everyone watch. [] However, everyone is busy, and it is not conducive to the passage of chariots and horses. I am afraid that there will be some small people. Everyone should disperse.”Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, and Sun Qian, who were following behind, also tried to persuade him. The surrounding people were helpless, and seeing that what he said made sense, most of them dispersed. However, there were still a small portion of people who were curious and surrounded him from afar, not daring to come over. Seeing this, Liu Bei and the others could only let them be.
Liu Bei and the others entered the hall of Zhang Fei's residence without letting anyone inform them. However, there was no one there. A sharp-eyed soldier had already led the way to the backyard. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw that there was an additional open roof in the backyard. There was something that looked like a big pot standing inside. It had a lid but also looked like a ball. The ball was connected to a green bamboo pole. Water trickled out from it and was entering the big jar below. The fragrance of wine was also coming from this place. Of course, the main character of this incident, Zhang Fei, was also included. Zhang Fei was holding a bowl of wine in his hand and slowly tasting it. Suddenly, he felt that someone was coming. He was about to get angry at who dared to trespass into his territory and disturb his beautiful drinking. When he turned around, he saw his eldest brother, second brother, and a group of Xuzhou officials. He could not help but feel terrified. The wine he had just drunk turned into cold sweat and flowed out. However, the wine was too strong, and the tipsy feeling could not be subsided. Zhang Fei squinted his eyes and stared at Liu Bei with a smile. Li? "Big, big brother, you, you're here." Also, Second, Second Brother, you're here too. Let's drink together. Good wine, good wine.”His swaying body was about to fall down when a soldier with sharp eyes and agile hands came forward to support him. Liu Bei saw the scene in front of him and understood what was going on. His third brother, the Liquor worm, must have come up and learned this wine-making method from someone. He brewed good wine and got himself drunk. Shaking his head, he ordered the soldiers to help Zhang Fei down to rest while he led a group of people to surround the mechanism. Jian Yong, who had always been free and easy, could not resist the fragrance of the wine. He took a bowl from the side of the jar and filled it to the brim before pouring it down. As soon as the wine entered his mouth, Jian Yong's face changed color. He immediately turned red as if he wanted to spit it out, but he did not open his mouth. Everyone was surprised. After a moment, Jian Yong opened his mouth and said,"Good wine." Liu Bei felt angry and amused at the same time. He said,""What wine? It was fine if Third Brother said it was good wine, but since Xian He said so, he had to have a good taste.”As soon as he spoke, a soldier came forward to bring the wine to Liu Bei. Liu Bei also gulped it down in one gulp. He felt a flame flowing down his throat. He was shocked and was about to spit it out when he saw the smile on Jian Yong's face. He could not help but swallow it down. When the fire rushed from his stomach to his limbs and bones, he let out a long sigh and said,"It is indeed good wine." Then, he said to everyone,"Everyone, you can have a taste of it."”Everyone accepted the bowl of wine handed over by the soldier and imitated Liu Bei and Jian Yong. However, the taste was not very good. Other than Guan Yu, whose face turned even redder, the rest of the people started coughing. After they had rested, they started to praise the good wine. "My lord," Mei Zhu said directly. Why not ask the three generals to write down the brewing method and give it to Zhu as the lord's betrothal gift?”Chen Dengba frowned and said,""What Zizhong said is different. Yang Yuting offered all kinds of techniques. You already have the furniture and the cement method. Leave this small wine brewing to me.”Liu Bei was about to speak when Jian Yong said,""This wine brewing method should belong to the Third General. It won't be too late to wait until the Third General sobers up.”Mi Zhu and Chen Deng still wanted to argue, but when they saw Liu Bei nod slightly, they tactfully stopped talking.
