"The prince is so capable...... Although any dynasty is fought from horseback, the predecessors also said that it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country, and if there is no talent like the prince, where can the Southern Tang Dynasty defend the Chu realm? Even if it can be forcibly captured, it will not be long before someone will rebel. And now the prosperity of Tanzhou makes the people's lives rich, and there is no rebellion, which is the real ability. ”

Li Hongmao was so praised by two sentences that he couldn't find the north, but Tianya said that the head was the Tao, and Li Hongmao was infinitely useful when he heard it, and he felt that although his martial arts were not good, he seemed to be more useful and more contributing than those who were good at martial arts.

Li Hongmao said modestly: "This ...... I'm ashamed and ashamed, I can't endure hardship, so I can only put a little more effort into this. I really envy Master Zongxin, whether it is martial arts to fight, or to govern the country and make money, he is the first in the world, and the most enviable thing is that he is not hard at all, he travels the world with a few peerless beauties, and does everything properly while having fun. This king also hopes to be both civil and military like Master Zongxin, but he can't do it in terms of martial arts. ”

Although Li Hongmao was ashamed, he was very proud when he said this. Tianya wanted to rush up and beat him up when he heard this, but he dared to compare himself with his master with this straw bag? Even if he admitted that he was inferior to Zong Xin, he was insulting his master by comparing himself with Zong Xin.

What is the ability of this straw bale? It is not that Zhao Pu deliberately let the trade route of Yandao pass through Tanzhou, and deliberately let him collect toll taxes, and this location is only between Yandao and Dazhou, so it is reasonable to become an important trading city in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The trade city is naturally prosperous, which is not Li Hongmao's ability at all, but he is a little lucky, and Zhao Pu is willing to give him money to develop Tanzhou. After the development of Tanzhou, the living standards of other places in the Chu realm will also improve accordingly.

Although Li Hongmao has basically done nothing in the past few years, he still thinks that this is his own ability, but the living standards of the people under his jurisdiction have been significantly improved, which can be regarded as a kind of political achievement, and it cannot be said that Li Hongmao has not contributed at all. But this kind of thing can be done by any person, but Li Hongmao just happens to be in this position.

"Dao Chief, just in front of that river fresh restaurant, you must drink two glasses today, my mood has been very depressed for the past two months, and today I suddenly feel Huo Ran cheerful, no wine is not good." ”

Li Hongmao took Tianya to the Huiyuan River Fresh Pavilion in front, and after entering, the guy recognized Li Hongmao at a glance and greeted him warmly.

"Isn't this Li Gongzi? You haven't been here for a long time. ”

Li Hongmao chuckled and said: "Doing business, it is inevitable that things are rushing, the river fresh here wants me to die, according to my usual ones, a few more plates of fried snails, and two jars of flower carving." ”

"Huadiao?" Tianya looked at Li Hongmao depressedly and said, "Don't you want some soju?" ”

"Shochu...... Oh~ No wonder, you're from Weinan, and there is no soju here in Nantang. Li Hongmao said embarrassedly: "This is really helpless, Dugu Valve could have sold some soju to Nantang, but because Dugu Valve's rectifier was destroyed by Shenwu King Yeluzhen, the current Dugu Valve can no longer make soju." Occasionally, some soju would flow into the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the shochu was basically stored as war materials, and the people were not allowed to drink soju. ”

"Oh~ That's it. Shochu is really powerful, not only can it increase heat and strength, but also reduce swelling and relieve pain, whether it is used externally or internally, it is a good thing. As long as a good wine person has drunk soju, he will be bored if he drinks rice wine. Master Zongxin was indeed a genius, and I heard that he revisited the Silk Road and brought back the way of making soju from the Uighurs. ”

"Isn't it a layman? Master Zongxin brought it back from the Uighurs, and the Uighurs don't have a way to make soju at all, he brought it back from Persia. Li Hongmao chuckled and said: "I have more power than you on this matter, because many years ago, there were some soju in our Southern Tang Palace, and the alcohol was too strong, so my father didn't like to drink it." That's what the Persians paid tribute to my father. At that time, I really didn't expect soju to be so useful, and after drinking it, it was far more delicious than rice wine, but I missed the opportunity at that time, otherwise it would be the turn of the Great Zhou to call, we would have beaten it a long time ago, maybe even the Great Zhou would not be established, and the Great Han would be destroyed as early as when Liu Chengyou was in power. ”

Tianya said: "That...... How do you know how Master Soshin brought back from Persia to make soju?"

"This is a rumor in the rivers and lakes, it is rumored that Master Zongxin almost reached the border of Persia, and as a result, he met a Persian merchant, and it was the Persian merchant who told him how to make soju, and then he did not enter Persia but returned to the Central Plains. You really have been with Xiaoyaozi for too long, so you don't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”

Tianya nodded, he really didn't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but ...... When Master got the way to make soju, he was there and helped him complete the initial prototype of the rectifier. Now that Master has retired, he is the only one who can make a distiller today.

