Chapter 212? Distilled wine
Sun Wu and Wu Qi are known as the Sage of War.
In order to win over the soldiers, Wu Qi was even willing to suck abscess for Xiaojian. Xiaojian's mother cried after hearing this.
Someone didn't understand, so he asked Xiaobing's mother.
Xiaobing's mother replied: "In the past, Mr. Wu sucked abscess for my husband, and my husband was willing to die for Mr. Wu. Now it's my son's turn. I don't know when my son will die or where he died, so I cried."
Although Wu Qi's actions are utilitarian, they are effective.
Not long after, the hot water was brought by the personal soldiers. Zhang Xiu asked the confused soldier to sit down, then cleaned the wounds on his feet with a constant expression, wiped them with a cloth, and applied a golden sore medicine.
After doing it, Zhang Xiu turned to Wu Kuang and said, "General Wu. In the future, this kind of wound should be cleaned with boiling water frequently, and do not use unboiled water."
"promise."
Wu Kuang quickly agreed and wrote it down.
"I won't clean up the wounds for you one by one, you can recuperate well." Zhang Xiu turned around, bowed to the wounded soldiers, and then left openly.
He did this just now, indeed to win people's hearts. But this is not the main thing. With his current status, he is already a great minister, so there is no need to do this.
He was telling Wu Kuang that he should use boiling water, boiling water, boiling water, rather than the well water or river water that had just been dug up.
Zhang Xiu had always drunk boiled water, including drinking water, but the soldiers had been drinking uncooked river water and well water.
In this way, it would be strange if the epidemic is not spreading in the army. Especially in the humid and hot areas in the south, it is more likely to get sick.
Zhang Xiu has always suspected that the Battle of Red Cliffs and the epidemic occurred in Cao Cao's army because the soldiers were not eating and drinking cleanly.
After Zhang Xiu left the tent, he took everyone into the Central Army's tent and sat down. He said boiled water and Jingshui, and his mouth was dry.
All the smart people here listened seriously and showed a thoughtful look.
What bacteria and viruses? Although they didn’t have this concept before, they could understand it.
Everyone's eyes gradually lit up, including Chen Gong. This is a major discovery. If the whole army drinks boiled water, uses boiled water to clean the wounds, and handles feces in a concentrated and orderly manner, it can greatly suppress the epidemic.
This is a great thing and a major discovery.
There were probably so many things today. After Zhang Xiu held back for everyone, he stood up and planned to leave the camp and go back to Luoyang.
But Chen Gong said, "Boss, let's talk about it alone."
Zhang Xiu guessed what Chen Gong was going to say, so he let the rest go down, leaving only Chen Gong in the tent. He smiled and looked at Chen Gong with a black face and said, "Public platform, it's okay to just say anything."
"Ming Gong. Although soldiers and generals need to win over, you have been rewarded too much. Now you have nothing to eat and there is no money or food." Chen Gong looked at Zhang Xiu's smiling face, felt angry and said in a deep voice.
The problem is very serious, don't smile.
Zhang Xiu smiled again when he heard this, nodded and said, "Then the official station, do you have any plans?"
"Make money and reduce money. Please don't give too much rewards. The Ming Duke was given by the court that there was a large area of land outside Luoyang City, but no one cultivated it. The next time the Ming Duke had the opportunity to go to war and collect surrendered soldiers, please leave some of it to cultivate the land as tenants and produce grain."
Chen Gonghao said without hesitation.
He has no business talent, and all he can think of is saving money and growing food from the land.
Zhang Xiu didn't care when he heard this. He had a lot of land outside the city, but he planned to divide it into small pieces and give it to his subordinates.
For example, Gongsun Du, Zhang Liao, and even Taishi Ci who had not come yet. These people live in Luoyang and only have a little salary, how can they feel comfortable? Give them some land.
What's the use of him asking for fields? It's the farming and the daylily is cold.
However, since Chen Gong said it so seriously, Zhang Xiu pretended to listen very seriously and agreed very seriously.
Chen Gong was also very satisfied when he saw Zhang Xiu's attitude becoming more correct. After that, Zhang Xiu was finally able to leave. Under the attention of the civil and military officials, he rode into a luxurious carriage and returned to the Grand Sima Mansion in the city.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Zhang Xiu ordered a soldier to say, "Go and find Wang Ding to the study."
"promise."
The personal soldiers agreed and went down immediately. When Zhang Xiu came to the study room to sit, he saw Wang Ding, who looked excited, quickly entered the study room.
"Ming Gong." Wang Ding bowed his hands and bowed deeply.
He was so excited. He was born as a businessman, and devoted himself to Zhang Xiu, so he was optimistic about Zhang Xiu's potential. He didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would develop so quickly.
Now Zhang Xiu is the emperor of the court and has a high position and a powerful position.
Unfortunately, as Zhang Xiu gradually gained power, he, a businessman, was marginalized. At present, he is just a minor official in the shogunate of the Cavalry, and it is difficult to have anything to talk to Zhang Xiu.
This opportunity is rare, he has to seize it.
"Sir." Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile. He was nostalgic and was still good to Wang Ding. So he asked again: "How is he living in Luoyang?"
