In a flash, three days passed, and as the crown prince Zhu Cihong, who had no hard task indicators, took the lead in returning, guests and friends from all sides also began to return one after another.
Hong Chengchou really wanted to talk to Xu Changqing about the war in the northwest, but Xu Changqing didn't give him a chance to meet at all, and Hong Chengchou was helpless about this, there were still many military and government affairs to be busy in Liaodi, so he could only leave first.
Wang Chengen is also similar.
Hong Chengchou left, even though Xu Changqing gave him great courtesy, and Gonggong Li accompanied him almost all the time, but unfortunately, he couldn't communicate with Xu Changqing, and he had no choice.
Just when Wang Chengen was hesitating whether to tear his face and go directly to Xu Changqing, in the northwest direction, there was suddenly good news.
Just the morning before yesterday, Sun Chuanting's troops were in the east of Lintong City, breaking the elite of the main force of the Liumin Army and beheading thousands of people!
This made Wang Chengen feel like he was filled with a tube of chicken blood all at once.
The imperial court now has tens of thousands of soldiers in the northwest, could it be that without Xu Changqing, they would have to eat pigs with hair?
Soon, Wang Chengen stopped inking, simply greeted Xu Changqing, and happily returned to Beijing.
"Wang Chengen is gone?"
In the inner study, Xu Changqing took the latest battle report from the northwest and looked at Wu Sanmei who came in with a cup of fragrant tea.
"Well, just after a quarter of an hour, Gonggong Li said that Gonggong Wang was in a very good mood."
Wu Sanmei brought the fragrant tea to Xu Changqing, and then went to the mirror not far away to fix her hair.
This is a sample that is already very similar to the mirror of later generations, and it is a sample made by Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei's craftsman workshop yesterday, and it was sent to Xu Changqing as soon as possible.
However, at this time, the technology of glass firing is still very immature, and the success rate is still very low, and it will take some time to really form a scale and mass production.
Looking at Wu Sanmei's slender figure, and then looking at the battle report in his hand, Xu Changqing put down the battle report and suddenly smiled.
Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, in order to do this game, they can't be described as scheming!
Not surprisingly, in the next period of time, there will definitely be new good news in the northwest!
But this kind of thing, Xu Changqing really can't help, and it's up to them to play.
"Third sister, the eyesore are gone, wait a minute, shout Youwei and Chuxue, let's go and inspect your business together."
Xu Changqing got up with a smile and grabbed Wu Sanmei's slender waist from behind.
Wu Sanmei suddenly glanced at Xu Changqing angrily: "Get out of the way, don't touch me!" I want to go with you, so I won't go with you! ”
As she spoke, Wu Sanmei shook off Xu Changqing and began to continue to sort out her makeup.
Xu Changqing smiled: "That's okay, you can play here by yourself, let's go." ”
Saying that, Xu Changqing ignored Wu Sanmei, turned his head and left.
Seeing that Xu Changqing really went out, and didn't look back, Wu Sanmei was about to explode, "Xu Changqing, surnamed Xu, you stop me!" ”
"What? Aren't you going? When you're tired, just rest at home, don't get tired. ”
Xu Changqing pretended to look at Wu Sanmei in confusion, and rubbed her hair with a smile.
“……”
Wu Sanmei's silver teeth creaked for a while, this bastard, once married, actually bullied her like this......
However, just when she couldn't help but was about to explode, Xu Changqing suddenly hugged her again and whispered a few words in her ear.
Wu Sanmei's originally tense little face turned red in an instant, and she turned around and threw herself into Xu Changqing's arms: "Villain, don't say it!" I won't do such boring things with you in the future! ”
"So, what if I trick Youwei into your room tonight, to your home court?"
Xu Changqing is good at persuasion.
"This ......"
Wu Sanmei's eyes rolled, and she suddenly found that this didn't seem to be unacceptable...... Busy said: "Then you have to promise that I will be in charge tonight!" ”
"No problem!"
"That's pretty much ......"
……
At the beginning of noon, Xu Changqing, Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Chu Xue and other people came to the winery in the southern suburbs of Haicheng to inspect the brewing situation of Haicheng Laojiao.
Not far from the winery, there is the glass factory and the mirror factory, and there are large areas around it, all of which are future industrial areas built by Xu Changqing.
Shinong Industry and Commerce.
According to the current productive forces, it is not that Xu Changqing does not want to develop agriculture well, first solve the problem of eating the people in the Xiaoice River period, the main reason is that the current situation is too chaotic, there is no stable farming environment at all, Xu Changqing can only ensure his own survival first.
At this time, Haicheng is not lacking in raw materials, manpower, or technology, and the transportation industry is also quite developed.
However, Xu Changqing has also sent a lot of manpower to the south and Haoao in the past few days to look for imported high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and tomatoes.
Without these new varieties, even if Xu Changqing has a stable and safe territory, it will still be extremely difficult to develop agriculture.
According to the productivity at this time, not to mention Shandong, even if it is a good land in the south of the Yangtze River, one acre of rice field, at most can produce three or four hundred catties, four or five hundred catties of grain, this is still in the case of the hard work of the people, God is in the wind and rain.
But if there is a little fluctuation, there will be a reduction in production!
In many cases, wheat is more expensive than rice.
Sweet potatoes are quite different.
Even if the conditions are bad, as long as a certain growth environment can be maintained, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is more than 1,000 catties, just like playing.
Although potatoes are a little weaker, like sweet potatoes, they can be used as a staple food, even in the saline land by the sea, their survival ability is extremely strong!
Now for the overall situation, Xu Changqing doesn't have much idea for the time being, in this state, cultivating his internal strength is naturally the best choice.
