Chapter 83: The Confession
After the New Year, with an official document from Zhang Shou, the prefect of Liaoxi County, all wine merchants in Liaoxi County were banned, and there was only one wine merchant left in the entire Liaoxi County, and that was the Wu family in Fufeng. Under the coercion and the coercion of swords, spears, swords and halberds, almost overnight, the winemaking of the Wu family filled the entire Liaoxi County, large and small restaurants and restaurants, and in order to prepare such a large amount of goods, the entire Wu family mobilized almost all of them. The manpower did not take a day off during the New Year. Even so, the large amount of wine in reserve was transported to all directions by large and small ox carts within a few days. The Wu family winery expanded by an integer multiple and recruited There are a large number of people, and in the entire Fufeng City, almost every household has people who work in the Wujia Winery.
Contrasted with the fiery business is the huge amount of money income. When you come to Wujia winery to buy wine, there is no problem of first selling and then checking out, because even if you have cash, you may not have wine to sell to you. And such a pure seller's market has also made the price of wine skyrocket, which is a full 10% higher than the pre-estimated income.
In the first month of the high price of Wujia wine, there was a lot of complaints in Liaoxi County, but as time went on, the drinkers found that the price was a little higher, but there was a reason for the high price. The quality of Wu's wine is much better than that of the wine he used to drink. It really can make people forget all the worries and troubles in an instant.
The rich people don't care about the price of the wine, they only care about the quality of the wine. Of course, they can afford the money, and they can buy the wine of the highest quality in the Wu family. In just one month, the Wu family has The wine has established a good reputation, and the high-, middle- and low-grade wines that Gao Yuan built for Wu Kai in advance also met the needs of the market and minimized the resistance of the people. To put it bluntly, the biggest loss is only Just those wine merchants.
Wu Kai is now really living a happy life where he can count the money and get cramps, but after only one month, he has completely lost his sense of the silver money that keeps pouring into his purse. In the storeroom, there are only yellow and bright copper coins, silver taels with white flowers, and gold ingots, which will be disgusting after looking at them for a long time.
However, he is still very happy that the seemingly impossible task of Wujia wine merchants uniting Liaoxi County has been successfully completed under lofty planning. Now Wujia wine has begun to spread to Liaodong, Yuyang, Kaiping and Jicheng. It won't be long before it spreads, and it won't be any problem for the Wu family to make wine all over the world.
When Gao Yuan straddled his horse and entered Fufeng City, it was already sunset. What surprised him was that just as he entered the city gate, he saw Zheng Xiaoyang and a group of about a hundred soldiers shouting numbers and orderly marching from him. He ran in front of him, wearing a blue military uniform, tight leggings, and holding a spear. At first glance, he seemed to be his subordinate.
Zheng Xiaoyang also saw Gao Yuan, stunned for a moment, and ran out of the queue, "Gao Bing Cao, are you okay?"
Gao Yuan got off his horse and clasped his fists in return: "Zheng Bing Cao is good!" He pointed to the queue of soldiers that were gradually moving away, and asked with some doubts: "This is?"
Zheng Xiaoyang laughed, "It's not just me, but even Napa now. The only requirement that Lieutenant Lu Xian gave us full pay is that we must be like Gao Bing Cao's troops, start training and develop a strong army, speaking of which We also have to thank Gao Bingcao, there was no military pay before, we had to beg for food by ourselves, it would be good to be able to eat, then we have the energy to do these things. With Gao Bingcao, Lu Xianwei is also generous, and this year Naha is also very generous. There is no need to go to the villages and towns below to find food, now our two teams are concentrated in the county seat."
When Gao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help feeling relieved, and nodded again and again, "A soldier has to look like a soldier. It's only natural to be a soldier. Gao believes that it will not take long for Zheng Bingcao to train a strong army."
Zheng Xiaoyang laughed, "Thanks to Gao Bing Cao's stimulation, we had a fight a few years ago, and even myself was tied up by Gao Bing Cao's subordinates, and the two troops were not on the same level at all. , How can I not work hard? Gao Bing Cao, these training methods were all copied when I was in the Li military camp, you won't blame me?"
Gao Yuan waved his hands again and again, "Where does this come from? We are allies and brothers, and this is not a great secret. I am also looking forward to Zheng Bingcao, who has trained a team that is stronger than my subordinates. When the army comes, the three of us join forces, maybe one day we will be able to kill the Donghu people's lair and take the head of the Donghu King as a urinal."
Zheng Xiaoyang was terrified and startled. He could not have imagined that Gao Yuan's heart was so wild. Who is King Donghu? He is the lord of a great country who controls 100,000 strings. Other people's opponents. He smiled, just as Gao Yuan told a joke, "I dare not compare with Gao Bing Cao. If he can have half of Gao Bing Cao's subordinates, Zheng will be satisfied. Is Gao Bing Cao coming back to see the county captain?"
