The first great family in Hexi is the Li family in Longxi, which is the world-famous seven great scholars, the second family is the Guzang An family, the An family is the descendants of the Sogdians, settled in Liangzhou and Ganzhou for generations, is a famous wealthy family in Hexi, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, An Xinggui should pacify Hexi meritorious service, was named the right Wuwei general, Liangguo Gong.

The famous generals Li Baoyu and Li Baozhen brothers in the Tang Dynasty are the children of the An family, although Li Baoyu has passed away, Li Baozhen still serves as the envoy of the Zhaoyi Festival, and he is in a high position.

The main vein of the An family is in Liangzhou, and the lord of the An family on the side of Ganzhou is also an important figure in the An family, called An Ping, who is the brother of Zhonglang General An Rengui and the nephew of Li Baoyu.

An Ping, who was in his early forties and was in charge of An's winery and winery, received Luo Yu, who had an unexpected visit, at the Guike Hall, who was both winemakers and knew each other very well.

"Huh! Which fragrant wind blew Brother Luo here today? ”

Luo Yu sighed and said, "Don't mention it, I'm afraid the Luo family is about to come to a catastrophe." ”

An Ping was stunned, "Why did Brother Luo say this?" ”

"This afternoon, my eldest son was arrested by the Zhangye County Ya, saying that he had an affair with Shatuo, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he doesn't know what went wrong, and the Luo family suddenly encountered a disaster."

An Ping groaned and said, "Could it be that Ling Lang has offended someone?" ”

"Who can he offend? The key is that Qian Er accused him of fornicating with Shatuo, and the consequences were quite serious. ”

An Ping was speechless for a while, it was Luo Yu who instructed Qian Er to accuse Wu Daqi of fornicating with Sha Tuo, which led to Wu Daqi being killed, and now the same thing happened to the Luo family, and a word suddenly popped out of Anping's mind, 'Retribution!' ’

"Then what can I do for Brother Luo?" An Ping tried to soften his tone.

"I don't know what the problem is right now? Can you ask Brother Xian to help me go to the government to inquire, I won't tell you, my connections are not in Zhangye now, and I can't find anyone if I want to. ”

An Ping nodded, "Now the main officials in Ganzhou are all resettled refugees in Jiuquan, and I am not familiar with the new county, so let's do it!" My brother has a good relationship with the Governor's Mansion, please ask him to inquire, Brother Luo, I can only say do my best! ”

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! ”

Luo Yu thanked him again and again, and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, the housekeeper told him the latest situation, "Da Lang has confessed his guilt and admitted that he leaked a lot of information about Ganzhou to the Shatuo people. ”

"He's confused!"

Luo Yu stomped his feet angrily, "How can he admit this kind of thing?" It's really over. ”

Luo Yu knew that it was not only their Luo family who did business with Sha Tuo, many merchants had trade dealings with Sha Tuo, as long as they insisted that they only had trade relations with Sha Tuo, there would always be a way to rescue him, and now that his son admitted that he had colluded with Sha Tuo, the gaffe would be serious.

"Master, it is estimated that it is a big punishment, Da Lang can't get through it, he can only admit it, and Qian Er is charged, it is difficult for Da Lang to grit his teeth."

"That damn slave, I'm going to cut him with a thousand knives!" Luo Yu gritted his teeth with hatred.

At this time, there was a sudden chaotic running sound outside, and a family member stumbled over, "Master, there are a lot of troops outside!" ”

Before Luo Yu could react, a large group of soldiers rushed in, and the leader was Wang Yue, who shouted and asked, "Who is Luo Yu?" ”

Luo Yu stepped forward and said, "I am!" ”

"Your son said that he had an affair with Sha Tuo at your behest, and the situation is serious, please come with us."

The two soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Luo Yu's arm and dragged him out, Luo Yu was so anxious that he shouted, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

Wang Yue ignored him and waved his hand, "Take it away!" ”

The soldiers forcibly took Luo Yu away, and then Wang Yue ordered the soldiers to search the Luo Mansion, and arrested Luo Yu's second son as well, and the daughters of the Luo family were also under house arrest.

The next morning, Zhonglang found An Rengui to Guo Song, Guo Song calmly heard An Rengui's words, and asked lightly: "Is it the Luo family who invited you to intercede?" ”

"Not really, because the An family owes the Luo family a favor in the vineyard, so my brother asked me to ask, if it is really fornicated with Shatuo, the An family will not ask."

Guo Song took out a confession and threw it on the table in front of him, "Take a look for yourself!" Luo Jiang's personal confession, the situation is even more serious than I thought. ”

An Rengui looked at the confession and was taken aback, Luo Jiang even provided the composition of Zhangye City to the Shatuo people.

