"Ahem! Ahem! ”

After a sip of wine, Li Yuanjia coughed violently.

It's just a small bite, but the spiciness, that strength, even if he has already prepared in his heart, he still can't stand it, he just feels like a fire has fallen in his stomach, and it is ignited all of a sudden!

After coughing a few times, Li Yuanjia was overjoyed and immediately picked up the small wine jug placed next to him.

opened the lid of the pot, put it under the nose and smelled it, and a familiar smell immediately rushed into the nasal cavity, making Li Yuanjia can't help but sneeze!

"Good! Very good! Very good! ”

Li Yuanjia, who was overjoyed, carried the wine jug and couldn't help but laugh happily.

More than 60 degrees!

Definitely more than 60 degrees!

Li Yuanjia, who didn't know how much alcohol he used in his previous life, was too sure that this thing couldn't reach 70 or 60 degrees...... No, there are definitely 65 degrees!

In other words, it can already be used for disinfection!

In the excitement, Li Yuanjia almost shouted loudly!

It's just that seeing him so happy, Han Shan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but speak: "King, this wine ...... I'm afraid I can't drink it, right? ”

"Haha, of course you can't drink it!"

To Han Shan's surprise, Li Yuanjia laughed and said, "I let you distill such a strong liquor, not for drinking, haha...... By the way, it's too troublesome to keep saying that spirits, or even stronger wines, Han Cheng, why don't we set a standard for them according to the intensity of these wines? ”

"Standards? But by the king's command! ”

Blinking, Han Shan immediately nodded respectfully.

After following Li Yuanjia for a long time, he slowly understood the meaning of the standard, which is nothing more than to classify the wine according to its strong degree and give each one a name.

It's very simple, Lao Han can understand it.

"Hmm......"

After turning around the room several times in an excited mood, Li Yuanjia raised his head suddenly and said, "Then according to the strength of the wine, they will be divided into ten grades!" The first class is the lightest, the tenth class is the strongest, and as for the batch you just made...... Let's go to the seventh class! ”

Originally, I wanted to say the sixth class, but it was a bit difficult to imagine that it was a bit difficult for Han Shan to distill a liquor above eighty degrees, so Li Yuanjia simply lowered the standard.

“…… Yes, King. ”

There was no opinion on this, and Han Shan nodded directly.

"Next, you can make me more of this wine!"

After circling the steamer twice, Li Yuanjia stood still: "Before I go to winter hunting, at least ten ...... will be made for me Forget it, just make me five altars. I know it's going to be difficult, but ...... Han Shan, it's hard these days! ”

"Yes, King, Han Shan obeys!"

"Hmm."

After Han Shan agreed with a solemn face, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction, and then as if he remembered something, he continued: "After this pot is steamed out later, I will go and receive a hundred yuan of reward!" You are fifty times, and everyone else is fifty times! ”

"Huh? This, this is too much, my lord. ”

Han Shan, who was originally calm, suddenly became a little unstable after hearing this.

"Is it much? Ha ha. ”

Patting Han Shan's shoulder, Li Yuanjia laughed and said, "This is the king's reward for you, take it!" When you have steamed more strong wine, the king will continue to reward you......"

Until he left the room where the distilled spirits were left, Li Yuanjia's mood was still very happy.

Sixty-five degrees of alcohol, too useful!

Although the effect may be a little worse, it is certain that it is sterilizable, and that is enough. And he believes that with Han Shan's little by little improvement, seventy percent alcohol is a matter of time.

"After a few years, it's finally done!"

In a happy mood, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but think of the "distillation road" of alcohol!

From having only one idea at the beginning, to designing the distillation unit from scratch, to improving and perfecting it little by little, and finally distilling this high-grade liquor, the process is not easy at all. Not to mention how much money Li Yuanjia spent on this, just the manpower used during this period, as well as the thought and time spent, is a huge investment!

The blacksmith made the iron pot, the carpenter made the barrel and sieve, and a few maids often had to patiently control the heat and temperature, and finally accumulated enough experience after a little bit of exploration and experimentation.

Before and after, at least three years!

In retrospect, how can it not make people feel emotional?

However, thinking about the hard work of the past three years, which has advanced the appearance of high-grade liquor by hundreds or even thousands of years, Li Yuanjia's heart is full of pride and satisfaction - this is the world's first disinfectant, although there are many restrictions on its use, but the significance of the milestone is obvious!

"At least if someone gets injured or something while hunting, you can use it!"

After making up his mind, Li Yuanjia naturally remembered another thing, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Chunyan, after making the quilt last time, let you spin the remaining cotton into threads and weave into cloth, but are you done?" ”

"Back to the king, it's not done yet."

Biting his lip, Chunyan hurriedly replied: "The textile machine is still improving, so we can only do it by hand, and the speed is extremely slow." But now that half a piece of cotton cloth has been woven, does the king want to use it? ”

Weaving cloth with cotton, in fact, is the same as making silk, after two or three years of exploration, they have been able to make cotton cloth, but the quality may be slightly worse.

"Half a horse? Enough is enough! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go and see the half cloth!" In addition, I need to make something out of those cotton cloths next, you and Liu Mei will do it, and I don't worry about others......"

……

In September of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, a lot of things happened.

At the beginning of September, just as Li Yuanjia thought, the Tang army easily defeated the Tubo people in Songzhou. It was only the vanguard army led by Niu Jinda that was dispatched, and the army led by Hou Junji, the secretary of Shangshu, did not even make a move, and the Tubo people were defeated and retreated.

Songtsen Gampo not only withdrew from Songzhou, but also withdrew from Dangxiang, Bailanqiang, and Tuyuhun, and declared that he would send an apology for his crimes.

The Tang Dynasty, which has been established for 20 years, has once again won victory.

In September, Jiayin, the court carried out a walk that has been passed down through the ages, and Li Shimin asked how difficult it is to start a business and keep it. Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng each gave their own answers, and Li Shimin said the ancient saying that "the difficulty of starting a business is in the past, and the difficulty of keeping it is successful, so you should be cautious with the public".

In September, Li Shimin issued an edict to seal the two sons of Zhenzhu Viga Khan, and Tuli lost to become a small khan, and each gave drums to divide its momentum......

At the beginning of October, there was another rebellion in Bazhou.

However, the Tang monarchs and ministers who were accustomed to the rebellion did not take it seriously after calmly sending troops to suppress it, and the originally planned winter hunting plan was still held as scheduled......
