Han Xuan ordered the re-formed Sixth Team of the Shadow Tiger Army to go to Hanoi to pick up Du Shi and Han Hao to come to Changsha to arrange the marriage for him and Huang Wudie. Han Xuan's letter asked Han Hao to take the Du family to move to Changsha, and Han Hao replied that there were rebellions in the north, and he was afraid of encountering dangers along the way, so he asked Han Xuan to postpone his marriage with Huang Wudie.

Han Xuan was a little unhappy, but Huang Wudie comforted him and said, "Xuan, don't worry." Qiao'er can wait a little longer. ”

Han Xuan kissed Huang Wudie's face and said dotingly, "You are my fiancée now, you should change your name, right?" ”

Han Xuanxin said to let her call her husband? No, he seems to remember the meaning of the ancient husband being a eunuch. I only heard Huang Wudie whisper softly in Han Xuan's ear: "Beloved, the concubine is polite!" ”

After Han Xuan and Huang Wudie finished working with you, they and Chen Wu were busy inspecting the construction work in Luo County.

They came to the barracks first, and Cao Xuan gathered the whole army for Han Xuan to review. There are a total of 1,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry in the county seat of Luoxian. The school field was full of soldiers, and I saw that they were neatly dressed and lined up in a neat line, looking at Han Xuan with a look of adoration. The young boy in front of him led them to defeat large and small bandits and rogues in Luo County in the past few years, and he was only sixteen years old.

Han Xuan stood on the soldier platform and waved at them, "The soldiers have worked hard! ”

Two thousand people knelt down on one knee and shouted, "The county commander has worked hard! ”

The shocking momentum shouted by two thousand people at the same time made Han Xuan and Chen Wu both enthusiastic, and Han Xuan said loudly: "Now Luo County is in good weather, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Although there are no bandits in the surrounding area for the soldiers to make meritorious contributions, the soldiers still need to practice diligently. The whole army was divided into more than a dozen squads, which took turns to settle the fields, and the grain and grass obtained were used for the consumption of the army. Forget the battle and be in danger! Tell me out loud, are you ready if the war comes again? ”

"Always ready to !!" Two thousand sergeants shouted in unison.

Han Xuan motioned for Cao Xuan to disband the army, and the sergeants returned to their respective posts in an orderly manner.

Han Xuan and Chen Wu came to the ordnance manufacturing camp again, and Huang Ergou and Pu Song were discussing the assembly line production of new weapons. This mode of production was taught by Han Xuan, and skilled workers were responsible for striking iron, and skilled workers were responsible for quenching. The finished weapon blades were handed over to the carpenter factory managed by Huang Ergou, and the carpenters were assembled into knives, guns, arrows, spears and other weapons.

The assembly line operation has greatly improved the production efficiency of the ordnance battalion, and Han Xuan hopes that he can have a large number of management talents to help him share his worries, but he can't ask for it.

At Pingluo Pass, Dong Ping led the Shadow Tiger Army members to train the squad assault formation, climbing, bows, crossbows, fighting and other skills, and he handed over the responsibility of defending the pass to the previous team leader Hou Yong, who was already fully competent through Dong Ping's training.

After Han Xuan and Chen Wu inspected it, they went to see the salt factory and the distillery, and Han Xuan asked the person in charge of the two factories and asked, "How is the sales of refined salt and spirits, and can the production volume keep up?" ”

I saw that the two people in charge glanced at each other, and Zhao Rui, the person in charge of the salt factory, arched his hand and said to Han Xuan: "Lord Qiyu County, when the original refined salt was first sold in the surrounding counties, it was in short supply, and the refined salt was sold out as soon as it was produced. But...... Recently, there is also a refined salt factory in Lingling County, and they produce much more than us. From time to time, we often compete for business with the surrounding counties. ”

Wang Zhe, the person in charge of the distillery, also said: "The spirits produced by the distillery are acceptable to the army, but there is also a spirits factory in Lingling County, and the spirits they produce are stronger than ours, and the spirits we produce are no longer sold around Lingling County." ”

Han Xuan wrinkled his brows and thought, it shouldn't be. The workers and persons in charge of the distillery and the salt factory themselves have taken pictures of the Tiger Army members closely monitoring, how can the secret recipe for making it still leak out.

