This profit was seen by the Qing court before, and ordinary people were not fools, so they could naturally see it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is that there are not a few people who make sake privately. As recorded in this miscellaneous book, there are "more than 2,000 pot burners" in the township. Each household starts a fire at the second watch, and rests at sunrise, and can burn rice five stones, and the total daily consumption of rice is 10,000 stones. Even if it is not a fire every day, if it is counted as a year, it will burn millions. ”

When the rich family took advantage of the harvest and the price was cheap, they were in the wharf market town, collecting wheat stones, opening workshops and making songs, ranging from hundreds of thousands to more than one million yuan per business, carrying ships and transporting them to other provinces. ”

Of course, this sake is brewed, but because it is illegal, the risk of being banned is also high.

Ming Jing is close to the left, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, for Li Min, it belongs to the most peaceful place in the prosperous era. Not only is the tax relatively reasonable, but also the merchants gather, which is really the top rich place in China. Naturally, the amount of alcohol consumed in such places is not too small.

And wine has geographical limitations. In particular, some low-end alcoholic beverages, such as beer from later generations. Long-distance transportation adds many costs. Therefore, the strategy of many breweries to compete with the outside world is to buy each other's breweries or build their own breweries, rather than shipping their own beer out of the country.

In ancient China, when transportation was extremely underdeveloped, this regionality became more and more distinct. However, this kind of regionality is not the competition after the saturation of the market in later generations, but the hunger of consumers. In Mingjing, not only is the government-run liquor very expensive, but even the liquor from other places will be transported to Mingjing, and its value will increase greatly and it will be sold at a high price. The merchants near Mingjing, seeing this huge profit, how could they be willing to let this within reach of the profit slip away from their eyes. Even if you violate some laws, it's nothing!

As a result, there are many small breweries next to Mingjing.

In the notes of the poor and sour Xiucai, it is such a small brewing workshop. The brewery was run by a wealthy family on the outskirts of Mingjing. More than a dozen workers were hired to make wine day and night. Although it is not a top-notch wine, it is also better than the price. The sales in Mingjing are very good.

It's just that this rich man doesn't know how to restrain himself, and when he has money in his hand, he spreads it out. Relying on his own little backer, he was overbearing.

However, in a place like Mingjing, as long as it is the old Mingjing who has been running here for several generations, no one has a royal relative. Even in the later generations, if an uncle pops up on the street, he may know many high-ranking officials.

This rich man ran rampant in the suburbs of Mingjing City for a while, and felt that his domineering spirit was already full, so he took a turn in Mingjing City. Unexpectedly, this offended a group of Eight Banners children who were idle all day long and had nothing to do to eat imperial food.

After these people's titles have been passed down for several generations, some of their families have declined, and some of their descendants are still promising. Together, it is also a big force. It's just that the words "Eight Banners" are not a compliment in later generations. These people spend their days playing with crickets, playing with gnats, walking birds, teasing dogs, and having fun.

Life is a comfortable mess. However, there are few who can afford to make money. When he was worried about where to get the money to buy his next grasshopper, this rich businessman who started by making wine privately broke in.

A few Eight Banners disciples were amused when they saw it, this rich businessman was neither fat nor thin, neither big nor small, and it was just right for them to start. There will be no consequences if you do it, and they can't afford to mess with other people who do this kind of business. As for the backstage of the rich businessman, compared with the post-mortem of the country, it is a yarn!

The oil and water squeezed out are enough for them to play comfortably for several years. If the wine shop in the hands of this rich merchant is brought over and operated in the original way, then this endless supply of oil and water will be enough for them to use for a lifetime!

Therefore, the rich merchant was unlucky. First, I had several lawsuits inexplicably. Then he was urged to pay the "oil and wine tax". When the capital chain was about to be broken, the rich businessman knew that someone was eyeing his business.

This rich merchant is also hard-hearted. I couldn't think about it for a while, so I set a fire in my own brewing workshop and burned myself and the brewing workshop to the ground. It's just that this rich merchant was unkind and didn't say a word before setting the fire, so that this fire burned down the surrounding neighborhood houses.

Alcohol is already flammable, and when a fire ignites, it spreads quickly. It was also in the dead of night, so there was nowhere to hide from the sleeping people around. Eventually, hundreds of people were killed by the fire, and in the time that followed, the cries of ghosts could be heard among the burned ruins of the brewery.

Even, some people around have seen the rich merchant who brewed wine at night, wandering among the ruins and ruins, stunned. According to the inference of the eyebrows and the red lady. There should be at least a few hundred ghosts here. Although, it doesn't belong to the category of soldiers. However, because it is a vain death, the obsession should be stronger. After hundreds of years of cultivation, the combat effectiveness will not be too weak no matter what.

It's just that this record of poor and sour talent is a solitary article. There is no other record of these ghosts. However, there are some sporadic accounts of the fire. However, the records of the number of people who died in this fire are not the same, some records say that about a dozen people were burned to death in this fire, and some records say that only a few people were burned to death in this fire. In short, the accounts are different and not identical.

And this record also ended here, I don't know if there are ghosts in the place where the fire once occurred. There is no record of this. The only thing that is certain is the location of the brewery.

Although, after the recovery of the Chinese economy, Mingjing developed extremely rapidly. Originally, many places on the outskirts of Mingjing City are now lined with high-rise buildings. However, according to the old map of the Ming Dynasty, the place name and other information, you can also find the location of the original brewery.

In order to find the location of these ghosts, Yun Lei has already found a bunch of old maps of Mingjing, and between the comparisons of these maps, it is easy to know what a certain place in Mingjing used to do, and what it does now.

Yes, just now, those ghost things traveled, and on the note they took, they all wrote the haunts of those ghosts, the original place name and the current place name.

Yun Lei picked up the map and compared it, and was surprised to find that the brewing workshop was located now, isn't it a certain building in the Fourth Ring Road? He has visited this building more than once!
