Duan Xiushi and Guo Song returned to Lingwu County, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of Jiedu Mansion, Liang Yundao hurriedly walked out, and he smiled at Guo Song and Duan Xiushi: "I was about to find the two of you, there is news about Fengzhou." ”

Guo Song hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I just received a letter from the imperial court, and the imperial court has approved the assignment of Yulin County to the jurisdiction of Fengzhou."

Guo Song was immediately overjoyed, this was the news he had been waiting for for a long time.

Duan Xiushi also smiled: "If you lose, you will gain, congratulations to Guo Yuanjun." ”

Duan Xiushi was referring to Guo Song's agreement to finally place the shipyard in Lingzhou, and he was afraid that Guo Song would regret it, so he said to Liang Yundao: "I have reached a consensus with Guo Yuanjun on the shipbuilding workshop just now, and I ask Liang to join the army to draft an agreement, and Guo Yuanjun and I will sign and confirm it." ”

Guo Song smiled bitterly and said, "There is no need for an agreement!" ”

Duan Xiushi shook his head, "I think it's necessary, I'm sure you won't regret it, but what about your next appointment?" Without a written agreement, I fear that your next appointment will not recognize it. ”

Duan Xiushi did things at a glance, and Guo Song had no choice but to follow him.

At noon, Liang Yundao invited Guo Song to sit in the Lingzhou Restaurant, and he poured Guo Song a full glass of wine and smiled: "The little girl is okay in Fengzhou!" He didn't reply to Liang Wu's letter, to be honest, I was still very worried. ”

Guo Song said with a smile: "Ling'er is in my house, and Xiaoyu Niang has a good time, and there is a daughter of Xue Changshou, the relationship between the three is very tacit, during this time, Xiaoyu Niang is teaching them flying knives, I found that Ling'er doesn't seem to be interested in reading, but she is very interested in practicing martial arts." ”

Liang Yundao was a little relieved, and said: "Shangwu Qingwen is the atmosphere of Lingzhou, and it is also forced out by the invasion of Xue Yantuo's army every year in the past ten years, she likes to practice martial arts, I don't object, I'm afraid that she will mess around, mention her name in Lingzhou, no one doesn't have a headache, and I can't control it, so I thought of letting her leave Lingzhou for a while." ”

Guo Song took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The little lady was more rebellious for a period of time when she was growing up, and it would be fine after this time, besides, Ling'er is not really messing around, she is still very measured, and there is no out-of-the-ordinary behavior outside, and the people of Fengzhou basically praise her for being smart and beautiful." ”

Liang Yundao bowed slightly and said, "Thank you so much for Guo Yuanjun's care of the little girl." ”

Guo Song smiled: "I have always regarded her as a younger sister, and it is natural to take care of her, Uncle Shi does not have to be polite." ”

Liang Yundao also knew Guo Song's personality, so he was relieved to let his daughter go to Fengzhou, but he faintly hoped that Guo Song could become his son-in-law one day.

Of course, Liang Yundao also knows that Guo Song is a dragon among people, and his future is limitless, although his daughter is good in all aspects, she can only be regarded as a small jasper, lacking the temperament of a real wealthy lady, and she is really not worthy of him.

At this time, Guo Song smiled again: "This time I came to Lingzhou, in addition to meeting the envoy of Jiedu to discuss the shipyard, there is another thing, which is to ask Uncle Shi for help. ”

Liang Yundao was very happy to help Guo Song, so that Guo Song owed him as much favor as possible, he happily said: "You just say, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help." ”

Liang Yundao's attitude made Guo Song quite happy, he hurriedly said: "That's the case, Fengzhou is also considering establishing a stable financial source, last time Ling'er gave me a bottle of wine, saying that it was produced by the Liang family, I think it is very good, I am considering planting grapes in Fengzhou to make wine, it just so happens that I have some ways in the wine market in Chang'an, I hope to make use of this way to increase a financial source to Fengzhou." ”

Liang Yundao pondered and asked, "Do you plan to do it yourself, or will the Fengzhou government do it?" ”

"Now it's basically being done by the Toyoshu government."

Liang Yundao said lightly: "Do you want to listen to one of my suggestions?" ”

"Uncle Shi, please speak."

"I suggest you do it yourself, to put it mildly, if you leave it to the government to do, you will end up making a wedding dress for someone else, and the next one may not be, but in a few more terms, the vineyards and wineries you have worked so hard to build will eventually be taken over by others.

The second is the quality of the wine, if it is made by the government, the quality of the wine will definitely not last long, all kinds of cutting corners, all kinds of irresponsibility, the brand you worked so hard to create will also be smashed, only by doing it yourself, the quality can last. ”

Guo Song bowed his head and was silent for a while, and Liang Yundao said again: "Generally speaking, the income of the government is the income from the supply of raw materials, such as the grapes planted, which is related to the local water and soil, and it is difficult to say whether Fengzhou is suitable for growing grapes, even if it is suitable, it will take several years to improve, with all due respect, I am afraid that in the end, the grapes may not be able to be planted, let alone winemaking." ”

Guo Song nodded, he knew that Liang Yundao was right, unless a special wine-making institution was established, there were indeed many hidden dangers for the government to lead the wine-making.

