Pirate Song

After hearing what Xing Captou said, Gao Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately shook his head and said: "Brother Xing is joking, how old am I? How can I be able to take on the position of county captain? Besides, you said

Okay, this is hearsay, don’t take it seriously! This is just something you and I talk about in private. If Wang County Lieutenant is fine, if it reaches his ears, it will make him misunderstand that I want to rob him.

Where's the seat? Besides, Gao is a person who is used to being undisciplined and doesn't like those things in the officialdom. Now that I have food and drink, why should I be so tired? Don't mention this matter again, let's drink and drink!

Later, I prepared some gifts for you guys. I guarantee that your sisters-in-law will like them after you take them back! Haha!"

After a group of people had had enough food and drinks, Gao Huaiyuan gave them a few pieces of soap, and each of them rewarded them with a few coins, which made Capt. Xing and the others very happy. They had all heard of soap.

It’s just because this thing is so ridiculously expensive that they can’t afford it with the little money they earn. This time Gao Huaiyuan gave them several yuan at once, which can make their wives and concubines happy.

They were overjoyed, so everyone thanked Gao Huaiyuan one after another, and then escorted the thieves back to the county town. On the way, they privately praised Gao Huaiyuan for his generosity and his ability to win over people's hearts. It was great to be able to help Gao Huaiyuan.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he didn't care about it. He turned around and threw himself into Zhuangzi's affairs again, and was busy again.

Gao Jian, who was far away in Shaoxing these days, sent people to Daye County several times to keep in touch with Gao Huaiyuan. He was afraid that Gao Huaiyuan would become hot-blooded and do something outrageous again, so he repeatedly asked Gao Huaiyuan to stay in Daye County.

Zhai, don't cause trouble, and Gao Huaiyuan is naturally good-natured and agrees readily. He has already experienced what he needs to experience, and now he no longer needs to be foolish and act as cannon fodder before going to the army. What's more, he has also buried his own secrets in the army.

Seeds, so there is no need to continue to charge in front of the army.

When Gao Huaiyuan invited Zhao Yuju and his family to settle in Daye, Zhao Yuju also took advantage of the servants sent by the Gao family to send back the news and repeatedly thanked Gao Huaiyuan for his kindness. However, in this matter, his mother

The Quan family refused to agree, saying that they were afraid of causing trouble to Gao Huaiyuan. Now that their life at uncle Zhao Yuju's house was fine, they would not come to Daye to join Gao Huaiyuan.

After Gao Huaiyuan read Zhao Yuju's letter, he smiled bitterly. He understood Quan's mentality. After all, no matter how much Zhao Yuju's family fell, they were still relatives of the emperor. It made sense to go back to his parents' home to live there.

Ye relied on outsiders to make a living, and Quan's pride probably wouldn't allow her to do so. Zhao Yuju probably wanted to come over, but he was still underage, so everything still had to be arranged by his mother.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan did not force Zhao Yuju. He was the first child to make friends when he came here. He was kind and righteous and did not want to make things difficult for others. So he asked someone to send some money to Zhao Yuju's family to support Zhao Yuju.

Keep studying. If Zhao Yuju can study hard and get a good name, the emperor of the Zhao family will probably not make any trouble for their family. It can be regarded as a way out!

Putting aside this matter, Gao Huaiyuan continued to be busy with his affairs. During this period of time after his return in Crouching Tiger Villa, various businesses have been progressing hand in hand and developing rapidly. Not only is the business booming, but it has also housed many people.

There were so many young people that Crouching Tiger Villa was a bit overcrowded again. However, this time Gao Huaiyuan not only took in young people, but also took in many young and strong people. Most of these people were displaced due to the war and just wanted to have a living.

A person who has food to eat and a place to settle down is content.

So as a last resort, in order to attract less attention, Gao Huaiyuan once again bought a large piece of land nearby, pulled the young man out alone, and placed him alone in the new manor for cultivation.

