Chapter 134: The scriptures are slightly square
No one asked him how he could avoid the checkpoints in Yuan Shao's territory, nor did anyone ask him to go to Montenegro to face the comfort of 100,000 thieves, and the safety of the Marquis of Youbei Ping, who was Xuanhe, seemed to be worthless in the eyes of everyone, even Cao Cao did not give him any help.

Cao Pi knew that even if Gongsun Xu could successfully recruit Zhang Yan and make great contributions to Cao Cao's pacification of the north, there would be no possibility of commanding the troops afterwards, at most, he would be crowned and promoted, and for those generals who were not reused at the beginning, Cao Cao would not entrust him with important tasks, because he was afraid that the other party would remember Cao Jun's neglect of him at the beginning.
Fortunately, Gongsun Xu only wanted to avenge his father, and Yuan Shao's defeat was already the greatest comfort to him, and when he got his revenge, it was not so important whether he could command the army alone. At present, this is a win-win situation for Gongsun Xu and Cao Jun.
Not long after Gongsun Xu left, Cao Cao came with good news from Runan, Liu Bei had been defeated and disappeared, as for the Yuan family's henchmen in Runan had been swept away, Runan Taishou Li Tong began to set up Tian officials in the local area, ready to start Tuntian, next year, Tiqi will bless a new place.
It seems that he felt Cao Pi's lack of manpower, and when Cao Cao returned to Xudu, he brought fifty manor children from his hometown ~ county, these people were either surnamed Cao or Xiahou, but Cao Pi knew that these people were not related to him, and almost all of them were descendants of the tenants of the manor. The quality of this group of people is incomparable with the one hundred and fifty people of the Cao family, Xiahou family, and Wei family before, almost illiterate, and they have to be taught from scratch in marching formations, but fortunately, now Xiahou Ba and Cao Zhen have established WeChat, plus Wei Zhen's assistance, it is not difficult to train these newcomers, not to mention that these children of manor tenants cherish the opportunity to become Tiqi and climb to the sky, and they work extremely hard to practice.
Cao Pi ignored these trivial matters of training, but took Dianman to Xiahou Yuan to give him Yanling Manor, because these manors rely on water, and can install water drainage and blower devices, which means that they can make blacksmiths, and now a few smart blacksmiths are looking at a bucket-like thing drawn by Cao Pi on Zuo Bo's paper.
"This thing is called the steamed wine retort barrel, divided into three parts, the pot with water below is called the ground pot, the middle wooden charging part is called the retort, the top pot is called the heavenly pot, the lower waist of the heavenly pot is with a hole, each hole is a large, covered with the bottom of the pot, the retort is divided into two parts, the upper can hold the water can be placed, the ground pot can also hold water, the size is ....." Cao Pi patiently explained, these blacksmiths carefully recorded, and then found a carpenter, discussed and began to make.
Cao Pi kept staring, this staring was ten days, I don't know how many steamed wine retort barrels were made, and it was only on the tenth day that Cao Pi was satisfied, and then he blacksmithed twenty of them, and let the pawn man distribute them evenly among the manors planted with corn. Dianman was already accustomed to Cao Pi's whims, and he didn't plan to ask at all, but Cao Pi took the initiative to tell him the usage of this thing.
"The sake lees and liquor industry brewed in the koji are separated from the top and bottom of the retort, the ground pot holds water, and then the fire is heated, then the lees and the liquor will rise in the retort, and then add the well water Rutian pot condensation, and open the wine above the retort to introduce the wine, this kind of wine is called shochu, the water in the heavenly pot is less wine is easy to get drunk, and the water is more sweet... It's a little more flavorful than jasmine wine. ”
"Dare to ask Childe, how easy is this wine to get drunk?"
"Try it yourself." Cao Pi would not tell him that the degree of this kind of early wine can reach 60 degrees, which is sour and refreshing, which the Han people have never tasted.
"Is Childe going to make all the corn into this wine?"
"Exactly, and then I asked the Chen family to open a wine shop in Xudu, and only sold this kind of wine." Cao Pi said.
"I wonder if this wine has a name?"
“... Burn the knife. ”
“.... So fierce? ”
"Try it and you'll find out."
Cao Pi returned to Xudu, Dianman stayed in a manor where this corn was planted, in September, Cao Cao led his troops back to Xudu, Cao Pi immediately offered horseshoes, stirrups, and saddles with three things, when Cao Cao took a set and handed it to Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Chun used it and immediately said: "With these three things, I can sweep away Beihu." ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the production of large quantities of military tun, Cao Jun's territory after two years of increased production, the economic situation is very good, plus there is a large number of equipment in Yuan Shao's army, many weapons have been used to make horse harness, and at the same time thousands of war horses collected from Yuan Shao, half of them were taken to the horse farm to make stallions, and half were left in the army, ready to be used to expand the tiger and leopard horse, Guo Jia took a loophole to tell Cao Pi that Cao Jun's tiger and leopard horse will be expanded to three thousand horses, which is already a very terrifying force.
For Cao Pi who offered the horse harness, Cao Cao once again expressed his appreciation, but he did not show the merits of the imperial court, obviously this kind of cavalry killing weapon Cao Cao does not intend to let others know so early, although this matter will not be hidden sooner or later, but if you can hide it for a while, the greater the benefits you will get from this thing.
There is no table on the court, there is no reward without a table, Cao Cao generously rewarded Cao Pi with two hundred tires to ride the corresponding horse harness, and at the same time rewarded Cao Pi with three beautiful maids, I heard that it was carefully selected from the camp prostitutes captured from Yuan Shao's military camp, Cao Pi generously rewarded Gao Shun with two, and purchased a house in Xu to let Gao Shun move out to live, Gao Shun was moved by this for a while, and there was still one Cao Pi who was given to Chen Sanlang, who worked hard for himself, and the other party was naturally grateful.
After doing all this, Cao Pi personally went to the farmland near Xiannongtan to direct the people to harvest the seeds he had deliberately cultivated, and placed them in a separate barn, and when he returned to Xu Du, he saw Dianman, this guy was blushing and burping under a big tree in the yard, and saw Cao Pi barely getting up, and said, "Childe... Uh~~~Little servant~~ Eh, I tried that wine, it's really... Forehead... Enough strength~~~ This is going to be sold, and the entire Xu Du~~E~ people can't stand up. ”
Cao Pi got off the horse, opened the pawn man's eyelids and looked at it, to make sure that he was not to the level of alcohol poisoning, and then asked his subordinates to take him to the kitchen, poured a large amount of well water on him, and let him spit out all the wine he drank today, and after the pawn was sober, Cao Pi said: "This wine hurts the body, it is better to drink less, and I don't plan to sell too much in Xudu, I want to sell it to Jingzhou through the Chen family..."
Dianman shook his head and said a little ashamedly: "This wine is strong, but but... Hey, it's flavorful. I don't know what price Childe wants to sell. ”
"Seventy percent of wine."
"So expensive?"
"That's right, and only ten jars a day. The rest was sold to the Chen family at half price. ”
"The Chen family is willing?"
"I can't ask for it."
