Chapter 139 Everything is ready

Zhao San and his wife were both from small places, with shallow eyelids. When they heard that they could be cured without taking medicine, they listened half-believingly. Zhao San was originally strong and recovered after two days of illness.

Once the illness was cured, Zhao Sanliang and his wife regarded it as the contribution of Maitreya Buddha and Wusheng's mother. At that time, they advised them that their lives were miserable. As long as they worship God and pray to Buddha, they could live a good life and be rich and noble in the next life.

After talking about it, the Zhao San family invited the statue of the god home, burned incense and worshiped every day, and went out once every two days to attend the incense meeting.

In just six days, not only did the money for medical treatment and medicine be spent, but also took out all the savings that the couple had after they arrived at the Zhao family.

It was still afternoon when He Cuihua was wandering around the yard to clean up and smelled the fragrance of silk from Zhao Sanjia's house. She knew that this was not cheap, and she also knew that Zhao Sanjia did not offer any spiritual cards for ancestors. When she went in, she found a statue of gods, and she lost her temper.

"Smelling the Incense Sect?" Zhao Jin said in a daze. He Cuihua nodded angrily and replied: "It's this evil way. I have seen so many of your mother since I was a child. First, I burn incense and worship the gods, and then I asked you to worship the property. At that time, you will also go out to make trouble, so that your family will be destroyed and all the people will be ruined."

Zhao Jin nodded, no wonder his parents had a good attitude towards Mu Shulan, but were very cold and even hostile to Mr. Mu.

At this time, Zhao Zhentang also came back from the yamen and saw these people in the yard. After learning about it, he said frankly: "If you find out what you have to do with the Scented Sect, I will drive you out of the Zhao family."

He Cuihua said it for an afternoon, and Zhao San and his wife were just panic. Zhao San and his wife knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that they didn't dare to do anything.

This matter has only come to an end now. He Cuihua angrily called Zhao Sanmao to cook, while Zhao Zhentang and Zhao Jin were waiting for the meal in the house.

"The Winter Sorrow Sect should have sent new people to preside over the presidency. There have been several lawsuits in the city." Zhao Zhentang said.

Now Zhao Zhentang treats Zhao Jin as an adult, and he will take the initiative to tell him a lot of news.

"Aren't the people from Xiaolan's family in charge?" Zhao Jin asked in surprise. The second uncle of Mu Shulan came to clean up the chaos. He subconsciously thought that it was the people from the Mu family in charge.

"I should have gone back to Shandong a long time ago. It's really the Mu family's people who are in charge. There will be so many chaos there." Zhao Zhentang said.

Although the activity of the incense smelling sect is secret, for the whereabouts of local tyrants, the activity can still be grasped. Moreover, the missionary burning incense must be carried out on the market, and there will be traces as soon as the activity is carried out.

There is no profit to get up early. When you smell the incense and preach the mission, you may help the poor and help each other. However, the purpose is to plunder money and expand your power. It is nothing more than to deceive people into the church and then seize other people's property.

According to Zhao Zhentang, Mr. Mu used to be very disciplined, just preaching doctrines and asking the church members to help each other. Mr. Mu only paid for food, clothing and expenses, so Mu Shulan didn't look very rich. Later, after a long time, some wealthy local tyrants entered the church and spent generously, so Mr. Mu's father and daughter gradually became rich.

At present, the new leader is not so restrained. There have been several cases in the inner and outer city of Xuzhou City recently. Some people went to the yamen to report the case for help, and some people couldn't stand this tone and hanged themselves, causing a lot of trouble.

However, the new club owner did something well, and his whereabouts were always hidden. The core figures of the Scented Sect Xuzhou were also very cautious, and it was difficult for the government to cause trouble.

After saying this, I brought the dinner to me. I was just a hurry to eat, so it was very simple. Zhao Jin took a few bites and said, "Dad, I'm going to open a winery in the south of the city, and everyone has already been hired."

Zhao Zhentang and He Cuihua were both stunned. He Cuihua subconsciously said: "Which winery is open at a young age, you have the capital."

After saying a while, he stopped and murmured, "No wonder you drank those days."

Zhao Zhentang glanced at her and said with a smile: "Your baby son is very rich, how could he have no capital?"

After saying this, Zhao Zhentang frowned and said, "The winery, there is only one in the south of the city now. That one should not be maintained. Are you afraid of losing money when doing this?"

"I won't lose money," Zhao Jin replied with a smile.

Zhao Zhentang and He Cuihua looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and no one continued to speak.

The preliminary preparations for opening a winery were very smooth. There was an abandoned winery in the south of the city. Lu Xiangjiu and Su Dada elected a water well in the yard.

