Xie Zhiyuan sneezed several times and rubbed his nose quickly.
"The weather has dropped sharply in the past few days, so you still have to pay attention to your health and avoid catching the wind and cold." Chen Ping reminded.
"I'm in very good health. It's probably the girl from the Ming family who misses me."
Chen Ping looked at Xie Zhiyuan's infatuated face, shook his head and shouted that the sour taste of love is too strong.
I shouldn't have cared too much about it, but I was caught off guard and was stuffed with dog food, so I quickly changed the topic.
"Brother, I'm going to get a batch of alcohol to send to the border army. Do you have any ideas?"
"What is alcohol?"
"Alcohol is purified many times..." Chen Ping explained to him the use of alcohol. Although it may not reach the purity of modern alcohol, it has tried its best to improve the refining. I believe there will be
The effect of sterilization and disinfection.
Xie Zhiyuan quickly said that this is a very good thing, and the soldiers at the front are in need of it.
But when he heard that three kilograms of grain could be used to refine at most two to three ounces of alcohol, he was also very surprised. After all, the treasury is now empty and there is a shortage of food, so large-scale refining is probably impossible.
"Let me know when you are ready and I will arrange for someone to deliver it safely. Don't worry."
Xie Zhiyuan knew that Chen Ping was concerned about the safety of his relatives and friends in the military, and was worried that there would be some mistakes during the transportation process and that the alcohol would not be delivered to them.
With Xie Zhiyuan's help, things became much simpler, and the first batch of alcohol was successfully shipped to the border.
......
On this day, Zhao Jin rushed back to Zhengxing Mansion and met with He Qingxuan and Chen Ping at the wine shop.
"How was your trip to the capital this time?" Chen Ping asked impatiently.
Zhao Jin shook his head and motioned for the two of them to sit down and talk.
"I already went to see Ju Restaurant that day. The owner of the restaurant is named Zhou Chenggong."
"Isn't it Pi Xiu?" Chen Ping was a little disappointed.
"Boss Zhou is not a simple person. He is about forty years old. He seems to live in a restaurant on weekdays. I heard that this person has no wife, children, or any relatives. He seems to have many friends." Zhao Jin reported what he had investigated.
The matter was told.
He Qingxuan didn't believe it, "He is actually in the bustling world, and his heart is outside the bustling world?"
"Maybe it's just a good concealment. At the very least, if you can open a restaurant in the capital, the people behind it must not be simple." Chen Ping analyzed.
Zhao Jin agreed, "This person acts thoughtfully and shows almost no flaws. Naturally, he will not reveal his true identity to a stranger like me."
"Almost?" Chen Ping heard something unusual, "Did you discover something?"
"That's right," Zhao Jin smiled, "He sent someone to follow me when I went to Xie's Mansion."
"Following? He's guarding you!" Chen Ping was surprised and happy.
I was surprised that the other party was so vigilant, and I was happy that they were probably on the right path.
The tighter the guards were on that day, the more it meant that there was another mystery in the building!
He Qingxuan sneered and said: "If it is an ordinary restaurant, why should we take such precautions? Even if it is not a contact point, it will definitely not be too clean!"
"It's a pity that I haven't seen Qi Hongming in the capital these days."
Come to think of it, Qi Hongming is now the young minister of Dali Temple, so it may not be easy to see him.
Chen Ping could see that Zhao Jin was a little anxious and said softly: "Even if we see it, what can we do?"
Without evidence, even if he saw Qi Hongming, he would just stare.
At the end of June, Li Feng wrote again.
[I would like to thank you personally. I have received the alcohol. It is really useful. I was lucky enough to keep my arm. Chen Ping, this is a rare thing. It can save my soldiers on the battlefield. Can you please send more...]
Now that the winery's operation is on track, Chen Ping discussed with Xie Zhiyuan that Zhao Jin would send alcohol to the border army this time.
Firstly, I can meet Li Feng and learn about the real situation of the war in the north, and secondly, I can stop by the capital.
Since Tianshangju has problems, it should be planned in advance, so it is planned to let Tianxiangge open a branch in the capital. Zhao Jin will choose a location to buy a store, and then send Chen Tianrui to run it.
Xie Zhiyuan naturally had no problem and called Zhao Jin to explain some things to pay attention to on the way, including how to buy a shop in the capital and who could help.
......
Northern Territory, Official Road.
Zhao Jin traveled day and night and arrived at the place where Li Feng was stationed after a month.
A checkpoint appeared ahead, and the horse stopped.
The soldiers at the checkpoint frowned and stepped forward, asking sternly: "Who is coming? Do you have a customs clearance document?"
If you walk on the border without a customs clearance document, you will be treated as a spy.
"Yes."
Zhao Jin took out his identity document from his sleeve and gave it to him, saying, "I came from Qianzhou to see a soldier named Li Feng."
When the soldiers were about to step forward, they slowed down slightly after hearing this.
"Are you looking for Captain Li?"
Border, Wanchang City.
There was a big battle just a few days ago. The battlefield was filled with smoke and there were broken arms and limbs everywhere. The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.
With the heavy armor pressing down on him, Li Feng panted heavily and glanced around solemnly.
"Report the number of casualties as soon as possible. And send a team of people to the northeast to keep an eye on the point, beware of Langya taking advantage of the situation to make a sneak attack."
The soldiers beside him nodded, "Colonel, General Ranger said that the imperial court may still recruit troops for a while."
Li Feng opened the curtain, strode into the tent, and took off his heavy armor.
He sat on the ground and took a long breath, and then said: "Langya has been moving frequently recently. I'm afraid there will be a big war soon, and more troops are expected..."
Just as he was talking, the curtain opened again, and a young general ran in.
"Captain!" The young general said with a happy face, "Someone is coming from your hometown, Qianzhou!"
Li Feng stood up suddenly and rushed out.
"Finally here, let's go!"
The last time he broke through the barrier, Li Feng broke through with thousands of dead soldiers and almost died himself.
At that time, he had prepared for the worst, so he wrote letters to Chen Ping and his family, saying that he was fine, but in fact he was seriously injured.
Who would have thought that this letter to Chen Ping would actually save his life.
Chen Ping didn't know how to make something called alcohol, and when applied to the wound, it could stop the ulcer.
Someone in the room almost had half of his arm chopped off and had a high fever for days, but after using the alcohol, he was finally brought back from the hell.
Li Feng was so surprised that he sent a letter back, hoping that Chen Ping could send more alcohol to the front line.
After waiting for more than a month, today is finally here.
He couldn't wait to lead his subordinates to the big tent, made an outing report to the deputy general, and immediately led the people over.
After entering the border customs, you need to register with the above for entry and exit.
This is not only to prevent deserters, but also to worry about someone liaising with foreign enemies.
Li Feng left in a hurry, not noticing that not far away, General Ranger was passing by with his men on inspection.
General Ranger couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Li Feng running away with joy on his face.
"He cut off General Beidi's head? He smiled so happily."
The deputy general just opened the curtain and came out. Hearing the words, he said: "Hahaha, it would be great if it was true. Captain Li has someone at home, and he is anxious to go out to pick up the goods."
"What kind of goods?"
All the Ranger General can think about is clothes and food, which are most in short supply on the border.
But the deputy general pondered for a moment and walked forward.
"General, do you still remember that after breaking through the barrier in the First World War, Lieutenant Li got a thing called 'alcohol', which saved the lives of many wounded soldiers!"
When General Ranger heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he looked excited.
