Chapter 17 Strange Goods

The next day, after the morning dynasty, Lin Feng left in a hurry, and An Heng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the things you ordered have been done in a small way." ”

Lin Feng nodded, and said as he walked: "Han Kui, go to Yushu Garden to find the Purple Smoke Girl and Princess Fei'er, I need their help, Liu Shan informed General Lei Jieying to lead troops to guard the surroundings of the workshop, and idlers cannot be within a hundred steps." ”

"Yes!"

Winemaking and salt making are the two killer weapons in Lin Feng's hands, and once the technology is mature, it must not be passed on to the outside world, unless he accumulates enough capital.

The time of entering the palace is not short, Lin Feng knows that in addition to the three eunuchs around him, there are undercurrents in the palace, and many family forces have infiltrated, and the palace maids and eunuchs cannot be trusted, so in the process of brewing wine and making salt, some trivial matters require two women to help, at least, he trusts the two of them for the time being.

Coming to the workshop set up by An Heng, Lin Feng looked around and was quite satisfied, this was originally an abandoned palace, called Liuyun Palace, which was close to the cold palace, not to mention remote, it was also very desolate, and there were very few palace maids and eunuchs approaching, which was suitable for doing secret things.

"Your Majesty, this is the money obtained from selling wine, selling three hundred jars, ten catties per jar, a total of three thousand gold, after the remaining tribute wine is sold, you can also get nearly eighteen thousand gold, and the small one leaves two hundred gold, buys the manor, recruits the winemaker, and the food needed for winemaking." Walking to the depths of Liuyun Palace, An Heng quietly took out the money in exchange for tribute wine and sent it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng put away the silver ticket and put it in his arms, three thousand gold is about 30,000 silver, which is a lot of money, if more than 2,000 altars of tribute wine are all sold, the least is 20,000 gold, 200,000 silver, to solve the problem of soldiers' food and salary, to some use, but it is still a drop in the bucket, not a long-term solution.

"An Heng, you did this beautifully, I don't ask you how to spend the two hundred gold, just remember to be careful and use it all on the blade, and I won't treat you badly when the year is over." At present, Lin Feng is extremely poor, two hundred gold is two thousand yuan, which can feed hundreds of people, Lin Feng is careless.

"The emperor can rest assured, although the little one was born in a poor family, he also knows what to do and what not to do, the emperor wants to use this money to do big things, how dare the little one cause trouble to the emperor." An Heng said.

Soon, Zhao Ziyan and Murong Mengfei appeared in Liuyun Palace, and when they saw the brewing workshop and the salt crystals placed outside, the two of them didn't know what Lin Feng had found someone to do. At this time, Liu Shan also returned, and the sound of the dragoon guards lining up outside made the two realize the seriousness of the matter.

Lin Feng glanced at the five people, with a serious expression: "An Heng, Han Kui, Liu Shan, Ziyan, Murong girl, today's matter is related to the rise and fall of Dayan, only me and the other six people know, if someone dares to leak half a word, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings and destroying the nine clans." ”

An Heng and the three of them did not know how to make wine and salt, how could it involve the safety of the country, seeing that Lin Feng's expression was more serious than ever, there was no doubt, and they suddenly knew how serious the matter they would participate in was, the three of them bowed deeply and swore in unison.

The second daughter had a foresight and vaguely guessed Lin Feng's purpose of making wine and salt, but she didn't say much, but Murong Mengfei and Lin Feng humiliated her three times and twice, and came to Liuyun Palace at this moment, although she helped, she had more of an attitude of watching jokes.

Without too many words, the six of them worked together in the Liuyun Palace and began to work.

Speaking of winemaking, Lin Feng couldn't help but recall his happy childhood, but he didn't think much about it. Winemaking requires koji, this Lin Feng already knew that to make good wine, you must make good koji, koji is the key to winemaking, his parents often said this when he was a child.

When I was a child, the family used wheat to make the next day, after the morning dynasty, Lin Feng left in a hurry, and An Heng stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the things you ordered, the small ones have been done." ”

Lin Feng nodded, and said as he walked: "Han Kui, go to Yushu Garden to find the Purple Smoke Girl and Princess Fei'er, I need their help, Liu Shan informed General Lei Jieying to lead troops to guard the surroundings of the workshop, and idlers cannot be within a hundred steps." ”

"Yes!"

Winemaking and salt making are the two killer weapons in Lin Feng's hands, and once the technology is mature, it must not be passed on to the outside world, unless he accumulates enough capital.

The time of entering the palace is not short, Lin Feng knows that in addition to the three eunuchs around him, there are undercurrents in the palace, and many family forces have infiltrated, and the palace maids and eunuchs cannot be trusted, so in the process of brewing wine and making salt, some trivial matters require two women to help, at least, he trusts the two of them for the time being.

Coming to the workshop set up by An Heng, Lin Feng looked around and was quite satisfied, this was originally an abandoned palace, called Liuyun Palace, which was close to the cold palace, not to mention remote, it was also very desolate, and there were very few palace maids and eunuchs approaching, which was suitable for doing secret things.

"Your Majesty, this is the money obtained from selling wine, selling three hundred jars, ten catties per jar, a total of three thousand gold, after the remaining tribute wine is sold, you can also get nearly eighteen thousand gold, and the small one leaves two hundred gold, buys the manor, recruits the winemaker, and the food needed for winemaking." Walking to the depths of Liuyun Palace, An Heng quietly took out the money in exchange for tribute wine and sent it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng put away the silver ticket and put it in his arms, three thousand gold is about 30,000 silver, which is a lot of money, if more than 2,000 altars of tribute wine are all sold, the least is 20,000 gold, 200,000 silver, to solve the problem of soldiers' food and salary, to some use, but it is still a drop in the bucket, not a long-term solution.

