Spread the word.

Abbreviated as advertising.

In modern society, it is very simple to advertise, have good products, produce excellent advertisements, and then spend money to promote them on various platforms.

And the advertising of the Han Dynasty was also very simple.

As long as there is a way, there is a product.

Needless to say, Mi's wine is a good product, and Ma She, Yi, Yin Guan and others are the way, under the unremitting propaganda of these people, Mi's wine immediately became popular in Jingzhou.

There is no need to inquire more, it is natural to know that this wine is produced in Xinye, Mizhu's workshop, so it is called Mi's wine.

By the way, I knew that the person who came up with the recipe was Guan Ping.

Under such circumstances, scholars from wealthy and close places such as Xiangyang and Nanjun sent people to Xinye to buy liquor, and in remote places such as the four counties of Jingnan, merchants began to act and went to Xinye one by one, intending to sell liquor.

A jar of wine is fifty catties, the price is half gold, and Tong Suo is not bullied, and he refuses to bargain.

Liu Bei is naturally making money every day and his business is prosperous.

Liu Bei held a banquet on December 15, and people began to buy wine on the 22nd, and the business began to be very good on the 27th and 8th, because the family drank behind closed doors when the New Year was approaching, and at the beginning of the year, they went to each other's relatives and drank again.

This wine is a good thing, and good wine is even more rare.

Of course, it should take a long time for the merchants of the four counties of Jingnan, as well as the merchants of Bashu, Jiangdong, and even the north to come to Xinye, and word of mouth needs to be fermented and spread.

Jingnan is still very close, Jiangdong and Bashu are not only far away, but also the road is difficult to travel.

But Liu Bei had already begun to prepare according to Guan Ping's plan. On the twenty-fifth day, Liu Bei was in the study of General Zuo's mansion, talking with Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and several other helpers.

Liu Bei sat in the north and faced south, with a smile on his face and a smile on his face, beaming with joy.

"It's still early, but it's urgent to set up a market and collect taxes on large transactions." Speaking of this, Liu Bei raised his head and said to Mi Fang: "Zifang, the matter of setting up the market will be left to you." It is necessary to be cautious in setting taxes and managing the market. ”

Mi Fang is three years younger than Mi Zhu, her appearance is somewhat similar, and she is also very graceful. At present, Mi Fang is also a helper, and in the fifteenth wine banquet, Mi Fang is also there.

Mi Fang also doesn't know much about business like his brother Mi Zhu, but at least he comes from a merchant family. Liu Bei handed over the task of this market to Mi Fang.

"No." Mi Fang has been helping under Liu Bei for a long time, and he has nothing to do, but this time he got the task, and it was such an important task, so he couldn't help but cheer up.

"The workshop must be well managed, and no one is allowed to leak the brewing method." Although he had already explained it several times, Liu Bei still confessed Mi Zhu, which was extremely serious.

The monopoly business is called a gold mine, and on the contrary, if Mi's wine becomes an ordinary wine, its value will be lost.

"No." Mi Zhu solemnly promised.

Immediately, Liu Bei explained to several other helpers, asking them to take people to Jiangling, Xiangyang, and the large and small county towns located on the Jianghan Plain to buy servants and slaves to expand the population.

Liu Bei got the first benefit, and began to expand his strength in a hurry.

And Guan Ping, who made the entire Liu Bei's strength begin to flourish, swept away the decadence, and gradually became famous in the entire Jingchu region, also ushered in new things.

On the morning of the 26th, the sun was shining, but the weather was very cold, and the endless land was all frozen soil, and stomping could make a clicking sound.

Sun Qian received spears, bows, leather armor, knives, shields and other supplies from the Xinye arsenal, formed a long procession, and set off for the Guanping camp.

It didn't take long to arrive at the camp in Guanping. Guan Ping got the news and personally came out to greet Mr.

"Sir, how's the wine selling?" Guan Ping helped Sun Qian down from the ox cart, and then asked impatiently.

Sun Qian didn't say anything polite to Guan Ping, and let Guan Ping help him.

After Sun Qian landed, Guan Ping let go of Sun Gan, and Sun Qian said with a smile: "The wine is selling very well, and the lord has already sent people to Jingzhou to buy servants, slaves and maids, and replenish the population." ”

Guan Ping breathed a sigh of relief, a plan is a plan, and success is a success, which are completely different things. There is also a saying that seven points of war depend on human strategy and three points depend on the will of heaven, not to mention the business of selling alcohol.

It's good to be successful.

As a member of the Shu Han Party, Guan Ping has a heart for his fists, and he is naturally very concerned about the success of wine. The two said something, and then walked to the barracks and came to the school grounds.

