Time Traveling: I Engaged in City Defense in Ancient Times

"Ji Xiucai is polite. I'm under General Guo's account, and I don't know this gentleman." The big soldier handed over the card and said, "My General Guo is the General of Hussars in Gyeonggi, and he is not the same as the one outside the city." bit."

"My general invites Ji Xiucai to come to the residence in three days."

It was Guo again, and now he has a headache when he hears Guo.Ji Cheng said: "Thank you, General, for your love, but Ji and General Guo have never met before, so please return this post."

Seeing Ji Cheng's refusal, the soldier seemed to have expected it. With the speed of the wind, he stuffed the invitation into Ji Cheng's arms and turned his head and ran away, shouting as he ran, "You still accept this invitation, Ji Xiucai." Come on, or my ass will suffer."

...Why is this leader even more shameless than Marshal Guo.

"Ji Xiucai," the poor scholar coughed and said with a smile, "The soldiers brought out by General Guo really have the same style as him."

Ji Cheng: Are people surnamed Guo so shameless?Then I can't go anymore.

"Su Ming, the servant of the lower household department, heard His Royal Highness Qi said that Ji Xiucai lives here, so he came here to pay a visit," Su Ming said, "Please don't blame me if I'm presumptuous."

Tobe servant?What is this official of the third rank looking for him for?Ji Cheng secretly scolded the king of Qi for not showing his face, but sold him out.

"Lord Su, I'm sorry," no matter how unwelcome he felt in his heart, Ji Cheng respectfully welcomed him into the main hall with the attitude of not offending others.

"Brother Ji, you don't need to be so polite. Speaking of which, I'm still your senior brother." Su Ming sipped a sip of tea and said, "I'm a Jinshi in the 29th year of Mingde, and my mentor is Mr. Lu."

He couldn't help but accept the face of the third-rank official, Ji Cheng said kindly: "Senior Brother Su is polite, dare to ask Senior Brother Su what is the important matter this time?"

"You can just call me Brother Su, you and my senior brother don't need to be so cautious," Su Ming said directly, without going around in circles, "I have already exchanged national gifts with the Nanyu Mission, and this baijiu is not worthy of honor. Young, I had an idea in my heart and went to ask His Royal Highness King Qi."

"I want to open a baijiu shop in the capital. The millet wine with the lowest concentration can produce high-grade wine. Brother Ji, do you see that we can expand the types of wine, potato wine, flower wine, fruit wine, brother Ji. See if this works?"

Who said that scholars in ancient times only knew how to study hard, according to him, Xu Dashan and Su Ming, each of them has very thick business experience.Ji Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Brother Su's method is certainly feasible, but you are an official, and I will take the provincial examination in August, and this business must be done by someone."

"I've considered what you said when I came here. I own [-]% of the cost of the liquor store, and Brother Ji takes up two shares. It's just that my status is inconvenient. I need to think more about who the business is under. .”

Ji Cheng sincerely said that he didn't feel abrupt when he dared to talk about business and even took shares when they met for the first time.He laughed and said: "Brother Su's words are too early, I have no relatives in the capital, and I must go back to my hometown before the provincial examination."

But whoever is an official in the court, who's heart is not full of eyes like a sieve, Su Ming shook off the tea leaves and said: "I personally don't take any money from these [-]% shares, and all the revenue belongs to His Highness. Right now, Long Live God is relying heavily on it." Your Highness, but you also know that His Highness has guarded the border for many years, and the property in Beijing is weak, so it is easy for money to come in but difficult to get in."

He finally understands that the king of Qi said that his property is weak at best, but at worst he has no money and is a poor group.

Now they are focusing on the low-cost and high-profit business of liquor.Summer is approaching, and the vegetable seller can only make money in winter. Everything is expensive in this capital, and he can't just sit and eat.

As for those party battles for the throne, he is still eight hundred battles away, Ji Cheng said: "Then, there is a brother in my hometown who is a good businessman. If His Highness is at ease, I will let him take care of the wine shop."

"It should be feasible, then I will report to the lord first." Su Ming opened the small box, which he did not know where he conjured up, and said, "These are the notebooks and notes I learned and summarized back then, and they should be useful to you. , as a gift to meet my senior brother."

It will only be brought out now, and if he doesn't agree to it just now, the meeting gift will be gone.

Su Ming just threw down a few broken books, and when he left, he also took two jars of Erguotou along with him.In the past, Ji Cheng always felt that these ancient people were all serious-minded and honest, but now, looking at the "Fart Bar", each one is more slippery than the other, and each one is more like a fox than the other.

Sending the third-rank officials away, Ji Cheng scratched his head at the greeting card claiming to be General Xiao Guo. Lin You saw the guests leave, but his brother Cheng looked like a rooster with drooping wings, with a sad expression on his face.

