Farmer of Shu Han

As the most professional construction team in the world, the Engineering Battalion repaired a yard in Pingxiang City within a month, which is still very simple.

Zhang Xingyi looked at the large courtyard rammed with earth, then at Feng Yong who was walking in the front, and suddenly thought of a question.

She walked two steps quickly, caught up with Guan Ji, and took her arm affectionately, "Sister, when you and brother went to Nanxiang, did you live in this kind of house?"

After hearing this, Guan Ji's eyes revealed memories, and the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly curled up. It seemed that she must have remembered a few years ago when she and A Lang went to Hanzhong for the first time.

She patted Zhang Xingyi's hand, and said softly, "How could such a good thing happen? Back then we built a thatched cottage by ourselves."

Zhang Xingyi stuck out her tongue, she turned her head to the side and thought for a while, she really couldn't think of what kind of Feng Junhou, who was well-known in the world and less popular in Wulue, led a group of people to live in a thatched hut. situation.

From a farmer, in just a few years, he became a world-renowned monarch.

If it were those proud sons of aristocratic families, they might not be able to scold the head of Guizhou, steal a high position, have no virtue and no deeds, and be crowned with a monkey.

But if it was Guan Ji and Zhang Xingyi, it would be different.

After all, the case of the first emperor and their two adults is in the front.

According to later research, many women subconsciously use their father as a reference when choosing a spouse.

Zhang Xingyi felt that the person in front of him was a little bit inferior to her adult, and he was too timid.

Grandmother was only old back then, and she was a daughter of Xiahou's family. Didn't the lord snatch her away just as she said?

"Brother, are you planning to make Pingxiang City the same as Nanxiang?"

"Of course not. Nanxiang can do without a city wall, but if Pingxiang doesn't have a city wall, then it definitely won't work."

Feng Yong stopped in front of the courtyard hall, turned his head and smiled.

If Pingxiang dares not to build a city wall, one day a cavalry soldier from Liangzhou will quietly come over and take advantage of the gap to plunder, and there will be no place to cry when the time comes.

And here is no better than Nanxiang, horse thieves and small bandits are everywhere, without the protection of the city wall, Feng Yong is not afraid, but it does not mean that the people underneath will feel safe.

Amei walked up to Feng Yong from the back, and asked softly, "Do you want to take a bath first, or have some food first?"

"Did you cook the meals?"

Feng Yong asked casually.

"yes."

"Then let's eat first."

After giving the rice to Zhao Guang, the quality of Feng Yong's diet has dropped significantly these days.

Coupled with the fact that the weather is starting to turn cold, it would be best if you can have a warm meal first during this journey.

After hearing Feng Yong's words, Ah Mei retreated quietly.

Then Guan Ji stepped forward and helped Feng Yong take off his cloak and coat.

Seeing the two showing their affection, Li Mu smiled lightly, his expression normal.

But Zhang Xingyi pouted uncontrollably.

The food was brought out quickly, and Feng Yong sat at the head of the table.

Bottom, left and right are Guan Ji and Zhang Xingyi, Li Mu is sitting behind them with winking eyes, these three can be regarded as companions.

As for Amei, she was standing beside Feng Yong, helping him with vegetables very attentively.

After gobbling and eating half full, Ah Mei brought another jar, just after opening the mud seal, Feng Yong raised his head and moved his nose, "Where did you get the wine?"

Ah Mei carefully poured a glass for Feng Yong, only to see that the wine in the glass was slightly yellow, and compared with the wine of this era, it had more fragrance.

"This is..." Feng Yong thought of something, his heart moved, and he looked at Amei, "You made it?"

There was some pride on Amei's face, and the light of longing and hope was shining in her eyes, "Master, you have a taste, I don't know if it suits the master's taste."

Hearing this, Feng Yong picked up the ear cup and took a sip. The aroma of the wine entered the mouth, and at the same time, there was a hint of sweetness, which was less mellow than the rum of later generations.

But that's enough.

Dahan has been abstaining from alcohol for a long time.

And even if you can't help but drink, it's impossible to compare with the wine in your hand just because the wine is about the same age as vinegar.

Feng Yong thought of this, and then looked at Amei who was staring nervously at him without blinking. If it wasn't for the fact that his wife was watching from below, he might have brought this precious woman over and kissed her first. Say it in one bite.

"Not bad, it's really good. This wine is better than I expected." Feng Yong didn't hesitate to praise himself, "Amei, you have made a great contribution."

Traditional sugar extraction technology is not effective in squeezing cane juice.

The residue of sugar cane, there will be too much sugar juice left.

It's not impossible to use these residues to make paper, after all, that's how Feng Yong fooled Ah Dou back then.

But in this case, a paper-making workshop would have to be built in Nanzhong, and the paper produced would have to be shipped from Nanxiang.

