Chapter 198: The Wine Giant

After coming out of the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian asked Xiao Anzi to go to the Shaofu Prison to bring all the official camps and the royal family's own iron mines. 35xs

After settling this matter, Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace again, where Mo Xun from the foundry and Zhou Xu from the wine shop were already waiting.

When Li Chengqian returned to the study and saw them standing outside the door, he asked them to follow in.

"Zhou Xu, this king asks you, how many jars of wine are there in the winery now, and how long can it be supplied to Chang'an if it is fully supplied" Li Chengqian didn't talk nonsense, and after entering to sit down, he asked the steward of the winery.

"Back to His Royal Highness, if you just supply Chang'an, then the wine in the cellar alone can ensure the supply of one jar a day for everyone in Chang'an, for more than three consecutive years, this is still not counting the new brewing every day, if you count the new wine, then the entire Gyeonggi Province will not be short of wine, if you add the wineries in Datang, the small ones can be guaranteed, as long as the grain production is not reduced, then the entire Datang will not lack wine" Zhou Xu gave a general description of the situation of the winery.

"Have you had so much wine now? What the hell is going on" Hearing Zhou Xu's narration, Li Chengqian looked at him a little confused and asked.

"This Your Highness, you asked the little arranger two years ago to follow Mr. Zhang's people to go to various parts of Datang to brew wine from corn on various farms, but His Highness's corn is really a good thing, not only can it wrap the stomach, but the wine brewed is also quite mellow, even if it is not re-blended, it is quite good to drink......" When Zhou Xu talked about the wine made from corn, the whole thing was very strong.

Hearing Zhou Xu's eyebrows, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched unnaturally, and then he remembered that after a year of cultivation, the yield of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes had increased greatly.

In order not to be discovered by his father, but he didn't want them to be piled up in the warehouse, Li Chengqian thought of a way to let Zhang Gao send people to plant in a large area of secret in inaccessible places all over the country.

And in order to make the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn that can be stored for a long time, Li Chengqian also made potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn processed products, and this corn wine is a kind of wine.

But there are more sweet potato flour, potato flour, corn flour, various dried potatoes and dried sweet potatoes, and pastries made from a mixture of various flours, yes, instant noodles for later generations.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian could already imagine that the warehouses of secret farms all over the Tang Dynasty were already filled with countless grains.

And in order to have enough people to plant on these farms, Li Chengqian also took great pains to ask his father for land and people, saying that it was for training secret guards.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the secret farms are barracks, and the people who go in to work in them have not come out, but their families have entered. Flash Dance

However, Li Chengqian paid attention to these at the beginning, and then he directly left them behind, and even Li Shimin, who was very curious about this matter back then, did not pay attention to it.

If Li Chengqian hadn't asked about Zhou Xujiu today, he might have to think about it for a long time.

"Zhou Xu, since there are a lot of wineries in various places now, then this king wants you to supply a large number of wines to all places in Datang from today, you can start with the royal restaurant at the beginning, and after you have become famous, you will open a winery to specialize in sales, in a word, this king wants more than sixty percent of the Datang wine market, and the purpose of this is to make all the drinks of the Li family in Longxi unable to sell, so that the Li family in Longxi has no room for survival in this industry" Li Chengqian instructed Zhou Xu.

"Your Highness, you are saying that we can sell wine, if this is the case, then the market for this wine, not to mention all, at least ninety percent is ours, Your Highness said to you, now in our wineries all over the country, there are not only corn wine, sorghum wine, but also different wines brewed according to the tastes of people in various places, such as the southern favorite, low-alcohol fruit wine, rice wine, and rice wine, and a kind of low-alcohol wine with foam brewed from wheat along the coast, and the taste of these wines is particularly good" Zhou Xu heard Li Chengqian's words, patted his chest and directly raised the sixty percent that Li Chengqian wanted to more than ninety.

And hearing this, Li Chengqian's mouth twitched unnaturally, this Nima's, he arranged it casually, how did it become like this, although for these industries, Li Chengqian wants people to give people and money to money, but he really didn't expect it to develop like this, this really responds to that sentence, the children of rich people can really succeed in any toss, and he is not only rich but also powerful, so even if he says an idea, determines a good goal, and throws a lot of money and time down, he can make results.

And if Li Chengqian is not mistaken, the wine with foam should be beer.

"Zhou Xu, since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to you, do it well, and those wine-making masters, you have to take care of it, not to mention offering them, but there must be a reward, in this regard, you go to the workshop to see, see how the workshop is done, you can do it, as for you, I will go to Zhang Gao to choose a house in Chang'an, this king will reward you, as for your salary, tell Zhang Gao to give it to you according to the bangs, and the kind of wine with foam, send some to this king, it is best to build a winery in Chang'an, specializing in brewing" Li Chengqian said to Zhou Xu.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the little one is His Highness's house slave, how can He De get His Highness's reward" Zhou Xu didn't expect Li Chengqian to give him such a reward, just like he said, he was Li Chengqian's house slave, and doing things for his master was originally what he should do.

"Okay, since you did a good job, the king rewarded you, you just take it, go and do something!" Li Chengqian looked at Zhou Xu and waved him down after speaking.

After Zhou Xu went out, Li Chengqian sat there in a daze, infinitely emotional, this Nima unintentional thing, since he has become a business giant, and he is also the business giant with the most power to directly formulate rules at the imperial level.

But soon Li Chengqian came back to his senses, after all, there is another business giant below, waiting for him to support, and compared to wine, steel should be concentrated in the hands of those in power, and the industry that should be strictly supervised, it is absolutely impossible to be left out like before.

Especially now that Li Chengqian is not a demon, even if it is not to deal with the Li family and other families in Longxi, Li Chengqian will find time to regain control of the steel industry.

And while Li Chengqian was thinking, Mo Feng kept standing aside, although he also wanted to know what Li Chengqian called him for, but before Li Chengqian spoke, he didn't dare to ask.

It wasn't until Xiao Anzi came back with a bunch of information and documents that Li Chengqian called him over to read those materials together.