"Anheng, koji, for the sake of insurance, Lin Feng also chooses wheat, the process of making koji is very complicated, wheat is moistened, piled, ground, mixed with water, loaded into the koji mold, stepped on the koji, cultivated in the koji room, turned the koji, piled up the koji, out of the koji, stored in the warehouse, and finished koji.

Every step is very crucial, especially entering the music room to cultivate, it is the most important thing, Lin Feng has not done it for many years, and now he can only rely on his own feelings, in the past, his parents could do these things by feeling, but Lin Feng is far from this technology, so he can only rely on technology for three parts, and luck for seven.

Told the second daughter in detail about the production process, Lin Feng took the two of them to make koji, but it took at least seven days for this koji, Lin Feng instructed An Heng and the three of them next to him, crushed and soaked the rock ore, and by the way, he set up a boiler next to him and divided it into two parts, one for soaking and one for boiling, hoping to produce different effects.

During this period, Lin Xiao came six times to report the conscription information, and 20,000 recruits had been recruited, all of whom were put into training, equipment, and food problems, which gave Lin Xiao a headache, and every time he saw Lin Feng, he would always pour some bitter water. Lin Feng understood Lin Xiao's difficulties, but he was helpless, he had no money or food in his hands, so he could only write a blank check to Lin Xiao, hoping that the brewing and salt production would be successful, make a profit as soon as possible, and fill the vacancy.

Zhao Shide came three times and talked about the livelihood of Yan Guomin, the suffering of the people, the drought in Dazhou, and the lack of harvest for the people, and suggested that Lin Feng allocate grain for disaster relief. Lin Feng had no way, so Zhao Shide used the treasury to save only money and grain, and went to various money houses to borrow money in the name of the royal family.

By the way, he told Zhao Shide that a conscription order was issued, but all the young and middle-aged people who joined the army not only had food and salary, but the government provided their families with two months' rations free of charge, which was the reason why Lin Xiao recruited 20,000 recruits in less than a few days.

In addition, Lin Feng asked Zhao Shide to find local salt merchants and wine merchants in Yan Kingdom and pave the way for sales in advance. Of course, the two sides discussed state affairs fifty steps away from Liuyun Palace, and they left after talking about things.

I heard that the emperor was mysterious and secretive, and stayed in Liuyun Palace all day, and the queen was curious and came once, and she only stopped for half a moment. After entering the palace for more than two years, Lin Feng always likes to do some strange things, and he is used to it. It's just a pity in my heart that the emperor didn't use the soldiers, took the opportunity to retract the imperial power, and deposed the mediocre courtiers.

After making the koji, the official brewing began, and at this time, An Heng and the three also joined in.

Selection, crushing, soaking, batching, cooking and gelatinization, spreading and cooling, saccharification, fermentation in the cellar, and distillation of the liquor after a few days.

A month has passed, and new salt is also being made, soaking ore, extracting brine, and drying salt, the process is not complicated, but it is also time-consuming. The cedar has been boiling salt in a complex manner, and after boiling out the brine, it is also being dried.

During this period of time, Zhao Shide didn't know how many good things he had said, how many guarantees he had made, he finally borrowed a million silver, and was busy with disaster relief, and he came to Liuyun Palace two days ago, obviously much older, a man in his forties, more like a sixty-year-old man.

Lin Feng sympathized with him, but he was only sympathetic, who let his predecessor not be able to keep the treasury silver, and he had no money and no food for the time being, so he could only temporarily wronged Zhao Shide.

There are also a lot of recruits, there are more than 60,000 people, but there is no money and no food to feed, every time Lin Xiao comes recently, he talks less, is silent, and is under a lot of pressure, Lin Feng can only let him use the silver money seized when he conquered the Zuoxian Wang's department, and strive to carry it for two months.

Lin Feng was under a lot of pressure, but fortunately, there was a way to solve it.

The new salt was made in advance, crystal clear and white as snow, cold in his hand, Zhao Ziyan couldn't believe it in his life, the gray and white salt mine turned into a snow, held in his hand, and the tip of his tongue gently licked it, salty, and delicious.

The two girls and Lin Feng got along with each other, and the relationship between them became more and more familiar, which made them really feel different, Zhao Ziyan had relied on Lin Feng, and Lin Feng said again that day, the two were a family, in private, she thought about it, Lin Feng should be telling her that the two were husband and wife. After participating in brewing and boiling salt, he became more and more impressed with Lin Feng, and gradually, he fell in love.

Murong Mengfei often had a cold face, and liked to quarrel with Lin Feng, but Lin Feng didn't move his hands and feet again, at this moment, facing the crystal clear new salt, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Lin Feng seriously.

Lin Feng also likes the two of them, getting along day and night, and knows more about the two, one is gentle, the other is rude, but they have their own style, in silence, the two have plucked the string in his heart.

Holding the new salt in his hand, there was also a tempting aroma of wine wafting in the winery, Murong Mengfei and Zhao Ziyan stared wide-eyed, looking at Lin Feng incredulously, the new salt was made, and the wine seemed to be successful, and the fragrance alone was enough to make people intoxicated.
