Chapter 142: The First Village in the North

While the five realm ministers were busy dealing with the imperial envoy of the emperor, Ao Zongheng had just gotten up.

It seems that since he left the city of Sasaramara, the capital of the king of Lorenmagaga, he has not slept in a decent hotel for a long time. He drove the badger far away, disguised himself as a businessman, and visited the famous wineries of the ancestral realm along the way, this visit was unbelievable, the spirits of the northern land were surprisingly to his taste, he was drunk all the way, and had a lot of fun for several days, and last night he stayed at one of the best hotels in this Pu Rinpo, in order to visit the legendary first winery in the north - Maugenburg Winery today. This was also the last stop of his northward journey, and after drinking the wine of the Maugenburg winery, he headed south and returned to Geng Laoyuan.

In most parts of the world of Proz, wine is the main drink of human beings, and the amount of alcohol consumed in a year is about too much more than drinking water, and in some places, there may be more alcohol than water, and the demand for natural supply is also large. However, due to taste, circulation and transportation, there are only a few wineries that can spread their fame throughout Sakai, and those that can spread to Sakai outside the territory can be called the top, and the one who dares to openly call the first place is the only one. In fact, everyone thinks that if it weren't for the fact that the rest of the empire is not very accepting of the spirits of the north, this title is afraid that it will not be the first in the north, but the first in the empire.

Whether the production of Magenburg Winery is the absolute first in the north, maybe there are still people who are not convinced in private, and they have to look at the year, but the first "famous" winery is indisputable. Because this was given the royal seal by the emperor of the previous generation.

Many outsiders, especially those from the south and west, first heard of the title of the first estate, and thought that the Château Maugenburg had been given its name because the ancestors of the Emperor Chalin were fond of this wine. Actually, there's a much more legendary story in it.

When the empire lasted for nearly 300 years in the past 200 years, the empire at that time still only retained the extent of three realms, and it was more than enough to preserve itself, and it was not enterprising enough. At that time, the brake (the name of the country at that time was still the country of Bogar, and the lord of the country was called the brake), which was always in person.

This has been in person, the reign is not long, as can also be said to be ineffective, can even be said to be mediocre, the only hobby and specialty is painting, is recognized as the best painting skills in the past dynasties, so when he was alive, he was given the title of the king of painters, being a painter is certainly not a bad thing for ordinary people, but it is a little ironic for the king of a country. But then everyone found out that this person who has always been in person has a great ability - to give birth to children.

There are only two adult sons: the eldest son Le Genbai, and the concubine Xiangfu. The difference between the two people's backgrounds is so obvious, according to the etiquette law, the truth must fall on Legan's white head. However, to everyone's surprise, Legenbai has always refused the title of Rindi - he begged his father to give the title of Rindi to his younger brother, because his love of wine and drinking is far better than that of Dang Rin, and his brother's ability and character will become second only to the founding father.

Of course, this reason is not very good, it can be said to be ridiculous, and he has always refused his son's request in person, but it has also suspended the title of Jie Di - he is too disappointed in Legenbai's performance.

Unexpectedly, Legan Bai was really determined not to be a winemaker, not only opened a small winery near the national capital, but also planted and picked it himself, and he did not have the consciousness of becoming the king of a country at all, but was full of like a cultivator winemaker.

Legenbai's actions were not only visible in person, but also by ministers and citizens, and no one thought that this "quasi-truth" would become a qualified one. So a bottom-up public opinion arose in the national capital, and even spread beyond the national capital—everyone thought that we already had a painter king, should we have another winemaking king? The aristocratic ministers were particularly worried, they feared that the arrival of Legan Bai would endanger the people's confidence in the rule of the entire royal family.

At that time, the brake was not like today's Emperor Brake, who had absolutely unrivaled power, and in the face of discussions from the court to the people, especially the worries expressed by the close ministers, and he was too disappointed in his eldest son, he finally decided to seal the concubine and the son of the concubine. In this way, Legenbai, who was destined to be an imminent man at birth, gave the throne to his cousin with his own hands.

The story is not over here, on the contrary, the real excitement is still to come.

Less than three years after the sealing of the Truth, he returned to God in person, and succeeded to the throne.

No one could have foreseen that this Bodhisattva would become the lord of unprecedented conquest and make the Bolgar Empire become the Empire of the Great-Bolgar Empire - during his reign, the territory of the Empire of the Great-Popgar Empire increased tenfold, and even the current imperial capital, Polon Taisha, was also occupied by this Puppet.

I don't know if it's because Legan Bai's eyes knew it early, or if there was another reason, this Xiangfu Brake has really become a great Brake Shrine whose reputation is second only to the founding ancestors.

If it weren't for Legenbai's resignation to make way for Xian, there would have been no great achievements in the future, and you can imagine how grateful he would have been to his brother.

