Anyway, even Wang Bo, who doesn't drink often, feels relatively light when he drinks it, and he is full of stamina only when he drinks too much, but he will never get up in the morning with a headache like a knife, but his abdomen is uncomfortable, after all, it is made of pure grain. Compared with the liquor of 50 or 60 degrees in the previous life, and the lowest 38 degrees, one in the sky and the other in the ground, it is not the same.

The cold time in the north starts in October and lasts until March and April of the following year, which is a long time, half a year. If you can make 40 or 50 degrees of liquor, you can not only relieve the old wine worm's alcohol addiction, but also keep out the cold, even on the battlefield, it can also be used to disinfect and prevent infection, than now you can only simply clean after being injured, and then wait for self-healing or death.

As far as Wang Bo knows, liquor can not only be brewed from grain, but also from the fruits of the mountains everywhere here. When the time comes, men drink soju, women taste fruit wine ......, hahahaha, it makes people crazy just thinking about it, and they will definitely be coaxed to sell out. As for the price, it's not up to the master to have the final say, because it's the only one, and there is no semicolon.

Of course, there are a lot of people in the brewing party, and the key is to increase the alcohol content, which is not a piece of cake for Wang Bo? A simple distillation and purification can be done. Control the temperature well, purify it several times, and the higher the degree.

At that moment, he called Wang An again and asked, "How long will it take for you to travel back and forth here?" ”

Wang An replied: "According to common sense, the fast is one month, and the slow is one and a half months." The goods brought have already been determined, and there is no risk of selling, and the journey takes a lot of time. ”

"How many times do you wait for the whole year?"

"It's different! Be more diligent in spring and summer, less in autumn and winter, and go back and forth all year round. ”

"Very good! If I have a good deal here, will you do it? ”

"Why not? Merchants come and go, where there are interests, there is nothing to do. Of course......" Wang An sneered and said, "We rarely do anything to bend the law!" The villain doesn't know what kind of business General Wang has to take care of us? Some of the departments are not very big, and the villain should be the master! ”

Wang Bo thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter much! This is a normal transaction. I need food, wine, and more, the better! I don't know how to hand it over to Steward Wang to prepare? ”

"What's so hard about that! The villain will be done next time! Wang An almost didn't hesitate and happily agreed.

"Well, next time? It's been a long time since then! If not: I will keep the goods you brought this time! How about you return quickly and prepare food and wine? Wang Bo asked.

"So ......? General Rongyu: This is not appropriate! Although we businessmen are profit-seeking by nature, we need to put faith and righteousness first! This time the goods have already been ordered by the root of Xianbei Budu, how can my Wang family lose their trust in him? However, now it will take a lot of time to return and do it again, and I can't explain it in front of the head of the family! General! The villain ......" and wanted to kneel again.

Wang Bo waved his hand and asked again: "Steward Wang doesn't need to be like this!" What you are carrying this time. No matter what, I will not pursue it! You can rest assured! If you return now and buy food and wine, how long will it take? ”

"It's not very difficult, I sent people to hurry up, and the Wang's store near Lou Fu and Cheng County was prepared, and it was more than ten days. It's done! ”

"Well, that's good! The Imperial Slave Pass has not yet been built, and you have nothing to do here! If not, if your goods are stored here, you will immediately return and buy grain and wine, and when you return here, that is, when you cross the border and travel westward. How is it? ”

"General Wang! The villain ......" Wang An heard this, "poof", and knelt down.

"What are you doing? I will not rob you of your goods! I also bought the grain and wine that you bought at market prices,...... Needless to say! Thou shalt do it for thyself! After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left. In order to make money as soon as possible, Wang Bo had to be a villain.

The next day, Wang An, who was helpless, had no choice but to unload the goods and leave two people to take care of them. He led the Wang caravan and returned to Yanmen Pass to prepare food and wine. made Wang Bo laugh for a while.

As soon as he turned his head and saw Chen Zhi rolling his eyes behind him, Wang Bo was furious: "What do you know about Ru Huangmao'er?" Chen Zhi's eyes rolled even more terrifyingly. I had to leave it to me.

When he came to the logistics office, he called a hunting team and pointed to the mountain: "Go and pick wild fruits quickly, the more the merrier!" ”

After receiving the order, the hunting party looked at each other and did not know what to do. Wang Bo frowned and doubted: Is his words not good now? Chen Dao, who had never seen a smile on the side, squirted out a "poof", Wang Bo was angry and was about to get angry.

"The lord is eloquent, and the heavens and men descend to the mortal! I don't know that the spring and autumn are real, and the four o'clock is changing? Now is the turn of spring and summer, is there any wild fruit in the mountains? Hahaha......" Chen Zhi said with a smile, and everyone also laughed.

"Oh? Hey, hey, I forgot! Hahahaha......? Wang Bo also used laughter to hide his embarrassment. I secretly sighed in my heart: I am still a kid from a peasant family? That's it? Alas!

I had to tell Chen Rong to go to him and find a little bit of dried wild fruits that he had saved last year, and he would use it first. Several craftsmen were called in to direct the construction of cauldrons, stoves, and utensils for distilling rice sake.

