Chapter 41: The Production of Wine and Salt!
Seeing that they were all looking at each other, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he also knew that this matter could not be relied on by them.
So, Lu Bu could only figure out a way by himself!
Lu Bu thought about it, and finally, Lu Bu, who thought of something, couldn't help but light up in his eyes.
This era is a backward era, and Lu Bu came from the 21st century, as long as he comes up with something new for this era from the 21st century, he can quickly accumulate money and grain.
That's right! Lu Bu just wants to use commercial means to accumulate money and grain!
It is easy to think of doing business to accumulate money and food, but why didn't Chen Gong and Li Ru think of it? Actually, this can't be blamed on them, after all, in this era, Shinong industry and commerce, and commerce are at the bottom, and it is conceivable that its status is conceivable.
In the eyes of people in this era, commerce is a cheap industry, and only the poorest people of the lowest level will become merchants and rely on business to make ends meet!
And the civil and military under Lu Bu's account are either the identity of the noble family, or the peasants, not even craftsmen and blacksmiths, naturally they can't think of using commerce to accumulate money and grain, maybe they won't be aware of business at all, so as not to let themselves surrender their identity!
For such a strange view of consciousness in this era, Lu Bu despises them or despises, and despises them for being short-sighted!
Like in the 21st century, this is not the case, you know, rich is the uncle, no matter how you save money!
In this era, there is nothing like the noble clan, and they can have no worries about food and clothing if they are any official, plus they have a lot of land under their hands, and there are a large group of tenants who cultivate food for them, so naturally there is no shortage of money and food!
And like farmers and craftsmen, these are different, even if they go from morning to night, many of them can't even eat and wear, if the weather is bad and the harvest is not good, many people will starve to death every year!
Business is different, as long as you are a little economically minded and not stupid, you can definitely solve the problem of food and clothing for your family!
Like Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, or the current Zhongshan Wuji Zhen and Xuzhou Elk Zhu Elfang, they both made a fortune by business and achieved their desired status!
Although they make a fortune in business and make their reputation bad, but if they have a bad reputation, it's not good, what can you do with them?! On the contrary, they want to pinch you to death as easily as pinching an ant!
According to the needs of this era, Lu Bu thought of two things that could quickly accumulate money and grain, one was wine, and the other was salt.
Of course, there is also wine and salt in this era, but the wine and salt that Lu Bu will produce are not comparable to the wine and salt of this era!
The alcohol content of this era is extremely low, just like the beer of later generations, light and touching!
Lu Bu plans to use distillation technology to increase the degree of the liquor, and when the distilled liquor is produced, Lu Bu can sell it to the entire Han Dynasty, even the Northern Xinjiang and the Western Regions, to obtain the money and grain that Lu Bu needs!
The same goes for salt, and Lu Bu intends to increase the production of salt through the salt drying method in the 21st century!
You know, people will die if they don't eat salt, therefore, salt is a huge profit in this era, controlled in the hands of the official, but now the Han Dynasty has completely fallen apart, and some princes naturally set their sights on salt in order to increase taxes and recruit troops!
Lu Bu is the same.
It's just that the yield of salt in this era is extremely low, and the salt that comes out of the sun has many impurities, which is not snow-white enough.
If it is through Lu Bu's salt drying method, not only can the yield of salt be increased, but even the quality will exceed the salt of this era I don't know how many times!
When the time comes, it will definitely be favored by the people of this era!
In addition, Wenjun is close to the sea on three sides, so naturally there is no shortage of seawater for drying salt, how much does it take!
"That's right! We produce wine and salt! Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but yell.
Let the next group of civil and military people look at each other.
Wine, as long as there is some surplus food at home, everyone will make it, what money can be saved?
As for salt, although it is profitable, the output is very low, and it takes a lot of manpower and time to produce it, so it is better to hand it over to those salt merchants to produce, and then collect their taxes, so why waste this time?
Besides, how could Lu Bu, as a prince, do what these merchants did?!
However, they knew Lu Bu's character, and they naturally did not allow them to block what they decided, and besides, they were now deeply aware of Lu Bu's extraordinary, so Lu Bu said that it would definitely work!
Producing wine and salt, Lu Bu may be able to create miracles!
Just do what you say, so, under Lu Bu's order, a winery production base and a salt factory production base were quickly built in Wenjun!
The location of the distillery is in the middle of Xingba City, and the salt factory is built on the seaside to the west of Xingba City.
Subsequently, Lu Bu recruited some skilled winemakers and salt drying workers, gave them a good salary, and let them dry salt according to the distilled spirit technology and salt drying method taught to them by Lu Bu!
Then, as long as they make the product and make Lu Bu satisfied, it can be mass-produced, and then sold to Dahan, Western Regions, Northern Xinjiang and other places!
The distillery and the salt field are important production bases for Lu Bu to quickly accumulate money and grain, and safety must be grasped well, so as not to be learned by others in distillation technology and salt drying method, and rob Lu Bu of the way to save money, therefore, the two production bases are heavily garrisoned, as for the winemakers and salt workers, Lu Bu must also do their secret work as soon as possible, so as not to appear traitors and leak the secrets!
While waiting for the production of wine and salt, Lu Bu naturally accompanied his family when he was free.
Especially Diao!
Diao Chan saw that Yan Yao now has Lu Bu's second child, and she has followed Lu Bu for so long, she doesn't even have a child, and now that she has hope, she naturally wants to have a child that belongs to herself and Lu Bu!
Seeing the hope and resentment in Diao Chan's eyes, Lu Bu felt pity for her very much, so Lu Bu spent most of his time with Diao Chan, hoping to let her have a child belonging to her and her as soon as possible.
Seeing that Lu Bu is spending most of her time with Diao Chan, Lu Bu's wife Yan Yao is not jealous, as long as Lu Bu still loves her and treats her well, plus, although she and Diao Chan are not biological sisters, they also have a deep sisterhood, and naturally they also want Diao Chan to live well and have a child.
As for Cao Qi'er, maybe she is not very old, and she doesn't care much about whether she has children now, but she spends most of her time with Lu Lingqi, and the two of them are sweating on the martial arts arena in the Wenhou Mansion, and the weapons in their hands are played by them in a good way, and they are practicing their own martial arts!
Lu Bu looked at Cao Que'er, who didn't know when he started to like martial arts like his daughter Lu Lingqi, and couldn't help but make Lu Bu show a wry smile.
However, as long as Cao Que'er doesn't quarrel and say that she wants to go to the battlefield with Lu Bu to kill the enemy, Lu Bu will not stop her hobby, practicing martial arts is not harmful to her anyway, but it can strengthen her body, and she will not let Cao Que'er feel bored in this Wenhou Mansion when she is away, why not!
When Lu Bu was free, Lu Bu was also pulled by their two daughters to be their coach and teach them the martial arts of the two daughters, and Lu Bu was also willing, with Lu Bu's superb martial arts, he could teach them a few tricks at will, which would benefit them immensely, and they would enhance their martial arts very quickly!
Even Lu Bu admired their talent for martial arts, with the martial arts that their two daughters were now mastering, even the guards in the mansion might not be their opponents!
In the days when I was with my family, time passed quickly, and on this day, according to Lu Bu's method of production, wine and salt were produced!
