The continuous growth of the team has brought great pressure to the economy of the Gu family, and there have been 50 or 60 people recruited on the side of Heisongling, plus nearly 100 people from the original 30 people, nearly 70 people from Shijie Village, and the original 50 people from the escort team, and more than 20 people have been recruited recently, and more than 200 people have been recruited for various expenses of nearly 4 or 500 taels of silver a month. And the team has to be expanded, if there is no other income, although the Gujia economy can be supported at present, it is by no means a long-term solution.

The liquor industry must be brought to the market as soon as possible, and on this day, Gu Haotian sent people to call Gu Song and Bian Zhong to understand the situation. Honka replied that after nearly three months of rushing work, the raw wine stored at home has been consumed, and a total of nearly 5,000 catties of new liquor has been obtained, and the original liquor purchased by Bian Zhong is currently being processed, and it will reach 10,000 catties by the end of the year according to the current progress. Gu Haotian silently calculated in his heart, ten thousand catties should be regarded as a profit of eight hundred wen per catty, and only eight thousand taels is still too little.

"Little officials, we have to make our own wine because it costs too much, so it is cost-effective." Bian Zhong's opinion was actually thought of by Gu Haotian a long time ago, but there was no suitable candidate for the time being. At this time, it happened that Zhu Guituo brought a letter saying that the guest room had been renovated and had begun to receive guests, and asked him to go and have a look. Thinking that Zhu Gui had been in the wine business before, maybe he had the resources in this area, so he decided to go to the county seat and see how the guest rooms were doing by the way.

On this day, an ox cart came in from the west gate of Yuncheng County, and then three guests lived in the Jiazi courtyard of "Shilixiang".

"The old man has eaten a lot of delicacies when he travels south and north, but he doesn't want this white jade soup and golden fish, but it has a different taste." At a wine table in the lobby of "Ten Mile Xiang", an old man praised.

"The students also found it very delicious." The reply is a scholar in his thirties.

The other young man was just keeping his head in the bowl of food.

"The guest officer didn't know that there was no 'white jade soup' and 'golden fish' in this ten mile of incense, which was rumored to have been created by the young owner of the store, and now it has become a famous dish in the county." There are diners at the adjacent table who are enthusiastic about it.

"This young owner is also a wonderful person." The old man smiled.

"Who said no, it's strange that this young owner is an eleven-year-old petty official."

"Oh, that's weird, too."

"What's even more strange," the diner watched a few foreign guests listen attentively, and the gossip heart was even stronger, he looked left and right, and said in a soft voice, "My second aunt's cousin is in the same village as him, according to him, this little official was originally a young urchin, since he was frightened by thunder in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he actually opened his mind, and now he does some adult things, and the son of my second aunt's cousin is now working in the escort team below him." ”

"Interesting, interesting." The old man and the scholar glanced at each other, stroked their beards and said again and again.

As he was talking, two young people came in at the door, and the diner said, "Coincidentally, coincidentally, please look at the guest officer, the little official in front of you is the little proprietor I just said." ”

The people at the table suddenly turned their heads to look at the door, only to see a fresh, handsome, handsome young man coming in from the door, eleven or twelve years old, nearly one meter six tall, Gu Pan has an extraordinary bearing. And the young man who followed behind also looked strong and mighty, like a tiger and a wolf.

Gu Haotian felt the gaze from the side, turned his head to look, and saw that it were three strange guests, nodded and went to the back hall.

"What do you think, sir?" The old man asked the reader.

"The cone of the sac will show its edge."

"What the hero sees." As he spoke, the two raised their glasses and drank them all.

In the backyard, Zhu Gui took Gu Haotian to visit the guest room, five courtyards of A, B, C, D, etc., full of guests can live for 100 people, each courtyard has its own characteristics, and the standard of later generations is applied to the multi-room, single room, and suite, and the design is more elegant. A few people returned to the restaurant, at this time there were more and more guests, Xiao Er kept coming in and out with wine and food, Gu Haotian suddenly remembered another purpose of today's visit.

"Brother Zhu Gui has always been engaged in wine trading, can you know the characters who make wine?"

"This little official is the right person, my brother Zhu Fu is a talent who makes wine, and a lot of the wine I sold a few years ago is his craft."

At this time, Gu Haotian suddenly remembered that Zhu Fu was responsible for supervising and supplying wine vinegar on the original Liangshan, and maybe he really knew how to make wine. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

"The Gu family wants to open a wine-making workshop, and there are no talents who have no wine-making skills, so you have to ask Brother Ling to come to help no matter what, and you will be rewarded."

"What's the difficulty, my brother is in his hometown is to open a tavern to live, and a few days ago he asked me if there is a good livelihood here, and I will write a letter in a few days." Zhu Gui patted his chest and responded.

