The current Liu Xian is not as confused as he used to be.

After returning to Liulin Village, Liu Xian found that many things were running according to his original vision.

There are people in this hand to call, it is indeed different. All the work is now being carried out smoothly and is in full swing.

At present, under the leadership of Wenshen, the county commander of Yangshi County, the people of Yangshi County are carrying out spring ploughing work. In addition, we are also working on the castle to be built in Liulin Village.

Of course, there are also shops and inns opened by Liu Xian in various counties, etc., which were also opened under the auspices of Qian Kuan, and sent people to open them. Most of them adopted the strategies developed by Liu Xian after consulting with them.

Whenever I go to a place, the first thing I do is to visit the local government first, and in the name of Liu Fu in Liulin Village, negotiate with the local government to buy some local properties directly from the government. In this way, the property purchased in the name of Liulin Village Liu Mansion will more or less have a protective color of the local government. Ordinary people don't dare to look for trouble easily.

Once you have purchased a shop or inn, or purchased a place, you will rebuild it or renovate the original building, and renovate it as needed. After doing this, you can send people to station, and you can prepare for the official business.

The business of the shops is mainly to sell cloth, clothing, grain and other miscellaneous items, in addition, some basic raw materials are also recycled. Generally speaking, two or three shops are sufficient.

The inn is based on the business model of the original Qian's Inn in Yangshi County.

This is mainly to use good sake and some dishes that are not available in this era as a signboard to attract customers to the inn. Not to mention the wine, the wine that Liu Xian brewed, not to mention anything else, the alcohol content is definitely higher than the alcohol content of the ordinary wine of this era. The liquor served at the inn is generally around 30 degrees. This kind of wine is more mellow than other people's wines, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the wine is fragrant for ten miles.

Ordinary people, where do you usually have the opportunity to drink such wine? The guests who have drunk it have a feeling that the legendary Qiongjin jade liquid, which is only supplied to the royal family, is nothing more than that. This may be an exaggeration, but it is true that the liquor served at the inn caused an instant sensation among good drinkers as soon as it was sold.

The drinks alone are enough to attract many customers.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the people in the district were in difficulty and life was unsustainable, then I am afraid that the inn would not have to operate anything else, and could make a lot of money just by buying wine.

But Liu Xian opened the restaurant inn, not just to make money, but mainly to collect news and intelligence from all parties.

In addition, there are not many restaurants and inns opened in various places now, so there is barely enough wine to be brewed in large quantities for the time being, but if more restaurants and inns are opened, it is impossible to supply all those drinks.

In this way, there will be a ration of alcohol served at each restaurant inn every day. Basically, it is on a first-come, first-served basis, and after selling and buying as many jars as you buy each day, it will no longer be sold. In order to avoid the fact that as soon as the business opens, people will come and buy all the daily rations of fine sake at once. Therefore, it was also stipulated that this fine wine should only be drunk in the inn and that a certain amount could only be given to them according to the number of people. If you really want to take it away, the amount of food you take away per person cannot exceed one catty.

As soon as the restaurant inn was in business, it was able to make a name for itself in the local area with its drinks alone.

The food served at the restaurant inn is also a place that all the guests who have visited are full of praise, and it is also a place that they will remember to come back to after visiting once.

The most distinctive dish of the inn is the stir-fry. These are things that no other tavern inn has.

Not to mention anything else, stir-frying a plate of green and oily, exuding a fragrance, and steaming green vegetables will make diners' eyes light up and increase their appetite.

This stir-fry is a specialty, and the fish dishes made by these restaurants and inns are also an attractive feature.

Fish, for the general public, is definitely not unfamiliar, but the general people, it is estimated that most of them will not like to eat fish, because the fishy smell of fish is indeed difficult to remove. If it is a large family, they generally do not eat fish, and the meat is basically chicken, duck, cattle and sheep. Of course, most people, whether they like it or not, it is not so easy to eat it.

However, the fish dishes made by Liu Xian's restaurants and inns not only do not have a fishy smell, but also are particularly delicious, which is also unique compared to meat such as chicken, duck, beef and sheep.

