Volume 1 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 11 Ten Strategies
Listening to the drama Zhi, there are ten strategies, but Guo Jiaxian couldn't help it, so he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and asked, "What other strategies does Mr. have, please tell me one by one." ”
Xi Zhicai saw Guo Jia playing treasure, smiled, and said: "The first strategy is to sell soap, establish independent sales points, and gradually build an intelligence network based on this; The second strategy is to correct the name of the cottage to reassure people's hearts. These two have just been described in detail. After a pause, he said, "Is the wine that Brother Guo ordered to be brewed a few days ago?" ”
Guo Bin was puzzled when he heard him suddenly talk about wine, and said casually: "Brother Zhicai, do you want to taste it?" After a few days, it's almost over. ”
Seeing that it was getting late and everyone was about to return to the village, he instructed the woman in charge of the meal to cook, and ordered Guan Hai to take a few young men who had repaired the rabbit nest to the warehouse.
When everyone came to the place where the clay pots were stored in the warehouse, they first took a clay pot and opened the mud seal, and everyone felt that the wine was fragrant, as if it was more rich and fragrant than what they had drunk before. Seeing that the crushed grapes had drifted to the mouth of the jar, Guo Bin asked people to prepare two clay pots that were cleaned and carefully dried, with a layer of fine linen cloth on them.
When it was ready, he took the wooden spoon and carefully scooped out the grape residue and part of the wine that was floating on the top layer and poured it on the fine linen cloth covering the mouth of the can. The wine was sifted through the linen cloth into the jar, and after a while only grape residues remained. The crowd thought, "I guess this is sake lees." ”
I saw Guo Bin carefully scoop out the wine lees and the upper layer of wine one by one, and then changed the jar and scooped out the middle layer of wine and poured it in. I saw that the middle layer of wine was as red as blood, rushing straight into the clay pot from the wooden spoon, and it looked crystal clear and dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.
After the middle layer of wine was scooped up, Guo Bin ordered someone to bring the jar that had previously held the top layer of wine and pour all the remaining wine into it. I saw that the bottom of the wine was filled with scattered grape residues, filtered through fine linen, and all that was left was a fine wine as red as blood.
Guo Bin picked up a piece of charcoal and marked it on the jar. turned around and said to Ma Lao, who had been watching from the sidelines: "Ma Lao, this is how the wine is separated." The middle layer of the wine is the upper grade, and the upper and lower layers are the lower grade, and these grape pomace are useless and can be poured out. ”
He turned his head to a few young men who followed Guan Hai and said, "A few of you follow Ma Lao's instructions, pack the rest of the wine syrup separately, and then seal the mouth of the jar with the previous method and mark it." After finishing tonight's meal, I have already instructed Aunt Lin to stew meat, and add a bowl of wine and a bowl of meat to each person tonight. Ignoring the cheering crowd, he walked to his room with two jars of preliminarily brewed wine. On the way, he met Tong Yuan, Zhao Yun, and Guo Quan who came back, so they shouted and went back to the house together.
When I returned to the house, I saw that Aunt Lin was directing several women to put the prepared food on the table. Seeing Guo Bin leading everyone in, he hurriedly said: "Binzi, it's all done, you can say hello if you still need anything." ”
This Aunt Lin is a native of Guojiazhuang, and according to the seniority, Brother Guo Bin should be called aunt. On weekdays, Guo Bin told Guo Yongzhi and asked her and her family for their opinions, and they hired everyone to cook for everyone in the mountains. Because she grew up watching Guo Bin's brothers, everyone in this village respects her a lot.
Guo Bin said: "My aunt is tired, everyone will eat wine tonight, and each person will try a bowl of freshness." Those under the age of fifteen were replaced with goat's milk, and the milk produced by those sheep was boiled, and each person had a bowl. ”
Aunt Lin was busy and took the women to close the door and go out.
At this time, Guo Bin turned his head to Guo Jia and said: "Little brother, go back and write a letter to your uncle, and exchange the money from selling soap for dozens of sheep, preferably ewes that can produce milk." In the future, those under the age of fifteen, regardless of gender, will cook a bowl of goat's milk every day to drink. After thinking about it, he explained: "It is the time to grow the body, and you should supplement more nutrients." ”
Seeing that Guo Jia nodded and wrote it down, he invited everyone to take a seat. Guo Bin looked at everyone present, Wu Youtong Yuan, Zhao Yun, Guan Hai, Wen Youxi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Guo Quan (well, barely counted one), he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. I, Guo Bin, have also mixed up to this day, and my subordinates are all top civil and military generals in the late Han Dynasty, and no one will believe it if I go back to the 21st century.
