Chapter 124 How to choose
Most of the soldiers are good drinkers, and they know the significance of the existence of Xifeng famous wine.
Li Zhi gave Li Yi this task, which not only gave him great trust, but also contained great glory, and brought infinite potential courage to the officers and soldiers on the front line.
Because ancient science was extremely underdeveloped, it was believed that wine was brewed by the stars in the sky, and everything in the world, including fine wine, was dominated by the stars in the sky. Whether it is a sacrifice or an offering to emperors and dignitaries, whether it is a poet, a dignitary, or a common people, whether it is happy, sad or a major war, wine plays an indispensable role in it.
The literati society has a unique position in traditional Chinese culture, penetrating into almost all fields of social life, and has a huge influence and role in human life, literature and art, medical and health care, industrial and agricultural production, and political and economic aspects.
In fact, as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, the koji-making technology has been significantly improved, and the varieties of koji have increased rapidly, from the perspective of raw materials, the raw materials used in the Han Dynasty koji are barley, wheat, rice, sorghum and millet.
The medicinal liquor made of koji and the use of medicinal koji brewing process not only has the flavor of Daqu liquor, but also has the aroma of Chinese herbs and the medicinal ingredients with the effect of fitness and disease, which is also a great innovation in the history of world winemaking.
According to Li Zhi's unique formula, the use of ethanol and water boiling points to distill liquor is undoubtedly another leap in the history of China's koji industry, raising the ancient Chinese liquor technology to a new level.
Li Yi's expression was solemn, and he had changed from initial excitement to apprehension: "Brother-in-law thinks I have the ability to achieve such a great cause?" This is a great achievement that can go down in history, you hand it over to me, a beginner who has never stepped out of the barracks half a step, to take the first step in the unpredictable business troubled waters, the risks are self-evident, and once I can't do it, I can have the danger of being like an egg, and you are not afraid of endangering your other careers? ”
Li Zhi was very happy that his brother-in-law seemed to have suddenly changed his personality, and he had a mature tendency to take care of each other in words and deeds, "So I want you to pull the head of the Sun family, there is an expert like Huang Qing in winemaking, and there is an old man who is full of sophistication in official affairs, and your status as a general is when the local deterrent effect is effective, plus Grandpa Yunshan, who is fond of winemaking, is always paying attention, where will I have more worries!" ”
Obviously, his words were more powerful than any preaching, and Li Yi realized the safety of this matter at the time, and at the same time understood that Li Zhi wanted him to participate in it to improve his self-confidence, which was far more significant than his trust in his own ability.
It can be said that this matter can be carried out smoothly without his participation, and the deterrent effect played by using his title as a general is just a gold paste on his face.
"I don't have any idea of what to do!"
"I make a suggestion, you will discuss with the Zhuan Sun family in advance, that is, Huang Qing and I will each occupy 30%, and the Linhuai County Wangfu and the Zhuansun family will each occupy 20%. As for the Gu Sui Alcohol Rice Wine Workshop's use of our recipe process to develop high-grade liquor, it is up to you to decide, and the family is more experienced than me! ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's much more than that! The winemaking process can lead to a range of related benefits. For example, I promised the military to establish a relatively low-quality liquor production, and the introduction of craftsmanship from other famous distilleries, as well as the sales and dispatch of Zhengqing Wenqitang Xifeng Liquor in various places, will be the follow-up to all the cumbersome matters that follow, and the potential benefits may be more considerable than our distillery in Fengyang County. These need to be carefully discussed with the Sun family, this matter will be a great help to your business experience, in the process I have high requirements for you, that is, to learn relevant transactions and communication ingenuity, will be your future control of the huge Linhuai County Royal Mansion has a key guiding role! ”
Li Yi was silent for a long time, and even forgot to nibble on the leg of mutton at hand, he had realized that his brother-in-law had very high expectations for him, and targeted teaching had been opened unconsciously.
"How to restrain your youthful nature in time is also the first test for you, whether it is a perfect transformation into a chrysalis butterfly, or strictly abide by the law of the inherent identity transformation of soldiers, everything is up to you! Of course, no matter how you choose, I will unconditionally and fully support here! ”
Li Zhi is not convinced that his transformation plan will be in place in one step, after all, Li Yi is just 18 years old this year, and he comes from the relatively rare atmosphere of the army, the passion that young people should have, and the temptation of a rich and prosperous society are the first problems he needs to face.
Moreover, the pride of becoming famous as a teenager, the richness of his family background, the lofty status in the family, and the great prospects for the future development of the army are all imperceptibly influencing him.
During the Tang Dynasty, commercial behavior had just broken away from the lower nine streams, and it would be difficult to decide how to make a qualitative change with Li Yi's inherent traditional beliefs.
But he also understands that getting involved in business activities too early is an excellent way for him to enrich his experience in the future, and it will not affect his future development, but it will definitely affect his soldier's blood, after all, they are two completely different living environments.
Li Zhi patted him on the shoulder, stood up and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is still the same sentence, no matter what you choose, I will support you unconditionally, you don't have to rush to answer me, but don't run around, we will rush to Fengwu County when the time comes!" ”
He walked to the outer courtyard alone, notified the relevant people and waited for the next trip, and went straight to the welcome building to find Master Feng.
"I'll go back with you?" Master Feng said with a smile.
