Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

In recent days, Worry-Free Brew had already become popular among the wealthy in the county.

Whether it was the Governor's Mansion or the County Office, quite a few people had tasted Worry-Free Brew.

They highly praised this mellow and fragrant wine.

Many people were also seeking to buy it everywhere, looking for purchasing channels.

Old Qin's wine shop and Nine Sister's Drunken Fragrance House only sold a small amount.

Moreover, the price had been炒 (chǎo, speculated) quite high, and now Worry-Free Brew was truly hard to come by.

Now, Li Yuan had sent him a full hundred bottles.

With so much wine, besides Zhang Kui drinking it himself, he could also offer it to the Governor as a tribute.

The remaining wine would be enough for him to use as a stepping stone to build relationships and accomplish many things.

Zhang Kui became increasingly satisfied with Li Yuan.

He smiled and took Li Yuan's hand, saying.

"Brother Li, don't rush to leave."

"I have good news for you."

"Your certificate of appointment as Commandant of the military outpost has already been processed for you."

"You can take it with you this time, and report to Xihe Fort for duty in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was naturally overjoyed.

The so-called certificate of appointment was the official appointment document issued by the Governor's Mansion.

With this thing, he would be a true Commandant of the military outpost.

Li Yuan quickly thanked this Lord Zuo Siwei.

Leaving Zhang's residence.

Li Yuan naturally headed to Drunken Fragrance House.

At this time, on the third floor of Drunken Fragrance House.

Old Qin was pacing back and forth.

His hand would sometimes stroke his beard, and sometimes he would shake his head with his hands behind his back.

Nine Sister watched with amusement, teasing.

"How many years has it been? I can actually see Old Qin so uneasy."

The old man sighed and said.

"What do you know?"

"These days, too many people have come to me to buy Worry-Free Brew."

"Many of these people are those whom Old Qin like me simply cannot afford to offend."

"If this time, Young Master Li doesn't give me more Worry-Free Brew."

"Those old customers won't spare me."

Thinking of this, Old Qin couldn't help but sigh sadly, and then smiled at Nine Sister and said.

"By the way, Nine Sister, let's discuss something. How about you give me all the Worry-Free Brew this time?"

Upon hearing this, Nine Sister directly rolled her eyes at Old Qin.

"You old thing are really daydreaming."

"Now, this Worry-Free Brew is like the jade nectar of the heavenly Yao Pool."

"Buying a bottle from Li Lang for five strings of cash, I can resell it for no less than seven or eight strings."

"This is a business of picking up money for nothing, who would be willing to give it to you."

Seeing that Nine Sister was unyielding, Old Qin could only helplessly shake his head and sigh.

Just at this moment, the servant ran up.

"Landlord, Young Master Li has arrived."

Nine Sister and Old Qin both immediately got up and instructed the servant.

"Quickly, invite him in!"

And Nine Sister on the other side was even more direct.

Her neckline was three points lower than usual, the whiteness dazzling Li Yuan.

Nine Sister's voice was even sweeter than if it had been smeared with honey.

"Young Master Li, this concubine is the same here."

"However much Worry-Free Brew you have, Nine Sister will take however much."

"Moreover, the price is negotiable."

Looking at the abnormal behavior of the two.

Li Yuan understood that they must be for the [Worry-Free Brew] in his hands.

Looking at the two people's loss of composure, Li Yuan found it a little funny.

He didn't expect that the Worry-Free Brew he brewed was actually so popular in the county.

Forcing Nine Sister and Old Qin to be so obsequious to him.

Li Yuan was satisfied, but he didn't intend to take advantage of the two.

"I brought a hundred bottles of Worry-Free Brew this time."

Hearing that there were a full hundred bottles.

Old Qin and Nine Sister were both overjoyed.

"Good, good, I want them all."

Old Qin danced with joy.

"Old man, you should be more considerate, you can't eat alone."

Nine Sister said dissatisfiedly.

After some arguing, in the end, they each got fifty bottles.

Receiving five hundred strings of cash for the wine, Li Yuan left Drunken Fragrance House contentedly.

Inside a tavern on the main street of the county.

Li Yuan was distributing money to his subordinate soldiers.

