After the New Year was over lively, Xu Changqing calmly treated the Houjiao almost the same. From the fifth day of the New Year, he officially began to inspect various places, especially military affairs.

After all, it's the same old saying: "Politics come from the barrel of a gun."

Only when the army is stable is the foundation of everything.

At this time, although the economic development speed of Haicheng was affected by the Qing army's invasion, many industries lacked stimulation, not too active, and everyone's confidence was not enough, but military affairs were still relatively smooth.

Over the past few years, the various systems of the Model Army have become increasingly perfect, especially the social status has continued to steadily improve. Young people in Haicheng and all surrounding areas are proud to be able to join the Model Army, and military academy is also the cornerstone, which has enabled the Model Army to always maintain sufficient vitality factors.

In addition, Xu Changqing has been guiding the sense of competition between the various departments in an orderly manner. Now this competition has been extended to almost all aspects, which makes the children's vigorous energy vent and hope. At the same time, it is more convenient for Xu Changqing to control, and all the matters are easy to handle.

Including the Houzhai, Xu Changqing is also very sloppy about this "balance method".

For example, Kong Sizhen.

I am not afraid of you being mean, nor am I afraid of you having ulterior motives, but I am afraid that you will always endure and never give up.

Kong Sizhen was young and Xu Changqing tried it a few times to reveal her inner thoughts. Xu Changqing easily found a way to solve it.

Let's go with Dong'e first.

It took more than ten days to travel through various troops one by one and grasp the situation on the front line of the troops. Xu Changqing then summoned the generals to discuss matters, set the time for the "New Year's Competition" in mid-February, and slightly raised the reward for winning the competition, bringing things on track. This is how to feel relieved and have time to take a break from your busy schedule.

Unfortunately, the good days were only half a day. I had just been quiet for a while in the morning, and in the afternoon, Zheng Chagu's handwritten letter arrived.

Zheng Chagu is very concerned about this sea trade cooperation with Xu Changqing.

Including the eldest brother of the official, he also had high hopes for this.

In fact, Brother Yiguan is also a little enterprising. He has actually been eyeing the routes of Nanyang, especially in India and the west.

At this time, no one knows the huge profitability better than him.

Unfortunately, the Zheng family saw that the family had a great career, but there were still many shallow points. He could not defeat one country or even several countries with his own strength, so he had to endure many things even if he was unhappy.

The cooperation between Xu Changqing and Zheng Chagu made him see the dawn.

In Zheng Yiguan’s opinion, what kind of person is Xu Changqing? He is a hero with a strong root. How could his foundation be comparable to the Zheng family?

As long as he hugged Xu Changqing's thick leg, even if the fleet really had a conflict with those white-skinned ghosts in Nanyang, he would not be too weak.

After all, behind it is Xu Changqing and even the entire Ming Dynasty who endorsed it!

Zheng Chagu didn't say so bluntly in the letter, but Xu Changqing easily understood the profound meaning of it, which was a little funny for a moment.

But after thinking about it, it is not surprising that Brother Yiguan has such thoughts.

No matter how rich the Zheng family is, it is still a small family, and it is still too thin. How could it rashly start a war with other countries?

If there is a little careless here, it is very likely that their Zheng family will have no place to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty...

It should be noted that the lessons of the past are here.

Wang Zhi was established in the past, so in the end he still had to lick the court?

He cut his losses and gave up his wealth to the court, hoping to tie the court to the chariot and make real money, which can be considered beneficial to the country and the people.

But in the end, he underestimated the greed of human nature, and eventually died and died.

As for the fact that the Guo family crossed the Taiwan Strait in anger and directly fought with the Dutch people, it was because the Qing Dynasty was forced to do nothing, and there was no place to stand.

After actually having sex with the Dutch, I realized that the Dutch were just like this.

But at this time, let alone Zheng Yiguan, even the Ming Dynasty court would never dare to start such a "wave battle!"

Even if we go forward for another twenty years, it is still not

dare.

Perhaps only Wanli Master at the peak had the courage to truly draw swords against these white-skinned ghosts.

With the support of his father, Zheng Chagu also had a great appetite this time and was preparing to directly expand the original scale of 500,000 and 600,000 taels to the million taels.

Zheng Yiguan has made a clear statement that the Zheng family fleet will give priority to supplying this ocean lineup.

Then there are many detailed lists of goods.

After Xu Changqing looked carefully, he lit a bag of cigarettes and let out a long breath of turbid air.

Zheng Chagu is still very keen.

The main goods in the ocean this time were porcelain, tea, and silk, such as Japanese lacquerware, weapons, armor, including Goryeo ginseng, deer antler, and many other local specialties from the Ming Dynasty. They were not brought much, just the "three old things".

From a personal emotional perspective, Xu Changqing is actually not very satisfied with this.

