I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

"But after practicing for a month, I realized that this is indeed a good way to train soldiers. In the school field, it is no longer simply to practice with swords and guns, and it is no longer to attack and defend in formation. Sergeants are more flexible!"

"Look at this long line of equipment yourself. It seems weird, but it actually exercises the sergeant's ability in various aspects such as climbing, crawling, and sprinting. With the continuous supply of meat, these idiots are now afraid that they will be able to fight against the Xuanjia Army!"

After Wei Zheng heard Cheng Yaojin's evaluation, he couldn't believe it. What was the Xuanjia Army for? It was Li Tang's direct line army established by the old Li family. It has always been famous for its strict training and outstanding combat effectiveness.

It can even be said that if the Xuanjia Army is dispatched to fight against other troops, it will be considered that the Xuanjia Army is not performing well, but now Lao Cheng says that this group of people can fight against the Xuanjia Army. pass?

Old Cheng obviously knew the power of this evaluation, but he shrugged and said directly,

"Your Majesty also came to see it. This evaluation was made when he stopped by to see it a few days ago!"

Wei Heizi was rendered speechless by this sentence. Undoubtedly, His Majesty is the person who knows the Xuanjia Army the most. Before Li Tang was founded, he was already the head coach of the Xuanjia Army. , It was also the Xuanjia Army who helped Li Shimin block the Forbidden Army who wanted to rush up to rescue Li Jiancheng.

Wei Zheng's mind was buzzing at the moment, how could such a simple method improve military strength?Could it be that so many generals in Datang are always confused in their minds?

Why can't they come up with such a subtle way?Why can't they start such training in the army as soon as possible?

Wei Zheng was so angry that he blew up directly, scolding the generals headed by Cheng Yaojin as if he would be ashamed of Datang if he didn't put a knife on his neck on the spot.

Cheng Yaojin was speechless when he heard Wei Heizi's familiar scolding, but he didn't answer back. When Wei Zheng got tired of scolding, he said leisurely,

"Shopkeeper Xiaozhang's method, of course, I don't know, and neither do other people. However, similar methods, in fact, not only I know, but also other people, and even we all know the method of the Xuanjia Army's training. question!"

"Who will feed and drink these tens of millions of strong men? Not for a day or two, but for a long time? This strength is not for nothing. It has to be raised by meat and then beaten by training. Apart from Army Jia and the shopkeeper Zhang in front of you paying for it themselves, which other army in Datang can afford such consumption?"

Wei Zheng was speechless by Cheng Yaojin's words, this is an unsolvable problem, no matter how good the military training method is, it is nothing more than training the sergeants in a different way, and the only way to really improve these sergeants is now. Eat and drink to keep your body up to the demands of training.

In fact, the reason why the Xuanjia Army was able to outnumber five, apart from hard training, is definitely one of the important reasons for the sufficient supply.

After Wei Zheng thought of this, he looked at Cheng Yaojin with some embarrassment, and said awkwardly,

"Master Cheng, I just fell victim to Meng Lang, and I'm still looking at Haihan!"

Cheng Yaojin laughed twice without hesitation, looking extraordinarily heroic, then slapped Wei Zheng's shoulders twice, and said loudly,

"I can make you, Wei Heizi, apologize, and the scolding just now was not in vain!"

Forget about Wei Zheng's shoulders right now, the whole half of his body was numb from Lao Cheng's slaps just now, but he is just like this. put.

It's not the first time he has dealt with this group of veterans, ruffians and veteran killers. This group of people rarely fight with you. They are not good at and don't like this kind of approach. They are more used to doing it.

Wei Zheng hated this habit, or rather, all the civil servants in the court hated this habit, because even if it was at His Majesty's banquet, they wouldn't fight once or twice over a glass of wine or a dish. up.

On the contrary, His Majesty was noncommittal about this kind of behavior, after all, he himself was actually a military commander who believed in keeping his hands down while keeping his mouth shut.

So, just now Cheng Damanghuo took the opportunity to slap him twice, Wei Zheng really didn't mean to refute at all, because he knew that this meant the matter was over.Otherwise, I am afraid that I will die forever.

Chapter 303 The Unbelievable Farmer

The sightseeing tour of the school grounds ended in such a haste. After all, Wei Zheng is still a civil servant. It is enough to satisfy his curiosity if he comes to see it. , he himself felt weird.

When he left the school grounds and walked towards Zhuangzi, the first thing he saw was a very strange building on the side of the road that was still under construction.

This is obviously not a house for people to live in. No one would build their own house into such a square shape.