"Thank you for your public care, there is no problem with life." Wang Ding took a deep breath and replied with a grateful look.
"Well. Let's sit first." Zhang Xiu nodded and asked Wang Ding to sit down first. Then he started grinding the ink by himself, took out a white cloth, and started writing and painting.
This made Wang Dingxin look like a cat's claws, and he couldn't help but look up frequently. After Zhang Xiu put down his pen, he sat and waited honestly.
Zhang Xiu raised his head and greeted Wang Ding, handed the white cloth to Wang Ding. He whispered again and asked Wang Ding to deal with it.
"No." Wang Ding was surprised when he heard this. He looked at the white cloth in his hand. Can this thing produce strong wine? Although he was skeptical, of course, Zhang Xiu had to do his best to give his order. He responded with a loud voice and turned around.
Zhang Xiu gave Wang Ding the drawings, which were utensils for distilled liquor. It was highly liquor.
It has many uses and can be used for sale. No matter whether it suits the tastes of the Han Dynasty, there will always be people who like it. Moreover, high-quality white wine can keep warm and is very useful in cold winters.
Gradually, people in the Han Dynasty will get used to it.
This is a voice without technical content, and others will definitely imitate the past. But with his current status, who dares to imitate it in a place controlled by the imperial court?
Just like salt and iron with huge profits, only the court can do business. Of course, only he can do business with his wine.
Who dares to do it?
Aren't you afraid of his troops?
Moreover, this high-level liquor is not only a business, but also has a great role in the army. Not only can soldiers keep warm in winter, clean up wounds, and avoid infections, it is also first-class.
Along the way, Zhang Xiu had seen too many soldiers who died of illness due to a little wound.
As for the population.
When he is not capable, Zhang Xiu can't take care of him much. But when he is capable, Zhang Xiu will try his best to keep every Han person alive.
"Fighting for the world is the first step, and fighting for the world is the second step. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see Han people spread throughout East Asia and even going south to Australia."
Zhang Xiu raised his head and looked into the distance.
A person's life is limited, and he probably will never have the chance to see the cavalry of the Han Dynasty and work in Europe in his life.
But going south to Australia should be fine, right?
Go south by Jiuzhen County, Jiaozhi County (Mongoln) enters Australia, restores the four Han counties (Mongolx) eastward, and crosses the sea to the east to Japan.
Zhang Xiu felt satisfied when he could do this in his lifetime.
I was thinking too much, so I would like to make the distilled wine and open the source. Zhang Xiu quickly withdrew his thoughts, and then he had nothing to do, so he went to the back house to hang out with the second back.
As for Zhang Xiu's current status and status, what good craftsman do you want? In just two days, the utensils that Zhang Xiu needed were prepared.
Without hiding it, Zhang Xiu asked Wang Ding to transport the utensils to the front yard and let the craftsmen burn fire and distillate it in public.
There were more than a hundred officials in the shogunate of the General of the Cavalry. Zhang Xiu did this, of course, attracted everyone's attention.
Jia Xu, Cai Mao, Shi Guangyuan, Fa Zheng and others came out one after another and looked at them curiously.
"Ming Gong, what are you going to do?" Fa Zheng was the youngest and couldn't help but bow and ask.
"It's just brewing wine." Zhang Xiu looked at the craftsman pouring the wine into the utensil, and smiled and turned back to Fa Zheng and said. Fa Zheng was a little unbelievable, but did not refute Zhang Xiu.
"I have never seen such a wine brewing." Fa Zheng thought to himself.
Not to mention the Dharma-correction, even the rest of the people think so.
With the continuous operation of craftsmen, the aroma of wine in the air gradually became richer. This is a kind of wine fragrance that is different from all wines in this era.
The wine in this era is not only low in the form of food, but also a little sour. If you don’t get drunk by a thousand cups per person, Zhang Xiu has never really got drunk anyway.
However, the aroma of wine permeates this distilled instrument seems to be intoxicated when you smell it.
Including the Dharma, many people couldn't help but swallowed.
Gulu.
In this era, people not only did not get drunk by a thousand cups per person, but most of them were drunkards as long as they were scholars. There were very few people like Gao Shun who did not drink alcohol.
Zhang Xiu glanced at Fa Zheng and said with a smile: "Wait for a while, let's take your first sip."
Fa Zheng didn't speak, but his expression was extremely excited.
Not long after, under the operation of the workers, a bowl of wine that could be drunk flowed out of the mouth of the wine, and the aroma of the wine could no longer be suppressed.
Zhang Xiu personally took a wine bowl, got a bowl of extremely slightly yellowed wine, and handed it to Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng was not vague, and after taking a sip, he then.
"Spray!!!!" Fa Zheng couldn't help but want to spray, but he didn't dare to spray at Zhang Xiu, so he had to turn his head and spray it on Shi Guangyuan's body.
"Fa Zheng." Shi Guangyuan was furious and glared at Fa Zheng.
"Guangyuan, don't be angry. It's not that I humiliated you, but that I really can't drink this wine." Fa Zheng was half wronged and half apologized quickly.
"Hahahaha." Zhang Xiu couldn't help laughing. Is it so easy to drink high-alcohol liquor? It's like a fire in your mouth. After you get to your stomach, it's really caught fire.