Under the training of people like Zhou Hao who have been on the battlefield, those young people who were taken in early have greatly improved their physical fitness and combat literacy. They can be said to have become talents. Among these people, Gao Huaiyuan selected some

Those who were not suitable for joining the army stayed in the villa to engage in various craftsmanships. The remaining sixty or seventy people were organized into the Crouching Tiger Village village team. One of them could guard the village, and another group was sent to the mine to work full-time.

Protecting the mine, there are people in the province who covet his property. After all, the world is not peaceful now. For an industry as big as Crouching Tiger Villa, arranging some villagers will not cause other people to worry.

Gao Huaiyuan not only formally formed the Zhuang Ding team, but also selected fifteen young people with great potential, and sent them to the army to report to Huang Yan and others, so that they could go to the army to practice, and Huang Yan would protect them.

, having a dozen more interns in the military is not a big deal at all.

These people will be his weight in the future. Once it is time to use them, each one must be able to lead the army alone. This has always been Gao Huaiyuan's established policy and will not change in any way.

Zhou Hao and other young men who had gone on expeditions with Gao Huaiyuan have now been transferred to become instructors in the orphan camp, responsible for the training of new young people. As Zhou Hao's deputy, Zhou Jun has complete civil and military skills to ensure that these new recruits

The training of young people will not be biased. As a modern person, Gao Huaiyuan knows that the quality of educated officers is much higher than that of uneducated officers! Therefore, in the training of these young people, he not only pays attention to military

In terms of academics, it also attaches great importance to culture and education, basically forming a small-scale juvenile military academy and forming an effective training model.

With this foundation, over time, Gao Huaiyuan will definitely have a group of subordinates who are good at fighting! And after establishing such a training mechanism, Gao Huaiyuan does not have to do this personally, and can spare time to do more

Something happened.

Things in the mine were progressing very quickly. Malian was very dedicated and led people who were familiar with prospecting to find two more mines in the valley. He also took advantage of the large number of refugees and summoned a group of young refugees to the mine.

They worked in the field and directed them to open a road in the mountains. First, open the road, and then prepare to dig a new mine. In this way, the next step can be to start building a smelting furnace.

Gao Huaiyuan was quite satisfied with this Ma Lian, appointed him as the mine director, and gave him generous rewards. He even found him a wife in the Daye area and built him a house in the mine for him to live in.

, Ma Lian grinned with joy. He originally thought that this was the end of his life, but after arriving here, his life was much better than what he had in his previous hometown, so he was even more determined to work hard for Gao Huaiyuan.

.

In the case of Ma Lian, the craftsmen hired by Gao Huaiyuan all saw their own hope and rushed to do things. Basically no one needed to supervise them in their work, and the efficiency was quite high. For this way of employing people, Gao

Huaiyuan is now using the skill of mastery, while pinching their lifeblood, while giving them a good enough life, and not worrying about them not being of the same mind as him. In this way, after the addition of this group of skilled craftsmen, Crouching Tiger Village's various affairs have progressed.

Add a lot.

In essence, Gao Huaiyuan can be said to have become the president of a large group company. He is either inspecting various workshops or pulling Jiang Peng to tinker with new gadgets all day long.

After the first success in extracting plant essences, Gao Huaiyuan saw that Xue Yanxian was fine, so he temporarily asked him to find some helpers in some surrounding villages to purchase various flowers.

and Sanhuacao, are sent to the old house for unified purchase every day, and then transported to Crouching Tiger Village by car.

A purchasing network was formed, but no one knew what they wanted so many flowers for. Even if they were making rouge, they would not use so many varieties of flowers! Some smart people began to think about this matter. Since some people

If they wanted this kind of flowers, they began to try to grow some themselves, which was much less laborious than picking flowers outside. Unknowingly, Gao Huaiyuan actually led to the development of a new planting industry in the Daye area.

This made Gao Huaiyuan somewhat unexpected!