It's not that the cost is too high, after all, the paper produced by Nanxiang is also a high-margin product.

For example, Xiang Lang, who promised to write an inscription for Nanxiang Academy, Feng Yong also promised to give him a cartload of papers in addition to the matter of Ma Di.

But based on the principle of maximizing profits, Feng Yong decided to try to make wine with sugarcane waste first.

The profit of alcohol is much higher than that of paper, not to mention that the big man is still in the stage of prohibition.

The most famous wine made from sugar cane residue is rum.

After all, girly cigars, coffee, and rum, these things can be considered as Cuban characteristics, and they are still very famous.

It is a weapon used by many nouveau riche to pretend to be aggressive.

After Feng Yong's fall in his previous life, he hadn't had much contact with them.

Especially rum, that's called Pirate's Romance.

Women generally have little resistance to the word romance, so Feng Yong naturally has to learn a little about its origin and how to drink it.

The traditional brewing method of rum is very simple. What Feng Yong lacks is an oak barrel for pretense.

It’s just that as the prince of the big man, Feng Junhou said that the big man’s is the best, and it’s fine to put it in a jar. What kind of oak barrel should you use?

"Go, pour Xijun a glass too, Xijun is very sweet, see if you like this wine."

The wine of this era is really too bad, finally there is a drinkable wine, Feng Yong is overjoyed and can't wait to share it with others.

Guan Ji had a smile on her face, but she didn't show any curiosity, because she had already tasted this wine when it came out.

After all, Ghost King Feng's prestige in Yuejue was not built upon. As the wife of the ghost king, even Meng Yan, the prefect of Yuejue, had to give Guan Ji three points.

What's more, the wine was brewed by Ah Mei. As the concubine of the Feng family, she still knows who is the real master of the house.

"How did Ah Lang come up with the idea of ​​using sugar cane to make wine?"

Guan Ji took a sip, then motioned for Amei to serve both Zhang Xingyi and Li Mu, and then asked Feng Yong.

Feng Yong laughed, "I've drank it before. In Shimen's book, there is a record of how to make wine from sugar cane."

Zhang Xingyi wasn't interested in alcohol at first, but he hated other people's drunkenness.

It's just that the fragrance of this wine is really different, and seeing the excitement on Feng Yong's face that couldn't be concealed, she finally took a sip carefully.

Because the craftsmanship is not good enough, the alcohol content is not too high, and there is still a little molasses in it, which actually has a hint of sweetness, making Zhang Xingyi take another sip involuntarily.

"This wine, what kind of wine?"

"Cane wine, let's call it like this for now, and I will think of a better name later."

Feng Yong said indifferently.

Li Mu, on the other hand, took a sip, his eyes brightened, "Your Majesty, what Madam means is that this wine is brewed from sugarcane. Does that mean that it is not included in the list of prohibited alcohol?"

Feng Yong knew what Li Mu was thinking as soon as he heard it, he shook his head lightly, "Even if this wine is not on the list of prohibited alcohol, the prime minister can't let it be sold outside."

"At most, you are allowed to brew wine for yourself in private at home. Otherwise, what's the point of prohibition? Others don't care whether you use sugar cane or grain to make wine."

"As long as the interest of this wine is high enough, if they can't get sugarcane, they will naturally replace it with food. How do you ban it?"

Of course Feng Yong wants to sell this wine, but now that the big man is in such a situation, if he dares to let go of selling wine, it is certain that grain wine will appear.

Rather than being implicated in the end, it is better to hide and drink from the beginning.

In the past two years, the ban on alcohol has been loosened a bit. As long as you don’t go to the streets and tell me that my family has brewed wine, or sell it openly, and drink it yourself, the government will not cause trouble.

Of course, whether this wine will be listed separately in the end, for Guanzhong Liangzhou or something, I don’t need to talk about it here for the time being.

Li Mu understood as soon as he heard it, with a look of disappointment on his face.

As the biggest CEO under Feng Yong, she is not interested in money, but is very interested in how to make money.

Because in this process, she can experience the thrill of having power.

On the other hand, Guan Ji, after listening to the conversation between the two, glanced at Li Mu with a thoughtful expression, and only heard her suggest to Feng Yong, "It's a bit vulgar to call cane wine, why not call it a honey bar? It looks golden like Honey water, it tastes sweet when you drink it.”

"According to Xijun, it's called honey wine." Feng Yong said with a smile, "As long as Xijun is happy."

As he said that, he looked at Guan Ji with burning eyes.

Guan Ji's face flushed slightly, and she spat secretly, but it made Feng Yong's heart beat like a deer even more.

After eating, it wasn't too early, Feng Yong asked people to disperse the bowls and chopsticks, and ordered to discuss the matter tomorrow, and then hurried down to take a bath and prepare to rest.

