Lu Yan learned the craft of making vodka in Russia.
After all, in the severe cold winter, if there was no strong liquor to keep warm, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would have "rebelled" long ago.
As a former marshal, Lu Yan also personally saw how vodka was made.
The method is not too difficult, but it is not available in Westeros today.
But when it comes to selling wine, the only competitor is Qingting Island.
This island is famous for its wine production.
In particular, Qingting Island golden wine is the most sought-after wine among the nobles of the seven countries, and the price is also extremely expensive.
However, what really makes the Redwyne family one of the most influential nobles in the Reach is obviously not the wine, but the Arbor Fleet.
This fleet, together with the Royal Fleet and the Iron Fleet, is known as the three major fleets of Westeros. It is an important maritime force that can influence the situation of the Seven Kingdoms.
On land, Lu Yan could dig holes and bury as many as the Redwin family from Qingting Island came to.
But at sea, haha, your old man has the final say!
After careful study, Lu Yan decided to distribute the supply of vodka. After all, it was impossible for him to go to the continent of Essos to slowly negotiate with the city lords just to sell vodka.
A month later, a large amount of distilled vodka was produced,
Looking at the wine stored in the barrel, Lu Yan couldn't help but smile, because these are the capital for his future expedition to Westeros.
After the Redwin family of Qingting Island learned the news through the raven, they immediately sent an envoy to arrive.
After drinking a glass of wine, the messenger gave a thumbs up with a red face and said: "This wine is really exciting!"
Then he fell straight under the table,
Looking at the other party, Lu Yan glanced at the bottle curiously, then stared at the maid and said, "Didn't it say 40 degrees? Why did I get it wrong?"
"Sorry, Lord Marquis, I was not careful."
Looking at Lu Yan in fear, the maid quickly knelt on the ground,
"Forget it, it doesn't matter!"
After hearing the maid's words, Lu Yan just waved his hand lightly. He couldn't possibly kill someone for such a trivial matter. He was not a devil!
But this messenger’s drinking capacity is not good. Have you ever seen a lot of people drinking “combustible oolong tea” as water?
The next day, after sobering up, the messenger looked excited and wanted to sign a supply agreement.
However, Lu Yan was asked to leave it to Bachelor Calasso to discuss.
After all, every bachelor who comes to serve a lord's family has a lifelong tenure. It is normal for a senior bachelor to send away several lords.
In this chaotic era where technology has yet to emerge, the lords like to do nothing more than eat, sleep, and make children.
If your physique is slightly weak, there are many people who will make you go away!
It has to be said that the Baratheon whom Lu Yan is loyal to is really strong, and Robert is full of illegitimate children.
However, Cersei still found a way to send her away.
A wild boar can defeat the king amid layers of security. What kind of international joke are you kidding?
Did I drink too much, or did they wake up? Is there something wrong with this?
Even if Robert rushed to challenge him, were the Kingsguard watching the show?
Do you have to react when something goes wrong?
A tool man who is not a loyal minister at first glance. A real tool man must find a way to solve the king's troubles.
Robert obviously didn't find the right guy!
The price Lu Yan gave for a barrel of vodka was two golden dragons, equivalent to two hundred thousand.
A silver dollar is ten thousand, a bronze star is one yuan.
1 golden dragon = 10 silver dragons; 1 silver dragon = 100 bronze stars; 1 bronze star = 10 iron coins equivalent to 1 yuan in RMB.
The envoy expressed his embarrassment about Lu Yan's offer and wanted to go back and ask Marquis Redwin.
But under the powerful influence of vodka, the messenger opened his tongue and stamped it directly.
Regarding this point, Lu Yan said that Calasso did a good job.
Three months later, the vodka called Fire burned the entire continent of Westeros.
After making a lot of money, the Howard family began to propose marching to the continent of Essos.
Marquis Redwin obviously thought of this and began to purchase large quantities of goods.
While solving the problem of making money,
Lu Yan was also observing the reactions of the retainers and knights.
After the last meeting, many bandits have disappeared without a trace.
Lu Yan expressed that he was very satisfied, but some people started to jump around.
In this regard, Lu Yan said, you must be looking for death!
In two months, Lu Yan executed an earl and a viscount under his command, and took back his family's territory.
This incident has also spread a lot of rumors on the mainland.
However, since Lu Yan announced this matter in advance, everyone can only say that the newly succeeded Marquis Howard is a bit cruel.
Silently practicing his sword, Lu Yan was not affected by the outside world.
In this world, all he can rely on is force.
The Magic Mountain is considered to be the most powerful being in Westeros. With its extremely tall stature and arrogant strength, it is considered inhuman.
But in front of Lu Yan, he could crush him to death with one hand.
The family's recruitment plan is also being carried out in an orderly manner, including accepting refugees, reclaiming wasteland, and building military camps. This is the code left by Emperor Hongwu.
Be a soldier in wartime, serve the people in leisure time,
As for the real common people, Lu Yan didn't even bother to take them to the battlefield. Isn't this to deliver food?
The most important thing in a territory is its population resources. If it loses its population, what's the use of Lu Yan being able to fight again?
Now the Howard family has 3,000 elite soldiers and 500 cavalry.
By gathering the retainers, one can gather a thousand cavalry and nearly 5,000 "miscellaneous fish" soldiers, numbering nearly 10,000
This is the strength of Baratheon's first "loyal minister".
Westeros continent, hot and long summer,
Lu Yan led fifty cavalry to the river near the territory.
Looking at the flowing river, Lu Yan couldn't help but look around. He felt that this place was very suitable for building a water conservancy workshop.
However, iron ore resources are very troublesome and need to be purchased from the Essos continent.
But for the sake of the war ten years later, Lu Yan could only silently agree.
After all, once a war breaks out, the first thing he will grab is the Tyrell family in the Reach.
After all, the opponent was a loyalist army from the beginning, and besieged Storm's End Castle for nearly a year.
Stannis was so hurt that he almost ate people, and then the news of victory came.
Under the innate condition of having foresight,
Lu Yan planned to take away the Tyrell family before they were ready.
After all, the two sides will fight sooner or later. How about I give you a knife to bleed you first?
Under his order as the Marquis, the entire territory now began to countdown to "prepare for war".
Far away in the valley, Robert learned about the actions of the Howard family under his command, and his face was full of question marks like "Subway Old Man".
Who is my elder brother not ready to attack yet? Why is my little brother so excited?
Little brother, something is wrong with you!
After sending a bachelor to inquire through the raven, Robert learned that the Howard family planned to develop their territory deeply.
Ordering his brother Stannis to follow suit, Robert continued his life as an "adopted son".
A few days later, I received a letter from Gudi,
Stannis looked confused and said, "What are you doing?"
water conservancy workshop,
Ding-ding-ding heavy hammers kept hitting the iron ore,
When the impurities were removed and it gradually turned into a steel ingot, Lu Yan's eyes were filled with heat.
As a subordinate of the "Snatcher", how could he tolerate his elder brother being bullied?
He must be fucked by the Targaryens!