Generally speaking, after some tinkering, the original soap workshop had to continue to expand and gradually became a cosmetics factory. In addition to retaining the original soap workshop, a workshop for extracting flower essences was also built, specializing in the extraction of

Various plant spices.

Then Gao Huaiyuan purchased another winery nearby, and apparently he continued to make wine. In fact, after some renovations, he prepared to specialize in providing alcohol for Crouching Tiger Village.

Although Gao Huaiyuan didn't know much about the art of brewing, he did know how to use distillation to extract alcohol. This matter was too simple for him. After thinking about it, he drew a sketch of a distilling pot and asked Tie Tie

According to his request, Tsukuru built several special steamers, preparing to repeatedly distill the wine brewed in the original distillery to gradually extract high-level alcohol.

But things often happen by accident. Gao Huaiyuan's original intention was to extract high-purity alcohol for use in Crouching Tiger Village to make perfume, but he unexpectedly created a way to make money again.

Plant willows to create shade.

This matter also starts with the origin of winemaking in China. It turns out that after Gao Huaiyuan arrived in this era, he discovered that he had a large capacity for alcohol. Most people here drank from wine bowls. After drinking, Gao Huaiyuan discovered that this era

The wine tastes bland, and most people can drink a lot of wine. The key reason is the alcohol content of the wine in this era.

Although the wine-making process in China is very early, until the Song Dynasty, it was brewed solely by fermenting grains without further processing, and the wine was also affected by the tolerance of yeast, so the alcohol content was impossible.

If it is too high, grains are often used to cook it, and then distiller's yeast is added for fermentation. After a period of time, the raw materials are fermented to form a liquor, and then the distiller's grains are pressed, and the flowing liquor is clarified and filtered, and then the finished product is

Already.

Moreover, the brewed liquor is sold directly on the market, and the alcohol content that has not gone through the distillation process cannot exceed more than ten degrees, so even people who are not good at drinking can drink two or three bowls of wine.

Gao Huaiyuan is not someone who studies the history of wine. Naturally, it is impossible for him to know that the Chinese winemaking process uses distillation to increase the alcohol content. This process was only introduced to China in the later Yuan Dynasty, so he tinkered with the method of using a still pot to cook the wine.

The winery workers in the winery shook their heads greatly, thinking that Gao Huaiyuan was just fooling around. They had been making wine all their lives and had never seen the wine boiled in a pot, so everyone felt that Gao Huaiyuan was simply a fool.

The layman who was an outsider in brewing started to ridicule Gao Huaiyuan in private. He was ignorant and wanted to get involved in the brewing industry. He was afraid that Gao Huaiyuan would lose money this time.

But precisely because Gao Huaiyuan wanted to purify alcohol, after the first distillation of the original wine, the alcohol content in the wine increased significantly. After the first distillation, the alcohol content reached about 30 degrees. In this way

, the purified wine began to smell much more mellow, and it could even be said that the aroma of the wine was very penetrating, so someone secretly took a sip of the wine that had gone through the first distillation.

As a result, as soon as the wine was in my mouth, a wave of heat immediately rolled down my throat and down into my stomach, like a fire burning down my stomach.

"Wow! Good wine! So spicy! Enjoyable! It's so enjoyable!" The guy who was the first to eat crabs took a sip of wine and immediately burped and started jumping and shouting.

Gao Huaiyuan was naturally at the scene. When he heard this man's shouting, he immediately realized something and quickly took a spoonful of wine and took a sip.

When the familiar smell of wine hit his nose, Gao Huaiyuan felt a flash of inspiration in his mind. Without saying a word, he immediately ordered someone to turn off the fire, sealed the barrel of distilled wine in a wine jar, and then started

After clearing away the idlers and others, they dismantled the still pot on the spot and brought the pot and wine back to Crouching Tiger Manor.