After being separated from Xijun for a year, my heart is almost insane, how can I have the mood to think about other things?

Of course, it would be even better if you drink some honey wine before going to bed.

Sweet as honey!

When I woke up the next morning, I felt refreshed. Feng Yong pushed open the door of the wing room, and saw Zhang Xingyi was sitting there with blank eyes at the door of the wing room opposite half of the courtyard. blackened.

"Hey, Si Niang, you got up so early?"

Feng Yong asked in surprise.

Zhang Xingyi was awakened, saw Feng Yong opposite, said "ah", stood up in a panic, turned around and was about to run away.

Unexpectedly, he took two steps in a hurry, then turned around suddenly, glared at Feng Yong, first snorted, and then maybe felt that it was not enough to express his anger, so he let out a "bah" again.

Then he turned and went back to his room, and closed the door with a "bang", which made Feng Yong a little confused.

Guan Ji poked her head out from behind, her hair hanging down like a cloud, it seemed that she was just combing a little.

Although the languid beauty only showed her face, her astonishing beauty has been revealed without any concealment. Her face is as smooth as white jade, but also has a seductive rosy color, like a flower that has fully bloomed after the rain.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw that Amei had appeared outside the corner with the wash water, and she retracted her head again.

He didn't have time to think about Si Niang's abnormal behavior, even if he guessed something, Feng Yong didn't have time to worry about it.

Seeing that winter is coming, Pingxiang still has a lot of things to do.

After hastily eating breakfast, he asked someone to call Wei Rong over, and began to arrange things.

"Guang Xunlu will be going to Hanzhong in a few days. In addition to being ordered by the emperor, he will also go to Nanxiang Academy."

Feng Yong sat on it and said, "At the same time, the people sent by the palace will also go to Nanxiang."

His eyes fell on Zhang Xingyi, and seeing that she was still in a daze, he coughed, "Si Niang, I still need you to worry about this matter."

Zhang Xingyi didn't respond.

"Si Niang?"

Guan Ji who was sitting opposite shouted.

Zhang Xingyi just said "Yeah", sat down in a hurry, looked at Guan Ji, "what's the matter, sister?"

Guan Ji said helplessly, "What's wrong with you today? You don't look very well, did you not have a good rest last night?"

It's good that Guan Ji didn't say this, but when she mentioned this, Zhang Xingyi's face turned red, "Sister, what are you talking about? I didn't know how good I slept last night."

Naturally, she would not admit that she sneaked away to listen to the wall last night.

"What's on your mind, Si Niang?" Feng Yong also asked, "When I talked to you just now, you seemed absent-minded?"

"It's okay!" Zhang Xingyi glared at Feng Yong, and said angrily, "What did you just say?"

Feng Yong was choked by her, it took him a while to react, and he took another look at Guan Ji who was smiling but not smiling.

Only then did he stammer, "Uh, the palace sent someone to enroll in Nanxiang Academy, and wanted to invite Si Niang to go to the academy to set up a place..."

"What is a town hall?"

Not only Zhang Xingyi, but even Guan Ji looked over curiously.

"Uh, uh, just to suppress those who come out of the palace, so as not to cause any trouble."

Although they may have been warned before they came to Nanxiang, who knows if some people will feel that their identities are different from others, and if something happens at that time, Feng Yong is not afraid, but it is always disgusting.

So it would be best to find someone who can hold them down.

"Do you want me to go back to Nanxiang?"

Zhang Xingyi asked with some reluctance, she looked at Guan Ji again, and pouted.

Guan Ji smiled reassuringly, "Si Niang is a female official in the palace, but if we encounter something related to the palace outside, if we don't look for you, who else can we look for?"

"And it doesn't mean that you won't come back after going to Nanxiang, but that you should suppress them. When they get used to the rules of the school, even if you don't want to come back, we will ask you to come back."

"The matter of Longyou has just begun, and there are still many things to ask you in the future, A Lang, don't you think so?"

When Guan Ji finished speaking, she turned to Feng Yong again.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Feng Yong nodded again and again, "Si Niang returned to Nanxiang, and asked Li Tong to work hard to raise more bees. This year's sucrose came out, and I will ask someone to send you more."

"When the time comes, put the sucrose in the bee's nest, and the bees won't have to worry about starving to death in winter. The honey and beeswax will be of great use in the future, and it all depends on Si Niang."

As soon as Zhang Xingyi heard that she was so important, and saw the meaning in Guan Ji's eyes, her thoughts suddenly became clear, and she nodded, "Since my sister said so, then I will go back to Nanxiang for a while." Let's go."

"People who come out of the palace really need to be told more, so as not to be like that yellow again..."

"Huang Hao."

"Well, as ignorant as that Huang Hao."

Zhang Xingyi nodded.
