Troubled Times Open Chapter 52 Ghosts Return to the Heart (Ask for Collection)
Aside from the limitations of the times, in fact, the wisdom of the ancients is not lower than that of modern people, after being taught by Lu An, within a few days, Sun Shao hurriedly came back to his life, with a lot of joy on his face.
"Lord, it's done!" When Sun Shao said this, his face was filled with irrepressible excitement.
"Hmmm! Is it good to classify those wines? Lu An bowed slightly and asked.
"According to the lord's previous instructions, Xiaguan divided these wines into three grades, one is slightly refined and slightly lower purity wine, the other is medium purity wine that has been refined several times, and finally it is high-purity wine that has been refined many times, in addition, Xiaguan has sent people to pick grapes, I believe that the wine ordered by the lord to brew should also come out soon."
"Very good, you first send me twenty jars of each of the three grades of wine, and then continue to brew non-stop, but in terms of safety, you must pay attention to the fact that this wine and green salt are the cornerstones of our Wuling County's strength!" Now it must not be leaked! Lu An nodded his finger lightly and commanded.
"General Jiang Qin has been sending heavy troops to guard it, and the city gate has not been relaxed, as long as the families of those craftsmen want to leave the city, they will all be intercepted!" Sun Shao replied respectfully.
"Hmmm! Don't be disgraced to those craftsmen, and the monthly food and the lives of their families must be taken care of! Lu An instructed.
"The lower officials know!"
After Sun Shao retreated, he quickly sent the sixty jars of wine that Lu An wanted, and Lu An did not hesitate and sent it directly to someone's house in person.
"Taishou-sama!" Guo Jia looked at Lu An, who came to the door in person, and was a little surprised.
"I said I was going to surprise you last time, and now I'm sending it to you!" Lu An walked in with a smile and spoke.
"Oh? What is it? Guo Jia also showed a faint smile and asked.
"This is it!" Lu An lifted the red cloth behind him, revealing jars of wine, which reflected a ray of light under the white sun.
"Wine?"
"This is no ordinary wine!" Lu An opened one of the jars of wine, and immediately a rich aroma of wine wafted out.
"Silk!" As an old drunkard for many years, Guo Jia quickly felt the unusual thing about this wine, and kept sniffing it with his nose, a little intoxicated.
"Come on, try it!" Lu An didn't know where to take out a small glass, took a glass from the wine jar, and handed it to Guo Jia.
"Hey, hey! Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate! Guo Jia laughed and quickly poured it into his mouth.
"How?" Lu An asked.
"The aroma is intoxicating, the entrance is long, and the aftertaste is endless!" Guo Jia said with half-squinted eyes. It seems that he is still a little intoxicated by fine wine.
"This is only the most basic version, you can try both of them!" Lu An poured him a small glass of the other two purer wines one by one.
Guo Jia was also not polite, tasted the past one by one, and after tasting it for a while, he highlighted a long breath and said: "It seems that this time I really got on the thief ship, dare to ask Lord Taishou?" If I don't know how to lift at this time, will I still be able to drink this wine in the future? ”
"What do you say?" Lu An just laughed and didn't speak.
"See the lord!" Guo Jia didn't say anything more, and directly saluted.
"Hahahahahaha, my Zhang Liang has finally returned to his heart, it seems that these wines have really not wasted my efforts!" Lu An smiled, the ghost genius Guo Fengxiao finally officially entered his camp today, and will become his right-hand man to advise him in the future.
"I don't dare to compare with the Hou! However, the lord is not a little stronger than Liu Bang! Guo Jia smiled.
"Huh! You don't have to do it in front of me! Lu An patted him on the shoulder, a little ridiculous at his ass.
"Are these wines also made by the secret method of the lord?" Guo Jia's eyes swept over these wine jars and asked.
"Naturally, this surprise is big enough!" Lu An smiled lightly.
"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I've already fallen into the trap of the lord, if I still don't serve the lord this time, the lord will have other ways to seduce me!" Guo Jia sighed and said.
"Hey, I can't say that, it's just to work hard to get a talent I value the most!" Lu An chuckled, he really thought so, for this kind of wise strategist, in addition to doing what he likes, in fact, the most important thing to do is to let them see their own potential, and feel that they are not in the pool, so that they will be recognized, for example, this wine, is Guo Jia really serving himself because of his good wine? Obviously not, more importantly, he saw the business opportunities in these wines again, coupled with the green salt last time, which made him recognize his potential and feel that he could achieve a great career, so he did not hesitate to go along.
"Hahahaha!" The two looked at each other and laughed at each other, all without saying anything.
After the two chatted for a while, Guo Jia asked what he was most concerned about: "Dare to ask the lord, what are your next plans?" ”
"First use green salt and these wines as a monopoly, and after obtaining capital, they will emphasize commerce, light taxes, store grain and grass, accept displaced people, change the land system and military system, train elite soldiers, and finally show their ambitions!" Lu An said slowly. This is a strategy that he had already thought of when he was named Wuling Taishou, and he thought about it for a long time, so there should be no big problem.
"Dare to ask the lord, how to change the field system and the military system?" As Lu An kept saying his plan, Guo Jia's eyes were full of light, and he asked.
"First open the tuntian system, these days I have observed, although our county is relatively poor, but there are not many wealthy families, many people do not have their own land, can only rent the land of those wealthy families as small households, in this case, then we continue to buy official land from them, and then according to the family situation of these people, distribute it to the people to plant, and even promise that as long as their fields have been planted, then in their lifetime they will never take back, so that not only can we get some taxes, The people will also live in abundance. In addition, the officers and men who joined the army can also be allowed to train and help plant some official fields, in short, all available resources must be utilized. Lu An said unhurriedly. This system, in fact, was first implemented by Cao Cao in later generations, and now he is going to use it, but of course he will not be as black as Cao Cao and collect such high taxes.
"What about the military system?" Guo Jia asked.
"Change the military system, this is the next step of development, when we have enough money and food, we will start to carry out the compulsory military system, in addition to recruiting elite soldiers, but also let the young people in the families under the rule of the people carry out one to two years of military training, and after the end of the calculation of some wages for them, in this way, the people should not object, and then we can pick out the best from those compulsory soldiers and become a regular army!" Lu An talked eloquently, preparing to slightly modify the military system of the later generations.
