After a few days, Qinghe County Zunliu Zonglin instructed the craftsman to rush to make the memorial arch was finally completed, the memorial arch of "champion and first" stood at the entrance of the village of Wujia Village, the memorial arch of "one door and two jinshi" stood at the entrance of the village of Jinzhuang, when it was completed, it was blowing and blowing and beating lively, the people around were alarmed, and the whole Qinghe County was well-known, everyone knew it.

In mid-to-late April, the letters of appointment from the imperial court were also sent to Enzhou. Wu Zhi was awarded to Shilang, the official deleted by the imperial decree, the Beijing official, and the eight products; Pan Wei was awarded the Chenglang and Yanggu County, Zhiyun Prefecture, and was appointed as an official from the eighth grade.

Pan Zhai and the samurai family got the good news respectively, and they celebrated lively.

On the 22nd day of the first month of April, when the bauhinia flowers were blooming brightly, the weather was warm at first, and it was transferred through the Yamen of Enzhou Zhizhou, Wu Zhi and Feng Niang finally received a letter from Wu Zhi, saying that they should move back to the capital immediately, Xiao'e and Wu Zhi needed them and so on, and they were sincere. The two of them were happy and tearful when they saw it, and they were still a little embarrassed in their hearts. It is difficult to leave their homeland, after all, the village of the samurai family is where they have lived for decades, and now they must be difficult to part with if they want to stay away from their homeland.

The next day, Pan Weijun and the housekeeper came to visit early. It turned out that the Pan family also received a letter from Wu Zhi, so Mr. Pan quickly cut through the mess, and hurriedly ordered his youngest son and the housekeeper to come over and discuss with Wu Xiu and Feng Niang what to do. The Pan family attaches great importance to the marriage of Wu Zhi and Jin Lian, and they never want to miss a fast son-in-law like Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi is now in the capital, and it is obviously unrealistic to return to Qinghe County to get married, so he can only be in a hurry and everything is simple. After discussion, the two sides exchanged the eight characters of the birthday, and after Wu Xiu and Feng Niang personally went to Pan's house to decide, Pan Lao announced the marriage of Wu Zhi and Jin Lian in front of all relatives and friends, and the rest waited for Jin Lian to return to the capital.

After agreeing on a date to return to the capital, Wu Xiu and Feng Niang hurriedly rushed home to prepare. There were too many things to pack, and the two of them could only pack up some commonly used items and clothes, fine and soft gold and silver, and sold many gifts, as well as the ancestral tablets of the samurai family, and the remaining various items could only be distributed to the neighbors in the village one by one, and the villagers were also reluctant when they were grateful.

Three days later, it was time for Wu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian to return to the capital. Wu Xiu and Feng Niang loaded their luggage into the ox cart, locked the door of the house and the courtyard door, and drove the ox cart to the golden village in reluctance. Everyone in the village stood on the side of the road to see them off, and Wu Xiu and Feng Niang also waved goodbye to them one by one, feeling very reluctant, it was really hard to leave their homeland!

When I drove to the front of the Pan Mansion in the Golden Village, I saw a busy scene in front of the Pan Mansion, and the housekeeper of the Pan Mansion commanded all the families to go in and out, carrying large and small boxes to the two ox carts, many of which were dowries. Jin Lian was talking to her grandmother Qin outside the old man Pan, surrounded by a group of people, Pan Weimin and Pan Weijun were both there, Pan Yang and Pan Jie were also standing next to them obediently, Jin Lian's mother Tang was quietly wiping her tears while looking at Jin Lian, she was really reluctant to let her daughter go far away!

Seeing Wu Xiu and Feng Niang getting out of the car and coming over, except for the old man and the Qin family, everyone greeted them warmly, shushing the cold and asking for warmth. This is the elder of the champion father, or Jin Lian's future father-in-law and mother-in-law, they don't dare to slack off. Wu Xiu and Feng Niang met Pan Laoyuanwai and Grandma Qin one by one, and after saluting, they had a cordial conversation with Pan Weimin and Pan Weijun and his wife.

After noon, after packing up, it was finally time to separate. The sorrow of parting suddenly came to everyone's hearts. Jin Lian bit her lip tightly, controlled herself not to cry, bowed to everyone one by one, and then hugged her grandmother Qin and mother Tang, she smiled and comforted her tearful mother, and then walked to the ox cart ruthlessly, after getting into the car, the group slowly left the golden village in reluctance, and headed towards the Weihe Wharf in Enzhou, they planned to take a boat back to the capital. Pan Weimin, Pan Zhai Steward and others also followed to the dock, and some things still needed to be taken care of by them.

Five ox wagons and a group of fourteen people came to the Enzhou wharf, and the connected passenger ship had been moored at the wharf for a long time. A group of officials from Enzhou Mansion also came.

