Taipingfang, a separate area demarcated by the Academy of Sciences.

Today's Academy of Sciences is no longer what it used to be, and Ma Zhou clearly remembers that the last time he came, there were still many empty courtyards here.

I heard that His Majesty is considering replanning the Academy of Sciences, and the plan is to vacate a mile and then demolish and rebuild it.

But that's not what Ma Zhou needs to care about now.

Put down the bowl in your hand, close your eyes slightly, and carefully reflect on the taste in your mouth.

"The taste is different from what I drank two years ago, slightly bitter, but more refreshing than at that time, and after swallowing it, the fragrance left in my mouth is stronger, good wine! Wine! Ma Zhou shouted faintly excitedly.

With beer, the emperor also agreed to establish a workshop in Jingyang, so that Jingyang has the main economic pillar, that is, it is not as good as some states and counties, but with the taste of beer, as well as the huge market, Ma Zhou has seen the future of Jingyang's prosperity.

Beer has only appeared in the hearts of a few people, and only a few people have tasted it.

Officials from the entire development ministry also accompanied Ma to get up here this time.

The Academy of Sciences, for them, was a mysterious and magical place, although they were a little disappointed when they entered, and they saw nothing but busyness and chaos.

And Ma Zhou was very optimistic about the beer, and they also got a bowl each, from the first sip of unsuitable, to the second sip of not very adaptable, to the third sip of complete adaptation, and then the last sip of shock and joy.

Distinctive, what does it mean to be distinctive?

The simplest and most straightforward answer is to be different.

Both the color and the taste are very different from the wines on the market.

"It's not beer season yet, but if it's summer time, cool it down with ice cubes and drink a bowl of it." Bao Daiki, the craftsman in charge of beer development, couldn't hide the smile on his face and introduced it to his heart's content.

It's been three years, and it took three years for a small beer to be perfectly solved.

And the hardships in the past three years can only be truly experienced by those who have participated in it.

Brewing, brewing beer, is a complicated and tedious process, although it seems simple now, but for them, it is very complicated and cumbersome.

Send people to keep an eye day and night, keep looking, keep trying, and keep improving.

Its raw materials come from all over the world, that is, a month ago, they have just finished the final version, and it has been approved by His Majesty.

In the following time, they did only one thing, winemaking, and through continuous winemaking, to test whether the methods they had developed were stable, feasible, what needed attention, and so on.

"How much does it cost?" Ma Zhou almost couldn't listen to any remarks, he only cared about the cost, and only the price was king.

"The cost cannot be estimated for the time being, because many raw materials are not produced locally by Datang, and if they can be produced locally, the cost is very low, about 30% of the liquor." Bao Daxi calculated it tangledly, but he could only give a rough figure.

"So low?" Ma Zhou felt a little surprised, the strength of this wine didn't seem to be much worse than the liquor on the market, and the taste was obviously better, but the price was ......

Anyway, he is also a figure who has been the governor of Zhenzhou for a few years, and Zhenzhou also has a wine-making workshop, and the original factory of Erguotou is in Zhenzhou, and what is its real cost, Ma Zhou knows better than anyone else.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as an absolute profiteering.

Low labor costs, high food costs, sake lees can be made by yourself, after all, it is a workshop, and it is not cost-effective to buy it.

If calculated according to the current price of grain, a jar of ten catties of two pots of about one bucket will sell for fifteen yuan on the market.

Although the workshop defines it as ten catties, the market still prefers to call it a bucket, of course, the two are not the same measure words, one is a capacity unit, the other is a weight unit, anyway, it is so confused.

And the price, which was set by Li Yuanji himself, was more than five or six times higher than the wines on the market, that is, about half the price of those high-end and famous wines.

Why is it so expensive? Thanks to Li Yuanji's Chinese teacher when he was in school.

chased after his butt every day and asked to memorize poems, but he memorized Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine".

In the past, King Chen feasted peacefully, and fought wine for ten thousand and was cruel.

Li Bai's era was not short of grain, and even the price of grain among the people was at the level of a few dollars a bucket, at that time, the best wine could be sold for ten guan, and at this time it was very expensive to sell fifteen guan?

As for the cost......

Hehe, the cost of a jar of wine is not even the same, of course, plus other factors, this price is not low.

But in any case, this cost price means that the ex-factory price of beer will be lower in the future, and the low price means that there will be more people who can afford to drink, and more people can afford to drink, and the sales will naturally go up, and the sales will go up, will there be less money?

Regional economy, this hand horse week than who plays 6.