At this moment, the Dubo is leading the soldiers in a line, and the ten squares are very neat, whether they turn left, right, or backward, the soldiers can be uniformly under the orders of the commanders.

Although it is still a rabble, it has become more and more similar.

Guan Ping told the Dubs to stop training and brought the soldiers to get leather armor, clothes, weapons, etc. Each of them contains nine spears, two shields, five knives, two bows, and arrows.

The sparse formation is eleven people, with two shieldmen in the center, one pikeman on the left and right, four pikemen in the middle, two archers in the back, and Shi Chang in the center.

Among them were shield-bearers, archers and swords, and chiefs with spears and swords.

And when the army marches on flat ground and suddenly encounters a large number of cavalry, the shield bearer will also hold a spear and form a large spear formation to resist the cavalry.

So every till is armed with nine guns.

After distributing the weapons, Guan Ping ordered the soldiers to line up on their own, and greeted Sun Gan and ten Dubo into the big tent to speak.

After each of them sat down, Guan Ping said to everyone: "Next, let's change it, the rest time from five o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon will be changed to the time for practicing weapons." The afternoon parade was changed to a training sparse formation, a circular formation, a geese-shaped formation, a cone formation, and a phalanx. ”

After a pause, Guan Ping said seriously: "Before that, the lord sent more than ten old pawns over, including shield bearers, archers, and gunners, and they are also experienced in arrays. Be sure to ask them and let them help you train. ”

Guan Ping said this, all of them are very normal words.

The Dubs were about to make the promise. Guan Ping said again: "Three months later, it will be set on the first day of the fourth month." The army conducts a competition, and the competition is divided into a round formation, a square formation, a goose-shaped formation, a cone formation, a running, and a sparse formation battle, and you have ten divisions, and each person who wins the first place will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan. Last, eat white rice for a month. ”

When these words fell, it was immediately different.

Prior to this, the Dubers had not slackened in their military training. Including Mi Wei, who turned from literature to martial arts, including Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong and other generals, including Zhou Xiong, Li Fei and other teenagers, as well as Li Zheng, as well as Guan Shi, Wu Feng, Che Wannian, Xu Chongguo, these recruited teenagers.

This battalion is very young, and there is no soldier oil. And the people who are selected by Guan Ping are very good, and they all train hard.

Under such circumstances, this army would look like it in such a short period of time.

Even if Guan Yu is asked to do this, it may not be better than Guan Ping.

And now that Guan Ping has suddenly inserted the reward and punishment system, it will be different. Ten Dubbs, divided into ten parts. Three months later, everyone has money, and the loser eats white rice every day for a month.

This is a matter of affordability, who wants to eat white rice for a month, at least white rice with pickles. But listening to Guan Ping's meaning, it is white rice for a month.

Not to mention the issue of face, there are other problems.

For Mi Wei, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Tong, these three people are the civil and military forces who are inserted in, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Tong are even more behind the door, if they get the penultimate first, where will this face be placed.

Zhang Bao is straightforward and loves face.

"It seems that I will have to supervise the training of the soldiers more strictly after I go back, and if I get the penultimate place. Let's not say that I can't save face, if my father gets the news, he won't hang me up and beat me. ”

Zhang Bao thought to herself.

Such a teenager loves face, Mi Wei and Zhao Tong don't need to mention it.

As for Zhou Xiong, a stupid guy who wants to compete for the first place, he can't help but rub his hands. "Money is not an important issue, the important thing is that if you can get the first place, it will be really beautiful."

Li Fei didn't care, and thought, "It's okay if you don't go up or down." ”

The other four selected Du Bo, Guan Shi, Wu Feng, Che Wannian, and Xu Chongguo also had this mind, but they were more dignified than Li Fei, and they were afraid that they would become the penultimate first.

After all, no matter how you look at it, their group of elected Dubos have no advantage compared with Zhao Tong, Mi Wei and others.

As for Li Zheng, it's different, this guy also wants to win the first place.

"If you want to make a contribution, being a Dubo is just the starting point, if you are a Dubo for a lifetime, let alone making contributions, it is very good to survive. I want to make a difference, I need a higher status. And now my Shangguan is the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, Guan Ping, the eldest son of the general Guan Gong, who can be described as a big backer. If I can get further appreciation from the military candidates, and when the military candidates become captains and generals, I can also be a military candidate, a first-class figure in the battalion. If you do a good job, please ask the lord to advise, and you may be able to lead the troops independently. ”

Li Zheng's heart is extremely eager and full of motivation.

All in all, Guan Ping's little one is inserted. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the army was different, some people wanted to be the first, and some people wanted to be in the middle.

All in all, no one wants to be the bottom one.

This atmosphere of competition is intense.

