I looked at the strong man in front of me in shock, isn't Xing Daorong a fictional character of Mr. Luo, how can it really exist in history. I calmed down and asked Xing Daorong, "Torture Hero, I don't know why you got involved with the people in this tavern?" ”

Xing Daorong sighed and said, "Since I returned from studying art, I haven't gotten an errand yet. I originally wanted to join the army, but my grandfather is old, and if I leave, I am afraid that there will be no one to support me. Today, my grandfather came here to order food and drinks, and persuaded me to join the county defense army in my county, not wanting to be stolen by thieves on the way. After I finished eating with my grandfather, he realized that the money bag had been lost, and I was penniless, so I only told the store that I owed it for the time being, and I would pay it back later. But this shop is so unreasonable, so he asked the guy to raise a stick and come to fight, this guy is really a dog's eye and looks down on people, hum! ”

I hurriedly picked up the wine jar and filled Xing Daorong's wine bowl, served it to him and said, "The strong man of the torture will dissipate his anger first and drink this cup full." ”

Xing Daorong drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and I couldn't believe it when I saw him so good. Is this fake wine, or plain water? I also drank a bowl of wine and tasted it, it was really bland and tasteless, just like rice wine.

I was thinking about making high-grade wine, when the old man next to Xing Daorong bowed to me and said, "The old man is Yusen's grandfather, Xing Xianyao. Yusen has a miserable life since he was a child, and his parents died not long after he was born, and it was the old man who brought him up, so Yusen was filial to the old man. ”

I looked at the old man in front of me, with wrinkles and age spots on his face, and it seemed that he was really old. I picked up a bowl of wine and toasted him and Xing Daorong, and said: "I admired the most loyal and filial piety in my life, and now I am in troubled times, don't you know that the times make heroes." A hero like Yusen Xiandi is at the time of the use of force, so why bother to be controlled by others? ”

The old man immediately heard what I meant, Xing Daorong reacted half a beat slowly, knowing that I was asking him not to join the army, and asked, "Then according to the child's opinion, what should I do?" ”

I drank a bowl of wine and said, "There is a person who is a descendant of the Han family, a descendant of the grandfather of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. Just because there is no way to serve the country, empty ambitions, trapped in this Duliang County......"

I wanted to learn Liu Bei to play the bitter card, but these tears just couldn't flow down the corners of my eyes. I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish, but the salt on the dish did not melt, and I cried when I was salty. Seeing this, Xing Daorong asked, "Who is this person?" ”

I sighed and said, "I don't dare to hide it, it's down." ”

Xing Xianyao looked shocked, and said to Xing Daorong: "Liu Gongzi is the emperor, Yusen, you should help him make contributions, and you can also glorify the lintel of my criminal family!" ”

Xing Daorong nodded, took a bowl of wine to salute me, and said, "I am willing to help Brother Liu." ”

I took the wine back to him, drank the wine in the bowl and said to him, "Brother Yusen has helped him, and he has been like a tiger." ”

Xing Daorong said: "I have some strategies in the lower class, and I am familiar with the martial arts of various sects. It's just that he has a skill, Brother Liu, please advise me on what to do? ”

I pretended to be profound: "Although I don't have enough financial resources, I have a way to make money." There are many inconveniences to talk here, why don't you go to my home to talk about it? ”

I asked Liu An to pay for the food and drinks, and took Xing Daorong and his grandfather back home. I closed the door of my room, sat down and said to them, "Now is the time for the rise of the world's heroes, and I should recruit the villagers to fight for the thieves." As for the way to make money, I have a way of refining coarse salt into refined salt, and I can make wine stronger than today's wine. ”

They looked disbelieving, but fortunately, I graduated from science and engineering in my previous life, and my hands-on ability is relatively strong. I asked Liu An to find some coarse salt that I usually eat at home, purified the coarse salt, and showed them the refined refined salt.

Xing Daorong and his grandfather were all shocked, but Liu An came running over to say that my friend had come to visit. I went out to greet him, only to see the person dressed as a Confucian scholar, and he bowed down to me and said, "Brother Junli, I am very guilty when I heard that my brother fell off the horse on the way home after drinking with me that day. Today, I came to visit Brother Junli, and I was relieved to see that my brother was in good health. ”

I heard him say this, and my heart said that Liu Du had gone to drink with you before coming back, and I also crossed over to him. You kid is guilty, seeing that my family is so dilapidated, don't you sponsor some medical expenses?

