Chapter 24
"Since you have all decided to join, then collect all the wine on the market and start distilling it. In this way, it can be sold directly to the outside world after half a year."
Zhang Fu originally thought so. Anyway, the method of distilling wine cannot go wrong. After all, there are Du Kang and Zhu Fu. He has explained the method so clearly. If there is a problem again, it will be unworthy of the title of God of Wine.
"Yes, Lord!" Du Kang and Zhu Fu looked at each other. This matter is very simple. 70% of the wine in the entire Guangyang County was provided by the two of them.
Now we just need to stop providing wine to the outside world, and the remaining wine will be enough to support the needs of distilled wine.
"I understand what you think, but this is not enough. Now I have more than 1.8 million five-zhu coins in my hand. You can all use them to buy wine. It is best to buy all the wine near Youzhou!"
Now we are rich and willful. Although we may not be able to buy all the wine in Youzhou, more than 1.8 million five-zhu coins are enough.
After half a year, Zhang Fu was confident that he could make a hundred times the profit. Seeing that their lord was so determined, Du Kang and Zhu Fu decided to take a gamble.
"Yes, lord!" After Du Kang and Zhu Fu received the order, they went back to prepare.
Of course, Zhang Fu delivered the money to Du Kang in the afternoon. At this time, Du Kang had to make the decision. Zhu Fu was a businessman, and his status was not as good as Du Kang, so he could only be an assistant.
"This is the feeling of being a hands-off shopkeeper, so cool!" Zhang Fu laughed.
......
Half a month later, after half a month of training, most of the tens of thousands of young and strong Yellow Turban Army chose to give up and went back to reclaim wasteland to prepare for next spring planting.
Of the remaining 30,000 people, Zhang Fu allocated 10,000 people to guard the other four cities in Guangyang County respectively, and the original garrison could reach about 3,000 people.
Such a force is definitely a lot in the current Han city.
Then the remaining 20,000 people were all incorporated into the Qinglong Army.
Then Zhang Fu selected 4,000 people from the original 10,000 Qinglong Army to be incorporated into the Baihu Army, and selected 1,000 strong men to join the Huangjin Lishi.
So after half a month of transformation, the Qinglong Army now has 25,000 troops, the Baihu Army has 5,000 troops, the Huangjin Lishi has 2,000 troops, and the Beiwei Army still has 3,000 troops.
The positions of the main generals Yang Zaixing, Shan Xiongxin, Huang Chao, and Fu Cunshen have not changed, but there have been some changes in the deputy generals.
Because the number of Qinglong Army has increased now, Zhang Fu arranged Suo Chao and Zhang Guiba to be deputy generals of the Qinglong Army to assist Fu Cunshen in training the Qinglong Army.
Then Yan Rou entered the Baihu Army as a deputy general to Shan Xiongxin. As for the Beiwei Army, Zhang Fu also had his own plans. Only strong men can join the Beiwei Army.
In addition, during this half month, the old and young women and children of the Yellow Turban Army were settled in the five cities of Guangyang County under the arrangement of Zhang Jue, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao, and Xu Wei.
At the same time, they were also reclaiming wasteland, which can be said to be on the right track.
And because those evil families were destroyed, the people lived a good life, and no one dared to bully the people in the territory of the Yellow Turban Army.
Even the ruffians in the city had been subdued and all became labor under Zhang Fu to reclaim wasteland for free.
"My lord, in order to train soldiers during this period, we have wiped out the bandits in Guangyang County and the gangs in the city. Now there is no place to train soldiers." Fu Cunshen said helplessly.
For half a month, in order to train, Fu Cunshen ran from one mountain stronghold to another, no matter whether there were dozens or hundreds of people in the mountain stronghold, all of them were wiped out.
"Well, then just train normally. They have basically seen blood. If they train according to my method, they will become a strong and iron-blooded army!"
The training method Zhang Fu mentioned is the training method of modern troops. It may be very hard in ancient times. After all, the Han army may only train once every three to five days.
Zhang Fu's requirement is to train for six days out of seven, and only have one day off on the seventh day. However, with three meals a day and meat occasionally, many people still persist.
In this era, basically no one eats pigs because the smell is too strong, so Zhang Fu directly moved the pig-castration method over.
He also trained hundreds of pig-castration craftsmen, each with two or three pig-castration knives. This pig-castration can remove the fishy smell, and the meat quality will also be better, and it is easier to manage and save costs.
SoThere was no shortage of meat, and Zhang Fu personally trained a group of chefs. Although some seasonings were missing, there were substitutes.
In this way, the pork was also delicious. When the soldiers ate it, every soldier was very happy and ate it with oil dripping from their mouths.
"My lord, I just received news that the court has transferred Zhu Jun back from Nanyang. It is likely that he is going to deal with us!" Shi Qian also ran in and reported the information he had learned before he could catch his breath.
"This Zhu Jun is a general of the court. His ability is not inferior to Huangfu Song!" Fu Cunshen frowned.
It has only been half a month since the court responded. With the current court team, it is considered very fast.
"Well, but this matter is not urgent. It will take at least five or six days for Zhu Jun to arrive in Guangyang County, so we have time to arrange strategic deployment!" Zhang Fu smiled.
It is no exaggeration to say that the distance from Nanyang to Guangyang is a long way, and Zhu Jun has a large army under his command, so the speed cannot be fast.
Although there must be a time difference between Shi Qian's obtaining the intelligence and Zhu Jun's departure from Nanyang, Zhang Fu felt that there must be time, otherwise the people of Anci County would have reported the news long ago.
"Does the lord mean to take the initiative to attack?" Fu Cun asked.
"Yes, we have just put Guangyang County on the right track. We must not have a war at this time, so we can only take the initiative to attack!"
"It's just that we have deployed in advance, so we can wait for them to tire themselves out. They must be very tired after a long journey from Nanyang to Guangyang."
"And I am sure that Zhu Jun will never think that we will take the initiative to attack, so this plan will definitely succeed!"
"If we can destroy Zhu Jun in one battle, plus we have destroyed Huangfu Song before, these two people together will definitely shock the court. Who knows, they will take the initiative to ask for peace!"
Zhang Fu is very clear about the faces of those people in the court now, including General He Jin, the three factions of the aristocratic families and the eunuch party.
Seeing that he had killed Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun one after another, they would definitely take the initiative to win them over, unless they were fools.
"My lord is wise!" Fu Cunshen smiled. Taking the initiative to attack is indeed unexpected.
