As the owner of a tavern under the banyan tree, after operating this tavern for three days, Li Chenan let go and became the boss of the hand.

Although there are not many people in this tavern, they all work together in close cooperation.

Li Xiaohua's mother urged Sanniang to adapt to the huge daily income of the tavern. When the tavern opened, she sat at the counter and started selling the brands.

There are only 100 brands of wine per day.

If guests entering the tavern want to drink, they will spend 200 cents to buy a brand, and they can only buy one brand.

Until one hundred brands are sold out, it means that the wine is sold out today.

The tavern will no longer receive new guests, and will close when the drinkers inside finish the tavern.

Cuihua has mastered the winemaking technology. Every morning, the tavern is closed. It is time to brew wine. It is urging Sanniang to burn the fire and Li Xiaohua cuts the materials. Cuihua is responsible for the command and judgment of each step.

In the afternoon, the tavern will open, and Cuihua will be responsible for the wine-making and delivering wine in the shop. Li Xiaohua will sit at the back door of the tavern in case anyone is provoking trouble.

This is the official staff of the tavern now.

Although there are few people, they are orderly.

Li Chenan, the shopkeeper, was so idle.

He still maintained his daily morning jogging exercise, and the effect was quite obvious. He felt that his strength had increased a little, his muscles were tighter, and his ligaments gradually opened. At least when he was whipping his legs, his feet could reach the height.

He came back from running early this morning and just finished washing up when someone came to the tavern.

Liu Zhuo!

The tavern has been open for five days since its opening. This is the first time Liu Zhuo has visited, and it was in the morning.

So he didn't come to drink, but Li Chenan still made a bowl of wine and placed it in front of him.

"My teacher left the day before yesterday," Liu Zhuo picked up the bowl of wine and sniffed it deeply. Although he was surprised that the wine was as mellow as the rumor, his face did not show any signs. "My teacher went to see me off for me before leaving, and said goodbye to Huajianting, three miles outside the East City."

He couldn't help but take a sip of the wine and tasted it for a full ten breaths.

"My teacher told me that the importance of Guangling is that it is the western gateway of Kyoto."

"Kyoto Yujing City is connected to Guangling City by the Yuguang Canal, and Guangling Prefecture is connected to the Yangtze River in the south and north of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Guangling Prefecture has played an extremely important position from ancient times to the present, both economically and militaryally."

He took another sip of wine, but Li Chen'an felt a little confused.

These things are very shallow in memory, but he didn't care about them now, because his tavern is too small now. He originally wanted to live a comfortable life in this tavern, but he became the embroidered clothing envoy of Lijingsi. For his own safety, he wanted to get all the 800 people in the Lijingsi branch of Guanglingzhou, so he had the idea of ​​expanding the spring output of painting screens.

Now it's just an idea.

His plan is to save enough money this year and then go to the suburbs of the city to open a winemaking workshop.

So when he originally wanted to go around this world, at least two years later, there was no other thing involved, just to leave some of his own footprints in this world.

So he didn't know what Liu Zhuo said had anything to do with him, so he was still just listening.

"During the Jinghua period of Ningguo...that is, before the great virtues, Ningguo suffered a war that almost destroyed his country."

"It was not the deserted people from the Northern Desert going south, but the Qiang people from the Western Regions. There were thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, but now they have been unified into one country, which is called Xiye Kingdom."

"Xiye is warlike, no less than the Great Wilderness Country in the Northern Desert."

"During the Jinghua period, the 36 countries in the Western Regions led 300,000 troops to attack Ning, and drove straight into the road, and reached Linshui Pass in Guangling Prefecture. There were few rivers in the Western Regions, and most of their soldiers were infantry and were not good at water battles."

"Ningguo raised all the troops from all over the country and fought to the death with the Western Regions coalition forces on the Linshui Pass Yangtze River... Finally, the victory was terrible. The remaining 80,000 coalition forces in the Western Regions retreated from Ningguo, and then the Western Ye Kingdom was established."

"Ningguo was greatly injured in the national strength because of the war. Fortunately, Shang Gong was born accordingly. He worked hard with the Emperor Dade to manage the trauma. It took him thirty years to smooth out the trauma, and Ningguo gradually became stronger again."

"Although the southwest invasion of Tubo occurred again in the 13th year of Jingtai, the battle between General Zhongli Po and Mrs. Fan was not affected by the war in Ningguo."

"It's been a hundred years since Ningguo's peace, but now..."

Liu Zhuo drank all the wine in the bowl in one sip, lifted up his sleeve and wiped his mouth, showing a smile, "I told you this, the teacher asked Brother Wei to tell you this."

"I think the teacher is extremely important to you, or the teacher smells some different smells, hoping that you can seek benefits and avoid harm."

Liu Zhuo did not finish his words, and the lingering sound of the three words "but now" is still lingering in Li Chenan's ears.

Of course, the meaning of this sentence is very clear. Ningguo is probably facing some dangers that he does not know yet.

However, these are still not a big deal in Li Chen'an. So what if Ningguo is destroyed?

Although he opened a tavern in Erjinggou Alley, deep down he was still an outsider.

At least now he did not feel a sense of belonging to Ningguo.

Besides, he didn't have the ambition to turn the tide like that Prime Minister Shang.

"Brother Hua's meaning, I understand."

"Since that's the case, I think Brother Liu should strengthen military defense against Guanglingzhou, at least it will not hurt."

Liu Zhuo laughed at himself, "Er Yi wants to do something, but...Er Yi is also willing but not capable!"

Li Chenan was a little puzzled, thinking that as the magistrate of the highest commander of a state, he was also a member of the country in his previous life, so why would he be restrained?

After Li Chenan's confusion, Liu Zhuo stood up, took two steps, and stood in the yard.

"Guanglingzhou is mainly a naval army stationed in Jiangcheng, but in recent years, the Ministry of War has not allocated much money to maintain those warships, and has not built new warships."

"Even the most basic food rations for the soldiers are unsustainable."

"You said, what can I do if I do?"

Li Chenan was stunned, "The national treasury is so poor?"

"It was not poor at first, but since the emperor ordered the construction of Changle Palace in the east of Yujing City ten years ago... let alone the national treasury, even the treasury was not enough to make ends meet when it heard it."

Li Chenan was stunned.

So how big is the Changle Palace?

No wonder Li Jingsi has not paid any money for three years.

No wonder Hua Manting is worried.

If another war occurs at this time, Ningguo will be afraid that it will be vulnerable!

"So ridiculous?"

"Your brother is careful! These words must not be heard by the people of the Yulong Society, otherwise they will definitely bring disaster to you!"

"What will be the ichthy dragon?"

"A department founded by Prime Minister Ji Tai of the dynasty, which is similar to that of Li Jingsi. He is a fish and the emperor is a dragon. What he does is to eliminate dissidents!"

"...Isn't this Ji Tai covered the sky with one hand in the court?"

"Of course, otherwise why would the second prince dare to be unscrupulous!"
