Li Yu, who was originally in the Black Bone City, was sitting on the tower of the east gate of Bozhuo City at this time. In front of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info there is a high-legged round table, on which is placed Hedong red wine produced by Yanwangfu Distillery, and ten plates of pastries refined by the chef of Wangfu are placed.

Li Yu held the goblet glass in his right hand, shook the red wine that only took up one-third of the goblet's volume, and looked at the wine vessel on the table made of colorless glass that was incomparably precious in the eyes of people of this era, and contained the wine with a charming crimson color.

The name of the red wine is not small, the selection of high-quality grapes produced in Hedong is made, the variety is still the high-quality Gaochang grapes brought back by Hou Jun's collection of Gaochang, and the grapes that Emperor Taizong planted in Xiyuan to make red wine are the varieties.

The Hedong area is very suitable for the cultivation of this variety of grapes due to the water and soil environment, and the grapes produced can be said to be the best in the Tang Dynasty, and the red wine produced is a tribute to the imperial wine, which is not affordable for the families of the powerful.

Two years ago, after Li Yu's winery industry in Chang'an was on the right track, he did not hesitate to insert himself into the Hedong red wine market and officially launched the red wine industry.

However, due to the small grape planting area in Hedong, the output of red wine is naturally not large, after all, the development of the commodity economy in the Tang Dynasty is far less than that of the Song and Ming dynasties. The red wine produced is only supplied to the Gyeonggi region, such as Chang'an and Luoyang, where there are many powerful and wealthy people. In these two places, there are many Hu merchants who open wine shops with a very Western Regions style, and they bring red wine from the Western Regions from their hometowns, which constitutes a competition. Although Datang's local red wine competes with Western Regions red wine, it is still not satisfied with the red wine market in the Liangjing area.

The production of local red wine is small, and the distance from the Western Regions is too long, and the volume is naturally not large, which jointly pushes up the price of Datang red wine.

The Datang red wine industry has such a vast market, except for the small share of the Hu merchants from the Western Regions who came to open wine shops to sell red wine, but local businessmen did not pay much attention to such a potential business opportunity.

This is also limited by the low development of the commodity economy, merchants often transport the special products of one place to another place to sell to earn the difference, few merchants organize their own recruitment of workers to set up workshops for large-scale production, often their own family production and self-sale scale is not large.

Only those wealthy families who own a lot of land can set up a few workshops to produce goods.

As Li Yu, who has the memory of his previous life, he has a reference to the world capitalist economic development model of the previous life in the development of business, and directly throws off a few streets of contemporary businessmen.

The sudden insertion into the red wine industry in Hedong did not affect the price of red wine, Li Yu bought thousands of acres of land suitable for grape cultivation in Hedong and planted grapes all of them, until two years later, that is, this year, the grape plantation began to bear fruit.

Although it will take a few years for the grape plantation in Yanwangfu to bear fruit, the winery has already been built in the plantation, and the output is not large by purchasing grapes grown by local farmers to make red wine, but it is not a problem to meet the needs of Li Yu's wine shops and restaurants in Chang'an.

As for the wine vessels, Li Yu shamelessly used his craftsmen to make colorless glass technology, which copied the goblets and wine bottles of the West in later generations.

So that now there are only two kinds of cups for drinking red wine in the Liangjing area, one is the traditional jade cup, and the other is the tall glass produced by Yanwangfu.

Hehe, a few days ago, the vineyards in Hedong sent a letter to report that the vineyards had the first fruit this year, and the grapes were growing very well, and the grapes would be able to harvest and make wine at the end of August.

This year is really a harvest season, after so many years of hard work in the military, politics and finance, flowers began to bloom one by one, Li Yu's charming smile shook the intoxicating red wine in his hand.

"Jun Xun is in high spirits during this time, aren't you worried that Li Shangdan and Wang Hu will not be able to fight well?" Xin'er took a sip of red wine, and said again: "The two of them have only 18,000 soldiers and horses, but the Goguryeo people have more than 30,000 troops and sit on a strong city. ”

"Report, Your Highness General Li military report."

