Without alcohol, Liu Tan didn't dare to think how many people would die from the infection. He took a deep breath and said, "Then go raise money, ask Wusun if there is any alcohol, and if they have it, even if we buy it from them OK!"

Huo Guang immediately sent someone to inquire, but he still said in a low voice: "Your Highness... it's best not to have too much hope. Their food is precious here, and they don't know how to use food to make wine."

"Nobles must have it!" Liu Tan stared at Huo Guang and said, "No matter how much it costs, buy it!"

Huo Guang was slightly taken aback: "Your Highness?"

Liu Tan stabilized his mind and said: "These soldiers, especially those with minor injuries and physical disabilities, as long as they can survive, they are veterans. They have experience, and they will always be useful in the future."

Liu Tan knew that such treatment regardless of cost was different from the current values. After all, how much would he have to pay even if the person died?But if it is treated, I don't know how much it will cost.

He must find a reason that can convince others, otherwise his behavior is enough to arouse many people's doubts.

Huo Guang didn't think too much about it, he just felt that Liu Tan's problem of emphasizing love and loyalty had committed again.

But he wasn't trying to comfort Liu Tan either. He could see that Liu Tan was in a bad mood, and it would be fine if he could make him feel better by spending some money.

Huo Guang immediately sent people to search for all kinds of wine, and said that he wanted grain wine.

It’s just that it’s just a small village after all, and even Liu Tan and his group’s tents occupy a larger area than the village. In such a village, the richest person is probably the village leader, and the leader’s family... There is only a little Just bad wine.

Huo Guang frowned and asked, "Your Highness, wine...is it okay?"

Liu Tan: You have touched my blind spot of knowledge.

He thought about it carefully. Although the current wines are all purely made from grapes, they are also fermented from grape juice. It should also contain alcohol, but the alcohol content is low, and it is not known how much alcohol can be extracted. I don't know if the original distillation can be extracted.

But at this time, he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, gritted his teeth and said, "All of them."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and called Jiang Chong, "Now immediately organize the uninjured people to build a rammed earth house, and ask for a stove."

Extracting alcohol requires a device. The device that Liu Tan asked to build before can basically achieve semi-automation, and the demand for labor is not so high.

It's just that the conditions are tough now, and he can only use the most earthy method to keep burning the big pot, and then let people stare at it to collect the liquid that condenses on the lid.

Such efficiency is undoubtedly low, and even almost all the methods of distillation are exposed.

Liu Tan knew it was dangerous, so he naturally sent heavy troops to guard it, but he didn't know if he could hold it.

But compared to the process of distillation, isn't so many human lives more important than this?

What's more, how many people outside the Great Wall have the courage to use wine to distill alcohol?If they use grain wine, they need to pay a huge price to get it. Whether it is manpower or physics, they can't get alcohol at the cheapest cost like the big man.

Probably because Liu Tan has spread the word that it is used to make medicinal wine and save people, so those soldiers who are still intact are basically building this rammed earth house non-stop to save their comrades.

That night, after Liu Tan ordered to go down, he went to the wounded barracks. Originally, Huo Guang and Jiang Chong tried their best to stop him, but... they didn't stop him.

It was also the first time that they discovered that their fifth prince was actually soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Liu Tan was willing to listen to them before, probably because they were reasonable.

But now he thinks he is right, so no one can stop him.

Liu Tan felt that he had to go and have a look, at least to give these people hope.

Of course, he didn't want to go through the motions. He just went to personally announce the plan for the resettlement of the wounded that he had said before, and reiterated again and again that he would also take care of the disabled for a lifetime.

He reiterated that he seemed to have seen this before coming here, saying that if the compensation is not in place, the suicide rate of disabled soldiers returning to their hometown after retiring is very high.

Of course, he will commit suicide if the pension is in place, because it is no longer possible for him to make any contribution to the family, and he has an extra mouth to eat, and may even need to take medicine due to major trauma, which will increase the burden on the family.

After all, this is an era when the industry is very backward. Apart from some simple handicrafts and farming, the common people basically have no other livelihood to do.