Guo Song originally just wanted to make a plausible charge, but he didn't expect that Luo Jiang really fornicated with Shatuo and betrayed a large amount of information about Ganzhou to Shatuo, so as to get Shatuo's cheap milk cake supply.

Moreover, Luo Jiang also confessed how they plotted to seize the property of the Wu family, bribed the Yuan family in the capital with 100,000 yuan, confiscated the property through the government, and resold the property to him cheaply.

All these were explained, An Rengui was dumbfounded, he clearly remembered what happened back then, Wu Daqi was tied to the gate of the county government and beheaded.

"What is the envoy going to do with it?"

"The three of Luo's father and son were publicly beheaded, their family property was confiscated, and the winery and winery were transferred to military management, as for their families, I can not pursue them, they have a house in the capital, and they have saved a lot of money in the cabinet workshop, which is enough for their family to live."

An Rengui sighed, "Retribution! ”

He bowed, "Go back and tell the clan brother that this matter has nothing to do with the An family, and let him not get involved too much." ”

An Rengui left in a hurry, and at this time, Wang Yue appeared at the door and handed a thick fold to Guo Song, "This is the list of the Luo family's property, please take a look!" ”

Guo Song knew that he hadn't slept all night counting his property, so he smiled and said, "It's hard work, go and rest!" ”

Wang Yue asked, "What to do with that Qian Er?" ”

Guo Song thought for a while and said: "He even betrayed the two masters, and he also fornicated with Shatuo, and beheaded him and the Luo clan together, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Luo family and his son." ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

Wang Yue turned around to leave, Guo Song said again: "You make arrangements, let the Luo family leave Zhangye immediately, if they don't leave, I'm afraid that the people of Zhangye will tear them apart." ”

Wang Yue nodded, bowed and walked quickly.

Guo Song opened the list of properties at this time, and the first line gave him a burst of surprise, "Confiscate 300,000 taels of silver." ’

This money came too timely, and the three-month arrears of the Liangzhou army were settled.

In the afternoon, Hexi Jiedu Mansion posted notices in various places in the city, informing the people of Zhangye that Luo's father and son had fornicated with Shatuo and betrayed a large amount of information about Ganzhou and Zhangye, which led to Shatuo's invasion and brought huge losses to Ganzhou.

At noon the next day, in the midst of the scolding of the people in the city, Luo Yu's father and son and the evil slave Qian Er were publicly beheaded by the army.

In the afternoon, Guo Song took Pan Liao and others who had just come back to the Gaochang Distillery located in the south of the city, the distillery covers an area of 100 acres, located behind the Luo's mansion, there are more than 100 winemakers, the chief steward surnamed Zhang, is also a Gaochang Han person, and followed the Wujia to Zhangye in the early years to found the Gaochang Distillery.

The Wu family was driven away, and Zhang Da was left behind by Luo Yu with a high salary, and at this time he also learned that Luo Yu had seized the Wu family's property, which made him very ashamed.

Guo Song comforted him and said: "The past is over, from today on, you are a person from Hexi Jiedu Mansion, and I will go back and give you the position of the head of the liquor department, and you will still be in charge of the winery, and I will report to Pan Changshi in the future." ”

Steward Zhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you for your help!" ”

"There are also winemakers, let them all stay with peace of mind, give them a monthly salary increase of 30%, and in the future, they will all belong to the official brewing department, make up their household registration, they can bring their families and families, and settle down in Zhangye in the future."

Guo Song is very aware of the importance of winemakers, Luoche has fallen, and the other two big wineries are staring at these winemakers! We have to let them stay in peace.

Steward Zhang thanked him repeatedly, he took Guo Song and his entourage to visit the winemaking workshop, Zhang Lei also followed aside, although he couldn't get a share of the winery, but the wine of this winery will be all supplied to Meishou Wine Shop.

"How much wine can be produced each year?" Guo Song asked.

"The annual production of about 10,000 stone of wine can bring 200,000 guan, but there was not so much before, and it is only in recent years that the production has been expanded, and the vineyards have expanded from 20,000 to 80,000 acres, and there are 500 grape farmers."

"Their expenses are also included in the 200,000 guan income?"

"It's not! 200,000 is the final net income. ”

Guo Song calculated in his heart that he had to solve the problem of 10,000 soldiers, which was 30,000 yuan a month, 360,000 yuan a year, and a gap of 160,000 yuan.

As a wine merchant, Zhang Lei stayed with Zhang Daguan to continue to discuss the improvement of wine quality, while Guo Song and Pan Liao returned to the military office.