There were twelve new soldiers who had followed him this time.

They each received one hundred coins, and everyone was extremely happy.

Before, in the village, it would take a long time to earn so much money.

Following Young Master Li only for a trip to the county, they could get one hundred coins.

With money in hand, these soldiers first asked for leave to go to the city to shop.

Some bought some floral cloth for their wives at home, some bought some candied fruit for their children, and some bought some wine and meat for themselves.

Holding the wine, meat, and cloth they bought, these soldiers felt very satisfied.

Li Yuan also arranged for Cui Ping and several confidants to purchase the grain and rice needed by the winery.

After purchasing the supplies and loading them onto the carriage.

It was afternoon.

Li Yuan and his party left the county town to return to Dongxiang Village.

But just as they left the city gate, they saw many people waiting for them.

These people had only one request, and that was whether they could follow Li Yuan's team on the way.

Li Yuan felt that many people looked familiar, as if they were the people who followed behind the team when they came.

They had safely arrived in the county town in the morning following Li Yuan's team.

Naturally, they also wanted to follow along on the return trip.

Li Yuan didn't refuse.

As long as they didn't cause trouble, it wouldn't matter if they followed.

The return trip went very smoothly.

There were several groups of guys with ulterior motives.

Originally, they saw a merchant team coming and were about to strike.

But they saw that the number of people in this team was at least fifty or sixty.

Among them, there were also many guards holding spears and swords.

These guys couldn't figure out the details for a while, so they could only shrink back again.

There was no conversation along the way, and the team safely returned to Dongxiang Village.

From afar, they saw many people at the entrance of the village looking forward to their return.

Among them were many women and children, who were the families of the soldiers who had gone to the county for the first time with Li Yuan.

Seeing their wives welcoming them at the entrance of the village.

These soldiers hurriedly asked Li Yuan for leave.

Presenting the wine, meat, and cloth they bought in the county to their families like treasures.

For a time, the entrance of the village was bustling with excitement.

Li Yuan transported the grain and rice supplies into the winery.

Just at this time, Xue Baichang came over.

Upon meeting, he cupped his hands and said.

"Congratulations, Young Master Li. Xihe Fort sent someone over this afternoon."

"Let Young Master Li go to the Xihe Fort Garrison Office tomorrow to receive his post."

"Young Master Li has been promoted to Commandant of the military outpost."

"Don't forget the folks in our Dongxiang Village when the time comes."

Li Yuan was also overjoyed.

He quickly clasped his fist and said.

"Don't worry, Lord Baichang, I will be a Commandant in Xihe Fort."

"I will definitely strive for enough benefits for our Dongxiang Village."

Xue Baichang was naturally overjoyed.

The next morning.

Li Yuan had breakfast.

And led four subordinates to Xihe Fort.

Today, he was going to the military outpost garrison office to accept the position of military outpost commandant.

Li Yuan went directly from a squad leader to a military outpost commandant, which was equivalent to a promotion of seven levels at once.

In the soldier system, this cannot be said to be a meteoric rise, but it can also be said to be a steady climb.

So this matter must not be taken lightly.

This time, Li Yuan also had Cui Ping drive a carriage.

The carriage was loaded with a lot of cloth and wine as gifts.

Li Yuan estimated that some bribery would be required to accept the position.

So he made adequate preparations in advance.

Entering Xihe Fort.

Arriving at the garrison office.

Li Yuan first had the four subordinates wait.

He stepped inside.

In the back hall of the garrison office, Garrison Commander Lin Wanshan was with a group of commandants.

Li Yuan was the person recommended by Lord Zuo Siwei.

They didn't dare to be negligent.

At this time, the guard at the gate entered the back hall and reported to Lin Wanshan.

"Reporting to the Garrison Commander, soldier Li Yuan requests an audience."

Lin Wanshan nodded, then waved his hand and said.

"Let him in."

Immediately, Li Yuan entered the back hall of the garrison office under the guidance of a commandant.

After entering the door, he immediately bowed to Lin Wanshan, who was sitting at the head, and the several commandants around him.

"Soldier Li Yuan pays respects to the Garrison Commander and all the Commandant Lords."
