The total share capital of the Northern Liquor Group is one million taels of silver.

Among the million taels, the two core competitiveness of technology and equipment provided by the crossing public were forcibly valued at 600,000 taels.

In other words, the remaining dozens of shareholders, large and small, shared 400,000 taels of gold. This capital structure fully reflects the correctness of the saying "science and technology are productive forces."

But that's not a big deal.

The cross-cutting public, which aims to cultivate national capital, supports these primitive capitalists to buy the shares of major shareholders at any time. In fact, it is very desirable to see these people skillfully control the board of directors and use modern business philosophy to control the company.

After the establishment of the company, the first operation is not the general meeting of shareholders and the board of directors, but the finance department needs to urgently account for the non-cash resources that some shareholders have taken into shares.

The so-called non-cash resources are actually some workers and land. At the moment of the establishment of the liquor group, thirteen liquor shops along the Tianjin North-South Canal were closed and liquidated on the spot, and they were merged into the group by their own owners.

Such a big capital behemoth, that operation is really rampant.

First of all, after a series of sales and exchanges, the land, including the winery, was merged together and became the company's sales, office and production plant.

After the spring floor heating, this good area along the river will be demolished, and then a large number of migrant workers will be recruited to build regular factories, folk customs wine shops and office buildings.

As for the moment, of course, it is time to start work quickly. Customers and shareholders are anxious to see the legendary core technology and equipment.

As a result, the last batch of hidden materials from the original ten transport ships was also taken out of the warehouse, and the brewing equipment and sheet metal machine tools were also released.

The winemaking equipment is simple, nothing more than fermentation tanks, storage tanks and distilled copper pipes produced by some kiln districts. These simple equipment have long been rotten in later generations, and a set of small family brewing equipment only costs a few thousand yuan.

When the jars and pipes were installed in one of the largest makeshift workshops, the Akito shareholders came to see the treasures.

The baby's appearance is naturally cool: more than a dozen large iron cans with a shiny silver metallic luster, as well as those connected copper and iron pipes, are full of a strong sense of mystery that is not clear.

Next is the discharge: sorghum.

In this era, it is impossible to create a large amount of edible alcohol to blend commercial wine. This kind of technological chain, which was reviled in later generations, is now a complex Zenith technology.

Therefore, under the simple technical conditions of Tianjin, the original pure grain brewing method that was forced to be helpless is the right way.

The main ingredient of Erguotou is sorghum, and the rest, including some peas and other auxiliary materials, are common grain crops in the north. These raw materials are all miscellaneous grains, and the cost is not high compared to wheat, which is suitable for the production of alcohol.

Under the command of the technician who wields the southern dialect, the workers gathered from various distilleries began to complete a series of filler distillation production links.

At this time, the shareholders who visited on the side also roughly understood the entire process under the explanation of a special person: it is nothing more than fermenting grain and then steaming out wine, which is not much different from the principle of local winemaking, but the large steamer and wine cellar are replaced by exquisite steel equipment.

However, what the Ming people don't realize is the most technological: the humble temperature control, alcohol measurement, and various instruments and technologies for analyzing wine.

Therefore, the factories that travel through the crowd are never afraid of the natives to visit, and it is useless to understand the principle. For those who want to steal the teacher, let alone control the alcohol content, a matching screw can't be produced.

When a steady stream of transparent liquor flowed out of the delicate "brass faucet", the long-awaited shareholders collectively cheered.

After tasting the finished product, everyone finally returned to their stomachs: the finished liquor made from northern sorghum is the same as the southern sample in all aspects, and this business can be done!

Subsequently, a brief naming ceremony began.

In this plane, the style is very high, and the traversal who leads the fashion trend will naturally no longer use the vulgar name of Erguotou. The connotative word "whisky" is the final brand name, which clearly indicates "Shidafuji", implicitly hinting at the height of this liquor...... There is no more appropriate name.

After the first pot of puree of Tianjin Whisky Distillery was successfully rolled off the production line, the shareholders moved to the packaging workshop supporting the group company.

The most important thing in the packaging workshop is naturally the tinplate drum production line.

The tinplate drum production line includes several cutting, sheet metal and stamping machines driven by animal or human power.

The production process was dizzying for the shareholders: a mechanic from the south first cut a piece from a roll of tinplate, then folded it and stamped it with an animal-powered machine tool, and then went through a process after a process, and finally polished and painted, and a shiny ten-litre iron drum body rolled off the production line.

After seeing the whole process, the Ming people were all amazed. They really couldn't think of how this thin and tough "iron sheet" could be produced. As for these "clever tools" that can assemble iron sheets into iron buckets, they are even more beyond the awareness of shareholders.

Due to the lack of skilled workers, this rudimentary oil drum production line can only produce one or two dozen finished products per day during the trial production stage. In the future, when the training of local workers in Tianjin matures, the output will increase.

