Recently, Huizong's mood is very happy.

Empress Liu happily told him that the Great Song Liquor Industry had been open for more than a month, and the speed of silver inflow was no worse than the ability of Nuan Ge to absorb gold.

It is certain that the wine of the Great Song Liquor Industry will make money, because this wine is so delicious, and Huizong has tasted it himself.

Huizong had never tasted such a violent wine.

At first, I was not used to drinking it, but after a few glasses of wine, it was like sitting on the clouds.

The first time he drank this wine, Huizong followed Zong Shu to the "Xiaoxiao Twilight Rain" Flower Tea Workshop.

Under the influence of wine, Huizong and Master Li soon came to feel.

Back in the palace, Huizong drank those so-called royal wines, which were as tasteless as boiled water.

Naturally, the wine of the Great Song Dynasty Liquor Industry became Huizong's favorite.

The emperor's favorite wine, the ministers soon knew.

As a result, the Great Song Liquor Industry did not do publicity, and soju became a must-have in the homes of dignitaries.

This bottle of wine, Da Song Liquor sells for twenty taels of silver.

Even so, the wine is in short supply.

At first, the ministers thought it was too dark!

Even if it is a good wine produced by the Qiyuan Street Distillery, the silver bottle wine is sold for 72 wen a catty, and the lamb wine is sold for 81 wen a catty.

And the wine of Da Song Liquor is staggeringly expensive.

But this kind of wine is drunk, and people can't stop it.

Zong Shu asked Lin Lingsu to add some deer blood to this high-end wine, which has the effect of aphrodisiac.

Monopolizing the high-end market, Zongshu also launched mid-to-low-end liquors.

The high-end wine is named "Tianshi", the mid-range wine is "Geographical Advantage", and the low-end wine is "Renhe".

The highest-end ones are bottled in glass bottles, and the low-end ones are filled in porcelain bottles.

In just one month, the three wines of Da Song Wine have become people's favorites.

If you don't prepare the soju produced by Da Song Liquor, you will be embarrassed to entertain the guests.

A few officials couldn't see it, and impeached Zong Shu for privately opening a ban on alcohol, which was a violation of the imperial court law and should be severely punished.

For such a twist, Huizong did not accept it at all.

Due to the nature of their profession, few other officials have taken the initiative to contact them, so the sources of information are not widespread.

I didn't know that Da Song Liquor was a collaboration between Zong Shu and Empress Liu.

Zong Shu immediately told the Great Song Liquor Industry that all officials of Yushitai would not sell wine if they bought it, and they would not sell it at a high price.

The lord can't even buy wine in court.

In desperation, Chen Guoting had no choice but to take half a bottle of wine from Huizong, and when he drank it, he was full of praise.

For this reason, Chen Guoting specially found the crown prince Zhao Huan.

As soon as Zhao Huan told Zong Shu, Zong Shu lifted the ban.

In fact, Zong Shu just wanted to give these officials a little color, don't stare at himself all day long.

If the officials are really idle, they can stare at Cai Jing, Cai You, and Tong Guan, they have more handles.

Even powerful ministers like Cai Jing and Tong Guan generally have to give Chen Guoting some face, and don't turn their faces with Yushitai unless they have to do anything else.

And Zong Shu still looks like a fool, if it weren't for the prince's appearance, Chen Guoting and his subordinate officials would probably only be able to rub other people's wine and drink.

……

Zhuzhu married Zong Shu, the date has been set, as Huizong's favorite daughter, all kinds of dowries must be very rich.

If it was a year ago, Huizong and Empress Liu would probably have a hard time, after all, the dowry for their daughter was paid from the inner treasury.

At that time, Neku was very nervous. Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the inner treasury a year ago was the least, and it was basically about to bottom out.

And now, Huizong and Empress Liu are not worried at all, and it is completely possible to prepare a decent dowry for Zhuzhu.

