There is a hill on one side of Lingshan County, there are several mountain pavilions on the hill, one of the mountain pavilions is called "Wenbi Pavilion", standing in the Wenbi Pavilion you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire East Lake.

East Lake is a large lake in Lingshan County, surrounded by mountains and greenery, the water is clear and clear, fishing islands, small villages, liyuan, banana forests, gulls and herons reflect each other, like a mirror full of jewels.

Stand on the mountain and watch the afterglow of the sunset and the beauty of the sunset. The whole lake area is like a neon dress, with water color and ink, and waves of golden light.

At the same time, the air here is also exceptionally fresh, and the breeze blows on the face, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

The East Lake is also a place where literati and ink writers like to visit, and the merchants of Lingshan County also see the business opportunities here, and there are many wine shops and tea shops above and below the mountain pavilion for the literati to drink and splash ink, and sing in festivals.

Ran Yunbiao was born as a squire, his family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, and his family is relatively wealthy, so Wang Zhihui called a table of wine banquet and placed it in the writing pavilion, so the four and a half children sat in the writing pavilion and drank and had fun.

"Brothers, for my friendship with my classmates, please drink this cup." Wang Ziying is tall and big, not like a scholar, but like a martial artist, and she is also very bold.

"If the world is happy, you are a fellow student, brothers, please." Zeng Gongming first drank the wine in the cup.

Drinking again, Li Sanjian muttered secretly in his heart, meeting friends with wine, wine papers, Li Baidou's wine poems, etc., why do you have to rely on wine? Can't you do anything without wine?

However, although Li Sanjian muttered secretly in his heart, Li Sanjian still drank all the wine in the cup.

The taste is not bad, Li Sanjian licked his lips and said secretly in his heart, the degree is not high, and there is a faint hint of lychee in the wine.

Li Sanjian, Zeng Gongming, and Ran Yunbiao all drank all the wine in their cups, but Sima Du stopped at a glance.

"Brother Feiyuan, the name of this wine is lychee roast, it is brewed from lychee, and it tastes good, why are you... Ran Yunbiao had a faint trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, so he asked.

"I can't drink too much, I can't drink much, forgive me." Sima Du arched his hand.

"If you don't get drunk with a thousand glasses of this wine, what's the harm in drinking a few more glasses? Brother Fei Yuan is so shirky, why is it? "Ran Yunbiao is still unrelenting.

"I said you don't have to say a word." Zeng Gongming saw that Sima Du was a little embarrassed, so he pushed Ran Yunbiao, came out of the round and said: "Brother Feiyuan is our county school test and school double excellence, and he is about to enter the state school, where is like you, drinking wildly." ”

Zeng Gongming's words might as well not be persuaded, obviously with a hint of ridicule.

Sima Du's family origins, is a rare scholarly door on Guangnan West Road, Sima Du has been full of poetry since childhood, and has excellent grades after entering the county school, and this time he was recommended by the county school of Lingshan County to enter the Guizhou state school, if the state school is still so, then it is very likely to enter the Taixue, if you enter the Taixue, the future will be bright.

"Such a beautiful scenery, I have already indulged in it, so why borrow the power of wine?" Sima Du was not angry when he heard this, but smiled slightly.

"Can you eat the beautiful scenery as a meal?" Ran Yunbiao snorted lightly and poured another big sip of wine.

"Hehe" Li Sanjian saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he picked up the wine cup and diverted the topic, and said with a smile: "Lychee burning? Sure enough, the wine is as its name suggests, and it tastes really good, but I don't know how it's made? ”

Some people are born with a can't drink, and when they get drunk, why force them?

Sima Du bowed slightly to Li Sanjian to show his gratitude.

"What? Does Brother Han Ren still plan to make wine? Zeng Gongming asked with a smile.

Zeng Gongming's estimate was right, Li Sanjian did mean this, but it wasn't winemaking, how could wine be so good? How can we make good sake without specialized winemaking and skilled craftsmen? Moreover, Li Sanjian also knows nothing about winemaking.

The money in Li Sanjian's pocket is getting less and less, and he has to eat all day long, especially Shankui, the amount of food is simply shaking and earth-shattering, so sitting and eating the mountains and empty mountains, Li Sanjian can't last much time at all.

Therefore, Li Sanjian plans to engage in side jobs in addition to listening and reading, such as setting up a "commissary" or something in front of the hut or county school rented by Li Sanjian, which can also subsidize the family, right?

The county school has some allowances for students, but it is a drop in the bucket for Li Sanjian.

"Brother Donglin laughed, and he was stupid." Li Sanjian then replied: "How do you know the art of winemaking?" As you all know, in the next family, you are destitute, including at this time, and there are three people to support, so you plan to do some small business to supplement the family, and sell some wine to do some business, which is still very good. ”

The three of them were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they all looked at Li Sanjian like monsters, and for a while, they didn't know what to say.

"Doesn't Han Ren know about the imperial court's drinking?" Sima Du then asked.

Sure enough, he was a vulgar person in the countryside, and he didn't even know much about the imperial court code, so Sima Du secretly shook his head in his heart.

Sima Du despised Li Sanjian in his heart, but there was nothing abnormal above him.

Li Sanjian shook his head blankly when he heard this.