Before Wei Zheng could speak, Lao Cheng took the initiative to explain from the side,

"This was just arranged by the head of the house two days ago. This is a public toilet. From now on, anyone who wants to poop or pee is absolutely not allowed to do it in public places. They must go to the public toilet!"

"I heard that it can prevent the plague. Your Majesty has also learned this method, and plans to get a batch of these in Chang'an City!"

Wei Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect so much knowledge to be involved in such a simple matter of shitting and urinating. Although he had read one or two books on medical techniques, he only had some superficial knowledge, so naturally he didn't know much about it. The doorway inside.

However, just because His Majesty planned to make such a thing in Chang'an in the first place, he knew that it was probably true, and this simple building could effectively prevent the plague.

This made Wei Zheng, in addition to lamenting the profound knowledge of the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, also had to admire the other party's abundant financial resources. Even if other people knew about such things, it was impossible for them to spend money directly to build wantonly so cleanly.

He just took a casual look and found that the public toilets were built of blue bricks, and at a glance, there seemed to be public toilets being built at intervals in the whole village, and it was all money!

Wei Zheng didn't say much about the public toilet. He can't judge whether it's good or bad. He has a very good character, that is, he doesn't talk nonsense about things he doesn't understand. while still having a good time.

Regardless of whether this public toilet can effectively prevent and control the plague, at least in Wei Zheng's view, it would be good even if it can prevent people from defecating and urinating in public. After all, it is much more elegant.

Wei Zheng walked straight along the main road into the village, and not far away, he heard the sound of reading books. He turned his head and found that it came from a yard beside the road.

Inside the courtyard are houses that occupy a large area, and when you stand at the door, you can see rows of neat children sitting in the lobby, reciting in unison, while a straight-backed scholar is As he walked, he kept nodding, and from time to time, he slapped a bastard on the head who had memorized the wrong book.

Wei Zheng felt that this seemed to be the most beautiful scenery in the world. Young children and inherited knowledge are the hope of the future of this country. He turned to look at Cheng Yaojin happily and asked,

"Which school is this? It is actually opened in Zhuangzi, and there are so many students coming to learn!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said proudly,

"It doesn't belong to any other family, it's from our own Zhuangzi. The teachers are the accountants in the army and the stewards of other workshops. They take turns to teach. The students who study are all the children in the Zhuangzi. They are all killed by the gang in the school just now. Talented species!"

Wei Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then said incredulously,

"So, the master is from the army, and the child is also a member of the army? What about the tuition? What about meals? What about housing?"

Cheng Yaojin became more and more proud, and now he recognized his identity as a member of Heifengzhai more and more. In this Zhuangzi, even he could feel the vigorous and upward momentum from the daily changes of Zhuangzi. Vigorous.

Therefore, when someone praised Zhuangzi, he felt extraordinarily happy.

"Tuition, meals, and housing are covered by the head of the family. Even the books and pens and ink for study are paid for by the head of the family. As long as it is a child in Zhuangzi, not only does it not cost money, but it must come to study, and if you don't learn, you will be beaten! If it is the parents who refuse to let me learn, then I will beat the parents together!"

Wei Zheng nodded with a smile, especially for Zhang Nuo's style of having to learn, and beating up if he doesn't learn, because he knows that some families would rather their children not study but go to work early or They go out to work to earn money, but obviously the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang doesn't give people the right to choose at all.

And the method is also very simple and rude, if you don't come, you will beat the younger ones, and the older ones will beat the older ones. In the case of Wu's family, fists the size of sandbags are better.

Wei Zheng turned his head to look at the door again, then turned around with a smile and left, just take a look at such a beautiful scenery, it's better not to disturb these children.

Although Lao Cheng was a rough person, he was obviously very happy about this scene, and said with a smile,

"Wei Heizi, don't look at it. The money-making ability of the head of the family is like the God of Wealth is alive. Don't worry about him not being able to support him. Your Majesty should have told you. Now the head of the house is planning to set up a kindergarten. Now Lian Gang will leave. The dolls are already taken care of, you see, the yard opposite is the kindergarten!"

Wei Zheng turned his head and looked at the courtyard opposite, which was under construction, and suddenly realized that this is the kindergarten that His Majesty mentioned. Li Shimin did tell him that this is the latest feat of the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang. A feat that has to be marveled at.

This is no longer simply a matter of financial resources. There are many people who can afford this money. After all, they are just toddlers, so how much can they spend on food and drink.

The most important thing is this thought, which completely solves the worries of the parents of these children, allowing them to go out to work with peace of mind.

After Wei Zheng saw these two places, he felt that this Zhuangzi was even more miraculous than what His Majesty said, and the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang who created all these things was also more brilliant than what His Majesty said.