Let a few old and weak women and children who can make wine in the logistics make fruit wine according to the method of making rice wine at home in the past. As for the pot table for distillation, after it was built, he pointed to add a large sealing lid to it, leaving a pouring opening, and a bamboo pipe with the thickness of two fingers was passed through the sealing lid, and the wine outlet was left outside. A simple device for purifying rice wine is all the way up.

Seeing that his money-making tools were done, Wang Bo leaned there with a smile, and his heart was beautiful for a while. Then he thought about how to use the inexhaustible timber in the mountains and the two rivers that flow from Xinghan City to serve himself. Let's come to the Three Kingdoms, if you want to be literate or not, if you want martial arts or not, it's this head that you play! No, it's the knowledge in the head! My head isn't very secretive.

Wood can be made into new furniture such as tables, chairs, benches, beds, etc., and it is more comfortable to put animal fur on the cushion than to sit on your knees all the time. There is a way to make money!

Can the river water be used for farming? It's a shame that it flowed in vain! As long as you survive this year, you don't need to buy food, it's really uncomfortable to always lack food! It's like being choked by someone else. Right! Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? The small waterwheel should not be difficult to master, it is a pity that such a large piece of flat land is wasted, the weeds are growing so luxuriantly, and you are worried that you can't grow crops?

Half a month passed unconsciously, during which the Xinghan army stopped several waves of passing caravans, all of which were arranged to stay here and wait for the switch to be released.

Wang Bo is not like overly stimulating the Xianbei people and the Huns, if they cut off their salt tea and important sources from now on, and attract large-scale Hu cavalry, with the current strength of the Xinghan army, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop it at all! Now he only collected some taxes on the iron weapons and armor carried by the caravans, told them to let them go in a few days, and informed them that the iron weapons and armor were only for this time, and there was no exception. Only daggers, short knives, and other blades that do not exceed two feet are allowed to be carried on board.

The royal caravan finally arrived, bringing a lot of grain and rice wine. After Wang An asked to see him, he took out a letter from his arms, which was written to Wang Bo by the general manager of the Wang family firm in Yanmen County.

The letter told Wang Bo that Wang's firm was the family property of Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuzhou, and asked Wang Bo to make it convenient. At the end of the letter, he vaguely warned Wang Bo: Don't go too far! Beware of letting Wang Tingshi know about this and causing trouble to yourself!

After reading it, Wang Bo pursed his lips, did not say anything, and immediately ordered: Tomorrow the switch will be released.

After more than a month of hard construction, today's Xinghan City is no longer what it used to be. Rows of barracks are neatly sorted and arranged, and the school yard is more than twice as large as Xinghan Village, and there are also more workshops for producing various things such as baggage warehouses, blacksmith workshops, and wine workshops. It is not until now that everyone understands: it turns out that Wang Bo has collected so many craftsmen, eaten and drunk to support them, and has worked hard to carry them from Jizhou, with the intention of this.

Most of the houses are made of rocks to prevent fire. Wang Bo first arranged not to build the city wall and left it for the future. It's just that materials such as sharp wood and thorns are used to lay out a defensive line. Three miles to the north, a caravan hall was built, which was used to rest for passing caravans.

The ancient city of Shanwu was officially renamed "Xinghan City". The drainage and fire prevention facilities in the city are perfect, and the ground plan is all made of sand mixed with small pebbles by the river, and then a kind of gelatinous soil called "clay" in the vicinity, mixed together and hardened. Wang Bo even tinkered with a batch of oil lamps covered with thin cloth in his "General's Mansion" and the office area of the generals, so as to be lit at night at important moments. It is also the world's first street lamp.

The road leading to the two passes is all hardened and built, more than two zhang wide, and the outside is protected by large stones. In the event of an emergency at the border, it can ensure the rapid mobilization of reinforcements and materials. It's just that it took too long, and less than half of the two roads were repaired, and it is estimated that it will take nearly a month to repair them all.

The slave pass is generally completed, six zhang high, three zhang wide, the outside of the pass is covered with shooting ports, all the hidden soldier holes are left with passages, connected with the top of the pass, convenient to enter and exit.

In addition to the low wall battlements with a width of a foot on the side of the top of the pass, a number of low walls were built at intervals of several feet in the rear to prevent arrows when the enemy attacked the enemy. All that's left is to set up the fortifications.

Two feet above the river, another volley bridge was built. The deck is paved with hardwood, and the bottom is made of cold wood from the mountains, which is inserted into the water that is not too deep to support the bridge deck, and a wooden wall is added to the outside of the bridge, and many wooden barrels hung by ropes are hung down to the river, which can be used to extinguish fires in an emergency.

There are also a lot of protective measures outside the Imperial Slave Pass. A deep ditch several zhang wide is excavated hundreds of steps down, and the river water is brought into it after it is dug. The open space between the trench and the wall, in addition to leaving a passage in and out of the gate, was covered with traps, wooden thorns, and even a part of thistle.

After all this was arranged, Wang Bo was convinced: under the defense of the iron bucket, if Hu Qi dared to attack, without taking off a layer of skin, he would never think that he would be able to get close to the wall.