The stores in the south of the city have been closed for a long time, and the winery shops such as Tianguo inside have been damaged a lot, but Lu Xiangjiu and Su Dazi have taken enough money and are also very motivated to do things. They ran around the city several times and actually put them together from various wineries.

Zhao Jin, a fellow at the winery, had already considered it. When recruiting servants, many young people came to apply for the recruitment. These people were suitable apprenticeships and could be used. The wages were 20% higher than those on the market. When the news spread, not only those young people were willing to come, but even the craftsmen who had worked in the winery in the past came to apply for the recruitment.

But what surprised Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da was that when Zhao Jin recruited these people, he only considered that his family was in Xuzhou City and had three generations of people, so he would be recruited.

The sorghum, as the raw material for brewing, quickly gathered the required quantity. Now the Ming Dynasty is not that she cannot buy grain with money, but that she has no cash. Zhao Jin has a lot of silver and copper coins, and she bought the kind of coarse grain sorghum that is not of high-end quality. She easily bought all the quantity. And everyone knows that it is "Jinye" to buy grain, and the grain dealers and grain shops have selected good products to provide.

On the fifth day after buying the abandoned winery, Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da were excited to invite Zhao Jin over.

You can vaguely see the name of this winery from the mottled signboard, "Piaoxiang Wine House". The name is very tacky, the walls are very damaged, and there are weeds on it.

"Owner, the sky pot, floor pot and floor tank in this winery were taken away, and the wooden houses in the drying room were gone, but don't worry, you can easily make up for these things. There are still good things in other places, just use them to brush them and use them."

Listening to the explanation of the two of them, Zhao Jin smiled. The Piaoxiang winery in front of him was indeed dilapidated. Except for the fact that the building was barely complete and could be used after repair, it looked similar to a garbage dump. The grass in the yard was as high as the knees, and messy things were thrown all over the floor.

Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da had already cleared a road here and said as he walked: "When this winery was closed, he must have thought about opening it again. The well behind it was pressed with a few large bluestone slabs and was never touched, so we can dig another well. Look at the other side, although the dark ditch is silted, it can still be used after cleaning it."

The winery building is very tall and spacious, but it is also dirty and messy inside, and there is a pungent smell. Su Da explained: "There were a few beggars living here before, and they have been driven away."

This is a winery for Zhao Jin. Chen Ergou and Pig-killing Li both took it as a big deal and arranged for his subordinates to come and follow him. Naturally, Yu Jing was cleaned up.

The place is dirty and messy. The winery is almost as big as a cargo yard. It costs only ten taels of silver after trading. Naturally, it is impossible to buy a very regular one at such a cheap price.

Zhao Jin followed the two men patiently to the same place. There were inexplicable piles of soil in this place. Two piles seemed to have been dug up, and the rest were covered with grass. It looked like they had not moved for many years.

"Home, I'll see a few abandoned wineries. This one is the most worthwhile. There are wine cellars under this mound." Lu Xiangjiu said excitedly.

"When this store closed, I must have thought of doing it again. The most important two places were well protected. The well was sealed. The wine cellar was covered with bluestone slabs, plaster smears, and then soil was pressed on it. It could be reopened at any time if it was opened. Who thought that this market was worse than one year?" Lu Xiangjiu was also a winery manager back then, and he was a little sad as he spoke.

"It will take three years to dig a wine cellar and maintain a wine cellar. The young man wanted to find such a place with a mature cellar. I really found it for you." Su Da's words obviously meant to show his merits.

Lu Xiangjiu glanced at Su Da and rushed to say, "Boss, I've gone down to see it. It's made of bluestone strips, and there's a faint smell of crumbs. There have not been too many families around the well. The well water should be good. Such a cellar, such water, can definitely make better wine with rice and wheat. The boss should not use sorghum."

Zhao Jin smiled and firmly replied: "You must use sorghum."

The winery is very big. After seeing it, Shi Manqiang's father said that he needed a lot of labor to clean up Yu Jing. What Zhao Jin lacked the most here is manpower.

The day after everything was settled, Zhao Jin pulled all the hundreds of servants over, and the young people who were recruiting as wine shops were more than 150, which was enough, and they immediately got up in full swing.

Zhao Jin's servants left the yard and went to Chengnan winery, which caused a lot of sensation along the way. Everyone knows that Zhao Jin was training stewards in the yard, and many idle men even went there to watch the fun. At that time, they only felt that everyone was clumsy and full of jokes.

But in less than a month, these people had changed a lot. Everyone was wearing the same clothes, walking the same steps, lined up in neat formations, and striding on the street.

Many passers-by stopped to watch, many shops on the street looked around curiously, and the idle men ran over to watch the fun.