How much tax can a brewery bring to Jingyang County? More or less is not what he cares about the most, what he is most concerned about is how much grain the brewery can buy, how much money to give to the people, while increasing taxes, so that the people are also rich, and then the people who have money will spend it, which is the green ecological cycle system that Li Yuanji often mentions.

Investment, naturally, is the Royal Business Group to invest.

The former boss of Jingyang County is sitting here, and it can be said that the finances of Jingyang County are whiter than their former boss's face, one poor and two white.

Once the direction is determined, the next question is simple.

Liu Shan was sent to Jingyang to communicate with the new Jingyang County Commander Shangguanyi about the establishment of a beer workshop, which involved many problems, not just the problem of buying a piece of land.

Hops and raw materials need to be introduced and planted, which requires the government to coordinate with the people, and it is necessary to make sure that Jingyang County also agrees, so that they can proceed to the next step.

However, Ma Zhou couldn't wait, and went to the household department in person, and the household department was in charge of money and food, and the introduction of alien species was a major event, so naturally the household department nodded and agreed.

However, what made Ma Zhou depressed was that the introduction of hop vine and barley had already been started by the household department, and it was estimated that it would be done after the year.

Of course, just a project can't attract so much attention from Ma Zhou.

The success of a project cannot be judged only on the face value.

He also borrowed some arithmetic talents from the household department, and calculated the data report on how much the workshop produced and how much tax revenue Jingyang and the imperial court could obtain according to the current market price and the current tax system.

Professional things are naturally done by professional people, and Ma Zhou is not idle and bored to find something to do for himself.

……

Jingyang County.

Today's Jingyang, there is no difference from the Jingyang of the past, it is still exactly the same, with a strong dead air in the vigor, and the caravans that come and go, rarely enter the city to rest.

The old county order went to the imperial court, and the new county order was young and terrible.

For Shangguan Yi, who was promoted by leapfrogging, this is a responsibility, a challenge, and a trust.

Whether it is the same period or other times, those who serve as county orders in the third year after the imperial examination are only acting on behalf of the county order, not the official county order.

But the speed of Shangguanyi's promotion in the officialdom is also unprecedented.

The painful Shangguan Yi put down the long masterpiece written by the former county order in his hand, which was the valuable information and experience he had left for himself in a few days.

Judging from this information alone, although he has not seen his predecessor, he can clearly judge that he is a good county magistrate who is loyal and dedicated to his duties.

But such a good county order does not mean that you can take a good place, of course, this is not to belittle Min Xian, but Jingyang This place is too embarrassing.

Rubbing his temples, he has been in office for three months, but now Jingyang has not changed anything, and the decree implemented by Shangguanyi is just a continuation of the decree of the previous county order.

He also thought about changing, but found that his experience was not suitable for this place.

Where are the opportunities in Jingyang?

Shangguan Yi really couldn't think of it.

The cement workshop is very good, the production capacity is very high, and the profit is also very high.

But the entire cement workshop in Datang is all directly managed by the imperial court, what does direct management mean? It means that the tax is directly handed over to the imperial court and no longer to the local government.

Shangguan Yi also felt that something was inappropriate, and it was a little unfair to the local government, but the entire Tang Dynasty was like a bird, so what was the use of shouting by himself?

And he also knew very well that he was not here to make trouble with the imperial court, but to solve the problems here.

Glancing at the information and experience left by Min Xian again, Shangguan Yi shook his head with a wry smile helplessly: "A good county order is a good county order, but you are too good, there is really no one around you in the future life......

Min Xian wrote down the characteristics of each person in the yamen very clearly, but how to use it was not explained, Shangguan Yi had Shangguan Yi's own ideas, and Min Xian never thought of interfering with him.

But in this way, there is a more embarrassing situation, that is, Shangguan Yi has no master by his side.

For a person who has been a supervisor for several years, the entire Guanzhong Central Plains region is running around, and he is still young and scary, where do you expect him to come to a master?

I wanted to promote one, but none of these people were suitable.

"Old Seven, how is the thing I told you to do?" Worried, there was no way, Shangguan Yi looked at Lao Qi.

Lao Qi is his nickname, his name is Xiaoshan, he is the official of Jingyang County, he is shrewd and clever, and he is very capable.

There was no action on the surface, but it didn't mean that there was no action in the dark, Shangguan Yi asked Xiaoshan to send someone with his own letter to Chang'an to find those merchants who had some dealings, to see if he could ask for some help.

However, Lao Qi shook his head: "They either say that their abilities are limited, or they have no intention for the time being, but if they have ideas in the coming year, they will give priority to our ......"