Since the rectifier of the Dugu valve was destroyed, there are only two places in the world that can make soju, one is the Great Zhou Palace, the rectifier here has been specially set, as long as someone wants to open the lid to see the structure inside, all the structure of the rectifier will collapse, and then not only can not see the design structure inside, but will destroy Chai Rong's most precious industry.

Chai Rong certainly didn't do it to make money, and all the wine was shipped to the front line as a war resource. Wine is very effective in disinfecting, far more effective than ordinary herbs, and can resist cold, make people less painful, and can also increase one's guts. By drinking a large bowl before the siege, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers skyrocketed.

Chai Rong's protection of the rectifier is very strict, and almost no one other than the brewing staff is allowed to approach the rectifier, including Empress Fu Xuanyi. As long as anything happens to the rectifier, the person in charge will behead the whole family and destroy the nine clans. This is also the reason why no one dares to be careless.

The second rectifier is in the Lei Wang's Mansion, and Tianya is afraid that Lei Hong will not be able to drink soju and go to the palace to grab it, so he also made one in the Lei Wang's Mansion. However, this one is relatively small, and there is no other design, it is an ordinary rectifier, because Tianya believes that Lei Hong's strength will not let the secret of the rectifier leak out.

At this time, the relationship between Lei Hong and Bu Xiangyang has also improved slightly, after all, they are now considered to be in-laws, not to mention that they both admire each other's martial arts, and they are relatively good friends after having this relationship. The Lei Wangfu often sent people to send soju to the alliance leader's mansion, and Bu Xiangyang certainly liked the taste of soju.

In fact, today it is not only Zongxin and the two masters and apprentices who can make rectifiers, but also Bu Xiangyang, and the technology is definitely better than Zongxin and Tianya. Not to mention the pediatric rectifier, Bu Xiangyang can even make thermal weapons, and definitely not only pistols and bullets, he can even make bombs.

There is still a big difference between Bu Xiangyang and Zong Xin, Zong Xin was directly sent over when he was not too old, so the knowledge in Zong Xin's head is very limited. Bu Xiangyang was struck by lightning after becoming an adult, and his soul was accidentally reborn into the future world, and he was a robot when he was reborn in the past.

Bu Xiangyang's brain is like a supercomputer, although he can't connect to the network now, but the information originally stored in his brain is very huge, when the initial Xiangyang's hard disk almost stored most of the world's knowledge, after being reborn back, all this knowledge was not erased in Bu Xiangyang's brain.

Bu Xiangyang also inherited a search engine, although he may not know how to make a rectifier, but as long as he wants to know, he can search in his brain, and then this knowledge will be awakened.

Zong Xin was envious of this, but Bu Xiangyang didn't plan to give the things in his head to others. Zongxin knows how much ability Bu Xiangyang has, he can completely change the history of mankind, as long as he shares the knowledge in his head, human science and technology will progress for more than a thousand years, and when Zongxin returns to the future, what will become of it? Maybe human beings have already started alien colonization plans.

Of course, Zong Xin didn't tell Tianya about this matter, and there were some things that this apprentice couldn't accept. For example, the distiller he made today would already feel very remarkable, if he knew that someone had the knowledge of science and technology beyond time...... I guess I've gone crazy a long time ago.

Tianya is still very confident in the knowledge he has mastered, although he can't tell Li Hongmao directly, but he is very proud in his heart.

"As his name suggests, the family teacher Xiaoyaozi pursues the word Xiaoyao all his life, but he has done nothing in his martial arts, which is also very strange. ”

Li Hongmao said with a smile: "Of course, Xiaoyaozi's predecessors are worldly masters, and of course they are different from the pursuit of secular people like me. Daoist Wuyazi is really lucky, how can he meet a master like Xiaoyaozi's predecessor as a master?"

"It's not good luck, my father recommended that when I was 8 years old, my father directly threw the poor road to the master, and my father didn't care about it for so many years...... Now that my father has gone west, I am fortunate to have one last sight before he dies. However, the relationship between the father and the teacher is not bad, and it can be regarded as a year-old friend. ”

"Oh~~ Come and drink. Li Hongmao took the initiative to persuade wine, although the wine power of rice wine is far less than that of soju, but there are also people who prefer it, the taste of Huadiao is not bad, and there is some faint sweetness, which is a good drink.

The guy also brought up a few dishes, fried loach, steamed fish, steamed crab, and of course, fried snails recommended by Li Hongmao.

"Poor Dao first toasts the prince. ”

"Be quiet, no one here knows that I am the prince, let's not have any etiquette, just drink happily. "Although Li Hongmao is not smart, he is very good at being a man, because Li Hongji is not around, he doesn't know who to play with, and now there is a strong martial arts person around him, Li Hongji of course hopes to have a playmate, he will not treat Tianya as a subordinate.

Although Li Hongmao thinks that his status is much higher than that of a little Taoist, the other party is a rare martial arts master, and he is young. Maybe the future achievements will be extraordinary, this is a potential stock, so becoming a good brother with him is also very good for his future.

In fact, Li Hongmao rarely thinks about what will happen in the future, but this kind of person with strong martial arts must be as close as possible, not to mention that he has to rely on others to survive now. Not to mention protecting yourself for half a year, just those few hits just now are worth a thousand taels of gold.