"The county king's mansion naturally has another purpose for finding you, and it's the same if I go to find Fengxing! You have to keep the straw paper in mind, and you need to take care of all aspects and keep it a secret at this time! I also told you about the next step, which is related to the future survival of our paper mill! ”
Another wonderful thing about papermaking is that it is the focus of their previous exchanges, and it can be seen from Master Feng's constantly changing face that Li Zhi's almost dazzling follow-up methods in the papermaking industry have brought him extremely shocking effects.
Master Feng will also submit the list of personnel stationed in the paper mill in Liujian Village under various names in writing, among which the personnel installed in the county king's mansion have remarks.
He was not worried that Li Zhi's power in the paper mill would be reduced, on the contrary, because of the secret rice paper process, he would only gradually assimilate people with other thoughts.
The reason is extremely simple, the interests of all people have been linked to the benefits of rice paper, and all intentions have long been strictly formulated by Li Zhi in the signing agreement, once someone blatantly violates, it will cause all the shareholders to collectively ask the court to participate in one of them, and then the shares of the subordinate forces will be divided into the accounts of each shareholder.
Master Feng once talked about someone who intended to get close to Chang Yubo, and there was a suspicion of bribing and seeking craft secrets, but the personnel stationed in the Linhuai County Palace, who was specifically responsible for this matter, led the officers and soldiers to arrest him as soon as possible.
For this incident, Li Zhifu smiled: "Chang Yubo is only for the specific executor, a key process is mixed with all kinds of cumbersome simplification, with a difference of not being reproducible, others are buying Chang Yubo, and they can't make high-quality rice paper!" ”
Of course, this is not the case, otherwise Chang Yubo would not have been able to develop new products without Li Zhi's presence.
He has taken a full trust in Chang Yubo, but 10,000 steps back, and then it is a secret process, and it is only established on the basis of pure handwork.
That kind of machine-made paper is more delicate and more terrifying than today's rice paper, which is far from being comparable to the handicraft nature of papermaking.
However, Li Zhi is 100% sure of Chang Yubo, and Chang Yubo, who is obsessed with papermaking, believes that the mastery of advanced technology is more important than money and power, and has perfectly closed the loopholes in ordinary people's selfish desires.
The reason why Master Feng has reservations is the basic means of protecting trade secrets, that is, the king of Linhuai himself, and Li Zhi will not easily disclose relevant secrets if it is not necessary.
Master Feng sighed: "If you talk about the old and spicy methods in business, Mr. Li can be regarded as teaching me a lesson!" With your analysis of the various development bottlenecks and hidden dangers in the paper industry, it is tantamount to a fantasy for me, perhaps some experts will understand it, but they do not have the deadly counterattack in your hands to hide. It seems to be a simple and low-cost impact, but its strength is enough to be called a poke and hit, even if there is a precaution, it is not able to use effective defense! Under the overwhelming overturning of extremely low-cost straw paper, there is no room for emergency research and development, which is the sharpest means of self-protection for the original capital controllers! ”
Li Zhi smiled and nodded, "Not only that, but I also have a backhand in terms of raw materials, just waiting for someone to jump into it without knowing whether they are alive or dead, one more participant, I will take advantage of the situation in the future to have one more development opportunity, someone has built a paper mill early and waited for me to go to buy, it is more beneficial than bothering to do everything myself!" ”
In view of this, Li Zhi does not want to hide it, those people will not be stakeholders of relevant forces in Chang'an City, but more speculators who take advantage of the wind to set sail, and it is okay to be willing to behave in a proper manner, after all, no one force can really monopolize a certain industry in the entire Datang.
Of course, that possibility is almost equal to nothing, and all adherence in the face of interests can be replaced by selfish greed.
And the person who caused this kind of unscrupulous infringement of the interests of others, who was willing to offend the generations of several great families in Chang'an City, must be someone who had something to rely on in the local area, or a local figure in the remote mountainous area far away from the Tiangao Emperor, so that Li Zhi did not have much unbearable feeling for his crazy revenge.
"Compared with the garment industry, the mastery of rice paper technology has become a must, and the exclusive possession of special skills is the guarantee of their own interests, but only if the local business is developed as a whole, and people have silver in their hands, there will be more and higher demand. Therefore, I will take the initiative to withdraw from the garment industry in Chang'an City, and only occupy a corner of the most high-end style design, therefore, Brother Haokuo is currently engaged in only temporary responsibility, and I will give him a broader development opportunity in the future! ”
Feng Xing Feng Haokuo is Master Feng's most beloved junior, Li Zhixu gave his beloved grandson a bright future, which is a huge affirmation of Master Feng himself, through a period of observation, Li Zhi still appreciates this person.
Of course, Master Feng is so dedicated, or based on his loyalty to the King of Linhuai County, for how he himself judges, Li Zhi is not qualified, only for the further cultivation of Feng Xing, it will be the best reward for Master Feng.
Comparing the heart to the heart is the relatively simple ancient Tang Dynasty people's cognitive benchmark for character, which can be seen from the sincere expression of Master Feng.
Next, the two had a more in-depth exchange on the affairs of Fengwu County, and this person who was involved in the specific business of all major projects was the source of Li Zhi's comprehensive understanding.
All kinds of trivial things have their own different ways to deal with them, and Li Zhi relies on the powerful Linhuai County Palace, and it is not difficult to solve them one by one.