"What's the matter, Brother Cheng?" Lin You asked with concern, stroking the frowned eyebrows.

"It's nothing, I just don't like people with the surname Guo very much," and I don't like Jingcheng too much.

Lin You seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Cheng, why don't we go back to Dayan Village, although the capital is nice, but there are too many people and the place is too big, and it is easy to get lost while walking. "

"Okay, let's go back when it's time for the provincial examination," Ji Cheng said.

He still had an extravagant hope for Zhongju, even though he didn't like the world, but what old Lutou gave him was different from the basic knowledge that Xu Kezhong gave him, and it was real talent and learning.

"Well, I'll listen to you," Lin You lay on his lap.

Five days later, Ji Cheng continued to be tortured mercilessly by the old Lutou.Naturally, he didn't memorize the laws of the Great Zhao Dynasty. Old Lu was like a mirror in his heart. After quizzing him a few times, he scolded him as "a waste of material", and took him for a walk outside the city of Yingdu.

"It has been more than three hundred years since I established the dynasty, and the Yingdu city has been expanded several times to become what it is today," said Lao Lu, riding on a donkey, "Yingdu is divided into inner and outer cities, both of which are guarded by soldiers and horses. , There are three major battalions outside the city defending the capital."

"The commander-in-chief of these three battalions used to be Old General Qiao. After General Guo returned to Beijing last year, General Qiao was disarmed and returned to the field. The military power of these three battalions was temporarily handed over to General Guo, but the nine admirals were Guo Xiaofeng, the junior general of the Guo family. "

Zhong Ding of the Guo family had once been a royal concubine for a hundred years, but now the grave looks as if the smoke is burning out. It was originally the door of the scholarly heirloom, but the only two descendants of the sons all joined the army, and they were both bachelors. "

"I heard that you and that Marshal Guo have some intersections." Old Lu paused and said, "The government situation is turbulent now. I hope you will not make your mark too early and get involved in unnecessary power struggles."

Ji Cheng can somewhat understand the meaning of old Lutou, the Guo family has a century-old family, and in the past, it used to be full of old officials.Now the defense of the capital is under the control of the Guo family, and only the two princes, Liang Kang and Liang Ye, can become great treasures. This Guo family has become a sweet pastry that everyone wants to win over.

Although the Guo family doesn't have a team on the surface, they can't guarantee the character of the person who will be in charge in the future. If they hold grudges, the Guo family's century-old glory may disappear in one day.

"Thank you teacher, the students understand," Ji Cheng said.

"I'm telling you this as a teacher, and I don't intend to make you follow suit," said old Lu Tou, "I'm waiting to study the sage's books every day for the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people."

"His Royal Highness King Yu already has half of Nanyu's blood, and will soon marry Princess Nanyu. Nanyu's heart is clear. If Nanyu's son cannot be crowned a great treasure in the future, there will probably be a bloody battle."

"Knowing that my blood is impure, why do you still marry that Nanyu Princess?" Ji Cheng asked bluntly what the old Lutou said was not considered a court secret.

How can the insidious scheme be as simple as it seems on the surface? Old Lu looked at the majestic city wall in the distance and said: "The mother and son of Yu Wang have been dormant for many years under the shadow of the prince and others without any injuries. How many Nanyu are there?" They have been aided for many years, and when the imperial power has not yet been established, how can they get rid of it easily, they can only be restrained."

This old Lutou was still connected with the King of Qi, Ji Cheng couldn't figure out the old man's attitude, he asked tactfully: "Then there are so many four generations and three princes in Beijing, who can just watch, Princess Nanyu is the prince and concubine? "Or it may be the future queen.

"It's a loss when the moon is full. When the opponent is small and scattered, it's better to give him a chance to make him stronger." Old Lu's drooping eyelids were full of light, "and then clean it up."

It's hard to know how many lives will be filled between the overthrow of the imperial court's schemes.

"I'm not even a Juren now, who wants to get close to the Guo family," Ji Cheng muttered in a low voice, "I will return to Yuzhou in August, and I will never come to this winding place again."

Old Lutou pulled out the ruler from his sleeve like lightning, and slapped it on Ji Cheng's back with a whoosh: "You elm, what are you muttering about, I've tried my best to teach you, just to let you go back to the countryside to farm!"

"What's wrong with farming," Ji Cheng yelled, "If everyone can settle down and settle down in one corner, then the world will be at peace."

"I knew that your head is a wooden Gada, and the imperial power changes in a cycle," Old Lu said with his beard blowing his beard and staring. "How could you, the common people, be able to exchange for the stability of the country."

"If you don't get in the top [-] in the township test, I'll beat you to death," Old Lu held up the ruler viciously, beating Ji Cheng to run around.
