Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Heroic Drunkenness
When he was in the Golden Triangle, one of his subordinates brewed wine at home. Furthermore, he was specializing in brewing high-grade wine. At that time, Li Chuang was young and lively, and his alcohol capacity was not bad. He liked the high-grade wine (not blended) made from pure grain produced by his subordinates very much, so he had asked about this knowledge.
Borrowing what he had learned at that time, and the Zhang Clan was also in the winery, Li Chuang was Zhang Chao and started experimenting. In order to prevent his brother from saying that he was ignorant, he even purposely said that the wine was not good and that he could not create a final sentence to stay in the world. Thus, Zhang Miao no longer cared about it.
The reason why he chose to brew wine was because of Zhang Chao’s brilliance. What was the most important thing in a chaotic world? Naturally, it was the army.
And what did it take to have a strong army?
Reputation, Heart of a Strengthened Person with Extra Seniority, Amount of Tolerance, Iron Blood Pill Heart. These are all important, but there is one more important thing, and that is money.
The so-called military forces did not move, grain first, if an army food and clothing are a problem, want to point to such an army to fight a great war, it is completely impossible. Wine was something that humans usually drank. Even for a few people, food could be eaten on a single day, but wine could not be eaten on a single day.
So it can be seen that the industry has done a good job of the benefits of how much. Zhang Chao chose this industry. Not only could he seize this opportunity to gather wealth, but more importantly, he could not show off his mountains and dew, and could also gain his own fame.
For the aristocratic families in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, they valued literature over martial arts, agriculture over commerce.
Let’s put it this way, you can fight, but the evaluation is just a martial artist who is reckless.
You are a businessman who can make money, but if you are not from a aristocratic family and do not have any talents to be an official, then you would also be looked down upon by others.
Generally speaking, taxi drivers paid less attention to merchants and more attention to farmland. Most of the cremation only depended on how much farmland they had and how much they wanted to rent. In doing so, even if one could support a family, it would be very difficult for one to spend a large sum of money when one needed it.
It was because of this that Zhang Chao came up with the idea of brewing wine. Furthermore, he had thought that if this method was feasible, he would try other things. Speaking of which, he did have something in his head. He wasn’t just capable of that.
Riding on a horse, the Zhang Clan Restaurant quickly appeared in his sight.
This was a restaurant with a two-story wooden building. Because it was large enough, it looked quite impressive.
At this moment, outside the restaurant, there were quite a few people waiting in line. Among them were some servants of wealthy families who had come to buy wine for Master to drink. There were also some women dressed in decent clothes who came to drink wine for their husbands; Of course, there were more robust men. They had long heard that the Zhang Clan Restaurant would launch a new wine called Heroic Drunk today. This wine was different from other kinds of wine. It was extremely strong and refreshing. It was really a must for good drinkers.
In addition, there was a saying that circulated in the streets before, that is, “Men do not drink hero drunkenness, but come to the world in vain.”
Just this sentence alone could explain a lot of things.
Of course, all of this was arranged by Zhang Chao, before the product appeared, advertising first, this set of very common theory in later generations, in the present is still very effective.
Sure enough, with the preparations made beforehand, when the Zhang Clan Restaurant launched Heroic Drunk today, the scene became exceptionally lively, and the streets were also blocked.
“Move aside, the Zhang Clan’s Second Childe is here.” Just as everyone was still crowded, thinking of snatching a good seat, a commotion suddenly came from behind them. Then, Zhang Chao, who was riding a white horse and dressed in white, appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
The white-clothed white horse’s white skin instantly attracted bursts of focused gazes. At the same time, countless young women in the corner were looking at this place with crimson faces. It was as if a beautiful woman was loved by a man. A handsome man was also very favored by women.
Zhang Chao thought that today would be very lively, but he didn’t expect it to be so lively. Originally, he thought that the Yellow Scarf Chaos had begun, and the people did not have so many thoughts. But now, it seemed that he was mistaken. The people’s personality of joining in the fun was not easy to change. Even though there was a war outside, it still could not stop them from pursuing certain things crazily.
However, having too many people was naturally a good thing. Zhang Chao, who had once been a general, did not have stage fright and was even slightly excited.