When the lamp was lit, Zhang Fei sat on the newly made chair with a bitter face, enduring the strange gazes of everyone. After a long time, Zhang Fei finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He raised his head and looked at everyone, then at Liu Bei."Big brother, I was wrong. I'll definitely drink less in the future and try not to get drunk, okay? Besides, I didn't expect this wine to be so intoxicating.”As she spoke, she licked her lips. This action immediately made everyone laugh. Liu Bei's tense face relaxed, and Guan Yu's narrowed eyes revealed a smile. Jian Yong couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Fei saw everyone laughing and laughed along with them. As a result, everyone was happy, and the slightly tense atmosphere from before was no longer there. When everyone stopped, Liu Bei asked,""Third brother, how did you come up with this method to brew wine?”"I don't have any good ideas." Zhang Fei chuckled. The last time I went to Jiuli Mountain, I pulled Yuting to drink. His alcohol tolerance was not as good as mine, and he found the wine to be bad, so he taught me this method. The blueprint he drew for me was still there. As he spoke, he carefully took out a roll of paper from his pocket, looking very precious.
"Oh?" Everyone was shocked. It seemed that Yang Yuting was indeed skilled. But he knew how to create so many mechanisms. Could he be the descendant of the Mo family? They shook their heads. He shouldn't be. At least, the Mo family's non-offensive approach didn't manifest on him. The soldiers he trained were truly elite soldiers. They were even slightly inferior to the personal guards by the lord's side. It seemed that this person was really like what he said. Words could stabilize the country, but martial arts could stabilize the country? On the other side, Liu Bei took the blueprint and unfolded it. After reading it, he passed it around one by one. After everyone read it, Liu Bei asked,"Third brother, how much food would you need to pay for one jin of such fine wine?”Zhang Fei was dumbfounded. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to call for the craftsman who had helped during the day. The craftsman replied in fear,"Milord, if you want to produce a jin of the same good wine as at noon, you have to use about eight jin of the original wine.”Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned. Mei Zhu saw Liu Bei's frown and understood. He hurriedly said,""Don't worry. Eight to one was indeed a bit high, but eight catties of wine was only three catties of grain, so it should be three catties of grain to one catty of wine. As long as it was controlled, there would be no problem with food. Moreover, Yang Yuting's teachings also talked about agriculture. He believes that intensive cultivation and the so-called, uh, farmer's flower will definitely increase food production greatly. Why don't you give it a try?”Hearing this, Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said,""Yang Lei will be the governor of Xu Prefecture. He will lead the troops at Nine Mile Mountain and try out the farming method he mentioned.”He then looked at the people who were staring at him and said,""How's the matter of sun-drying the salt?" As soon as he said this, Sun Qian said," My lord, this method is very good. Salt has already been produced in the East Sea, and the quality of the salt is very good. This is all done by Mi Zifang, Mi Zifang, Mi Zifang's younger brother.”"Oh?" Liu Bei looked thoughtfully at Mei Zhu and said,""The matter of sunning salt concerns the prosperity of Xu Prefecture and the interests of the people. It is of great importance.”Mi Zhu repeatedly agreed. Liu Bei said,"As for the brewing of wine, let Yuanlong handle it." However, they had to remember not to waste too much food to prevent the people from suffering.”Chen Deng was overjoyed and agreed.
The next day, Yang Lei looked at Zhang Fei in front of him and was stunned when he heard that he had another official position in charge of civil affairs. He suddenly asked,"Third General, about that, do you want to increase the salary?”This sentence made Zhang Fei, who was enjoying the wine, choke and cough repeatedly. Yang Lei also felt that his words were wrong. He chuckled and said,"Third General, the lord said that I should try out farming, but my farmers have nothing. How can I try it out?”Zhang Fei rolled his eyes." That's your business. It has nothing to do with me."”"I heard that the lord ordered the three generals not to drink in the army." Yang Lei laughed.”Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then he said helplessly,"Tell me, what bad idea did you come up with again?"”Yang Lei chuckled." Chen Yuanlong and Mi Zizhong are both from large families in Xu Prefecture. Not only do they have countless assets, but they also have good farmland as tenants. If these two don't take the lead, how can others be willing to do so?" However, if these two people are willing to listen to my method and try it out, Xuzhou can increase grain by several times in one season. What do you think, Third General?" Zhang Fei jumped up and said,"Leave it to me."”He returned to Xuzhou, leaving Yang Lei smiling proudly. Yang Lei thought to himself that he was finally going to become a part of Liu Bei's interest group.
