Luo Zhaoyun left the villa for two months, after returning to the manor, he first went to the back mountain to inspect the training of many children, in these three years, he secretly sent people to adopt many orphans, all between the age of six or seven to thirteen or fourteen, both boys and girls, good bones suitable for martial arts, selected out, by Shi Danai is responsible for teaching martial arts, training warriors and swordsmen.

The root bones are not suitable for children who practice martial arts, Luo Zhaoyun found someone to train them in business, arithmetic, craftsmanship, medical skills, spying and other skills, each has its own strengths, divided into different groups to learn, girls poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, business, espionage intelligence, etc., are also involved.

This is a large expense, and it is no longer enough to rely on the harvest of the vassals' fertile fields and orchards.

However, two years ago, Luo Zhaoyun set up a restaurant and shop in Huairong County, and according to some memory methods of later generations, he tried and tested for half a year, and finally brewed distilled liquor, which is purer and stronger than the current liquor regardless of taste and color.

The liquor of the Sui Dynasty, after firing, is mostly rice wine, turbid wine, water wine, etc., the steps of soju compared with later generations, it must not be mature, although there are also some spirits, the rice wine is processed by secret method many times, and most of the water in the wine is removed, so that the wine can be thick to the point that people vomit three bowls.

However, this kind of spirit has a cumbersome process, and it is not as flavorful as the distilled liquor gradually made by steaming, saccharification, fermentation, and distillation in later generations. The distilled liquor is colorless and transparent, the smell is fragrant and pure, the entrance is sweet and refreshing, and the alcohol concentration is high.

According to historical records, the name of soju was widely spread during the Tang Dynasty, and later generations generally believed that the soju here did not refer to distilled and fired liquor.

Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty wrote in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Shochu is not an ancient method, since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, its method of using strong wine and dregs into the retort, steaming on the gas, with a vessel to take the dew, all rancid wine can be steamed." "The process of shochu here is a relatively mature distillation.

Although the newly made liquor is not mature, the quality is much higher than that of the current rice wine, so the popularity of Luo Zhaoyun's 'Anning Restaurant' has increased rapidly, and it is second to none in the entire Huairong County.

Of course, in addition to the good wine, the food here is also more fragrant than the taste of other stores, from time to time to carry out promotional activities, bundle consumption, paste some leaflets everywhere, in the past two years, the restaurant business is booming, has acquired two branches of the restaurant in a row, the wealth is rolling.

Luo Zhaoyun has already instructed Ning Muhe to purchase several large real estates, quiet houses, all in the name of 'Ning', and the industry is getting bigger and bigger.

Now Zhao Can and other ten guards are still stationed in the villa, responsible for training the newly recruited family members, guards, troops, etc., and the salary has increased from ten to fifteen per month, and they can also drink for free; At this moment, they almost gave up on Luo Zhaoyun. A few months ago, Luo Yi sent someone over to ask them if they were transferred and replaced, but they all refused in unison, and even applied for the transfer of household registration from the government soldiers, and willingly followed Luo Zhaoyun as an escort in the future.

Luo Zhaoyun has now cultivated his own power, and his wealth is gathering more and more, and he is no longer afraid of the power of the Luo family's mother, thinking that he will not trouble her for the time being, it is already in the face of his father Luo Yi, and he will not make it difficult for him, if the eldest lady Meng still has the heart to do harm, he will not be soft.

He now wants to take Huairong County as his big rear, and gradually encroach on it, involving related industries little by little, affecting the lives of the people here, landlords and squires, and letting more people rely on Ning's signboard to live, such as using Ning's products, drinking Ning's wine, renting Ning's land, and over time, the roots are intricate, and he has created his own base camp here.

If the development of the wheel of history will not change, after Emperor Yang of Sui took office, in the seventh year of the Great Cause, he will crusade against Goryeo, and he will use the Youzhou area as a base for storing grain and storing armor.

As for the future of the country, who will get it, he doesn't care, because the social affairs are too far away from him for the time being, and if Luo Zhaoyun can compete for the world, he doesn't even believe it at the moment.

The times create heroes, and many historical figures are often guided by the situation, forced by the situation, and suddenly awaken and decide, so that history has many accidents.

Luo Zhaoyun came to the attic in the backyard of Anning Restaurant, surrounded by trees, very elegant, Ning Muhe saw him coming back, ran over excitedly, and looked him up and down: "Ah Lang, when did you come back?" ”

"Fengyun Villa, which arrived at noon, took a short rest and rushed over." Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly, it was originally a day's journey, but Luma's speed, half a day was enough.