He knew that there wasn’t much time left for him now. The chaos of the yellow scarf had already begun. Not long after, it was the chaos of Luoyang. Then, it was Dong Zhuo entering the capital. After that, it was the vassal segregation. If he still couldn’t have his own power at that time, then the only thing left was to be slaughtered and leave his fate in the hands of others.
Zhang Chao didn’t want such a thing to happen to him.
As a person who has come to the 21st century, he has a natural yearning for freedom. As the saying goes, my life is up to me.
Not to mention, compared to others, Zhang Chao had too many advantages. The trend of history, the understanding of civil servants and generals, and all sorts of fantastic ideas. If he could not obtain a shelter in front of such advanced knowledge, it would be better to directly find a tofu and die.
The appearance of Hero Drunkenness was to explore the path for his own ideals. What he needed was not only a process of accumulating money, he also needed to use this to recruit more heroes. There was no doubt that good wine was one of the good methods.
Zhang Chao turned his mind and looked at the crowd outside the Zhang Clan Restaurant. He couldn’t help but find the feeling of leading the army to mobilize.
Back then, he had shouted wildly at thousands of people in the open space in the dense forest. He could be considered to have some experience, but those young soldiers had been replaced by Han Dynasty citizens.
“Villagers, zhang chao learn to do propaganda in the streets of the future generations of salesmen, loudly shouted.
Not to mention, this seemingly ordinary move had indeed caused a sensation.
At that time, people valued agriculture more than commerce. The status of merchants was very low. Not only would the government exploit you, even ordinary people looked down on you. This was also the reason why many people in the Scholar Clan Forest only relied on farmland to collect rent and did not do business.
In this way, the business was not very developed at that time, and the person who sold the goods paid attention to buying low and selling high, earning the difference between the prices. Who would have thought that Zhang Chao would buy more and give more?
It was precisely because everyone had never come into contact with him before that they were attracted to him at first glance.
In addition, Zhang Chao’s older brother, Zhang Miao, was now Chen Liu’s satrap. In the future, Zhang Chao had to rely on the Zhang Clan’s contribution to prevent the chaos of the yellow scarf. With the support of the Zhang Clan, someone quickly began to squeeze towards the Zhang Clan’s restaurant. Fortunately, he had thought that such a thing might happen before. Zhang Chao had also arranged for people to get the hero drunk so that nothing chaotic would happen.
Seeing the people squeezed into the restaurant to consume, Zhang Chao had Bai Tong hang the song she had just cooked in the lobby of the restaurant. Then, she looked at the people who had obtained the pillar of heroes with genuine joy on their faces, and couldn’t help but sigh with admiration.
The people will always be the easiest to satisfy. They only need to have clothes, shelter, food, and land to be satisfied. Even if you oppress them harshly, as long as they can live, they will not want to rebel.
However, after experiencing the chaotic battles between the various dukes at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, such a group of cute civilians were really hit hard. The population changed from 60 million at the beginning to 8 million at the end of the late Three Kingdoms and the beginning of the Jin Dynasty.
Thinking about it made people’s hearts go cold.
At that time, there was no science and technology, A place needs people if it wants to develop, Only when there were many people would there be no desolate land. However, few of those dukes would pay attention to such things. Some people also thought that it would be difficult to turn the situation around. Only then did the Five Hu Rebellion after the Jin Dynasty appear. The entire Central Plains region began a turbulent period of separatist regimes and chaotic warfare that was rarely seen in history for more than 130 years.
A country should be people-oriented. No matter how advanced your technology is, if there is no population, even if you create a civilization, you are still marrying someone else.
Knowing this, Zhang Chao decided not to let such a thing happen, that is, he couldn’t go back, so he tried his best to adapt to the new environment.
There was a saying, “Survival of the fittest is precisely this principle.”
“Second Childe, what are you thinking?” It was unknown when Bai Tong had already arrived at Zhang Chao’s side. Just now, she noticed that the smile on the young master’s face, which she would serve for the rest of her life, had actually disappeared rarely. Instead, it was like she was worried about the country and the people.
Being said by Bai Tong, Zhang Chao also turned back to reality. He saw that there were already quite a few people carrying two kilograms of Hero Drunk out of the restaurant. Others simply asked for a table in the Zhang Clan restaurant and ordered a few dishes. He then began to drink. He chuckled and said, “It should be quite good. Let’s go and take a look at the winery.”