Li Sanjian knew that the county school had to learn the imperial court law, but so far, Li Sanjian has not come into contact with it.

"I want to hear about it." Li Sanjian then asked.

"It's too complicated." Zeng Gongming shook his head when he heard this: "In short, the government is drinking, and we and other small people are not allowed to make wine and sell wine. ”

"If you make it privately, you will be condemned." Sima Du nodded and said: "Twenty catties of the city, thirty catties of the township, abandon the city; Those who enter the capital for fifty miles, Xijing and Zhuzhou City for twenty miles with private wine, will be executed to five buckets; Outside the set mileage, there is an official office to sell wine and private wine into its place a stone, abandon the market... ”

Li Sanjian was taken aback when he heard this, and he couldn't help but secretly call out in his heart that he was lucky, fortunately he didn't do it first, otherwise he wouldn't know how to die.

"In that case, where did the wine come from?" Li Sanjian then pointed to a wine shop not far away and asked.

"I bought it from the official wine storehouse." Zeng Gongming replied.

"Small-scale people will be exploited by the government, restaurants or wine shops." Wang Ziying also spoke: "And almost all of them are bad wines that are difficult to swallow, such as lychee roast, such a good wine, which is not something that ordinary people can buy." ”

The restaurant is not only a place to sell wine, but also many of them also have a wine-making workshop, that is, a workshop that can make wine through mai guanqu or buying, which integrates brewing and selling.

"Drink, drink." Ran Yunbiao picked up the wine cup and said, "They just sell theirs, and we just drink them." ”

Li Sanjian glanced at Ran Yunbiao, and depressedly drank the wine in the cup in one go.

You don't care, the family is solid, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart, but for Li Sanjian, he broke off this road to making money.

From this point of view, doing business is really a thorny road, Li Sanjian is secretly glad at this time, if he was ready to do business and make a fortune, the result may be a chicken and an egg.

If you can't get it, you'll have to get in.

"When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. ”

"Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west."

"I can feast around the cloud carving, and wait to put the plum acid up and down the sky. More on the birth of the moon, owing a thousand miles to raise the sky. ”

"Wonderful! Brother Han Ren, where did this poem come from? Zeng Gongming and others thought about it for a long time, and they didn't know where Li Sanjian's poem came from?

"It's a clumsy work." Li Sanjian smiled with a smile.

"Wonderful, wonderful." Zeng Gongming exclaimed: "Brother Han Ren's literary talent is really good, and the younger brother is really inferior!" ”

"Donglin praises also!" Li Sanjian said modestly.

I have the code of Song poetry in my hand, compose poems and write lyrics, and I can do it easily, although Li Sanjian is modest in his mouth, but Li Sanjian is secretly proud in his heart.

"Brother Han Ren is not only outstanding in writing, but also good at reading sentences." Ran Yunbiao couldn't help but praise.

At this time, Huang Jian had mimeographed the sentence reading method written by Li Sanjian into a book, and sent it to the county students, after the students learned it, they all felt that it was much easier to read, and it was easy to remember, just for this, the disciples still admired Li Sanjian.

It's just a small skill of carving insects, Sima Du doesn't think so, what is the use of poetry if it is done well? If you understand the meaning of the scriptures thoroughly and write well, then you are good.

At present, the imperial court does not use poetry to give scholars, but to take scholars with scriptures...

"Come on, send a few more jars of wine, I won't get drunk today."

The four and a half children sang and sang, drank and had fun, and a jar of lychee burning soon bottomed out, and Ran Yunbiao was still not happy, so he ordered a small servant.

"Brothers, the younger brother is really too strong to drink, so I will leave!" At this time, Sima Du got up and said goodbye.

Ran Yunbiao raised his eyebrows, and he wanted to have a seizure, Zeng Gongming hurriedly and secretly pulled Ran Yunbiao.

Ran Yunbiao snorted coldly, and took another sip of wine in a muffled voice.

"Fake Qinggao, what's the big deal." Ran Yunbiao glanced at Sima Du's back and snorted coldly.

scolded well, Li Sanjian secretly praised in his heart, Li Sanjian also saw that Sima Du was indeed a little pretentious, wasn't he about to enter the state school?

However, although Li Sanjian secretly praised in his heart, he still persuaded on the surface: "Brother Mingshi, don't care, if you can't drink for anything, why force him?" Today, the three brothers and I just need to have fun. ”

"Brother Han Ren said this very much." Zeng Gongming also agreed: "People are from a scholarly family, how can they look down on people like us in the market?" Let him go, come, Brother Han Ren, Brother Mingshi, and the younger brother will give the two brothers a cup. ”

"Okay... Ran Yunbiao was a young man, and when he saw the two persuading each other, he didn't think much about it, so he said: "Shop, serve the wine quickly." ”

"It's coming, it's coming." At this moment, several men came over carrying some lychees.

The clothes of these men are extremely strange in Li Sanjian's eyes, a little like a military uniform? Li Sanjian wondered in his heart.

"Brother Han Ren, what's the matter? Feeling a little weird? Zeng Gongming saw Li Sanjian's surprised appearance, so he asked with a smile.

Li Sanjian nodded.

"Let me tell you, they're really sergeants." Zeng Gongming said with a smile.

"What?" Li Sanjian was dumbfounded when he heard this.