When a disabled soldier suddenly becomes disabled from a normal person, there will be a huge gap in his heart, and he may not be able to think about it. In addition, he realizes that he is now a burden to the family, a waste, and suicide has become their only way. .

Liu Tan didn't want to see such a result, probably he still couldn't really take the identity of the royal family, and couldn't treat the dead as cold numbers.

After Liu Tan reiterated, he found that the spirits of the soldiers were much better.

After Huo Guang and Jiang Chong walked through all the wounded barracks with him, Huo Guangcai said: "Your Highness, I know His Highness is kind, but even so, I shouldn't promise to support them for free."

Jiang Chong on the side rarely agreed with Huo Guang, nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Highness, they are grateful to His Highness for Sheng Mi's kindness against Mi Qiu, but they may start to blame His Highness after a while. This is not a long-term solution."

Liu Tan stopped in his tracks, and when Huo Guang and Jiang Chong thought he was going to be unhappy, he said tiredly and hoarsely: "It's my fault, but I'll wait until I go back and I'll find a way to give them a break." a subsistence job, and then give them a portion of the allowance every month, so that’s it.”

Huo Guang had already prepared a long speech to persuade Liu Tan, but unexpectedly, Liu Tan admitted his negligence very simply, and came up with a solution in an instant.

Such traits surprised both Huo Guang and Jiang Chong. They suddenly realized that Liu Tan might be politically immature and easy to act emotionally, but in terms of personnel handling, he could definitely outshine the officials of the DPRK and China.

Huo Guang secretly remembered that he decided to report to Liu Che when he went back. It would be a loss for such a prince to stay in the palace, so it is better to give him a fief immediately and let him manage it.

At that moment, Huo Guang even thought about how to write a letter.

Back then his brother Huo Qubing also did this kind of thing, so he can make use of it.

However, Huo Qubing at that time was to help the prince eliminate the unstable factors, and Huo Guang let Liu Tan leave to let him shine for the construction of the great man.

The only thing I'm not sure about is whether Liu Tan will be happy.

After Liu Tan arranged everything, Huo Guang persuaded: "Your Highness, go and have a rest."

This night, he was fleeing first, then Xiao Kunmi was shot by an arrow, and now he has to deal with the wounded. Huo Guang knew that Liu Tan's mood was always tense without guessing.

Even if it was the crown prince Liu Shi who encountered this matter, Huo Guang would be worried that Liu Ju would not be able to handle it. Liu Ju had been the crown prince for so many years and had seen a lot.

Liu Tan...he was really worried, how could he bring back a frightened little prince to His Majesty?

At this time, Liu Tan showed a bit of toughness that could not be seen in ordinary times. He waved his hand at Huo Guang and said, "I'll go and see Lu Xuan again, or I won't worry."

Huo Guang was helpless, but he couldn't stop him, not to mention that he still had more things to do at this moment.

Liu Tan took two steps forward, then suddenly turned his head and said, "Are there any prisoners alive?"

Huo Guang was slightly surprised: "Yes, Your Highness wants to..."

"Ask where they came from."

Jiang Chong, who was on the side, said: "The interrogation is already underway, but these people are so stubborn that they have been refusing to speak."

Liu Tan glanced at him lightly and said, "Find a way to pry their mouths open." After he finished speaking, he was worried that the people below would be concerned about their lives because of his orders, so he said, "I don't care if they live or die, as long as It’s fine if you can ask, and you can figure it out yourself.”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Huo Guang: "In this case, do I have the right to deploy troops?"

Huo Guang froze there, not sure if it was his illusion, at that moment he felt as if he saw Liu Che.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Liu Tan asked again, "No?"

Huo Guang quickly said: "The border guards can be mobilized, but not too many."

If someone else was sent, then naturally he would have to admit that he was unlucky, and wait for Liu Che to give him a reward and comfort after returning, but if it was the prince, generally no one would refuse.

Liu Tan nodded and said, "Send someone to Yumen Pass to call in 500 people."

Huo Guang was a little uneasy and asked, "Your Highness... what are you going to do?"

Liu Tan stood on the spot and said coldly: "These small countries are daring, and even the envoys of the big man dare to snatch them. It's time to improve their memory."