Chen Wu pulled him to the corner and whispered, "Do you think it's possible that there is also a traverser in Lingling County?" ”

Han Xuan pondered for a while, then nodded, "Very likely!" The alcohol content of the wine we produce is already much higher than that of this era, how can people in this era still produce a higher number of alcohol? ”

Chen Wu clapped his hands and praised: "Great, do you want to pull him into the gang too, the three of us modern people are united and are not walking sideways at the end of this Han Dynasty!" ”

Han Xuan touched his chin and said, "You can try to invite him." I'll take a team of Shadow Tiger Army members to Lingling to meet this person. ”

Chen Wu asked Han Xuan to take him over, but Han Xuan didn't allow it: "You help me take a good look at Luo County, don't let any chaos happen in our base camp, especially pay attention to the movements of Sun Jian and the Han family." I'll just take Dong Ping with me. ”

Han Xuan then took Dong Ping and nine members of the Shadow Tiger Army to disguise themselves as a business trip, and traveled all the way from Luo County to Lingling County. They came to Xiangxiang County, Lingling County, which is the border with Changsha County.

Han Xuan found a tavern, found the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, bring the strongest liquor in your shop." ”

The shopkeeper took a jar of wine and put it on Han Xuan's table, and Han Xuan asked Dong Ping and a few members of the Shadow Tiger Army to taste it as well. After everyone tasted it, they all called it too strong.

Han Xuan tasted it, and it was indeed higher in alcohol than Chen Wu's wine, and the taste was also good. After drinking a bowl of water, he moistened his throat and said, "Shopkeeper, your wine here is too strong!" Where did you buy the goods? ”

The shopkeeper came over and politely said that this was the secret channel of their tavern. Han Xuan asked again and again, gave the silver and promised that he would never pass it on.

The shopkeeper whispered to Han Xuan: "The spirits in my store were purchased from Duliang County, but the lord of this liquor will not sell them to individual customers, and will only supply them to us merchants who open taverns." ”

After Han Xuan paid for the wine and food, he and Dong Ping set off for Duliang County to meet the adult that the tavern owner said.

There are many barbarians around Duliang County, and now there are occasional barbarians in this county wearing Hanfu to sell some handicrafts on the street. It seems that this adult's policy of sinicizing these barbarians is still relatively good.

Han Xuan arrived at the county government and told the officials that they wanted to meet the lord who sold spirits. The official said impatiently, "There are no adults selling spirits here, so go quickly!" ”

Han Xuan stuffed the silver to him, and his attitude immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees and said, "This son is looking for our Liu County Order, right?" Liu County's order is in the county office, and I will inform you. ”

After a while, the official invited Han Xuan and Dong Ping into the hall, only to see a person wearing an official uniform and smiling face walking in front of Han Xuan. He bowed to Han Xuan and said: "This official is Liu Du, the county commander of this Duliang County, dare to ask what the prince is doing here?" ”

Han Xuan bowed and said: "In Xia Han Xuan, he is a merchant who has traveled here, and he heard that the county order is selling spirits, so he has come to ask the lord to discuss the matter of taking the goods." ”

Liu Du clenched his fists and coughed a few times, and asked Han Xuan to sit down and talk first. Han Xuan sat on the chair, touched the chair, and actually painted it, thinking that this Liu Du was really a traverser.

Liu Du asked: "I don't know who told Gongzi that the official was selling spirits?" ”

Han Xuan winked at him and said, "I wonder if the county magistrate can take a step to speak?" ”

Liu Du led Han Xuan to a secluded room, closed the door and said to Han Xuan: "Master Han, can you talk about it now?" ”

Han Xuan looked at him with a smile and said, "Yes, because I'm a traverser." ”

The latter looked at Han Xuan's eyes wide in disbelief when he heard this, and looked at him blankly.
