"San Lang, the old man believes in you very much, but you haven't satisfied me so far." On the mansion of Lu Guogong, Li Xiao played chess with Cheng Yanjin.

"It's going to be the New Year in a blink of an eye, and your few medicinal wines are really good, but the output is too small. In the early summer of next year, the army will march eastward, you can't let me leave with a hundred bottles of medicinal wine, right? ”

Li Xiao took the white chess to block Cheng Biting Jin's black chess, because his Go level was too average, so the two of them played backgammon under his strong recommendation, but unfortunately, even if Cheng Biting Jin was old, he was still a big old man, but Li Xiao was stunned that he didn't get any cheap under him.

"Old general, it is not easy to make wine, and it is even more difficult to make medicinal wine, and it is necessary to make wine, to concoct medicinal materials, and finally to soak wine, and it takes enough time to exert its effectiveness."

"This is your problem, not mine." Cheng Yanjin could have already ended the game, but he deliberately hung Li Xiao for a breath.

"Old general, I have been thinking about it these days, and I always feel that with my family's current ability, I really can't meet the needs of the general's Eastern Crusade medicine and wine, so I dare to ask the old general for a favor."

"Say."

Li Xiao proposed to build another medicinal liquor factory to specialize in the production of Jinchuang Medicine, which was very much needed by these Eastern Crusade soldiers.

"That's a good thing, is there anything you need me to help with?"

"There are many places that need the help of the old general, and they need land, workers, and all kinds of medicinal materials."

Cheng Yanjin stroked his beard, "Go on." ”

Lanxi medicinal wine has today's fame, although it is his Li Xiao's invention, but it is more due to the help of Xue Cheng's family, if it were not for them, Li Xiao would not have known how many times he would have been torn apart by people like Wei Yong, and there would not be even a bone residue left.

To be grateful, you have to know how to be grateful.

This time, it was proposed to build a medicinal distillery specially for the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but in fact, it was not all about making money. He wanted to repay them, and his plan was that the new distillery would have to have at least a few hundred or even thousands of people by then.

And this medicinal distillery, he prescribes medicinal liquor prescriptions and provides soju to the medicinal distillery, while Xue Chengliu and Liu provide resources in terms of manpower, material resources, and connections.

If it is planned, with the prestige of Cheng Xue and the others in the army and the imperial court, he will be able to win many military orders, which will be enough to make this medicine distillery make a lot of money.

Everyone has money to earn together, and Li Xiao only accounts for one or two percent of the shares.

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Cheng Yanjin laughed.

"The old man is not wrong about you kid, no matter what time you are not fascinated. But you also underestimate us, to be honest, I really don't look down on your little profits, I just leak a little between my fingers, and that's not all. Having said that, Cheng Yanjin was still very happy.

It's one thing for him to look down on it, and it's another thing for Li Xiaoken to refuse to give it, if it's a person who only knows how to ask for something but doesn't know how to give it back, it's a white-eyed wolf, such a person, he is not uncommon.

"Well, go back and go to Boxian, if you need any help, just ask him. I don't care about the benefits of opening a medicinal distillery, I only hope that you can hand over more medicinal liquor to me before the army is dispatched in early summer next year. ”

A bottle of medicinal wine, maybe on the battlefield in Liaodong, can be exchanged for one life, or even several lives, which is more important than others.

"San Lang, when my old Cheng started back then, he was not much better than you are now. So sometimes you don't have to be presumptuous, I heard that Gao Yang is entangled with you? If you feel that you can't afford to provoke her, you can tell me directly, I will come forward for you, and I will personally enter the palace to face the saint. ”

Cheng Yanjin, who was born in a reckless manner, although he also married the Qinghe Cui family after becoming famous, he still lacks the arrogance of those five surnames in his bones, and he will never look down on capable young people like Xue Rengui and Li Xiao.

Regardless of the background of the hero, he promoted Xue Rengui back then, and now he is willing to promote Li Xiao.

It is said that Cheng Biting Jin's family also has a princess, and his second son, Cheng Chuliang, the founding official of Dong'e County, married Princess Qinghe, the daughter of Taizong, but compared to Gao Yanglai, this princess performed well in Cheng Mansion.

"I won't trouble the old general in this matter for the time being."

Li Xiao thought that he said so much that day, and walked so simply, such a merry princess like Princess Gaoyang, there was no reason to pester a small landowner in the countryside.

But he thought wrongly, and after talking to Xue Wu and the others in Chang'an, he returned to Lanxi to make a pharmaceutical distillery together, but Wan Niang immediately came to him.

"A lot of land on our side has been bought, and Wang Yuanwai and Zhang Yuanwai have already moved their families."

There is land and wealth, land is fundamental, and no one wants to sell land, let alone sell the land and move the family away.

"What's going on?"

"It was a nobleman from Chang'an who came to buy the land at a high price, and gave them a high price that they couldn't refuse, and even bought all the Zhuangzi."

"Do you know what it is?"

Living in a place, sometimes distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and a good neighbor is extremely important. Although land buying and selling is a very common thing, Li Xiao still hopes that his new neighbor can be a better person to get along with.

"I heard it's a princess."

As soon as he heard this, Li Xiao had a bad premonition.

"San Lang, you said that the princess who bought the land wouldn't be Princess Gaoyang, right?" It seems that Li Xiao is not the only one who thinks so.

"I hope not."

"What if it's really Princess Gaoyang?"

Li Xiao propped his chin and pondered, if Gao Yang really bought the land around him at a high price and wanted to be his neighbor, then he couldn't help it, and people didn't buy and sell it.

"Our well water does not interfere with river water."

Wan Niang's eyes were full of sorrow, it had only been a few days of good life.

"Lady, there is something I want to discuss with you, today I went to Chang'an to visit General Cheng, and I thought of a plan, I am going to partner with Xue Wulang, Cheng Wulang, Liu Shilang and Liu Shilang to open a new medicine distillery, specializing in the production and supply of Jinchuang medicinal wine used in the army, etc., this new distillery will have a special shopkeeper outside, and in fact, it is owned by the five of us, and each family has two components."

"Are you going to hand over the shochu recipe too?" Wan Niang was a little worried, the key to the popularity of Lanxi medicinal wine now is that the soak is made of soju that has not been used before, which is the secret recipe of this family.

"Don't worry, only medicinal liquor is made over there, and the soju is directly provided by our brewery."

"But we can't supply any medicinal liquor from the Rejuvenation Hall now, so where can we supply a new medicinal distillery?"

"So we're going to have to expand the winery, and we'll start hiring people tomorrow."

was chatting, and a girl came over to report.

"Lang Jun, lady, someone outside the door came to visit, saying that it was a new neighbor who came to visit."