Guo Bin felt yy in his heart for a while, and then hurriedly beckoned everyone to take a seat. Originally, people under the age of fifteen were not allowed to drink, but Guo Jia and Guo Quan couldn't help but grind and bubble their faces with dead faces, so they each placed a small bowl in front of them, and poured half a bowl of wine syrup into it. Although this wine is mellow and not very spicy, the alcohol content is not low, about 30 degrees.
The meal that everyone eats is called a hearty one, and it is both wine and meat. just knew that Guo Bin had something to say, so he drank a bowl and lived. During the banquet, Guo Bin informed everyone of what Xi Zhicai said today, except for Guan Hai, who heard it half-understood, everyone else broke out in a cold sweat. In my heart, I secretly said: "I only feel that the cottage is prosperous day by day, how can I think that there is such a danger." "At the moment, the eyes of the people watching the drama are different.
Unexpectedly, it was Guo Quan's boy who spoke first and said respectfully: "Mr. is even more powerful than the dog-headed military division, I don't know how to resolve these five hidden dangers?" I only heard Guo Jia roll his eyes for a while.
Xi Zhicai said: "I don't know what Brother Guo thinks about the name?" ”
"I was about to counsel with the people." Guo Bin continued: "This is Fulong Mountain, how about calling it Fulong Villa? ”
Seeing that no one spoke, Guo Bin asked Tong Yuan, "Master, what do you think?" ”
Tong Yuan said: "You are the owner of the village, and it is up to you to decide." ”
Guo Bin nodded, glanced around at everyone, and said, "In this case, it will be called Fulong Villa in the future, and I will have a name in the future." After a pause, he said to Xi Zhicai: "Brother Zhicai, I just said two strategies, so I have to give advice to the rest." ”
Xi Zhicai took a sip of wine and said, "If you don't give up, Xi Zhong will be ugly." He glanced around, and saw that everyone was looking at him, and then said, "This third strategy will fall on this wine." ”
Guo Jiaqi said: "Oh? I don't know what Mr. means? ”
Xi Zhicai said slowly: "It is really a blessing to have three lives to drink this wine today. However, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all. At this point, there was a pause.
Guo Quan immediately said: "I know, are you going to open a restaurant?" ”
Guo Bin nodded and said: "Just what I want, the restaurant is the fastest place for information circulation." Opening a restaurant can not only sell wine, earn money, but also collect intelligence, and most importantly, it can be used to attract high-rollers for my use. ”
Xi Zhicai said: "Yes, that's exactly the case. In addition to these three benefits, there is also one advantage of opening a restaurant, which is the fourth policy. After a pause, he said, "This fourth strategy is Xuanrende." Using the mouths of past merchants and high-rollers in the rivers and lakes to promote the name of benevolence and virtue of Fulong Villa, one can build momentum, and the other can attract talents to invest. ”
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Xi Zhicai took a sip of wine and said, "This fifth strategy is to recruit disciples. 1. Landless peasants who can harvest land come to open up the wasteland and reclaim it, and attach themselves to Fulong Mountain; second, they can buy displaced people as domestic slaves; Three can buy orphans, teach martial arts skills, and make them heart. ”
Guo Bin listened to what Xi Zhicai said reasonably, and couldn't help nodding slowly, and everyone present was secretly admiring in their hearts.
Seeing everyone's demeanor, Xi Zhicai was satisfied, put the wine bowl on the table, and said, "This sixth strategy is to train soldiers." After a pause, he said: "I have 30 young and strong people in the village, divided into six groups, and one group can fight and kill the tigers, so the combat power is really rare." Saying that, he looked at Guo Bin and said, "I heard that this is the martial arts passed on by Brother Guo, right?" ”
Guo Bin nodded, which was considered to be recognized. In fact, Guo Bin's stabbing technique has already been taught to Tong Yuan, Zhao Yun and Guan Hai, and it is usually Zhao Yun and Guan Hai who are responsible for leading the team into the mountains during the day and teaching marksmanship at night.