Because Haicheng has many products, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is at the forefront of the world at this time, but Zheng Chagu obviously has no intention of purchasing this time.

But from a business perspective, Xu Changqing also wants to give Zheng Chagu a thumbs up.

Because Haicheng's products are not famous, they need to "trade the market" first. With Xu Changqing and the Zheng family's strength at this time, it is still very difficult.

Especially this 'first shot'.

It should be noted that even if Xu Changqing and the Zheng family can bear such losses, if they are "dead before they can succeed", that kind of blow will be too unfavorable.

After thinking carefully for a day, Xu Changqing replied to Zheng Chagu the next day and came up with a compromise solution.

Xu Changqing himself invested alone to buy three or four ships of Haicheng products from Haicheng, and Xu Changqing was responsible for the profit and loss.

In addition, in order to alleviate the lack of staff in the Zheng family, some ships will be shipped here in Haicheng, including sailors and soldiers, acting as auxiliary.

After sending the envelope to Anping for 800 miles, Xu Changqing was also a little confused for a moment.

This arrangement is a little stronger, and I wonder if the Zheng family will agree.

If you don't agree... things are hard to guarantee and there will be variables...

...

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Changqing put it aside and went directly to the winery for inspection.

A few days ago, he received news that the winery master has achieved great results in the development of sweet potato wine. He has produced more than a dozen samples, both in the middle and low ends. Especially the "bulk white wine Laobaigan" trial-selected according to Xu Changqing's wishes, which was really good during the period after the New Year and is very popular among the people.

However, high-end products have not yet achieved results, and it will take some time to plan more carefully.

Xu Changqing came to the winery and was shocked to find that Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Zhu Mai, Gu Hengbo, and Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Dong Xiaowan were also inspecting him here.

It seems that these little girls are also very concerned about this matter.

Seeing Xu Changqing coming, the little girl instantly threw away their lofty figures, and surrounded Xu Changqing with tenderness.

How dare everyone in the winery watch too much?

They all bowed their heads obediently and looked at them.

"Haha, Youwei, what are the results? I think everyone is in a good mood."

After greeting the wives of all ages one by one, Xu Changqing smiled and hugged Li Youwei's slender waist.

Li Youwei's pretty face turned a little red. She was actually not suitable for Xu Changqing's domineering and releasing temperament in public, but when she saw that the sisters around her could not hide their envious gazes, she quickly suppressed this discomfort and said with a smile: "Xu Lang, the effect is still very good. Especially the 'Lao Baigan' you named personally has been very effective in our Haicheng these days and is very popular with the people."

As he said that, Li Youwei personally led Xu Changqing to a sample filled with a fine glass bottle, poured a small cup for Xu Changqing to taste.

Xu Changqing took a bite and frowned slightly. Everyone's nerves suddenly rose, especially the masters, who were so arrogant that they didn't dare to breathe any more.

After a while, they finally relaxed a little after seeing Xu Changqing's brows finally unfolding.

Xu Changqing said: "It's pretty good, but I always feel that something is strange."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

That's it."

The master who was in charge of Wang Youbang and from Yelang hurriedly explained: "Mr. Marquis, do you think the first taste is slightly weak, but the second taste is a bit irritating?"

Xu Changqing nodded.

Wang Youbang smiled bitterly: "Marty, this is the difficulty that my subordinates have been trying hard to overcome these days. There are still many benefits to sweet potato wine, which is faster than grain wine, and it is even less than five, six, seven or eight days, but it also has some shortcomings, just like this strength is a bit insufficient. We ordinary people, especially those who need to work hard, often like strong wine. So my subordinates discussed and used some of the sauce-flavored technology of Haicheng Laojiao..."

Wang Youbang is still very skilled and carefully analyzed their original intentions with Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly.

When making products, the most important thing is to be in line with the market and be accepted by the market. At this point, they are already qualified, and this idea is correct.

While thinking, Xu Changqing's head was a little rushing, and his brain was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

When Wang Youbang saw Xu Changqing's face turned red, he immediately understood that another side effect of their products appeared again. He hurriedly explained that because the sauce-flavor technology had not yet been perfected, the wine was a little bit awkward.

For alcoholics, this is nothing, and many people even like this feeling, but people with slightly higher requirements for quality of life are a problem.

Xu Changqing finally found his idea at this time and remembered the advertisements of Lao Baigan in later generations. The most important one was that it was "good but not delicious."

So he directly described this idea to Wang Youbang and the others.

Wang Youbang and others quickly understood what Xu Changqing meant, nodded frequently, and patted their chests one by one to correct them immediately.

Wang Youbang also began to explain in detail how to deal with Xu Changqing, which were all exclusive secrets for several of their masters to hold the box.

Xu Changqing soon realized that now, there are already people with this technology, mainly working hard on the ratio of raw pulp.

It may be suspected of being a skillful person, but it is definitely more conscience than the later generations of blended wine.
