Chapter 68 Brewing
"No, don't make such nonsense. Am I, Sheng Huaian, that kind of person?" Sheng Huaian said quickly.
Or if his good reputation has been tarnished like this, how can he go out to pick up girls in the future?
"You are not that kind of person, so how do they explain it? You can't explain clearly. Don't blame me for being unkind. I will ask your Majesty for a copy of this." County Magistrate Chen pointed at the women with a stern look in his eyes.
"Listen to me and explain to you."
"They are all poor people. I led the troops to suppress the bandits and rescued them from the bandit camp."
Sheng Huaian told County Magistrate Chen about what he had gone out to suppress bandits in the past few days. After hearing this, Magistrate Chen's stern look disappeared.
He was really afraid that Sheng Huaian would be confused and make an unforgivable mistake.
"I've heard about that group of bandits in Tianlin County, but I didn't expect that they did so many evil things. Hey..."
County Magistrate Chen was helpless. He knew that those wealthy families or big shots would raise bandits for their own use. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the local area, but it was not uncommon.
After all, the local aristocratic families are very powerful.
"So, these women need a place to stay, Mr. Chen. Don't worry, I will take care of the food. I just need to provide them with a place to stay temporarily," Sheng Huaian said.
This kind of thing must be arranged by County Magistrate Chen.
"Okay, leave it to me, I'll make the arrangements." County Magistrate Chen did not refuse.
As long as these women were not snatched away by Sheng Huaian.
Arranging only three to five hundred people is a trivial matter to him.
County Magistrate Chen placed these women in an empty house in the west of the city. The owner of this house ran away early when he heard the Rong Di army was coming.
The border is too dangerous. Many people would not choose to live in the border unless they have a foundation and cannot leave.
There are often foreigners knocking on the door, and everyone has an uneasy life.
Sheng Huaian also arranged for fifty soldiers to patrol and guard to protect the safety of these women.
With so many women living together and no one to protect them, the gangsters in the city are bound to cause chaos.
"Are you leaving without permission these days just to suppress bandits? You are so bold." County Magistrate Chen looked at Sheng Huaian and said.
A border guard general who did not guard the border properly went to suppress bandits and rob the state soldiers' business.
"No, this is the five thousand taels of silver I borrowed from you, and I will pay it back to you now." Sheng Huaian returned the money he borrowed from County Magistrate Chen.
"How much did you steal?"
County Magistrate Chen took the banknote and realized why Sheng Huaian led his troops out to suppress the bandits.
"What do you mean by robbery? Can you speak? It's a seizure. Seize, do you understand?" Sheng Huai'an said righteously.
"Okay, okay, seized, how much was seized?"
"I won't tell you!" Sheng Huaian turned around and left.
Looking at Sheng Huaian's leaving figure, County Magistrate Chen gritted his teeth.
"Damn guy, he called me to help me late at night, and now he doesn't even say thank you."
...
Early the next morning, Xiao Chuyi found that Sheng Huaian was back and training soldiers, but some of them were missing.
"Where have you been these days?" Xiao Chuyi came to Sheng Huaian and asked.
Sheng Huaian looked at this somewhat feminine-looking guy and said calmly: "Do I need to report to you when I go there?"
"No need, but please remember that you are the guard of Hexi County. You cannot leave Hexi County easily. Once Hexi County is invaded by the enemy, what danger will it be without the guard? All lives in this county will be lost. Buried in your hands."
After Xiao Chuyi turned around and left, Sheng Huaian curled his lips and said, "Good guy, one of the captains under his command has taught him a lesson."
If he wasn't worried about the background behind Xiao Batian, and Xiao Batian hadn't caused him any trouble since he came, he would have had to give the other party two big tricks to let him know whose territory this was.
After returning, Sheng Huaian taught the Yuanyang Formation to two captains, Guo Xiaoping and Hu Bing, and asked them to train their subordinates to learn how to use the Mandarin Duck Formation.
After teaching the Yuanyang Formation to the two of them, Sheng Huaian's vanity was greatly satisfied in the envious and adoring eyes of the two.
Creating a military formation is something that no number of generals can do.
Sheng Huaian not only created it, but also tested it in actual combat. The two of them started training the army with great interest.