Yuhu Pass was not built so quickly. The wall is more than twice as long as that of the Imperial Slave Pass, and because Wang Bo is afraid of prying at the root of the step, after finding that the road to Yanmen Pass has been cut off, he will definitely attack from the west first. Therefore, in the early stage of construction, most of the soldiers and auxiliaries were concentrated to build the Imperial Slave Pass first. After the completion of the Royal Slave Pass, we will focus on the construction of the Royal Hu Pass.

The Imperial Slave Pass had just been completed, and Wang Bo, who was a lot more down-to-earth, had not had time to take a breath, and carefully sorted out the next plan of the Xinghan Army. And it is becoming more and more frequent, and the number of Hu riders is also more and more concentrated. So far, 5,000 people have gathered, and then slowly press towards the Imperial Slave Pass.

Wang Bo knew that what should come would eventually come. The Xinghan army blocked the way to fortune for Budugen and the Southern Huns, and they would definitely not give up, this was just a small number of Hu cavalry of the remaining tribes, and they would pour out of the nest in autumn and winter.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Bo seemed to feel that the hand of war was greeting him. Since coming to this world for almost a year, Wang Bo has found that he has gradually fallen in love with this battlefield where flesh and blood are flying, screaming and wailing, and life and death are changing instantly, and he likes to smell its bloodthirsty smell. And leave all thoughts and unhappiness behind. Who said that every man has a beast hidden in his heart, and he should release it now?

Shaking his head violently, he went back to the cranky thoughts in his head, and ordered the soldiers to gather.

When all the generals and soldiers gathered in the school field, Wang Bo held a halberd in his hand and shouted: "Brothers! My home is now new! Can the dog be trampled on? ”

"Don't be trampled on! Not to be trampled on! Xinghan Wansheng! There was no need to motivate and agitate, and the roars of the soldiers broke through the sky.

"Good! Kill the dog with me! Xinghan Wansheng! ”

"Kill the dog! Xinghan Wansheng! Kill the dogs! Xinghan Wansheng! The sound of the mountain and the tsunami shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Xinghan Army strode towards the Imperial Slave Pass.

The cavalry team all withdrew to the pass, and most of the scouts were transferred to investigate outside the Yuhu Pass, beware of Hu cavalry from the direction of Pingcheng in the east. There are only a few hunting teams left on each mountain trail, plus a few auxiliaries to cooperate with the defense, there is no need to worry at all, experienced hunters will be tired of the half-dead mountain trail after walking for a while, and the enemy will not choose to attack from here like an idiot.

All the soldiers entered the Imperial Slave Pass, as well as most of the hunting team, nearly half of the reserve auxiliaries, a total of more than 2,000 people, and entered their combat positions in an orderly manner. Wang Bo was not at ease, so he sent someone to inform the hunting team that was hunting outside, and came back and rushed to the Yuhu Pass in the east to set up defenses. As for the remaining half of the auxiliaries, they still go their own way, building roads that should be built, and continuing to build walls when they should be built.

Closer, Wang Bo stood on the wall and looked into the distance: more than a dozen scouts, led by Niu Feihu and Zhang Baiqi, retreated while monitoring Hu Cai.

Zhang Baiqi seemed to have competed with Hu Lu, and a scout crouching on the back of the horse next to him was still motionless. When I got closer, I saw that he had been killed, and on Zhang Baiqi's left shoulder, there was an arrow made of bird feathers with tail feathers, which was two feet long when it was exposed, and the clothes at the wound were already blood-red.

Hu Qi stood still not far from the trench outside the Imperial Slave Pass, and several Hu people who looked like leaders gathered together, definitely discussing something.

Wang Bo stared and looked carefully: what is a savage! Most of them wore clothes made of animal skins, and some were shirtless and dressed in waistcoats. His hair was loose, and his forehead was slightly tied with a rope. His face is rough and dark, and his skeleton is very broad.

Looking at the body shape, it should be lower than the average Han people, but it is much stronger than the Han people. There are only a few leaders, who seem to be tall and big, and they are equipped with leather armor, longbows, spears, sabers, etc., and there are many unknown decorations on their bodies.

The rest is not good, except for the big stick and the iron fork in the hand...... In addition to a lot of strange weapons, each person carries a piece of bamboo behind their backs. Wang Bo wondered: What is this? When I asked Niu Feihu next to him, I knew that it was the bow and arrow of the Xianbei people, and I suddenly realized: This is also called a bow and arrow?

However, there is no shortage of horses in the nomadic tribe, judging from the number of empty horses standing beside them, one person and two horses are not to mention! Treat Wang Bo greedily......

Zhang Baiqi and others, who retreated into the pass, went down to rest, and the injured were handed over to Chen Rong's medical team to bandage. Niu Feihu came up and told Wang Bo: These Xianbei people are the left-behind cavalry of the tribe under the control of Bu Dugen. Mainly near Wujin County, its tribe is called Chile Department, and some of the surrounding small tribes are entangled and jointly send troops. In the middle of the front, the big man with slender red feathers on his head is the leader of the tribe.