Naturally, no one in the winery understood this. They only listened to the person who took a sip and said how delicious and strong the wine was, but they were not able to taste it personally. No one paid attention to the principle and structure of the still, except for the disciples.

Apart from lamenting that I couldn't take a bite first, there was nothing I could do.

While the person who had tasted it was still lamenting that he would never be able to drink this exquisite wine again, he was soon given a gag order by Gao Huaiyuan and brought to Crouching Tiger Manor, prohibiting him from continuing to promote this wine.

The delicious food, and under coercion and inducement, ordered him to become a member of Crouching Tiger Village. Only then did he realize that another doorstep that could make him rich was in front of him.

Gao Huaiyuan summoned several core members of Zhuangzi together, presented the unexpectedly obtained jar of wine in front of everyone, and poured a bowl for each of them, allowing them to smell it first and then taste it.

So everyone held up the wine bowls in confusion and started sniffing.

"Good wine! The smell of this wine is really fragrant and strong! I boast that I have drunk a lot of fine wines in my life, but this is the first time I smell such wine!" Huang Zhen happened to come from outside on this day.

When I came back, I was fortunate enough to participate in this wine tasting party in person. When Gao Huaiyuan opened the wine jar just now, he was immediately attracted by the aroma of the wine. When he picked up the wine bowl and took a deep sniff, he couldn't bear to

He couldn't help shouting immediately.

Zhou Laowu, Zhou Botong and other older people around him also nodded. These people usually like to drink as one of their entertainments. Now smelling the smell of wine, the alcohol bugs in their stomachs are starting to stir.

, everyone started to salivate a little bit.

After shouting, several old drinkers hurriedly came to the wine bowl and took a sip. Zhou Hao, Jiang Peng and others also took a sip. The others were still closing their eyes and looking intoxicated as they savored the wine.

When it was getting colder, Jia Qi coughed loudly.

"Wow! It's so strong! Ahem... it's so spicy! What kind of wine is this? Why is it so... ahem... why is it so spicy!" Judge hugged his neck and looked like he was dying.

He was coughing and shouting with his tongue out.

Huang Zhen was really rude. He reached out and grabbed Jia Qi's wine bowl, and scolded with a smile: "What do you know, little guy! Don't show off if you don't know how to drink! I'd better let me drink your bowl of wine!"

As a result, before he finished speaking, Zhou Botong drank all the wine in his wine bowl in one gulp, reached out and snatched the bowl of wine in front of Huang Zhen, and said with a smile: "Since you have another bowl, what about you?"

Just give the old man a bowl of wine and let me drink it!"

Huang Zhen almost fell out with Zhou Botong. The two of them started fighting over the wine bowls, causing Gao Huaiyuan and others to laugh loudly.

"Okay, there are still quite a few here. I'll let you take care of it today! Stop arguing! Tell me how this wine is!" Gao Huaiyuan persuaded Huang Zhen and Zhou Botong away with a smile, and asked them

arrive.

"Does that need to be said? This wine is the best wine I have ever drunk in my life! This is the first time in my life that I have drunk such strong wine! How will I live after this!

The young master brought this kind of fine wine, and if you let me drink other wine, it will be almost like drinking swill! The young master will not let the old slave live!" After Zhou Botong finished a bowl of wine, he burped and shook his head.

Talked about it.

"Good wine! It's indeed good wine! What Tiejiang Zhou said is right. This wine is indeed extremely sweet and fragrant, and it makes your stomach feel as good as fire. I also like drinking, and I used to drink it too when I was in Shaoxing.

Drinking good wine, but this is the first time I have seen such a strong wine. If this kind of wine is on the market, other wineries will simply stop making it! With one kind of wine alone, even if there are no other

With those items, I can guarantee that you will make a lot of money in the future, young master!" Huang Zhen nodded and said.

"You're right, it's a good wine! It's indeed a good wine!" Zhou Laowu didn't talk as much as them, but he nodded along, holding the wine bowl, and couldn't help but take another sip, savoring it slowly.
