Qifu study.

Zhang Peier looked at the stack of materials in her hand carefully, and admired Fu Xiaoguan very much in her heart.

"Qi Gongzi is an expert in this, can these things be deceitful?"

Qi Yuanming thought for a while and said: "It should be feasible, the addition ratio of this koji is twice as much as that of my Yaochun, the fermentation time is twice as long as that of Yaochun, and the steaming time is also three times longer, I think this may be the reason why his wine is stronger." ”

"I don't know how to make wine, you say...... There are 100 catties of grain written here and 100 eggs added, what is the point? ”

"I don't know, maybe that's the key to the secret recipe."

"But here it is said that a brewing requires 30,000 catties of grain to start...... That's a lot, why can't it be produced in small batches? ”

"This estimate has something to do with fermentation, and it is better to ferment when the grain is piled up."

"No wonder you need three thousand vats."

Zhang Pei'er put down this information, and then said with a smile: "Then now it's up to Qi Gongzi, you and I are divided...... I don't know what Qi Gongzi thinks. ”

"This recipe was obtained by you, girl, and I will take out the rest of the things, and divide them into three and seven, you and I will seven, how about it?"

"How is the Qi boy going to sell this wine?"

"It's the same as his Yu Fu Ji."

Zhang Pei'er shook her head, "The little woman thinks it's inappropriate, Yu Fuji's bottled wine has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people have Qin Lao's inscription, but we don't." ”

"What does that girl think?"

"Sell in bulk, the kind of Xiangquan is priced at 30 wen, and the kind of heavenly alcohol is priced at 100 wen, but it must be advertised like him, and the wine that is exactly the same as him is cheaper than what he sells, and he will be defeated directly, and this market will be ours in the future." At that time, Qi Gongzi can sell as much as he wants. ”

Qi Yuanming thought about it, Zhang Pei'er, this woman was very far-sighted, so he nodded and asked, "Can Miss agree to the sharing?" ”

"Let's do it, I don't care how much money I can share."

……

Fu Xiaoguan and the others returned to the Fu Mansion, but they didn't expect to meet a few people in this backyard.

Father Fu Daguan was pouring tea diligently with a radiant face, and the object was Liu Zhidong, the governor of Linjiang, and his staff Liu Sanye, who Fu Xiaoguan did not expect.

Seeing Fu Xiaoguan coming in, Liu Zhidong recruited with a smile, "Virtuous nephew, let my uncle wait." ”

Fu Xiaoguan was stunned in his heart, this Liu Zhidong and yesterday were like two people, he understood the mystery in an instant, a flower suddenly bloomed on his face, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I never thought that your old man would come today, I went to Linjiang Academy this morning to see Brother Qin, and I neglected my uncle, please forgive me." ”

Ah, this kid and Qin Lao are called brothers, his voice is quite bad, if it reaches Qin Lao's ears, wouldn't he be a generation higher than Qin Lao!

He waved his hand casually, and said, "Old Qin is a great Confucian in the court, and of course it is a big deal for you to go to see him." I took advantage of you just now, since Qin Lao and you have become a year-old friend, I will also put a light on my face, and I will also make a year-old friend with you, okay? ”

"This ......"

"Brother Fu Xian, it's so decided, if you call me brother, brother will give you this thing."

Liu Zhidong put out the approval document, which was already stamped with a bright red seal.

This was originally intended to be given to Fu Xiaoguan, but when he said this, firstly, it corrected the possible consequences of the virtuous nephew, and secondly, it became even more cordial.

Fu Xiaoguan clasped his hands into fists, "Brother, you have given me a big surprise." ”

Next to him, Fu Daguan and Liu Sanye were dumbfounded-which one is this singing?

How did overnight, the attitude of Lord Zhizhou changed dramatically.

Moreover, the virtuous nephew that Lord Zhizhou clearly called just now changed his words in an instant, and actually called Fu Xiaoguan a virtuous brother...... The roles changed too quickly, and Fu Daguan and Liu Sanye couldn't turn around for a while.

What they were thinking about was what Fu Xiaoguan had done? Or did he take some more amazing way to force Lord Zhizhou to change his mind?

They knew that a noble person came to Lin Zhou last night, but they didn't know how important Fu Xiaoguan was in the eyes of the nobles.

And Liu Zhidong knew very well, especially after the end of the scene, Concubine Shang Guifei left Fu Xiaoguan alone, which made him understand what to do next.

"I know that there is an iron deposit in Linjiang, in Fenglin Mountain, the imperial court sent a special person to watch the mountain to see, the reserves are very large but not easy to mine and put it aside, if the virtuous brother is interested, you can send someone to see."

Sending the Buddha to the West, Liu Zhidong can be regarded as doing this thing beautifully.

Fu Xiaoguan was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome, I'll arrange someone to explore the way later, the profits generated by the mining of this mineral deposit, brother, you account for 30%." ”

"By all means, mining is not so easy, I know that it costs a lot of money, the government has already collected thirty percent, except for one expense, you can't afford much."

This is Liu Zhidong's heart, opening a mine will dig mountains and build roads to deal with a lot of problems, and the cost in the early stage is very high, and if you just sell the mine, the profit is not huge, if the mine is not explored, it is likely to lose money, so the private mining government has indicators, but not many people are willing to do it.

Unlike salt induction, if you get it, you will make a steady profit.

Fu Xiaoguan thought that anyway, now that this is cheap, then he will simply get a little more.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know how to deal with the slag after the Linjiang official iron is refined?" ”

Liu Zhidong didn't understand this either, so he looked at Liu Sanye, and Liu Sanye replied: "The slag is useless, it is all piled up under Yao Mountain." ”

"Yaoshan ......?"

"It's in Yao County, hundreds of miles away from Xia Village."

"Oh." Fu Xiaoguan knew that the fields in Yao County also belonged to the Fu family, but there was a government foundry bureau in Yao County, and the iron ore mined came from Yao Mountain.

"Can you give me the slag, or buy it cheaper?"

Liu Zhidong was a little surprised, since this thing is a discarded thing, what is Fu Xiaoguan doing with it?

"Since it's waste, you take it, but you have to dispose of it yourself...... I don't know why the virtuous brother wants this thing? ”

"I thought that this slag should be relatively hard, and I thought that it would be transported back to the lower village to pave the road, which would be a little transportation cost, and it would be cost-effective."

Of course, he didn't say that this thing is one of the raw materials for making cement, and originally thought that he would open his own mine and smelt the slag to make cement, but now that there are ready-made ones, the birth of cement can be many days earlier.

"I'll write a note to you, and you go to Yu Lian, the county magistrate of Yao County."

……

Liu Zhidong left the Fu Mansion with Liu Sanye, and Fu Daguan asked why Liu Zhidong changed his mind, Fu Xiaoguan briefly talked about last night's incident, of course, he didn't say that the ninth princess wanted to recruit him as a concubine, and Fu Daguan suddenly understood.

This son of his own, who actually got on the line with the prince's mansion, is now in the eyes of the nobleman, this is about to take off.

No, tomorrow I have to go to Yunqing's tomb and put a few more pillars of incense wax.