"Uncle, madam, second lady, third lady, please go here."
Following the director of the distillery, I slowly entered the factory, and suddenly the rich aroma of sake lees came to my face.
The biggest advantage of Haicheng Laojiao at this time is the distillation technology, which not only improves the purity, but also increases the richness and aroma of the wine.
The teachers in it are Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, who were hired from Yelang with a lot of money, and they soon moved their families to Haicheng.
By this time, Li Youwei and her sisters were already familiar with this kind of work of digging the foot of the wall.
In fact, the soy sauce wine on Yelang's side has long started to use distillation technology, but it is a blind man who touches the elephant and finds it out randomly, which is completely incomparable with the scientific and perfect system of Haicheng Laojiao.
Although Haicheng Laojiao has not yet been officially listed at this time, it has been promoted among the guests, just like what LV and Hermes in later generations, luxury goods are general, and they first spread among the upper classes.
Not surprisingly, as long as the good drinkers taste the taste of Haicheng Laojiao, and then let them drink ordinary rice wine, it is not an exaggeration to say, then it is almost the same to drink cold water.
At that time, as long as the wind is up, the hungry marketing played by the bigwigs in later generations will also begin to be on track.
Here, the workers who were working were very excited when they saw Xu Changqing and his party coming, and they were about to kowtow, but Xu Changqing waved his hand to stop them from saluting and asked them to maintain their work rhythm.
It wasn't until he inspected the factory and left the factory that Xu Changqing asked the supervisor: "Now, what is the daily output of the winery?" ”
The director was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a conspicuous rosacea nose and small eyes, but he was very smart, and he looked like an old fritter.
He hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to Uncle's words, according to the current manpower and materials of our distillery, we can produce about 30 to 40 jars a day, mainly because there is too little food now, and the small ones do not dare to rashly increase production, and have been cultivating skilled workers." If there is enough food in the future, and a hundred jars are produced a day, it will not be a big problem. ”
"What do you do with the scrap?"
Xu Changqing looked into his eyes.
"Forehead ......"
The supervisor was a little confused, but he didn't expect Xu Changqing to be so knowledgeable, and said respectfully: "The wine lees are generally sold to livestock farms, and as for those defective wines, many of them are sold to workers......
As he spoke, the director didn't dare to breathe anymore.
This is a bit taboo, and there is a suspicion of enriching one's own pockets.
Li Youwei saw that Xu Changqing was about to get angry, and hurriedly explained: "Xu Lang, I know about this matter, and I nodded, after all, it is not easy for the workers, and they have to support their families......
Xu Changqing waved his hand and said: "This is not an easy thing, this is a matter of principle!" That's it! The distillery can give benefits to the workers, but it is categorically not allowed to do this kind of unruly thing! If it is found in the future, it will be severely punished! ”
"Yes......"
The Director hurriedly fell to his knees.
Li Youwei was also a little speechless, not understanding why Xu Changqing was so strict.
Xu Changqing grabbed her hand at this time, although she didn't say anything, Li Youwei's mood suddenly improved.
After thinking for a while, Xu Changqing said: "In this way, the residual wine can be properly mixed with water, and the concentration is slightly higher than that of ordinary rice wine. But you can't rush it, you have to work hard to improve the recipe, to optimize the taste, and to improve the problems above! ”
"Yes......"
The supervisor nodded like a chicken, he already understood by this time that their uncle was not only an expert, but also a big expert.
If he wants to steal the beams and change the pillars, he can know the consequences with his ass.
"And-"
Xu Changqing said again: "In addition to the purest Haicheng Laojiao, let's have another Haicheng Daqu!" It is one level lower than Haicheng Laojiao, but above the rice wine. Well, rice wine is called ...... It's called Haicheng Erguotou. ”
As he spoke, Xu Changqing looked at the supervisor: "If things are done well, Ben Bo will be rewarded, and he can even be with your winery, if you don't do well, Ben Bo will be severely punished, do you have confidence?" ”
"Yes! Little ones have confidence! The small family has been brewing for generations, as long as the uncle gives the small one three months, no, two months, the small one must give the uncle a satisfactory explanation! ”
As soon as he heard that he might be given a share, the director burst into joy and hurriedly kowtowed.
Now, a blind person can also see that this winery will definitely be a daily business in the future, and with a share, isn't this equivalent to doing business with the uncle and becoming a shareholder together? This is simply a blessing that can only be cultivated by the smoke on the ancestral tomb!
And how can the supervisor not be excited?
……
Leaving the winery, getting into the carriage, and on the way to the mirror factory, Xu Changqing explained to Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei and Chu Xue, who were in the same car.
"Business is business, and favor is favor! Youwei, Third Sister, Chu Xue, you have to understand, there are no rules! We can be kind to these laborers, but there must be rules! If there are no rules, today this person eats a little outside, and tomorrow that person comes a little more, everyone has a reason, everyone is in trouble at home, and our business is ruined, what should we do? Is this a desperate fishing? ”
“……”
The three women all bit their red lips and looked at Xu Changqing, a little afraid to face Xu Changqing's majesty, and they were faintly aggrieved.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what Xu Changqing said was very reasonable......
In particular, the plan for the classification of liquor that Xu Changqing said in the distillery before is simply a genius idea, and if it can be implemented smoothly, the prospect is simply unpredictable.
Li Youwei also grasped more things at this time, and said with a strong snort: "Xu Lang, the reason why you graded the wine just now is to open up the sales channel of our winery as soon as possible?" However, the winery can be graded, but what about the glass factory and the mirror factory? ”