The one thousand people Sheng Huaian personally led were recovering from injuries. Wang Wu had not returned with the fifty people, so he sent another fifty people to guard the women he had brought back.
For the rest, Sheng Huaian let them train on their own.
Now that he has money and food for the time being, he doesn't need to worry about it. But if he trains his troops like this, the three hundred thousand taels of silver and fifty thousand stones of food will not be used for long.
If you want to strengthen the army, you still have to make money.
With enough money, not to mention heavy armored cavalry, heavy armored infantry can also be built.
When the time comes, he will be able to sweep across the Mobei Grassland, harvest enough killing points, and become more powerful.
Everything is for the sake of becoming stronger.
Sheng Huaian saw so much grain and the idea of making wine was out of control.
Wine is a massive consumable. As long as you make it well, you won't have to worry about selling it. When the money comes rolling in, you can buy more food, brew more wine, and earn more money.
If you have money, you can start building heavy armored cavalry.
As soon as Wang Wu came back, Sheng Huaian captured him.
"Brother Wang Wu, I have something I need you to do." Sheng Huaian said.
"Brother Huaian, I just came back, can't you let me take a break? Even oxen and horses are not used like this, right?" Wang Wu was speechless. Why did he have to do all the dirty and tiring work?
"I'm not asking you to plow the land, I'm just asking you to help find some people." Sheng Huaian looked at Wang Wu, he didn't treat him as an ox or a horse plowing the land!
"Tell me, what's the matter, I'm destined to be a hard worker." Wang Wu could only accept his fate.
"Don't be like this, after this is done, I'll take you to Yanliu Tower to see Fairy Qin Yao." Sheng Huaian comforted.
"Really?"
Wang Wu's eyes lit up: "Don't lie to me again, if you lie to me again, I'll never let you go."
"Really, it must be true." Sheng Huaian nodded.
"Tell me, what's the matter!"
"Go and help me find everyone who can make wine in the whole Hexi County, I want to make wine." Sheng Huaian said.
"What? You want to make wine? Why do you make wine?"
"If you want to drink wine, can't you just buy it? Why do you make it yourself?"
"What are you yelling about? I plan to make a brand new good wine, sell it, and then earn military funds to build heavy armored cavalry." Sheng Huaian explained.
"Oh oh!"
It seems that Sheng Huaian is not giving up and wants to build heavy armored cavalry.
"You can also make wine?" Wang Wu looked at Sheng Huaian.
"Hurry up, do you still want to see Fairy Qin Yao earlier?" Sheng Huaian urged.
"Leave it to me." When Wang Wu heard about Fairy Qin Yao, he patted his chest and left.
Looking at Wang Wu who was fooled, Sheng Huaian couldn't help laughing.
He was in control!
See Fairy Qin Yao? He didn't dare to look at that woman for too long.
Unless he broke through to the Martial Saint now.
After Wang Wu left, Sheng Huaian began to think about where to build the winery.
He planned to brew the kind of strong liquor that would be brewed in the future. Once brewed, it would be a golden rooster that lays eggs continuously. The location of the winery could not be sloppy.
After thinking about it, Sheng Huaian decided to build the winery next to the military camp. With a large army guarding it, he would not be afraid of being peeped by thieves.
Then, Sheng Huaian led the soldiers to start building the winery himself.
There were empty spaces on both sides of the military camp, with no residents.
Now he had money in his hands, so he sold the materials and let the soldiers build houses.
Xiao Chuyi saw Sheng Huaian leading the soldiers to build a winery next to the military camp. She didn't know why, and she couldn't ask him. She could only lead the soldiers to train and observe secretly.
The big move here naturally attracted the attention of County Magistrate Chen.
County Magistrate Chen came over and looked at Sheng Huaian: "General Sheng, what are you doing? The military camp is not big enough?"
The military camp of Hexi County was built according to the standard of 10,000 people. Now the garrison of Hexi County is only 9,000 people, which is completely enough!
"Build a winery and brew some wine." Sheng Huaian said while looking at the busy soldiers.
"What? Brew some wine?" County Magistrate Chen thought he was hallucinating and heard it wrong.
As a garrison commander, he didn't train his soldiers well, but wanted to build a winery and brew some wine?
