Chapter 59 Preparing for the Distillery

I have to say that Yingxuan is prosperous, originally the old gold went to the household department to see the land in Bianjing, and the land in Bianjing has been purchased by merchants. At this time, it happened that the waiter of the Criminal Department was reported by the people for many favoritism and bribery.

And the mansion of the squire of the criminal department was also raided more than ten days ago, and now only a vacant land is left, which just gave up to Ying Xuan.

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Ying Xuan stretched out his hand to take the title deed and door key handed over by Lao Jinzi, and said immediately.

"Now that the matter is over, the miscellaneous family will return to the palace to resume their lives!"

When the two brothers had seen the old gold gone, they went to the gate, tore off the seal, and opened the rusty lock with the key...

Ying Hao was stunned and looked at the inside of the gate, and sighed, "This copying is too exaggerated, not even a house is left!" ”

In fact, what Ying Hao didn't know was that the number of raids in the mansion of the squire of the Criminal Department was seriously inconsistent with the number investigated, and when the person who ordered the raid was still wondering, an officer and soldier who was carrying it accidentally hit the pillar under the eaves.

With that, the veneer on the pillar was knocked off, revealing the silver light inside. However, if you want to remove the pillars, you must first remove the tiles on the eaves to avoid injury. But when the eaves were lifted and the tiles were uncovered, the officers and soldiers found rows of gold bricks lying in the tiles.

It is because of this that there is no scene left today.

"That's fine, we want the land to be used for winemaking, and the house and garden are too occupied." Ying Xuan looked around and expressed satisfaction with its empty environment.

The two of them walked into the house and looked at the situation inside.

Ying Xuan leaned against a big tree, clasped his hands, glanced around with a smile on his face, and said, "It is worthy of Bianjing, the mansion of a dignified and three-grade master is only one acre of land, this Bianjing City is really an inch of land!" ”

"This acre of land is not enough to produce wine! We have thousands of workers, and we have to arrange their accommodation. That's it. You need at least five acres of land! After such calculations, Ying Hao felt that the three-in, three-out mansion in front of him was too small.

was mentioned by Ying Hao, Ying Xuan remembered that it seemed that the workers had not come over yet, so he asked, "By the way, when will the people arranged on our island come over, and did my uncle give it to him?" ”

Ying Hao nodded and replied, "Uncle gave me four hundred people, as well as six hundred people from our Ying clan, a total of one thousand people are already on the way here, and they should be able to come over within half a month." ”

"Hmm!" Ying Xuan focused his head, and now what he wanted to think about was how to raise money to buy land within half a month, and also buy food and production equipment.

Just when Ying Xuan was thinking of a way, Ying Hao took out a stack of Huaxing silver tickets that were common in the Kyushu mainland from his arms, "This is the silver ticket that my father ordered someone to replace the gold with after getting off the ship, a total of one thousand taels of gold." Father, let me give it to you before I go! ”

After taking the silver ticket of one thousand taels of gold in Ying Hao's hand, Ying Xuan secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, Ying Ke, who was Lao Tzu, was not completely disappointed in him. As long as the market of Tang, Song and Chu can be opened, and even let the winery sell well in the entire Kyushu continent, at that time, no matter how the Xu mother and son are charming, Ying Xuan will also have enough confidence to make Ying Ke have a better opinion of himself.

Of course, just the vertical and horizontal business is not enough for Ying Ke to pass the seat to Ying Xuan with confidence. If Ying Xuan wants to get this position, he must have enough contributions and talents to make the Qin State strong.

However, Ying Xuan himself also knew that he could not stabilize the country with his writing, and he could not conquer the city with his martial arts. If you want to get Ying Ke's approval, Ying Xuan can only spend effort on others. A king is only one man, and it is impossible for a man of such intelligence to govern a country alone. Knowing how to make good use of it is what a king needs most!

And it just so happens that Ying Xuan has such a talent. Although he did not know people, he knew the generals and virtuous ministers who had been lost from the history of the Qin State in the past few hundred years. As long as they can be found and subdued under their own accounts, let alone a Qin throne, even if it is a battle for dominance in the world, Ying Xuan has great confidence.

After Ying Xuan took the money, he immediately gave half of it to Ying Hao, and said, "Brother, here are five hundred taels of gold, you go to the town outside Bianjing City to see if you can buy a piece of land." The rest of the money will be used to demolish the houses on the land and the like, and all of them will be renovated with the specifications of the most luxurious sake brewery in the Kyushu continent today. ”

Although Bianjing City is an inch of land, no matter where the price of land in the township is very cheap, give Ying Hao 500 taels of gold, or afraid that because it is close to Bianjing, the price of land will go up.

But even so, five hundred taels of gold is a lot more than enough. The reason why Ying Xuan gave Ying Hao so much money was to spend the money on the wine shop and the dormitory for migrant workers.

And Ying Xuan didn't have to go to the relevant government agencies to report, after all, this was agreed by King Song himself. Just buy the food and the things you make.

Of course, Ying Xuan will not buy these things casually, five hundred taels of gold is enough for Ying Xuan to choose the best and most expensive.

As an archaeologist, Ying Xuan has seen a few words about distilled liquor from ancient written records, which existed in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties. Although it is still far from that time, this era is already a time of great controversy, and the pace will be much faster than the previous history.

Ying Xuan believes that if he does not launch distilled spirits, it will not take ten or twenty years of hard work, and someone will definitely invent this wine. But Ying Xuan was sure that this liquor would only be liquor (soju), and they would not think of making rum from sugar cane, or whisky from barley. Of course, there are many other kinds of sake that are well known to future generations that would never be made today.

These wonderful recipes in Ying Xuan's mind will be the foundation for the long-term prosperity of the winery. 、

Maybe someone will buy Ying Xuan's liquor for research, and then sell it as a copy. But Ying Xuan was confident enough to let them return in vain.

In this era, there are no such accurate instruments to check, the taste of distilled wine is very different from the material, it is impossible for anyone to taste the raw materials of the wine, as long as Ying Xuan cleverly arranges the process of wine production, so that the thousand workers do not know the whole process of wine making, then Ying Xuan's winery can be said to be foolproof.

What worries Ying Xuan now is how to price these wines and how much to produce. Now in the Song Kingdom, if there is a large amount of wine production here, and the market is hot, it will definitely attract the covetousness of countless wolves.

At that time, it is definitely a common thing to send some killers and spies to infiltrate Yingxuan's wine shop, and it is even more funny to apply for the Song royal family to protect themselves. King Song saw that Ying Xuan's wine shop was so profitable and didn't pay attention to Ying Xuan, so Ying Xuan burned incense and worshiped the Buddha to thank God.

"It seems that in this year's time, we can only produce a small amount of money, and we can control profits."

Ying Xuan can't think of a perfect plan to do this, but this year Ying Xuan doesn't plan to waste it. It doesn't matter if the amount is small, it is also excellent to be able to open the market of Song, Tang and Chuliao and get a good reputation.

As long as Ying Xuan returns to Qin after a year, he will be able to produce various types of liquor on a large scale, and he will definitely be able to sell it in any country on the Kyushu continent at that time. And the profit from this wine is definitely huge, as long as he uses the money properly in the key places of the Qin State, whether it is a courtier or a Ying Ke, he will praise Ying Xuan.