Gao Yuan nodded again and again, "Yes, during this time, the Donghu people outside Curie Pass have some changes. I'm a little worried that they will have another raid like last year, so I came back and asked the county magistrate for an idea!"
"It's coming again!" Zheng Xiaoyang shook his head again and again, "This group of turtle grandchildren, once or twice in a row, will not be pulled down again and again, Gao Bingcao, then I will not delay your office affairs, so I will leave."
"Goodbye!" Gao Yuan clasped his fists in exchange, looking at Zheng Yangyang's figure gradually running away, with a smile on his face, not to mention how happy he is, close to Zhu Zhechi, close to Mo Zhemo, this is really not wrong, Gao Yuan will not be because of Zheng Xiaoyang's relationship with Naha became stronger and worried. On the contrary, in a border county like Fufeng, having some strong partners would only make him stronger, because Gao Yuan knew very well that compared to the elephant of the Donghu people, he Really a little ant.
It was the first time when the lights were on, Gao Yuan had something in his mind, so he drove his horse straight to Lu Hong's house, and after finishing his official business, he went home to see Ye Jing'er. Anyway, he came back this time and planned to stay for a day, so he had time to spend time with Ye Jing. Let’s talk about this parting feeling well. I hang out with a large group of old men at Curie Pass every day, and there are a lot of things. This lovesickness can be considered to be hard, and Ye Jing’er’s life must be a little sad. I have nothing to do every day, what else can I do except miss?
Thinking of Ye Jinger's cold, soft little hands, Gao Yuan's heart trembled a little.
"Gao Yuan, why did you come back all of a sudden?" Seeing Gao Yuan appearing in front of him, Lu Hong was a little surprised, and he didn't send a letter in advance, but he actually came.
"Uncle, when I come back this time, I have a very important military plane to report to you!" Gao Yuan said straight to the point.
I heard that it was a military plane, and since Gao Yuan is currently stationed at Curie Pass, it can only be related to the Donghu people. Lu Hong's face became serious. Gao Yuan made a special move and used economic interests to tie himself to Wu Kai and Zhang Shouyue. I'm afraid this Fufeng County Lieutenant has already been replaced. This time, we have to be careful no matter what.
He waved the Hakka Lu Bin to step down, and Lu Hong pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down, tell me, are the Donghu people trying to make trouble again?"
"Uncle, you know that I am friends with the Helan tribe of the Huns. After I went to Curie Pass, I have always asked them to pay attention to the Donghu tribe that attacked us last year. These major plans for animal breeding are almost over, and the people from the Helan tribe believe that this Donghu tribe is very likely to launch another raid on Fufeng in the near future to survive the spring drought." Gao Yuan said.
"Have you figured out how many soldiers there are in this East Hu people called Hutu?" Lu Hong asked.
"It's clear that this is a tribe that failed in the internal struggle of Donghu. Now there are only a thousand people in the tent, and they can barely make up more than 400 horsemen. They are not very strong." Gao Yuan said.
Looking at Gao Yuan, Lu Hong laughed and said: "It's not very strong, Gao Yuan, your tone is too big, there are more than 400 cavalry, and you are still cavalry, with our strength to help the wind, how to resist, it seems that only the strong wall clears the field, try to reduce the loss as much as possible already."
"Uncle, I don't see it that way. The Donghu people are stationed in the area that we agreed with Dayan and Donghu people to not be able to garrison troops. It has broken the rules. This time, I want to destroy them. Anyway, they will be destroyed first. If we follow the rules, we will destroy them, and the Donghu people can't find any excuse to make trouble." Gao Yuan looked at Lu Hong and said seriously.
"Destroy them?" Lu Hong said in shock: "Gao Yuan, are you crazy, just rely on your three hundred soldiers? Even if I send Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha to help you, it is impossible to annihilate this four hundred soldiers. The cavalry of Yu Qi, they come and go like the wind, and they can choose the battlefield freely, and we face them, we can only passively fight, how to annihilate them?
Lu Hong rarely speaks to Gao Yuan so bluntly, but now he has a stern face and reprimands Gao Yuan, obviously not agreeing with Gao Yuan's idea at all.
"Uncle, you're right, I've thought about it over and over again, the advantage of the Donghu people is that they come and go like the wind, and they can move freely, so as long as we think that they have to fight on the battlefield we choose, we can To offset their advantages to the greatest extent, and as long as we plan properly, the scale of victory will be tilted towards us. This tribe is now like a mad dog, if they are not destroyed, they will always threaten us Fufeng, only thousands of If you are a thief every day, there is a principle of preventing thieves for a thousand days. If you don’t kill them, we will never be able to live in peace. They will always threaten us, even the Wu family winery. That is where we make money. If something happens, not only We, I'm afraid even Prefect Zhang can't do it."
Lu Hong took a deep breath, "You're right, so tell me, what do you think?"
Seeing Lu Hong's relaxed tone, Gao Yuan couldn't help being very excited, "Uncle, if the Hutu people attack this time, it will be an excellent opportunity for us to solve this calamity once and for all."