Therefore, no matter where the restaurant inn is opened now, it is a business, and it immediately became an instant hit, and it soon became famous.

The success of the wine and cuisine has attracted many guests to patronize, so naturally it has also attracted many guests to stay at the inn.

Now, as long as the inn is open, it basically starts to make money, and there is no need for Liu Xian to put himself inside, and slowly, it won't take much time to recover the cost.

Of course, such a situation is estimated to be temporary, and after this freshness, the business situation of the inn will slowly tend to normal. Especially the dishes in the inn, it is estimated that other inns will also steal lessons from them, so as to steal how to get rid of the fish.

But they can't learn the wine secretly, so after the reputation of the inn starts, it will definitely become a local reputation industry in the future, and most people will choose to invest and eat in Liu Xian's restaurants and inns.

Now that people everywhere are in a difficult time, when their lives improve, business will definitely be better.

In any case, the restaurants and inns that have now been opened in various places have also begun to collect some information and intelligence, collecting some of the information they have heard from the guests of the inn, and after careful consideration, they will keep it if they think it is useful and send it to Liulin Village.

For the time being, Liu Xian only asked them to collect the news of some characters, as long as they heard about what kind of character talent appeared there, Liu Xian would find a way to find and subdue them for his own use.

Now that Liu Xian has money and food, he won't care about these small money, and temporarily let the income from the operation of various shops, restaurants and inns be kept as reserves. With this money, they can continue to train more business and management talents and spy talents for themselves.

Liu Xian appointed Shan Yongdai to deal with the collected information and information himself, and picked out some information that he thought was useful from those news and intelligence.

In addition, Liu Xian naturally paid special attention to the intelligence of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, which was a matter of special concern. This is not just the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, even the intelligence of ordinary bandits and bandits needs to be collected. Which county and which mountain have bandits and bandits, these must be paid special attention to.

As for the ordinary bandits and bandits, they are actually Liu Xian's training targets. Liu Xian planned to let the secret camp and some of the guards of the Liu Mansion caravan fight those bandits in a secret way, eliminate them, and seize their supplies.

On the one hand, this is for the training of troops, and on the other hand, it is also for the purpose of obtaining material wealth.

Cai Yong has officially taken office and has become the dean of Liufu College.

During this time, Yangshi County and Liulin Village had already selected a place and began to build the college according to Liu Xian's design.

Because of the relationship between too many people, Liu Xian opened two colleges in Yangshi County and one in Liulin Village. In other words, Cai Yong, the dean of Liufu College, has to manage three colleges.

In Liu Xian's plan, the college will be divided into primary and secondary schools in the future. At a later date, another university will be opened. But now, this literacy has not yet begun to spread, and most children and teenagers still have to learn from literacy. Therefore, for the time being, it is not as important as that, and everything is still to open the academy first, and after it starts to officially operate, then slowly consider other things.

What Cai Yong has to do now is to compile and compare some teaching materials according to Liu Xian's requirements.

For these jobs, Cai Yong's enthusiasm for work is very high, and he has fully entered the working state.

In order to cooperate with his work, Liu Xian also specially transferred more than ten scholars to cooperate with him. In addition, some enlightenment teachers recruited by Liu Xian also participated.

Since Cai Yong arrived in Liulin Village, he suddenly became worried about safety, Liu Xian believes that it is indeed necessary to speed up the solution of this security problem at this time. After all, now that the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro has formed a momentum again, Liu Xian does not dare to say whether they will come to Yangshi County and Liulin Village.

But one thing is for sure. Now Liu Xian's reputation is well-known, and even Yangshi County and Liulin Village are well-known to the world. It is estimated that there will soon be rumors that Yangshi County and Liulin Village are prosperous.

If nothing else, let's just say that Liu Xian has money and food, once the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army knows, he will definitely come to make up his mind.