Seeing the arrival of the convoy, when Lord Zhizhou and everyone got out of the car, the officials hurriedly surrounded and helped move the luggage to the passenger ship.

Coincidentally, the passenger ship they contacted happened to be the passenger ship that sent Wu Zhi and Pan Wei to Beijing last time, and they were familiar with the way. For safety, Pan Weimin chartered the entire boat, and the boatman was also happy.

After all the luggage was loaded onto the ship, Wu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian took the little maid Liu Yue onto the boat. After the butler's instructions, an old mother and two sturdy men also followed on the boat. They are a mother and son family, the old man has been dead for many years, the two men are brothers, one is called Chen Dahu, twenty-two years old, the other is called Chen Erhu, twenty years old, both of them can do kung fu, they are also very honest, and the old mother's surname is Feng. Their family has lived in the Pan family for decades and is loyal to the Pan family, so Pan Lao sent them to follow Jin Lian to Beijing, so that they could take care of them on the road, and at the same time, after arriving in Beijing, they followed Jin Lian and took care of Jin Lian's daily life. But Pan Weimin was still not very relieved, so he sent two more capable officials, who also followed the boat and escorted Jin Lian and them to Beijing. A few ox carts were brought back to the Pan family's old house in the Golden Village.

The ship started slowly, set sail, and in this way, a group of nine people, in the farewell of others, embarked on the journey back to the capital. Standing on the bow of the boat, Wu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian's hearts could not be calm for a long time, looking at the Enzhou pier and the crowd that were gradually moving away, the three of them were both happy and sad in their hearts.

The words are divided into two ends.

The next day, Wu Zhi handed over the two letters to the post post to send to Enzhou on his behalf, and then returned to the deletion office to continue working. He has an official tooth card, so it is very convenient to send letters, not to mention that he also stuffed five coins of silver to the post man. After getting the broken silver, the post man smiled, and he would definitely send Wu Zhi's letter to Enzhou as soon as possible.

In the days of waiting for Wu Xiu and Feng Niang to return to the capital, Wu Zhi was not idle, in addition to being on duty at work, he also had to think about how to make money in business while meditating and practicing boxing.

Later, as Wu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian moved to the capital, there will be more and more people after he gets married, and it will not be possible to live by renting a house when the time comes, he needs to buy a house in Bianliang, the capital, and he wants to buy a big house. Nowadays, the housing prices in the capital are ridiculously high, and he will never be able to buy a house with his money alone, so he needs to open up financial resources and run a business.

So far, Wu Zhi has produced more than 600 catties of spirits of about 38 degrees and more than 300 catties of high spirits of about 50 degrees, and he feels that the liquor business can be implemented!

First of all, Wu Zhi inquired and wandered around the capital through the tooth shop, and found that there were indeed some wineries that were not well managed or needed to be subleased for other reasons, and were looking for a next home.

So, Wu Zhi set up a osmanthus wine shop near the Gongyuan, the original owner was a couple over fifty years old, the man's name was Zhang Gui, the woman's surname was Hu Ming Erniang, because their two daughters were married, the wine shop was not manpowered, the couple could not take care of it, so they had to endure the pain and cut their love, subleased out, and the ten-year lease period was more than five years.

Wu Zhi likes that the equipment in the winery is relatively complete, there is an official liquor sales license, the procedures are complete, and the taste of the liquor made by the couple is still very good. The wine he used to distill could not be too inferior, and the wine that was too inferior could not be blended into good wine. Wu Zhi needs to reduce production costs, so he needs to have his own distillery to brew qualified low-alcohol liquor, so as to ensure the source and quality of the raw materials used to distill alcohol, and at the same time reduce costs!

Wu Zhi spent fifty pieces of broken silver to take over the Osmanthus Wine Workshop, and at the same time saw that the couple had no land to go to after subletting, and he was also in need of manpower, so he hired two people with a high salary to help him make wine in the wine shop and show him the shop. When Zhang Gui and Erniang were worried about where to go, when they heard that Wu Zhi was going to hire them with a high salary and let them live in the winery, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked them again and again.

After solving the source of raw materials for the distilled spirits, Wu Zhi began to implement the second step, which was to prepare for bottling and packaging.

The next day, after Wu Zhi came to the deletion office early to sign in, he asked Liu Zhi, the official of Xiangding, for a leave, anyway, there was nothing important to do in the deletion office, Liu Zhi readily agreed to his request and granted him leave.

After taking a good leave, he walked out of the Zuoye Gate, Wu Zhi hired an ox cart and rushed to the outside of Dongcheng, where he wanted to go to the porcelain workshop outside Dongcheng to customize a batch of special wine bottles.

