Chapter Ninety-Three: New Wine

The backbone of the "Zhongyi Society" more or less has a white sugar business that mixes "Triumph White Sugar", or other white sugar businesses with the name of "Flowing White Sugar" and "Running White Sugar", but there are not many who insist on using it as a core industry.

From the time a sugarcane is served to the harvest, although the highest profit is indeed the sugar industry, but because of the royal control and control of the imperial court, the profits of the elite area are basically divided among the royal princes and others. The agent Wiesel, who Zhang De brought out back then, is no longer the main business of selling "Triumph White Sugar".

Zou Guogong and Princess Langya are husband and wife, whether it is the princess's mansion or the princess's mansion, the main source of money is actually the income from dried mushrooms.

As long as the sugarcane leaves are crushed and processed properly, they are quite a good mushroom base, and one of the most famous things in the back kitchen of the government is that you can eat "chicken stewed mushrooms" every day.

The yield of Bisporus mushroom is not low, and the concept of "mouth mushroom" is accepted by the people of the time after 15 years of Zhenguan. As for shiitake mushrooms and ganoderma lucidum, they are mainly used to make dry goods.

Ganoderma lucidum, which was originally quite up to standard, was made into a "wholesale product", which is really disgusting to many people.

Aside from the part of the sugar profits that can no longer be talked about, although the princess mansion and the princess's mansion have long been out of the specific court affairs, their lives are more nourishing than most of the leaders of the real power yamen.

At least before Hou Junji hacked a gold mine, his life was definitely not as comfortable as Zhang Gongjin.

Especially after the relocation of the capital, the "kitchen effect" of Zou Guogong's mansion was amplified, and even the emperor did not go to his brother-in-law's mansion several times to fight guerrillas.

Originally, the residue of the sugar industry was mainly used as feed or "snacks", but a "brain hole" of sugarcane farmers or fishermen in Changxi County actually developed a new wine.

Distillation technology is also used, but the essence behind it is of great significance.

In addition to wine and other fruit wines, most of the wine used grain. Zhenguannian's wine is still not cheap, although it is not "desugared", of course, it is really "desugared", and the whole country will probably add a handful of sugar back......

After all, Sprite has not yet been invented.

And "molasses", or the remnants of the sugar industry, it is not grain, in terms of reputation, it is naturally better than grain wine, and even the emperor will openly praise and promote.

In fact, sometimes in order to avoid being sprayed by trolls, the emperor holds a banquet, gritting his teeth and serving wine, and no matter how expensive it is, he has to block other people's mouths first.

But if you have "molasses", you can save a lot of money. Not only has he earned a reputation, but his pocket should also be easy, and more importantly, according to the average yield of 80 stone per mu of sugarcane in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, the output of this wine will definitely not be low, and the market for grain wine can be quickly flattened.

The only pity is that the yield of sugarcane has dropped sharply after crossing the Yangtze River, and before there is no large-scale potash and phosphorus fertilizer, it is too difficult to give sugarcane a shot to the soul in a short time.

With the output of sugarcane, the resistance to the large-scale expansion of "sugarcane wine" can be shaken, probably the big families in the north, especially the wealthy families who have a large amount of land resources and grain storage.

In terms of rate of return, the profit from the sale of liquor is far higher than that of salt and iron, and it is only because of the encroachment of a large amount of grain by liquor that the dynasties have to ban liquor from time to time. And even if the imperial court prohibits alcohol, the wealthy families will never pay attention to it, and an important reason for the popularity of "moonshine" is that people such as "five surnames and seven hopes" regard the imperial court law as shit.

If you go back in time, people will reminisce about the taste of fine wines such as "Jimo Old Wine" and "Confucian Family Wine", but in fact, the existence of these fine wines itself is to promote a kind of status in the rivers and lakes.

Fang Yiai only saw the future of "sugarcane wine", but as an observer of the Jianghan Dynasty and an emerging "mountain" of Tang officialdom, what Lao Zhang saw was the tragic image of Fang Yiai being beaten by Lao Tie in the Central Plains in the future.

When the time comes, the Northland giants will attack the "sugar cane wine" and will not entangle whether the wine is encroaching on the grain, but will only talk about the wine. As for privately in officialdom interactions, "sugarcane wine" is regarded as "cheap wine", Lao Zhang can also expect it.

In fact, Zhang De vigorously promoted grape cultivation back then, which was to reduce the cost of wine as much as possible, and then replace the "high-end wine" market.

All the tribute wines of the imperial court, without exception, are treasured by the family. Even if there are occasional merchants, they are just the "white gloves" of the noble family, and they have never made a fortune purely by technology and then successfully paid tribute.

It's a pity that grape planting itself encroaches on fertile land, and its ability to resist risks and easy management is far inferior to that of sugarcane, so although the production of wine has been greatly increased and the price has been decreasing, it still cannot have a fatal blow to the local tyrants.

However, "sugarcane wine" is different, it appears in the form of "by-products", which is an additional benefit per mu of yield. At the same time, like wine, it does not produce food encroachment, it is morally perfect, and the only flaw is probably that it is not born well, too low-end.

The old and new aristocrats really want to be separated, and they really want to play forced, and Lao Zhang can't do anything.

But there is one, regardless of the old and new, and it is unlikely that he will rely on his own massive grain to sell his own wine.

Based on the amount of "sugarcane wine" alone, even if Lao Zhang knew that Fang Yiai was likely to use him as a "gun", he didn't mind breaking his wrists with these "old wines".

However, if you want to wrestle with "Lao Jiu", Lao Zhang can't do it by himself, and he should gang up. In addition to the old Qin princes' former ministers such as the Wei Chi family, the Zhang family, and the Qin family, such as the Lingnan Feng family, the Xian family, the Wuxian Lu family, the Yu family and other Southern Dynasty families, they should also take some sweetness.

These Southern Dynasty families are also uncounted, and they are also "old wine". It's just that it's all "old wine", and obviously these "old wines" don't mind changing to "cheap wines".

It's all impulse, so it's better to change to a better reputation.

As for the "Loyalty Society", a group of thirty-year-old "old men", I don't dare to say what their rank is, but it's not too much to mix up a seven- or eight-grade real power errand. Lao Li has eaten pasta for so many years, isn't it just a county order of Yangtze County?

It is enough for the low-level bureaucrats to have the "Loyalty Society" and these "old men" waving their flags and shouting.

After all, how can a real nuclear-weapon-level "helper" be used casually? If he wants to clink glasses with "old wine", Lao Zhang is certainly willing, but the one who is really impatient is obviously Comrade Li Shimin, chairman of the nuclear-weapon-level Datang Empire Co., Ltd......

In order to ponder this matter, Lao Zhang wrote a very rare piece of music to Liaodong, not through the eldest grandson Wuji, but in the name of Li Lizhen.

Probably like this at the beginning: Dad, how are you doing? I'm fine in Wuhan, everything is going well, there is something I want to tell you, have you ever heard of "sugar cane wine"? Buy one bottle and get one bottle free shipping......