Wei Zheng felt that he did not come directly to the door, but walked around the village, which was a stroke of genius. This was better than talking directly or listening to people's reports, so he could clearly see the changes brought about by the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang.

He continued to walk forward, and he saw villagers full of vigor and smiles, including ignorant children, gray-haired old people, hardworking women, and hurried men. It is full of energy and radiant.

Wei Zheng walked and watched, and gradually became a little crazy. This incredible Zhuangzi, built by an incredible person, seems to have become a prosperous world.

Chapter 304 The Incredible Workshop

Wei Zheng's face, like a lantern on a revolving door, kept changing expressions, excitement, joy, bewilderment, doubt, and so on!

Even passing by the gate of Zhang Nuo's house, Wei Zheng didn't go in directly, but continued to walk forward, watching!

Cheng Yaojin doesn't care about these things, he is strong and strong anyway, he will take a walk along the way, he knows it, although Wei Heizi's rank is only fifth rank, but in fact this black-hearted guy is quite valued by His Majesty , can not be treated as ordinary small officials.

What's more, Wei Heizi's outspoken character is quite admirable to those in the army. After all, ordinary people can't offend so many people without fear of death.

Therefore, since Wei Heizi wants to take a stroll in the Zhuangzi and take a look, then Lao Cheng will accompany him for a walk, and he should take a walk in the Zhuangzi. Apart from the workshop where it is located, there seems to be no taboo in other places.

After Wei Zheng stood in the street for a long time, he shook his head dejectedly. He also wanted to understand that it was not that other places could not do this, but that it was impossible for others to do so.

Relying on one's own financial resources to cultivate the descendants of the tribe is already an act of benevolence and righteousness praised by the world, let alone a person with a different surname in Zhuangzi.

You know, half a year ago, Zhang Nuo had nothing to do with these people. Even now, they are only working for Zhang Nuo. Helping people is at most Zhang Nuo's food servant, why do you have to pay so much?

This is also a question that Wei Zheng has never been able to figure out. What exactly is this shopkeeper Xiao Zhang planning?Is it worth paying so much?Is it just for people's compliments?

Wei Zheng didn't find the answer, so he shook his head dejectedly, but he had nothing to be upset about. After all, from the results, Zhang Nuo's actions were all good deeds and good deeds for the common people. Accusable.

Wei Zheng didn't bother to think about it right now, anyway, he couldn't figure it out, maybe after meeting that miraculous shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, talking face to face could clear up his doubts, if he had that time, he might as well spend more time in this miraculous Zhuangzi have a look!

If you continue to go down, you will come to a fork in the road. Turn left to the workshop area, and turn right to a large residential area. The residential area has actually been seen just now. After all, the houses in the entire Zhuangzi are exactly the same. Standing there horizontally and vertically like a uniform sergeant.

Today happened to be time, and the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang didn't know that he was coming for the time being, so he just had time to go to the workshop area to have a look, after all, everyone came here.

Of course, Wei Zheng had to admit that he was more curious in his heart, and he really wanted to see what the workshop would look like for someone who could build such a magical village.

He has seen many workshops, and he has to say that no matter what kind of workshop it is, it is frowning after entering it, but now he really wants to see Zhang Nuo's workshop, he has a hunch that maybe he can See a different scenery.

After thinking about it, Wei Zheng resolutely turned left and walked towards the workshop area.

There are guards at the gate of the workshop area, and they are military households in the village. This thing is also on duty, but it is among a group of people who have received simple training from Zhang Nuo.

They can also work in the workshop when they are not on duty on weekdays. Although they are a little tired when they are guards, they are more expensive than simply working in the workshop. It's just patrolling the square area. This kind of thing was often done when they were in the army, and it didn't tire them at all.

The result of Zhang Nuo's strict requirements and the incentive of a high salary is that even if Lao Cheng, a well-known general with a surname, is there, Wei Zheng has to register at the door, not only to write down his name, but also to briefly explain the reason for his visit. Only after that can it be released.

That's not to mention, the guard also arranged for someone to accompany him all the way, or to say that surveillance is the right thing to do, but Wei Zheng unexpectedly had no opinion at all, instead he followed the rules with a smile on his face, making Lao Cheng suspicious and thought that Wei Heizi had sent a message. hysterical.

Wei Zheng glared at him angrily when he heard Lao Cheng mumbling aside, and then sighed,

"A place with rules is a good place. I'm afraid there are no rules, that's the scariest thing! Besides, the rules set by the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang are not intended to embarrass others. They just want to protect their own property. I When it's not a bad guy coming, naturally you have to obey!"