There are several colored porcelain workshops outside the eastern city, and there are also official kilns, Wu Zhi found a large-scale Wujia colored porcelain workshop (he can't afford to hire the official kiln), and showed the two drawings he designed and drew to the owner Wu Gang. Wu Gang and the porcelain masters were very curious about the drawings he painted, and after careful reading, they said that they could make it after everyone scrutinized and studied, and Wu Zhi was greatly relieved, made a deposit, and handed over the work to the workshop to do. He customized six hundred sets in one go, each set of two hundred wen, the price of the custom is much more expensive than the one sold outside, Wu Gang was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he repeatedly said that he would make it for him as soon as possible.

Wuzhi's customized wine bottle is designed with reference to the style of the wine bottle of later generations, one is designed in accordance with the style of the wine bottle of the Elite Rouya series of wine, the upper width is narrow at the bottom, the waist is cinched in the middle, the flat bottom, the sky blue background color, the upper edge is carved, and the middle is vertically painted with three lines of grass characters, and the lower corner of the word "alcohol" is written horizontally with the words "38 degrees and a catty", and the six lines of the words "produced by Osmanthus Wine Workshop" are written horizontally in the center of the bottom foot, and the three words of "Zhuangyuan alcohol" are required to be burned red, and the other words are burned into white. The other is to design according to the style of Lang Liquor Qinghualang's wine bottle, but he changed a little, changed the round bottle to a six-sided exquisite blue vase, carved on five sides, one side left pure blue, and the pure color surface was vertically painted in the middle of the slightly upper part of the "Zhuangyuan Lang" three lines of grass characters, and then wrote "Fifty degrees of a catty" in the middle of the line, and then down in the middle of the foot also wrote "Osmanthus Wine Workshop" six lines of letters, the font is required to be burned to golden yellow. Both bottles are equipped with caps to form a set.

Wu Zhi wants to make his high-end liquor into the most high-end liquor, take the high-end route, and make money from officials and nobles.

After customizing the wine bottle, Wu Zhi returned to the city, came to the Osmanthus Wine Workshop, and asked about the cost of making a batch of 1,000 catties of low-alcohol liquor, such as food, koji, fuel, etc., Wu Zhi handed over the required funds to Zhang Gui together with a month's salary for the two of them, and he went to purchase and be responsible for brewing according to the previous channels.

Wu Zhi needed to ensure that there was no shortage of raw liquor used to distill alcohol, and that the quality should be guaranteed, so he asked Zhang Gui to brew a batch of 1,000 catties of low-alcohol liquor at least every seven days. If there are not enough people, he will increase the number of people as appropriate, hire some craftsmen who can make wine, and maintain the status quo for now.

On the first day of the fifth month, when the court meeting, Zhao Xu sent Yang Jian to summon Wu Zhi to participate in the early dynasty and participate in the discussion of how to increase the annual income of the imperial court.

Everyone still had a strange feeling about him, an alternative eight-rank petty official, participating in the court meeting, and watching Wu Zhi enter the main hall, his emotions were inexplicable.

Wu Zhi stood quietly at the back of the team, watching coldly, Zhao Xu didn't say anything without asking, and watched and listened like a play.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Xu left Wu Zhi behind. In the imperial study of the Vertical Arch Palace, Zhao Xu seemed to be in a good mood, and he asked Wu Zhi some questions about meditation and boxing.

It can be seen that after more than 20 days of meditation and boxing, Zhao Xu's mental state has improved a lot, and his strength has recovered a lot. Through exercise, Zhao Xu saw the hope of strengthening his body and prolonging his life, so he was quite happy in his heart, so he remembered Wu Zhi, and calling him to participate in the early dynasty was just an excuse, in fact, he wanted to further discuss the secret of fitness and strength with Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi was also happy to see that Zhao Xu's spirit had improved slightly, so he asked him to meditate for a round, corrected some wrong movements in his meditation in time, and demonstrated some key movements to him. After discussing meditation and resting, Wu Zhi asked Zhao Xu to practice his boxing again, corrected some of his movements in time, and informed him of the correct movement essentials. Zhao Xu asked shamelessly, and followed Wu Zhi's instructions, feeling that his martial arts had improved a little more.

When Wu Zhi said goodbye, Zhao Xulong was delighted and rewarded him with a set of official robes, a regular script of the "Huang Ting Jing" written by Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and a hundred taels of silver. Wu Zhi bowed in thanks, held the gift in both hands, and slowly left the palace under Hao Sui's envious gaze.

Wu Zhi is also happy in his heart, if there is a reward every day, it would be great!

One hundred taels of silver, and filled his depleting capital chain, and he could maintain it for a while.