Just like Liang Yundao said, after a few assassins, the winery became private, of course, it was not necessarily open, but it could be stealing, taking away the recipe, buying the best raw material origin, poaching the good winemaker at a high price, and the name of the wine was the same as yours.

For the government, it is most appropriate to master the raw materials.

"Has Uncle Shi considered doing a wine shop business?"

Liang Yundao was silent for a moment and said: "Don't hide it from my nephew, the Liang family has wanted to be a winery since my father's generation, and the vineyard alone has been in operation for more than 20 years, and the winemaker has also changed one stubble after another, accumulating countless lessons and lessons, and finally relying on the Liang family's own talents to brew satisfactory wine, the wine that the virtuous nephew drank should have been brewed ten years ago, and it is not allowed to touch it according to the family rules. ”

Guo Song is embarrassed, the Liang family has been making things for decades, and he actually wants to poach the winemaker, which is simply too embarrassing.

"Uncle Shi, it was me Meng Lang just now." Guo Song hurriedly apologized.

Liang Yundao smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, if my nephew wants to make a wine shop, I will give you the recipe, and I will send someone to help you with all my might, but I have a better idea." ”

"Please advise Uncle Shi!"

Liang Yundao picked up the wine glass and said unhurriedly: "To be honest, the whole Lingzhou knows that the Liang family's wine is good, but Lingzhou is still too small, my goal is to sell it to the capital, but we have no way in the capital, I know that the Meishou wine of the virtuous nephew is selling very hot, can we cooperate, the Liang family is responsible for the raw material liquor, the virtuous nephew is responsible for selling wine into Beijing, we will take half of the profits, is the virtuous nephew interested?" ”

Guo Song sighed slightly, "Of course I don't have a problem, but what about Fengzhou?" ”

"It's very simple, make the winery bigger, Fengzhou can grow grapes, the Liang family has an expert in growing grapes, I will send someone to guide."

"Then thank you so much Uncle Shi, I won't be involved, I'll write a letter and call my senior brother to Lingzhou, you can discuss how to do it."

Liang Yundao laughed, "That should be my gratitude to my nephew." ”

Having said this step, Guo Song has already understood in his heart, I am afraid that Liang Yundao has been planning this matter for a long time, and the few bottles of wine that Liang Linger brought to Fengzhou are by no means accidental, even if he does not come to Lingzhou, he will definitely go to Fengzhou to discuss the matter of opening a wine shop with him.

It can be seen that Liang Yundao is very scheming, in Chang'an, he knows that Meishou wine is his own industry, I am afraid that he will have this idea at that time, but he is silent and has been waiting for the opportunity.

Although Liang Yundao's approach was beyond reproach and did not harm his own interests, this kind of scheming still made Guo Song feel a little uncomfortable, and he would call Zhang Lei to Lingzhou when he turned around, and he didn't want to participate in their liquor industry.

........

Guo Song returned to Fengzhou early the next morning, and when he left, he made an appointment with Liang Yundao that the Liang family would send people to help Fengzhou plant grapes.

The day after he returned to Fengzhou, he led a group of officials to Yulin County, where they were to meet with the officials of Shengzhou to negotiate various matters concerning the transfer of Yulin County to Fengzhou.

At this time, the spring drought in Shengzhou and Xiazhou was followed by a summer drought, and a large number of people fled to Yulin County, and Guo Song had to stay in Yulin County to help resettle the victims, and ordered 20,000 stone of grain to be transported from Jiuyuan County on a raft to relieve the victims.

As soon as the resettlement of the victims was completed, Guo Song went to inspect the three surrendered cities.

For a whole summer, Guo Song spent the whole summer in various places, and in a blink of an eye, it was late August, and the autumn of the twelfth year of the Great Calendar came.

On the morning of this day, Guo Song took several officials to inspect the wheat growth in the military field of Nancheng, and the Fengzhou garrison finally reclaimed 2,000 hectares of wheat fields, which were equivalent to 200,000 mu and stretched for more than ten miles.

The reason why it is necessary to reclaim 2,000 hectares of wheat fields is also to achieve an important indicator of the imperial court's increase in troops in Fengzhou, that is, the degree of food self-sufficiency, at present, with the addition of 3,000 troops in Fengzhou, the three surrendered city systems have a total of 6,000 troops, according to the annual consumption of six stone of grain per soldier, then 36,000 stone a year is enough, and the annual output of wheat in 2,000 hectares of land reaches 500,000 stone, which far exceeds its own needs, and a large amount of grain can be allocated to the imperial court.

The imperial court would inevitably consider Fengzhou as an important grain planting base, in fact, this is why the Eastern Han Dynasty vigorously developed the Hetao Plain, which eventually became one of the important food sources of the Eastern Han Dynasty due to the immigration of nearly a million people.

Of course, this is also Guo Song's political achievement, for the imperial court, blowing his own local political achievements to the sky, is not as convincing as the yellow and clear wheat and white silver.

With solid political achievements, he was able to confidently put forward a request to the Son of Heaven to increase troops in Fengzhou and surrender the city.

Only when the army reaches 15,000 people can the Fengzhou garrison take the initiative to take the offensive and defend Xue Yantuo's army from a hundred miles away, instead of retreating inside the city and letting Xue Yantuo's army do whatever it wants outside the city.
