The incident of Pang Tong being drunk in class directly became the laughing stock of Shuijing Academy.
Even Mr. Shui Jing, who had always been gentle, severely reprimanded Pang Tong when he woke up.
It's a pity that Pang Tong was thick-skinned and didn't care at all about his husband's scolding.
There is no grudge against Liu Mang, the instigator.
A true drunkard, how can he be drunk in life?
"Where did you get the wine?"
"What are you talking about, sir? It's just wine you bought casually."
"Nonsense! Whose wine in these ten villages has I never drunk? It's not as good as what you give me!"
Ever since he tasted the wine given by Liu Mang, Pang Tong found it hard to swallow any more turbid wine.
"Sir, what you said before doesn't count..."
"Don't worry! Even though I don't care, I can open the back door for you!"
"make a deal!"
The two of them smiled knowingly, and Liu Mang was never seen again in morning classes and Pang Tong's classes.
Deng Ai suddenly became a student from a book boy, and he listened very seriously.
Zhao Yun had no idea that some people seemed to have entered the classroom, but actually slipped out of the back door under Pang Tong's cover.
"The strong wine made by the young master is really delicious! Ning thinks he has a good drinker, but he can only drink three bowls."
Gan Ning poured the wine into the iron pot one after another. He, Zhao Yun and Deng Ai were already familiar with the purification process.
"My lord, my lord, and the military advisor asked you to complete your studies at Shuijing Academy and make friends, but you are selling wine here. Is it appropriate?"
Gan Ning worriedly said: "If this continues, you may be called a prodigal by the Lord!"
Liu Mang was overjoyed when he heard this. For the first time, he felt that the word "prodigal son" sounded so pleasant to his ears!
If he becomes a prodigal, Liu Bei will be disappointed in him, and he will not be taken into consideration in the battle of Changbanpo.
Wouldn't it be natural to die on the battlefield?
"Xingba!"
"Master, Ning is just concerned about you. Did you speak too harshly just now..."
"No! I will be a prodigal from now on! Hurry up and make wine, the customers will be here soon!"
Liu Mang's big client is by no means a free prostitute like Pang Tong.
On the contrary, it is the big dog owners in Jingzhou and Jiangdong.
The students' spare time life at Shuijing Academy is very boring. In the evening, they usually have three glasses of light wine and two glasses of light wine, and start bragging.
Of course, what scholars do is called "studying their studies."
Everyone found that the wine provided by Liu Mang was not only delicious, but also good for sleep.
Isn’t it a must-have wine for visiting relatives and friends?
Therefore, in addition to students' daily consumption, they also buy some to take home.
Big dog owners are never short of money, but Liu Mang is short of money!
Liu Bei only had the small town of Xinye, so how much better could his economic situation be?
"Xing Ba, tell the wine buyers that in the future, let their people do the purchasing and transportation of turbid wine for free!"
“Those who are willing to cooperate will be given priority in purchasing!”
“If we don’t squeeze and exploit, where will the profits come from?”
In order to supply the huge demand, Liu Mang even asked Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and Deng Ai to work together to purify the liquor.
The production technology must not be leaked. As for other non-technical tasks, Liu Mang directly handed them over.
"Yes, sir!"
Gan Ning shook his head helplessly. If Uncle Liu knew that the young master wanted to sell wine, I wonder what he would think!
…
Liu Mang has been away from home for two months.
Under Zhuge Liang's governance, Xinye was prosperous.
The employment system proposed by Liu Mang was also put into use with Zhuge Liang's improvement.
This move undoubtedly increased the enthusiasm of officials.
Mi Fang, in particular, worked so hard.
In the second month's merit list, he even surpassed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
This also made Guan Yu understand that people like Mi Fang had done a lot of things, which were not what he thought.
Although he failed to change his habit of looking at people through his nostrils, his attitude towards Mi Fang has also improved a lot.
"military adviser."
Liu Bei was in high spirits on happy occasions and said with a smile: "The prosperity of the new country and the harmony of the generals are all due to you."
Zhuge Liang wanted to shake the feather fan lightly, but then he remembered that his feather fan had been taken away by Liu Mang.
"Your Majesty, these are all your master's clever ideas. Liang only made slight modifications and I don't dare to take credit for them."
"I don't know how Nizi is doing at Shuijing Academy."
Liu Bei was naturally happy when his son was praised.
"Brother! My nephew has returned from delivering a letter!"
Zhang Fei's loud voice arrived first before anyone arrived.
From a long distance apart, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang felt what it meant to be like thunder striking their ears.
"Yide, please show me the letter from the traitor!"
Liu Bei didn't say anything, but in fact he cared about Liu Mang more than anyone else.
But after reading the letter, Liu Bei's smile no longer appeared on his face, and there was even a hint of seriousness on his face.
After Zhuge Liang received the letter, he was also a little at a loss.
"The traitor! This traitor!"
Liu Bei was trembling with anger, "I asked him to study with Mr. Shui Jing! He is doing well. Now he is making wine and selling wine every day, and he is an incompetent businessman!"
"Yide! You and Yun Chang go there and bring that traitor back to me!"
Making wine? Selling wine?
Zhang Fei couldn't walk when he heard the word "wine".
Zhuge Liang felt that something was fishy, and his disciple did not look like a person seeking wealth.
Even though Liu Mang's biological mother, Mrs. Mi, was indeed from a merchant family.
"Lord, maybe there is some misunderstanding..."
"What misunderstanding! What a waste of all my good intentions! This traitor simply doesn't know how to cherish you!"
Liu Bei hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel and said: "Who knows, after entering Shuijing Academy, you should devote yourself to studying and make good teachers and friends! But what has he done?"
Zhuge Liang looked ashamed.
It is the fault of a father who fails to teach, and it is the laziness of a teacher who fails to teach strictly.
It was obvious that he, the master, had neglected his duty.
"Brother, I will call my second brother to bring my eldest nephew back!"
Zhang Fei was so angry that he went to Shuijing Academy with Guan Yu.
"Military advisor! Here is your letter!"
Guan Ping's attitude was respectful and he presented the letter with both hands.
Everyone was happy and angry about Zhuge Liang's ability, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt that Zhuge Liang didn't know how to use troops and was just a white-faced scholar.
"Oh? Shi Yuan's letter?"
Zhuge Liang read it for a moment, and all the gloom on his face dissipated, and then he even touched his hands and laughed!
"Hahahaha! Liang knew that this was the master's plan, and it was just to paralyze others!"
"Why are the military advisors laughing? But something happened to the traitor?"
Liu Bei was nervous, so he asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to pick up Liu Mang, but he was afraid that his rebellious son would waste time, so it was better to keep him by his side and teach him by words and deeds.
"Lord, please look! The young master is called a wine seller, but in fact he has made friends with many wealthy families!"
"My friend said in his heart that even the wealthy families in Jiangdong are willing to be friends with the young master!"
Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he saw Sun Qian coming anxiously.
"My lord! My lord! The Jiangdong Lu family, the Gu family, the Zhang family, and the Zhu family are here to pay their respects!"
"They said...they came to buy the wine brewed by the young master?"
"My lord, could it be that they made a mistake? The young master is clearly at Shuijing Academy..."
Liu Bei was shocked. If he could do business with the four major families in Jiangdong, wouldn't Xinye have money to worry about?
"Military advisor, go and receive him! I will personally recover the second and third brothers!"
"Mang'er has indeed lived up to your trust and used wine to make friends!"
Liu Bei was anxious and rode Lu straight to Shuijing Academy, "We can't let the traitor come back!"