I bowed my hand and said, "After I got off the horse that day, I forgot the names of my relatives and friends. Can you tell me your name? ”

The man looked at me with a confused expression and said, "Brother Junli, I'm Lai Gong Lai Zhenxue." We're friends! ”

I looked at Lai Gong embarrassedly and invited him into the house. I introduced Xing Daorong and his grandfather to him, and after the two sides exchanged salutes, Lai Gong saw Xing Daorong's fierce face, pulled me aside and asked, "Brother Junli, what's wrong with you?" I remember you didn't bother to associate with these rough people, huh? ”

I smiled and said, "Brother Xian, I want to do something big, and this person is indispensable for help." Now I want to recruit the villagers to crusade against the barbarian rebels and bandits, make meritorious contributions, and revive my Liu family's foundation. Now I'm getting along with the way to make money. Can Zhenxue be willing to help his brother? ”

Lai Gong listened to me and asked me what I was going to do. I told him about the production of refined salt and spirits, and he said that if I could produce them, he would help me sell them to the surrounding counties. Scarcity is expensive, monopolizing the market for salt and wine, am I still short of money to recruit soldiers? I nodded, it seems that this Lai Gong is really a talent, this Liu Du had a good connection before.

With two assistants, Xing Daorong and Lai Gong, I began to recruit workers to produce refined salt and spirits. Fang'er saw that I had made my house a miasma, and asked me what I was going to do. I bluntly said that I wanted to go into business, but I didn't expect her to strongly oppose it. What do you say, our family is a scholar family, although it is down, it can't be an inferior profession like a merchant. I shook my head helplessly, it seems that the ancient idea of heavy agriculture and suppression of business was too serious, but fortunately, this is not a peaceful and prosperous era, and the status of merchants is not high but they make a lot of money.

There are two categories of wine made from grains, one is to use the enzymes produced when the grains are sprouted to saccharify the raw materials themselves into sugar, and then use yeast to convert the sugar into alcohol; The other is to make koji from moldy grains, and use the enzymes contained in the koji to saccharify and ferment the grain raw materials into liquor.

After a lot of hard work, I was able to make koji and make distilled spirits. Lai Gong asked his friends to find a merchant who was transporting and sold the wine we produced in bulk to taverns in Lingling County and even the surrounding counties.

The money from the sale of alcohol alone was enough for me to recruit the villagers, and the extra money was used to improve their equipment and food, and then I handed over the villagers to Xing Daorong for training. With the money from selling refined salt, I bought a new house in the county town, and Fang'er and I lived in it, and hired many servants to serve us.

Xing Daorong was indeed a fierce general, he was holding a big axe to open the mountain, and he slashed and killed the bandits and barbarians who did not dare to get close. With only a few hundred villagers, he broke through more than a dozen cottages and barbarian settlements in Lingling County. I asked Xing Daorong to select able-bodied young men from among the captured prisoners of war and put them into my ranks, which grew in size.

In October, the barbarians of Wuling County next door rebelled, and the barbarians around Duliang County also responded with troops. Xing Daorong and I led the village warriors and the county soldiers to jointly crusade against the barbarians, and Lai Gong transported grain and grass for us, and quickly defeated this group of barbarians. I also received the appreciation of the Taishou, and I took the opportunity to bribe him to report his military exploits to the court on my behalf. The imperial court sent a little eunuch to inspect the results of the battle, and I was a civil servant in my previous life, and I knew this well. So the imperial court named me Duliang County.

I thought that a happy life was about to begin, but unexpectedly, a man named Zhou Dynasty rebelled and attacked Duliang County with a large number of rebels. Xing Daorong and I led the army to hold on, and many brothers died. Fortunately, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian came in time and relieved us of the siege. I joined forces with him to defeat the Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty himself died under the axe of Xing Daorong. I was successfully promoted to the prefectural magistrate of Duliang County, and for the past year, I have been engaged in construction here. The people of Duliang County have become my territory.

Now in this small room, the person named Han Xuan in front of me, he said that he is also a traverser, I am surprised and delighted. What shocked me was that all this was not my dream, I couldn't wake up, I really crossed over here after I died. Happily, in this foreign land, I am finally not a lonely modern person!