Gu Haotian had a big wish, and he gained another talent, and he was happy in his heart. After a few days of idleness, he personally trained the newly recruited two dozen or so guards in the backyard. The original escort team left a team in Heisongling, Liangshan left another team, and there were only a few left in Gujiazhuang, thinking that the new wine was about to go on the market, and the finances were basically worry-free, so they recruited a group in the village, and raised Lei Heng and Gu Bo as captains. Originally, it was said that the election of the captain would be held in four months, but due to the complexity of the matter and the scattered team members, it was temporarily stopped.

So he went back to running in the morning, training during the day, and reading at night. It's just that he didn't notice the hill bag that he ran every day, and these days, there are two people, one old and one young, on the mountain watching their every move.

"Qing'er, do you look at the training method of the ancient family's boy, which is better or worse than the officers and soldiers?" The old man asked.

"The training of the children of the ancient family is like the rising sun, full of vigor and sharpness, and the training of the official family is like evening smoke, loose and free, tangible and insubstantial."

As an old man with the experience of teaching the forbidden army, he has a good idea of Gu Haotian's training methods, and the more he understands this young man these days, the more powerful the shock in his heart becomes. Let's talk about military training, he is also an expert, but seeing that the young man just repeats a few simple movements, but in a short period of time, he can practice the momentum of the mountains and seas, he thinks that he can't do it. It was the few movements that were turning around, and he broke up and crumpled many analyses, with his martial arts skills, he really couldn't see much use.

At night, in the Shili Xiang Jiazi Courtyard, the old man and the scholar sit opposite each other and drink tea.

"Zhou Gong, you can get something from a few days of hard work."

The gentleman didn't know anything, but the old man was getting more and more confused. An eleven-year-old boy with no elders at home to teach, how can he come up with so many unbelievable methods. ”

"The students have also heard a lot of rumors in the past two days, saying that this kid sacrificed his life to save people, help the poor, and was very benevolent and righteous at a young age."

Could it be that the rumors of thunder and lightning enlightenment are true, isn't that the person who should be destined for heaven, the old man secretly thought in his heart, if this is the case, his year's hard work will also be settled, and he can't help but be happy for a while.

"Zhou Gong doesn't have to speculate, he will naturally understand when he tries it in person."

"Okay, let's go with us tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Haotian led the team to run along the side of the mountain as usual. Soon he felt something unusual, it turned out that there were three people standing on the big stone on the south side of the mountain, and he ran closer to take a serious look, and vaguely remembered that it was the three people he met in Shilixiang Restaurant a few days ago. I felt a little strange in my heart, but since there was a guest visiting, as a landlord, I naturally couldn't be rude, so I asked Bian Xiang and them to lead the team to continue, and went to inquire by themselves.

"The three distinguished guests have been invited, I don't know what you have to do in our township, do you need help?" Gu Haotian stepped forward to greet him politely, only to see that the old man and the scholar were extraordinary, and the young man was also heroic.

"It's not very important, just passing through your place, seeing that this weather is extraordinary, just take a break." The scholar-like man replied.

Gu Haotian didn't believe it in his heart, he knew best whether there was a scenery in this place, the key was that this was just a rural road, and there would be such a coincidental passer early in the morning.

"That being the case, the humble house is not far from here, so dare to invite a few people to have a cup of tea." He didn't say anything, and simply sent out an invitation.

"So it's bothering." Those few people did not refuse.

So the four of them walked along the path to Gu's house, and when they stepped into the courtyard with their front feet, the escort team led by Bian Xiang ran up from behind with a slogan that shook the sky. With Bian Xiang's "step in place, go up to the right, look forward, stand upright, take a break" and other series of passwords, only for a moment more than 50 people stood in a neat phalanx.

The feeling of close range is not comparable to seeing flowers in the fog on the mountain, the three of them were shocked, and the old man had a deeper thought in his heart. He thought of the battlefield, in the face of enemy attacks, if he could instantly line up, what a big opportunity he should get, but how many people could do it, and he had a desire to find out.

The next day, the three guests who only drank a cup of tea did not say that they left, but leisurely regarded themselves as real guests, eating, drinking, and watching, and the young one volunteered to show off on the obstacle course.

Gu Haotian didn't take them seriously, the training that should be trained, the practice that should be practiced, and of course the etiquette that should be there are also fulfilled. The two sides seem to have reached a wordless tacit understanding, but they made Bian Xiang into a second monk - he couldn't figure his head.

That night, Gu Haotian took out new wine to entertain guests, and when the unique wine in the world strongly stimulated the old man's taste buds, he couldn't help but spit out a name when he was drunk.

Gu Haotian suddenly listened, and suddenly felt like thunder, and was dumbfounded.