Unfortunately, Regenbai, who had resigned from the throne, became the great winemaker he had hoped for, but he fell ill and died before the triumphant return of the first expedition.

Not being able to report the good news to his brother in person is the biggest regret of his life.

He did three things to thank his brother for his accomplishments.

1. The state funeral of Legen Bai with the rite of the brake, and in the genealogy of the past dynasties, the elder brother was added between himself and his father, and the title of Xiuren was the king, and after he himself called the emperor, he was posthumously called the god Xu Chalin Xiuren Emperor.

Second, he built a castle in the southeast of the national capital, and gave it to his nephew with a large piece of land nearby, as an eternal fief of their family, and also the foundation of his family's winery.

3. He presented his nephew with a tall shield, on which in addition to the coat of arms of the Grand Bogar Empire, there was also a sentence signed by himself - the first winery that has always made the best spirits of the Grand Bogall Empire.

This is the origin of Château Maugenburg and the title of the first estate in the north.

By the way, there is a little bit of an end, the one who has always been in person, because he gave birth to such two brothers and virtuous sons, after being proclaimed emperor by the ministers, he was posthumously promoted by the ministers and officials as the god Xu Sha Linsheng Emperor.

Fort Maugen was both tall and large, up to fifty whips, covering an area of about 60,000 or 70,000 gu (a common unit of area in the north-central part of the empire, the area of one whip long and one whip in the vertical and horizontal directions is one gu, and the converted size of the middle earth is a little larger than half a millimeter), and the moss-mottled gray-white wall tiles can be seen from a distance.

Fort Maurgen was neither an imperial fort nor a place for soldiers, so it was not built in a mountainous area, but a flat bunker located in a large area of fertile land. There are no high walls outside the castle, no arrow towers on the top, no moats under the moat, as long as the castle is open, outsiders can easily enter and exit the castle and explore some places inside.

However, today's situation is obviously a bit abnormal - a Maugan Fort is actually surrounded by neatly draped Imperial sergeants.

Of course, the Imperial Sergeants did not come to attack here, looking at their guard facing outward, patrolling around in groups of three or two, dozens of groups, as if they were guarding the castle.

A winery, no matter how expensive it is and how famous it is, it is impossible to be worthy of such heavy guarding. The only reason is that there are important people in the winery today.

Which of the realm ministers is coming? The pomp is so big, much more than that of the good man in Zario Sakai.

Ao Zongheng thought so, but he didn't stop the trench car, he came here, how could he give up easily, anyway, he was dressed as a businessman, wouldn't it be normal to come to the winery to buy wine, even if those sergeants checked, he was confident that he would not show any flaws.

Naturally, the vigilant sergeant also saw the arrogance - the ordinary people near the castle were either scared away or driven away, and there was such a lonely trench car in the snow.

"Stop, then!" the closest group of patrol sergeants shouted first, and soon three more groups of sergeants came and blocked the front and rear of the cart.

"What do you do?" the sergeant who spoke first asked Ao.

He didn't ask who else was in the car, because his companion had already lifted the cloth himself to check it.

"I'm a merchant, and I'm here to buy wine. Ao Zongheng kept a heart and replied in Duoduo Manchu.

The sergeant who was questioned was obviously a native of the Booue tribe in Zupol, and spoke the Powala language, which evolved from the ancient Booue language, which was slightly different from the ancient language in grammatical details, and was "optimized" to facilitate the administrative regions of the empire that operated other language families and could be translated and understood more accurately. Although there are many people who can understand this kind of language, almost only the natives of the ancestral realm can speak it. Arrogant looks like a "non-native", and if he subconsciously answers with Powala, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of these soldiers.

In fact, if he said this to the connoisseur, no matter how seamless the accent is, he will immediately be "recognized", thinking that the wine of the South Flakasa Winery has been booked eight or nine times out of ten before it has been officially shipped, and the reservation situation of the first place in the north can be poor? And at this time, it is already past the season of wine, how can there be a businessman who does not know how to come to the door to buy? Now those who come to the winery to buy wine, if it is not a noble status, can buy one or two bottles is very good, it still depends on your sincerity in coming to the door in winter, take care of it and don't let you go back empty-handed.

However, most of the soldiers' thinking was relatively simple and direct, they understood when drinking, but they didn't understand when buying wine, and they only felt that it was very reasonable for the merchants to come to the winery to buy wine, so they no longer interrogated, but waved their hands and said: "Go back, come back another day, today the winery is closed, no business." ”

When he heard him say this, he smiled and turned the car around to catch up.

These imperial sergeants only listen to orders and do not listen to reason, since they say that they are closed, they are arrogant and too lazy to bother to speak.

The cart went to a distance beyond the sergeant's sight, and Ao Zongheng got out of the cart, tied the cart to a small forest, and headed back to Fort Maogen.

Of course, he didn't plan to give up the good wine of this first place, others are unreasonable, and he has his own unreasonable methods.
