"I think I also saw large armies crossing the border back then. I'm afraid only some personal soldiers and guards could have such an imposing manner.

"There is no need to see a large army crossing the border. Our Xuzhou Guard, Xuzhou Left Guard, and the battalion below General Xuzhou are not a large army down there. Those are incomparable to this."

"Those goods are just for farming, aren't they?"

Zhao Jin walked in front, and Zhao Jin's companions walked around, restraining the team and preventing problems with the formation and discipline. These comments from outside came to their ears. Zhao Jin looked calm, while his companions and servants had expressions on their faces.

Everyone looked proud, and subconsciously raised their chests and straightened their backs.

Passers-by were in awe, idle people were talking, and their peers showed unabashed envy. They all felt that in such a neat team, everyone merged into a whole, and one person seemed to have the strength of a hundred people, and they were fearless from now on.

When they arrived at the winery, the servants began to work according to their assignments, and the young people who were hired as winery clerks were filled with envy.

The companions were relatively quiet along the way. When they arrived at the wine shop, they immediately surrounded Zhao Jin. Everyone had excited looks on their faces. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They all seemed to have a lot to say, but they didn’t.

Know how to express it.

It was Wang Zhaojing who smiled and raised his thumb and said: "Brother Zhao is really awesome. We use those methods to train every day, but no one can see the use. I didn't expect to train such a team and have such effects. It's unbelievable.

Unbelievable”

This is what everyone is saying. From this neat pace and incomprehensible momentum, everyone feels an indescribable but exciting emotion.

"Now it's just tangible. If you really want to use it, you have to go into battle. Just like us brothers, no matter how long we spend practicing martial arts, we still have to kill people to be complete." Zhao Jin said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, everyone became quiet and thoughtful. After a while, Chen Huang took a breath and nodded calmly. Wang Zhaojing smiled and just shook his head. Sun Dalei couldn't help but look back.

Looking at the servants who were already busy, Dong Bingfeng and Shi Manqiang were excited, while Ji Xiang and Liu Yong were staring at Zhao Jin.

The winery is not small, and there are many places that need to be cleaned. However, with enough or even excessive labor, it was completely cleaned up within three days, and then various equipment was transported in, including carts of sorghum and other things.

All necessities are also available.

That servant's walk attracted the attention of almost the entire Xuzhou. Everyone knew that Zhao Jin was able to train troops, and his servants walked like soldiers with a formidable spirit. Then they sold wine shops in the south of the city, bought and made tools everywhere, and purchased sorghum from grain merchants and landlords in Xuzhou.

These two things made everyone in the city know that Zhao Jin was going to open a winery and that Zhao Jin was going to use sorghum to make wine.

The entire city of Xuzhou was waiting to see Zhao Jin's joke. Several large pig farmers inside and outside the city were ready. When Zhao Jin failed to make wine, the wasted sorghum and distiller's grains would be used to feed the pigs.

With Zhao Jin's current information network, it didn't take long for him to find out about the joke in the city. The reason why his elders, subordinates and his friends told him this was because they didn't want him to do this and it was obvious that he would fail.

business.

But Zhao Jin remained unmoved and turned a deaf ear to all this.

Finding that Zhao Jin did not listen to the advice, everyone did not continue to persist. The partners all felt that even if they could not do it, it would not matter. The action of more than a hundred servants from the goods yard to the south of the city winery inexplicably gave them endless confidence, and they felt that it was not impossible.

thing.

The attitude of the elders is very simple. It is not good to go too smoothly, but it will be beneficial to learn a lesson.

It turns out that in the arresting room, the chief catcher Chen Wu always drinks tea alone, with several people standing around chatting and flattering him. A month ago, when Chen Wu drank tea, he always liked to call Zhao Zhentang to join him, and the two of them sat across from each other.

While drinking tea, a group of police officers and white servants were also surrounding them, flattering and fawning over the two of them. Everyone thought it was natural.

When chatting every day, they inevitably talked about Zhao Jin's opening of a wine shop. Chen Wu said with a smile: "That boy of yours has a lot of money, so if you lose it, you will lose it. Besides, at his age, he should learn a lesson. It's not a bad thing."

Zhao Zhentang nodded with a smile and said, "That's right."

After saying this, Zhao Zhentang frowned and said with a rather strange expression: "But this guy has never done anything wrong in the past few years. Even if he lent money that spring and bought grain in the fall, he was right. This wine shop is

Maybe it can really be done.”

Chen Wu laughed and said that Zhao Zhentang doted on his son, and everyone laughed and laughed.

After the abandoned Piaoxiang Winery was cleaned up, Shi Manqiang's father led a work team to move in and begin renovations and resettlement.

Yoshika's father is responsible for food and chores in the goods yard full-time, because he earns much more here than running a stall.

The Shi family's blacksmith shop has now become a side business. The main business is to recruit craftsmen from all walks of life to build and renovate houses for Zhao Jin. This also earns a lot of money. According to Shi Manqiang, the whole family has eaten meat and white flour as many times as they have grown up.