Guan Ping glanced at these guys quietly, and couldn't help but show a little unfathomable smile. Rest assured, since I've done this job, I'm going to do a great job.

In three months, I want these guys to be ordinary soldiers.

In a year's time, I want these guys to be elite soldiers, ready to go to war.

Guan Ping can't help it, his ambition is to be a serious second ancestor. But he was prepared to be arrested as a child laborer, and he could only cheer up.

In order for Shu Han to become bigger and stronger.

"It's a good idea, and it pits the Dubers against each other." Sun Gan, the chief manager, was very qualified, and he didn't interfere with Guan Ping's orders at all, and he scratched his beard at the moment, showing a very interested look.

This general, after the door, is really an outlier.

From time to time, they will make some novel moves, such as folding the quilt last time, ordering the soldiers to roar, etc., this is a competition with each other.

Although Guan Ping had never communicated with the low-level soldiers, by controlling these ten Dubo, he controlled the entire military camp and let the soldiers in the camp continue to advance according to Guan Ping's ideas.

"This is the so-called mastery." Sun Qian thought to himself.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, there are many such people. There are people who don't understand the law, but they have become court captains, and they are very competent.

That's because they can use people and manipulate people.

Sun Qian felt that Guan Ping was such a person.

In fact, Sun Qian thinks too much, Guan Ping is just because he has advanced knowledge, competing with each other and improving each other.

All in all, the matter was settled.

The Dubra went down with their own hearts and minds, and continued to train their soldiers. At night, Du Bo has to go to read and write, Li Zheng has already had a foundation, and he must read and write.

Thinking of Guan Ping's order during the day, Li Zheng couldn't sit still. Taking advantage of the fact that the night was still bright, I came to the outside of the tent in Guanping to ask for a meeting.

There were personal guards outside the tent, and they politely asked Li Zheng to wait for a while before going in to report. After a while, he turned back, bent down and said, "Lord Soldier, please come in." ”

Li Zheng didn't dare to hold it up, and said thank you before entering the tent. Two oil lamps were lit in the tent, but the brightness was still average, flickering on and off.

Guan Ping sat on the throne with a piece of clothing, he had just taken off his clothes and was going to take a hot shower. Smelling that Li Zheng was asking to see him, he didn't start washing anyway, so he put on his clothes and came to see him.

"Your Excellency." Li Zheng said to Guan very respectfully.

Guan Ping was very impressed with Li Zheng, this was the only smart person among the five Dubos selected, and he was a person who could do things.

After all, he only announced the competition after March on the day, and saw Li Zheng coming in the evening.

"Sit." Guan Ping first asked Li Zheng to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Li is not an outsider, just say something directly." ”

Guan Ping was very casual, but Li Zheng didn't dare to be presumptuous, and said: "Lord Junhou, I can read and write before I join the army." So I don't want to go to study at night. ”

Guan Ping knew that Li Zheng was definitely not the case, so he was noncommittal for a while before he said, "Go on." ”

"I want the soldiers to train at night." Li Zheng lowered his head and said.

Guan Ping knew that Li Zheng would say this, and when he saw this kid's actions, he knew that something was coming, how to do it, of course, it was to practice at night.

Guan Ping was still noncommittal, and just said: "I understand your intentions, but as the saying goes, you can't reach it quickly." The soldiers were only recruits, and they were teenagers, and their bodies had not yet reached their peak. Training during the day is already hard, and as time continues, I will let them train more so that they will not run only five miles in the future. It's ten miles, or even twenty miles. If you let the soldiers train more at night, it will inevitably be full of complaints. ”

Li Zheng obviously had an idea, and said, "Lord Junhou." Before I came to join the army, more than a dozen teenagers from my hometown came with me, and these teenagers were like one with me. Now these teenagers are under my command, and I believe I can control the army. Besides, I want to add food and even money to the soldiers. That way the soldiers would not complain. ”

"I'm not going to give you a penny more." Guan Ping's face showed appreciation, but his mouth was very calm.

"My family is quite wealthy, and I plan to support the soldiers with my personal wealth." Li Zheng is still fluent in answers.

"Do whatever you want." Guan Ping said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Soldier." Li Zheng thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Soon after, Li Zheng left. Guan Ping sat for a while, thinking.

"Maybe I can really produce a general here."

Smiling, Guan Ping threw down his coat, took off the rest of his clothes and began to take a shower.

Raise the soldiers, provide for the soldiers, and even use their personal wealth.

Ambitious.

It's like Wei Yan, it's like Guan Yu, so people like Li Zheng may stand out, as for why it is possible, because the truth is not absolute.

All in all, Guan Ping remembered the Dubo named Li Zheng under his hand.