Li Yu took the military newspaper from the guard's hand, opened it, and smiled bitterly at Xin'er: "It seems that you really said it, hey, Xin'er, don't you become a crow's mouth!" ”

"You're a crow's mouth! Show it to the slaves. Xin'er took the military report from Li Yu's hand and looked at it: "It's not bad, it's just trapped in the city, and it has won a big victory in the city in China." It's just that if you don't give them reinforcements, the Goguryeo people won't be able to defend it, and it will be quite difficult to break the city, and if you don't do it well, you will be defeated. For example, Wang Hudu lost more than 1,000 soldiers, and if he was raided by the defenders in Marudu City, this battle would not be good. ”

After reading the military report, Li Yu was a little lacking in interest, and leaned on the rocking chair under the gentle shaking of the maid and said with some regret: "I didn't expect that Gao Yanwu would actually break his wrist and give up all the cities west of Marudu City, and the whole army will defend Marudu and the country, and the strength advantage of the two route armies that are expected to attack the past will be gone." Gao Yanwu, the old boy, also had a bright brain at the critical moment, and concentrated his forces to rely on Erjian City to fight a decisive battle with us. I knew that I would simply take tens of thousands of troops to kill and level the pill capital and the country in minutes. ”

"Then who should be sent to lead the army to reinforcements now?" Xin'er pondered and filtered the generals of the palace and said: "The slave family suggested sending Xue Ne, he is quite clever among the generals, and he can fight well and has the style of his father. ”

Looking at Xin'er's serious appearance, Li Yu, who had a ruddy cherry mouth, wanted to hold her in his arms and take her in his mouth fiercely, and some inappropriate pictures in his mind kept flashing for a while.

"What do you think, Jun Xun?"

"Oh? Very good. Li Yu was distracted, agreed without thinking about it, woke up and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Xue Ne can't do it, he is about to cross the duck water, he is the main striker, and he can't leave at this time." ”

"Doesn't Jun Xun want to wait for the capture of the inner city before going south?" Xin'er was a little surprised.

"It is not a matter for 30,000 troops to be stationed in Daxing and Bozhuo City, and the domestic city has not been attacked as expected, and waiting for Li Shangdan's 9,000 soldiers and horses to return to the army is insignificant to the war. Therefore, I decided that two days later, Xue Ne's army would cross the river first, and capture several cities on the south bank as a bridgehead for attacking Pyongyang. ”

Li Yu dragged out the new plan he had thought of in the past few days, and there were not many defenders in the small cities on the south bank, and the Goguryeo army that might reinforce the domestic cities did not appear from beginning to end. In Pyongyang, Jianmu Cen, An Shun and others were obviously ambitious and talented, and there was no movement at all. The previous battle plan was too conservative, and if you didn't come to fight, then I had to force you to fight.

"Xue Ne is not free, so Jun Xun will give the slave family 3,000 soldiers, and the slave family will lead the troops to reinforce Li Shangdan and them." Xing'er put down the half-eaten osmanthus cake in her hand, looked at Li Yu and said sincerely.

Xin'er, Ling'er, and Mei'er looked at Xing'er with wide eyes and surprise.

Li Yu opened his mouth, and then angrily reprimanded: "You little girl, what are you talking about?" How old are you a little girl, isn't it nonsense for women to lead the way? ”

"Jun Xun, you are a year younger than the slave family, don't you also lead the army, and even go to the battlefield? What's more, the martial arts are not as high as the slave family! Isn't Princess Pingyang also a female general, can't the slave family lead the army like Princess Pingyang? Xing'er was not convinced, and puffed out her cheeks and choked back.

Li Yu's old face was a little unbearable, remembering that he had a sword competition with Xing'er yesterday, but he was knocked off the knife in his hand by one of his swords.

"Xing'er, Jun Xun is different from you, leading the army to the battlefield is not just based on martial arts. No matter what you say, Xun Jun is also the apprentice of Xue Rengui, the Duke of Xingguo and the Duke of Pingyang County, who has learned the art of war since he was a child, and it is not a problem to lead the army. But you're just practicing martial arts, and I haven't seen you read a military book. Princess Pingyang, you are even more incomparable, when people led the army, they all thought that they had become their own children, and the bridge they crossed was longer than the road you walked. ”

"Sister Xin'er is right, Sister Xing'er, although you are strong in martial arts, do you know soldiers? Do you know how to march and set up a formation? ”

"Sister Xing'er, you are not as tall as the shoulders of those soldiers, which one will obey you."

"I ......"

Xin'er persuaded bitterly, and Ling'er and Mei'er's rhetorical questions one by one made the hot-blooded Xing'er's face turn the color of pig liver, and she didn't know how to refute when she opened her mouth.

"Humph!" Apricot jumped up from her chair and ran away with an ugly face.

"This girl, with a little achievement, is proud of the sky." Li Yu shook his head.

"It's not what you're used to." Xin'er reproached.

"This ......" Li Yu smiled bitterly, Xing'er's temper was really related to her own connivance. In private, he has the concept of equality of modern people and treats people peacefully, and he can't treat maids as playthings like those powerful families.