Not as many as this year.

The facilities of the winery were quickly completed. A group of experienced winemaking craftsmen were in charge, and they had enough money and labor. Of course, the winery would run smoothly, but winemaking did not happen overnight. It required soaking grains, initial steaming, and stewing.

Even if everything is completed and started, it will take nearly twenty days before the wine can be produced.

Seeing how confident Zhao Jin was, Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da thought that he had a unique method for soaking grains and adding koji, so they came to ask Zhao Jin for advice before starting. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jin had no new methods and just asked them to follow the instructions.

Do it the old way.

This matter was known to those who followed Zhao Jin, and everyone became less optimistic about the future of the winery. Some people even thought that the inferior wine produced by Zhao Jin was to be distributed to various restaurants in the city, and everyone was ready to buy it without hesitation.

Just like collecting land payment.

Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da came over every day to report on the progress of the winery, and everything was going on normally.

Zhao Jin focused most of his energy on training his servants. After that "march", everyone was very motivated in training from top to bottom.

As for the family, Zhao San and his wife escaped from famine and were taken in by Zhao Zhentang. They had experienced hard times and of course they knew how precious life was. That day when Zhao Zhentang said he would kick him out if he believed in religion again, Zhao San and his wife were frightened and never dared to do so again.

Go burn incense and make offerings.

After a few days, Zhao San and his wife came to their senses and began to feel sorry for the money they spent to buy medicine and offer sacrifices. During this period, so-called church members Xiangzhong came to look for them, but Zhao San's mother-in-law scolded them all.

In the second half of June, the weather is already very hot. If it is a sunny day, the training at noon will have to be postponed for an hour, otherwise some people may suffer from heat stroke.

The servants understood the difference between left and right, and began to obey the commands subconsciously. Their footwork became more and more decent, and Zhao Jin began to teach them spear skills.

There was originally a debate over what martial arts skills should be passed on to the servants. Zhao Jin of course wanted to teach spear skills, but Chen Huang thought that the sword was better and others were not suitable. Zhao Jin persuaded Chen Huang with very simple arguments.

"First, I only have two spear skills. Second, making spears is much cheaper than swords and axes."

The servants were very excited and curious when they heard that they were going to practice martial arts, because Zhao Jin's spear skills had been rumored to be amazing, and they all thought that they were going to learn some amazing martial arts skills.

They were disappointed at the beginning of the training. What Zhao Jin taught them was very simple. They held the spear and stabbed forward, then pulled it back and stabbed again. Just such a movement had to be repeated hundreds or thousands of times, which was extremely boring.

However, the servants have become accustomed to boring training, and although they find it boring, they are able to persevere.

It was July, and the wine cellar was already filled with koji-added sorghum raw materials, and the wine jars were also transported into the yard of the winery.

In this orderly situation, there is some bad news. The price of sorghum, which has always been very cheap, has actually increased, and it has increased by more than 20%. The grain merchants came to Zhao Jin to explain that because of the famine in Shandong, grain prices have soared.

It is profitable to transport grain to Shandong. Sorghum, which was originally cheap, can also be profitable, and the price rises accordingly.

This incident became the talk of many people in Xuzhou and became one of the reasons for the failure of Zhao Jin Winery.

Zhao Jin was indifferent to this matter and continued to train his servants every day. Few people in the goods yard dared to watch the excitement. Hundreds of people stabbed forward with long sticks at the same time, shouting in unison: Kill, it was too shocking.

, some idle men were even frightened to the point of sitting on the ground.

After "Going Out" read out a long list of people's names, more than twenty servants walked out of the crowd dejectedly.

During the training, Zhao Jin stood on the newly built wooden platform. Anyone below the servants who did not train well or put in their best efforts would be discovered.

"Don't be distracted during training. When you give an order, you must assassinate with all your strength. If you see the real seal, if you are slow, you will be beaten or even killed. The punishment will be doubled next time," Zhao Jin said loudly on the stage.

The two dozen servants who were called out lay on the ground, and the servants in the first row came forward to beat them with long sticks.

Chen Huang stood on the right side of the first row, looking at the team with a serious expression. The others were surrounding the entire team of servants, and they had discovered more than half of the twenty-odd people just now.

Now the servants are full of fear of Chen Huang and others, because like Zhao Jin, they are strict instructors.

Zhao Jin held a wooden stick in his hand and made a standard assassination move. Just as he was about to explain the move, he heard rapid footsteps from the north.

Although there were many people in the goods yard, everyone stood in line and stood in silence. There was no one around to watch, and the footsteps could be heard clearly.

The person who didn't expect to arrive was Zhao San. Zhao Jin frowned immediately. Everyone in the Zhao family knew that Zhao Jin was making a lot of noise in the goods yard, but Zhao Zhentang and He Cuihua had a tacit understanding and never came. Even Zhao San and his wife