Therefore, Liu Xian believes that the most urgent thing to do now is to build the castle of Liulin Village as soon as possible, and at the same time, it is necessary to renovate the dilapidated city wall of Yangshi County, strengthen and thicken the city wall, and even, it is best to build some urn cities outside the city wall.

In this ancient era, there were really not many ways to make the people feel safe and protected.

Only a strong city can give them a sense of security.

When Liu Xian came back this time, he found that he had collected a lot of materials for building the city. Not to mention anything else, there are a lot of preparations for the firing of green bricks.

Firing green bricks, these are not particularly difficult things, firing more, more experiments, you can fire more tough green bricks. Then, according to this method, a large batch of firing is carried out.

Somewhere in the upper reaches of the Qingshui River outside Liulin Village, a large number of brick kilns have been excavated, and they are constantly firing every day. The fired bricks will be transported on rafts down the river to the riverside outside Liulin Village. Some of these will stay in Liulin Village, and some will be transported to Yangshi County.

Such a non-stop large-scale firing is mainly due to the current world.

Through the county order of Wenshen, Yangshi County, some recruitment revelations were issued, as long as the people who came to participate in the production and firing of green bricks were provided with food every day, and there was still a certain amount of wages.

Think about it, now the people of Jizhou in Jizhou, especially in Julu County, are in a crisis of food shortage. Suddenly there is such a job, as long as you pay your own physical labor, you can have a bite to eat, and you can have a certain salary, who doesn't want to do it?

During Liu Xian's trip to Youzhou to do business, even if it was cold, this could not stop the enthusiasm of the people for survival. They came all the way to Yang's County for this bite.

They even braved the cold and asked to brave the cold to start work, because they were afraid that if they didn't work, they wouldn't even have a bite to eat.

In the nearby counties, although their government had already obtained a batch of grain from Liu Xian's hands, that batch of grain was not enough for them to completely solve the food crisis of the people in their own county. Therefore, the government of several nearby counties actually helped Yangshi County to publicize it, so that more people knew that Yangshi County was recruiting workers.

Of course, the officials of several counties in the vicinity also came to discuss with Wenshen, they hoped that the people recruited this time were only temporary laborers, and they hoped that Wenshen would recruit nobles, and they would not recruit these people as the people of Yang's County. Because if these people settle in Yangshi County, then the population of their counties will be greatly reduced, and in this way, it will be difficult for their counties to recover.

Wen Shen agreed to their conditions, and in this way, it was equivalent to obtaining the labor force of the people in the nearby counties.

Liu Xian planned to take advantage of the fact that the young and strong laborers in all counties were concentrated in Yangshi County to build the castle as soon as possible.

However, during this period, when spring ploughing was about to be carried out, the government of each county sent officials to negotiate with Wenshen, hoping that Wenshen could suspend some preparations for construction, or reduce the scale a little, and let some young people return to their own county, so that those young and strong laborers could carry out spring ploughing work.

Wen Shen also quickly reported the situation to Liu Xian.

This is indeed a problem, after all, spring ploughing is also very important, even more important than building a city by yourself. If spring ploughing is not carried out, those people will still have no food to eat.

However, this is also easy to do, and the Yellow Turban captives that Liu Xian had obtained from Huangfu Song earlier could be escorted from government prisons in various places to be used as labor for the construction of castles.

In addition, Liu Xian can continue to get some horses and cattle from Youzhou, and these horses and cattle can be appropriately lent to nearby counties to help them carry out production and farming, in addition to what Yang County needs.

In addition, Liu Xian has asked the blacksmith workshop in Liulin Village to make a lot of more convenient farming tools. The main ones are those plows, palladium and other agricultural tools of later generations.

These agricultural tools, coupled with horses or oxen, only need one person to operate, you can plow the field, this day, can plough several acres of land, to achieve the purpose of deep ploughing. If the crops are planted and the fertilization can keep up, then the yield will definitely be more than double that of ordinary cultivation.

With cattle, horses, and better agricultural tools, there is no need to put back all the young and strong people in all the counties, so that many people can also participate in the construction of the castle in Liulin Village.