Xi Zhicai said to Tong Yuan: "Mr. Tong, don't you know that this stabbing technique can go to the battlefield?" ”
Tong Yuan said: "This technique is simple and fierce, easy to learn and easy to practice. It can be used for one-on-one fighting, and it can be cooperated by several people, and it is a sharp weapon for battlefield foot combat. ”
Xi Zhicai said: "Then I'll rest assured." Then he said to Guo Bin: "This is the most rare method of military training." Guo Bin nodded in agreement. The stabbing technique is the martyrs during the Anti-Japanese War with blood on the battlefield in exchange, the Japanese invaders' stabbing skills were not a joke, they can win the Japanese invaders, can the People's Liberation Army teach the stabbing skills can be bad. And the most rare method of training soldiers mentioned by Xi Zhicai is to fight during the day, fight against wild beasts, train troops at night, and hone in skills.
Xi Zhicai continued: "The seventh strategy is to repair the cottage and build a high wall in case of contingency. As for the eighth policy, it is to vigorously purchase grain and hoard it in the village. Externally, there is no output in the village, there is a lot of people and horses to chew, and in the name of making wine needs grain, a large number of grain is purchased, and farmers are recruited to open up the wasteland and reclaim it. After taking a sip of wine, he said: "I see that the mountain of Fulong Mountain is very gentle, and there are rivers, which can be used to open up wasteland for farming and divert water for irrigation." In the past, it was infested with wild beasts in the mountains, and there was no support, so no one dared to come to open up the wasteland. Now it is possible to rely on the cottage to hoard grain and grass here. ”
Guo Bin nodded again and again when he heard this, isn't this just building a high wall and accumulating grain. It seems that the wise man's concern is the same in ancient and modern times.
"The ninth strategy is to smelt iron, forge weapons, and forge armor." Hearing Xi Zhicai say this, Guo Bin's cold sweat has already flowed. He knew that the weapon was okay, but it was only a few iron spears, and it was a felony to hide the armor.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Xi Zhicai secretly said in his heart: "It's time for the next dose of fierce medicine." Then he stood up and said to Guo Bin: "Today's troubled times are coming, and the people in the world are in danger of being tired. Junren and righteousness are unparalleled, ambitious, and talented. Solve the people upside down, is it in Junhu? The play is not talented, and he is willing to lead the horse to the stirrup and assist the master. Then he bowed down and called himself the lord.
In fact, Guo Bin listened to the ten strategies put forward by Xi Zhicai, and he already knew his intentions. At this time, watching the drama Zhi acted like this, and his heart was clear. Secretly glanced at Zhao Yun, got up and helped Xi Zhicai up, but said in his mouth: "Bin is young and shallow, and his moral ability is still lacking, but he will not give up, please be commensurate with his brother." Xi Zhicai was very happy in his heart, got up and looked at Zhao Yun. When Guo Bin saw it, he couldn't help wiping a cold sweat in his heart, and he didn't know how this famous general would react.
Zhao Yun saw that the drama was like this, and his heart was also transparent, he got up and bowed, and said: "Zhao Yun greets the lord." "Originally, I learned to write and martial arts, and the goods were with the emperor's family. Although Zhao Yun learned all the skills of battlefield warfare from his teacher, but now that his relatives are involved in politics and the eunuchs are dictatorial, he does not want to be out of office at this time, it is the time when the future is confused and hesitant. I met Guo Bin outside Guojiazhuang, and after seeing his actions in the past two months, I admired him in my heart. Today, I listened to Xi Zhicai's analysis of the current situation, which was really shocking and unusual, and I was enlightened. Although he is a senior brother, he has always been low-key, and he attaches great importance to etiquette, so he bows down to the ground.
This sentence made Guo Bin as happy as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, and he had 3,600 pores all over his body, none of which were uncomfortable. Immediately helped Zhao Yun and said: "Senior brother tortures me, since you and I are senior brothers, we will already share blessings and misfortunes." ”
Guo Jia and Guo Quan stared at Xi Zhicai with admiration in their eyes at this time, and their hearts were full of admiration. When Tong Yuan heard the drama Zhicai get up to admit the master, the light in his eyes flashed, and seeing Zhao Yun like this, he nodded with satisfaction and didn't say a word. Even though Hai was still stunned there, he didn't know what kind of wit these people were playing.
In this way, under the careful arrangement of Xi Zhicai, everyone decided to divide the master and slave.
The Marquis of Yingyin taught Taizu with ten strategies, and Taizu was overjoyed, so he followed it and thought it was a humerus.