Empress Liu became more and more satisfied with this quasi-attached horse, and Zong Shu said that he would bear all the dowry, and if he wanted to accompany the dowry, he would ask Huizong to draw more pictures and inscriptions for him.

Since the death of the lord of the Dojin people, there has been no news from the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin army attacking the Liao State did not withdraw, and the Liao and Jin temporarily formed a balanced situation on the battlefield.

Western Xia, Tubo and other countries have not seen any new moves, and the world seems to have quieted down all of a sudden.

Empress Liu reported the good news of the Great Song Liquor Industry, and Huizong also happily said two things.

One is that Yingluo married into the Jin Kingdom, as soon as Jin Taizu died, Wanyan Shenguo would inherit the throne, and then Yingluo would become the queen of the Jin Kingdom.

In this way, the relations between Song and Jin can be further consolidated.

According to Tong Guan's analysis, the relationship between the Song and Jin countries was consolidated, and Liao and Western Xia may no longer dare to offend the border.

The "Great Song Volunteer Army" organized by Zong Shu is training to help the Liao State in due course, so that the relations between the Liao State can be handled well.

In the future, the energy of the Great Song Dynasty could be used to attack Western Xia and recover the Hexi Corridor.

Tubo can also free up his hands to knock and knock at any time.

The other is that Liang Shicheng's match factory has been completed and put into operation, forming mass production, and it will be officially opened today.

Huizong allocated 5,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to support Liang Shicheng's match factory.

According to Tong Guan and Zhao Gou, they both invested at least half of their savings for the production of the Royal Match Factory.

In addition to Tong Guan and Zhao Gou, other officials also knew the news and knew that this was a business that would make sure they wouldn't lose money, and they all took out their money to invest it and enjoy the dividends.

Originally, it was called a match workshop, but later Liang Shicheng referred to the new name of the Great Song Academy of Sciences and changed it to a match factory.

For the opening of the match factory, Liang Shicheng and a group of eunuchs recruited a lot of homeless people, worked overtime, and drove out enough matches.

Liang Shicheng invited Hui Zongqin to the match factory to strengthen his prestige.

Huizong didn't speak yet, but Gao Yu refused for him, there were a lot of people at the scene today, because there was no arrangement in advance, and the safety was not guaranteed.

Gao Yu said that if His Majesty really wants to come forward, it must be strictly controlled, except for officials, all merchants and ordinary people must be cleared.

The opening was originally for merchants and ordinary people to see, and matches were also bought for them.

Wouldn't it be a soup to clear them out and open their business?

If no one buys matches, won't you lose your adult?

Huizong actually didn't want to go, the most important thing is that Huizong loves to be tidy, I heard that the match factory is such a big manure tank, concentrated all the night incense in the city, and the smell can smoke people to death.

In order to show his support for the match factory, and for the five thousand taels of silver invested in the inner treasury, Huizong deliberately took a day off.

In this way, officials from the DPRK and China can attend the opening ceremony of the match factory.

The match factory was opened, and more than 200 officials, large and small, such as Zhao Gou and Tong Guan, gathered at the scene.

The merchants and people of Bianliang City surrounded the scene tightly.

A large number of gamblers also arrived, and they wanted to see who sold better matches between Liang Shicheng and Zong Shu today.

Most of the gamblers have invested in Zong's gambling house, which makes the owners of other gambling houses angry, and they also want to come to see Zong Shu's jokes today.

Zongshu's "match factory" is next to Liang Shicheng's plot.

The contrast between the two sides is stark.

Liang Shicheng's match factory has workshops, pools, houses, and workers, and the homeless people are in full swing.

However, there were only a dozen farmers in Zongshu's field, where they ploughed and shot targets, and one piece of land was actually filled with water.

On the ground, there is a table made of several large square tables, and a table and a chair are placed on the table.

Where does this look like a little bit of a match factory?

One side of the sea, the other side of the fire. Obviously, Zong Shu is going to lose.