Of course, there are many factors that determine production, among which tinplate is the key.

The tinplate that can only be produced in the steel mill in the kiln area needs to be transported to Tianjin by ship, which is the biggest constraint.

For the same reason, the price of whisky in iron barrels will be much higher. This kind of iron drum that is easy to transport will eventually become a special model for long-distance sales, especially for areas with difficult transportation outside the country, Shanxi, and Mongolia.

In the Beijing-Tianjin area and along the canal, the old-fashioned jar wine method will still be used to reduce costs and expand the market.

In this regard, it is also planned: the reason why it is called the liquor group, when it is freed up in the future, it is natural to acquire several local porcelain kilns.

Like the winery, the acquired kilns will be supported by advanced technology to produce high-quality, low-cost special wine jars to complete the industrial chain.

In short, when the chaotic capital beast of the northern wine industry broke into the ancient market of the seventeenth century, once it passed the incubation period, it must have followed earth-shaking changes.

The traditional businessmen centered on Tianjin will actively or passively get involved in the tide, and the best of them will eventually transform smoothly and become the winners of the troubled times.

........................

As the saying goes, it's hard to get started. After a hectic pass, when the delegation of the Qinwang from the north who crossed the crowd gained a foothold in Tianjinwei, straightened out the basic situation, and dealt with the local interest allies, half a month had passed unconsciously.

In the past month and a half, the delegation has also done a lot of things: repairing the base, buying horses, setting up various organizations, building workshops, in short, it has been very busy and fulfilling.

However, when people are busy, they tend to forget things.

When the winery began to operate, some people slapped their thighs: It's bad, this has to forget about the emperor.

I don't know what the emperor who is far away in the capital will feel if he learns that at this moment, Tianjin Wei still harbors a group of loyal ministers.

Anyway, since crossing the crowd and going ashore, the Tianjin soldiers who have not dealt with this gang of people have been inspected by Master Kong Pengkong, who has been known to everyone these days, and has said that Cao Zongbing has no king and no father, and is called resting, but in fact he is doing a lot of business.

Well, since you think of the emperor, let's hurry up and see how the situation is.

The current time is January 25, 1630. And the situation of the Jingshi has also reached the final juncture.

From November 20 last year to today, two months later, the Eight Banners army led by Huang Taiji has surrounded many gates of the Jingshi and has fought a series of battles with the various armies that came to King Qin.

During this period, the Ming army has always been defeated and won less, allowing the Eight Banners to wreak havoc on the periphery, and can only rely on the artillery fire at the head of the city to defend it.

In the process, the defense system of the Gyeonggi region was severely damaged, and there were six generals of the general rank who were killed or captured.

As early as more than a month ago, Yuan Chonghuan was finally taken down by Chongzhen at the head of the city and put into prison. This Ming Dynasty satellite, known as the Great Fool of the Five Years of Pingliao, will be executed by Chongzhen Lingchi in the second half of this year, in August.

Then at this point in time at the end of January, a major event is about to happen: Huang Taiji is going to withdraw his troops.

Yes, in the coming February, Huang Taiji will personally lead his troops to turn around and capture a series of cities blocked in the back road, such as Tongzhou, Qian'an, and Zunhua. After that, the army of the Eight Banners will take a large number of looted goods and people all the way back to the outside of the pass.

Therefore, it's time to reorganize the army and prepare for a wave of Eight Banners!

So how to reorganize the army...... Naturally, the notice was posted.

On the 25th, a notice was posted in the bustle of the entire Tianjin Wei Street: Conscription.

At first glance, the content of the notice was very simple: Cao Da's general army from the south was going to fight the Tartars in the near future, so it was now necessary to recruit 600 local auxiliaries to help the regular soldiers under Cao Daren.

However, if you look closely, the content of this conscription is not simple.

The conditions for the auxiliary troops on the notice require "skilled archers and horses", "strong martial arts", and "those who have seen blood and have been in battle formations are preferred".

Where is this call for auxiliaries? It's just that! ...... The spectators all laughed.

However, when you look down, you can't laugh.

The treatment of these 600 auxiliaries is as follows: those who pass the selection will receive a settlement fee of one hundred taels of silver (now settled), and the general will be responsible for providing a full set of armor and horse blades (one person and two horses).

In addition, the monthly salary of the auxiliary soldiers is an eye-watering thirty taels of silver per month (daily knot). Say the important thing three times: the end of the day, the end of the day, the end of the day.

Note that the above is only the salary when you start fighting, and you don't need to go into battle.

At the end of the announcement, the Shogun also publicly promised that if there was a temporary battle during the expedition, the Shogun would give an additional bonus afterwards, regardless of the victory or defeat. If someone can make a meritorious service, then the general will definitely promote him as an official.

Finally, the time and address: see you at the old school early tomorrow morning.