Ning Muhe is seventeen years old, with a tender face, watery eyes, a bright look, a few locks of hair gently hanging on her cheeks, beautiful and colorful, wearing a moon-white cardigan, a small waist with a long skirt that is low on the floor, long and slender, and her chest is also bulging, which is quite large.

Xiao Nizi has become a big girl, in charge of the financial accounting of several restaurants, as well as the management of the operation, she is at ease, as if she has become a little proprietress outside, when she is external, she is a woman dressed as a man, so it will be more convenient to go in and out to talk about business.

In the past two years, I have been trained, and the whole person has matured a lot, exuding a temperament of wisdom and intellectual beauty.

However, when she saw Luo Zhaoyun, the manager's breath was completely gone, and it seemed that he had become his former personal maid again, and he couldn't wait to greet him.

"I'm fine, I've benefited a lot from traveling, by the way, how is the restaurant business?"

"It is very prosperous, not only there are many guests in the tavern, but even the Hu people, Khitans, Goguryeo, and businessmen from the Central Plains who come to do business from the south to the north will go to our restaurant to order dozens of jars and hundreds of jars of 'Yi Shui Han' spirits, and when the 'Yanshan Yue' wine comes out next year, our profits will be greater."

'Yi Shui Han' is the first series, which takes the civilian route, and is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar. In addition to distillation, the wine is also equipped with sandalwood, male cloves, and a little honey flavoring, the wine is fragrant, the taste is less spicy, a little more refreshing, and the aftertaste is endless.

"Ordinary rice wine is a jar and a penny, and some grades of rice wine are three pennies, and now our 'Yi Shui Han' soju is sold for five yuan and a jar, and it is still sold to a shortage, many people have already ordered it in advance and taken it a few days later." Ning Muhe smiled like a flower, like a little money fan, looking at the white flowers and silver every day, as well as five baht coins, cloth, and jewelry, which made her excited.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, he just took the opportunity to let this high-purity wine appear earlier, and took the opportunity to make some fortune and pave the way for the future. In troubled times, there is no capital, only acting as a pawn of other heroes, that is not Luo Zhaoyun's ambition.

Ning Muhe remembered something, and said happily, "Ah Lang, the song you wrote last time, 'Don't Yan Dan here, the strong man will rush to the crown.'" In the past, there were no people, and today the water is still cold. As the name of the poem brand of Yishui cold wine, it has been well received by many literati, and has now been widely spread in Huairong County. ”

Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly, it was just recited casually, and it was used as an advertising slogan for wine, but I didn't expect the effect to be good.

"Fan Yang Lu's side, is there an echo?"

"Well, Fanyang Lu is a first-class high school in the north, with great influence, whether it is Confucianism, being an official, doing business, learning, etc., there are very high achievements, in the past two months, the concubine has been sending people to contact the Lu family's steward in Huairongyi, ten days ago, from Zhuozhou, a descendant of the Lu clan Lu Xiaokang came over to discuss cooperation, but I plan to ask for our soju recipe."

Luo Zhaoyun shook his head and said: "I can't give it for the time being, but I can give it up in terms of profits, after all, I want to borrow the influence of the Lu family to spread the business throughout Youzhou, the five families in Fanyang, Lu, Zu, Zou, Shao, and Dong are all headed by the Lu family, and other wealthy gentry and businessmen in Youzhou are flaunted by the five families in Fanyang, so it is very helpful for us to have a good relationship with the Lu family, which is very helpful for us to fully gain a foothold in Youzhou!" ”

"The concubine understands and will continue to communicate with the people of the Lu family."

Luo Zhaoyun asked casually: "By the way, in the two months that I have been gone, there have been many business trips back and forth in Huairongyi, have you brought the latest trends and policies of the imperial court?" ”

Ning Muhe thought for a while and replied: "There is one thing, it happened a few days ago, it seems that the Turkic Bujia Great Khan, led the Eastern and Western Turkic soldiers, and coerced the elite soldiers of the Western Regions, Tiele, Husa, Abbah, Servant Bones and other large and small tribes, known as 300,000 troops, invaded the Great Sui border, because the Turkic Khan has been preparing for three years, the troops are strong, the mighty is mighty, and the garrison of the Great Sui Frontier is insufficient. At present, some people in the city have seen the text and are ready to go to the northwest to join the army. ”