Lao Cheng suddenly realized and nodded, then turned his head and curled his lips in disdain, "Pooh, how often do you, Wei Heizi, slander others for breaking the rules?

Wei Zheng didn't bother with Cheng Yaojin anymore, he didn't bother to try the chicken and duck thing after trying it a few times, the result was too tragic.

What's more, there are more important things to do. The first workshop in the workshop area is already in sight.

This is a large, white and orderly building. This is the first time Wei Zheng has seen such a house, but what surprised him the most is the neat and orderly equipment, the orderly but busy workers, and the pervasive atmosphere. The strong aroma of wine in the air.

He doesn't need other people's introduction, he already knows that this is the workshop of Zhang's Liquor Industry that has been rumored in the whole Chang'an city.

As the only wine producer that has obtained the right to use the royal name, Zhang's Liquor Industry has already established itself in Chang'an City by virtue of its unique taste and rich variety.

Even Wei Zheng, who is not very good at wine, had to sigh after trying several fine wines produced by Zhang's Liquor Industry. In the past, what he drank himself was probably worse than horse urine.

He used to think about what a workshop that can produce such fine wine would look like in his spare time, but no matter how much he thought about it, he never thought it would be like this!

What are those silver-white metal cans for?

Could it be that those silvery tubes are also made of silver?

Is this the secret of Zhang's wine industry producing fine wine?Brewing wine with utensils made of silver?

Moreover, wouldn't the grain that those workers carried be a bit too much, could they brew so much wine at one time?

There is also the big pot standing at the end of the workshop, and the faucets that are running water under it. The water flowing out is probably wine liquid. How did these wines come from?

How could there be so much alcohol, and what were those people adding to it?

Wei Zheng felt that he was a fool, why couldn't he understand anything?

Chapter 305 Wei Heizi Almost Frightened to Death

After Wei Zheng's question was raised, Cheng Yaojin's reaction was to smack his lips, then turned and left.

He knows what a fart, as an old customer of Zhang's Winery, and because of the large number of people drinking at home, he has successfully become a big customer, Cheng Yaojin has no less ideas about this winery.

He wanted to get this secret recipe a long time ago, but he didn't want to sell it. He's not that shameless. He just wanted to make more wine for his family. After all, although Zhang's wine industry has undergone two expansions, it is still not enough to sell. of.

But even though he has been in the Zhuangzi for a long time, and he has not come to the workshop once or twice, he still doesn't understand how it is possible to make wine from this pile of bottles and cans, and how can those added things not be able to make wine? It doesn't look like it's edible.

But after all these things were put together, a jar of mellow Zhang's fine wine was produced.

In the end, Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to be furious, and blamed everything on the magic trick of shopkeeper Zhang.

So, when Wei Zheng asked this question, he literally tore open the bloody scar on Cheng Yaojin's heart, it's strange to be able to give this kid a good look.

After Wei Zheng looked at Lao Cheng's stinky face, he was shocked to realize that he was still Meng Lang. Such questions were probably already the secrets of how he made a lot of money, so it was strange for such an outsider to tell him.

So Wei Heizi didn't say much, rubbed his nose which was a little itchy from the smell of wine, turned around and walked out of the winery.

The next workshop was the papermaking workshop. Wei Zheng thought that he would see some weird machines after entering, but he didn't expect to see big pools filled with all kinds of weird things.

Cheng Yaojin moved closer to Wei Zheng and whispered,

"You'd better not inquire about this thing. The aristocratic family hates this thing so much. His Majesty has also arranged people here. If anyone inquires carelessly about people from the Dushui Supervisor, they may not see them tomorrow morning!"

Wei Zheng shuddered immediately when he heard the words. On the surface, the secret yamen of Dushuijian is a Qingshui yamen that monitors the world's hydrological conditions. It usually does not show mountains or dews, but in fact many people are afraid of this yamen. endlessly.

That is actually the spy in the hands of His Majesty, who only obeys His Majesty's dispatch and monitors every move of the entire Tang Dynasty. Even many courtiers know that they have spies from the Capital Water Supervisor, but they don't know it, because this is tacit understanding Tricks.

After all, the emperor arranged for a spy in your family, and you find out immediately, what do you want to do?What are you planning to do?

For this department hidden in the shadows, all the courtiers avoided it. Now hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Wei Zheng didn't have the heart to continue watching. He hurriedly cupped his hands at Cheng Yaojin, turned his head and left.

As soon as he walked out of the papermaking workshop, Cheng Yaojin grabbed him again,

"Don't look inside any further. There is a workshop where only a few people are qualified to see it. His Majesty has arranged a lot of people there. If you peek around indiscriminately, His Majesty told them to cut it first and play it later!"
